Attention: Dr. Kurt W. Weiler,

The Radio, Infrared, and Optical Sensors (RIOS) Branch of the NRL's Remote Sensing Division invites applications for an NRL National Research Council Associateship to begin in Fall 2001 in the area of supernova research and radio astronomy in space development. The current program is very active in the observing and interpretation of the radio emission from supernovae and supernova remnants, with related studies at optical, x-ray, and other wavelengths. The program goals are to increase existing sample sizes and to better define SN/SNR statistical and physical properties. This includes frequent new observations at multiple wavelengths, related modeling, and extension of existing data analysis and mapping software. In addition to the continuing observational program, initiatives for new instrumental capability for radio observations at low frequencies from the ground and from space are being actively pursued. A successful candidate will have the opportunity to become involved in these programs in addition to carrying out independent research in related areas.

Associateships are awarded to persons who have held their doctorate for less than five years at the time the award is offered. Applicants must submit an original research proposal to be approved by the NRL-NRC advisor for subsequent evaluation by an external review panel chosen by the NRC. The deadline for submission is 15 January 2001. US citizenship or a permanent residence visum is required.

Positions are generally for two years with a current annual stipend of $51,000. Application materials can be obtained by writing to the Associateship Programs, TJ 2114, at National Research Council, 2101 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20418 (E-mail: rap@nas.edu) or from the web site http://www.nas.edu/rap. For further information contact Dr. Kurt W. Weiler at the contact information listed above.
