*POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS*
Postdoctoral research fellowships beginning September 1, 2013 are being
offered at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics.A Ph.D.
in any field of theoretical astrophysics is required.Fellows are
expected to carry out original research in theoretical astrophysics
under the general supervision of the permanent faculty whose interests
include: cosmology, interstellar matter, galaxy and planet formation,
solar physics, high energy astrophysics, numerical relativity and
gravitational waves.
We only accept electronic submissions.Visit the CITA website at:
www.cita.utoronto.ca for application instructions.Applicants will be
asked to submit a curriculum vitae, statement of research interests and
arrange for three letters of recommendation.The deadline for

As part of its mandate to promote research throughout Canada, CITA
provides partial support for postdoctoral fellows working in theoretical
astrophysics or closely related fields at Canadian universities other
than the University of Toronto, through its National Fellows Program.
The responsibility for identifying and nominating potential CITA
National Fellows who will work at a given university lies with the
faculty at that university._Only faculty at Canadian universities may
