The Astronomy Department of the University of Concepcion (UdeC; 
www.astroudec.cl) invites recent Ph.D. graduates to apply for Fondecyt 
Postdoctoral positions with professors of our department. The Fondecyt Postdoc, 
open to all areas of science and technology, is a prestigious 3 year fellowship 
funded by the Ministry of Science of Chile (via ANID; ex-Conicyt), and covers 
postdoctoral salary, a generous travel allowance, and operational expenses.

The deadline  for proposals is August 19, 2021. Approved postdoc positions 
start on 15 April 2022. Applicants are expected to write their own research 
proposal, with help from their guide professor, and sponsorship from a host 
institute in Chile. Applications are open to people of all nationalities who 
obtained, or will obtain, a Ph.D. in the period 1 January 2018 to 26 August 
2021. Details and rules of the competition (in spanish) can be seen here:
