<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1D1C1D;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">I would like to draw your attention to a CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) engineering fellowship for which we are
accepting applications. Please forward it to those interested.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The CERC Fellow will develop an FPGA prototype of a groundbreaking all-sky radio camera for large aperture arrays that will occupy the landscape of modern radio astronomy. This
innovative radio camera prototype will generate high-speed (over 1000 FPS) real-time images while consuming less than 5% of the energy of current methods, making it energy-efficient and cost-effective for discovering explosive and transient astrophysical phenomena.
This high-speed, all-sky radio camera will be the first of its kind, advancing our understanding of the fundamental nature of matter and high-energy phenomena in the universe. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This project will support the upcoming Low-frequency Australian Megametre Baseline Demonstrator Array (LAMBDA) project, a CSIRO Space & Astronomy initiative, that aims to extend
Square Kilometre Array (SKA-low) by constructing SKA-low-like stations at CSIRO sites like Parkes and Narrabri. The prototype, designed for dense, large-N arrays, will enhance LAMBDA’s capabilities, and amplify the impact potential of SKA-low. Beyond LAMBDA,
the project will be a pathfinder for fast, all-sky imaging with future aperture arrays consisting of thousands to tens of thousands of antennas being conceived by CSIRO Space & Astronomy and several international groups for monitoring the sky for transient
phenomena at radio wavelengths.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
