[ASA] SKAO Science Operations Recruitment Opportunities

[Green, Jimi]

Dear Colleagues,

We currently have multiple Science Operations positions (x12) open across the three SKAO sites, SKA-Low in Perth, SKA-Mid in Cape Town and at the Global HQ in Manchester (please check the location of the roles in the job description; noting that one SKA-Mid Operations Scientist role is located at HQ).

Roles are primarily (x10) for SKAO employed Operations Scientists (suitable for, but not limited to, early to mid-career researchers). These roles are broadly responsible for astronomy support to operations, supporting the efficient delivery of the science program, facilitating interaction with the community and include a research component. These opportunities also include Senior roles with team leadership responsibilities and junior roles at SKA-Mid.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace culture, where you can balance a successful career with your commitments and interests outside of work, and very much welcome applications from traditionally under-represented groups, including women. As was noted at the IAU GA, we aim to recruit a gender balanced Science Operations team, with an aim of at least 5 of the current round of SKAO recruitments to be women.

Details and more information including how to apply can be found here:

With the exception of junior termed appointments in South Africa, all Operations Scientist roles are indefinite.

Additionally, we have two CSIRO employed Operator / Data Analyst roles (suitable for, but not limited to, those just about to complete honours/masters/PhDs). These roles are operations based without research components, which are broadly responsible for day-to-day telescope operations, monitoring of observations, quality assurance, plus some data analysis, and again include senior roles with team leadership responsibilities. Details can be found here:

Please feel free to contact Jimi Green (jimi.green at skao.int), Shari Breen (shari.breen at skao.int) and/or Sharmila Goedhart (sharmila.goedhart at skao.int)

All the roles close on the 13th September,

Kind regards,

Jimi Green, Shari Breen & Sharmila Goedhart
