This is the position of Information Technology Specialist (APPSW) (INET) in the Minor Planet Center (MPC) at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. The individual will function as a web-developer in the division. The MPC is the internationally recognized, NASA-funded clearinghouse, processing center, and archive for minor planet and comet observations. The MPC is tasked with identifying candidate near Earth asteroids from all data reported to the MPC, as well as with supporting asteroid survey programs, for example, through services for identifying known asteroids and predicting their positions.
The MPC is building a highly scalable and feature-rich data-processing pipeline using modern development tools. Much of the interaction between the scientific community and the data processing pipeline is through the MPC website and web-services. As such the website and services are also being upgraded and the MPC is inviting applications for a suitable qualified web-developer.
