Job Description:

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP), Zurich, Switzerland invite applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow to begin Fall 2010. Two years of the appointment will be at Berkeley and two years at Zurich; the order will be negotiated with the Fellow.

The Fellow will have access to the resources and facilities at both institutions. At ITP Zurich this includes scientific computing infrastructure such as the zbox3 supercomputer and a new 5000 core Nehalem based cluster, as well as a vigorous astrophysics and cosmology research group ( http://www.itp.uzh.ch ). LBNL participates in several astrophysical/cosmological observational programs, including SDSS-III (BOSS), BigBOSS, DES, Planck, and JDEM. The rich cosmology program in Berkeley includes the Berkeley cosmology group ( http://cosmology.lbl.gov ) and the Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics ( http://bccp.lbl.gov ). We encourage applicants in all areas of cosmology theory, simulations, and observations, although preference will be given to researchers working in areas in which the two institutions have active programs.

Please apply at http://jobs.lbl.gov/LBNLCareers/details.asp?jid=23647&p=1 and reference “Internet” and “American Astronomical Society” as your source.

Selection by a joint Berkeley-Zurich committee will be on the basis of demonstrated excellence. Applications received by December 15th, 2009, will receive full consideration for positions starting in the Fall of 2010. LBNL and ITP Zurich are affirmative action/equal opportunity employers committed to the development of a diverse workforce. Informal inquiries and requests for additional information may also be made to Prof. Uros Seljak at seljak@physik.uzh.ch or USeljak@lbl.gov.
