The scintillometry group spans faculty at the University of Toronto (CITA, DAA and Dunlap) and a vibrant group of postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students. Local resources include the CHIME telescope, the Algonquin 46m, 10m, and DRAO 26m telescopes, as well as computing on a 65536 core BGQ and the 60,000 core Niagara supercomputers in Toronto.</div><div style="margin: 0.25em 0em; padding: 0.25em 0em; line-height: 1.3em;" class="">Applicants should have a PhD in a relevant field and have demonstrated understanding of baseband voltage signals, first principles VLBI calibration and the HPC skills required to manipulate multi-petabyte VLBI baseband data sets using standard (e.g. DiFX, SFXC, dspsr) and custom software (e.g. <a href="https://github.com/mhvk/baseband" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(3, 47, 125);" class="">https://github.com/mhvk/baseband</a>)</div><div style="margin: 0.25em 0em; padding: 0.25em 0em; line-height: 1.3em;" class="">The fellow will live in Toronto, a safe, lively and diverse cosmopolitan city.</div><div style="margin: 0.25em 0em; padding: 0.25em 0em; line-height: 1.3em;" class="">Funds will be available for travel and other research expenses.
