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.
