Lund Observatory announces two openings for postdoctoral positions, in stellar populations and exoplanet research, respectively. Postdoc 1 - Gaia-ESO Survey of the Milky Way The stellar population group at the Department of astronomy and theoretical physics is engaged in the 300 night Gaia-ESO Survey that will run on the Very Large Telescope in Chile. The project is called Gaia-ESO Survey. The survey will explore all the components of the Milky Way using high resolution spectroscopy and abundance analysis of several hundred thousand stars. The survey is not only a very significant investment in observing time but also in manpower. We are looking for a postdoctral fellow who can participate in the abundance analysis within the survey.
