Postdoctoral research position on star formation at high redshift
The Geneva Observatory in Geneva, Switzerland, announces a postdoctoral
position on star formation at high redshift through the STARFORM
Project, a joint effort of the Geneva University, the University of
Zurich, and the ETH Zurich. We are 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 IR-to-mm and other multi-
wavelength observations of distant galaxies obtained with Herschel,
IRAM, ALMA and other facilities. He/she will also have access to state-
of-the-art modeling tools and mock observations from high resolution
galaxy simulations. The candidate will mostly work with Prof. Daniel
Schaerer and Dr. Mirka Dessauges-Zavadsky in Geneva, other STARFORM
teams, and within international collaborations.
The appointment will be for two years, with a possible extension,
starting in spring 2013 (date negotiable).
Qualified candidates are encouraged to send their application including
a CV and publication list, description of research experience and
interests, and contact information of three references preferably via
email to the above address, before 15 Dec, 2012.
Informal enquiries with Daniel Schaerer ([log in to unmask]) are
welcome.
