     design, construction, installation and commissioning of two 
     state-of-the-art 8 meter optical/infrared telescopes located on Mauna 
     Kea, Hawaii and Cerro Pachon, Chile. This fully funded project is an 
     international collaboration between the United States, United Kingdom, 
     Canada, Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
     
     As part of the Gemini Controls Team you will be responsible for all 
     aspects of real-time computing. To qualify for this position you must
