Curtin University Research Fellowship opportunities

The Curtin University Research Fellowship scheme aims to attract high
quality post doctoral researchers with excellent potential for providing
future academic and research leadership at the University.

Applications are encouraged in the field of astronomy and astrophysics
research, to take up positions in the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy
(CIRA). CIRA is a research group comprised of over 50 staff and PhD
students, focused primarily on radio astronomy but spanning all
observational astronomy, radio astronomy engineering, applications of high
performance computing in astronomy, and astrophysics theory (including
simulation). CIRA comprises one half of the International Centre for Radio
Astronomy Research (ICRAR) Joint Venture with The University of Western
Australia and is a node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for All-sky
Astrophysics (CAASTRO).

A clear focus for CIRA research programs is the path to the Square
Kilometre Array (SKA), including the scientific exploitation of SKA
pathfinders and precursors, such as the CIRA-led $50m Murchison Widefield
Array (MWA), and a leading role in SKA pre-construction activities over the
next three years. In particular, the MWA is about to enter its full
science operations phase and many opportunities exist for participation in
this program. CIRA researchers have excellent access to the new $80m
Pawsey supercomputing Centre.

CIRA researchers collaborate widely and are well resourced for
participation in national and international projects.

The call for applications in 2013, for commencement in 2014, refers to a
targeted research-only fellowship with two streams:

1. Early Career Researcher Fellowship: Suitably qualified applicants who
received their PhD on or after 1 March 2008;

2. Senior Research Fellowship: Suitably qualified applicants with more than
five years post-doctoral experience.

Applications Open: Friday 7th June 2013
Applications Close: Monday 5th August 2013 at 5:00pm GMT+8:00

Potential applicants should contact CIRA co-Director Prof. Steven Tingay (
s.tingay_at_curtin.<!--nospam-->edu.au) for more information and guidance on the
application process. The following URL provides links to the application
forms, call for applications, and scheme guidelines:
