> The National Research Council of Canada seeks an excellent radio
> astronomer to work with the CHIME/FRB consortium to help develop the
> software and hardware needed to develop, deploy, and use outrigger
> stations to localize the many Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) detected by
> CHIME/FRB.  CHIME, the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment,
> offers a unique combination of high sensitivity and wide field-of-view,
> and is rapidly becoming established as the dominant instrument in
> discovering new FRBs.  The next key step is to obtain accurate positions
> for those FRBs through long-distance interferometry, using “outrigger”
> stations at great distances from CHIME. There are a number of practical
> difficulties to be overcome, and the CHIME/FRB consortium is adopting a
> staged approach, deploying prototype outrigger stations near the CHIME
> site (the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory [DRAO] near Penticton,
> BC) to compare results from triggered data dumping and after-the-fact
> correlation against those from standard real-time interferometry.  Once
> this is proven more distant stations will be built to allow sub-arcsecond
> astrometry.  This postdoctoral fellow will work the CHIME/FRB consortium
> and the staff at DRAO to perform the early, proof-of-concept work, and to
> flesh out the design of the full-scale instrument.
> 
> Applications should be made by May 22, 2019.
