[ASA] SKA lectureships at the University of Manchester

[John O'Byrne]

SKA lectureships at the University of Manchester

Applications are invited for two Lectureships in the Square Kilometre Array Group, part of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics in the School of Physics and Astronomy, with effect from 1 October 2012. We are seeking to appoint scientists with established records of excellence in research in astrophysics and/or instrument development in radio astronomy, and the potential to play leading roles in instrumentation development for the SKA project.

The University of Manchester is one of three major UK university contributors to the SKA, together with Cambridge and Oxford, and its Jodrell Bank Observatory is the designated location of the international headquarters of the SKA Organization, the UK-based legal entity that directs the project. The University also operates the e-MERLIN interferometer which is an SKA Pathfinder instrument.
SKA activity in Manchester encompasses the science case and a number of engineering developments including the hardware design, construction, and verification of the signal & data transport and synchronization & timing sub-systems, non-imaging processing for pulsars and transients, and aperture array receiver design.

The successful applicants are expected to be scientists of international standing with an active interest in leading the design and development of substantial elements of the SKA and able to work with the central SKA Office, university and other academic collaborators in the UK and elsewhere, and industry. Expertise in non-imaging processing for pulsar and transient research or optical data transmission with application to signal and data transport and timing and sychronisation systems, would be of particular interest.

Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Richard Schilizzi.
Email: Richard.Schilizzi at manchester.ac.uk; Telephone: +44 (0)161 275 4055.

Application forms and	further particulars are	available from our website www.manchester.ac.uk/jobs.

Closing date: 30 June 2012. Please quote reference EPS-01161.

The University of Manchester values a diverse workforce and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
