Offer Description
“High-precision pulsar timing and automation of ARGOS pulsar processing pipeline”
ARGOS
Astronomy is being transformed by surveys performed with instruments capable of searching the sky for multi-messenger signals with high speed and sensitivity, while delivering science-read datasets to the community. While radio astronomy is not yet fully participating in this revolution, an instrument following the same philosophy that would finally open the dynamic radio sky for exploration is not only urgent but inevitable. ARGOS is a concept (TRL2) for a leading-edge, low-cost, sustainable “small- D, big-N” radio interferometer that will realize this ambition, directly addressing multiple fundamental scientific questions, from the nature of dark matter and dark energy to the origin of fast radio bursts and the properties of extreme gravity. ARGOS will enable continuous wide-field monitoring of the sky at centimeter wavelengths while publicly distributing science-ready data and alerts in real time.
The HORIZON project “ARGOS Conceptual Design Study: Designing a Next-Generation Radio Facility For Multi-Messenger Astronomy (ARGOS-CDS)”, funded under the HORIZON-INFRA-2022-DEV-01 call, aims to conduct a comprehensive design study to
a) address all technological and scientific challenges related to the development of such an instrument b) prepare for its subsequent rapid implementation on European Grounds and
c) ensure its optimal integration into the network of existing and future international astronomical infrastructures
Within this project, we seek one (1) Software Engineer (pulsar timing) to lead the development of the ARGOS pulsar processing pipeline for the production science-ready pulse time-of-arrival datasets. The successful candidate will be expected to participate and lead European Pulsar Timing Array projects.
