Post-doctoral positions in the Infrared Interferometry Group of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (Bonn, Germany)

Two post-doctoral positions in the Infrared Interferometry Group of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn

Applications are invited for two post-doctoral positions in the Infrared Interferometry Group of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn (http://www3.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/div/ir-interferometry/).

Preference will be given to applicants with experience in one of the following areas: young stellar objects, active galactic nuclei, radiative transfer modeling or infrared interferometry.

Successful applicants will be expected to participate in interferometric observations and their interpretations. The positions offer excellent opportunities for high-resolution studies using the VLT Interferometer. Because our group is a member of the international LBT consortium, we own LBT guaranteed observing time.

The appointments will be for a period of two years starting in March 2013 or earlier.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a list of publications and a brief description of research interests and arrange for two letters of recommendation to be emailed to weigelt@mpifr.de

The review of applications will begin on December 1, 2012 and will continue until the positions are filled. The Max-Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer and aims to employ more people with disabilities. Applications from persons with disabilities are therefore particularly welcome.

Deadline to Apply for Job: December 1, 2012
