The University of Toronto invites applications for Dunlap Postdoctoral Fellowships within the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics. This growing unit has a focus on initiating and embracing innovative instrumentation and observational campaigns across the electromagnetic spectrum. Dunlap Fellows are expected to drive original research independently or in collaboration with others at the University. They have access to design and fabrication facilities and can propose for additional support of their experimental plans. Dunlap Fellows are encouraged to participate in the Institute’s outreach and education initiatives. Training and mentoring in this area are available. The range of activities and opportunities in research and in outreach and education can be seen in the annual reports on the institute’s web site. Exceptional candidates in instrumental, observational, or experimentally related theoretical areas are encouraged to apply.
The appointment is initially for two years, with an expectation of renewal for a third on satisfactory performance. The fellowship includes a competitive annual stipend and benefits with funds for research, travel expenses, relocation, and the opportunity to request additional research funds from the Dunlap Institute. The expected starting date is September 1, 2014. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, bibliography, and statement of research interests, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to the above address by January 6, 2014.
