Dear all,
The University of Chicago and the NSF-Simons AI Institute for the Sky
(SkAI <https://skai-institute.org/>) are seeking a Postdoctoral
Associate. The associate will work on generative machine learning
methods for astrophysical dynamics under the mentorship of Rebecca
Willett, Nisha Chandramoorthy (University of Chicago), and Frederic
Rasio (Northwestern University). The appointment is initially for one
year, with the possibility of renewal for two additional years.
Spurred by the coming generation of large sky surveys, the SkAI
Institute brings together astrophysics and AI researchers to advance
both fields through cross-disciplinary collaboration and will serve as a
nexus for the further development of a nationwide Astro-AI community.
SkAI is a vibrant research community of scholars from computer science,
astronomy, applied mathematics, astrophysics, and statistics. The
associate will benefit from a dynamic, cross-disciplinary intellectual
environment (including workshops, lecture series, conferences, retreats,
and more), engaged mentorship, training opportunities, access to
computing resources suited for AI research, and opportunities to
collaborate with peers and mentor students from SkAI academic partners.
This position requires a PhD in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a
related field, with strong ML/AI experience and an interest in
astrophysics. Please send your expression of interest in an email with
your CV attached to Nisha Chandramoorthy (email: nishac at uchicago.edu).
