About the opportunity

The University of Sydney’s School of Physics is soliciting applications for a Researcher in Astrophotonics and Astronomical Instrumentation at Astralis-USyd .

This exciting role at Astralis-USyd (one of 3 nodes of Australia’s Astronomical Instrumentation Consortium, Astralis) is part of a major astrophotonics initiative launched from the University of Sydney as the lead institution in an international collaboration involving several observatory and university partners worldwide. We aim to produce next generation astronomical instruments founded on photonics technologies. Our group is an established world leader in astrophotonics, having pioneered instruments for photonic interferometry, nulling, wavefront sensing and spectroscopy at the world’s leading telescopes. The successful candidate will join our vibrant interdisciplinary team tackling some of the biggest challenges in observational astronomy by way of innovative technological solutions.

Your key responsibilities will be to:

develop and build innovative astrophotonic instruments, and their core technologies, for groundbreaking astronomical science in high-contrast and high-angular-resolution imaging
implement and test novel instrument concepts based on astrophotonic technologies (including the photonic lantern and photonic integrated optics), by way of computer simulations, laboratory prototyping and on-sky testing
perform detailed laboratory characterisation of astrophotonic components, including designing robust experimental procedures and analysis of data
contribute to novel data analysis and/or instrument control code, leveraging advances in machine learning and real-time control
fabricate robust instrumentation or photonic components for use at 8m-class and future ELT-class observatories
perform lead roles instrument development projects, including coordinating with scientists, engineers, observatories and other stakeholders to ensure optimum outcomes
deliver outcomes in a timely way to meet milestones in the funded instrumentation projects.
