To that end I would like to bring a number of currently open job vacancies at ESO to the attention of you and your scientific/technical colleagues. While mindful of the complexities and challenges associated with taking up employment overseas at this time (see below), <i>these roles can open a pathway to rewarding careers for many years to come</i>. By virtue of Australia’s Strategic Partnership with ESO, applications from Australian citizens receive the same preferential status as those from citizens of ESO member states.<o:p></o:p></p><p
