                     Map the Unseen Universe

The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) Project is looking for
talented and enthusiastic professionals to join our team in
exploring and documenting stars and galaxies as they have never
been seen before.

EUVE is a NASA satellite that launched on June 7, 1992.
Its four telescopes were designed and built at the Space Sciences
Laboratory of the University of California, Berkeley. These
high-tech instruments are scanning the sky in the first-ever study
of the extreme ultraviolet, a band of the spectrum that cannot be
seen from Earth. Discoveries await us in this previously unexplored
region of space.

Among the challenges of the EUVE mission is the development of
software to interpret the data gathered by the satellite. This
software will be used to study the entire sky, creating a map of
the locations and intensities of stars and other astronomical
sources emitting EUV radiation, and to convert photon events into
meaningful data for in-depth scientific study.


Scientific Programmer
Box #08-106-11

The Center for EUV Astrophysics, University of California, 
Berkeley, seeks candidates for the position of Scientific Programmer 
(Programmer/Analyst II) with the EUVE Guest Observer Program.
Responsibilities will involve working closely with
a small team of scientists and programmers on the EUVE Project in
the development and maintenance of software designed to handle data
from the EUVE instrumentation.  Using C, FORTRAN, and SPP languages
on a network of Sun workstations under the Unix operating system,
existing software will be modified.  New software to solve complex
science data analysis tasks will be developed, and most of the
software will be supported in the IRAF environment.  Each programmer
is responsible for documentation of his/her code written.  This
documentation will be of a technical nature, but user guides and 
cookbooks will be composed, as well.  

Required:
Background in a related field such as computer science, physics or math.
Demonstrated scientific programming ability, with C programming experience.
Experience with the UNIX operating system, image analysis and display 
algorithms.  Familiarity with Sun workstations, X-windows, FORTRAN, and
networking systems highly desirable.  Familiarity with databases, SYBASE 
in particular, desired. Knowledge of IRAF and SPP preferred.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae and names
of three references, and should be submitted by August 28.
