Dear Colleagues,

I am hoping you can help spread this announcement those that may be 
interested to come to MPA.  This search primarily aims at the 
postdoctoral level (including aspiring group leaders and developers).

We seek people to join the new stellar department, led by Selma de 
Mink, at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA) to study 
questions related to the fascinating Lives, Deaths, and Afterlives of 
(binary) Stars. We welcome applications from anyone who can broadly fit 
in this theme, either from the theory and computational side and/or from 
the observational and data-oriented side.

Examples of expertise we are interested in include Stellar and 
Binary Evolution, Mass Transfer, Common Envelope Evolution, Mergers, 
Triple and Multiple Systems, Stellar remnants (White Dwarfs, Neutron 
Stars, Black Holes), Gravitational Wave Astrophysics, Stellar 
Transients, Progenitors of Supernovae and Gravitational Waves, Star 
formation, Stellar structure, Stellar Atmospheres, Stellar winds, 
Asteroseismology, Internal mixing, Stellar Hydrodynamics, Stellar 
feedback, Nucleosynthesis, Stellar Populations, Stars at high 
redshift... If your area of expertise is not mentioned here but you 
believe that this would be a stimulating department for you, please feel 
encouraged to apply and explain in your cover letter how you would fit in.

Positions will be available at different levels in the following years. 
The present call is primarily intended for fixed-term post-doctoral 
positions, either at the junior level (recent or expected PhD graduates) 
or senior (some years of post-doctoral experience). Possibilities to 
(co)-supervise students can be discussed. There will also be several 
possibilities to apply for independent money through various schemes 
(e.g. Humboldt, Marie Curie, DFG,..). For suitable candidates, we may 
also consider hiring in science support positions (e.g. developers). 
Feel free to state your preferences in your cover letter.

We encourage applicants from all backgrounds. We are 
specifically interested in people who can contribute to the 
collaborative and supportive scientific environment in the institute. 
Candidates are requested to provide (1) a cover letter briefly stating 
their expertise and why they believe MPA would be a good fit (2) 
a research statement explaining their interests and experience (3) a 
publication list highlighting 1-3 most relevant publications, (4) a CV. 
Interested people are invited to apply electronically via:

The MPA is located 10 km north of the city of Munich and is well 
connected to central Munich by subway. The institute is part of one of 
the largest centers of astrophysical research in the world, with the Max 
Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE) and the headquarters 
of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) next door. The MPA has 14 
long-term staff who work with about 40 post-doctoral researchers and 
a somewhat larger number of PhD students. The Institute runs a 
vigorous visitor program and is housed in an attractive, especially 
designed building with excellent library and computer facilities. It 
also has privileged access to supercomputer facilities at the 
neighboring Supercomputer Centre of the Max Planck Society. Further
