BTW, did I mention ALMA is now officially 12 years old? On March 13th, 2013, ALMA was famously commanded by then President Sebastián Piñera to point to the galactic center!

Since then, ALMA has been delivering stunning science year after year, and during Cycle 10 we managed to provide more than 4250 hours of quality data to our Principal Investigators, our highest number ever!

More on our 12 year anniversary at alma.loadingediciones.cl/dev/1

A picture of a celebratory cake with white frosting on a small table, with 12 ALMA-like antennas on top, together with 12 stars, and ALMA and 12 written in bold blue letters. Behind, a larger table has a round cloth with a white ALMA-like antenna printed on it, surrounded by white, light blue, and dark blue balloons with stars. That cloth is surrounded by additional things to eat, like plates of fruit, parfaits, jellies, and other delicacies.

We're hiring again! Now we're looking for an Science Archive Content Manager (aka SACM). This person will be a mamber of the Data Management Group, and will be integral on creating useful science data from the raw data generated by the observatory. And in the WSU era, they will be providing expertise on how to best reduce the data.

For that, we're looking for someone with a Master's degree in astronomy with minimum three years of relevant working experience. A PhD degree will be considered an asset.

The successful candidate must have experience in data processing of astronomical data, with a good command of Unix/Linux. If they have experience in sub-mm/radio interferometric and/or single-dish data reduction, and Python programming skills, that will be an asset

Of course, she or he must be fluent in English, with fluency in Spanish being an asset.

Does that look like you, or someone you know? Please help us and apply, or forward this vacancy!

Hey there, time for an introduction! I’m new to CalcKey (and CalcKey.social in particular), but not that new to the Fediverse, so this will not be my main profile for some time, but I’ll try to see if it can become that.

I’m half-astronomer, half-engineer, although the engineering part has been gaining more relevance with time.

I have worked for several observatories, among them the European Southern Observatory, the Square Kilometre Array Observatory, and since June 2022 the Joint ALMA Observatory.

The Joint ALMA Observatory just went through its 10th anniversary, and is ready now for its major overhaul: the Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade, which will change all the signal chain, including correlation and data processing, to get an huge multiple in speed gains for most projects, and at least a 4 times gain for most.

My role is to supervise the Systems Engineering efforts for all relevant subprojects, to make sure that a successful observatory upgrade is delivered which provides a lot of value to our community.

See you around!

ps. As my profile indicates, most of my activity will, anyway, happen at @juandesant@astrodon.social. At least, for the time being!
