Subject: interview request
Hello,
I am working on a book for Kaplan Publishing that focuses on helping students
decide which careers to pursue. We've researched a list of "hot" careers, both
in terms of what students are interested in pursuing, and jobs with tremendous
growth potential. High on the list are careers in science, and I would like to
find an astronomer who might be willing fill out a short interview about how
they decided on their career and how they achieved success. This is a great
opportunity to give students some exposure to your field.
I have a list of questions that I would be happy to email. I would appreciate
any help at all you might be able to provide.
I can be reached by email or phone 212-505-7611. I look forward to hearing
from you.
Thank you,
Nancy Hirsch

3. Hopkins Endorses Gender Parity
From: WIPHYS of December 11, 2006
A newly-released study recommends that Johns Hopkins University make efforts
to achieve 50% representation of females in senior faculty and leadership
positions by 2020. The three year study found that Hopkins lags behind similar
research institutions specifically in the recruiting and hiring process. For
example, the study found that in 2005, women comprised 51% of the student body,
yet only 36% of the full-time faculty. The study suggests that more attention
should be focused on issues such as career flexibility and that a special
emphasis should be placed on recruiting and hiring women for leadership
positions, which are noted to have a higher turnover rate than faculty
positions http://insidehighered.com/news/2006/11/21/hopkins

7. Postdoctoral Research Associates - NOAO
From: Patricia Knezek (knezeknoao.edu)
Reposted: Job #806
The National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) in Tucson, Arizona, invites
applications for two or more postdoctoral researchers in observational galaxy
evolution.
One or more positions will be available for work with Mark Dickinson and
colleagues on science from a new Spitzer Legacy survey, a deep/wide
far-infrared survey of cosmological star formation and AGN activity. This
project, which is currently lacking a catchy acronym, has been awarded 397
hours with Spitzer/MIPS to survey 0.5 square degrees in two main fields: the
Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS), and the Extended Groth Strip
(EGS/AEGIS). 70 micron imaging for 0.05 square degrees in GOODS-N is also being
completed. The program will study high redshift, dust obscured star formation
and AGN using the deepest and most extensive 70 micron Spitzer data, as well as
24 micron data with "near-GOODS" depth. The survey fields have extensive,
multiwavelength data from Spitzer, Chandra, HST, and ground-based telescopes.
Successful applicants will be expected to take leading roles in research
projects, as well as to help with the data reduction and analysis, and to work
with supporting data from other facilities or new observing programs. This
survey begins collecting data in late August 2006, and will continue through
summer 2007. Successful candidates could begin work immediately, and applicants
who would be available soon are strongly encouraged to apply. However, this is
not a requirement.
Another position will be available for work with Arjun Dey, Buell Jannuzi, Mark
Dickinson, and others, on "intersurvey" research, analyzing data from
complementary wide-field and deep surveys such as the NOAO Deep Wide-Field
Survey (NDWFS), the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS), the new
Spitzer Legacy MIPS survey described above, and perhaps others. Combining the
strengths of these surveys, which cover a wide swath of area/depth parameter
space, will make it possible to address questions in galaxy evolution utilizing
large samples spanning a wide range of redshift and environment. We intend to
focus on studies generally beyond the scope of any individual survey, such as
the evolution of rare populations, clustering evolution, and environmental
dependencies of galaxy evolution. The successful applicant will be largely able
to determine the direction of the research program based on their interests.
Applicants are sought with interest and experience in observational studies of
galaxy formation, evolution, and clustering. Expertise in any of the following
topics would be preferred: optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of distant
galaxies, photometric redshift estimation, interpretation of galaxy properties
from broad-band spectral energy distributions, star formation and stellar
populations at high redshift, and the interplay between star formation and AGN
activity. Skills for analyzing and organizing complex, multiwavelength data
sets are a plus. Appointments are initially for one year, with extension for up
to three years contingent on performance and funding. Applicants should submit
a CV, a list of publications, and a statement of current and future research
interests electronically and reference Postdoctoral Research in Observational
Galaxy Evolution, by 30 October 2006. Early applications will be considered
immediately for the Spitzer Legacy survey positions. Please arrange to have
three letters of reference sent electronically (preferred) or by mail to the
address shown below. Applications will be considered for all of the positions
described here, but please state if you have a preference or special interest
among these projects. Questions may be directed to Mark Dickinson,
mednoao.edu.
