IAA-CSIC offers a predoc contract in the framework of the Project “Severo Ochoa”. Candidates are expected to carry out their activity in the field of stellar physics and exoplanets.

Supervisor: Pedro Amado (pja@iaa.csic.es).

Tasks:
• He will familiarise themselves with the radial velocity and transit techniques to detect planets and will become a new member of the consortium.
• He will acquire all the basic knowledge needed to determine radial velocities (RVs) with CARMENES in the optical and near-infrared wavelength ranges together with the statistical analysis of probabilities of detections, Bayesian/frequentist determination of orbital parameters, usage of Gaussian Processes to correct activity in photometric and activity indicators to eventually correct the RV time series.
• He will get involved in the TESS follow-up working groups.

Submission of applications: 

Through the online application of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (using the code SEV-2017-0709-21-1)
