Important Candidates must hold a European Passport and be willing to work in Spain Job Description Support to Science Operations Science Archives and VO Java Developer Within the Science Operations Departments overall responsibility for scientific operations development and execution for astronomy and solar system missions, the Science Archives and Computer Engineering Unit carries in particular the role of developing science archives, providing easy access to mission data for the scientific community worldwide. The Science Archives Team in ESAC works on various archive projects from old missions ISO, Exosat, Giotto, Smart1, Huygens, current missions XMMNewton, Integral, Herschel, Planck, HST, Mars Express, Venus Express, Rosetta, Soho, Cluster, Ulysses and future missions Gaia, BepiColombo, Euclid, Solar Orbiter. All mission science archives are available online through GUI rich client or thin client web interfaces and machine scriptable interface, with data distribution done via FTP. Modular and flexible multitier and clientserver architecture together with the use of an objectoriented approach, Java and XML allows configurability and reuse of systems across archive projects. Furthermore, ESA, through the ESAC Science Archives Team is playing an important role in the Virtual Observatory VO worldwide to position itself as the main VO actor for all European spacebased astronomical data. A VO is a network of interoperating data archives and software tools that use the connectivity provided by the Internet to form a scientific research environment in which astronomical research programs can be conducted. The vast astronomical archives and databases around the world, together with analysis tools and computational services, are linked together into an integrated facility, not only connecting astronomical data centres and providers but also providing collective capabilities beyond those possible in any individual archive. Within the Science Archives Team, the service to be provided requires that personnel are usually dedicated to a specific archive project, taking care of design, implementation, operations and evolutive maintenance of the archive software systems data repository and database products metadata, middletier applications, data distribution and interoperability, user and scriptable interfaces. As the archives software systems share a common technical framework, service personnel assigned to one archive project can move to another archive project, ensuring easier and efficient knowledge transfer. Service specific tasks related to Science Archives and VO databases are the following Database design and modelling taking into account the user requirements Database installation, population, monitoring and maintenance Design, develop, deploy and maintain database interfaces for the rest of the archives and VO systems Design, develop, deploy and maintain applications related to the database information user administration tools, statistics tools, etc Configuration control and documentation tasks relevant to the above mentioned tasks.
