Postdoctoral research position in star formation

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position at the University of Geneva (Geneva Observatory and the affiliated ISDC) in Switzerland to start as soon as possible.

The successful candidate will be member of the research group led by Prof. Marc Audard in the field of star formation. The group’s research interests focus on the study of star formation through multi-wavelength observations (from X-rays to radio).

Candidates with experience in (sub-)millimeter observations of star forming regions, jets and molecular outflows, and disks are particularly encouraged to apply. Applications from candidates with theoretical expertise in the interpretation of (sub-)millimeter data are also welcome. The successful candidate is expected to collaborate with the group and will also be encouraged to pursue independent research.

The appointment is for one year and may be extended to a second year, should additional funds become available. Salary ranges from about 64,000 to 73,000 Swiss Francs, depending on experience. Funds for research expenses and travel are available as well.

Candidates should send a curriculum vitae, a publication list, a description of research interests and plans. They should also arrange for two letters of recommendation to be sent by e-mail (preferred) or directly to the address below. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
