About this position

The University of Arizona Department of Astronomy and Steward Observatory invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in direct imaging and instrument development, focused on high-contrast imaging and spectroscopy of exoplanets and substellar companions.

The researcher will work closely with Assistant Professor Brittany Miles and staff and engineers from the Center for Astronomical Adaptive Optics. The project includes integrating and commissioning a coronagraphic, adaptive-optics-assisted, long-wavelength infrared integral field unit, as well as developing thermal infrared instrumentation and science for the Large Binocular Telescope and future 30-meter-class telescopes.

The postdoctoral researcher will lead an independent research agenda in thermal infrared instrumentation and the characterization of planetary atmospheres. The scientific program includes high-profile research on exoplanet and brown dwarf atmospheres, infrared observations, data reduction, and the operation and testing of astronomical instruments. The role also offers opportunities to pursue independent research and apply for observing time on Steward Observatory facilities as a principal investigator.

In addition to research, the position involves publications, presentations, public engagement, collaboration with faculty and scholars, and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. The researcher will join Steward Observatory, a major University of Arizona research unit bringing together astronomers, students, engineers, technicians, and staff across advanced facilities and laboratories.

The broader research environment connects astronomy with physics, optical sciences, and planetary sciences, with access to ground-based radio and optical observing facilities and computational resources.

Funding details

Full-time, benefits-eligible position with full benefits, including health, dental, vision, and life insurance; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; and access to university recreation and cultural activities.
