Data Analyst

Applications are invited for a data analyst position in the Department of Astronomy at Indiana University, Bloomington. The data analyst will work with Dr. Liese van Zee on processing the wide field images obtained as part of the SMUDGES survey (see http://www.astro.indiana.edu/~vanzee/SMUDGES/ for more details). As the position will require reduction and processing of MOSAIC imaging data, the ideal candidate will have experience with optical imaging and analysis; experience with IRAF is preferred.

The position is for one year, with a possible second year extension subject to the availability of funding and performance. The position is available starting July 1, 2008, but the actual start date is negotiable. Qualified applicants must have at least a Bachelors degree by the date of appointment.

Applicants should send a resume, a written summary of previous research experience and skills, and arrange for letters of recommendation from three references to be sent to the above address. College transcripts are required for those applicants with less than five years experience. All inquiries and applications should be sent to Dr. van Zee. Applications received by March 5, 2008 will receive full consideration. Indiana University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Applications from women and minorities are particularly encouraged.
