Postdoctoral Fellowship in Instrumentation and Origin of Stars and Planets, Portugal

Brief Description

The Laboratory is a key space sciences research unit in Portugal with strong activities in astronomical instrumentation and astrophysics, having a national scope with offices in Lisbon and Porto. Our instrumentation activities include leading the Portuguese participation in the ESA/GAIA satellite and the ESO/GRAVITY experiment. Our astrophysical activities range from star and planet formation to black-hole physics, including models and observations. Projects interfacing astrophysics and Earth climate are also starting.

The infrastructures completely allocated to the Laboratory includes a data processing center with 160 cores and 100TB of disk, an optical instrument control interferometer, vacuum and cryogenic facilities.

We seek postdoctoral fellows to strengthen our activities. The fellows are expected to integrate in the team, with large research liberty, international collaborations being strongly supported. The recruiting priorities are.

Lisbon offices: Astronomical instrumentation and data processing, planets, astrophysical exploitation of GAIA, in the fields of: a) structure and evolution the Milkyway; b) star clusters and c) stellar variability.

Porto offices: E-ELT, high angular resolution techniques (interferometry, adaptive optics); astrophotonics; star and planet formation.

Applications will be received immediately, with closing deadline the 30th of June 2010. Starting dates for contracts range from 1st of October 2010 to 3Q 2011. Contract durations are for 3 years renewable for a second 3 year period.
