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.
CSIRO’s Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope is a world-leading instrument in localising Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). Pinpointing where FRBs come from allows us to identify their host galaxies, study their environments and use them as cosmological probes to uncover the Universe’s missing baryons. This Postdoctoral Fellowship will give early career researchers the opportunity to join ASKAP’s Commensal Real-time Transients (CRAFT) team and get involved in the testing and commissioning of the new “CRAFT Coherent Upgrade” (CRACO) instrument which will be deployed on ASKAP towards the end of 2021. This upgrade will make ASKAP 5 times more sensitive to FRBs, enabling the CRAFT team to detect bursts more efficiently, significantly increasing the sample of localised FRBs.
