[ASA] Postdoctoral Position(s) at the University of Sydney, Australia

[John O'Byrne]

Dear Colleagues,

The Sydney Institute for Astronomy at the University of Sydney has recently advertised a
postdoctoral position in astrophotonics and exoplanet instrumentation / observational
research. This is primarily to support the GLINT project, which is developing integrated-optic
photonic nulling technologies for deployment at a range of large telescopes (such as Subaru)
and other observatories worldwide. There is also the opportunity to participate in the wider
range of astrophysical research undertaken within the group at U.Sydney with themes in high
contrast/high resolution imaging, optical interferometric polarimetry and spectro-interferometry.
We are particularly seeking skills at the boundary of Astronomy data analysis and interpretation,
coding development, and interfacing to hardware. Further details are attached, or to find the

(or, if you have to type it out for some reason, a tiny URL here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/EcFNCgZowLHNM2qnFNoZuc?domain=tinyurl.com )

This is the first of two positions being advertised at the University of Sydney in this research
area in 2018. The second will be focused on the James Webb Space Telescope Interferometer which
will launch in the NIRISS instrument next year. The technology enabling this instrument was designed
here at Sydney and this second JWST-I postdoctoral position will play a major role in its
commissioning and scientific exploitation. This should be advertised later in the year, but
expressions of interest from exceptional candidates are welcome.

I would appreciate if this opportunity could be brought to the attention of early-career researchers
in your institute.

Thanks and best wishes

Peter Tuthill
