Observatory Careers:
New Resources for Students,
Teachers, and Parents
While Gemini first developed resources for promoting
observatory career opportunities primarily for use in our local
host community outreach, we’ve now made updated (and
expanded) versions which are available to anyone online —
and in printed form upon request.
Chances are, at one time or another, you’ve met a young student who
loves astronomy and wants to know more about astronomy and observatory careers. Like any career advice, there is no simple answer for everyone, so Gemini is here to help!
The latest update (Version 2.0) of Gemini’s
Career Brochure and companion website
is now available. Here you will find a selection of highlighted observatory careers,
from research astronomers to administrative support. To augment the brochure,
we now offer in-depth profiles of selected
staff, with more on the way. The website
also offers online video interviews of staff
from a wide variety of occupations. Online materials are available in both English and Spanish at this site; and printed
versions are availabl
