| Job Title: Research scholars & Post-doctoral fellows Job Category(s) : Post-doctoral fellow, Project Job Description : Lightcurve.ai, an AI for Astrophysics initiative at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence to accelerate discovery in astrophysics. Our research spans a wide range of themes — from exoplanets to the Sun and stars, including stellar rotation and magnetism, solar and space weather prediction, and ensemble-scale studies of large datasets. At its heart, Lightcurve.ai is about exploring the Sky at Scale - harnessing AI to unlock new insights from the vast streams of data collected by today’s and tomorrow’s observatories. We collaborate closely with leading international Institutions such as Caltech, the Max Planck Institute, and New York University, and are supported by Microsoft Research and Intel Labs India, with generous donations from Premji Invest and the Murty Trust. We invite applications for Visiting Research Scholars at all levels (junior, senior, and postdoctoral) to join our dynamic group. Appointments may range from a few months to three years, depending on interest and fit. Key Responsibilities: Carry out independent and collaborative research in astrophysics and AI-driven data analysis. Engage with large-scale datasets from satellite and ground-based observatories. Contribute to ongoing projects on stellar physics, solar/space weather prediction, exoplanets, and related themes. Present results at internal meetings, seminars, and international conferences. Collaborate with group members, including students, staff, and international partners.
