Melbourne, Victoria, Australia beBeeAstrophysics Full time $90,000 - $100,000
Job Opportunity

We are seeking a talented scientist to undertake cutting-edge research into the astrophysics of compact objects and transient sources under the guidance of Prof. Adam Deller.

The research will be undertaken in collaboration with 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 Focus:

  • Radio pulsars used for tests of gravitational theories and to detect nanohertz gravitational waves
  • The electromagnetic counterparts to compact object mergers
  • 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.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • 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
  • Research experience in the field related to compact objects mergers such as accretion, gravitational waves, radio pulsars, etc.

You Must Have:

  • A PhD or equivalent in astrophysics or a closely related field

What We Offer:

We offer flexible working options, leave, and carer policies to support work-life balance. We are committed to cultivating a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusivity for all members, colleagues, and partners.
