POSTDOCTORAL OPPORTUNITY
There will be a postdoctoral opening in gravitation physics at the Hebrew
University for the academic year 2013-2014 (preferred starting date of
Oct. 1, 2013, but earlier starting dates will be considered) with an
optional second year. This is intended only for a person who obtained the
Ph. D on or after Oct. 1, 2008.
For the general research interests in our gravity-astrophysics-cosmology
group, please refer to http://www.phys.huji.ac.il/astro My own
research is nowadays concerned mostly with entropy and information bounds,
ideas for probing quantum gravity in the lab, and the quasi normal modes
of black holes in connection with black hole quantization.
The postdoctoral fellowships in question are the Lady Davis Fellowships or
equivalent. No need to fill out Lady Davis forms, but you may want to
look at their Web page http://ldft.huji.ac.il/upload/info/infoHU.html
for information on what the fellowships are worth (the sums there need
some updating). I supplement that basic fellowship stipend by 20%, and
also pay for some travel to conferences while the fellow is here. These
fellowships are tax free in Israel.
I prefer the application materials [CV, list of publications, statement of
past and planned research (the last restricted to 2 pages) and 3 letters
of recommendation] to arrive by e-mail. My deadline this year is Dec. 10.
