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.
In this position you will undertake research to improve the performance execution of the data processing pipelines for the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), CSIRO’s newest and largest radio telescope. High Performance Computing is vital for the processing and analysis of data from the telescope and the Software and Computing group provides and maintains the data processing pipelines that take the raw output from the telescope and generate high quality data products for the astronomy community. ASKAP generates large amounts of data (nearly 10TB/hr) that requires substantial and near real-time processing before it is ready for scientific use. The data processing needs to be much faster so that scientists can rely on the outcomes of our high-performance processing pipelines to get the data required for their science. The fellow will explore novel solutions to this problem for radio astronomy data processing and contribute to the development of future data processing pipelines.
