Job Description

The successful candidate will work with Assistant Professor Marc Hon to develop and apply modern machine learning methods for the analysis of large-scale astronomical datasets, emphasizing time-domain astronomy. The research direction can flexibly utilize archival data from major space-based and ground-based observatories, including NASA's Kepler, TESS, and JWST missions, ESA's Gaia mission, and large-scale spectroscopic surveys such as LAMOST. Scientific research directions include—but are not limited to— stellar variability, exoplanets, transient events, and new astrophysical phenomena.

The main responsibilities of the position include:

  • Conducting original research using large-scale datasets from space-based missions and ground-based surveys.

  • Developing and applying machine learning and statistical approaches specifically tailored to the analysis of complex astronomical data, with emphasis on time series and multimodal data integration.

  • Engaging in active collaboration with team members and, where appropriate, contributing to mentoring students or junior researchers involved in related projects.

Qualifications


• Qualifications/ Discipline: PhD in Physics, Data Science, Computer Science, Astronomy, Astrophysics, or a related quantitative discipline.


• Skills:

  • Strong analytical and computational skills in data science, statistical analysis, or machine learning.

  • Proficiency with Python and data analysis frameworks.

  • Familiarity with large, complex datasets and modern computational techniques.

  • Good written and oral scientific communication skills.


• Experience:

  • Demonstrated experience conducting independent research involving the analysis of large datasets.

  • Familiarity with modern machine learning methodologies is strongly desirable.

  • A publication record demonstrating relevant skills in astronomy, astrophysics, physics, computer science, or related fields
