CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in the application of Deep Learning methods to radio astronomy
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.
ASKAP is a correlated array of 36 12-m dishes and it maps the sky via synthesis imaging – an indirect imaging technique similar to that used in medical imaging (eg. CT scans or MRIs). The ASKAP data rate is ~2Gb per second, yielding ~75 Pb per year. Hence, smarter automation of data verification processes plus post-processing processes are two work areas that Deep Learning methods can help contribute towards.
The successful candidate will work in close collaborations with Dr Ivy Wong, the ASKAP spectral line commissioning scientist(s) and other WALLABY postdoc(s) to provide novel solutions to the scientific and technical challenges faced by the next-generation radio sky surveys.
