[Everyone] PhD position at Swinburne University

[Adam Deller]

Hi pulsar enthusiasts,

(Apologies if you receive this via multiple distribution channels)

Swinburne University, CSIRO, and Fourier Space Pty Ltd are advertising a
PhD scholarship opportunity in the area of high performance digital signal
processing for radio astronomy. This full-time PhD position will undertake
research into signal processing techniques for multi-element phased array
feeds that are used for radio astronomy, employing commodity computation on
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).  Digital beamforming on phased array
feeds offers the opportunity to observe a wide field of view and
simultaneously undertake enhanced signal analysis, such as detecting and
removing radio frequency interference. In this way, astronomical signals
such as pulsars and fast radio bursts can be detected and analysed in real
time, despite the enormous (terabit per second) data rates involved. By
employing GPUs and a software-based approach, the candidate will prototype
new techniques and algorithms for integration into high-performance
pipelines at radio astronomy facilities.

This industry linked position has a highly competitive scholarship
(AU$46k/annum for up to 4 years, supplemented by a generous allowance of
$12k/annum towards project costs) and provides the opportunity for the
successful candidate to gain experience undertaking components of their
thesis work at both CSIRO and Fourier Space Pty Ltd. The ideal candidate
will have an interest in astronomical instrumentation and strong skills in
software engineering. Applications close Friday 22nd March 2024 - for more
information, please contact Prof. Adam Deller (adeller at swin.edu.au), and to
apply, head to

Best,
Adam
