NSF NOIRLab is the preeminent US national center for ground-based optical-infrared astronomy, providing services across a range of programs: Gemini, Rubin, CTIO, KPNO, and CSDC; with facilities in three locations: Arizona, Chile and Hawai’i. NOIRLab’s mission is to enable breakthrough astrophysical discoveries by developing and operating state-of-the-art ground-based observatories and providing data products and services for a diverse and inclusive community.
We invite applications for the NOIRLab Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. We encourage applications from early career scientists with interests in forefront optical-infrared astronomy research, including but not limited to, innovative observational techniques, instrumentation, large data sets and data systems, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in astronomy, solar system science, and computation and theory.
Fellows will develop an independent research program of their choosing. Applicants are encouraged to propose research programs that connect with NOIRLab facilities and programs. We particularly welcome projects that connect with Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time early science.
The three-year position can be taken at any of the three NOIRLab sites. Please submit your application by December 23, 2024.
