Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Maryland, College Park. The successful candidate will work with Professor Eliza Kempton on theoretical radiative transfer calculations for exoplanet atmospheres. Applicants should have previous experience in modeling (exo)planetary atmospheres, although a variety of backgrounds may be relevant. The position is for a period of up to three years, starting in fall 2018, contingent on positive yearly progress evaluations. A Ph.D. in Physics, Astronomy, or a related field is required prior to the start date. A competitive salary and funds for research and travel will be provided.

The University of Maryland hosts a vibrant astrophysics research community and is also located within short driving distance to exoplanet researchers at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), and Carnegie Department of Terrestrial Magnetism (DTM). The successful candidate will also be a member of the Center for Theory and computation (CTC) at the University of Maryland.

All materials should be received by December 15 for full consideration.
