The candidate will develop part of the tasks at the Instrument Control Centre of the SPIRE instrument located at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK) during periods of several weeks and will also participate in the scientific exploitation of the extragalactic surveys of Herschel and in the analysis of complementary data obtained with the GTC telescope and other large telescopes.
Duration: The contract will start during the last trimester of 2012 or first trimester 2013 after the resolution of the process of selection, until 31st December 2013 (finalization of the project).
