Winterover Positions
We are hiring two “winterovers” who will be deployed to the South Pole, Antarctica, to operate and maintain the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Training for two candidates is anticipated to begin in Madison, WI, in August 2025. Deployment to the South Pole is expected to be in October or November 2025 for 12 to 13 months with no possibility of leaving until the end of deployment. Expertise will be balanced between the two candidates over the range of skills required. Individuals must develop a good working knowledge of the entire system.
