Caitlin M. Casey

Interested in joining the group?

(December 2024) I'm currently hiring postdocs to start in my group in Spring/Summer/Fall 2025 at UCSB. General topics will be the most massive galaxies in the first few billion years of cosmic time, large scale structure maps, clustering, some high-z transient detections, and early AGN. The job ad will be posted in late December 2024 with a deadline in late January 2025. Please feel free to reach out to me with further questions.
