POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS AT THE BERKELEY CENTER FOR COSMOLOGICAL PHYSICS

The Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics, a joint venture of the University of California at Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, invites applications for Postdoctoral Fellows to begin in the Fall of 2009. While we encourage applicants in all areas of cosmology theory and observation, particular attention will be given to researchers investigating astrophysical probes of fundamental physics.

The fellowships will be awarded initially for 2 years with the possibility of extension for an additional 3 years. In addition to a competitive salary, the position includes ample funds for travel and other research expenses. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in astrophysics or a related field.

Required applicants should send a CV, bibliography, and statement of research interests and plans. Please submit applications electronically to: http://astro.berkeley.edu/bccp/bccpsearch.html by December 31, 2008.
Three letters of reference should be emailed directly to BCCPFellow@astro.berkeley.edu

The applicant's full name should be included in the subject line of the email containing the letter of reference. UC Berkeley's Statement of Confidentiality can be found at http://apo.chance.berkeley.edu/evalltr.html
