Dear Colleague

I would appreciate if you could post in your lab and bring to the attention of your colleagues who may be looking for a post-doc in 2009 the following announcement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CEA-Saclay, IAS-Orsay, Leiden Observatory and Innsbruck University invite applications

 for 4 postdoctoral positions in the framework of the TAMASIS project. TAMASIS is an 

Astronet-funded project dedicated to provide innovative tools for simulating, reconstructing 

and analyzing sub-millimeter mapping observations, with Herschel and Alma science as 

the primary drivers. The project is divided in three sites: Innsbruck, offering one 3-year position 

to produce realistic sky simulations to serve as controlled input, CEA-Saclay and IAS-Orsay 

where two 2-year positions will develop map-making tools using simulations and real data 

from the local Herschel key projects, and Leiden Observatory offering a 3-year position to 

work on advanced survey analysis tools exploiting the multi-wavelength capabilities of 

instruments such as SPIRE and PACS on Herschel.

The successful candidates are expected to dedicate 70% of their time to the TAMASIS project, 

with the remaining 30% used on personal science projects. This division of time is flexible 

depending on the overlap between the candidates' science projects and the TAMASIS science

 cases.

The interested applicants should have a PhD in astronomy or signal processing. Expertise 

in far-infrared and/or sub-millimeter science is highly desirable. Applications should include 

a curriculum vitae, a description of past science accomplishments and if applicable a summary 

of the proposed personal research program. Applicants should arrange for 3 letters of 

reference to be sent directly to TAMASIS. Applications can be sent to the PI institute (CEA-Saclay), 

or to the preferred TAMASIS site.

For more details, please consult the TAMASIS web site at

or contact directly M. Sauvage (contact information available at web site).
