The Submillimeter Telescope Observatory is a collaboration between the Max- Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie, Bonn, Germany and Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona. Located at 3200 m altitude and 200 km from Tucson, Arizona on Mount Graham, the telescope began routine operation in early 1996. The Submillimeter Telescope will concentrate on observations in the wavelength range 0.3-1.2 mm with the use of advanced SIS receivers and 3He-bolometer systems. A position is available immediately for a Staff Scientist to join the small team which will be responsible for the operation and support of the observatory. We seek a person with a submillimeter technology background especially with the design of receiver systems and gaussian beam optics. Observing experience for support of the telescope operation and to assist visiting observers is important. A Ph.D is required. The successful candidate will be employed by The University of Arizona. This non-tenure track position is subject to annual renewal based upon satisfactory performance. Title and salary will be commensurate with experience. Locations of work are Tucson and Mount Graham. The application review process will begin September 1, 1998. Please send a curriculum vita, a statement of experience and interest, together with the names of three references to:
