The Astrophysics Laboratory ("Service d'Astrophysique" or SAp) at CEA Saclay invites applications for a permanent position in the Cosmology and Galaxy Evolution (CEG) group.
The SAp is a major space astrophysics laboratory located about 20 km south-west of Paris. It is part of a broader Institute (Irfu) with a large technical staff and expertise in astrophysics, nuclear and particle physics. Irfu/SAp has been actively involved in the development of the two far-infrared imaging instruments PACS and SPIRE of the Herschel Space Observatory. It has built the ISOCAM mid-infrared camera onboard ISO, and instruments on the ground, such as the VLT Imager and Spectrometer for the mid-Infrared (VISIR) or the wide-field optical camera, Megacam, for the CFHT, and participated to the construction of XMM-Newton and Fermi. Irfu/SAp is involved in the development of the MIRI camera for JWST and in the ECLAIR and Euclid projects.
The CEG group is actively involved in guaranteed time and open time programs with the Herschel observatory, in the extragalactic field ranging from the detailed study of individual galaxies to deep extragalactic surveys, including the study of the gas and dust properties in galaxies, galaxy clusters, large-scale structures as well as numerical simulations and gravitational weak shear analysis.
We are seeking candidates with a strong scientific and technical (observations and data analysis) background in the field of millimeter and sub-millimeter interferometry, with a strong research record in galaxy formation evolution and demonstrated independence and originality of research.
This position as a staff researcher at CEA, will be funded through an ERC grant for the first 4 years, during which the successful candidate will join the ERC research team led by E. Daddi. The new staff member will conduct original research, in collaboration with the team, on the investigation of the molecular gas content of distant galaxies with IRAM, EVLA and in preparation for ALMA.
The salary will depend on the candidate's experience. Health insurance and retirement benefits are included.
Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a statement of past accomplishments and future plans in research, and three letters of reference, before January 31, 2010. The material should be submitted via email to edaddi@cea.fr
