Postdoc: Multiscale Interferometry for AGN Dynamics

CNRS; France; On-site; EUR 42,000 - 54,000; Full time

Job summary

CNRS in France seeks a postdoctoral researcher to advance AGN studies using long-baseline optical interferometry. The project spans GRAVITY+, MATISSE, and related instruments, with an emphasis on image reconstruction, ML on simulated data, and joint modeling of BLR and dust structures.

The role involves collaborating with an international team based in Nice, contributing to interferometric data analysis, model fitting, and noise-model validation tasks. Proficiency in English is essential.

Qualifications

• Experience in AGN science and interferometry is preferred.
• Proficiency in Python and ML approaches is desirable.
• Ability to work with international collaborators and teams.

Responsibilities

• Combine image-reconstruction and deconvolution codes for interferometry.
• Develop ML tools on simulated data and apply to GRAVITY/MATISSE data.
• Integrate multi-scale imaging and model-fitting with real observations.
• Assist in validating GRAVITY and MATISSE noise models.
