Postdoc in star formation at the University of Geneva
The Department of Astronomy of the University of Geneva, Switzerland,
invites applications for a postdoctoral position in star formation
related to understanding the structure and evolution of molecular clouds
as part of the STARFORM Project, a joint effort of the University of
Geneva, the University of Zurich, and the ETH Zurich. STARFORM is a
Swiss collaboration aimed at understanding the star formation process
from observational, theoretical, and computational points of view. We
seek to explore star formation within nearby molecular clouds and in
distant galaxies, from small to large scales, using in particular
infrared and millimeter observations and state-of-the-art simulations.
More information can be found at http://obswww.unige.ch/wordpress/starform
The successful candidate will work on millimeter interferometric
observations of massive star forming regions, in particular infrared
dark clouds, starless cores, and/or high-mass protostellar objects. The
candidate is expected to use proprietary and archival data and to
develop an observational program as part of the STARFORM project, in
collaboration with Dr. Marc Audard at the University of Geneva. The
candidate will also collaborate with the STARFORM members and within
international collaborations.
The appointment will be for two years, with a possible extension
depending on funding availability and performance, starting in Spring
2013 (date negotiable).
Qualified candidates are encouraged to send their application including
a CV, a publication list, and a description of research experience and
interests (the latter maximum 3 pages). The application, as well as
three letters of reference (sent directly by the referees) should be
sent by e-mail to [log in to unmask] before Jan 1, 2013.
