This document provides the approved layout for fire and escape signage on the first floor of a building at Blackboard Park Ray T, including exit signs, room numbers, stairwell markers, and fire safety equipment symbols. It is intended to guide contractors during installation.
A research opportunity for a postgraduate student to pursue a Master's degree in engineering at the University of Cape Town, focusing on implementing WOLA filterbanks in hardware (FPGA or GPU) to reduce spectral leakage in radio astronomy signal processing and improve efficiency in logic usage. The project may be upgradable to a PhD if interest in auto-tuning arises.
This opportunity is for a master's student to undertake a research project focused on designing a reduction pipeline for the TART radio telescope. The pipeline will serve as an educational tool to teach interferometry at the postgraduate level in South Africa. It will include creating a measurement set converter for TART data to work with CASA software and exploring the possibility of porting the pipeline to an FPGA.
This opportunity is for a doctoral candidate to pursue advanced research in physics focused on developing coherent optical techniques for transmitting frequency reference and data signals over long-distance optical fibre networks, specifically for use in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope. The project will be conducted at Nelson Mandela University with supervision from Professor Tim Gibbon.
This opportunity allows a postgraduate student to pursue a Master's research project focused on developing an optimized computational solver for complex antenna arrays used in radio astronomy, particularly those relevant to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The project involves advanced numerical methods and high-performance computing.
A PhD student can apply to conduct research on developing a broadband cooled radio astronomy receiver covering the X- and Ku-bands. The project aims to replace legacy receivers at HartRAO's 26m dish and involves designing and testing RF front-ends, monolithic integration, digital back-end design, and evaluation under real conditions.
This opportunity allows a master's student to conduct research under the supervision of Dr Spesihle Makhathini and Dr Sarah White at Rhodes University. The project involves using high-resolution MeerKAT radio images to identify the host galaxies of 140 bright extragalactic radio sources from the GLEAM 4-Jy Sample. The research will contribute to understanding how radio jets are launched and their impact on host galaxies, and will prepare data for future studies with the Square Kilometre Array.
This opportunity allows a Master's student to propose and conduct research into giant pulses from millisecond pulsars in binary systems using the MeerKAT radio telescope. The project involves analyzing data from the MeerTIME MSP census to investigate emission amplification during eclipses and study the magnetospheres of these pulsars.
A postgraduate research opportunity for a Master's student in Astronomy or Astrophysics to conduct a study on the cold neutral atomic gas (HI) in the Norma cluster using the MeerKAT telescope. The project focuses on understanding how the cluster environment affects galaxy evolution, particularly through gas depletion and star formation suppression.
The National Research Foundation is exempted from certain sections of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, allowing it to remove minerals within its jurisdiction for the construction and maintenance of roads and infrastructure related to the Square Kilometer Array project.
This opportunity allows a postgraduate student to pursue a Master's-level research project focused on developing a drone-based system to measure and record signal strength from a central transmitter. The project aims to improve the accuracy of signal predictions for SKA operations and RFI mitigation by using real-time measurements.
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.
