This position is funded as part of Prof. Brian Schmidt’s Australian Research Council’s Laureate Fellowship.
 
The position will undertake a vigorous, self-directed theoretical research program in an area relevant to the SkyMapper telescope’s transient survey, and will contribute to the success of the SkyMapper telescope and its corresponding surveys by working constructively with other members of the SkyMapper team. Successful candidates will have access to the world-class ANU super-computing facilities, the SkyMapper 1.3m survey telescope and its corresponding survey datasets, the well-instrumented 2.3m telescope, which is equipped with a new, high-efficiency optical integral field spectrograph (WiFeS), and to Australia’s other national radio and optical/IR facilities.

Successful candidates will be offered attractive remuneration and assistance will be provided with relocation expenses.
 
The appointment will be for three years at a level of Research Fellow, Academic Level B (AU$83,773 - AU$95,407pa) plus 17% employer superannuation contributions. The position may be taken part-time.
