Call for Lecturers for Online Training School
This exceptional VMG call is to create an online training school series of training sessions, planned on the intersection of Working Groups 2 (Data Analysis in Cosmology) and 3 (Fundamental Physics) (see cosmoversetensions.eu/organisation/working-groups for more information). These lectures will centre on the interface of data analysis and fundamental physics in cosmology, and make the connection between these research themes. The series will cover lectures and training in the latest cosmology simulation code, together with the integration of new fundamental physics models and their use in these implementations. Each lecture will entail a 1-2 hr lecture with a Q&A session together with some assignments for students. The topics will be:
- Cosmological tensions
- Early Dark Energy
- Neutrino cosmology
- Horndeski theory
- Data analysis and cosmological simulations
- Machine learning in cosmology
The lectures will benefit from a wide audience due to the large network that CosmoVerse has built, as well as recording lectures that will remain on the CosmoVerse website as training material for future cosmologists.
Any interested prospective lecturers can apply to this grant using their e-COST profile and selecting the Virtual Mobility Grant of CosmoVerse (CA21136). This application will need a recent CV, the identified topic being proposed, and a brief description of why they are appropriate to teach this part of the lecture series.
Deadline: Wednesday, 4 September 2024
