Job Description:

The Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology KIPAC) at Stanford University seeks young scientists of exceptional promise for Kavli Fellowships in astrophysics and cosmology. This fellowship program offers outstanding young scientists with experience in computation, instrumentation, observation, or theory, opportunities to develop innovative research programs in astrophysics and cosmology. Kavli Fellows will have great freedom, but may collaborate with existing KIPAC groups when appropriate. We expect to appoint one or more fellows this year. The positions offer excellent salary and benefits and a term of three years. The successful candidates will also receive a generous annual budget to support research expenses.

KIPAC is a joint venture between the Stanford Department of Physics and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Research interests cover the interface between physics and astronomy, including a broad range of experimental, computational, observational, and theoretical topics. Existing programs include studies of dark energy, cosmic dynamics and structure formation, probing inflation with Cosmic Microwave Background polarization experiments, searches for dark matter, and studies of black holes, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, stars (including the sun) and other astrophysical sources. KIPAC members are involved in projects such as the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, the AGIS TeV Gamma-Ray Observatory, CDMS, the BICEP-2/ Keck Array, Planck, QUaD, and QUIET CMB experiments, DES, JDEM, LSST, NuSTAR, ASTRO-H and the International X-ray Observatory. There are excellent laboratory facilities for instrumental development and significant computational resources for theoretical astrophysical research and data analysis.

Successful applicants should have, or be in the process of completing, a Ph.D. in astronomy or physics. They should possess a strong research background and provide evidence of future potential. Applicants will automatically be considered for all available postdoctoral opportunities at KIPAC.

Applicants should provide a CV, research statement and arrange for three letters of reference. Please visit http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/kipac/apply.html to submit your application. The deadline for receipt of all documents is December 1, 2009, although late applications may be considered until the positions are filled.
