Postdoctoral Appointment

Owens Valley Radio Observatory

Pasadena, CA 91125

Attention: Nick Scoville

We invite applications for one appointment of Postdoctoral Scholar or Senior Postdoctoral Scholar with the millimeter-wave array project at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory. Appointment is contingent upon evidence of completion of a Ph.D. The appointment will be for one year, with likely renewal up to three years.

The array of six telescopes, each of 10.4 m diameter is used primarily for aperture synthesis mapping of molecular lines and dust continuum emission at wavelengths observable in the 1.3 and 3 mm atmospheric windows. Baseline to 400 m provides sub-arcsecond (0.5") spatial resolution. Typical large-scale observational programs include studies of nearby regions of star formation and mapping of the molecular gas in external galaxies. We seek candidates with ambitious observational programs for the array and/or those wishing to work on technical aspects of millimeter-wave interferometry.

Applications (including a brief statement of research interests, curriculum vitae, and three letters of reference) should reach Caltech before 31 January 2001, but later applications will be considered.

Women, minorities, veterans and disabled persons are encouraged to apply. AAE/EOE.
