CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Astrophysical Masers and Interstellar Medium Science with GASKAP-OH
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our vision towards reconciliation
CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.
The successful candidate will work with incoming data from the GASKAP-OH project, one of nine approved Survey Science Projects on the Australia Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). GASKAP-OH is observing all four 18-cm ground state lines of hydroxyl (OH) at unprecedented resolution and sensitivity, across the Southern Galactic Plane and Large Magellanic Cloud, and pilot data is in hand.
You will work with the ASKAP software team to finalise the imaging pipeline for the full GASKAP-OH survey and have the opportunity to lead the publication of early science results and data release papers. You will be supported by the expertise of a dispersed project team in Sydney, the SKAO (Perth & Manchester, UK), and many other institutes across the world.
