From NSF/AGS -
________________
Colleagues,
We hope you are well. Please see the below announcements from the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences at NSF, paying particular attention to a variety of opportunities to interact with division staff.
Outreach
- AGS will host a drop-in Virtual Office Hour on 17 November 2022 between 3-4 PM EST for students and faculty members at non-R1 academic institutions (e.g., Community Colleges, Tribal Colleges and Universities, MSIs, HBCUs, Undergraduate, Masters, and R2 Institutions). Please register using this link (https://nsf.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIscumvqjksHAH9skddjT-e7S-M8vgpjqI) to drop by and chat with AGS program directors about questions or concerns that you have.
- The Directorate for Geosciences will be hosting a booth at the AGU meeting in Chicago. Please stop by to ask questions and learn about funding opportunities.
- AGS wants to highlight the Facilities for Atmospheric Research and Education (FARE) townhall at AGU, to be held virtually on Monday, December 5th (week before AGU), from 12:45 to 13:45 CST. https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/meetingapp.cgi/Session/161817. In this townhall, the FARE program director will provide a brief overview of the FARE program, including strategic vision for the program and the request process for the use of FARE supported facilities. Short lightning talks from four FARE supported facility providers will be followed by ample time for Q&A from the community of current and potential users of FARE. NSF's objective for this townhall is to broaden participation and welcome the use of FARE supported facilities by MSIs, PUIs, first time users, and educators who may not be traditional users of these research facilities.
Career Opportunity
The Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) announces a nation-wide search for a Program Director for its Diversity and Education programs. This is being advertised as a rotator position. Formal consideration of interested applicants will begin November 15, 2022 and will continue until a selection is made.
Solicitation Update
The updated Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (AGS-PRF) solicitation was recently released. The FAQs and associated Handbook (to be posted soon here) for the program have now been released.
Best regards,
