Research is a term associated with the deeper study or analysis. Research requires high degree of qualifications and skills in that particular field. A research job requires candidates who can performdifferent tasks depending upon the specific area of subject. The following are a few examples: socio-political research analysit, media research job, research development manager, social research job, research officer job, market research analyst job, clinical research job, historian research, research statistician, and so on. Researchers may gather information on competitors, prices, sales, and methods of marketing and distribution. They may use survey results to create a marketing campaign based on regional preferences and buying habits.

The complete knowledge and certificates of proof of the qualifications should be produced by the candidate, as most research jobs require some kind of an experience in that field. A research job applicant should be well versed with the basic and even the advanced topics of that field.

The following are the duties and responsibilities generally expected from a research job applicant: they should be able to assist senior researchers by giving inputs and analyzing previous recorded data; they should have all the appropriate points and basics of that subject on his/her tips and should be able to respond to any questions raised quickly; collect and analyze data on customer demographics, preferences, needs, and buying habits to identify potential markets and factors affecting product demand; prepare reports of findings, illustrating data graphically and translating complex findings into written text; measure and assess customer and employee satisfaction; forecast and track marketing and sales trends, analyzing collected data; seek and provide information to help companies determine their position in the marketplace; measure the effectiveness of marketing, advertising, and communications programs and strategies; conduct research on consumer opinions and marketing strategies, collaborating with marketing professionals, statisticians, pollsters, and other professionals; attend staff conferences to provide management with information and proposals concerning the promotion, distribution, design, and pricing of company products or services; gather data on competitors and analyze their prices, sales, and method of marketing and distribution; monitor industry statistics and follow trends in trade literature; devise and evaluate methods and procedures for collecting data (such as surveys, opinion polls, or questionnaires), or arrange to obtain existing data; develop and implement procedures for identifying advertising needs; direct trained survey interviewers.

Work Experience

Resident Astronomer, Post Doctoral Researcher (2007 - 2009)

Institute of Astronomy, UNAM -

Ensenada, B.C.

2004 to 2011Database Design

Ten years of observations by Planetary Nebula (PN) group at IA-UNAM in Ensenada led to accumulation of high resolution, spectroscopic observations for over 600 PNe. All data are of scientific quality and presented in PDF format. Using MySQL, PHP and HTML, I created on-line catalog for general public to access data (http:// kincatpn.astrosen.unam.mx/).

    Created MySQL database to store all file information for all data and store all characteristics and properties of each planetary nebula.

    Wrote user interface using PHP. Main page is a search page, allowing user to search for planetary nebulae depending on their various characteristics and properties.

    Designed feature to plot positions of planetary nebulae on sky using Flot Java library.

    Added functionality to allow user to download text file of output search results.

    Added functionality to display thumbnail images for each planetary nebula in search results.

    Created page to display image for an individual planetary nebula and all available data for it.

    Wrote edit page with only administration privileges allowing convenient way to add/modify specific information for individual planetary nebulae.

    Wrote update page with only administration privileges, providing a convenient way to add new planetary nebulae to database in batches as well as modify any existing data.

Data Analyst Using Python

    Wrote many scripts in Python to analyze astronomical data. Analysis led to further understanding of planetary nebulae and subsequent publication of results in scientific journals.

    Analyzed astronomical data presented in form of a datacube, spatial dimensions in x and y and spectral dimension along z axis.

    Extracted two-dimensional cuts at specific wavelengths in datacube to show nebula appearance.

    Extracted two-dimensional cuts along spatial and spectral dimension. Cuts showed expansion of nebula to and from observer, giving information on its three-dimensional shape.

    Wrote program to plot line profiles at different positions along spectral slit.

    Wrote programs to lay out figures for publication in scientific journals.

Software Support

    As a resident astronomer at San Pedro Mártir Observatory in Baja California, Mexico, I provided software support for visiting astronomers to help them carry out their telescopic observations.

    Taught astronomers how to use programs to carry out telescopic observations. Programs included data acquisition and calibration program. I spent first two hours at beginning of night, instructing observers about programs. I stayed available for remainder of night should additional questions arise.

    Resolved software problems during night when failures occurred. These problems included communication problems between observer's computer and instrument on telescope, errors in commanded exposures, errors in telescope control interface and errors in telescope guiding. All problems were resolved quickly, so astronomers could continue with their observing program.

    Became expert user with Linux operating system since all computers at observatory use this OS.

Database Design

The San Pedro Martir observatory website did not contain a centralized list of available filters for astronomical instruments. Separate filter lists existed on individual instrument websites. Volunteered to create a centralized list of all astronomical filters. (http://www.astrossp.unam.mx/filters/filtros.php)

    Created database of all available filters using MySQL and putting all information for each filter in a single table rather than on separate pages that were hard to search.

    Developed PHP interface to display a sortable table depending on filter characteristic.

    The interface made locating filters faster and easier for visiting astronomers resulting in less time spent in planning and setting up observations.

Maintenance Specialist

    The RATIR robotic telescope team required an on-site person to help with initial tests and maintenance of telescope and instrument. As an experienced observatory staff member, volunteered to take on responsibility.

    Participated in initial tests of robotic telescope during installation phase. Helped install Linux operating system on support computers. Helped observatory technical staff install new, rack-mounted computers.

    Participated in installation of astronomical instrument on robotic telescope. Instrument consisted of two parts, one for observing infrared light and one for observing optical light. I visited NASA Goddard to learn about IR side of instrument and how to care for it.

    Wrote ten page illustrated manual for installation / maintenance of instrument and robotic telescope, including cable diagrams for all connections, pictures of instrument and telescope, how to make vacuum and cooldown IR cryostat, and what to do in case of a power failure. Instructed observatory staff on maintenance procedures.

Department of Astronomy, University of Florida -

Gainesville, FL

2000 to 2006

    I analyzed astronomical images using scripts written in IDL. This programming language is ideal for handling images because of how it uses arrays.

    Wrote program to measure brightness of star clusters in nearby galaxies. This interactive program made loading images and making measurements easy.
