Job Announcement Text: 

Applications are invited for one or more postdoctoral positions at the Institute for Astronomy of the ETH Zurich to work with Prof. Carollo on collaborative projects based on data taken with the MUSE IFU spectrograph at the ESO VLT and/or from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Emphasis for the MUSE projects will be initially put on studies based on data from the ‘MUSE Atlas of Disks’ (MAD) project, a GTO Large Program aimed at clarifying the physical processes that sustain star formation in disks, lead to the formation of bulges and other galactic structure, and extinguish star-formation on global galactic scales.  Use of the MUSE GTO deep fields is also planned, to complement the MAD studies at redshift zero with evolutionary studies of spectroscopic diagnostics out to intermediate and high redshifts. Emphasis for DES projects will be on science analyses involving catalogues of structural and environmental parameters that are being developed in Carollo’s group, with possible contributions to the development and validation of these fundamental catalogues.

Switzerland is a full member of ESO and ESA. The Institute is a member of DES and of the MUSE Consortium and has guaranteed access to high performance supercomputing clusters at ETH and at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center.

The positions are for two years with yearly renewal possible thereafter based on performance. The initial salary will be between 86,300 and 95,000 CHF, depending on experience.

Applications consisting of a CV (max 3 pages), publication list (unlimited pages), and descriptions of past research (max 2 pages) and proposed research (max 3 pages) should be uploaded to https://jobs.itp.phys.ethz.ch/postdoc/ by Wednesday, January 4, 2017. Three letters of reference should be uploaded, directly by the referees, to the same platform with the same deadline (the referees named by the applicant will receive a link by email).

For further information, please contact Prof. C. Marcella Carollo ([email protected]).
