From gkacprzak at swin.edu.au Mon Dec 10 19:54:29 2018 From: gkacprzak at swin.edu.au (Glenn Kacprzak) Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2018 08:54:29 +0000 Subject: [ASA] Two five year Laureate postdoctoral positions at Swinburne Message-ID: Dear All, We have two five year postdoctoral positions available at the Centre for Astrophysics & Supercomputing associated with Prof. Karl Glazebrook?s Laureate Fellowship. This is a large scale project whose goal is to place Australia in a forefront position to understand the formation of the first objects in the Universe with JWST. You will be joining a diverse team of 10 people working towards these goals and engaging extensively with HST data, and ground based data from 6-10m telescopes. Applications close 30th Jan 2019 for an intended start date on Aug 2019. Laureate Data Scientist As our Laureate Data Scientist, you will support our team with advanced machine learning and data analysis techniques, with a particular emphasis on the application of modern neural network architectures. Your work will enable the team to develop machine learning pipelines for automated object discovery in deep multi-band images, automated classification and redshift measurement and automated classification of exotic objects. The position can be at Level A or B depending on prior experience.

The University has been recognised as a Workplace Employer of Choice for gender equality for the seventh year. Laureate Postdoctoral Research Associate in Galaxy Spectral Modeling We are looking for a qualified candidate to develop advanced spectral modelling tools for the interpretation of spectra of the first galaxies, with an emphasis on advanced stellar population modelling and the synthesis of this with codes for modelling nebulae emission, dust emission/absorption, and other sources of non-stellar emission. The team will develop a pipeline and community tools for processing and interpreting the spectra of thousands of galaxies that JWST will target. The position can be at Level B or C depending on prior experience.
