From ashley.ruiter at adfa.edu.au Mon Dec 16 17:11:11 2019 From: ashley.ruiter at adfa.edu.au (Ashley Ruiter) Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2019 06:11:11 +0000 Subject: [ASA] Last chance to register: ANITA 2020 Message-ID: Dear Astronomers, we've had a surge in people registering to attend either part of or all of ANITA in Canberra in Feb 2020 - Great! Thank you to those who spread the word. For those that didn't register but still want to attend ANITA: we still have room for talks during the theory workshop Feb. 6-7. Presenting a talk at ANITA is a great way to showcase your research to the rest of the astrophysical/computational astronomy community in Australia (which is growing but not that huge). Please consider signing up to give a talk, especially if you are an early career researcher: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Qr3zC1WZXriV9ozAULJAlS?domain=asa-anita.github.io You need to have a title and short abstract ready when you register. Looking forward to seeing you at UNSW Canberra in Feb! Note Thursday's dinner will be free of charge for participants. Some further info/links below. -Ashley (on behalf of the ANITA steering committee) ===== The Australian National Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics (ANITA) summer school will take place February 3-5 and the theory workshop will take place February 6-7, 2020. Both events will be held at the University of New South Wales Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory. The major aims of the ANITA theory workshops are to bring together astronomers working in theoretical/computational astrophysics, to raise awareness within our community about theoretical astrophysics research opportunities and challenges within Australia, and to facilitate and encourage collaboration between these groups. There will be no invited speakers or posters: everyone who is interested to present a contributed talk should indicate this on the registration form. The ANITA summer school theme this year is 'Cosmic Explosions'. PhD, Masters and undergraduate students working in (or having a strong interest in) theoretical astrophysics are encouraged to attend. The first day will focus on evolution of massive stars and their explosions. The second day will focus on high-energy explosions/transients, nucleosynthesis, and optical supernova remnant observations, while the third day will focus on fast radio bursts (FRBs) and will include an excursion to the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope, just outside of Canberra.

The research associate will conduct research at Swinburne University of Technology within the Galaxy Evolution Project of ASTRO 3D. The research will involve observational studies of the high-redshift intergalactic/circumgalactic medium using large optical/near-IR telescopes. Specific research outcomes arising from this appointment include the analysis and publication of data from a European Southern Observatory Large Project on high redshift quasars together with international collaborators. Measuring the evolution of metals across the history of the Universe is a key outcome for ASTRO 3D. The research will be in collaboration with A/Prof Emma Ryan-Weber. The appointee will be supported in their career development and encouraged to conduct independent research and work collaboratively within the ASTRO 3D Galaxy Evolution Project, including with Prof Kim-Vy Tran (UNSW), Prof Lisa Kewley (ANU), Prof Karl Glazebrook and Prof Darren Croton and other staff within the Centre of Astrophysics and Supercomputing. Swinburne values its diverse work environment and is committed to the principles of equal opportunity and cultural diversity. The University has been recognised as a Workplace Employer of Choice for gender equality for the seventh year. Swinburne recognises the importance of providing career development, and offers promotion opportunities for both continuing and fixed-term staff.
