Subject: [ASA] 2021 GALAH Survey Science Meeting (22 to 24 June)
Message-ID: <B6A84FA9-4FE1-40D6-BBB1-187B6E8EBED9@unsw.edu.au>

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 2021 GALAH Survey Science Meeting, to be held from 22 to 24 June 2021. It will have a hybrid format with people both online, and meeting in-person in Sydney, Australia.

The GALAH Survey is an ongoing, ambitious stellar spectroscopic survey of the local Galactic volume, acquiring high-resolution optical spectra for over one million stars with the HERMES spectrograph at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. GALAH had its Third Data Release in November 2020, which provided reduced spectra, stellar parameters, elemental abundances, and radial velocities for about 600000 stars. Subsequent to this release was the Third Early Data Release from the Gaia astrometric mission. The combination of these two data releases has provided an unprecedented view of our Galaxy. This conference aims to bring together researchers to present the latest research taking place using the GALAH survey, Gaia, and other stellar surveys.

The GALAH Survey and other stellar surveys facilitate a wide breadth of topics. Scientific themes we are interested in talks on include:

  *   Galactic chemical evolution
  *   Galactic chemodynamics
  *   Galactic migration
  *   The accreted halo
  *   Stellar streams

This conference will use a hybrid format. For our Australian and New Zealand colleagues, we will be meeting in-person on the campus of the University of New South Wales in Sydney from 22 to 24 June 2021. For our international colleagues, it will highly unlikely that you will be able to travel to Australia, so you will be able to present and participate virtually. We will set aside time at the start and end of day for people to present via zoom at times friendly to your time zone. If the COVID-19 situation changes in Sydney, we will move the conference to fully online.

The 2021 GALAH Science Meeting will be free to attend. Please register using this form https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/-VfiCwV1vMfGyqrqxFV-Se2?domain=forms.office.com to indicate how you will be attending and if you would like to present your work. If you wish to be considered for a presentation slot, please complete the form by Friday 21 May; otherwise, please complete the form by 11 June.

There will be some travel support available for people travelling from outside of NSW, with preference given to early career researchers presenting their work. We will also have free on-site childcare.

Up-to-date information on the schedule and logistics can be found at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/txJsCxngwOf1x7N7vIv3Y5S?domain=2021-galah-survey.github.io<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/txJsCxngwOf1x7N7vIv3Y5S?domain=2021-galah-survey.github.io/>

Please distribute this to people who would be interested in attending or presenting.

Kind regards

Jeffrey Simpson (on behalf of the organizing committee)

Subject: [ASA] Call for SSO 2.3m Proposals
Message-ID: <91286187-4213-4D9D-8D57-138EBBFA20DC@anu.edu.au>

Dear Observer,

The closing date for observing proposals for time on the ANU/RSAA 2.3m telescope at Siding Spring Observatory (SSO) in the quarter 1st August 2021 - 31st October 2021 is 23:59 May 15, 2021.

NOTE - Only remote observations will be permitted in the short term due to COVID-19.

WiFeS is the only instrument available (The Echelle and Imager have been decommissioned).


Observing proposals must be submitted electronically via the RSAA web pages.
Full instructions are available at https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/SGp_C4QOPEiB99R68FOwNXq?domain=rsaa.anu.edu.au.


*************************** PLEASE NOTE ***********************************

The ANU 2.3-metre telescope at Siding Spring Observatory is scientifically productive and a valuable resource for student training and instrument development. These diverse and significant benefits justify its continued operation for the foreseeable future. The full cost to the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (RSAA) of operating the 2.3m telescope (including staff, maintenance and repairs) corresponds to approximately $1800 per night. To defray this cost, RSAA is offering priority on the 2.3m telescope to paying customers from Australia and elsewhere, while simultaneously ensuring a level of open access to astronomers at all Australian institutions.

60% of the telescope time will be allocated to paid priority proposals, which will need to contribute $900 per night towards the running costs of the telescope. The remaining 40% of the time is open-access and remains free. To be eligible to apply for open-access time, 50% or more of the proposers must be based at Australian institutions.


In future years the price of a priority night will increase and the fraction of open-access nights will decrease. Full details can be found at
https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/6bf3C5QPXJiZppwRlFOH15G?domain=rsaa.anu.edu.au

The latest information on using the telescope and its instruments can be found at http://https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/LcRSC6XQ4Lfr00ZMWHmbHfU?domain=rsaa.anu.edu.au

Announcement
The Research Centre for Astronomy, Astrophysics and Astrophotonics at Macquarie University (MQAAAstro), Sydney, Australia invites highly qualified candidates to apply for a three-year independent Macquarie University Research Fellowship.

About MQAAAstro
MQAAAstro (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/sbVvCzvkyVCMwPvlgT4jn40?domain=bit.ly) comprises research groups working in the areas of planet and star formation, stellar and binary evolution, Galactic archeology, the Galactic interstellar medium, galaxy formation and evolution, cosmology, and instrumentation. Macquarie hosts a new node of the ARC Centre of Excellence in All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions (ASTRO 3D), and enjoys strong links to the nearby CSIRO Astrophysics and Space Science division. Macquarie University also hosts a major node of the new national astronomy instrumentation capability, Australian Astronomical Optics (AAO), building instruments and data services for the world?s largest observatories.

