Job Advertisement: Closing Date 15th April 2011
Postdoctoral Position
Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics of Grenoble
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the Institute of
Planetology and Astrophysics of Grenoble (IPAG, formerly LAOG) in the
framework of DiskEvol, a research project funded by the French National
Research Agency (ANR).
The proposed research project will focus on the analysis and
interpretation of observations of the dust and gas phases of
protoplanetary disks, with the aim of constraining the processes of disk
evolution. In particular, the successful applicant will play a central
role in the analysis of data from the GASPS/Herschel Key Project along
with continuum data and resolved molecular maps in the millimetre
domain, as well as in the preparation for ALMA and JWST.
The successful candidate will work with the star formation team at IPAG,
with close interactions with the molecular astronomy team. Members of
the project team can provide expertise in observations of circumstellar
disks at all wavelengths, as well as in numerical and theoretical
modeling of radiative transfer and chemistry in disks. A full working
environment will be provided to the selected candidate, including access
to the local 464-core dedicated supercomputer.
Applicants must have a PhD. Preferably, she/he will have experience in
the techniques of radiative transfer or chemistry modelling and will be
able to modify/improve the existing numerical and analysis tools as
required. Knowledge in the treatment and analysis of radio
interferometric data would be particularly appreciated. However,
candidates with all relevant backgrounds will be considered with full
attention. The position is initially for two years.
Applications should include a CV, a list of publications and a statement
of research interests and experience. The applicants should also arrange
for two letters of recommendation to be sent independently. All material
should be directed to Christophe Pinte by April,15, 2011.
