The LAMOST (Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope) major scientific project of the National Astronomical Observatories is recruiting several information technology talents from the public. The positions mainly involve data-intensive astronomy research, database design and development, astronomical application software service development, data processing, data mining, numerical simulation, high-performance computing, algorithm optimization, website and webpage design and maintenance, astronomical data organization and management, and online science education.

The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) is a major national scientific engineering project. The construction was completed at the end of 2008, and it passed national acceptance in June 2009. It is currently in the trial observation phase. The LAMOST telescope is the largest and most advanced astronomical observation equipment built in China, and it is the telescope with the highest spectroscopic observation efficiency in the world. With a 4-meter aperture and a 5-degree field of view, it can observe 4,000 targets at a time, tens of thousands of targets per night, and generate dozens of GB of data. It can obtain several TB of scientific data annually. How to process, analyze, manage, publish, and mine such massive amounts of data is the challenge that the aforementioned talents will face.

If you meet the following conditions, you are welcome to contact us:

  1. Master’s degree or above;

  2. Strong accumulation in one or more of the following fields:

    Mathematical statistics and mathematical physics methods
    Astronomical data processing
    Database design and development
    Grid/Web service development
    Scientific numerical simulation and high-performance computing
    Software design and development
    System and network management
    Software project development and management
    Website and webpage design based on the LAMP architecture

  3. Good teamwork spirit and a willingness to work at the National Astronomical Observatories for a long term.

Candidates with an educational background in astronomy or a strong interest in the field will be given priority; those with project development and work experience will also be given priority.

Recruitment will be conducted according to the "Project-based Employment" (Xiangmu Pinyong) method of the National Astronomical Observatories. Hired personnel will enjoy the corresponding national professional and technical level benefits based on their education, work experience, and the results of negotiations between both parties.

If you are interested in the above positions, please send a resume with a recent photo and a work plan to "archive at lamost.org" (Note: Please replace this with the valid email address yourself) before April 18, 2010.
