[ASA] Call for Expressions of Interest for Members of the MWA Time Assignment Committee

[John O'Byrne]

Dear Colleagues,



Members of the international astronomical community are invited to nominate for positions on the Time Allocation Committee (TAC) of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). The closing date for nominations is Friday 11 September 2020.


The TAC is the committee that reviews and grades proposals for time on the MWA. The TAC meets twice a year, to assess proposals in the field of low frequency radio interferometry including but not limited to studies of the Sun and ionosphere, low frequency continuum and polarimetric imaging, Epoch of Reionisation observations, and low frequency radio transients. Members are appointed for a term of two years and we are seeking up to four new members of the TAC. New members will join the TAC beginning at its September/October 2020 meeting. Current TAC members are listed here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Q9oBCNLJyQU2GmM1FmJW95?domain=mwatelescope.org<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/Q9oBCNLJyQU2GmM1FmJW95?domain=mwatelescope.org>



Nominees are asked to send their name, affiliation and a <100 word summary of their specialisation to the MWA Director, Prof. Melanie Johnston-Hollitt (Director at mwatelescope.org) by Friday 11 September 2020. Please include in the subject line of your email that you are applying for consideration as a member of the MWA TAC.



Members of the TAC will be appointed by the MWA Board after consideration of the balance of expertise, geographical distribution, and diversity.



For further information, about the operation of the TAC please contact the MWA Principal Scientist, Dr Luke Pratley (Sceintist at mwatelescope.org).



Please forward to your networks as appropriate.



Best regards,

Melanie
