Arizona Cosmology Lab Fellowship

About this position

• The Arizona Cosmology Lab, a research unit of the University of
• Arizona (UA) Department of Astronomy and Steward Observatory (SO),
• invites applications for the Arizona Cosmology Lab Fellowship
• (multiple hires expected).

• Fellows conduct independent research in cosmological data analysis
• broadly, spanning research in theoretical and numerical modeling of
• cosmological, astrophysical, and gravitational-wave observables;
• development of statistical-inference and machine-learning methods;
• direct analysis of current and future surveys or experiments.

This year, priority will be given to applicants in the following

topical areas:

1.

Modeling and analysis of data from SPHEREx

2.

Modeling and analysis of imaging data from Roman and Rubin’s LSST

3.

Theoretical and computational study of large-scale structure

4.

Line intensity mapping, and its cross-correlations with galaxy and

CMB surveys

5.

• Low-frequency gravitational-wave astrophysics, spanning theory and
• data analysis. Connection between supermassive/massive black hole
• astrophysics and GW observations.

Please identify the topical area(s) of your application in your cover

letter and research statement.

• As members of the Arizona Cosmology Lab, fellows will be provided with
• priority access to UA and national supercomputing resources, close
• mentorship by experienced faculty, and opportunities to co-advise
• graduate students and mentor undergraduates. UA offers a world-class
• research environment in astrophysics with strong interdisciplinary
• programs across the Departments of Astronomy, Physics, Planetary
• Sciences, the UA Data Science Institute, UA Space Institute, and NSF's
• NOIRLab.
