Tonry, Brent Tully, Mark Chun, Christoph Baranec, David Rubin and myself
(Ben Shappee) have three postdoc ads that we would like to bring to
your attention. These are three separate but related ads and we expect
that the three selected postdocs will work closely with one another. We
kindly ask that you bring these ads to the attention of all potentially
interested candidates (including yourselves, if relevant!), especially
women and underrepresented minorities. </div><div><br><br></div></div><div><br></div><div><div><b>1) </b><b>Hawai‘i Supernova Flows Postdoctoral Fellowship </b></div>Applications submitted by <b>Jan 31</b> will receive full consideration although the position will remain open until filled.<div><a href="https://jobregister.aas.org/ad/6ad4eda1" target="_blank">https://jobregister.aas.org/ad/6ad4eda1</a><br></div><div>"Applications

on the Hawai‘i Supernova Flows program to determine distances to Type
Ia supernovae and map the velocity field of the universe to a redshift
corresponding to z=0.1. The selected candidate is expected to be
involved at all levels in the program including: (a) daily evaluation of
candidate Supernova Type Ia (SNIa) events coming from Asteroid
Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) and other facilities, (b)
the initiation of follow-up infrared photometry and spectroscopy,
primarily with the 3.8-meter United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT)
and University of Hawai‘i (UH) 2.2-meter telescope respectively, (c)
contributes to development and improvement to the chain of procedures,
from observations through post-observation reductions and analysis of
data products, (d) maintains database of the accumulating information,
(e) participates in the scientific evaluation of the resultant products
and collaboration in publications. The successful candidate will have
the opportunity to apply for observing time on all Maunakea telescopes.

in the roboticization effort of the University of Hawai’i (UH)
2.2-meter telescope, also known as UH88”, on Maunakea as part of the
National Science Foundation (NSF) Major Research Instrumentation award.
The robotic UH88” telescope will be well instrumented with the second
generation of the robotic Adaptive Optics system (Robo-AOII), a
wide-field optical imager, and the SuperNovae Integral Field
Spectrograph (SNIFS). The selected candidate is expected to (a) develop
a robotic scheduler balancing between programs and instruments, (b) aid
in the interface between the scheduler and telescope control system and
instruments, (c) develop data archiving and data severing
infrastructure, (d) monitor data quality and telescope performance, (e)
integrate existing data reduction pipelines in the data severing
infrastructure, (f) participate in other robotcization activities, and
(g) carry out a research program using the UH88” telescope and other
observing resources. The successful candidate will have the opportunity
to apply for observing time on all Maunakea telescopes."</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b>3) Postdoctoral Position in Supernova Cosmology</b></div><div>Applications submitted by <b>Jan 31</b> will receive full consideration although the position will remain open until filled.<b><br></b><a href="https://jobregister.aas.org/ad/06bf9ae4" target="_blank">https://jobregister.aas.org/ad/06bf9ae4</a></div><div><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px"><div style="margin:0.25em 0em;padding:0.25em 0em;line-height:1.3em">"The
Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Hawaiʻi at
Mānoa is hiring a postdoctoral researcher in supernova cosmology and
related areas, including astronomical observing, data analysis, research
into SN Ia standardization, photometric calibration, and/or
cosmological analyses. The appointment is for an initial period of two
years, starting Fall 2020 (other start dates are negotiable), with an
available extension to a third year. The postdoc will pursue independent
research using UH facilities as well as collaborating with Prof. David
Rubin and others.
