| Post-doc position on "Physics of the ISM in galaxies through spec. surveys" at the Arcetri Obs. (Florence) | Closing date: 2022-01-15
Contact: Giovanni Cresci |
The Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory (INAF), in Florence, Italy, invites application for a two years post-doc position.
The fellow will focus on the study of the Interstellar Medium in galaxies (chemical abundances, dynamics and ionization conditions) using optical and near-IR spectroscopy, including data from GTO time on forthcoming new facilities such as MOONS and ERIS at the VLT. The activity will be carried out under the supervision of Dr. Giovanni Cresci, and in close collaboration with F. Mannucci, F. Belfiore and A. Marconi | | ▸ more | The official announcement can be found at https://www.arcetri.inaf.it/images/data/Concorsi/DD1272021/DD_127-2021_-Bando-MOONS_signed.pdf
