CNRS Postdoc Position - Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur Philippe Stee Chargé de Recherche - CNRS, Département GEMINI - UMR 6203, Equipe PSI, Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, Site de Grasse-Roquevignon, Avenue Copernic, 06130 GRASSE - FRANCE email:  Philippe.Stee@obs-azur.fr Received: 20 March 2007 We invite all persons interested to collaborate with our group to apply to the offered 2-yrs post-doctoral contract, under the heading: Gas and dust radiative transfer and models of the close environment of hot and evolved stars; based on observations obtained by the AMBER and MIDI recombiners at the VLTI. The applicant should primarily work on the data reduction and astrophysical interpretation of MIDI and AMBER data. The applicant will work at OCA in close collaboration with one or several persons directly involved with the VLTI: O. Chesneau (winds and disks around evolved stars and planetary nebulae, data reduction and analysis), B. Lopez (evolved stars of intermediate mass, dust radiative transfer, instrumental developments for the MATISSE project), Ph. Mathias (AMBER observations of stellar pulsations and instabilities), D. Mourard (Cepheids, data reduction, instrumentation, AMBER observations), Ph. Stee (radiative transfer in radiative wind from massive stars, SIMECA code, analysis of MIDI and AMBER observations). This position allows and implies indeed collaborations with other members of the AMBER, MIDI and MATISSE consortia.
