Apply now for membership on the Executive Committee (EC) of the Physics of the Cosmos (PCOS) Program Analysis Group (PhysPAG). NASA expects to make multiple appointments, each for three years. We welcome self-nominations and encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds and from all career stages. There is no limitation on citizenship, but nominations will only be accepted for scientists who reside at a U.S. institution for the period of service.
Key skills include good communication, a desire and ability to facilitate community organization and collaboration, and a broad perspective across the PCOS disciplines. Knowledge of technology additionally helps support PCOS technology objectives, including clarifying technology gaps; selection will consider a balance of members with expertise in technology and in other areas. With the anticipated release of the Astro2020 Decadal Survey, it will be critical in the coming years to maintain a strong connection between NASA and the astrophysics community.
Please see the Dear Colleague Letter for a more full description of this opportunity, including the deadline and how to apply for membership on the EC. The deadline for nominations has been extended to November 12, 2021.
