Postdoctoral Positions in Time-Domain Astronomy

The department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Oregon invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar to work with Prof. Yvette Cendes in the field of time-domain astrophysics.  This includes electromagnetic studies of tidal disruption events (TDEs), supernovae, magnetic activity in exoplanets, and machine learning classification. The candidate will lead and participate in observations and data analysis of these sources in all areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, with the opportunity to pursue independent ideas within these broad themes.  Previous experience preferred in radio data analysis, although strong previous experience optical/IR spectroscopy, space-based imaging analysis (optical/X-rays), and other time-domain science will also be considered.  Applications should include information on how the applicant's research interests fit into ongoing research in the Cendes group.

A Ph.D. in astronomy, physics, or equivalent, by the date of appointment is required.  Letters of recommendation are not required at this stage, and may only be requested for short-listed candidates. For any inquiries about these positions, please contact Dr. Yvette Cendes ([email protected]).
