Dear Colleagues,
Hope you are keeping well and safe.
Some news on the staffing front: starting next week, Dr. Carrie Black, program director of the Geospace Facilities program in AGS begins a new assignment in the Division of Astronomical Sciences (AST) in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences directorate at NSF. She will be the program director for the Daniel K Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST). We thank Carrie for her years of service with us. We are going to miss Carrie but look forward to continued interactions between AGS and AST with her being there. The job opportunity for program director in the Geospace Facilities program is out (details below).
I am also providing information about a new AGS solicitation, Community Instruments and Facilities (CIF) in case you missed the notification from Nick Anderson earlier this week. A webinar is planned for August 24th. Please register in advance if you are interested in participating.
Best wishes,
Anjuli
