International Post-Doctoral Fellowship
                                on
             Non-thermal Emission from Supernova Remnants

The Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory (Florence) intends to award one
post-doctoral fellowship related to studies of Non-thermal Emission from

Supernova Remnants. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent. In the
case of
Italian citizens, it is required that they have been affiliated with a
foreign
institution during the last 3 years.

The fellow will take part in the activity (observational,
interpretative, and
theoretical) of the Arcetri Observatory in one or more of the following
fields: data analysis and interpretation of X-ray and/or radio emission
from
supernova remnants and associated compact objects; modelling of the
structure,
dynamics and evolution of supernova remnants and/or pulsar wind nebulae;
study
of the relationship between supernova remnants and various
manifestations of
neutron stars. Applicants should have previous experience in the
relevant
areas. Competence in data analysis and ability in using archival data
will be
appreciated. The fellow is expected to work in close collaboration with
the
Arcetri staff.

The gross yearly salary will be between 20,000 and 25,000 Euro according
to
experience and family status. The fellowship will be granted for one
year with
the possibility of renewal for a second and a third year (subject to
availability of funds and to the evaluation of performance). The
fellowship
will not entail social benefits or medical insurance, and the fellow
will be
requested to cover himself/herself with basic medical insurance. No
special
application forms are required. The applicants should send a CV
(including date
of birth, PhD, nationality, e-mail address), list of publications, a
summary of
past activity (1 page) and a one-page statement of research interests,
in
connection with the areas of activity listed above. They should also
arrange
that at least two letters of reference are sent independently.
Applications
and letters of reference should arrive in Arcetri no later than October
31,
2002. The starting date should be before December 20th, 2002.
