Contact: Beate Stelzer |
| The Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics (IAAT) of Universität Tübingen (Germany) offers a full-time 3-year post-doctoral position in the area of observational stellar astrophysics within the research group on Space Based Astrophysics led by Prof. B. Stelzer. Starting date is as soon as possible and the candidate should pursue the goal of habilitation. | | ▸ more | The main scientific activities of the Space Based Astrophysics group at Universität Tübingen are on the formation and evolution of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs with focus on protostellar disks and accretion/outflows, as well as magnetic activity and rotation in low-mass stars. We conduct multi-wavelength observations from the radio to the X-ray band using ground- and space-based instrumentation including top-level facilities such as ESO/VLT, XMM-Newton, TESS, eROSITA and Gaia. The group is involved in a 4MOST survey and software development for PLATO.
The applicant must have a PhD degree in astronomy or astrophysics and a background in one or more of the scientific areas of the research group or a closely related field. Expertise in astronomical observing techniques (e.g. X-ray data analysis, optical spectroscopy/photometry, radio data analysis) is required. The successful candidate will pursue the goal of habilitation, and is expected to contribute to the academic life of IAAT through teaching and the supervision of students. He/she will be involved in international collaborations and will be encouraged to participate in science teams of future astrophysical observing facilities.
The appointment is for a full-time 3-year position. Salary will be according to grade E13 of the TV-L of the German public services.
