Postdoctoral Researcher in Machine Learning for Galaxy Formation
hace 5 días
About the Job
The IAC (Tenerife) announces a postdoctoral contract to work on the project linked to the line of research "Machine and Deep Learning in Astrophysics: structural evolution of galaxies with EUCLID and JWST." The contract is funded by the project "B uilding a physic A l under S tanding of g A laxy evo L ution with data-driven asTronomy (BASALT)" (PID2021-126838NB-I00), led by Dr. Huertas-Company.
Tasks
The successful candidate will join the group of M. Huertas-Company working on galaxy formation and machine learning. The candidate will have the opportunity to work with JWST and Euclid observations as well as with cosmological simulations and is expected to develop and/or use novel probabilistic deep learning inference techniques to address a variety of galaxy formation related problems. Our group is particularly interested in constraining star-formation, merger histories and structural transformations of galaxies with large datasets.
Requirements
The candidates must have an excellent research record, commensurate with the duration of their research career. They must be in possession of a Ph.D. degree in Astrophysics or Physics by the application deadline. Candidates who have not received their doctorate before the deadline will not be admitted to the selection process. Applicants who prepared their thesis at the IAC have to present accreditations of complementary training at other research centers (this period should be either 1 continuous year or 18 accumulated months) by the application deadline.
Selection Process
The selection process consists of two phases: merit assessment and interview. The Selection Panel will verify and rate the merits documented by the applicants. The maximum score that can be awarded in this phase is 80 points, calculated as the sum of the scores obtained in each of the following two sections.
CV
Main criteria will be: scientific and technical contributions to the field of research, especially those listed in the Science Citation Index, in relation to the duration of the candidate's scientific career. Of special importance are the first-authored papers by the candidate. Appointments and stays (at the PhD or postdoctoral level) in prestigious research institutions. Conference contributions, especially those leading to publications. Any periods of inactivity for medical reasons, maternity/paternity leaves, elderly care, or due to training or professional experience in other fields will be taken into account.
Adequacy to the Objectives of the Contract
Adequacy of the candidate's training and experience to this contract. As explained in the job description, we are overall looking for candidates with experience on Machine Learning and/or Galaxy Formation.
Interview
Candidates who have obtained at least 50 points in the first phase will be invited to an interview. The interview may be given in either Spanish or English (as chosen by the candidate) and take place using internet communication software (Zoom) that allows voice and image transmission.
Training
Candidates who have obtained their doctorate at the IAC must provide accreditation of a period of complementary training at other research centres. The required period is a full continuous year or 18 accumulated months (including periods of training during the doctoral studies stage and after obtaining the Ph.D. degree, but not periods prior to the predoctoral contract at the IAC).
Duration
The contract will be of indefinite duration. It is estimated that the date of commencement will be during the first quarter of 2024. The current funding horizon for the project ends on August 31, 2026.
Remuneration
The gross annual salary will be 38,000 Euros, with deductions of up to 20% for income tax (IRPF) and social security (dependent on the candidate's personal situation). The contract provides social security cover for spouse or de facto partner and children.
Extra Financial Support
The present job offer includes financial support related to the incorporation of the selected candidate at the IAC. You may apply for up to 2,500€ to cover any necessary - and duly documented - relocation costs when you take up your post at any IAC workplace.
Presentation of Applications
Applications must be sent electronically via the web-based application system https://iac.Sede.Gob.Es/procedimientos/portada/idp/390/language/en before the deadline set out in this advertisement. The following documentation must be sent: online application including the name and position code (PS-2023-075), copy of a valid passport or national identity card, CV, containing a list of publications (NO amendment allowed), report on research activity and justification of suitability for the job -not exceeding 2 pages- (NO amendment allowed), copy of your degree or corresponding stamped certificate, issued on behalf of the University where you have obtained the degree (in Spanish or English) (NO amendment allowed), certificate of training in other centers (only for applicants that have completed their doctorate at the IAC). You should also include the names and email addresses of two or three scientists familiar with your work.
