and within international collaborations.
The Geneva Observatory and the associated Laboratory of Astrophysics
of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) carry out
observational, interpretative and theoretical research in the fields of
extra-solar planets, stellar physics, high energy astrophysics, galaxy
evolution and dynamics, and observational cosmology.
The appointment will be for one to three years starting in early 2016

Qualified candidates are encouraged to send their application including
a CV and publication list, description of research experience and
