Any astronomers looking for a wild new job?

I got a message from an ecologist in Belgium today, and he's looking for a postdoc with experience in photometry to work on analysis of all-sky imagery for an experiment on the impact of #LightPollution on birds.

This is not yet a job offer! He would work together with the candidate on an internal university grant.

If anyone is interested (PhD in #astronomy or closely related field required), send me a message and I'll put you in touch.

@skyglowberlin "Anyone looking for a job?" and "This is not a job offer!" giving a little mixed messages here. :D

@luca @monoxyd @skyglowberlin I know how to *apply for money* to get a chance to pay you, more precisely. Yes, it's a sad state of affairs, one most of us in tenured positions all have to struggle with too to try to just keep basic things running these days, not just new projects. I would very much prefer it to be otherwise.

@monoxyd @luca @skyglowberlin it is very disheartening when you are trying to put feelings and humanity in your own management.

@monoxyd It's pretty standard for academics, unfortunately...

@skyglowberlin I'm boosting this because I am retired and never had the required skills, but if I could have a do-over in life I would want this to be me.

Please, somebody, tell me this is you.
