Job Description:

The Yale University Astronomy Department invites applications for a post-doctoral research position in observational star formation and molecular cloud physics. The successful applicant will collaborate with Prof. Hector Arce on studies of star forming regions using millimeter, sub-millimeter and infrared data as well as radiative transfer codes. The postdoctoral associate will also have time to perform his or her own research. The initial appointment is for two years, renewable for a third, and offers competitive salary and benefits, and travel and research funds. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in astronomy or related field by date of appointment. The applicant should have experience in observations of star-forming regions at centimeter, millimeter, submillimeter, and/or infrared wavelengths. Experience with radio interferometer observations is desirable.

Conveniently located between New York City and Boston, Yale University offers a world-class intellectual environment and access to front-line astronomical facilities, including the WIYN, the SMARTS telescopes, astronomical facilities in Chile (through collaboration with the Universidad de Chile), and the Palomar-QUEST survey.

Applications consisting of a cover letter, curriculum vitae, publication list, and a brief (2-3 page) description of research interests and plans should arrive by December 1, 2008. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to arrive by the same date. Email all materials, including letters, to susan.delong@yale.edu. Yale University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, and we particularly encourage applications from women and members of minority groups.
