The University of Vienna announces availability of a 4-year postdoctoral position in the field of star and planet formation and/or exoplanetary research. We primarily seek an excellent candidate developing research in any of the areas of planet formation, protoplanetary disks, or exoplanetary atmospheres, focusing on theoretical/numerical modeling or observations and including data from JWST in the future. The position is part of the Star and Planet Formation group of Prof. Manuel Guedel that hosts a large national research program on planet formation and exoplanetary habitability (http://path.univie.ac.at) offering many opportunities for participation and collaboration. The candidate will be expected to carry out his/her independent research programs, but is strongly encouraged to also engage in collaborations within the group.

The candidate will have access to observatories of ESO and ESA; for numerical work, the Vienna Scientific Cluster will be accessible. There are many opportunities to interact within ongoing or planned instrument projects (PLATO, CHEOPS, Athena, ESO E-ELT, etc). Funds are made available to support travel expenses and conference participation. A modest level of teaching is expected. The position should be filled at the earliest possible date but no earlier than 1 March 2017. Duration of employment: 4 years.

Applications include a motivation letter addressed to Prof. M. Guedel, a CV, a publication list, a summary of past research (max 2 pages), and an outline of the proposed research program for the duration of the employment (max. 4 pages). These documents must be submitted electronically as a PDF file to university's Job Center, http://jobcenter.univie.ac.at/en/applications/, referring to Job code 7143. Review starts 1 February  2017.
