Job openings

There is a position of Domain Specialist in Signal 
Processing in the Central Design Integration Team. 
The CDIT is funded by the PrepSKA program. Under the direction of the 
International Project Engineer, Peter Dewdney, the CDIT and R&D specialists 
in the national and regional programs will, over the next 4 years, generate 
the SKA design for the first phase of construction, and an implementation 
plan for construction of the full SKA at low and mid-band frequencies. The 
successful candidate will play a key role in the system design in the 
crucial area of signal processing. This is an excellent opportunity for 
someone with a good understanding of the issues involved and a desire to be 
centrally involved in this global project.

The Remote Sensing Division of the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is seeking postdoctoral applications.  

The successful candidate will be  expected to carry out innovative research programs in 1. Any area of  astrophysics 

where existing or planned low-frequency radio observations (e.g., with [E]VLA, VLBA, Arecibo, GMRT, GBT, LWA, LOFAR)
 may contribute; 2. Radio astronomy hardware development, such as  antenna and receiver design and development, 

digital signal  processing, or radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation  techniques; or 3. Imaging and calibration 

algorithm development for the emerging suite of telescopes, including the Long Wavelength Array
 (LWA) and the EVLA.  Contact Joseph Lazio Joseph.Lazio@nrl.navy.mil  for more information.

There are two openings for postdocs at Case Western Reserve University;  one working on the South Pole Telescope, the other on the SPIDER balloon-borne instrument being built to search for B-mode polarization in the CMB.  Please contact John Ruhl, ruhl@case.edu, for more information.

Approximately 20 engineering, software and astronomical positions are available at NRAO in Charlottesville, VA, Socorro, NM, Green Bank, WV and Santiago, Chile.  The job descriptions and application information are listed in
