+Astropy Software Operational Support Specialist
+===============================================
+
+The Astropy Project is looking to hire a software operational support
+specialist.  The overarching goal of this position is to improve the
+first time contributor experience, reduce the technical barriers to
+contributions, reduce the number of open issues, and increase the
+number of merged pull requests. This is not intended to cover all
+issues and PRs opened in astropy, but rather to support and lighten
+the load on the rest of the volunteer community.  An ideal candidate
+would be familiar with the Astropy project ecosystem and capabilities,
+comfortable with its Github Development workflow, and has experience
+providing supportive feedback and technical advice in online
+environments.
+
+This role includes monitoring the astropy issue tracker, adding labels
+to new issues, providing a friendly welcome message on issues and pull
+requests, and giving starting pointers for how to resolve the issue or
+move the pull request forward. This role also includes helping to
+close out issues and PRs, helping with rebasing, and troubleshooting
+failing tests. To be effective, we epxect regular attendance of
+Astropy development telecons.
+
+We expect a commitment of up to 10 hours per week with a total cost
+compensation rate (which includes overhead and fringe) up to 150 $ per
+hour.  Compensation could be provided as a consulting fee or as a
+subaward.  The Astropy Project can pay inside or outside of the
+US. This is a remote-only position.
+
+Please send a short (one paragraph) email to [email protected] with
+a description of your interest in the role, your qualifications, any
+relevant experience, and attach a CV.  If possible, please provide
+links to a few examples of issues/PRs where you have been involved in
+a way similar to this role.
+
+The Astropy project is committed to fostering an inclusive
+community. The community of participants in open source Astronomy
+projects is made up of members from around the globe with a diverse
+set of skills, personalities, and experiences. It is through these
+differences that our community experiences success and continued
+growth. See https://www.astropy.org/code_of_conduct.html for details.
+
+The Astropy Project specifically encourages underrepresented parts of
+the community to apply.
+
+All applications received before the end of April 2020 will receive
+full considerations, but you can apply until the position is filled.
+
+
+Context
+=======
+
+This is the first part time job ad / call for work proposals funded
+from a grant from the Moore foundation to the Astropy project (and
+administered by NumFOCUS). One purpose of this grant is to make life
+easier for all the volunteers who do the hard work of developing the
+Astropy Project by providing salary for some work that is very
+important for the project as a whole, but requires time commitments
+that are unreasonable to expect from volunteer contributors. This job
+is not intended to replace current volunteer efforts, but to help out
+with it and ensure that someone will do the work described below even
+if volunteers are not available.  If you have suggestions on the
+process of job ads and spending grant money in general, please contact
+the interim finance committee at [email protected] or use the issue
+tracker of https://github.com/astropy/project .
