Postdoctoral Research Associate - Lunar Radio Astronomy

Job ID 3480 Date posted 11/21/2022

Brookhaven National Laboratory (www. bnl.gov) delivers discovery science and transformative technology to power and secure the nation's future. Brookhaven Lab is a multidisciplinary laboratory with seven Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, 37 R&D 100 Awards, and more than 70 years of pioneering research. The Lab is primarily supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science. Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) operates and manages the Laboratory for DOE. BSA is a partnership between Battelle and The Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University. BSA salutes our veterans and active military members with careers that leverage the skills and unique experience they gained while serving our country. Our organization fully supports service members transitioning from active duty to civilian life and pledge's our commitment to actively hire veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. Military personnel who have been formally trained or have relevant experience obtained while in service may meet educational requirements and are encouraged to apply for job opportunities at BSA.

Organizational Overview

The BNL Astrophysics and Cosmology Group has an opening for a Postdoctoral Research Associate beginning on or about April 1, 2023. BNL has contributed to the development of the Vera Rubin Observatory for over a decade as they designed and built rafts for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) camera. In addition, BNL maintained a strong presence within the Dark Energy Science Collaboration. In 2021, BNL was selected as the lead laboratory for the related LuSEE-Night project, a collaborative project between the DOE and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Position Description

A successful candidate will focus on the LuSEE-Night project, which will land a Dark Ages pathfinder experiment on the far side of the Moon. LuSEE-Night is scheduled to fly on the CS-3 mission of NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services in the second part of 2025. LuSEE-Night will demonstrate technical feasibility of the low-frequency (0.1-50MHz) radio observations from the far-side of the Moon. It will characterize the lunar far-side as a radio astronomy observatory and identify main sources of systematic errors for high precision observations. We are looking for a physicist to work on hardware, instrument development, and preparation for data analysis. Successful candidate will work with AnžeSlosar. You will enjoy a high level of interaction with an international and multi-cultural scientific community.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

·  Detailed characterization and testing of the analog/digital signal chain using laboratory measurements combined with numerical modeling.

·  Developing statistical models of the low-frequency radio sky and predicting the observed signal as a part of LuSEE-Night Science Collaboration.

·  Developing analysis methods and data reduction software to characterize galactic and extragalactic foregrounds and to extract Dark Ages constraints

·  Advancing new approaches to system calibration

·  Document and disseminate research results through publications and conduct research presentations at meetings and conferences.

Position Requirements

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

·  PhD in Physics, Astrophysics, Astronomy or a related field

·  Fluency in Python programming language

·  Familiarity with Github software development ecosystem

·  Demonstrated ability to perform research independently and as part of a research group
