Arecibo Observatory Telescope Systems Specialist

The National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center is seeking to fill a software
development position at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The
Telescope Systems Specialist will work with the Observatory's scientific &
engineering teams to provide technical support for instrumental control,
data acquisition, and data analysis; will assist in decision making and
project planning; identify & monitor telescope data for problems that might
affect the functioning and performance of engineering subsystems; propose
and implement solutions as appropriate. The position requires working at
the interface between astronomers who use the Arecibo 305 m radio telescope
and the details of antenna pointing, data acquisition, etc. A major
responsibility will be the continued development of CIMA, the user
interface for most astronomical observations. CIMA allows both local and
remote operation of the telescope and is under continuous development to
support the addition of new observational programs and instrumentation.
Minimum requirements for the position are a bachelor's degree in computer
science or related field and at least five years experience, with knowledge
of the Linux operating system and high-level languages such as C, Tcl/Tk &
Perl. Experience with astronomical observations and software is strongly
desired. The successful candidate will be an employee of Cornell University
and eligible for the relevant University benefits. Candidates with a PhD in
a relevant field are encouraged to apply and would be considered for an
academic appointment. Enquiries and applications should be addressed to Dr.
Michael Nolan, Director, Arecibo Observatory, HC3 Box 53995, Arecibo, PR,
00612; Nolan@naic.edu. Applications will be considered starting February
1, 2010. Cornell University is an equal opportunity and affirmative action
employer.
