====== MaTYSSE postdoctoral positions ======

Postdoctoral positions related to MaTYSSE are advertised here.  

===== 2015 Feb 17: MaTYSSE postdoc on star / planet formation =====

Applications are invited for a 2yr postdoctoral position (renewable for one year) in observational stellar astrophysics at [[http://www.irap.omp.eu|IRAP]] / [[http://www.obs-mip.fr|OMP]] / [[http://www.univ-toulouse.fr|UFTMiP]].  The successful candidate will work with Drs G Hussain (ESO, Chaire d’Attractivité at UFTMiP) and JF Donati ([[http://www.cnrs.fr|CNRS]] / IRAP / OMP / UFTMiP) on spectropolarimetric studies of T Tauri stars within the framework of [[start:|MaTYSSE]] (Magnetic Topologies of Young Stars and the Survival of massive close-in Exoplanets), a Large Programme  bringing together experts in star formation to understand the role of magnetic fields in the early evolution of low-mass stars.

The work will focus on studying the properties of large-scale magnetic topologies of a sample of weak-line and classical T Tauri stars from sets of phase-resolved spectropolarimetric data collected within the MaTYSSE Large Program with the [[http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu|3.6m CFHT]], [[http://www.tbl.omp.eu|2m TBL]] and [[http://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/lasilla/36/|3.6m ESO]] telescopes, using the indirect imaging technique of Zeeman-Doppler Imaging. Another project goal will be to look for the potential presence of massive close-in exoplanets orbiting around the [[start:|MaTYSSE]] targets.  This work will also serve as science preparation for [[http://spirou.irap.omp.eu|SPIRou]], the new generation nIR velocimeter/spectropolarimeter to be implemented at CFHT in 2017, and currently in construction at IRAP / OMP / UFTMiP.  

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher specialized in observational stellar astrophysics.  Prior experience in the following areas is strongly preferred: spectropolarimetry, stellar surface imaging, stellar magnetic fields and velocimetry. Located in Toulouse, France, IRAP / OMP / UFTMiP provides a productive research environment, with 250+ persons working in most domains of astrophysics, from theoretical research to instrumentation.

Applicants should send their complete CV with full publication list, along with their long-term research project, to <jean-francois.donati@irap.omp.eu> and <ghussain@eso.org> by 2015 June 1st.
