PHD AND POSTDOC OPPORTUNITIES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GENEVA ON EXOPLANETS
DE: Xavier Dumusque <Xavier.Dumusque en unige.ch>
À: "exoplanets en univ-grenoble-alpes.fr"
<exoplanets en univ-grenoble-alpes.fr>
APPLICATIONS ARE INVITED FOR A PHD AND A
2(+1)-YEAR POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN THE EXOPLANET GROUP
AT THE DEPARTMENT OF ASTRONOMY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GENEVA, TO
START FALL 2020.
CANDIDATES FROM UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN ASTRONOMY ARE STRONGLY
ENCOURAGED TO APPLY. ALL MATERIALS SHOULD BE RECEIVED BY
FEBRUARY THE 20TH FOR FULL CONSIDERATION.
The successful applicants will work as members of the SCORE
research team led by Prof. Xavier Dumusque, and will join the
vibrant exoplanet group at the department of astronomy, composed
of about 50 PhD students and scientists, specialised in
radial-velocity measurements, transit
photometry, exoplanet atmosphere characterization, direct imaging as well
as instrumentation.
The exoplanet group is also part of the Switzerland-wide network
PlanetS (http://nccr-planets.ch/), specialised in all different fields
of planetary sciences with a large focus on exoplanets.
_OVERVIEW_
The ERC-funded SCORE project (Signal Correction to Reveal other Earths)
aims at probing the main limitations to the detection of
Earth-like planets using extreme precision radial-velocity
measurements. The SCORE project relies on the unprecedented data
obtained by two solar telescopes, connected to the HARPS and
HARPS-N spectrographs, which allow to obtain sub-meter-per-second
radial-velocity measurements of the Sun every possible day.
Analysing such data is crucial to understand and find
correction techniques
to mitigate the impact of the different astrophysical
and instrumental signals perturbing radial-velocity measurements and
preventing the
detection of other Earths. Any new technique developed in this
framework will then be tested on the extensive RV data sets available in
Geneva, coming from instruments like CORALIE, HARPS,
HARPS-N, ESPRESSO and NIRPS.
_POSTDOC PROJECT: TIME-SERIES ANALYSIS OF SOLAR SPECTRA
AND RADIAL-VELOCITIES (MORE
INFO: HTTPS://JOBREGISTER.AAS.ORG/AD/367E4021)_
With more than 200’000 solar spectra from HARPS and HARPS-N, it
becomes possible to use robust statistical and machine learning
techniques to extract and separate the complex stellar signal
observed in radial-velocity measurements from tiny planetary signals.
The goal of the selected candidate will be to develop
techniques based on neural networks, PCA, ICA or any other statistical or
relevant
machine learning techniques to analyse time-series of spectra
and model stellar signals. The Postdoc will also investigate the use of
Gaussian Processes, autoregressive (integrated) moving average
or any other relevant modelling techniques to mitigate the correlated
noise induced by stellar activity.
Candidates will be evaluated on 1) experience with statistical and
machine learning algorithms, 2) experience with time-series analysis,
3) experience with high-resolution spectroscopy and 4) commitment to
fostering an inclusive research environment.
The duration of the appointment is initially for two years, with a
possible prolongation for a third year depending on performance and
available funding. Interested candidates should submit via email
to xavier.dumusque en unige.ch, in a single PDF, the following material:
1) a cover letter that summarises the candidate's experience in the
different evaluation criteria listed above, as well as the candidate’s
motivation to pursue a Postdoc (no more than two pages)
2) a CV with publications
3) three recommendation letters to be sent directly
to xavier.dumusque en unige.ch.
_PHD PROJECT: SOLAR RADIAL-VELOCITIES IN THE NEAR-INFRARED WITH
NIRPS__ (MORE INFO: __HTTPS://JOBREGISTER.AAS.ORG/AD/A7173E66__)_
Radial-velocities in the near-infrared are extremely interesting
to search for the tiny signature of Earth-like planets as stellar activity
signals
are supposed to be smaller than in the visible. However,
reaching the meter-per-second precision in the near-infrared is an
extremely
challenging task, due to tellurics absorption, low
radial-velocity content, and systematics induced by infrared CCDs. By the
end of 2020,
the NIRPS spectrograph will be installed in La Silla and the
HELIOS solar telescope will feed sunlight in the instrument every possible
day,
therefore delivering unprecedent precise radial-velocity
measurements in the near-infrared.
The selected PhD candidate is planned to work on 1) studying the impact of
tellurics on radial-velocity measurements and developing
optimal correction techniques, 2) investigating the use of
chromaticity to mitigate stellar activity signals and 3) investigating the
use of
Zeeman broadening to correct for stellar activity signals.
The candidate will also have the opportunity to investigate other aspects
of
near-infrared spectroscopy and to be involved in the NIRPS team.
Candidates will be evaluated on 1) experience with telluric contamination
in radial-velocity measurements, 2) experience with high-resolution
spectroscopy and 3) commitment to fostering an inclusive
research environment.
The duration of the appointment is for four years. Interested
candidates should submit via email to xavier.dumusque en unige.ch, in a
single PDF, the following material:
1) a cover letter that summarises the candidate's experience in
the different evaluation criteria listed above, as well as the
candidate’s motivation to pursue a PhD (no more than two pages)
2) a CV with publications
3) the name with position and email address of three persons of reference
that could be contacted.

================================================================
We invite Earth and Space Science graduate students and early
career researchers that are interested in working with data coming from
planetary missions, to send an application to the COSPAR Capacity Building
Workshop "Data Analysis for Planetary Sciences" 2020 (CBW-DAPS 2020),
through the web site:
http://cospar.das.uchile.cl[2]
The goal of the workshop is to develop interesting scientific projects
guided by experts of missions as New Horizons, Juno, Mars Reconnaissance
Orbiter, ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, Hayabusa 2, MAVEN and representatives
of Nasa's Planetary Data System, Jaxa's Science Data Archive and ESA's
Planetary Science Archive.
The workshop will take place between 20-31 July 2020 in the facilities of
the Universidad Católica del Norte, located in Antofagasta, Chile, in the
core of the Atacama Desert.
Registration fee and lodging expenses will be fully covered by the
organization. Travel support is available for regional participants.
Only applications received through the online form by March 31st will be
considered.
