The National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC) anticipates having two
or, possibly, three openings for Research Associate / Post-Doctoral
Associates in the radio astronomy and planetary radar groups at the Arecibo
Observatory in Puerto Rico. A "visiting" appointment would also be
considered. Applicants with research interests related to HI in our galaxy
or external galaxies, pulsars or VLBI observations are preferred. There is
a specific opening for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate with an interest
in near-Earth objects.

The candidate selected will have competitive access to the 305-m diameter
Arecibo telescope and its suite of receivers spanning the frequency range
from 300 MHz to 10 GHz, and its backend signal processors capable of
analyzing bandwidths up to 800 MHz. A Mark 5A VLBI system is used for ultra-
wideband interferometric observations with other large telescopes in the US
and Europe. The multibeam, Arecibo L-Band Feed Array (ALFA), and the
community-based legacy surveys it supports, provides a wealth of
opportunities for the successful applicant to be engaged in a collaborative
role with the more than 100 students and scientists who are conducting ALFA
survey observations at Arecibo. The Arecibo high powered S-band radar
system has unique capabilities for the study of near-Earth objects.

All NAIC staff members are employees of Cornell University, which manages
NAIC under cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation.
Scientific staff members are expected to have broad scientific interests,
and for that reason a generous travel allowance is provided to encourage
staff members to participate in scientific conferences and maintain
external research collaborations using other telescopes worldwide. Besides
conducting an independent research program, on-site staff scientists are
expected to advise visiting scientists on all aspects of their observing
programs, and to help define and implement improvements to the
Observatory's instruments, observing techniques and signal processing
facilities.

A PhD in astronomy or a related field is required. Research Associates are
appointed for an initial three-year period, while post-doctoral
appointments are initially for one year with extensions possible up to
three years. All appointments at Arecibo are contingent upon the
continuation of Cornell University's cooperative agreement with the
National Science Foundation for the operation of NAIC. Salary and
benefits are competitive, attractive and include a relocation allowance.
Details will depend on the candidate's qualifications and experience.
Please send a complete curriculum vita, including academic, professional
and personal data, a research plan, and names and contact information of
three references to: Director, NAIC, 502 Space Sciences, Cornell
University, Ithaca, NY 14853-6801 (or by email to Jill Tarbell,
jtm14@cornell.edu). Inquiries may be sent to Jill Tarbell as well.
EOE/AAE. Applications will be considered starting on January 20, 2010. For
