Hi everyone, (Apologies if you receive this via multiple distribution channels)
Swinburne University, CSIRO, and Fourier Space Pty Ltd are advertising a PhD scholarship opportunity in the area of high performance digital signal processing for radio astronomy. This full-time PhD position will undertake research into signal processing techniques for multi-element phased array feeds that are used for radio astronomy, employing commodity computation on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). Digital beamforming on phased array feeds offers the opportunity to observe a wide field of view and simultaneously undertake enhanced signal analysis, such as detecting and removing radio frequency interference. In this way, astronomical signals such as pulsars and fast radio bursts can be detected and analysed in real time, despite the enormous (terabit per second) data rates involved. By employing GPUs and a software-based approach, the candidate will prototype new techniques and algorithms for integration into high-performance pipelines at radio astronomy facilities. This industry linked position has a highly competitive scholarship (AU$46k/annum for up to 4 years, supplemented by a generous allowance of $12k/annum towards project costs) and provides the opportunity for the successful candidate to gain experience undertaking components of their thesis work at both CSIRO and Fourier Space Pty Ltd. The ideal candidate will have an interest in astronomical instrumentation and strong skills in software engineering. Applications close Friday 22nd March 2024 - for more information, please contact Prof. Adam Deller (adel...@swin.edu.au), and to apply, head to https://swinjobs.nga.net.au/?jati=6638423D-621D-FA56-367E-DA7B12C60704.
