We had some issues with the forms last month but think that they are all fixed now TRICK OR TREAT AND TELESCOPES DPS is continuing its Trick-or-Treat and Telescopes Program. We are encouraging people to put out their telescopes during trick-or-treat time on Halloween, in their own lawns or in a neighbor s lawn with better viewing (or more traffic). The following website gives advice and connections to resources. [9] Page 3 of 9
4 JOBS, POSITIONS, OPPORTUNITIES A) PRIZE POSTDOCTORAL POSITION Department of Astronomy University of Maryland College Park, Maryland Applications are invited for a Prize Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Astrophysics at the Department of Astronomy, University of Maryland, College Park. Established in 2006, this postdoctoral program is connected with the Maryland Astronomy Center for Theory and Computation whose faculty maintain active research programs in the areas of planetary/solar-system dynamics, exoplanet atmospheres, cosmology and galaxy formation, and high-energy astrophysics (including compact object physics). Candidates with a strong background in these fields, but particularly with a planetary/ exoplanetary focus for this cycle, are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. in Physics, Astronomy, or a related field by the start date of the appointment. A Fall 2018 start date is envisaged, but earlier dates are also possible and the appointment term is 2-3 years. To apply, please send a CV, publication list, and a 3 page statement of research interests and experience, packaged as a single PDF, to the above address by December 15, Candidates must also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to the same address by this date. Please put "CTC Prize Postdoc" in the subject line of all correspondence. Applicants for this position may also be considered for other postdoctoral positions in Page 4 of 9
5 the Astronomy Department at Maryland. For further information, please contact Prof. Douglas Hamilton at [10]. The University of Maryland is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer committed to excellence through diversity. B) PLANETARY/METEOR PHYSICIST NASA Marshall Space Flight Center [11] As a Planetary/Meteor Physicist, the selected candidate will support the Meteoroid Environment Office (MEO) within the Natural Environments Branch at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The selected candidate will work to improve NASA s understanding of the meteoroid environment, particularly with regard to those particles posing a hazard to spacecraft throughout the Solar System. Duties will include the following: Developing and refining the MEO s Meteoroid Engineering Model (MEM), meteor shower forecasts, and supporting models. These models are essential for assessing hazards to spacecraft and astronauts in low Earth orbit and beyond. Analyzing data from visual observers, meteor camera networks, telescopic instrumentation, and in-situ measurements to derive models of meteor speeds, fluxes, masses, and densities. Tracking meteor events and updating the US Government and the public on the circumstances surrounding these events. Required Qualifications: PhD (preferred) in Astronomy or Physics from an ABET accredited institution, or equivalent degree and experience, with a specialty in solar system dynamics or small body dynamics. Must have published papers as first author on solar system dynamics in peer-reviewed astronomical journals such as Icarus; Earth, Moon, and Planets; the Astronomical Journal; or the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Experience with three-body and N-body simulations of planetary systems. Expertise in one or more computer languages, preferably Python or the C family. Experience studying orbital resonances and stability is desired. Page 5 of 9
6 Typically, educational requirements are the equivalent of a Ph.D., a minimum of a Masters with at least 2 years of experience, or BS with at least 6 years of experience. Proof of U.S. Citizenship is required. Jacobs is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status or other characteristics protected by law. Jacobs is a background screening, drug-free workplace. C) RESEARCH ASSOCIATE IN PLANETARY ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Leicester Ref SEN00931 Full Details: [12] Salary Grade 7-33,518 to 38,833 per annum Full-time open-ended contract subject to external fixed-term funding. Funding is available for 3 years Closing date: 23 November 2017 The Physics and Astronomy Department at the University of Leicester invites applications for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA) in Planetary Atmospheric Science. You will join a planetary science team led by Dr. Leigh Fletcher, addressing the scientific aims of a European Research Council (ERC) grant to explore atmospheric processes on the giant planets of our Solar System. You will use world-leading ground- Page 6 of 9
7 and space-based observations of the gas and ice giants to prepare data analysis procedures for the James Webb Space Telescope, due for launch in This will develop the expertise and tools required for the first publications exploiting JWST infrared maps of these distant worlds, to be observed as part of a Guaranteed-Time programme of Solar System observations. The PDRA position will initially be for a period of three years, with the possibility of extension depending on progress and funding considerations. The ERC GIANTCLIMES project ( [13]) seeks to assemble a comprehensive climatology of the four giant planets over large spans of time, investigating the natural cycles of meteorology, circulation, and chemistry shaping the environments on these worlds. Inversions of planetary spectra, from the ultraviolet to the microwave, will be used to reconstruct these atmospheres in three dimensions to explore both their temporal variability and the processes coupling different atmospheric regimes. You will analyse subsets of existing data from Cassini, Spitzer and ground-based facilities to prepare planetary mapping and spectral simulation software for upcoming JWST observations, and will participate in the analysis of the first datasets from the observatory. We are therefore particularly interested in candidates with a background in planetary atmospheres and spectroscopic modelling techniques, but all applicants with a strong background in planetary science are encouraged to apply. You will carry out independent and collaborative research for this project and disseminate the results to the international scientific community. There will be significant opportunities to collaborate within Leicester s Planetary Science team (whose existing research includes planetary magnetospheres, ionospheres, atmospheres and surface science), Earth Page 7 of 9
8 Observation group, and with an international team specialising in radiative transfer and spectral inversion for planetary atmospheres. In addition to the online application form, applicants are requested to provide: [1] a CV and publication list; [2] two academic references; [3] a one-page cover letter detailing how your prior experience and future research aims are commensurate with the aims of the programme outlined above. Informal enquiries are welcome and should be made to Dr. Leigh Fletcher on leigh.fletcher@le.ac.uk [14] or Send submissions to: Anne Verbiscer, DPS Secretary (dpssec@aas.org [15]) To unsubscribe visit [16] or unsubscribe@aas.org [17].
