Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship for independent research on the origin and evolution of stars, planets, and life. We are seeking theorists and observers working in the fields of star and planet formation, extrasolar planet detection and characterization, planetary astronomy, and the physical and chemical evolution of prebiotic compounds.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field and a promising record of research and publication. A C.V., list of publications, brief statement of research plans, and three letters of recommendation, sent directly to us by those familiar with your work, should be submitted to the above address by 1 December 2011. Fellowships may be renewed for up to three years. Women and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply. AAE/EOE. CLOSED
