Research Scientist - Pasadena, United States - Caltech
Description
Caltech is a world-renowned science and engineering institute that marshals some of the world's brightest minds and most innovative tools to address fundamental scientific questions. We thrive on finding and cultivating talented people who are passionate about what they do. Join us and be a part of the diverse Caltech community.Job Summary
The Research Scientist will lead development for calibration and forward modeling of the DSA-2000 project. Calibration of the DSA-2000 will be carried out in real-time within the radio camera, simultaneously solving complex gains in multiple directions within the field of view of the telescope, within the framework of the radio interferometric measurement equation (RIME). Validation of the calibration performance and requirements (and other instrumental requirements) will involve full modeling of the response of the DSA-2000 radio camera to real-world conditions, including ionosphere, antenna effects, and terrestrial interference. Results of this "forward modeling" will be used to define requirements on hardware, antenna configuration, and processing algorithms.
The candidate can be based at either the Caltech campus or the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO), a world class facility operated by Caltech for research in radio astronomy, located near Bishop in central California. Remote work is acceptable, contingent on ability to effectively collaborate with colleagues at Caltech and OVRO. This role includes opportunities for growth through education and mentorship, as the project develops a user community.
