The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) expects to award this year one or more ETH Zwicky Prize Fellowships in Astrophysics.
The Fellowships will be awarded to outstanding researchers in any area of astrophysics who have usually received their PhD within the last four years. The Fellowships are normally awarded for 2+1 years, and can be extended to up to five years in exceptional circumstances. The Zwicky Fellows are expected to carry out independent research and to contribute to the intellectual life of the department.
Fellows have access to all ESO/ESA observational facilities, including the four 8m-telescopes of the VLT.
Zwicky Fellows have a research fund of CHF 15'000 (about USD 12'000) per year. The ETH Astrophysics group has guaranteed access to a network of workstations and a 576-CPU fast-connection Beowulf cluster.
The salary will be approximately CHF 78'000-95'000 (about USD 60'000-73'000) depending on experience.
Applications are invited from all nationalities and should consist of a CV, publication list, and brief descriptions of past and proposed research and should not exceed 10 pages in total length. These should be sent either by regular mail or electronically in uncompressed PDF format. The deadline for application is December 1, 2006. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent by regular mail by the same deadline.
Zwicky applicants who wish to be considered also for the zCOSMOS postdoctoral positions at the ETH need only send a short message to that effect. For more information on the current research interests of the ETH Extragalactic Astrophysics and Observational Cosmology group, please see http://www.exp-astro.phys.ethz.ch.
The Zwicky competition is formally advertised in the October and November AAS Job register.

The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) expects to appoint a number of postdoctoral researchers to work in collaboration with either Professor Simon Lilly or Professor Marcella Carollo on the zCOSMOS and COSMOS projects.
The primary goals of COSMOS/zCOSMOS are to characterise the environments of galaxies from the immediate group scale up to the 100 Mpc scale of the cosmic web, and thus to understand the interplay between the evolution of galaxies and AGN and their cosmic environments. The successful applicants will be expected to contribute to the processing of the spectroscopic and other data, and to develop the scientific exploitation of this unique data set.
The salary will be approximately CHF 78'000-90'000 (about USD 60'000-70'000) depending on experience. Initial appointments will be for two years with the possibility of extensions for up to a maximum of 6 years. Starting dates between January 1 and October 1 2007 are preferred.
Switzerland has full access to their observational facilities, including the four 8-m telescopes of the VLT. The ETH extragalactic astrophysics groups have state of the art computational facilities including guaranteed access to a 576-processor Beowulf cluster.
Applications are invited from all nationalities. Applications should consist of a CV, publication list, and a brief description of research interests and should not exceed 10 pages in total length. Applications should be sent electronically in uncompressed PDF format to malhotra@phys.ethz.ch.
The deadline for applications is December 1, 2006. Applicants should also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent by the same deadline, either electronically or by mail. Applicants for the ETH Zwicky Prize Fellowships who wish to be considered also for these other positions need only send a short message to that effect.
