Secondl is the latest information from STA, including their statement on the MInister's veto of ARC funding. Note that the STA email mentions also the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science. I have also attached more information on these. Best wishes John Lattanzio ASA President ---------- Forwarded message 1 --------- From: PMPRIZES Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2022 at 2:21 pm Subject: Prime Minister's Prizes for Science - 2022 nominations promotion [SEC=OFFICIAL] Good afternoon, I am writing to you on behalf of the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources. As you may be aware, nominations for the 2022 Prime Minister?s Prizes for Science (the Prizes) are open until Thursday 10 February 2022 (5:00pm AEDT). As a valued and influential organisation within the science sector, I am writing to seek your *help to promote the call for nominations through your communication channels*. To help make this as easy as possible, please see the *attached* toolkit and associated assets for you to promote the Prizes, including: ? printable posters ? social media graphics/tiles to share with proposed capping text ? website banners and graphics ? printable information flyers ? email signature blocks. Your support to help recognise Australia?s world-class science community is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don?t hesitate to contact me on the details below. *Warm regards* *Holly Hasenkam* *Communications & Events Officer* Science Communciations Team | Communications Branch Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources *P* 02 6213 7038 | *E* *pmprizes at industry.gov.au * Ngunnawal Country, 10 Binara Street, Canberra City *industry*https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/NoPWCOMKzVTpy5lBGfkO0FC?domain=gov.au | ABN 74 599 608 295 OFFICIAL ---------- Forwarded message 2 --------- *Misha Schubert * 28 January 2022 at 11:22 *The STA Member Update is sent to the leadership of member organisations. You can forward to your executive and membership.* Dear John, The year is in full swing already. As we navigate the Omicron wave of the pandemic, the nation is preparing for a Budget and an election. In our pre-Budget submission , Science & Technology Australia makes a powerful case that science has shielded Australia?s economy from the pandemic ? and science should be at the centre of this Budget. This is an urgent moment to secure the strategic science capabilities Australia will need to face the next set of complex challenges ahead. As STA President Mark Hutchinson and I see it : ?We should fund science like our lives and our economy depend on it, because they do.? Meanwhile the research community has come out strongly over the Ministerial veto of six ARC grants late last year. There?s an important principle at stake here. The independence of research is key in a liberal democracy. That independence is enshrined in the Haldane Principle dating back to 1918. STA?s statement is on our website . We are also concerned about fresh delays in two more grant rounds - the ARC LIEF and Discovery Projects 2023. We need an end to these delays once and for all, by shifting to fixed timetables for grant applications and announcements. We will continue to seek progress on this. It was uplifting to see this week?s Australian honours recognise so many scientists. Former STA Vice-President Sue Barrell is now an AO, Superstar of STEM Kate Cole an OAM, and Australia?s former Chief Scientist Alan Finkel an AC. Our warmest congratulations to every scientist honoured. The PM?s Prizes for Science nominations close soon - on 10 February. Diversity and representation matter. Please take time to nominate brilliant scientists of all backgrounds for these prestigious awards - and especially Indigenous scientists, women and people of colour. The STA staff team is expanding to help support our strong membership growth. We are delighted to welcome Emma Hibbert from 1 February in the new role of Membership Engagement Officer. She?ll work to our Director of Membership and Events Lucy Guest and with our Membership Officer Shannon Wong. Emma is a science student at ANU and is passionate about diversity in STEM. You?ll be able to reach her at members at sta.org.au Finally, it?s now just a month until Science Meets Parliament ! If you haven?t already, register your delegates now and encourage your members to apply for one of our coveted scholarships . Until next time, Misha Schubert CEO, Science & Technology Australia *REGISTER NOW: SCIENCE MEETS PARLIAMENT 2022* Registrations are open for SmP 2022 . Each STA member organisation is invited to send three delegates to the online event running from 28 February?4 March.

Position Location Deadline Operations Staff Astronomer / Instrument Scientist Paranal 13 Mar 2022 Photonics Engineer/Physicist Garching 6 Mar 2022 ALMA Regional Centre Astronomer Garching 6 Feb 2022 In addition, there are ongoing openings for Internships in Science Journalism . Although these are unpaid positions, ESO does offer a monthly allowance to cover living expenses and provides accommodation in Garching, as well as cover the cost of a return trip from/to Australia. Applications are reviewed every 4-6 months during the year. The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is the foremost intergovernmental astronomy organisation in Europe and the world's most productive ground-based astronomical observatory. ESO carries out an ambitious programme focused on the design, construction and operation of powerful ground-based observing facilities enabling astronomers to make important scientific discoveries at various sites in Chile, and its headquarters in Garching, Germany. Australia has a 10 year Strategic Partnership enabling it to access ESO telescopes at La Silla Paranal Observatory, including the world-leading 8 metre Very Large Telescope. Australians may also apply for positions with ESO across all its operations on the same basis as member states. Working at ESO gives Australians exposure to sophisticated scientific and engineering skills and helps build formal and informal networks with European astronomers, engineers and colleagues in other big science organisations. Further details are available at ESO's Recruitment Portal. While borders have been re-opening for travel (for vaccinated individuals), there are still restrictions on overseas travel from Australia . If you're an Australian citizen or permanent resident, you can't leave Australia unless * you're fully vaccinated, or unable to be vaccinated due to age or medical exemption; * you get an exemption to travel; or * you're travelling to a destination that's exempt from restrictions. Foreign citizens are able to depart Australia at any time.
