University of Geneva, Depts. of Astronomy and of Computer
Science,Postdoctoral research position in radio/sub-mm astronomy and
signal/data processing
The University of Geneva, Switzerland, announces a postdoctoral
position on radio and sub-mm astronomy and signal/data processing of
interferometric data in the framework of the Swiss-wide collaborative
AstroSignals project (https://astrosignals.ch/).
AstroSignals is a new interdisciplinary initiative to take advantages
of advanced signal processing, data science and high performance
computing techniques for new generation large radio-interferometry
facilities as the SKA, and for the exploitation of existing
interferometers (sub-mm and radio).
The successful candidate will work on available interferometric
observations and simulated data to study star-formation and the ISM of
distant galaxies. The post-doc will test and exploit different imaging
and 3D-data analysis methods, in close collaboration with signal
processing and machine learning experts. The candidate will also be
encouraged to develop an independent research programme.
The candidate will primarily work with the groups of Profs. Daniel
Schaerer and Slava Voloshynovskiy, other AstroSignals teams, and with
international collaborations.
The Geneva Observatory and the associated Laboratory of Astrophysics
of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) in
Sauverny carry out observational, interpretative and theoretical
research in the fields of extra-solar planets, stellar physics, high
energy astrophysics, galaxy evolution, and observational cosmology.
The Stochastic Information Processing (SIP) group, headed by Slava
Voloshynovskiy, focuses on the intersection of image processing,
machine learning and information theory for the development of new
imaging and data analysis techniques.
The appointment will be for up to three years starting in sept-oct
2021. Qualified candidates are encouraged to send their application
including a CV and publication list, description of research
experience and interests, and contact information of three references
in a single pdf file via email to the above address. Applications
received by 12 February, 2021 will receive consideration. Informal
enquiries with Daniel Schaerer ([log in to unmask]) are welcome.
