From: Christina Cohen (cohen at srl.caltech.edu)

Dear Colleagues,

We are soliciting nominations for this year's Bowie lectures.  At the 2019 Fall Meeting, the Parker lecture and the Nicolet lecture will be given which honor Space Scientists who have made significant contributions in the fields of Solar and Heliospheric science and Aeronomy, respectively.

Please send nominee names and a brief description supporting them to either Christina Cohen (cohen at srl.caltech.edu) or Geoff Reeves (geoff at reevesresearch.org) by Monday, July 1, 2019.

Thank you for your contributions,
Christina and Geoff

Space Weather in the Digital Age

From: Ryan McGranaghan, Enrico Camporeale, Anastasios Anastasiadis, Manolis Georgoulis (ryan.mcgranaghan at colorado.edu)

Dear AGU community,

We hope you are enjoying a fantastic June. 

This is just a friendly reminder that you now have a unique opportunity to help shape a conversation around SPA research in light of our changing data landscape by contributing your excellent work to a new Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate topical issue:  "Space Weather research in the Digital Age and across the full data lifecycle”!

The deadline for submissions until September 30, 2019. 

To be a part of the discussion and to submit your fantastic work please find full details here: https://tinyurl.com/SpaceWeather-DigitalAge. We encourage you to help define the topical discussion taking shape in our community.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with your questions, thoughts, and manuscripts.

Warm Regards,
Ryan McGranaghan on behalf of Enrico Camporeale, Anastasios Anastasiadis, Manolis Georgoulis, and the Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate editorial staff

For questions regarding this topical issue, please contact the Topical Editor-in-Chief, Ryan McGranaghan.
For questions concerning the submission process the Editorial Office (jswsc at edpsciences.org) should be contacted.

ESA Research Fellowships in Space Science

From: Oliver Jennrich (fellowship at cosmos.esa.int)

The European Space Agency awards several postdoctoral fellowships each year.

The aim of these fellowships is to provide scientists in their early career, 
holding a PhD or the equivalent degree, with the means of performing research
in fields related to the ESA Science Programme. 

Areas of research include planetary science, astronomy and
astrophysics, solar and solar-terrestrial science, plasma physics and
fundamental physics. The fellowships have a duration of two years, with the 
possible extension to three years, and are tenable at the 
European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, Netherlands, 
or at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) in Villafranca del Castillo, 
near Madrid, Spain.

Applications are now solicited for fellowships in space science to begin in
the fall of 2020. Preference will be given to applications submitted by
candidates in an early stage of their career. Candidates not holding
a PhD yet are encouraged to apply, but they must provide evidence of
receiving their degree before starting the fellowship.

ESA fellows are enrolled in ESA's Social Security Scheme, which covers
medical expenses. A monthly deduction covers these short-term and long-term risks.

The deadline for applications is 1 October 2019.

More information on the ESA Research Fellowship programme in Space Science,
on the conditions and eligibility, as well as the application form can retrieved from 
http://cosmos.esa.int/fellowship

Questions on the scientific aspects of the
ESA Fellowship in Space Science not answered in the above pages can be sent
by e-mail to the fellowship coordinators, Dr. Oliver Jennrich or Dr. Jan-Uwe Ness 
at the address fellowship at cosmos.esa.int
