The NRC-HIA invites applications for the Covington Fellowship, tenable at
the DRAO in Penticton, BC. The fellowship is awarded to an outstanding
recent doctoral graduate in radio astrophysics to enable independent
research in the stimulating and collegial environment of NRC-HIA.
The award is for a maximum of three years; the initial appointment of two
years may be extended for one further year (subject to performance and
availability of funds). Fellows will receive support for research-related
travel and journal page charges, and have access to professionally managed
computer systems. The Fellowship also offers a highly competitive benefits
and salary package.
NRC-HIA DRAO staff are currently engaged in a number of large radio
surveys, such as the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey and the Planck Deep
Field Survey using the telescopes at DRAO, the GALFACTS survey at Arecibo,
and the CORNISH survey at the Very Large Array (VLA), but are also major
users of radio telescopes around the world, including the VLA, VLBA, GBT,
MERLIN, EVN, ATCA, LBA, Parkes and Arecibo. DRAO also carries out
world-leading research and development of instrumentation and systems for
radio telescopes, specifically the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA), the
Australia Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), and the Square
Kilometre Array (SKA). Fellows are welcome to participate in any of these
projects.
Applicants must have acquired their PhD within the last five years or
expect to obtain the degree before starting the Fellowship in Fall 2011.
Application should be made by 1 November 2010, via the process described
at the URL provided. For further information about the facilities and
research programmes at DRAO, please contact

Toronto invite applications for a tenure-stream faculty appointment at the
rank of Assistant Professor to commence July 1, 2011.
The successful applicant will hold a joint appointment between the DAA
and the newly founded and rapidly growing DI. The Dunlap
Institute's expansion plans include a significant increase in our
complement of faculty and postdoctoral fellows over the next few years. We
seek candidates in experimental astrophysics or observational astronomy,
and encourage applicants with experience and interest in developing
innovative astronomical instrumentation and advanced observing techniques,
for instance those applicable to large and very large optical, infrared,
or sub-mm telescopes.
The successful applicant will have an outstanding research record and
potential to lead the development of the DI, augment the present research
strength of DAA, and have a demonstrated excellence in teaching and
research. The DI also welcomes candidates who will advance its commitment
to education and community outreach. Salary to be commensurate with

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship at
The University of Western Ontario to study star and planet formation.
This position is advertised in conjunction with the CITA National
Fellowship program. The successful candidate will work with
Prof. Shantanu Basu to perform numerical simulations and theoretical
modeling of the formation and evolution of star-disk systems.
Candidates with suitable experience in these areas will be given
special consideration. Current and future projects in the group
may include the study of non-ideal MHD effects in fragmentation, collapse, and
disk evolution, the study of the formation of multiple systems,
including possibly giant planets, and the analysis of
observations in order to make useful comparisons with
theoretical models.
The Astronomy Group at Western has recently expanded, with
eleven faculty members focusing on AGN's, nearby galaxies,
planetary science, star formation, and stellar astronomy. A postdoctoral
fellow can expect to have lively interactions with faculty, several
other pdfs, and a growing group of graduate students. Researchers at Western
have access to the computational resources of SHARCNET, a multi-institution
regional supercomputer consortium.
The position is for two years, with possible renewal for a third year
subject to performance and availability of funds.
Interested individuals should send a curriculum vita and a statement
of research interests, and arrange for three letters of reference
to be sent to Jodi Guthrie (jodi@uwo.ca) at the above address. Complete
(preferably electronic) applications must be received by October 22, 2010.
The University of Western Ontario is committed to employment equity.
