Schmidt Sciences – Astrophysics /

Full-Time /

On-Site

Schmidt Sciences is a nonprofit organization founded in 2024 by Eric and Wendy Schmidt that works to accelerate scientific knowledge and breakthroughs with the most promising, advanced tools to support a thriving planet. The organization prioritizes research in areas poised for impact including AI and advanced computing, astrophysics, biosciences, climate, and space—as well as supporting researchers in a variety of disciplines through its science systems program.

Summary

The Astrophysics Center at Schmidt Sciences seeks an experienced radio astronomer to join a growing team supporting the development of next-generation astronomical facilities. This role will bring deep expertise in radio astronomy to the Center, helping guide the scientific development, commissioning, and operation of major facilities within the Schmidt Observatory System while contributing to the exploration of future opportunities in the field.

The successful candidate will work closely with internal staff, external partners, and the international radio astronomy community to ensure that ambitious scientific facilities are designed, built, and operated to maximize their scientific potential. The role is well suited to an established scientist with extensive experience in radio interferometry, large survey facilities, and collaborative science programs, with a demonstrated ability to work across complex scientific, engineering, and programmatic teams in multi-institutional international collaborations.

The Role

Reporting to the Director of the Astrophysics Center at Schmidt Sciences (hereafter "the Center"), the Program Scientist will join a growing multidisciplinary team supporting the Center's observatory portfolio. The role combines scientific judgment, technical insight, and collaborative stewardship across the Center's major radio astronomy activities. Working closely with internal staff, partner institutions, and the broader scientific community, responsibilities are expected to include:

Provide scientific and technical expertise in radio astronomy across the Center's observatory portfolio.
Work closely with partner institutions throughout the design, construction, commissioning, and scientific operation of major radio astronomy facilities.
Evaluate scientific capabilities, technical readiness, project milestones, and commissioning activities to help ensure facilities achieve their scientific objectives.
Review survey strategy, operational planning, calibration approaches, data products, and software plans, providing independent scientific assessment where appropriate.
Coordinate scientific and technical reviews within the Center, synthesizing input from internal staff and external experts.
Provide scientific oversight for the Center's gifts and grants in radio astronomy, monitoring progress and identifying opportunities to maximize scientific impact.
Represent the Center in technical reviews, scientific meetings, workshops, and interactions with the broader radio astronomy community.
Build collaborative relationships with partner institutions, scientific teams, and the broader radio astronomy community.
Advise Center leadership on scientific priorities, emerging opportunities, and strategic decisions in radio astronomy, including contributing to the exploration of future radio astronomy facilities and concepts.

Requirements

Ph.D. in Astronomy, Astrophysics, or a closely related field.
Minimum 10 years of experience in academia, industry, government, or private research laboratories following the Ph.D.
Demonstrated scientific leadership within a major radio astronomy collaboration, observatory, or survey.
Extensive experience with radio interferometry, including the development, commissioning, operation, or scientific exploitation of large radio arrays.
Broad understanding of radio astronomy instrumentation, calibration, imaging, data processing, and scientific operations.
Demonstrated ability to work effectively across scientific, engineering, and multidisciplinary teams in large, multi-institutional collaborations.
Excellent scientific judgment, communication skills, and the ability to build productive relationships with partner institutions and the broader research community.
Based at one of the Schmidt Sciences offices (Maryland, New York, or Virginia), with the ability to travel domestically and internationally as required.

Desired Additional Skills

Experience with the commissioning or early scientific operation of facility-class radio observatories.
Experience participating in scientific advisory committees, technical review panels, or governance activities for major astronomical facilities.
Experience working with external collaborators, partner institutions, or multi-institutional scientific teams.
Expertise in one or more areas enabled by modern radio astronomy, such as transient astronomy, pulsars, cosmology, exoplanets, or multi-messenger astrophysics.
Familiarity with large-scale radio astronomy software, calibration pipelines, or survey data products.
Broad scientific interests spanning multiple areas of radio astronomy and an interest in future observatory concepts.
