Subject: Open position for GPS/GIPSY expertise

 
 The Division of Geological and Planetary Science at Caltech is looking 
 to hire a GPS geodesy staff member to work with data from a wide variety 
 of networks.  While this person does not have to have GIPSY experience, 
 we expect that the successful candidate will learn GIPSY since they will 
 work in close collaboration with JPL.  The connection to JPL should be 
 viewed as an opportunity since the person will have access to a large 
 number of people with very different expertise.  Some facility with 
 modern computing systems is desireable since data management will be 
 non-trivial.  We are already in the process of validating an 
 installation of GIPSY on a large Beowulf cluster.  I believe that the 
 salary will be in the $50K-$80K range depending on experience.  The 
 position is open immediately.
 
 Please feel free to pass this information on to relevant candidates.
 
 Interested individuals should contact Jean-Philippe Avouac 
 (avouac@gps.caltech.edu).
