                       Scientific Staff Appointment

   The National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) invites applications
   for an appointment in Socorro, New Mexico.  Requirements include a
   Ph.D in astronomy, astrophysics, physics, or related field as well
   as significant experience in using and programming in AIPS.  We are
   particularly interested in applicants with VLBI experience.  The
   initial appointment will be for a period of three years, with the
   possibility of extension and eventually a permanent appointment,
   including tenure.  A postdoctoral appointment may also be considered
   for a recent Ph.D.  All members of the NRAO scientific staff are
   expected to maintain a vigorous program of individual independent
   research as well as contributing to the operation and future
   development of the Observatory as a national facility.  The new
   appointee will provide technical and scientific support for the VLA
   and VLBA, including advising and assisting scientists using the AIPS
   package, as well as developing, testing and using new hardware and
   software.
