Postdoctoral Fellowships at NAOJ/Hinode project

The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) invites applications for postdoctoral positions available starting from FY2010 (commencing April 2010). The Hinode project at NAOJ would like to encourage young solar physicists to apply for these positions. Members of the Hinode project are engaged in the science operation of Hinode, running Hinode Science Center as well as conducting their own research.

There are two types of positions: the so-called 'project' positions and the 'general' positions. (a)A project position is associated with a particular project such as Hinode, and application is made to the project directly. (b)A general position has no direct association with a project in terms of research, although each applicant is required to name the potential PD advisor and the research field, and a successful applicant formally belongs to the project that his/her advisor belongs to. For a general position application is made to NAOJ.

You are strongly advised to contact us before you decide which position you are applying for. All the positions are for three years.

To complete application please send your i)CV including a list of publications (refereed and non-refereed articles are to be listed separately), ii)a statement of your research accomplishment, iii)a statement of research plan, iv)copies of up to three papers and iv)letters of reference (not compulsory but strongly advised) to either the address (1), for a general position, or the address (2), for a Hinode position. You also must state explicitly in your cover letter which position you are applying for, and in the case of a general position in which field you are interested. All the application materials must be received by 17 December 2009.

If you have any query please contact Prof. Saku Tsuneta (email: saku.tsuneta@nao.ac.jp, phone: +81-422-34-3720, fax: +81-422-34-372)
