Funded positions

Interdisciplinary PhD and Postdoctoral program in Astrophysics and Machine Learning

Strasbourg University offers funding for PhD fellowships (3 years) and Postdoc fellowships (2 year) for interdisciplinary projects connecting astrophysics and machine learning. Please note that the project must contain research on ML, and not just the use of ML as a tool.

If you are interested in such programs, with the astronomy part about galaxy formation and evolution, galactic archeology, star formation, star clusters, or stellar streams, please express your interest by email (florent.renaud<at>astro.unistra.fr) with your CV and a short description of your project, to receive full consideration.

Deadlines: Yearly, around early November (postdoc) and early March (PhD).
