We are seeking an Environmental Manager to work on the DSA-2000 project ( a world-leading telescope that is currently in the final design phase. The array will use 2000, 5-meter dishes to observe at radio wavelengths (0.7 – 2 GHz frequency range) to survey the skies 10x faster than any radio telescope current or planned. The telescope will conduct a broad range of research, including the study of the formation of galaxies, the search for cosmic explosions, and investigations into the nature of gravity. A key component of the construction readiness is the permitting of the future site for the project. The project is located near Ely, NV within a majority portion of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) property. The Environmental Manager will support the Lead Project Manager with the site permitting and compliance process.
The role will be fully remote but will require site visits to the project site from time to time. Other travel requirements to Caltech in Pasadena may be required as required for in-person team meetings. This role includes opportunities for growth through education and training as relevant or needed. The DSA-2000 project values diversity and inclusion and is committed to supporting our team members in any way possible. We encourage applicants who can bring a new perspective to the team.
Please contact the hiring manager, Dr. Katie Jameson (kjameson@caltech.edu), with any questions regarding this position.
