*************************************
JINA POSTDOC AT UCHICAGO
*************************************


Applications are invited for one (or perhaps two) Postdoctoral Research
Positions in the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA) in the
Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago,
beginning in the summer or autumn of 2006. JINA, an NSF Physics Frontier
Center, is a collaborative effort of three universities, the University
of Notre Dame, the University of Chicago, and Michigan State University,
and the Argonne National Laboratory. The scientific goal of the Center
is to study the diverse nuclear processes that provide energy generation
in stars, trigger supernova events, and are responsible for the
synthesis of the heavy elements in astrophysical environments. JINA
researchers at the University of Chicago have a broad range of
interests, including supernova explosions of Types Ia and II, X-ray
bursts, gamma-ray bursts, novae, nucleosynthesis of the r-process heavy
elements, thermonuclear reactions and weak interactions in stellar and
supernova environments, and galactic and cosmic chemical evolution. JINA

astrophysicists work in close collaboration with researchers in
theoretical and experimental nuclear astrophysics and cosmochemistry at
both the University of Chicago's Cosmochemistry Center and the Argonne
National Laboratory, and with researchers at the ASC/Alliances Centerfor
Astrophysical Thermonuclear Flashes at the University of Chicago, and
interact with researchers at the Kavli Institute for Cosmological
Physics. The ideal candidate would be able to take full advantage of
this interdisciplinary environment. The successful candidate must have a
PhD by the date of the appointment. Experience in theoretical nuclear
astrophysics is desirable.


Interested applicants should provide a curriculum vitae and a short
statement of research interests, and arrange for three letters of
recommendation to be sent to:
