One position will be under the supervision of Prof. Paul Robertson. Prof. Robertson's research group seeks applicants with interest and experience in ultra-precise Doppler exoplanet science. In addition to UCO facilities, Robertson's group has access to data from the new Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF) and NEID spectrometers. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in astrophysics or a related discipline by Fall 2020. It is preferred that candidates also have experience in observational exoplanet science.
