The successful candidates will become part of a diverse team of twenty CADC computer scientists and astronomers, developing advanced solutions to support world class science and deliver services for processing data from the world's largest radio telescope. You will become integral members of the CADC software development team, working within an Agile methodology, designing, developing, and maintaining software and infrastructure that enables next-generation data driven astronomical discovery. You will be collaborating with national and international colleagues to help deliver, operate and support the Canadian SRC.

• A variety of mentoring programs are available.
