Attention: Craig L. Sarazin, Professor
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral research associate positions
in X-ray astronomy at the University of Virginia. The positions will
involve the analysis of data from X-ray observations with Chandra,
XMM/Newton, Suzaku, and Swift, in collaboration with Craig Sarazin.
The X-ray observations will be focussed mainly on clusters of galaxies
and elliptical galaxies, but may also involve X-ray data on other
classes of objects, such as supernova remnants, globular clusters,
X-ray binaries, or spiral galaxies. The position may also involve the
analysis of related optical, radio, UV, or IR observations, or related
theoretical work. It is likely that a successful applicant will also
collaborate on the preparation of proposals for additional observations
or theoretical modeling. The positions are initially for two years,
with a possible extension for a third year. I would like the people to
start in September 2008, although this is negotiable.
Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a publication list, and
a letter outlining relevant interests and experience, and arrange to
have three letters of recommendation sent to the above address.
Complete applications should be received by January 4, 2008 for full
consideration. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
