Our group is recruiting exceptional postdocs and graduate students with an interest in 21cm cosmology, Fast radio transients, CMB polarization, and/or applied electrical engineering for low noise/fast digital precision instruments. Contact Prof. Dobbs to apply.
designs and builds new instrumentation for observational cosmology
deploys and operates its instruments wherever the observing conditions are best - from the geographic South Pole to the top of the Stratosphere
analyzes and interprets the data from these experiments to gain a better understanding of the origin, fate, and fundamental constituents of the Universe.
Simply stated, our mission is to make measurements that will help us better understand what the universe is made of, how it came to be, and how it will evolve.
