>The Infrared Group of the Max-Planck-Institute for Extraterrestrial
>Physics in Garching (near Munich), Germany invites applications for one or
>two postdoctoral research associates in infrared/submillimeter astronomy
>and instrumentation with a starting date in the fall of 2001. As part of a
>new international exchange program in astrophyics between the Max-Planck
>Society and the Univ. of California Berkeley, the associate can spend up
>to 1/3 of his/her time at Berkeley working on projects related to the
>exchange program.  The positions are for a period of three years, carry
>a tax-free stipendium of about 43,000 DM per year, and have generous
>allowances for travel, page charges and other research expenses.
>
>Our main research centers around infrared and millimeter spectroscopic and
>very high resolution imaging programs of the Galactic Center, AGN and
>starburst nuclei, galaxy mergers, and high-z galaxies. These research
>activities are supported largely by a parallel program of innovative
>infrared instrumentation development. Current instruments in use include a
>1-2.5 micron field imaging spectrometer, a 1-2.5 micron speckle camera,
>and an adaptive optics system with laser beacons at the 3.5 m telescope on
>Calar Alto, Spain. Starting in 2001 we will have a high-resolution IR
>camera (CONICA), and in early 2003 a new NIR field imaging spectrometer
>utilizing a 1024x1024 array (SINFONI) operational on the ESO-VLT. Future
>projects include instrumentation for FIRST and SOFIA (2003) and the Large
>Binocular Telescope (LBT). In addition, we have regular access to the
>facilities at IRAM and ESO.
>
>Applicants should have a PhD in astronomy or related field before
>starting.  One position will be filled by someone with experience and
>interest in IR/submm instrumentation.  Some preference will be given to
>applicants whose research interests mesh well with those of MPE
>scientists. For further information see
>http://www.mpe-garching.mpg.de/infrarot.html. To apply, please send a
>letter of application, a brief description of research interests, a
>curriculum vitae including bibliography, and three letters of reference
>before December 15, 2000 to:
