spatial: Denys Wilkinson Building, Dept. of Physics, Keble Rd, Oxford OX1 3RH
application opening date: 2025-04-01T09:00:00+01:00
comment: Applications are invited for a Senior Project Manager to manage the spectrograph work package for HARMONI - the ELT’s integral field spectrograph. HARMONI is the first light spectrograph for the ELT, providing visible and near-infrared integral field spectroscopy, assisted by laser star and natural star adaptive optics. Oxford has a leadership role in building the HARMONI instrument, including responsibility for the design and development (incl. cryogenics testing) of four spectrograph units that form the core of the HARMONI integral field spectrograph (IFS). We are seeking a Senior Project Manager who will be the “Institute Project Manager” for the spectrograph work package, with responsibility for the delivery of the four spectrograph units to the IFS integration site in Edinburgh. This is an exciting opportunity to join an international collaboration that will provide the first-light spectrograph for the world’s largest telescope in its early years. You will be responsible for, and provide day-to-day line management for a team of optics specialists, systems engineers, mechanical engineers, workshop technicians, and cryogenics specialists who will be engaged with the detailed design, component procurement, assembly, integration and testing of the spectrograph units. You will be assisted by the Oxford HARMONI Project Administrator, and by specialist services in the Oxford Physics department (e.g. Personnel, Finance) and the University administration (e.g. tendering, contracts, VAT / duties). In addition, you will provide frequent reports to the HARMONI project office on technical progress, and quarterly formal reports to the European Southern Observatory. You will be responsible for managing the schedule, and the hardware procurements, including budgets. Quarterly financial reporting of spend (both effort and cash) is also required for both ESO and the UK Funding Agency. Applicants should possess a good Masters degree (min 2:1 qualification) in Physics, Astronomy o…

The HARMONI consortium consists of partner institutes in the UK, France and Spain, and the design and technical development of the instrument is led by UK Astronomy Technology Centre, Edinburgh. The project preliminary design phase kicked-off in Oct 2015, the Preliminary Design Review was held in Nov/Dec 2017. HARMONI will provide medium resolution (R / of 3000 to 17000) spectra of every point in a ~150  200 spatial pixel field of view. This integral field spectroscopic capability, combined with the exquisite spatial resolution provided by the ELT (coupled with adaptive optics), will allow HARMONI to play a transformational role in observational astrophysics. HARMONI’s science covers a w…
