The Centre’s headquarters are located at UWA, with research nodes at both UWA and Curtin. ICRAR is 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 $60 Million by the WA State Government and equal contribution from the Joint Venture Universities. ICRAR is one of the largest astronomy organisations in Australia.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">This position will join the Evolving Universe science unit at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR).</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\"><strong>About the opportunity</strong></p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">ICRAR currently have opportunity for two postdoctoral research associates within the 4MOST WAVES collaboration under Laureate Professor Simon Driver.</p>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Position 1: To lead the construction of the WAVES Galaxy Group Catalogue. </strong> You will interface with leading numerical simulation teams to devise and fine-tune an optimal algorithm for robust group, filament and void finding and apply this to WAVES and other comparable datasets (e.g., DESI-BGS and 4HS). Lead a science program related to galaxy groups, filaments and/or voids and their evolution based on 4MOST WAVES and associated (e.g., GAMA, DEVILS, SDSS, DESI-BGS and 4HS) data.</li>\n<li><strong>Position 2: To lead the construction of the panchromatic (X-ray to Radio) database.</strong> This will involve liaising with large international survey programs such as: eROSITA; the VRO LSST; ESA Euclid; and the SKA Pathfinders (ASKAP, MWA & MeerKat), and leading the effort to combine these data into coherent spectral energy distributions to extract their key physical parameters. You will oversee the construction of the SED database and the robust and routine extraction of physical parameters (supported by a Data Engineer, PhD and Masters students).
