ESO ALMA Fellowship Programme – ESO – European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere

No. 25309
Position/Title: ESO ALMA Fellowship Programme

Institution: ESO – European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere

ESO ALMA Fellowship Programme

The European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere awards several postdoctoral fellowships each year. This programme is open to applicants who have earned (or will have earned) before November 1, 2009, their PhD in astronomy, physics, or related disciplines. The goal of these fellowships is to offer young scientists opportunities and facilities to enhance their research programmes by facilitating close contact between young astronomers and the activities and staff at one of the world’s foremost observatories.

With ALMA becoming operational in a few years, ESO offers additional ALMA Fellowships – funded by the Marie-Curie COFUND Programme of the European Community – to complement its regular fellowship programme. Applications by young astronomers with expertise in mm/sub-mm astronomy are encouraged.

For all Fellowships, scientific excellence is the prime selection criterion. Young scientists from all astrophysical fields are welcome to apply.

The selected candidates may choose to work at one of the European Institutes hosting an ALMA Regional Centre node (Bologna, Bonn, Grenoble, Leiden, Manchester, Onsala) or to stay at ESO in Garching.

Fellowships start with an initial contract of one year followed by a two year extension (three years in total). Functional work (in instrumentation, operations, public relations, etc.) is strictly restricted to 25% of the time.

We offer an attractive remuneration package including a competitive salary tax-free), comprehensive social benefits, and provide financial support for relocating families. Furthermore, an expatriation allowance as well as some other allowances may be added. The Outline of the Terms of Service for Fellows (http://www.eso.org/public/employment/fellows.html )
provides some more details on employment conditions/benefits.

The closing date for applications is 31 January 2009.
