We prefer candidates with a team spirit to contribute to our new Master?s and upcoming PhD programs, and interested in building strong collaborations with the Chilean and international community. To support their research, successful applicants will not only have access to the 10% Chilean time but also to major surveys in which UAUA is involved, such as SDSS-IV.
The selected candidates will be sponsored by UAUA to apply to local funding programs. Upon success the applicant will be hired on a tenure-track basis by the University. For the first step of the selection, applicants are strongly encouraged to contact us prior to the deadline at astro.investigacion @ uamail.cl. A CV, a list of publications, a research statement, and contact information of three referees should be sent to astro.investigacion @ uamail.cl by 01 April. Selected applicants will then gain the required full sponsorship from the University to apply for funding. Chilean nationals or residents will have access to a specific line of funding and are asked to contact us as early as possible.
Antofagasta where UAUA is based is a large and rapidly expanding (500,000 inhabitants estimated by 2020) coastal city in Northern Chile, on the edge of the spectacular Atacama desert, close to where ALMA and VLT are located, and where several further projects are planned such as the E-ELT. UAUA is the premier professional group in Northern Chile. It is responsible for developing and managing the first Chilean observatory in the Atacama Desert, and the first Astroengineering Center in the North of Chile.
