From asa.ecr.chapter at gmail.com Tue Apr 6 11:24:26 2021 From: asa.ecr.chapter at gmail.com (ASA Early Career Researchers Chapter) Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2021 11:24:26 +1000 Subject: [ASA] ASA Early Career Researcher Mentoring Program Message-ID: Dear ASA members, We are pleased to announce the 2021 ASA Mentoring Program for early-career researchers, and are looking for both mentors and mentees to participate. Everyone is welcome, from undergraduate students to professors. The program will comprise 2 parts: 1. A "Speed Meet-A-Mentor" event, which will be held on Wednesday the 7th of July, in the week before the ASA 2021 Annual Meeting. During the 1.5-hour event, mentees will be randomly matched with mentors for a series of brief video chats, to give mentees the chance to connect with mentors and hear some wisdom from more experienced members of the community. 2. A long-term mentoring program, which will commence after the Speed Meet-A-Mentor event. Mentees will be matched with a mentor of their choice (where possible), and will meet with them throughout the year as per a schedule to be decided between the mentor and mentee. To sign up, please fill out this form: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/un6DCyojxQTr6E6AjTZUhNC?domain=forms.gle All mentors who have signed up for either part of the program will attend a short training seminar prior to the Speed Meet-A-Mentor event held on Wednesday the 30th of June. The seminar will involve a discussion and Q&A on how to be a good mentor with a panel of experienced mentors selected from volunteers in the community. Further details about both events will be sent out closer to the date. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions.

The Council must take account of diversity issues such as gender, geographic representation, area of expertise and career level and attempt to cover as broad a range of these aspects as possible when nominating candidates. Another prerequisite that the Council must consider is the willingness of the nominees to put in the necessary time on the work of the Council. The existing Council can be seen at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/BVULCWLVXkU5zA1Gwux-7oR?domain=asa.astronomy.org.au. The Executive and Councillors are elected positions whilst the "Other Council positions" are appointed by the Council for specific roles. The Council tries to ensure that the Executive nominees have previous Council experience to ensure a level of continuity in Council proceedings. To encourage broad participation in the governance of the ASA and to assist preparation of the slate of candidates, Council seeks informal expressions of interest from members with interest in nominating as an ASA Councillor. As required by the constitution, there will be a subsequent formal call for nominations from the membership after the Council nominations are announced. Any full member (Member, Fellow or Honorary Fellow) interested in serving on the ASA Council should send an email to Marc Duldig Marc.Duldig at utas.edu.au with a sentence or two supporting their candidacy by Sun 25th April. Regards to all and I hope you had a happy Easter break.
