Open Positions

Postdoctoral Associate

The Star and Planet Formation group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University seeks to hire one or more postdoctoral researchers. Successful candidates will work in the group of Prof. Megan Reiter. Ongoing research activities include infrared and optical surveys of protostellar jets, young stellar objects, and planet-forming disks in high-mass star-forming regions. Theoretically/numerically oriented researchers and candidates with previous experience in integral field-unit spectroscopy and millimeter interferometry are encouraged to apply.
