Candidates should have a Ph.D. by the start date in physics, astrophysics, planetary science, or a related discipline.  We are particularly interested in candidates who bridge the gap between astrophysics and planetary science.  Particular areas of interest include astrophysical and planetary magnetic fields, magnetohydrodynamics, and plasma astrophysics; accretion process; planet formation, evolution, and structure; stellar structure and evolution; astrophysics of compact objects.  CMAP Fellows at U. Rochester will be part of the larger CMAP NSF Physics Frontier Center, a collaboration between U. Rochester, Princeton, UC Davis, MIT, U. Buffalo, and UC Berkeley, for which the team members communicate weekly.

The position is for 2 years with a possible third year, depending on performance. Review of applications will be ongoing until a successful candidate is chosen.  Applicants are encouraged to submit their application by December 20 for full consideration.
