[ASA] Call for interest in position of MWA Assistant Director

[John O'Byrne]

Assistant Director, Murchison Widefield Array

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a low frequency SKA Precursor
telescope, currently in the final stages of construction at CSIRO's
Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory (MRO) in Western Australia.  As
commissioning of the partially complete array will commence in August
2012, and practical completion of the final 128 element array is
expected in November 2012, the MWA project will soon be seeking to
employ staff to manage and operate the facility from approximately mid
2013.  As such, the MWA Director is seeking expressions of interest in
the position of MWA Assistant Director.  This position is expected to
entail responsibility for MWA operations and facility management and
is expected to be filled by a scientifically active individual.  The
position would be based at Curtin University in Perth, Western
Australia, and is expected to commence in the first half of 2013.  The
period of the appointment will depend on the level of operations
funding available at the time, but is expected to be a fixed term
appointment of between 1 and 5 years initially.  The level of the
appointment is expected to be at Academic Level D or E (Associate
Professor or Professor), depending on qualifications. Confidential
enquiries regarding this upcoming opportunity can be made via email or
phone to the MWA Director, Prof. Steven Tingay (s.tingay at curtin.edu.au
or +61 (0)8 9266 3516).
