This position requires a Ph.D. in astronomy/astrophysics plus: observing experience with ground-based telescopes in the optical, infrared and/or mid-infrared wavelength regimes, and/or theoretical modeling and interpretation of such observational data; experience in reducing and analyzing astronomical data from ground-based observatories and a record of publishing original astronomical research papers in refereed scientific literature.The deadline for applications is 15 November 2006. The RA will be selected by late January 2007. To be eligible, applicants must have received their Ph.D. no earlier than 2002.
We offer a highly competitive salary and benefits package.
