It offers a sizeable remuneration of 4000 Euros for a coding period of 3 months (mid-August to mid-November).

The Astropy Project is a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Python astronomy packages. Our SOCIS mentorship will focus on expanding the astropy-specutils package that is designed to deal with code that focuses on spectral data analysis. </span></div><br><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; "></span><div style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">ESA has some eligibility criteria </span><a href="http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis2012/?q=faq#socis_elig_restrictions" style="text-decoration:none;"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">http://sophia.estec.esa.int/socis2012/?q=faq#socis_elig_restrictions</span></a><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">.</span></div><br><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; "></span><br><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; "></span><br><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; "></span><div style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Thanks,</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; "><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>the astropy/specutils team</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; "><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Please forward this email to interested parties.</span></div></b></body></html>
