We invite applications for an NRAO/Max-Planck postdoctoral research
fellowship in observational cosmology and basic physics, to work with
Chris Carilli at the Array Operations Center, NRAO, in Socorro,
NM. This position is funded under the auspices of the Max-Planck
Forschungspreis 2005, which supports a broad research program on high
redshift galaxies and cosmology, including millimeter and centimeter
studies of the molecular gas, dust, and star formation properties of
the most distant galaxies, low frequency studies of the redshifted HI
21cm signals from cosmic reionization, and radio observations of QSO
absorption lines to study the variation of the fundamental constants.
The applicant is expected to participate in one, or more, of these
areas, as well as to pursue their personal research. The work is done
in close collaboration with colleagues in Bonn and Heidelberg,
Germany.

The position will be located in Socorro, NM.  The salary and benefits
are commensurate with the NRAO postdoctoral program. The appointment
duration is three years.  Support is provided for professional travel,
computing, page charges, vacation accrual, health insurance, and a
moving allowance.

Applications should include: a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a
list of publications, a summary of previous and current research, and
(at least) two letters of reference. All material should be submitted
as a single PDF file via email to: ccarilli@nrao.edu (file name should
be: "LastNameFirstInitial.NRAOMP.pdf").  Recommendation letters can
be submitted separately via email.  Please reference: "NRAO/Max-Planck
Fellowship" in the subject line. The deadline to ensure full
consideration is August 1, 2007. The appointment can begin anytime
thereafter.  Candidates must receive their PhD prior to beginning the
appointment.

The NRAO is an equal opportunity employer (M/F/H/V).
