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. A key component of the construction readiness is the permitting of the future site for the project. 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.
