> POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS IN ASTROPHYSICS
> University of Crete, Greece
>
> The Astrophysics Group of the Physics Department at the University  
> of Crete
> (Greece) has been recently awarded a four-year Marie Curie Transfer of
> Knowledge grant from the European Union. The scope of the grant is  
> to improve
> upon the existing research capabilities of the group, which will  
> act as host
> for a number of senior researchers and we expect to hire three  
> postdoctoral
> fellows over the next two years.
>
> Currently there is an opening for one postdoctoral position in the  
> area of
> temporal studies of compact sources in the X-ray, gamma-ray,  
> optical domain.
> The successful candidate is expected to make use of the local  
> facilities and
> in particular the data obtained with OPTIMA, a versatile high-speed (2
> microsec) photo-polarimeter intended for time resolved observations of
> compact objects, at Skinakas Observatory. Details on OPTIMA can be  
> found at
> http://www.mpe.mpg.de/OPTIMA/. The duration of the position is for  
> a period
> of 2 years. The starting date is negotiable and could be as early as
> September 2006.
>
> Interested applicants are requested to send a cover letter with a CV,
> publication record, and description of research interests along  
> with the
> names of three individuals who could write letters of  
> recommendation to Prof.
> Nick Kylafis, Dept. of Physics, Univ. of Crete, P.O. Box 2208,  
> GR-71003
> Heraklion, Greece. Applications by e-mail to  
> “kylafis@physics.uoc.gr” are
> strongly encouraged. The application deadline is August 1st 2006.
>
> The Astrophysics Group in Crete is very active and currently  
> consists of 6
> faculty members, 2 postdocs, 1 support astronomer, 2 engineers and  
> several
> graduate students. Their research interests cover a variety of  
> topics in
> Galactic and extragalactic astrophysics.
>
> The Astrophysics Group manages the 1.3 m telescope at Skinakas  
> Observatory,
> located at an altitude of 1750 m at a distance of only 60 km from  
> the city of
> Heraklion. The Skinakas Observatory has been built and operates as  
> part of a
> scientific research collaboration between the University of Crete, the
> Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH) and the
> Max-Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik of Germany. The
> instrumentation of the telescope includes a focal reducer enabling  
> wide field
> optical imaging, several optical cameras with a suite of wide and  
> narrow-band
> filters, a low-resolution spectrometer, a recently acquired  
> 7x7arcmin near-IR
> camera, the OPTIMA high-speed photo-polarimeter (for a period of 3  
> months per
> year), as well as an Echelle spectrograph (to be installed in early  
> 2007).
