NRC-HIA Plaskett Fellowship
The Plaskett Fellowship is awarded to an outstanding, recent doctoral graduate in astrophysics or a closely related discipline. Fellows conduct independent research in a stimulating, collegial environment at NRC-HIA's Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria, BC, Canada; staff expertise is in observational astrophysics, but we welcome applications from theoreticians whose research requires close interaction with observers. The award is for a maximum of three years; the initial appointment for a period of two years may be extended for one further year (subject to performance and availability of funds). There are normally at least three Plaskett Fellows and competitions are held regularly to maintain their number.
Appointees are eligible to apply for Canadian time on CFHT, FUSE, Gemini and JCMT, to use the optical and radio telescopes operated by NRC-HIA in Victoria and Penticton, and/or to apply for time on other facilities with open proposal processes. Other facilities available to Plaskett fellows include professionally managed computers and the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre, which archives CFHT, CGPS, FUSE, Gemini, HST, JCMT and other data, and operates the Canadian Virtual Observatory. NRC-HIA is a leading developer of instrumentation for ground- and space-based telescopes, and fellows may, if they wish, participate in development or commissioning of new instruments, as well as on science teams.
The deadline for applications for the 2007 award of the Plaskett Fellowship is 1 December 2006. The recipient will be selected in late January 2007 and will take up the Fellowship by the end of 2007. To be eligible, applicants must have received their Ph.D. no earlier than 2002 for this year's competition.
The Plaskett Fellowship offers a highly competitive salary and benefits package.
