The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is an intergovernmental organization responsible for astronomical research in the southernhemisphere. The eight member States of ESO are Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.As the prime European astronomical centre, ESO occupies a leading position in the world's scientific community. Its research work is ofgreat value to many areas of science and industry.

Applications are invited for the position of (m/~:

Associate Director tor Science (ref. ESD205)

within the Science Division at the ESO Headquarters, in Garching near Munich, Germany.Assignment: a strong research-orientated scientific staff with diverse expertise is essential if ESO is to fulfil its mandate of providing and

maintaining an international competitive multi-telescope observatory for its community of users. Within this framework, the AssociateOirector for Science will be responsible to the Oirector General for the overall quality of scientific research at ESO, for guiding the rebuildingand expansion of the scientific staff in anticipation of the Very Large Telescope era, for coordinating the participation of the scientific staffin the VLT project and for revitalizing the ESO Fellowship and Studentship programmes. A further responsibility will be to ensure the broadparticipation of the European astronomical community in all ESO activities and in particular in the VLTNLT Interferometer programme.

Experience: the chosen candidate will have an outstanding record of achievement in one or more areas of modern astrophysics and willbe widely experienced in the use of large ground-based optical telescopes. This will be combined with excellent management andleadership skills.

Contractual conditions: the Associate Oirectorship is intended as a tenured staff appointment. Nevertheless, serious consideration willbe given to outstanding candidates willing to be seconded to ESO on extended leaves from their home institutions.

ESO remuneration and conditions: remuneration will be commensurate with background, experience and family status of theincumbent. The basic tax-free monthly salary will not be less than DM 12,402.-. To this may be added an expatriation allowance and otherallowances depending on family status.

ESO staff enjoy highly-favourable working conditions and have every opportunity to demonstrate their skills in an international andcreative environment equipped with advanced technologies.

Applications should specify the job reference and be submilted before October 31, 1993 to: The Oirector General, Prof. R. Giacconi,European Southern Observatory, Karl-Schwarzschild-Straße 2, 0-85748 Garching near Munich, Germany. Tel. (089) 32006250.
