Applications are now being accepted for a Postdoctoral Associate, to work on data analysis and physical interpretation of a diverse set of multiwavelength observations of galaxies with strong line emission. The work will be done at NASA's Goddard Space Flight
Center in Greenbelt, MD and the position is funded through the Catholic University of America (CUA) and the Center for Research and Exploration in Space Sciences & Technology II (<a href="https://cresst2.umd.edu/">CRESST II</a>).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoBodyText" style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:5.0pt;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:5.0pt;margin-bottom:.0001pt">
The work involves analysis and scientific interpretation of observations from <i>
HST</i>, <i>Chandra</i>, <i>SOFIA</i>, and ground-based optical and radio observations of galaxies with strong line emission, ranging from Green Pea galaxies at low redshifts to Lyman alpha galaxies in the epoch of reionization. This is initially a one-year
appointment, with the possibility of extension for up to two more years depending on performance and funding availability.<o:p></o:p></p>

Applicants should have completed all requirements for a Ph.D. in astronomy, astrophysics, or a related discipline prior to starting the position. Candidates with a wide range of background in astronomy will be considered. Expertise in data analysis for the
data sets mentioned above is valuable, and a proven track record of refereed publications is desirable.<o:p></o:p></p>
