Post-doctoral Position in Exoplanets Direct Imaging
vor 1 Woche
A 2-year (1+1) Postdoc position is currently available in the newly founded Laboratory of Exoplanets Imaging and Adaptive optics (LEIA) of the University of Bern (Department of Space and Planetary Sciences), starting on or after September 1st, 2024.
Applications are invited for one research assistant position (Postdoctoral fellow) at the University of Bern (Dept. of Space and Planetary Sciences) to work under the supervision of Prof. Jonas Kühn on novel instrumentation techniques for direct imaging of exoplanets.The successful applicant is expected to lead the implementation of new exoplanet imaging techniques using pixelated "Spatial Light Modulators" (SLMs) display panels.
The latter can be used as "programmable focal-plane phase mask coronagraphs", to mask the unwanted light from the host star, in order to reveal faint off-axis astrophysical sources of interest (exoplanets, circumstellar disks).
This position is part of the ERC Consolidator "RACE-GO" project (Rapid Adaptive Coronagraphy of Exoplanets from a Ground-based Observatory), which aims at investigating how SLMs could be used as "active coronagraphs" to adapt to various observing conditions, target types (binary stars, giant stars) or to implement coherent differential imaging (CDI) techniques at high-speed.
The RACE-GO project team will be allocated 60 Guaranteed Time Observing (GTO) nights spread over 2 years on the new Turkish 4-m DAG Telescope, to implement, validate and scientifically exploit the approach on-sky, and the applicant is expected to technically prepare and lead the initial phase of the observing campaign.
Requirements:
A PhD degree in Physics, Astrophysics or Engineering (with specialization in astronomical instrumentation or adaptive optics), obtained within the last 2 years.
Prior experience in astronomical instrumentation, observational astronomy, Python programming and/or benchtop optics is a plus.We offer
This is initially a 1-year position, with a 2nd year extension available upon mutual agreement.
The salary starts at 90'000.
CHF/year gross salary, commensurate with experience and with 5-week paid holidays per year, according to rules of the University and Canton of Bern.
