Position Location Deadline Control/Mechanical Engineer - Vibration Specialist Garching 26 Sep 2021 ESO Supernova Technical Coordinator Garching 2 Oct 2021 Grants Officer Garching 30 Sep 2021 Mechanical Engineer Cryogenics (2 positions) Garching 25 Sep 2021 Mechanical Engineer Garching 25 Sep 2021 Technical Draftsperson Garching 25 Sep 2021 Electronics/Detector System Engineer Garching 1 Oct 2021 Observing Programmes Office Astronomer Garching 30 Sep 2021 The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is the foremost intergovernmental astronomy organisation in Europe and the world's most productive ground-based astronomical observatory. ESO carries out an ambitious programme focused on the design, construction and operation of powerful ground-based observing facilities enabling astronomers to make important scientific discoveries at various sites in Chile, and its headquarters in Garching, Germany. Australia has a 10 year Strategic Partnership enabling it to access ESO telescopes at La Silla Paranal Observatory, including the world-leading 8 metre Very Large Telescope. Australians may also apply for positions with ESO across all its operations on the same basis as member states. Working at ESO gives Australians exposure to sophisticated scientific and engineering skills and helps build formal and informal networks with European astronomers, engineers and colleagues in other big science organisations. Further details are available at ESO's Recruitment Portal. Applicants should be aware that: * There are currently Australian Government general bans on overseas travel by Australians during the COVID-19 emergency. Individuals may be able to apply for exceptions, if moving off-shore for your business/employer, but that would depend on the nature of the reasons and documentary evidence of circumstances. Each application would be assessed by The Australian Border Force (ABF) Commissioner, on a case-by-case basis. * There are entry restrictions for individuals returning to Australia, and mandatory quarantine, which may be at the traveller's own cost. * Travellers will need to comply with visa and other entry requirements for their destination country. You can stay up to date with changes by consulting https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations for your planned destination. * Flights to and from Australia may be difficult to book, and travel restrictions and regulations may change at short notice. * The COVID-19 situation in overseas countries changes daily, and there may be local or national lock-downs, quarantine, curfews and domestic travel bans. * Consular support for Australians overseas may be limited in some locations due to tight restrictions on local services and movements, including for Australian embassy staff. * Many travel insurance policies won't cover claims relating to COVID-19. Read insurance policies carefully to know what will and won't be covered.
