In the coming year there will be opportunities for new postdoctoral fellowships in astrophysics, cosmology, and gravitation at the University of Alberta. We presently have six professors (Valeri Frolov, Craig Heinke, Natasha Ivanova, Sharon Morsink, Don Page, and Dmitri Pogosyan) and many postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, making it one of the largest in this combination of research areas in the world. For more information, see our website at http://www.phys.ualberta.ca/research/astro/.
Fellowship opportunities include CITA National Fellowships for people who apply by Nov. 1, 2009, Killam Fellowships for those who apply by Nov. 15, and PIMS and other fellowships with a Dec. 1, 2009, deadline for your materials to reach us.
