Job description

This position has a term length of three years.

Location -   This role is hybrid with a mix of remote and in-person at North Campus, Edmonton.

Position Summary

The Astronomical Software Developers will join the research team building the Canadian Data-Intensive Astrophysics Platform (CanDIAPL), an international, university-led team based in Canada. They will be responsible for co-developing software infrastructure hosted on CanDIAPL servers operated with the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (Alliance) and the Inter-University Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy (IDIA). 

Primary tasks will include: creating a portal that enables remote users to view multi-messenger astrophysical data; and developing the software pipelines supporting automated transfer of scientific data from the MeerKAT telescope to Alliance computational facilities.

This work will include creating and maintaining specific software repositories that: retrieve and create images and other data from the MeerKAT telescope, the MWA Telescope, the Rubin Observatory, and other publicly available astronomical resources; use these data to detect astronomical sources; and transfer key data at dramatically reduced size to CanDIAPL servers operated with the Alliance.

The University of Alberta, its buildings, labs and research stations are primarily located on the territory of Nehiyaw (Cree), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Metis, Nakoda (Stoney), Dene, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and Anishinaabe (Ojibway/Saulteaux), lands that are now known as part of Treaties 6, 7 and 8 and homeland of the Metis. The University of Alberta respects the sovereignty, lands, histories, languages, knowledge systems and cultures of all First Nations, Metis, and Inuit.

The University of Alberta is a community of knowledge seekers, change makers and world shapers who lead with purpose each and every day. We are home to over 14,000 faculty and staff, more than 40,000 students and a growing community of 300,000 alumni worldwide.

Your work will have a meaningful influence on a fascinating cross-section of people - from our students and community members, to our renowned researchers and innovators, making discoveries and generating solutions that make the world healthier, safer, stronger and more just. Learn more.
