------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Lagrange Postdoctoral Fellowships Web: http://ilp.upmc.fr/fellowships/postdoc-fellowships.php The ILP invites applications from scientists with recent PhDs for several Fellowships beginning in 2017. Lagrange Fellows will receive a salary according to experience, and generous travel, research, and visitor funds, for 2 years (+ 1). The Lagrange Institute further expands its visitor's program by the Lagrange Awards, enabling international leaders in the research themes of the Institute and their groups to spend extended periods of time collaborating with ILP fellows and members in Paris. In addition, the ILP hosts regular workshops and conferences. Successful candidates will have demonstrated outstanding research creativity and have the potential to develop and lead projects in collaboration with ILP members. Lagrange fellows will perform their research activities at the ILP's member laboratories (depending on research speciality), will be immersed in an internationally visible research environment with rich intellectual and computational resources, and opportunities for involvement in the leading astronomical observations and (astro-)particle physics experiments of the decade. Research strengths include (but are not limited to) theoretical and observational cosmology, the cosmic beginning, dark matter and dark energy research, theoretical and experimental (astro-)particle physics, and recent advances in quantum field theory and quantum gravity. If desired, Fellows may attend short courses on emerging research methods. Members of the Lagrange Institute are involved in leading capacities in several international projects, including Planck, Herschel, Euclid, CFHTLS, TeraPix, BOSS, AUGER, CTA, VIPER, Square Kilometer Array, ATLAS at LHC and HESS. Applications should include a research proposal, a statement of past research accomplishments, a curriculum vitae and a publication list. Candidates should also arrange for 3 letters of reference to be uploaded to the web application. All application materials including reference letters will have to be received by the 16th of November, 2016 to guarantee full consideration. Please note that the number of fellowships is conditional on funding. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. 3-year postdoctoral positions in extragalactic / ISM astronomy at LERMA (Paris) The LERMA, Paris Observatory and IAP/CNRS are seeking candidates for 2 post-doctoral positions in (P1) photo-ionisation and shock modelling and (P2) hydrodynamical simulations of Cool Core Galaxy Clusters, starting at the earliest in Spring 2017. The successful candidate will carry out research within the LYRICS project (https://vm-wordpress-lerma01.obspm.fr/lyrics/), funded by the french research agency (ANR). The goal of this project is to study the life cycle of gas in galaxies in the presence of AGN-feedback, by studying the filamentary network surrounding Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs). Applicants should have a PhD in physics or astronomy by the time of the appointment. We encourage applications from candidates with strong expertise in photo-ionisation, shock modelling (e.g. Meudon-PDR, CLOUDY, MAPPINGs) for P1 or hydrodynamical simulations of galaxies (e.g. RAMSES, Enzo, Gadget) for P2. Experience with manipulating multi-wavelength extragalactic data will also be considered. The LERMA, Paris Observatory/IAP maintain a lively visitor program and hosts regular workshops and conferences throughout the year. The successful candidate will be immersed in an internationally visible research environment in the Paris Campus, with rich intellectual and computational resources. The appointment is for 2+1 years with a salary including social security benefits. Funding will also be allocated for travel. Applicants should submit a CV (max. 2 pages), a publication list, a short review of previous works (2 pages), a statement of research interests (2 pages) and 2 reference letters.

astro (sub-cosmo) computing school 16-27.05.2016 @Les Houches, France
by Boud Roukema 10 Jan '16

10 Jan '16

[message from Rolf Walder, Ecole Normale Superieure @Lyon] Dear colleagues I would like to announce an International School of Computational Astrophysics at Les Houches, France, May 16-27 2016. I would also like to distribute this information on your web-pages, bulletins, within your community and, in particular, among your PhD-students and young post-docs. OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHOOL ======================== Contemporary astrophysics is unthinkable without numerical simulations. Applications range from in-depth studies of individual physical processes, like particle acceleration in magnetic reconnection, to scrutinizing the multi-physics nature of an object class, for example the relative role of gravity, hydrodynamics, radiation, chemistry, and magnetic fields for molecular clouds and star formation. This wide physical interest, together with ever advancing compute architectures, entails an equally wide range of numerical and computational techniques. The school aims at promoting this broad, multi-physics, multi-technique perspective. It will survey numerical techniques for different physics, illustrate their combination, address their implementation on high performance compute platforms, and exemplify strengths and limitations of individual and combined approaches. The goal of the school is to broaden the participants' knowledge on multi-physics modeling in astrophysics and to sharpen their awareness of pitfalls when physically interpretation corresponding simulation data. Please find more information at http://comp-phys-2016.sciencesconf.org/ Alternatively you may contact me directly at Rolf.Walder ens-lyon.fr Yours sincerely Rolf Walder

Two cosmology postdoctoral positions at Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) (fwd)
by Boud Roukema 01 Jun '15

01 Jun '15

Postdoctoral Positions in Cosmology at KASI The cosmology group at the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), Daejeon, Korea invite applications for up to 2 postdoctoral fellow positions in theoretical/observational cosmology to work with Dr. Arman Shafieloo. One position is available as early as November 2015 and another position will be available from April 2016. Cosmology group at KASI consist of Drs. Yong-Seon Song (PI), Ki Young Choi, Arman Shafieloo, Eric Linder (as a visiting professor) and currently 5 postdoctoral researchers and a PhD student. The group is consistently growing and is active in various fields of cosmology including observational cosmology, primordial inflation, cosmological perturbation, large scale structure and dark energy. Our group at KASI is a member of major wide-deep field surveys such as DESI (and soon LSST) and have close connections to other KASI survey involvements including KMTnet, JCMT, ALMA and GMT. For one of the positions we are particularly interested to a young and enthusiastic researcher to work on large scale structure data (real data and future data simulations) to test and study different early universe scenarios. For another position, we are interested to an applicant to work on advanced statistical methods of data analysis and their applications in studying various cosmological observations. This could involve working on innovative algorithms to deal with large flow of data from future cosmological surveys (Cosmology Big Data) such as LSST. The positions are initially for two years, with the possibility of a third year depending on the research performance, mutual agreement or funding situation. The starting date of the appointments are negotiable. Interested applicants should submit their CV, a list of publications, and a statement of research interests to icapadmin at kasi.re.kr and CC to Dr. Arman Shafieloo - shafieloo at kasi.re.kr. They should mention in the subject of their email that they are applying for cosmology postdoctoral positions. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to the same addresses. First position can be filled by November 2015 in case of availability of a suitable applicant and deadline is 30th of June 2015. Those who have strong backgrounds in astrophysics, observational cosmology, theoretical cosmology and/or have expertise in advanced statistical methods of data analysis are encouraged to apply.
