These > topics are at the forefront of time-domain astrophysics, an exciting and > growing branch of astronomical investigation. The successful applicants will > lead and participate in observations across the electromagnetic spectrum. > Depending on the specific area of research, the postdocs will work with > Professor Berger on the progenitors and physics of GRBs and their application > to studies of the high-redshift universe, and/or on the characterization of > transients and the development of transient classification software. > Applicants with previous experience in optical/IR spectroscopy, space-based > imaging analysis (optical/X-rays), radio obervations, and GRB, supernova, or > variable object science are encouraged to apply. > > Resources include programs with the Spitzer and Chandra Space Telescopes, the > Magellan, MMT, and Gemini telescopes, the EVLA, the Submillimeter Array, and > CARMA. > > The positions are for two years, renewable for a third year upon mutual > agreement. The nominal starting date will be September 1, 2015, but a later > start is negotiable depending on the applicant's availability. Candidates > must have a Ph.D. in astronomy, physics, or equivalent, by the date of > appointment. > > Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, list of publications, and a > statement explaining research interests and qualifications, and arrange for > three letters of recommendation to be sent directly. All materials and > inquiries should be sent by email to [email protected]. > > Applications that are complete by January 15, 2015 will receive full > consideration. > > > -- > DR TARA MURPHY | Senior Lecturer > Sydney Institute for Astronomy | School of Physics | Faculty of Science > > THE UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY > Room 214, 44 Rosehill Street, H90 > The University of Sydney | NSW | 2006 > T +61 2 9351 3041 > E [email protected] > > http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/~tara > > > _______________________________________________ > askap-vast mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.physics.usyd.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/askap-vast
