International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR)
The University of Western Australia (UWA) is ranked amongst the top 100 universities in the world and a member of the prestigious Australian Group of Eight research-intensive universities. With an enviable research track record, vibrant campus and working environments, supported by the freedom to ‘innovate and inspire’ there is no better time to join Western Australia’s top University.
About the team
ICRAR is a WA State funded high profile equal joint venture established in 2009 between Curtin University and The University of Western Australia (UWA). The Centre’s headquarters are located at UWA, with research nodes at both UWA and Curtin. ICRAR is one of the lead Australian organisations participating in the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Project. ICRAR has been further funded from 2019 to 2024 with $60 Million by the WA State Government and equal contribution from the Joint Venture Universities. ICRAR is one of the largest astronomy organisations in Australia.
The Data Intensive Astronomy group at ICRAR is focused on the development of the data management and processing technologies required for the SKA telescope and its precursors. The team includes researchers and software engineers with a diverse range of backgrounds in both astronomy and industry, and who are engaged in cutting-edge projects in pure computer science, as well as the cross-over between computer science, software engineering and astronomy.
About the opportunity
The Software Research Engineer will work within the Data Intensive Astronomy group to develop the existing prototype data reduction workflow for the radio-astronomy survey DINGO (www.dingo-survey.org) into an operational system, capable of dealing with the massive datasets collected by the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder. This work will involve the development and optimization of complex algorithms and will make use of next-generation Pawsey supercomputing resources.
The project is embedded within an established collaboration with Pawsey and the Australian SKA Regional Centre as part of the Pawsey Centre for Extreme Scale Readiness (PaCER) program, and the DINGO software system will be required to interface with those systems. The role will include participation in the development and implementation of the needed interfaces.
