Dear all,


The Carnegie Science Las Campanas Observatory (LCO), located in Chile’s
Atacama Desert, is one of the world’s premier astronomical observing sites,
renowned for its exceptionally dark skies, stable atmosphere, and
outstanding seeing. LCO enables cutting-edge research across a wide range
of astrophysical fields using a suite of powerful, state-of-the-art
telescopes, including the twin Magellan Telescopes (operated for a
consortium of institutions including Carnegie, Harvard, MIT, U. of Arizona,
and U. of Michigan), the du Pont telescope and the Local Volume Mapper
Instrument (LVM-I), which currently conduct the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V
(SDSS-V), and suite of other hosted facilities operated by different
world-class universities and institutions around the world. LCO is also
home to the Giant Magellan Telescope Observatory (GMTO), which is currently
under construction.

The observatory combines scientific excellence with a collaborative,
international research environment, offering its staff the rare opportunity
to work at the forefront of discovery while living and working in a place
of remarkable natural beauty. With a strong commitment to innovation,
safety, and professional growth, Las Campanas Observatory is an inspiring
setting for those passionate about advancing astronomy and supporting
world-class science.

telescope is currently in full survey mode. The focal plane is equipped
with state-of-the-art multi-fiber robotic positioners, whose fibers feed
the BOSS optical spectrograph and the APOGEE 2-S infrared spectrograph. The
Survey Operations Team also provides support for the Local Volume Mapper
Instrument (LVM-I), the widest-field integral-field spectrograph in the
world, which operates at LCO as a robotic facility.

The position is full-time, 7 nights in residence at the observatory and 7
nights off.  The position on offer is a one year fixed term, with the
possibility of annual renewal according to the continuity of the SDSS
project. The anticipated start date for this position is 17 March, 2026.
