Job Description

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.

The project is located near Ely, NV within a majority portion of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) property.

The role will be fully remote but will require site visits to the project site from time to time.
