The program is aimed at graduate students and postdocs who are seeking to enhance their careers through hands-on observatory experience, working directly with Keck Observatory scientists. The purpose is to create a direct connection for early career scientists with the Observatory's technology, operation, and research. Although this is an unpaid internship, funding will be provided to successful candidates to cover travel and accommodation expenses for 4-12 weeks. List https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Toj3Cp8AJQtvPPJ6sP_vuI?domain=www2.keck.hawaii.edu for more information, including a link to the application form. Please forward this to potential Keck Scholars. Sincerely, Randy Campbell, Observing Support Manager ?????????????????????????

Thanks to the generosity of the Hunstead Gift, the Sydney Institute for Astronomy (SIfA) at the University of Sydney will be hosting a two-day symposium on April 5-6 on the subject of Planets in Peculiar Places - perhaps the oldest but least studied branch of current exoplanet science, covering planets around pulsars, red giants, white dwarfs, subdwarfs, and hot main sequence stars. With the launch of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) coming up this is an ideal time to consider the science goals and technology requirements for understanding planetary systems outside the typical search space of FGK dwarfs. Registration is now open on our website at http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/planets/PeculiarPlaces/ - we invite submissions for talks, posters, and plain old attendance. We look forward to you joining us in Sydney!
