Steward Observatory Mountain Operations Summer Student
Steward Observatory Mountain Operations Summer Student
The Mountain Operations Summer Student is a temporary summer position intended for UA undergraduate students to help with the general upkeep of, and annual improvement projects for Steward Observatory's telescope sites in the Santa Catalina Mountains on Mount Bigelow and Mount Lemmon and at the 90" Optical Telescope Site on Kitt Peak. The Summer Student will be engaged in a wide range of activities that include, but are not limited to, general building upkeep, painting, structural repair, grounds keeping, minor household-type plumbing and electrical projects, roof patching and coating, road maintenance, barbed wire fencing, supply room organization, telescope and dome maintenance, and other duties as assigned. A good fraction of the work involved will be outdoors at high elevation sites in the mountains surrounding Tucson. Transportation to Kitt Peak will be provided from campus and to the Catalinas from the intersection of Catalina Highway and Tanque Verde Road. This position is for up to 20 hours per week during the Summer Session. If interested, please send a copy of your resume and cover letter to Barbara Abril (babril@arizona.edu).

Job opening at Areté
Job opening at Areté
I want to let you know that we have an opening at my company (Areté) for someone with a BS or MS in Physics, Mathematics, and/or Computer Science. I have attached a description of the position, which is the same information that is posted on our website. I have provided the links to our website and the job posting below.
We need someone with a math or physics background, but they also need software coding skills. This position will support our simulation lab, which will involve developing physical models, integrating them into our simulation software, and running the simulations. We are developing simulations using the Unreal Engine framework, along with some specialized acoustic simulation software.
In the past we have been impressed with students from the Physics and Math departments, including Scott McKinley (Physics/Math), Ben Seckeler (Math/CompSci), and recently, Micaila Marcelle (Applied Math/CompSci). We hired Scott, Ben was an intern, and Micaila turned down our offer and is pursuing a PhD (good for her, bad for us 😉). So, I would be thrilled to have someone from the U of A come work with us.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
