Louisiana State University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work with Professor Matthew Penny’s group on data from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS). The project offers several research directions, including detection and modeling of exoplanets in Roman microlensing events; transiting-planet detection and false-positive rejection in Roman and ground-based searches of globular clusters; exoplanet demographics using microlensing and transits; ...

The LIGO Laboratory is seeking one or more postdoctoral researchers to work on data analysis for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, a major research effort in gravitational-wave physics and astronomy. The successful researcher will join a laboratory managed by Caltech and MIT and contribute to the analysis of LIGO data for diagnostic purposes and astrophysics searches. The postdoctoral researcher may also participate in detector characterization and calibration efforts, gai...

The University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory invites applications for a full-time postdoctoral fellowship in dusty inner regions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) interferometric imaging . Based in Tucson, Arizona, the fellow will investigate the structure of AGN using infrared and Fizeau interferometric imaging from the Large Binocular Telescope. The research will focus on interpreting recently acquired and ongoing mid-infrared interferometric observations that resolve dusty regions traditiona...
