POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN COSMOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Institute of Space Science (CSIC, www.ice.csic.es), in Barcelona, is
seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position to work in cosmology with
large-scale structure galaxy surveys. Scientists working in observational
cosmology at the Institute include F. Castander, P. Fosalba, E. Gaztanaga,
and J. Miralda-Escud\'e. The Institute is a member of the Dark Energy
Survey and is responsible for generating cosmological DM numerical
simulations that will be used for the data analysis and interpretation of
the survey results. Scientific interests in cosmology at the Institute
include Large-Scale Structure and the Cosmic Background Radiation, weak
lensing, studies of galaxy clusters using lensing and the SZ effect,
evolution of galaxies and their stellar populations, high-z quasars, the
Ly[tex]\alpha[/tex] forest, and reionization. The successful candidate will be
expected to collaborate with our team and encouraged to pursue his/her
research interests in cosmology, contributing at the same time to the work
of developing numerical simulations for the survey analysis. The position
is initially for one year and is extendable to up to three years depending
on research progress. Appointments can start as early as January of 2007
and preferably no later than September 2007.Applications received before
November 15 2006 will receive full consideration, but will continue to be
considered until the position is filled. Applicants are asked to submit
their curriculum vitae, a brief summary of their past research and a
statement of research interests, and three letters of recommendation.
Applications should be sent to: Enrique Gaztanaga, [Log in to view email]

PhD POSITION IN COSMOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Institute of Space Science (CSIC, www.ice.csic.es), in Barcelona, is
seeking candidates to do a PhD in cosmology. Potential supervisors include
F. Castander, P. Fosalba, E. Gaztanaga, and J. Miralda-Escud\'e. The
subject of the thesis is open to a wide range of topics: Large-Scale
Structure and the Cosmic Background Radiation, weak lensing, studies of
galaxy clusters using lensing and the SZ effect, evolution of galaxies and
their stellar populations, high-z quasars, the Ly[tex]\alpha[/tex] forest, and
reionization. The successful candidate will be expected to interact with
different members of the group to find a suitable PhD topic and supervisor
within the first year. The funding will be for a total of 4 years.
Appointments can start as early as January of 2007 and preferably no later
than September 2007. There is no deadline for the application: we will
consider all applications until the positions are filled. Applicants are
asked to submit their grades (or CV) and a statement of research interests
or summary of any research done to: Enrique Gaztanaga, [Log in to view email]
