The physics and astronomy department of the University of Toledo has an opening for a postdoctoral research associate in infrared astronomy and star formation. The successful applicant will work with Prof. Tom Megeath on The Herchel Orion Protostar survey (HOPS), a recently selected Herschel key project which will use the PACS instrument to take far-IR images and spectra of protostars in the Orion molecular clouds. The expected tasks span the entire trajectory of the key project: participation in the development of a data pipeline, implementing the reduction and analysis of the data, using radiative transfer codes to model the data, and publishing papers in collaboration with an international team of investigators. The applicant will also have access to existing Spitzer imaging surveys of star forming regions in the nearest 2 kpc and will be encouraged to develop their own projects with that data. The appointment is for one year initially, but is expected to extend to 3 years. The UToledo astronomy program has nine faculty members and active programs in star formation, IR spectroscopy, circumstellar disks, interstellar dust, and galactic and extragalactic clusters. Requirements are a Ph.D. in astronomy, experience with reducing and analyzing infrared data, and research experience in star formation. Please send applications to megeath@physics.utoledo.edu by April 1^st with the names and email addresses of three references.
