The China-Chile Joint Center for Astronomy (CCJCA) is a new initiative by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and CONICYT of Chile to promote mutual collaborations between the two countries. To provide support for young astronomers in their early stages of research career, a China-CONICYT Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunity will be initiated in 2014. Applications for a temporary implementation of this Fellowship in 2013 are now being solicited by CCJCA with the expectation to start the first round of selection before the 2014 launch. Qualified candidates must have their Ph.D. degree on or before the start of their fellowship, which can be anytime between now and March 2014. All areas of research in astronomy and astrophysics will be considered, but preferential considerations will be given to applicants with proposed research activities involving collaborations between the Chinese and Chilean astronomy communities. Alternatively, we encourage potential applicants to check out some of the on-going research programs that are listed [in this page] and contact the prospective sponsors accordingly. Continue reading

China-Chile Joint Center for Astronomy (CCJCA) is one of the overseas projects initialed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop cooperation in science and technology with other countries. In February 2013, CCJCA was inaugurated in National Astronomical Observatory. The center serves to be a platform for collaboration in astronomical research and related technology with South America countries. The center will establish international scientific research teams and joint research programs engaging in astronomical science and technology frontiers. CCJCA headquarter is expected to start its formal operation in this summer in a temporary office in Santiago de Chile.
In order to promote the communication and collaboration between astronomy communities of Chile and Chile, the 3rd China-Chile workshop will be held in Vina del Mar on Sep. 9 – 11, 2013.
