Job Announcement Text: 

The NAOJ Chile Observatory invites applications for a specially-appointed researcher to conduct the research project “Far-infrared nebular emission lines and physics of the interstellar medium of star-forming galaxies in the reionization epoch” using ALMA data (including archival data). The selected applicant will spend 100% of the time for this project under the supervision of Professor Akio Inoue at the Osaka Sangyo University. The selected applicant is required (1) to publish one paper per year, and (2) to submit one ALMA proposal per year. The selected applicant may supervise students for the purpose of carrying out this project.

See
http://alma.mtk.nao.ac.jp/j/forresearchers/almagrant/images/almagrant_h2...
for further information.

The candidate must have a Doctoral degree or equivalent in a relevant field. The selected applicant will be employed by the NAOJ, and will be stationed at the Osaka Sangyo University. In case the PI of the project (Prof. Inoue) moves to another university or institute, the selected candidate is expected to accompany the PI. However, if such an arrangement is deemed difficult by the new university/institute, the selected candidate will be relocated to NAOJ in Mitaka and continue the proposed research project.

In principle, the term is for two years from the starting date. NAOJ will conduct a review based on the mid-term performance report submitted by the PI and may extend the term for an additional year. For a researcher who has been employed by NINS after April 1, 2013, his/her term will be set so that the total employment period from April 1, 2013 will be less than 10 years.

Interested candidates should prepare the documents in English, convert them to PDF (max 10MB per email) and send them to the e-mail address with a subject line “Application for ‘Far-infrared nebular emission lines and physics of the interstellar medium of star-forming galaxies in the reionization epoch’”. Please contact us if you do not receive a reply within two working days.

(1) Cover letter with the title of the research project.
(2) Curriculum vitae
(3) Publication list (Separate refereed papers from others. State your role for co-authored papers.)
(4) PDF of three major papers
(5) Statement describing your commitment and plans for the job
(6) Two or more reference letters (must be sent directly to the e-mail address, before the deadline.)
(7) Your e-mail address and phone number

The application deadline is July 29, 2016, 15:00 (JST)
