We are seeking a highly skilled professional to join our dynamic team as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. This exciting opportunity is part of the NAGISA Project, a pioneering initiative focused on real-time atmospheric correction using ground-layer adaptive optics (GLAO) for astronomy and smart infrastructure applications.
The successful candidate will contribute to the development and deployment of cutting-edge algorithms and hardware systems, leveraging GLAO technologies in collaboration with the ULTIMATE-Subaru project team. This role involves theoretical modeling, experimental validation, and the integration of data from various sources.
Key responsibilities include:
* Developing advanced algorithms for real-time atmospheric correction
* Designing and implementing innovative hardware/software systems for astronomy and environmental monitoring applications
* Collaborating with national and international partners on instrumentation and data integration
* Conducting simulations and field tests to validate system performance
* Contributing to publications, reports, and presentations for academic and industry audiences
As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, you will be based in Macquarie University's new Australian Astronomical Optics (AAO) precinct, which hosts state-of-the-art engineering laboratories for instrumentation development.
The AAO precinct offers a collaborative environment that bridges astronomy and engineering, allowing researchers to engage with teams across the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences under the Macquarie's Astrophysics and Space Technologies Research Centre.
This is an excellent opportunity to work at the intersection of astronomy, optics, and environmental sensing, and to contribute to the translation of astronomical technologies into smart infrastructure solutions.
