Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom University of Leeds Full time

Would you like to help people in developing countries develop practical skills in radio astronomy? Do you have experience of radio antenna systems? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research-intensive Universities?

We are looking for someone to manage and help deliver the technical training to people in African countries that are part of the world's next generation radio telescope project, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA, ). This post is part of the Development in Africa with Radio Astronomy (DARA, ) funded by the UKRI's International Science Partnerships Fund.

The training of 60 students per year will take place at the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO) in South Africa and the Ghana Radio Astronomy Observatory (GRAO) in Ghana. The South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) are also facilitating the provision of two-element training interferometers in each of eight African SKA partner countries that will be used to develop local training in skills in radio astronomy and potential satellite downlink.

Holding a PhD (or have submitted your thesis before taking up the role) in technical radio astronomy, you will have experience of delivering training in topics related to radio astronomy and/or antenna systems. It is anticipated that you will attend three 2-week events per year in Africa.
