The Center for Radioastronomy and Astrophysics Mackenzie (CRAAM) is inviting
applications for a postdoctoral position in the area of Radioastronomy. The
successful applicant will work on the project "The Atmospheric Attenuation in
the THz to mid-IR band" under supervision of Dr. C. Guillermo Giménez de
Castro.

Applicants must have a PhD in Astrophysics, Physics, or related fields.
Excellent computing skills and hands-on experience relevant to
radioastronomical submillimeter observations   are essential. Experience with
atmospheric transmission models and/or with Mid-IR and/or THz observations are
a plus.

About the project. The atmospheric attenuation at submillimeter to mid-IR
frequencies plays a key role in the absolute  flux of astronomical sources
determination. This project aims to analyze in detail the atmospheric
transmission for selected frequencies between 100 GHz to 30 THz and for
determined sites.  The analysis will be carried on by using  the programs
"Atmospheric Model" (am), "Atmospheric Transmission Model" (ATM) and the
"Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Simulator" (arts), along with the COSPAR
CIRA-86 and NOAA GDAS atmospheric profiles as input. Solar observations at 30
THz will be used to obtain the optical depth from solar observations.

About CRAAM. CRAAM is a research center linked to the Engineering School of
the Mackenzie Presbyterian University .  Located in the city of São Paulo
(Brazil), during its almost 60 years of life, CRAAM developed an international
recognition, mostly in the Solar Physics field, where it has contributed to
both new diagnostics of the flare dynamics and to observing instrumentation.
CRAAM is now developing new solar telescopes for the THz to Mid-IR, almost
unexplored, bands.

Documents.
1) A letter of interest describing the experience, skills and motivation to
work in the project.
2) PhD certificate.
3) Curricular Summary following FAPESP model  (http://www.fapesp.br/en/6351)

Time, to the email cage.pos en mackenzie.br.

Si la tolérance naît du doute, qu'on enseigne
à douter des modèles et des utopies,
à récuser les prophètes de salut,
les annonciateurs de catastrophes.

Appelons de nos voeux la venue des sceptiques
s'ils doivent éteindre le fanatisme.
