[ASA] Curtin University Research Fellowship applications now open

[Steven Tingay]

Curtin University Research Fellowships

The Curtin University Research Fellowship scheme aims to attract high
quality post doctoral researchers with excellent potential for providing
future academic and research leadership to Curtin University.

Applications are strongly encouraged in the field of astronomy and
astrophysics research, which is a strategic priority for Curtin University,
to take up positions in the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy (CIRA).
CIRA is a research group comprised of over 50 staff and PhD students,
focused primarily on radio astronomy but spanning all observational
astronomy, radio astronomy engineering, applications of high performance
computing in astronomy, and astrophysics theory (including simulation).
CIRA comprises one half of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy
Research (ICRAR) Joint Venture with The University of Western Australia and
is a node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for All-sky Astrophysics
(CAASTRO).

A clear focus for CIRA research programs is the path to the Square
Kilometre Array (SKA), including the scientific exploitation of SKA
pathfinders and precursors, such as the CIRA-led $50m Murchison Widefield
Array (MWA), and a leading role in SKA pre-construction activities over the
next three years.  In particular, the MWA is the first operational SKA
Precursor and many opportunities exist for participation in this program.
CIRA researchers have excellent access to the new $80m Pawsey
supercomputing Centre.

CIRA researchers collaborate widely and are well resourced for
participation in national and international projects.

The call for applications in 2014, for commencement in 2015, refers to
a fellowships
in two streams:

1. Early Career Researcher Fellowships: Suitably qualified applicants who
received their PhD in the last five years;

2. Senior Research Fellowships: Suitably qualified applicants with more
than five years post-doctoral experience.

These categories of Fellowship are also available as Curtin Indigenous
Research Fellowships, where Aboriginality is an inherent requirement for
appointment per Section 50(d) of the WA Equal Opportunity Act (1984).

For applicants who have already submitted ARC Fellowship applications at
any institution, there is a fast-track application process.

Applications Close: Friday 4th July 2014 at 5:00pm GMT+8:00
