Job Announcement Text: 

We invite applications for a four-year position to undertake an independent research program in the field of accretion and jet physics, working within the accretion physics group led by Dr James Miller-Jones. The proposed research should be aligned with or complementary to existing core research threads, which are centred around X-ray binaries and ultraluminous X-ray sources. The successful applicant will establish their own research program and contribute to student supervision, and will be expected to participate in competitive grant applications. Active engagement with new and upcoming facilities is strongly encouraged, including but not limited to the SKA and its precursor facilities, the MWA and MeerKAT.

Curtin University’s Institute of Radio Astronomy forms one half of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), a joint venture between Curtin University and The University of Western Australia, comprised of more than 100 researchers, administrative staff, and students, working on a broad range of radio astronomical science, instrumentation, and high-performance computing projects.

This Peter Curran Memorial Fellowship for Radio Astronomy Research has been provided by Curtin University in recognition of Peter’s commitment to the development of radio astronomy. Allowances to cover computing and approved travel for, e.g., observing trips, national and international meetings, will be available on a discretionary basis.
