Dear SDSS collaboration,

We are inviting nominations for Kavli IPMU fellows. Kavli IPMU fellowships are intended for exceptional young scientists of great promise who have recently been awarded, or who are about to be awarded, the doctoral degree. This fellowship offers both a very generous stipend and research grant.

Kavli IPMU is one of the leading institutions of the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Survey, a multi-layer 300 nights Subaru campaign that will begin in spring 2014.  Primary goals include cosmological constraints from weak lensing measured over 1400 square degrees as well as a SN search program.  Kavli IPMU is also leading the development of the Prime Focus Spectrograph which will conduct a BAO, high-z galaxy, and galactic archeology survey after the completion of the HSC program. 

Further opportunities exist in the area of galaxy and quasar evolution.  We are active in the development of SDSS-IV programs including MaNGA, which will obtain resolved spectroscopy of 10,000 nearby galaxies, and eBOSS, which extends the BOSS survey to z~1-2.  Kavli IPMU is a full institutional member in SDSS-III with a focus on BOSS.  In addition, our members are active in programs that utilize current state-of-the-art instruments on Subaru (e.g., FMOS, IRCS) as well as multi-wavelength data sets such as COSMOS. Nominations of candidates with an observational or theoretical background in supernova research are also encouraged.

Details can be found here (this position has not been advertised on AAS):

Nominations are accepted from department chairs, faculty advisers, professors or research scientists. The deadline for nominations is Oct 15th.

Thank you,

Alexie Leauthaud
