The LINCC Frameworks Team at the University of Pittsburgh is seeking to hire a full-time Project Scientist who will lead the development, testing and deployment of scalable analysis pipelines to enable science on data from the next generation of sky surveys, including the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and the Schmidt Observatory System. We seek computationally talented scientists with a background in astronomy who are ready to work with early adopters of these software platforms for this position, which will hold the rank of non-tenure-stream Research Assistant Professor. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in astrophysics or a closely related field and a strong computational background. The LINCC Frameworks team’s goal is to build analysis frameworks that can store, search, analyze and annotate data of the volume and complexity of next-generation data from surveys such as LSST. As a Project Scientist you will...
