    <![CDATA[
The Cluster of Excellence 'Origin and Structure of the Universe' is a joint research institution at the Technical University Munich funded by the Excellence Initiative of the Federal Government of Germany. It is a co-operation by the physics departments of the Technical University Munich and the Ludwig-Maximilians University, four Max-Planck Institutes (MPA, MPE, MPP, IPP) and ESO. The main goal of the Cluster is to solve fundamental questions of astrophysics and cosmology.

One of the most prominent goals of the Cluster is to foster interdisciplinary work between particle physics and astrophysics. For our *FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM* we are looking for excellent young scientists on the postdoc level who will pursue their individual research activities and are interested in a strong collaboration with existing Cluster research groups. Fellows benefit from an ideal scientific infrastructure at the Campus Garching and the attractions of the Munich area. The duration for *contract is 2 years*. Fellows receive their *own budget* for running costs.

The advancement of women in the science is an integral part of the cluster and the university's policy. Women are therefore especially encouraged to apply. Persons with disabilities will be given preference to other applicants with equal qualifications.

Applicants should prepare a covering letter and the following documents as PDF files: a CV, a publication list, certificates (diploma, PhD), past research activities and a research plan. These files can be uploaded in the job section on the Cluster website http://www.universe-cluster.de.
Further, applicants are asked to arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent by e-mail to andreas.mueller@universe-cluster.de. The closing date for receipt of applications is *30 Nov 2009*.
