Seeking Job Opportunities - Computer Programming

I am looking for job opportunities as a computer programmer in the NY/NJ area.

I have a Masters Degree in Physics from Oxford University (Pembroke) and a PhD in Astrophysics from Liverpool John Moores University. I also have nearly 4 years of experience working for a large IT Consultancy firm (LogicaCMG), where I experienced all areas of the software development cycle, including developing and maintaining code in C++, VB and PLSQL.

I am currently working as the Venus Express Software Operations Support at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, part of the University College of London, where I develop and maintain code, primarily in IDL. I am also undertaking courses in MS Access, Dreamweaver and Pearl.

I am an enthusiastic and hard worker - good at working to tight deadlines. I have experience of working both within a team and also independently. I have worked in several different areas and with many different technologies and have found that I can pick up new skills and programming languages quickly.

I am a UK citizen, but I am looking for opportunities in the NY/NJ area for personal reasons.

I would require sponsorship for a work visa.

Job Opportunities in New York

I am currently looking for opportunities to relocate to North America – preferably in the New York area.

For the past six years I have been conducting empirical research in international economics and finance. This occupation has equipped me with extensive experience regarding quantitative research methods and the theoretical background concerning international economics, finance, growth, and economic development.

In my current occupation as a Visiting Professor in economics I design and deliver lectures on international economics, macroeconomics, microeconomics, and economic development for a variety of students, often with a non-economic background. This makes it necessary to communicate complicated economic issues intelligible to a general audience. Given my extensive teaching experience, I was able to demonstrate this ability on various occasions in recent years.

In addition to my academic activities, I frequently apply my economic insight to relevant policy issues. In this context, I have recently taken up a consultancy with the German development organization GTZ. In this capacity I compile and author economic analyses regarding the impact of international trade and finance on the poor based on GTZs field expertise.

As a development consultant based in Mumbai, India, I gained first-hand development experience both during my daily encounters with the poor themselves and through my work with a number of local NGOs.
