Job Description:

The Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) at Stanford University and the SLAC National Accelerator Center has a number of openings for Postdoctoral Research Fellows for the Fall of 2010. These appointments are for up to three years and are reviewed annually.

KIPAC is a joint institute formed by the Departments of Physics and Applied Physics at Stanford University, and by SLAC. Research interests at the Institute are broad but are focused at the interface between physics and astronomy, encompassing observational, theoretical, computational, and experimental topics.

We are seeking outstanding individuals with a commitment to carrying out a vigorous research program in any area encompassed by KIPAC's broad research goals in astrophysics and cosmology. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to collaborate with existing research groups at Stanford/SLAC, and to participate in a variety of ground and satellite-based projects, including the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGST). Other research areas where applications are particularly encouraged include multiwavelength studies of galaxies and galaxy clusters; gravitational lensing; searches for dark matter; the Dark Energy Survey; the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope; cosmological parameter estimation; Cosmic Microwave Background polarization experiments; and current and future TeV gamma-ray telescopes. KIPAC also has an active research program in theoretical and computational astrophysics with an emphasis on compact objects and the formation and evolution of structure in the Universe, and welcomes applications in these areas.

Successful applicants should have, or be in the process of completing, a Ph.D. in Astronomy or Physics. They should posses a strong research background and provide evidence of outstanding potential. These positions are highly competitive and offer excellent salaries and benefits. Applicants will automatically be considered for other postdoctoral opportunities at KIPAC, including the Kavli Fellowships.

Applicants should provide a statement of research interests, a CV, and arrange for three letters of reference. All applications should be submitted through the web interface at http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/kipac/apply.html . The deadline for receipt of documents is December 1, 2009, although late applications
may be considered until the positions are filled.

Further information about KIPAC is available at http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/kipac/ . Informal inquires regarding these positions may be addressed to postdoc-recruit@kipac.stanford.edu or to any KIPAC faculty member at http://www-group.slac.stanford.edu/kipac/faculty.html .
