NSF Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellows
NSF AAPF Meetings and Symposia
Current Meeting: Jan 5-6, 2007, Seattle,
WA
This Symposium takes place Friday & Saturday, January 5-6, concurrent
with the AAPT/AAS Joint Winter Meeting in Seattle. The symposium will
consist of a keynote talk by Jay Pasachoff, an invited talk on
education research by Doug Duncan, contributed talks by AAPFs on their
research and education projects, and discussion panels on (1) new
directions in undergraduate education in astronomy, (2) teaching the
night sky in the modern world, and (3) making the transition from a
postdoc to a career position. Prospective fellowship applicants,
science educators and other members of the astronomy and astrophysics
community are welcome and encouraged to attend. The NSF Astronomy and
Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities for highly
qualified investigators within three years of obtaining their PhD to
carry out an integrated program of independent research and
education. The program is intended to recognize early- career
investigators of significant potential and to provide them with
experience in research and education that will establish them in
positions of distinction and leadership in the community. This is an
AAS-sponsored event and AAPT members are invited to attend. For more
information, contact Erik Rosolowsky (erosolow/snail/cfa/harvard/edu)
