Charlotte Sobey
Area of research:
Radio Astronomy / Astrophysics
Research project details:
Focussed on aspects of observational pulsar research using SKA pathfinder/precursor telescopes. In particular, using polarisation techniques, and the applications of investigating our Galaxy’s interstellar medium characteristics and structure, as well as the pulsar radio emission mechanism.
Location:
CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science, Kensington, WA
My expectations from a mentoring partnership:
The type of guidance I am looking for:
- Primarily career-related: learning about mentor’s work experiences since leaving CSIRO and possible avenues to look into for future career steps beyond research post-doc, either within research or beyond.
- Some general discipline experiences or information, particularly writing papers and related research tips.
- Also expanding professional network
How much support and time I would expect from my mentor:
- Between 6-monthly or yearly meetings, depending on availability and need
- Zoom, WebEx or similar would be useful for meetings, and email to communicate otherwise
- In person if it can be arranged in the future, but not essential
I would prefer a mentor in my research field, or a reasonably closely related research discipline, or a mentor with previous similar experience, if possible.
My general interests:
Astronomy, Dance (Ballet & Contemporary), Photography, Paddleboarding, Yoga
