SUBJECT: Two astronomy positions at the AAO


The Anglo-Australian Observatory is currently advertising for
an AAO Research Astronomer (5 year appointment) and an
AAO Research Fellow (3 year appointment) within the Astronomy Workgroup:

http://www.aao.gov.au/local/www/jobs/

The closing date for applications to both positions is Friday 11 Dec  
2009.

Details of the roles and responsibilities of the positions, as well
as the application procedure, can be found on the above web page.

The Observatory comprises the 3.9-metre Anglo-Australian Telescope
and the 1.2-metre UK Schmidt Telescope near Coonabarabran, NSW, and a
laboratory in Epping, about 20km from the centre of Sydney.
The AAO is a vibrant and diverse centre of research, with a scientific
staff of 12 highly active and productive astronomers, as well as hosting
the Australian Gemini Office. Regular interaction with universities,
and a twice-yearly Vacation Student program for undergraduates, also
provides excellent student supervision opportunities.

Any questions about the positions can be directed to the Head of
AAT Science (ahopkins@aao.gov.au) and about the application
procedure to Suzanne Tritton (jobs@aao.gov.au).

The Anglo-Australian Observatory supports flexible working arrangements,
including part-time positions where appropriate, and is an equal
opportunity employer.
