Job Announcement Text: 
Australia is founding its future on science and innovation. Its national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), is a powerhouse of ideas, technologies and skills for building prosperity, growth, health and sustainability. It serves governments, industries, business and communities.
• Be part of a leading internationally recognised team
• Lead the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Dish Consortium
• Contribute to building the world’s largest radio observatory
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will be the world’s most advanced radio observatory, with telescopes to be deployed in Western Australia and the Karoo (South Africa). The SKA project is currently in its pre-construction phase, in which international consortia are producing the detailed design and prototypes for the telescopes.
In this role, you will lead the international Dish Consortium, which is designing antennas and receivers for two of the SKA telescopes: SKA1-Mid in South Africa, and SKA1-Survey in Australia. The Dish Consortium is one of the largest of the SKA design consortia and consists of a mix of industry, universities and research organisations, led by CSIRO. Key deliverables for the consortium include the design and verification of the dish structure, optics, feed suites and receivers for the two telescopes, culminating in a successful Critical Design Review at the end of 2016.
Location: Marsfield, Sydney, NSW
Salary: AU $152K to AU $191K p.a. plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: 2 year term, with the possibility of extension
Ref No: NSW14/04202
To be successful in this role, you will have substantial experience in leading large, complex projects in the radio astronomy area, or similar. You will be comfortable working in an international consortium, and in balancing the priorities and needs of a range of partners and stakeholders. Your experience will also include working closely with industry partners on the delivery of large R&D projects.
