[ASA] Postdoctoral position, Swinburne University / OzGrav

[Adam Deller]

Dear colleagues,

(apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message through different
channels)

OzGrav is pleased to announce the availability of a 3-year postdoctoral
researcher position at level A. This successful applicant will join the
vibrant OzGrav team at the Hawthorn campus of Swinburne University in
Melbourne, Victoria, and work in OzGrav’s key science programs spanning
Detection, Gravity, and Cosmology.

*About the role and how to apply*
The successful applicant will use radio interferometric observations to
undertake cutting edge research into the astrophysics of compact objects
(neutron stars and black holes), in collaboration with OzGrav and other
national and international partners. The appointee will contribute to the
scheduling, observation, data reduction, and analysis of radio
interferometry data, with a particular focus on high angular resolution
observations enabled by Very Long Baseline Interferometry facilities. Areas
of scientific focus include radio pulsars used for tests of gravitational
theories and to detect nanohertz gravitational waves, the electromagnetic
counterparts to compact object mergers, and Fast Radio Bursts. The
appointee will be encouraged to pursue independent research aligned with
understanding the astrophysics of these sources, and their use as tools to
probe fundamental physics.

Applications will be accepted at
https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/bwZRCr81nytwJPAQ2T7f4u4UiSt?domain=swinjobs.nga.net.au with
a closing date of September 22.  For any queries, please contact Prof. Adam
Deller (adeller at swin.edu.au).

*About OzGrav*
OzGrav began in 2017 with a $31M grant from the Australian Research Council
and recently received a further $35M of funding to further implement and
expand our research program for another seven years. The mission of the ARC
Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) is to use
gravitational waves to investigate the fundamental nature of relativistic
gravity, ultra-dense matter, and cosmology. By bringing together a
world-class team with broad and complementary expertise we will develop
core technologies for future detectors, discover new sources of
gravitational waves, probe fundamental physics, and lay the foundations for
an Australian gravitational wave observatory. Our Centre aims to inspire
children to pursue high tech careers and position our staff and students to
become leaders in both industry and academia.

OzGrav is committed to cultivating a culture of equity, diversity, and
inclusivity for all members, colleagues, and partners. We recognise that
inequality historically and currently exists within the scientific
community across the globe. Our goal is to continue to work on ensuring our
members reflect the diversity of the community by breaking down barriers to
enable all our members to be their whole selves in the workplace. We
believe that diversity of background, identity, approach, and thought
enhances our ability to achieve a new wave of discovery, and we continually
look for ways to make the Centre more inclusive.
Some of the current initiatives OzGrav has available to support our members
are:
* Carer Grant Scheme.
* Generous travel funding.
* Grants to support innovation and research translation.
* Flexible work arrangements and hours, such as hybrid working arrangements
and part-time options available.
* Ongoing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion training.
* For more information on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at OzGrav, you
can find our EDI Action Plan here.
* Dedicated Career Development, Outreach, and Research Translation programs.
* OzGrav offers flexible working options, leave, and carer policies to
support work-life balance.

*Inclusive recruitment*
We are dedicated to ensuring barrier-free and inclusive practices to
recruit the most talented candidates. We strongly encourage people who
identify as women, trans, gender-diverse, LGBTQIA+, Aboriginal or Torres
Strait Islander, are living with disability, and/or are from an underserved
population to apply.

Best regards,
Adam
