[ASA] Research Fellow in Statistical Inference for Astronomical Data

[John O'Byrne]

    Research Fellow in Statistical Inference for Astronomical Data
    ==============================================================

We seek to fill a 2.5 year post-doctoral fellowship dedicated to extensions
and applications of the Minimum Message Length (MML) technique to the analysis
of spectroscopic data from recent large surveys, such as GALAH. The position
is based jointly within the Monash Centre for Astrophysics (MoCA, in the School
of Physics and Astronomy) and the Faculty of Information Technology (FIT).

The successful applicant will develop and extend the MML method as needed,
applying it to spectroscopic data from the GALAH project, with an aim to
understanding nucleosynthesis in stars as well as the formation and evolution
of our Galaxy ("galactic archaeology").

The position is based at the main (Clayton) campus of Monash University in
Melbourne. The immediate supervisors will be Professor John Lattanzio (MoCA),
Associate Professor David Dowe (FIT) and Dr Aldeida Aleti (FIT). Salary will
be in the range $86,209 - $92,541 (which includes a 9.5% employer contribution
to superannuation).

Applications due by 1 August 2016

"I was put on half rations in that prison, and men took beatings to
bring me food. The eyes of those men said it was worth the beating
to provide me with food. This is my species, the beauty and the
wonder of what it is to be a human being."   Gregory David Roberts
