JOB (SHORT CONTRACT): Computer Programmer (School of Mathematics & Statistics)

Job Title: Computer Programmer
Contract Type: Fixed term for 3 months (Full Time)
Faculty: Faculty of Science
Department: School of Mathematics & Statistics
Salary: Grade 6 £25,728- £28,094 per annum
Closing Date: 12/06/2018 (or 2 weeks from date posted for advert)
Start Date: As soon as possible

Summary:

Applications are invited for a three-month Computer Programmer to work in the School of Mathematics and Statistics (SoMaS). The opportunity arises following the award of IIKE funding to Professor Lucy Wyatt.

We have software written mostly in C which takes radar data from a monostatic radar system (co-located receiver (Rx) and transmitter (Tx)) located on the coast looking at the ocean and converts it into ocean wave, current and wind measurements. The software solves an integral equation amongst other things. We have the theoretical basis for extending this to a bistatic radar system (Rx and Tx separated) and we want to modify our existing code to handle this configuration. The successful candidate will carry out this modification working closely with the PhD student who developed the bistatic formulation and Prof. Wyatt. 

You will have experience in Mathematical Programming in C, as well as familiarity with Linux operating systems (preferably debian/ ubuntu). A good background in Mathematics is also desirable and candidates are likely to have completed- or be working on- an undergraduate or postgraduate degree in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or Engineering.

Applying:

In order to apply, please email your CV and an accompanying statement to Professor Lucy Wyatt (l.wyatt@sheffield.ac.uk).

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to partake in an interview.

Happy Birthday Hubble! IOP Public Lecture Tuesday 18 February 2020

Image
IOP Public Lecture by Dr Stephen Wilkins, University of Sussex Tuesday 18 February 2020, 5pm | Venue Hicks Lecture Theatre 7 The Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit almost 30 years ago. Thanks in part to its unique position above the Earth 's atmosphere and five manned servicing missions it has maintained its position as one of the world’s premier observatories to this day. Over its 30 year career Hubble has had an unprecedented scientific and cultural impact; discoveries extending from the outer Solar System to the edge of the observable Universe have revolutionised our understanding of astronomy and cosmology while its spectacular images have inspired the wider public’s wonder. Stephen will introduce Hubble and present some of its scientific highlights including its role in revealing the presence of the Dark Energy, to the imaging of planets outside our own solar system. He will also discuss Hubble’s upcoming successor, the Webb Telescope which is due to be l
