About the position
Postdoctoral Fellow / Research Fellow
Undertake research and instrumentation development in Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics, with a particular focus on the ULTIMATE Ground Layer Adaptive Optics (GLAO) system for the Subaru Telescope and the Laser Tomography Adaptive Optics (LTAO) system for the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT).
Contribute to the design, development, integration and testing of advanced Adaptive Optics instrumentation, working collaboratively with researchers and engineers at ANU and with national and international partners. Your activities will include independent and collaborative research, publication and dissemination of results, instrumentation development, student supervision and outreach. You will also have opportunities to contribute to the development of new research directions and external funding.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in physics, astronomy, engineering or a related discipline and demonstrated expertise relevant to adaptive optics and instrumentation development, such as Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics, wavefront sensing or real-time computing. They will also have a strong record of research demonstrated through peer-reviewed publications and collaboration.
We highly value experience in the design, development, fielding or operation of adaptive optics systems on large astronomical telescopes, as well as knowledge of project management and systems engineering. The successful candidate will be an effective communicator and collaborative team member, able to work across disciplinary and institutional boundaries, contribute to student supervision and engage with the broader research community.
