> RADIO ASTRONOMY OR ACTIVE GALAXIES OR COSMOLOGY
>
> Leiden Observatory invites applications for a tenure-track faculty
> position in the areas of radio astronomy, active galaxies or
> cosmology. The nature of quasars and radio galaxies, their use in
> cosmology and (proto) clusters and galaxies in the early Universe are
> of particular interest. The position is open to instrumentalists,
> observers and theorists, of any nationality.
>
> The department is involved in the development of a next-generation
> radio telescope, the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), in collaboration
> with ASTRON (Dwingeloo). The successful candidate will have an
> opportunity of actively participating in this project.
>
> Leiden Observatory has a broad-based program in astrophysics, with
> observational, interpretative and theoretical research in cosmology,
> distant galaxies and clusters, galactic structure, molecular
> astrophysics and star- and planet formation. It is a member of the
> Netherlands (top-) Research School for Astronomy (NOVA), a national
> association of university astronomy departments. Leiden staff has
> access to a wide variety of telescopes on the ground and in space.
>
> Candidates should have a proven record of independent research and
> excellent didactic qualities. Appointment at a senior level is
> possible for exceptionally qualified candidates. Applications, with a
> curriculum vitae, list of publications and a statement of past and
> future research plans should be sent to Professor P. T. de Zeeuw,
> Director, Leiden Observatory, Niels Bohrweg 2, 2333 CA Leiden, The
> Netherlands (jobs@strw.Leidenuniv.nl). Three letters of reference
> should be sent separately. For additional information please contact

> An important research area at Leiden is the study of distant
> protoclusters. The group is also actively involved in the development
> of a next-generation radio telescope, the Low Frequency Radio Array
> (LOFAR), in collaboration with Stichting ASTRON, Dwingeloo. The
> successful candidate will have an opportunity of actively
> participating in any or all of these projects and will be encouraged
> to pursue their own program of independent research. Leiden has access
