Phd Position in Exoplanets Direct Imaging

vor 4 Monaten


Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Universität Bern Vollzeit

**PhD Position in exoplanets direct imaging instrumentation**:
A 4-year PhD position is currently available in the newly founded Laboratory of Exoplanets Imaging and Adaptive optics (LEIA) of the University of Bern (Space Research and Planetary Sciences Division), starting no later than April 1st, 2023.

She/he will be fully integrated within the vibrant Bernese space and planetary sciences academic environment, and as full member of the Swiss research network on exoplanets (NCCR PlanetS, nccr-planets.ch).

Applications are invited for one research assistant position (PhD student) at the University of Berm (Space Research and Planetary Sciences Division) to work under the supervision of Prof. Jonas Kühn on novel instrumentation techniques for direct imaging of exoplanets. The successful applicant is expected to develop new exoplanet imaging techniques based on time-domain “Coherent Differential Imaging” (CDI), using pixelated “Spatial Light Modulators” (SLMs) display panels. The latter will be used to modulate the image-plane wavefront over time, hence isolating bona-fide incoherent off-axis astrophysical sources of interest (planetary companions, circumstellar disk structures) from unwanted coherent stellar residuals.

This position is part of the “RACE-GO” project, which aims at investigating how SLMs could be used in-tandem with ultra-sensitive fast near-infrared cameras to implement CDI exoplanet imaging techniques at speed commensurate with the atmospheric coherence time (10 ms or less). 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.

Tasks

In particular, the student will develop signal processing algorithms and data reduction routines for time-domain coherent differential imaging, using zonal modulation (phase-shifting) and Fourier post-processing to extract the DC (incoherent) and AC (coherent) components of a time-series of high-contrast images. The student will be able to validate his work not only through simulations and laboratory experiments, but also on-sky on real astrophysical targets, enabling her/him to set up his own observation program towards the end of the position, if conditions allow.

**Requirements**:
A MSc (or equivalent) degree in Physics, Astrophysics or Engineering. Prior experience in astronomical instrumentation, signal processing, Python programming and/or benchtop optics is a plus.

We offer

Starting at 47,000 CHF/year gross salary, commensurate with experience and with 5-week paid holidays per year, according to rules of the University of Bern and Canton of Bern. Childcare allowance is available.

Application
- A motivation letter including contact details, information on skills and previous experience, and the names of 2 references/referees (max. 2 pages).
- Curriculum vitae (max. 2 pages), including a list of publications (if applicable).
- Academic transcripts of master and/or bachelor grades.

Two letters of recommendation should be sent directly to Prof. Kühn by the referees themselves, and it is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the letters are sent on due date.
Deadline to apply: January 15, 2023, for full consideration, then until the position is filled.
