Scholarship Description: The European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere awards several postdoctoral fellowships each year. The goal of these fellowships is to offer young outstanding scientists opportunities and facilities to enhance their research programmes in close contact with the activities and staff at one of the world’s foremost observatories. In Garching, the fellowships start with an initial contract of one year followed by a two-year extension (3 years total). The ESO Headquarters in Garching near Munich, Germany, are situated in one of the most active research areas in Europe and have among the highest concentrations of astronomers. ESO offices are adjacent to the Max-Planck- Institutes for Astrophysics and for Extraterrestrial Physics and only a few kilometres away from the Observatory of the Ludwig-Maximilian University. Additionally, ESO participates in the newly formed Excellence Cluster on Astrophysics on the Garching Campus, which brings together nearly 200 scientists to explore the origin and structure of the Universe. Consequently, ESO fellows in Garching have many opportunities to interact and collaborate with astronomers at neighbouring institutes.

Fellowships Programs Application Deadline: 15 October 2011
