Below please find an outline of the vacant positions and a brief summary of each committee. The closing date for nominations is Wednesday 31 March 2021. Australia Telescope User Committee (ATUC) ATUC is a group of ten to fifteen scientists, including two student members, that represents the users of the Australia Telescope National Facility. ATUC meetings are a forum for users to raise any issues regarding the operation of the facility and to suggest changes to its operation. ATUC also discusses and recommends priorities for ATNF future development plans. ATUC meets twice a year, usually in April and October. Members are appointed for a term of three years, with student members being appointed for one year (two meetings). New members will join ATUC beginning at its October 2021 meeting. More information: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/raHGCr81nyt88qJp9i7IUNb?domain=atnf.csiro.au ATNF Time Assignment Committee (TAC): The TAC is the committee that reviews and grades proposals for time on the Parkes radio telescope, Australia Telescope Compact Array and Long Baseline Array and host country time on antennas of the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex at Tidbinbilla. In future, the TAC will also review proposals for Guest Science Projects on the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP). The TAC meets twice a year, generally in early February and late July. Members are appointed for a term of three years. New members will join the TAC beginning at its February 2022 meeting. Expressions of Interest from researchers in the fields of pulsars, star formation, radio galaxies and AGN, transients, and polarisation are particularly encouraged.

It is important that we gather as much feedback as possible so I can accurately represent our Australian community in my annual report to ESO and at the Users Committee meeting in April. The UC represents ESO?s astronomical community forming a direct link between the users and ESO. On an annual basis we ask users for feedback through our User Committee Poll : https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/J6v-C4QOPEiBJJ3YGtOjP_K?domain=eso.org This year there is a special focus on VLT-Interferometry. The poll is open until Friday March 19th 2021. [ If you experience a timeout problem when filling in the poll, please empty the cache of your browser. This is a well-known cookie problem from LimeSurvey. ] It is an anonymous survey, and the answers will be only seen by the UC members who will use them as input for discussions during the annual meeting of the UC and ESO scheduled in April. During the UC meeting updates from ESO and feedback from the user community are exchanged and openly discussed. The meeting webpage [https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/qEV0C5QPXJiZ004gOFO7lLc?domain=eso.org] includes a record of the last meeting with recommendations that will be discussed. The User Committee acts as an advisory body to the ESO Director General on matters related to the performance, scientific access, operation and user interfaces to the La Silla Paranal Observatory and ALMA. The UC welcomes opinions and suggestions from the community either through direct contact with the UC members [https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/EWhiC6XQ4Lfroo8VxImEf-a?domain=eso.org] or through the responses via the survey.
