Radio Astronomy applies ‘STEM’ based disciplines to capture and analyse ultra-faint signals from the universe. In doing this, we push the boundaries of technology and techniques in electromagnetics, signal processing, software development, and radio frequency communications.

The Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy (CIRA) and The International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) deliver a dedicated Translation and Impact program (T&I) with a strong reputation for forging meaningful, mutually beneficial collaborations with industry to share our skills, knowledge, and expertise for mutual benefit. By collaborating with experts in other domains, we can help boost capability, train WA’s future workforce, grow businesses, and create jobs.

In this role, you will work with the Director, Translation and Impact to identify, develop, manage, and provide broad support to the technical experts who deliver on collaborative projects. You will develop a thorough appreciation of the capabilities and underlying skill sets of the team (including physics, electrical engineering, and data science), and matching them to opportunities for collaboration and impact outside of radio astronomy.
