Now that the CTAO has entered its construction phase, additional expertise is needed to serve the specific project needs of this phase. Thus, the CTAO Central Organisation is launching a call for personnel support agreements from research organisations and institutes to fulfill temporary full- or part-time computing and project science positions within the Organisation. In general, personnel supporters can work remotely from their home institute. Only in special cases based on job requirements will the supporter be asked to relocate to one of the CTAO sites.
This opportunity is open to all research organisations and institutes worldwide and brings benefits to all parties. Each personnel support agreement will be provided as an in-kind contribution to the CTAO and will correspond to a value, which will depend on the percentage of working time performed for the CTAO. Additionally, while the CTAO gains specific technical and scientific expertise needed for the development of the Observatory, the supporting institutes can make a significant contribution to a world class research infrastructure and benefit from the special competencies their employees gain through their experience. Finally, the support personnel are provided an opportunity to enhance their professional career and network.
