CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in detecting radio transients from the Earth and from the Moon

Updated: 3 months ago
Location: Sydney Olympic Park, NEW SOUTH WALES
Deadline: 31 Jan 2024

The postdoctoral Fellow will help develop wide field-of-view transient radio detectors that could be installed on the Earth or on the lunar surface. Observing from the lunar surface has multiple challenges including the power available to run a telescope and to process the data, but also has many advantages (the lack of radio interference being one). Working closely with an engineering postdoctoral fellow, you will develop the science cases for such instruments (such as extragalactic and Galactic radio transients, radio pulsars/stars and SETI signals), demonstrate the effectiveness of new instrumentation (such as wide-field-of-view radio transient detectors) and produce high-impact science output from the existing ATNF instruments (including with ASKAP, Murriyang/Parkes, ATCA and/or the LBA).

To be appointed to this CERC Fellowship role within CSIRO, candidates will be expected to commence employment by 30 June 2024 and have no more than 3 years (or full time equivalent) of relevant postdcotoral research experience.
