OPO is also responsible for maintaining the observing schedule, for interacting with representatives of the ESO community for the coordination of observing time (e.g., Guaranteed Time Observations, Public Surveys), for handling the Director Discretionary Time Proposals and for providing statistics on time demand and allocation to ESO Governing Bodies and to high-level Officers in the Members States.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The Observing Programme Office Astronomer is responsible for supporting the preparation and selection of observing proposals and the scheduling of the selected observing runs for all ESO telescopes.

Further to this, the OPO Astronomer supports the recruitment of the Observing Programmes Committee and Panel members. He/she is responsible for fostering strong key relationships and maintaining good communication with the key stakeholders.
