Scientific paper

Assignment: The first components of the VLT Interferometric Array (VLTI), including the science instruments MIDI and AMBER, are currently being commissioned. Scientific operations of the VLTI are expected to start in the first half of 2004. The successful candidate will support observing operations in both visitor and service mode at the VLTI. The tasks to be performed include the short-term (flexible) scheduling of queue observations, the calibration and monitoring of the instruments, and the assessment of the scientific quality of the astronomical data. The VLTI astronomer will contribute to the challenge of operating a world leading astronomical facility so as to optimize its scientific output, will acquire expert knowledge of novel instrumentation and techniques, and may be given the overall responsibility for an instrument.
