The Japan/New Zealand/US Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) collaboration has been engaged with the detection of exoplanets via gravitational microlensing of over 25 years. This work has resulted in a large data archive of high cadence observations. These field observations need to be reduced, producing light curves of observed objects. The millions of light curves produced will have to be categorized using, for example, machine learning. These categories can be used to (i) classify new light curves and (ii) identify new, unknown classes of objects. The candidate will:
The candidate must have experience in:
Ideally, the candidate would have experience in:
