Telescope Array Controller - Job

[astroimpulse]

Just thought, in case any of you were looking for a job and were qualified, there's a cracking job going at The University of Manchester working, among others, at Jodrell Bank Observatory.

Telescope Array Controller - EPS/11958 (The University of Manchester)

Don't ask how I came across this!

You know this is just the kind of job I wouldn't mind getting after I finish my planned astrophysics degree in a couple of years time, that is assuming that such is a job isn't out of reach to someone fresh out of uni. I suppose a couple years worth of relevant work experience would help in becoming a good candidate for that post.

They're asking for HNC/HND so a degree is further up the scale

Your course could easily be used as 'relevant work experience' if you've done any field work or research etc. Or anyone else considering it.

But as you're not finished for a few years it would be a stretch. Even with shift hours etc.

Doh! There's me not even understanding the qualification levels

That is definitely a job I would consider when I eventually do (and hopefully complete) my degree. Probably looking too far in to the future from now and expecting too much as I have a load to achieve before even starting at uni, let alone the degree course, but it looks good

Ive got an HNC in Engineering....Hummmm I wonder?.....Manchester is a bit far away for me tho..

I think I would want a bit more than the £3K gross shift allowance for what sounds like a rotating shift pattern and covering 24/7, 365 days...
