Today, Clayton is a critical element of the
Gemini North summit team, which is responsible for keeping everything in top
form for Gemini’s nighttime operations. His
success story, like many similar ones at both
Gemini telescopes, is now featured in new
multi-media materials that share with future
career candidates the opportunities available at Gemini and other astronomical observatories.

Building Careers
To this end, the Gemini Public Information
and Outreach (PIO) Office recently debuted
a new careers brochure aimed at inspiring
“Inspiring our youth with opportunities for
the future is at the core of our work,” says
Gemini’s Human Resource Manager Christina Terminello. “Materials like this, and follow-on opportunities — such as internships
through our partnerships with local Hawai‘i
and Chilean schools and universities — give
students a glimpse of what it’s like to work at
students, residents, and others in Gemini’s
local host communities to consider a future
at Gemini or other observatories. Available
in English and Spanish, the brochure, and its
companion video-interview website http://
www.gemini.edu/careers present real-life stories, like Clayton’s.
“The careers brochure and
videos provide a glimpse
into the work-lives of a
cross-section of our staff
and what inspires and
motivates them,” says Joy
Pollard of Gemini’s Hilo
PIO office, who helped
produce the brochure
and videos along with her
counterpart Manuel Paredes in Chile.
