AGU Position Statements on Climate Change, Safeguarding Data, and Freely Communicating Science Open for Comment

From: Kathy Reeves (kreeves at cfa.harvard.edu)

AGU members have until 30 April to comment on revisions to three AGU position statements addressing climate change, science communication and data, respectively. Position statements are what enable AGU to provide scientific expertise on significant policy issues. Submit your comments to help shape the future of the Earth and space sciences. Note that all comments will be made public.

JOB OPENING: Research Engineer III / Instrument Scientist III

From: Holly Gilbert (hgilbert at ucar.edu)

The High Altitude Observatory (HAO) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder Colorado has an opening for an Instrumentation Scientist III position. This position designs and develops scientific instruments to study the Sun and applies analytical tools to study basic physical processes. Serves as Principal Investigator of the Coronal and Solar Magnetism Observatory (COSMO) Large Coronagraph, playing a leading role in developing and realizing the large coronagraph instrument as part of the future COSMO facility. 

The job location is in Boulder, Colorado. This is a full-time regular position after Appointments Review Group (ARG) approval. Visa sponsorship and relocation assistance are available for the position. Applications will be received until May 13, 2024 (with the possibility of an extension).
