Postdoctoral Position in Statistics at the University of Auckland, New Zealand

The University of Auckland is looking to hire two research fellows (post-docs) in gravitational wave science. One position is focused on the dynamics of possible low-frequency sources (including supermassive black holes interacting with ultralight dark matter) and one is focused on the statistical analysis of gravitational wave time-series. Both positions will be filled from the same pool of applicants.

These positions support a larger national collaboration in gravitational wave science, centered on engagement with the LISA mission. This cross-disciplinary effort engages scientists in mathematics, statistics, physics and astronomy from five universities and has strong international linkages. The project is supported by a major grant which also funds six PhD studentships to commence in 2022. These two positions are due to run for three years and are fixed-term.
