Research Assistant (instrumentation and exoplanets)

The Space science, Technologies, and Astrophysics Research unit (STAR Institute) and the Department for Astrophysics, Geophysics and Oceanography (AGO) of the University of Liège are inviting applications for a permanent (tenure-track), full-time research assistant position ("logisticien de recherche") in the field of astronomical instrumentation for exoplanet science. This position aims to support on-going instrumentation projects, and foster the development of new projects, mainly in the field of exoplanet high-contrast imaging. One of the immediate tasks of a successful candidate will be to manage and participate in the technical contribution of the STAR Institute to the METIS first-generation instrument for the ELT, including system-level integration and commissioning tasks. On the longer term, a successful candidate is also expected to contribute to future space-based missions in the field of exoplanets.
