CSIRO’s Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Future Science Platform is bringing together World-leading experts to explore scientific questions using machine learning techniques. The focus of this position is apply such techniques to identify rare and currently unknown classes of astrophysical objects in Parkes and ASKAP data sets. The EMU survey on ASKAP will be the largest radio survey yet attempted and increase the number of known radio sources from millions to tens of millions. The new receiver systems on Parkes are undertaking new deep and wideband surveys for pulsars and fast radio bursts, which also lead to copious data volumes. As well as hunting for astrophysical sources in these data sets, the postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to work on projects ranging across multiple science research areas.
