This includes research scientists, engineers, technical and administrative support staff. See our staff list.

Divisional policy, strategic planning and operational management are the responsibility of the CASS Executive Team while the day-to-day operation of the ATNF is divided into two sections: Engineering Operations and Science Operations. Find out more about our management teams.

Our students

CASS staff co-supervise PhD students in astrophysics and engineering from (mostly) Australian universities. Find out more about our astrophysics student program and our engineering student program, or see our student list.
