Post-doc position in galactic star formation at Universitaet Tuebingen | Closing date: 2018-11-29 Contact: Beate Stelzer |
The Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics of the University of Tübingen (Germany) has an opening for a post-doctoral researcher on studies of time-variability of accretion, outflows and star-disk interaction in Young Stellar Objects.
| ▸ more | The study comprises optical/IR photometric and spectroscopic monitoring data of benchmark pre-main sequence stars with the aim to study the effects of system geometry and the dynamics of accretion/outflows along disk evolution and across stellar mass. The data were obtained at ESO telescopes on La Silla and Paranal and span time-scales crucial for the dynamics in the environment of Young Stellar Objects (hours to years).
The project is embedded in a research group led by JProf. B. Stelzer with focus on multi-wavelength observations of the formation and evolution of low-mass stars and brown dwarfs. The successful candidate will be involved in international collaborations and is expected to regularly publish the results in refereed journals.
The applicant must have a PhD or equivalent degree in physics or astrophysics. Expertise with photometric and/or spectroscopic data analysis is essential. A background in star formation studies is desirable.
The position is funded by DFG (German Science Foundation) for up to 2.5 years (30 months). Salary will be according to 100% (full-time) E13 of the TV-L of the German public services. The application is expected to consist of a CV (including personal data, formation, skills and expertises), copies of university degrees and a brief (2 page) statement of previous research experiences and motivation. The application must include the names and contact information of two individuals who can be contacted for recommendation letters. The deadline for applications is Nov 29, 2018 and the starting date is as soon as possible.
The University of Tübingen is committed to increasing the percentage of women in research and teaching and thus encourages women with adequate qualifications to apply. In case of equal qualification preference will be given to applicants with disabilities. Employment takes place via the Central Administration of the University.
