SKA-Mid Commissioning Scientists
3 weeks ago
At the SKAO we are coordinating a global effort to deliver the next generation of radio telescopes. Headquartered in the UK, with telescope sites in Australia and South Africa, the SKAO will be one observatory operating two telescopes, an endeavour spanning three continents. The SKAO became an intergovernmental organisation in 2021. The two facilities cover different frequency ranges: SKA-Mid (350 – 15400 MHz) will be an array of dish antennas located in South Africa, while SKA-Mid (50 – 350 MHz) will use aperture array technology and will be constructed in Australia on Wajarri Yamaji country. Construction activities for the SKAO's telescopes started in 2021, along with a ramping up of SKAO staff in Australia and South Africa. The first interferometric test observations with SKA-Mid are expected in 2025. It is expected that the transition from the Construction Phase to the Operations Phase will happen around 2030. SKAO Operations in South Africa will be conducted in partnership with the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO). The Observatory will also partner closely with a global network of SKA Regional Centres through which astronomers will access science data products and a suite of tools and resources to further analyse the SKA telescopes' data. SKA-Mid is being built in the Karoo region of the Northern Cape. For more information on the SKA project visit This is a unique opportunity for talented and motivated radio astronomers to play major roles in the scientific commissioning of SKA-Mid, the world’s largest mid-frequency radio telescope. Appointees will take responsibility for specific technical areas, working under the direction of the Lead Commissioning Scientist, who will act as their functional and line manager. These roles are based in Cape Town, South Africa. There will be a requirement for international travel, particularly to the SKAO Headquarters at Jodrell
