Hiring PosterThe Vera C. Rubin Observatory is seeking scientific, engineering, education, and administrative talent to build "one of the most important scientific experiments in human history".  Rubin Observatory sees the diversity of its team as a critical component in constructing and operating a large scientific facility of value to all.  We reflect that deep commitment by strongly encouraging women, minorities, veterans and disabled individuals to apply for the opportunities offered here.

Key positions are available now and in the near future for the construction and eventual operation of this new generation observing facility.  Operating as an AURA Center since 2011, the Rubin Observatory headquarters are in Tucson, AZ with additional work sites at NOIRLab (also an AURA Center), the DOE-funded SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, University of Washington, Princeton University, Caltech/IPAC, and NCSA among others.  All Rubin Observatory work sites offer exceptional benefits packages and room for professional growth.

ABOUT US

The goal of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory project is to conduct the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). LSST will deliver a 500 petabyte set of images and data products that will address some of the most pressing questions about the structure and evolution of the universe and the objects in it.

Financial support for Rubin Observatory comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Cooperative Agreement No. 1258333, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515, and private funding raised by the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded Rubin Observatory Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA).  The DOE-funded effort to build the the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
NSF and DOE will continue to support Rubin Observatory in its Operations phase. They will also provide support for scientific research with LSST data.
