Arc Grant-funded Researcher - Adelaide Region SA, Australia - The University of Adelaide
Description
Level A $91,402- 97,927 per annum plus an employer contribution of 17% superannuation applies.**
Fixed term position for 3 years
Research Associate opportunity with the University of Adelaide's IceCube team, to expand and further develop the existing research program in high-energy neutrino astrophysics.
With the over-arching goal of understanding the nature and distribution of neutrino sources throughout the Universe, research areas could include: development of advanced event energy and direction reconstructions; methods for interpreting the structure in the neutrino sky map, and how this is influenced by the number, class and distribution of sources through the Universe; analysis of existing data sets; and calculations of the sensitivity of IceCube-Gen2.
Physics at Adelaide also hosts Australia's leading astrophysics programs in cosmic rays (Pierre Auger Observatory) and gamma rays (H.E.S.S./CTA), as well as programs in direct dark matter detection (SABRE), gravitational wave detection (LIGO) and astrophysics theory.
There will be numerous opportunities to collaborate across these areas to advance the multi-messenger approach to understanding the nature of the high-energy Universe.
To be successful you will need:
- A commitment to develop an innovative research programme in high energy neutrino astrophysics with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory
- Advanced computational skills, including demonstrated ability to develop computer codes for the simulation and analysis of data from astrophysics and/or physics experiments.
- A willingness to travel for conferences, meetings and longer collaborative visits to international institutions in the IceCube Collaboration
- A desire and ability to cosupervise, motivate, and mentor research students at undergraduate and PhD level
- An ability to work in close collaboration with others.
