Exploring the Universe with the world’s largest radio telescope http://www.skatelescope.org
SKA Organisation:
20 recruits to help shape
the future of Radio Astronomy
The Square Kilometre Array will be the world’s largest and most
sensitive radio telescope.
Scheduled to begin construction in 2017, thousands of linked radio
wave receptors will be located in Australia and in Southern Africa.
Combining the signals from the antennas in each region will create
a telescope with a collecting area equivalent to a dish with an area
of about one square kilometre which will address fundamental
unanswered questions about our Universe.
The Square Kilometre Array is a global science and engineering
project led by the SKA Organisation, a not-for-profit company with its
headquarters at Jodrell Bank Observatory, near Manchester, UK.
SKA Organisation will lead the SKA system design and oversee the
detailed design being undertaken within the globally distributed SKA
work package consortia.
To accomplish this goal the SKA Office is employing highly qualified
scientists and engineers, project managers and system engineers.
We are seeking outstanding individuals for the roles listed.
Benefits of employment include a generous company pension
scheme, 30 days holiday per year plus UK public holidays and
assistance in relocating to the UK.
