The successful\napplicant will devote half of their research time to the continued development\nand deployment of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2010.11829\">GWSkyNet<\/a>, a machine-learning algorithm to\ndistinguish true GW signals from detector glitches using publicly available\ninformation, for the upcoming LIGO-Virgo observing run, O4. Half of their\nresearch time will be used to explore other interests in multi-messenger\nastronomy with GWs. The researcher in this position will be a key figure in\nCanadian efforts to identify and study electromagnetic counterparts to\ngravitational wave candidate events issued by LIGO and Virgo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers with knowledge of (or\nwho are eager to learn about) machine learning methods and\/or low latency\ngravitational-wave alerts are especially encouraged to apply. Experience with\ngravitational-wave data analysis is an asset, but not a requirement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The position will be located at\none of three institutions in Canada: at the University of British Columbia,\nworking with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gravitational-waves.phas.ubc.ca\/\">Prof. Jess McIver<\/a>; McGill University\nworking with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhaggard.physics.mcgill.ca\/\">Prof. Daryl Haggard<\/a>; or the University of\nToronto, working with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.astro.utoronto.ca\/~drout\/\">Prof. Maria Drout<\/a>. The primary host\ninstitution will be negotiated at the time of hire. Wherever the successful\napplicant is based, they will have frequent interactions with the other\nCanadian and international partners in the project. The successful applicant\nwill have access to competitive Canadian telescope facilities, e.g., the Canada\nFrance Hawaii Telescope and twin Gemini Observatories, as well as world-class\ncomputing facilities through Compute Canada and institutional resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The position will ideally start\nbefore Spring 2022 (or earlier if possible), ahead of the next LIGO-Virgo\nobserving run, expected in mid-2022. This is a two-year position with a\ncompetitive annual salary of $65,000 CAD plus benefits awarded by the host\ninstitution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will begin reviewing\napplication materials on&nbsp;<strong>July 15, 2021<\/strong>, and continue reviewing\nuntil the position is filled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more details on the position,\nor to apply, please see the job ad:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/academicjobsonline.org\/ajo\/jobs\/18783\">https:\/\/academicjobsonline.org\/ajo\/jobs\/18783<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The project team leadership is\ncommitted to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all team\nmembers. We strongly encourage researchers from underrepresented groups in\nphysics and astronomy to apply.
