POSTDOCTORAL/PREDOCTORAL POSITION IN:

GALAXIES IN HIGH-REDSHIFT CLUSTERS


The Astronomical Observatory in Padova, Italy, announces the
availability of a research position, either at the postdoctoral or at
the predoctoral level, open to applicants of all nationalities.

The successfull candidate will work on a program aimed at studying
galaxy evolution in clusters up to redshift 1.
The project is based on a photometric and spectroscopic dataset of
galaxies in 10 clusters at z=0.8 and 10 clusters at z=0.5, obtained
with FORS2 at the Very Large Telescope. The successfull applicant will
collaborate to the acquisition, reduction and analysis of the spectra,
will contribute developing an automated method for measuring spectral
features, and will be involved in the interpretation of the data and
the scientific outcomes.

She/he will mostly work in collaboration with Dr. Bianca Poggianti in
Padova, where the astronomical community consists of 60+ astronomers
working in the field of galaxy and stellar evolution, and will be part
of the international team carrying out this project (EDisCS,
http://www.MPA-Garching.MPG.DE/~ediscs). She/he will also have the
opportunity to be involved in other cluster projects currently pursued
at the Observatory in Padova.

The initial appointment will be for one year, starting as soon as
possible, and it is renewable for up to two more years. Renewal will
be subject to the availability of funds. For the first year, the net
salary, after deductions, will be about 1.700.000 lire (880 euros) per
month, and should be supplemented through a contract for a total amount
of 7000 euros with the Max Planck Institut fur Astrophysik (Garching
bei Munchen). Health insurance/assistance provided by the National
Health System will depend on nationality (European citizens will
generally be covered by the E111 agreement).

Applicants should fill in the two forms that can be found at
http://www.pd.astro.it/firstlevel/secondlevel/thirdlevel/bandi/bando_english.htm,

where further informations are given.

All applications received by October 15, 2001 will receive full
consideration. Informal enquiries at the following email address
are welcome:
