Postdoc position at ICRAR/Curtin (Perth, Australia)

The role will involve working within the Commensal Real-time ASKAP Fast Transients Survey (CRAFT) collaboration, using high-time-resolution FRB data recorded by the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). ASKAP will shortly be upgraded to allow a fully coherent real-time detection system, which will dramatically increase the number of FRBs with nanosecond time resolution data and arcsecond localisation. The successful applicant will use this and existing data to study the underlying FRB emission mechanism, and the properties of the interstellar, and intergalactic, gas through which they propagate. They will work closely with other members of the CRAFT collaboration, in particular those at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation’s Astronomy and Space Science division.
