24.04.2024 Chaire de professeur junior – Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur : Gravitational waves and multi-messenger astronomy Chaire de professeur junior position at the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur (Nice, France) in Gravitational waves and multi-messenger astronomy. The deadline for applications is May 21st 2024. After a five year tenure track period there will be an evaluation. If successfully evaluated, the person will become an Astronome with the CNAP. A CNAP astronomer is expected to spend 1/3 of their time teaching, 1/3 on research, and 1/3 dedicated to helping an experiment that is important for French science (Services nationaux d’observation – SNO). This position will be related to the SNO…
