The opportunity
The Bolton Research Scientist is Australia's longest standing prize fellowship, and provides an outstanding opportunity for research in Australia. As the Bolton Research Scientist, you will be well supported to build upon your strong emerging career as an independent researcher. You will engage in scientific activity ranging from fundamental research, through to the investigation of specific industry or community problems. In this prestigious early career role, you will undertake independent research and/or development in any area relevant to the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) observational capabilities.
Previous Bolton Fellows and Scientists are now engaged in successful careers with organisations such as the NRAO in the US, the SKAO in the UK, and ASTRON in the Netherlands, with others founding thriving start-up companies in Australia and abroad. To our great advantage, many Bolton recipients have remained with CSIRO’s Space and Astronomy business unit, and continue to grow and thrive in careers at the ATNF.
CSIRO Space and Astronomy is committed to providing a safe and inclusive work culture and implementing initiatives to improve diversity and equity within our workplaces. This role is offered on a full‐time, part‐time or job share basis. Note that visa sponsorship may not be available for part-time appointments.