Since 2012, MQAAAstro has consistently achieved the top ranking of ?Well above world standard? in the national assessment of astronomy research excellence (ERA). MQAAAstro is hosted within the Department of Physics and Astronomy, which holds a Silver Pleiades Award from the Inclusion, Diversity and Equity in Astronomy (IDEA) Chapter of the Astronomical Society of Australia, and has an active Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/1h6qCANpgjCNlmMy6c8-s1X?domain=bit.ly). Macquarie University itself is set in a pleasant lakeside campus on the edge of a National Park forest, just 30 minutes train-ride from the iconic centre of Sydney ? a vibrant and culturally diverse city.

About the Fellowship
The purpose of the Macquarie University Research Fellowships (MQRF) Scheme is to support researchers within three years of the award of their PhD who have an outstanding track record (relative to opportunity) and/or who show evidence of excellent research potential.  The Scheme provides an incubation period for early career researchers to allow them to increase their competitive edge in securing research funding from non-University sources, taking advantage of dedicated mentorship and support from the host department.

Up to ten University-wide Research Fellowships commencing in 2022 will be awarded on a competitive basis, and will be three years in duration. Gender equity is considered as part of the candidate assessment process, with the expectation that at least 40% of the 10 Fellowship recipients who are funded by this scheme will be female, and at least 40% will be male. The salary range for the Fellowship will be awarded at step 6, 7 or 8 of Level A of the Academic Salary Scale, plus annual leave loading and 17% employer superannuation. Supplementation by the host Department may be negotiated. The Fellowship also provides up to $50,000 for travel and equipment over its duration.

Position Eligibility
Applicants are eligible only if their PhD has been conferred on or after 1 March 2018 (exemptions can be requested), or their thesis will be submitted on or before 16 August 2021. At the time of applying for an Expression of Interest, applicants must have Australian Permanent Residency, Australian Citizenship or an existing entitlement to work in Australia for the duration of the fellowship (2022-2024) in order to be eligible to apply in 2021.

Application Process
Expressions of interests should be sent by email to kelly.sharpless at mq.edu.au<mailto:kelly.sharpless at mq.edu.au> by 6th May 2021, including a CV, one-page research interest statement with potential MQAAAstro sponsors identified, and cover letter. Following pre-selection (notification by 10th May), candidates will be mentored through the subsequent selection process, with a first stage expression of interest deadline of 19th May. Full applications will be required approximately 1 month later, with final outcomes expected by October.

For further enquiries, please contact kelly.sharpless at mq.edu.au<mailto:kelly.sharpless at mq.edu.au> (administrative queries) or richard.mcdermid at mq.edu.au<mailto:richard.mcdermid at mq.edu.au> (other enquiries about the Fellowship).

ESO Studentship Programme 2021

 

The latest round of applications for ESO Studentships, to commence between Aug 2021 and March 2022, is now open (see below). While mindful of the complexity and uncertainties associated with taking up a position overseas in the coming year, it is worth noting these studentships can open a pathway to rewarding careers for many years to come. By virtue of Australia?s Strategic Partnership with ESO, applications from Australian citizens receive the same preferential status as those from citizens of ESO member states. Please direct any questions about the ESO Studentship Programme to Monika Petr-Gotzens (for Garching-based students) at mpetr at eso.org <mailto:mpetr at eso.org> , or Heidi Korhonen (Santiago) at Heidi.Korhonen at eso.org <mailto:Heidi.Korhonen at eso.org> .

AAL endeavours to be an environmentally sustainable organisation built upon equity, diversity and mutual respect for its staff and stakeholders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ESO has recently released the call for applications for the ESO Studentship Programme.

 

The programme is designed for students who are enrolled in a PhD program. It gives them the opportunity to spend 1 or 2 years fully funded by ESO in either Garching or Vitacura to work on their PhD project under the supervision of an ESO Staff member.

 

ESO offers a unique international environment, populated by a diverse group of scientists and engineers all working together to support the observatory?s mission.

 

ESO?s PhD students have the chance to interact with all the ESO staff and to work closely with other PhD students, astronomers at early career stages like the ESO Fellows, and the astronomers of the ESO Faculty. The ESO offices in Germany are located in the Garching campus, which is one of the largest in Europe and which hosts several Astronomical Research Institutes. The Vitacura campus in Chile with the ESO and ALMA offices inhabits a lively scientific environment with almost 100 astronomers. ESO students in Chile have the opportunity to visit the observatory sites and to get involved in technical projects that allow insights into instrumentation or science operation. All ESO students are invited to participate in outreach activities; in Garching this is especially encouraged, as the ESO Supernova center is adjacent to the ESO office building.

 

The ESO Offices for Science both in Garching and Chile offer a rich variety of seminars, topical and daily science coffees and events, which create a stimulating scientific environment. ESO students are expected to participate actively and to practice their presentation/chairing skills. On top of the official supervisory team (Staff+Fellow) the Office for Science also supports the PhD students by providing mentors and monitoring progress with bi-yearly PhD reports to help the students during this very critical stage of their career.

 

The application deadline for the first call of 2021 is May 31st. To apply on-line, please visit the  <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/aPnFCp81lrtnOMyg7iDtTA8?domain=recruitment.eso.org> ESO recruitment portal ( <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/aPnFCp81lrtnOMyg7iDtTA8?domain=recruitment.eso.org/> https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/aPnFCp81lrtnOMyg7iDtTA8?domain=recruitment.eso.org).

 

More details about the programme can be found on the dedicated web pages:

 

 <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/jcXwCq71mwf8k0RgVTQip4Z?domain=eso.org> https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/jcXwCq71mwf8k0RgVTQip4Z?domain=eso.org
