Full Job Description
We are seeking a Research Assistant to join the Breakthrough Listen research group and contribute to innovative projects focused on lunar radio astronomy, phased-array telescope systems, and widefield sky surveys for technosignatures and transient radio phenomena.
The role will involve scientific modelling, data analysis, and research support activities associated with the Lunar Farside Technosignature and Transient Telescope (LFT3) programme and related Earth-based survey systems. The successful candidate will contribute to collaborative research projects, publications, and conference presentations within an internationally recognised research environment.
You will have a relevant undergraduate degree and research experience in a field such as physics, astronomy, engineering, computer science, or a related discipline, together with strong analytical and communication skills and experience of scientific or technical data analysis. This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career researcher to contribute to cutting-edge radio astronomy and SETI research within a collaborative international team.
