The TAC Fellowship
The Theoretical Astrophysics Center (TAC) at the University of
California, Berkeley, invites applications for the TAC Postdoctoral
Fellowships, starting in the summer or fall of 2010. The Fellows are
expected to carry out independent research on topics of their choosing
in theoretical astrophysics, cosmology or planetary science. The
positions are for three years. In addition to being considered
for the TAC Fellowship, applicants will also be considered for
grant-supported postdoctoral positions with TAC members.Current senior members of the TAC include Jonathan Arons, Eugene Chiang, Joanne Cohn, Marc Davis, Al Glassgold, Richard Klein, Chung-Pei Ma, Philip Marcus, Christopher McKee, Burkhard Militzer, Eliot Quataert, Uros Seljak, and Martin White.

Further information on the TAC's current membership and former Fellows may be found at the TAC's main website. Successful candidates will also have the opportunity to interact and work with the broad spectrum of researchers in the Berkeley Astronomy Department and with other experimental and theoretical programs in the neighboring Physics Department (dark matter detection, infrared astrophysics, CMB), Space Sciences Laboratory (hard X-ray astronomy, cosmic rays, ultraviolet astronomy, solar system astrophysics), and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (supernovae, BOSS, SNAP, DES, weak lensing, nuclear astrophysics). Candidates should have obtained their Ph.D. in astrophysics or a related field. Required application materials include a CV, bibliography, and statement of research interests and plans. Please submit applications electronically below by December 1, 2009. Three letters of reference should be emailed to tacjob@astro.berkeley.edu by the same date.
