Postdoctoral Scholar in Time-Domain Astrophysics

The department of Physics 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, gravitational wave sources, 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, optical/IR spectroscopy, space-based imaging analysis (optical/X-rays), and other time-domain science.  Ph.D. in astronomy, physics, or equivalent, by the date of appointment is preferred.
