Master's Research Project: Calibration of Epoch of Reionization Observations with the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array

A master's level research opportunity in astronomy/astrophysics focused on improving spectral calibration of observations from the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array (HERA). The project involves using advanced calibration algorithms like CubiCal and SageCal to enhance foreground separation and detect the redshifted 21 cm signal from the early universe.

Who it is for: postgraduate students at Rhodes University pursuing a master's degree in astronomy or astrophysics
How to act on it: Apply through Rhodes University's postgraduate admissions process for a master's programme in astronomy, under supervision by Prof Oleg Smirnov and Prof Gianni Bernardi.
