Crystal Tinch American Astronomical Society (AAS)

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) announces the 2015 Jansky Fellowship Program, which provides outstanding postdoctoral opportunities for research in astronomy. Jansky Fellows formulate and carry out investigations either independently or in collaboration with others within the wide framework of interests of the observatory. Prior radio-astronomy experience is not required, and multiwavelength projects leading to a synergy with NRAO instruments are encouraged. NRAO also encourages applications from candidates with interest in radio-astronomy instrumentation, computation, and theory.

The deadline for applications and letters of reference is Monday, 3 November 2014. Award offers will be made by 10 February 2015, with fellowships normally expected to begin in September 2015.

Additional information regarding the 2015 Jansky Fellowship Program, including the application procedure, is available at the NRAO science website.
