SKAO Postdoctoral Researcher Machine Learning in Radio Interferometry

Postdoctoral Researcher on Machine Learning in Radio Interferometry

Datum: 20 maj, 2026 Tid: 11:59

Placering: SKAO

We seek an outstanding postdoctoral researcher with a background in computer science and/or radio astronomy to develop next‑generation radio interferometry image reconstruction techniques. We offer a 3‑year fixed‑term appointment based at the SKAO Global Headquarters in the UK.

We are seeking to employ a talented and motivated researcher to join an international collaboration on a joint ESO/SKAO‑funded project to develop deep‑learning‑based image reconstruction techniques for radio interferometry. This project will be based on ALMA data, with the aim of extending the developed algorithms for future use with SKA telescopes.

The 3‑year fixed‑term postdoctoral position will be based in the SKAO Global Headquarters located at Jodrell Bank in the UK.

An ideal candidate will have expertise in computer vision and radio astronomy (see the mandatory and desired qualifications sections below). We encourage candidates from other domains (for example, MRI/CT reconstruction, remote sensing, computational imaging, inverse problems in physics) to apply.

SKAO is committed to providing an inclusive and flexible working environment, meeting the requests of our Colleagues whilst also fulfilling the needs and objectives of the Observatory.

This role requires the post holder to work across different time zones and, in line with SKAO policy, flexible working hours will be supported in agreement with the line manager.
