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 largest astronomy institutions and 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 $25 Million by the WA State Government and equal contribution from the Joint Venture Universities. The Data Intensive Astronomy (DIA) program of ICRAR has secured a contract to participate in the software development of the SKA for the whole construction period until 2028.
We support flexible work arrangements to allow people to align their work duties with their family’s requirements and personal wellbeing. On the other side, since the SKA is a global project, we do have to attend meetings after hours and there will be the occasional overseas travel, once we can safely do that again.
About the opportunity
As the appointee you will, under general direction, work within the DIA program of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research. You will participate in the software development as part of the construction of the Square Kilometre Array project (SKA). You will also contribute to a range of other projects, both directly supporting and working with scientists, but also working with industry.
To be considered for this role, you will demonstrate:
About you
You need to be passionate to work in a globally distributed scientific software development project. You will be required to attend on-line meetings after hours and occasional in-person meetings overseas. You need to be an excellent team player in a diverse environment including various spoken languages, cultures and gender identities.
