Subject: [OLBIN] Postdoc in Optical Interferometry

The Center for Astrophysics of  the University of Porto (CAUP) accepts
applications  for   a  POSTDOC  position  in  the   field  of  OPTICAL
INTERFEROMETRY. The grant is for one year, renewable up to 3 years.

CAUP is involved in the  design, modeling and testing of an integrated
optics multi-way  beam combiner fed  by highly birefringent  fibers --
VITRUV.   VITRUV  is a  proposition  for  8  beam single-mode  imaging
instrument  for the  VLTI  with polarization  and spectral  resolution
capability covering potentially a 0.5 - 5 microns range.  This project is
 partly funded  by OPTICON/JRA4  and  is being  developed in  close
collaboration  with  Laboratoire  d'Astrophysique  de  Grenoble  (PI),
Observatoire de  Lyon and Faculdade  de Engenharia da  Universidade do
Porto (FEUP).


The selected candidate is expected to contribute to one or more of the
following  activities:  instrument   design;  system  modeling;  image
reconstruction  analysis; instrument  testing.   These activities  are
aimed at the preparation of  a proposal for 2nd generation instruments
for  ESOs VLTI and  in subsequent  feasibility studies.   The selected
candidate is also expected to conduct personal research.

Applicants should forward:
1. the curriculum vitae,
2. letter presenting the motivation of the candidate
   (including personal research programme),
3. three recommendation letters as well as the referees contact.

The DEADLINE for applications is the 20th of October 2004. Prospective
starting date for the selected  candidates is November 2004, with some
flexibility.

The applications and inquiries should be directed to:

Dr. Paulo J. V. Garcia, (pgarcia@astro.up.pt)
Centro de Astrofisica da Universidade do Porto,
Rua das Estrelas, P-4150-762 Porto, PORTUGAL
