Osservatorio Astronomico di Palermo Giuseppe S. Vaiana expects to appoint
one fellow in the area of X-ray observations of stellar coronae
under the European Commission's Marie Curie Development Host
Fellowship Scheme. 

Osservatorio Astronomico di Palermo has a long tradition in 
X-ray astronomy and in particular on stellar and solar coronal physics.
Part of the recent activity has been centered on the study of 
stellar coronae considering coeval stellar samples.  These
studies, initiated with data of the Einstein Observatory 
and of ROSAT, continue through the access to a large number of 
X-ray observations of CHANDRA and XMM/NEWTON as part of both 
guaranteed and guest-observer programs.

The scientific aim of this work is to understand the relationship
between the stellar interior structure and the stellar outer
atmosphere.  The X-ray emitting coronae of late-type stars play a
crucial role in stellar evolution from the pre-main sequence phase
onward, impacting on a diversity of other areas of astronomy.  Coronal
properties affect the angular momentum evolution of the stars and hence
the dynamo efficiency producing a feedback process with a tight
interplay between the properties of the stellar interiors and those of
the outer atmospheric layers.

The successful candidate is expected to partecipate to the analysis of the
new X-ray data mainly on open clusters and star forming regions with special 
emphasis on spectroscopic data. 

Candidates should have a PhD in a relevant field or at least four years of
full-time research experience at postgraduate level other than doctoral
studies. The ability to work in team and possibly a strong and competitive
research programme are important skills.

The applicant must be national of a Member State of the European
Community (other than Italy) or an Associated State, or otherwise
residing in the Community for at least the last five years.  The fellow
must be of age 35 years or less (allowance is made for time actually
served in compulsory military or civil service and for childcare with a
maximum of 2 years per child). In addition candidates should not have
been resident in Italy for more than 12 months in the two years prior
to selection.  Gross salary, including all compulsory deductions under
italian legislation, is fixed at 3813 Euro per month plus a mobility
allowance for the duration of the contract, which is expected to last
for 24 months.  Female candidates are explicitly encouraged to apply.

Applications, including CV, publication list,  description of
applicant's research interests/program (all documents above should be
signed by the candidate), documents certifying the doctoral degree or
a four years of full time research experience and two letters of
recommendations should arrive by 1st March 2001 at:
