We have recently installed a suite of modern instruments in the Altazimuth Pavilion at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, restoring our status as a working observatory on a limited basis for the first time in more than 60 years.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, outgoing and technologically capable individual with experience of using telescopes of varying designs including large (14” plus) telescopes and a background in astronomy photography (encompassing Solar System and Deep Sky), including image processing. The post holder must also have excellent communication skills, with experience of delivering public astronomy events to a range of audiences.

When conditions permit, this work will be primarily carried out from 18.15-21.15 on Tuesday evenings. However, the post holder must have enormous flexibility on this front. As this is a new role, it will be reviewed at the end of the year to make changes as necessary. They must be willing to work into the small hours of the morning on different days to capture images of particular targets if required.

Salary: £1,917-£2,500 per annum (£23,000-£30,000 pro rata)

 The Interview will be held on the 26th of November, with the expected start date of this position to be the 3^rd of December.
