==
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Postdoctoral Scholars Program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in JPL's Relativistic Astrophysics Group.

The research will involve independent research on salient issues in cosmology. Dr. Olivier Doré, in JPL's Astrophysics and Space Sciences section, will serve as JPL postdoctoral advisor to the selected candidate. The appointee will carry out research in collaboration with the JPL advisor, resulting in publications in the open literature.

Candidates should have a recent PhD in Astrophysics or Physics with a strong background in cosmology and astrophysics. The postdoctoral fellow will conduct research of particular relevance to future large scale structure surveys with a particular focus on surveys such as the ground based Subaru Measurement of Imaging and Redshift survey (SuMIRe) or the space based ESA's Euclid and NASA's Wide-Field Infrared Space Telescope missions. For this purpose, the postdoctoral fellow will work in close connection with Dr Jason Rhodes (JPL), Prof. David Spergel (Princeton University) and Prof. Masahiro Takada (IPMU). Applicants in all areas of cosmology, theory and simulations are encouraged to apply but research projects discussing, amongst other things, these future large scale structure surveys will be given particular attention. Candidates who have received their PhD within the past five years since the date of their application are eligible. The annual starting salary for recent PhDs is $52,000 USD and can vary somewhat according to the selected applicant's qualifications. Postdoctoral Scholar positions are awarded for a minimum of one-year period and may be renewed up to a maximum of three years.

Please send a letter describing your research interests, a curriculum vitae, a list of three references (with telephone numbers, postal and email address) and arrange the reference letters to be sent to:
