Dear all,
I am very happy to share a new "Scientific Software Engineer" position
that has just opened up in CEFCA for the development of the data
reduction pipeline of European Space Agency (ESA's) newly approved
ARRAKIHS mission (to be launched in 2030), as well as other data from
our Astronomical Observatory of Javalambre (OAJ):
https://www.cefca.es/cefca_en/reference_0119
(For 2 years, deadline: January 15th 2024)
ARRAKIHS is expected to last until ~2035 and we will be applying for
future grants to keep the core pipeline team until the end of the project.
The job will be based in Teruel/Spain, which is a beautiful city
(recognized as a UNESCO World heritage for its "Mudejar" architecture).
Teruel just 1.5 hours from Valencia by car and with a population of
35000 people, everything is nicely within reach and you will not waste
hours every day in traffic or long commutes as in large cities! Our
observatory (OAJ) is also just 1.5 hours away by car (we have one of the
darkest skies with fewest cloudy nights in continental Europe)!
As the ARRAKIHS pipeline engineer, the successful applicant will also be
visiting other ARRAKIHS consortium members: IFCA/Santander, ESAC/Madrid;
UCM/Madrid, IAA/Granada, EPFL/Switzerland, Univ. Lund/Sweden, Univ.
Innsbruck/Austria.
The job will involve major developments in Gnuastro for the missing
features or things that can be improved for Low Surface Brightness
optimized reduction pipelines and high-level science from it (Gnuastro's
MakeCatalog for example).
Once tested in the ARRAKIHS/OAJ pipelines, all those features will be
brought into the core of Gnuastro for everyone to use in any pipeline!
This is thus a major development in Gnuastro's history!
Anyone with a B.Sc degree or higher can apply! So please share this
email with anyone you think may be interested. People with a M.Sc or PhD
are also welcome to apply; it is "scientific"/Research software engineer
position after all; and we expect to publish many papers on the
algorithms/tools that we develop.
If you can't wait to get your hands dirty, and want to improve your
profile for the application, there is a nice checklist in our Google
Summer of Code guidelines to help you get started and fix a bug or two
until the deadline to include in the application (you have almost two
months from now):

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions from me; I'd be happy to
clarify any questions you may have.
Cheers,
Mohammad
