Ozgrav Postdoctoral Research Fellow
3 months ago
We have an exciting Postdoctoral Research Fellow opportunity working with OzGrav, the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery.
We are seeking a scientist who is passionate about using radio interferometry observations to undertake cutting edge research into the astrophysics of compact objects (neutron stars and black holes) and transient sources, under the guidance of Prof. Adam Deller. The research will be undertaken in collaboration with OzGrav, the ARC Centre for Excellence in Gravitational Wave Discovery, and other national and international partners. The appointee will contribute to the scheduling, observation, data reduction, and analysis of radio interferometry data, with a particular focus on high angular resolution observations enabled by Very Long Baseline Interferometry facilities. Areas of scientific focus include radio pulsars used for tests of gravitational theories and to detect nanohertz gravitational waves, the electromagnetic counterparts to compact object mergers, and Fast Radio Bursts.
The appointee will be encouraged to pursue independent research aligned with understanding the astrophysics of these sources, and their use as tools to probe fundamental physics. The position requires the ability to work both independently and to draw on the expertise of collaborators at partner institutes.
**About you**
To be suitable for this role you will need to have experience in most, but not necessarily all, of the following criteria:
- Experience with radio interferometers, including proficiency with radio astronomy data reduction software such as CASA, AIPS, difmap, or ParselTongue.
- Knowledge of statistical techniques and modern scientific computing.
- Ability to communicate scientific results effectively both verbally and via written communication (i.e., conference presentations and journal publications).
- Experience with Very Long Baseline Interferometry is desirable.
- Research experience in the field related to compact objects mergers such as accretion, gravitational waves, radio pulsars, etc. is preferred.
A full list of the selection criteria is available within the position description.
**Qualifications**
- A PhD or equivalent in astrophysics or a closely related field (e.g. physics, data science)
**About Swinburne University of Technology**
