Attention: c/o Ms. Katrina Printup


The Supernova Cosmology research group of Berkeley Lab, under the direction of Saul Perlmutter, has multiple positions available, ranging from Postdoctoral to Scientist. This is an exciting opportunity for a wide range of investigations concerning cosmological parameters, the acceleration of the universe, and the"dark energy" explanations for the acceleration. Projects include high-redshift supernova studies of the cosmological parameters, intensive discovery and follow-up of low-redshift supernovae to understand these cosmological tools, and the development, design, and instrument-prototype construction of a dedicated space-based telescope facility. Candidates should have interests and abilities in any or all of the following: astronomical instrumentation (ground- and space-based), observation or theory related to supernovae (types Ia and II) or cosmology, and/or novel real-time data analysis techniques. Instrumentation development includes both optical and near-IR images, wide-field imagers using Berkeley Lab's novel CCDs, and development of multichannel integral field spectrographs.

Requires Ph.D. or equivalent experience in astronomy and/or physics. Applications, including CV, list of publications, description of research interests and skills, and three letters of recommendation should be sent to the above address or e-mailed to gensciemployment@lbl.gov (inquiries should also be forward to this e-mail address). Applications should be received by 5 January 2001. AAE/EOE.
