[astro-jc] Tools Scientist Position at MSC, Caltech, California Réza Samadi
The Michelson Science Center (MSC) at the Infrared Processing and
Analysis Center (IPAC) announces an opportunity for a staff scientist
to lead the scientific effort in developing the MSC Tool Set -- a suite
of tools designed to support science users of the broad set science
missions and facilities within many of NASA's exo-planet projects: The
Space Interferometry Mission (SIM), the Keck Interferometer (KI), and
the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI). This MSC Tool Set
will aid the user community in getting the most efficient/effective
science from selected NASA Origins observing facilities, and will
exploit common science & technical themes among supported missions to
yield implementation efficiencies & science synergies. Please find more
information about the MSC and the projects we support at:
http://msc.caltech.edu
The position requires a PhD in Astronomy, Physics, or related
discipline plus four or more years of demonstrated experience in
optical/IR, millimeter-wave, or radio interferometry. The applicant
should have broad experience in the use of widely-available
astronomical software.
We particularly encourage applicants with significant experience and a
published record in optical/IR interferometry, astrometry, and/or
demonstrated experience in the development of widely-used astronomical
software. Demonstrated facility in modern programming notations and
software development methodologies is a plus.
The successful applicant will be a staff scientist at the MSC. As a
member of the MSC Tool Set development team, the applicant will provide
science leadership in defining the goals, requirements, documentation,
community advocacy, and look-and-feel of the development activity. The
selected individual will further contribute to the design, development,
and testing for the MSC Tool Set activity, and have a fraction of their
time reserved for independent research. Depending on the interests and
qualifications of the applicant, as much as 50% of the applicant's time
can be reserved for independent research using facilities such as the
Palomar Testbed Interferometer, the Keck Interferometer, and the
Palomar 5-m telescope.
Caltech is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Women,
Minorities, Veterans and Disabled Persons are encouraged to apply.
