The VMC survey team includes several international members who will be among the first scientists to exploit the survey data. Our expertise covers a broad range of astrophysical topics from stellar astronomy to galactic dynamics and each member has a well-established position in his/her field of research. The team will be in place until about a year after the completion of the survey and it has already expanded seeking postdocs and/or students to work in association with the VMC survey as follows. |
