Keck, which operates the world's two largest optical/infrared telescopes,
seeks an Interferometer Scientist to work at its headquarters in Waimea
on the Big Island of Hawaii and on the summit of Mauna Kea. This is a regular
position with relocation assistance and a complete and competitive benefits package
The successful candidate will be a member of a team developing and operating
the Keck Interferometer. This project is funded by NASA and is being built as
collaboration between Keck and the Jet Propulsion Lab. The Interferometer
currently combines the light from the two Keck telescopes to do visibility
science. The Keck Interferometer is part of the NASA Origins program and
as such the goals are primarily the detection of planets and providing
information for future space-based interferometers. Specific future science
goals include: exozodiacal dust detection by nulling the light from the two
Kecks and differential phase with the Kecks to detect hot Jupiters. Further
information can be found at
http://planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov/Keck/keck_index.html.
The Interferometer Scientist (IS) will join a group of Interferometer
Specialists who play a central role in the development, operation, and
maintenance of the Keck Interferometer. The IS has responsibility for
ensuring that the Interferometer is achieving its scientific potential
on a routine basis. The IS will play a lead role in the commissioning,
handover and operation of the Interferometer science modes and will provide
a science perspective to help guide the operation and continued development
of the Interferometer.
The requirements for this position include: A PhD level degree in astronomy,
or equivalent experience, astronomical and/or technical expertise with
interferometry, a valid Hawaii driver's license, and two years of relevant
experience in the use of scientific instrumentation for astronomical research.
Desirable qualifications include: Optical engineering expertise; previous
experience in an observatory setting; a proven track record in the optimization
of instrumentation for astronomy; and experience in the use of data
visualization and analysis software.
Employment is conditional on successful completion of a high altitude physical
and drug tests. Fax (808 885-4464) or mail resumes, references, and salary
history to: Interferometry Scientist, Keck, 65-1120 Mamalahoa Highway,
Kamuela, HI 96743, or employment@keck.hawaii.edu. This position is open
until filled. EEO/M/F/D/V http://www.keckobservatory.org
