NASA's Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor is a planned mission (launch: September 2027) with a goal of finding, identifying, and characterizing potentially hazardous asteroids in our Solar System.  The Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences is an academic unit within the UCLA Division of Physical Sciences.  The NEO Surveyor Assistant Survey Scientist will be supported under UCLA's contract with NASA.  The NEO Surveyor Assistant Survey Scientist will assist the Principal Investigator and Science Team in developing the NEO Surveyor survey plan, which determines where the Observatory points as a function of time. The Assistant Survey Scientist will participate in testing and verifying that the survey plan obeys survey rules defined by the Science Team. The Assistant Survey Scientist will also participate actively in studying the ability to link detections of small body candidates observed by NEO Surveyor to ensure that they result in the determination of high-quality orbits.  More information on the position, including qualifications, compensation range, benefits and how to apply are provided in the full position description (see below).
