Job description
Offer DescriptionThe Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS (CTP PAS) invites applicants for a postdoctoral position in cosmology within the project SONATA BIS 10 – PACIS: Precision and Accuracy for Cosmological Imaging Surveys (project registration No. 2020/38/E/ST9/00395), led by Prof. Maciej Bilicki, funded by the Polish National Science Center (NSC).The successful applicant will contribute to the research program of the Computational Cosmology Group at CTP PAS, and in particular to designing and applying optimized catalogs of galaxies for cosmological studies with deep wide-field imaging surveys, such as KiDS and LSST. The PACIS project is conducted in collaboration with partners from the KiDS, 4MOST WAVES & 4HS, and LSST DESC teams, and the postdoctoral researcher will have the possibility to join these international consortia. Members of CCG are also taking part in other major experiments such as LOFAR, EMU or LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA, so possibilities exist to get involved in these as well.Where to apply E-mail[email protected]RequirementsResearch Field Astronomy » Astrophysics Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Astronomy » Cosmology Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Physics » Other Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Physics » Computational physics Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Astronomy » Other Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Astronomy Education Level PhD or equivalentResearch Field Physics Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsWe seek a candidate with a Ph.D. degree (awarded no earlier than in 2017*) in astronomy, physics or computational sciences, who has experience in handling astronomical data using machine learning or other computational techniques.
