Attention: A. Lewis, Personnel Office
The AIPS++ Project has a job vacancy at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory headquarters in Socorro, New Mexico. The duties will be to participate in the development of advanced visualization capabilities in AIPS++ building on top of the existing Display Library and other AIPS++ infrastructure. Development will focus on the display of information in two complementary domains, connected by a transform (such as Fourier transform or self-calibration) that is itself implemented in the AIPS++ Library. The position is funded by a grant from the NSF and is funded for two years.
Substantial experience in astronomical data reduction is required. Experience with radio-interferometry, and visualization is desirable. Knowledge of C++, Unix and experience of working in a large distributed software project would both be advantageous. Pursuit of research in either astronomy or astronomical techniques is expected (25% time).
Socorro is a small historic town (pop. 9000) in the mid Rio Grande valley of New Mexico. More information can be obtained from the Socorro Home Page at http://www.socorro.com.
Application deadline is February 1, 2001. Applicants should provide: letter of application, a current curriculum vitae, and the names of three references whom we may contact as necessary.
