Astrophysics and Geophysics
The Portuguese Foundation for Science and for Technology has opened the 2010 call for applications for postdoctoral individual grants (deadline September 6th). These are 3 year grants with the possibility of being renewed for further 3 years.
The Astrophysics and Geophysics Group of the Center for Computational Physics (CFC), University of Coimbra, Portugal, will gladly support applications related with the following research topics:
- Solar Physics [contact]
- Minor Bodies of the Solar System [contact]
- Stellar Evolution [contact]
- Light Pollution and Dark Sky Preservation [contact]
- Geomagnetism [contact]
Candidates are expected to write their own research programs and articulate them with his/her supervisor/collaborator at CFC. Programs that promote and strengthen the use of the Spectroheliograph of the Astronomical Observatory of the University of Coimbra, the Portuguese Consortium for the GAIA mission, the use of Milipeia computer cluster, and the Portuguese participation on ESO and ESA will be considered most favorably.
For further inquiries and information, if you would like to have the Center for Computational Physics as the host institution of your FCT postdoctoral application, please contact the person indicated at the research topic of your interest.
