Postdoctoral Researcher for an ALMA Advanced Data Product pipeline

Centro/Institution:

Onsala Space Observatory/Chalmers University

Onsala Space Observatory (OSO) division at Chalmers University is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to lead the development of an Advanced Data Product (ADP) pipeline for the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). The position is for two years with the possibility of extension. It is expected that 50% of the time of this postdoc will be dedicated to the ADP pipeline effort, and 50% to pursue research in one's own scientific interests.

Project description
We have been awarded an ESO grant to adapt existing tools developed for spectral line source finding in large HI spectral line surveys from SKA precursors (e.g. SoFiA-2 ) to the spectral line output from the ALMA Science pipeline . The goal is to produce an end-to-end pipeline which identifies, parametrizes, and catalogs spectral line detections in image cubes from the ALMA Science Archive ; performs quality assurance on the source finding results; and produces advanced data products on a per-source basis to be re-ingested to the ALMA archive. At Onsala, the postdoc will work closely with experts from the Nordic ALMA Regional Center (ARC), and will be embedded within the globally distributed SoFiA software development team.

About the position
We are looking for an applicant with advanced software skills, experience with version control (e.g. git/github), ability to work in a distributed software team, and excellent communication skills. Previous experience with writing and/or implementing astronomical data reduction pipelines is desirable, and experience with radio spectral line data is advantageous but not essential. Applicants who feel the development of a spectral line ADP pipeline will enhance their own scientific research are strongly encouraged.

The science aspect of this position is open and links to research ongoing at Chalmers are strongly encouraged. OSO and the Astronomy and Plasma physics (AoP) divisions at Chalmers host about 50 staff members involved in fields such as active galactic nuclei, evolved stars, exoplanets, galaxy formation and evolution, galaxy groups and clusters, interstellar medium, star formation, magnetic field structure in the Milky Way, and astrochemistry, as well as radio astronomical instrumentation and data processing. More information about the astronomy at Chalmers, the position and its responsibilities, as well as benefits, and how to submit an application can be found on the Chalmers vacancy website .

Qualifications
You must have completed a PhD in astrophysics, astronomy, physics, or scientific computing, by the start of the position. Proficiency with programming is essential; knowledge of C and/or Python is desirable. Experience with data pipelines or spectral line radio astronomy are considered an asset. In addition, excellent writing and communication skills in English are required.

Application procedure
Please apply through the online portal. A complete application includes:
- Cover Letter, including motivation for applying to this position.
- CV, including complete list of publications
- Statement of research, including software/pipeline experience and potential collaborative links with OSO and AoP staff.
- Contact details of three referees who can be contacted for letters.

Application deadline is 19 January 2023 , or until an appropriate candidate is found.
