DATE: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:19:12 +1100 SUBJECT: Curtin University of Technology: Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in physics (continuing) Curtin University of Technology: Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in physics (continuing position) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A continuing position is currently available in the Department of Imaging and Applied Physics at Curtin University of Technology, at Lecturer/Senior Lecturer level. The appointee will undertake Research within an existing research group in the Department of Imaging and Applied Physics. Teaching will include the development and delivery of senior core physics subjects within courses conducted by the Department. One of the major areas of research strength in the Department is astronomy and astrophysics, through the Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy (CIRA). Applications for this position from astronomers and astrophysicists are therefore very welcome. CIRA currently consists of approximately 30 staff, students and associates and is Joint Venture partner in the $100m International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), along with The University of Western Australia. The astrophysics research scene in Perth is therefore dynamic and growing, with ICRAR set to double the number of astrophysics researchers in Perth within the next two years. The $100m Australian SKA Pathfinder, the $20m Murchison Widefield Array, and the $80m Pawsey HPC Centre for SKA Science, along with ICRAR, make Perth a resource-rich location for astronomy research. A broad range of opportunities exist within CIRA and ICRAR and potential applicants are encouraged to contact Prof. Steven Tingay at CIRA/ICRAR to discuss (Steven.Tingay@icrar.org). A position description and application materials are available on the Curtin website: http://futurestaff.curtin.edu.au/job-vacancies.cfm (position reference number 1160). Applications are due on November 23. -- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Professor Steven Tingay Premier's Fellow Deputy Director ICRAR Deputy Director Western Australian Radio Astronomy Centre of Excellence Director, Science and Operations Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy Department of Imaging and Applied Physics Curtin University of Technology Bentley, Western Australia Australia Street address: Brodie Hall building 1 Turner Ave Technology Park Bentley 6102 Western Australia Email: s.tingay@ivec.org OR s.tingay@curtin.edu.au WWW: http://astronomy.curtin.edu.au Phone: +61 (0)8 9266 3516 Mobile: +61 (0)425 771 856
