Diploma and PhD positions

Applications are invited for diploma and PhD positions in the Infrared Interferometry Group of the Max-Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn
(see http://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/div/ir-interferometry).

Preference will be given to applicants with experience in one of the following areas: young stellar objects, active galactic nuclei, radiative transfer modeling, or infrared interferometry.

Successful applicants will be expected to participate in interferometric observations and their interpretations, or in instrumentation projects (in particular, science software development for the VLTI-MATISSE instrument). The positions offer excellent opportunities for high-resolution studies using the VLT Interferometer. Since our group is a member of the LBT LINC-NIRVANA consortium, we own LBT Guaranteed Observing Time.

The appointment is initially for two years and is renewable for up to six years. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, list of publications, and brief description of research interests, and arrange for one letter of recommendation to be emailed to weigelt@mpifr.de.

The Max-Planck Society is an equal-opportunity employer and aims to employ more disabled people. Applications from disabled persons are, therefore, particularly welcome.
