Substantial advancements in the field by groundbased observers, spacecraft missions, and theoretical modelers amply motivate the organization of Comets III as a proposed new volume in the University of Arizona Press Space Science Series under the editorial production guidance of the Lunar and Planetary Institute. Chapters for Comets III would be due in 2022 with the volume being published in 2023. An open call is being made for expressions of interest to participate in Comets III as authors, members of the scientific organizing committee, and/or editors. To indicate your interest, download, fill out, and submit an indication of interest form: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/publications/books/Comets_III/ Please submit your responses no later than October 15, 2019. Questions may be addressed to the General Editor of the Space Science Series, Richard Binzel (rpb@mit.edu). 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 POST-DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSISTANT AT THE FLORIDA SPACE INSTITUTE/ UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA IN SMALL-BODY PLANETARY SCIENCES The Florida Space Institute (FSI) at the University of Central Florida (UCF) invites applications for a postdoctoral associate position to carry out research on the physical processes on the surface of small bodies such as asteroids. The position will have a start date before November 2019 and is renewable annually for up to three years. Minimum Qualifications: A Ph.D. from an accredited institution in physics, astronomy, astrophysics, planetary sciences, or a related field is required. Preferences: Experience in the following is of interest: Hands-on experience in hardware design, manufacturing, and operation; Laboratory work with cryogenic samples; Mentoring of undergraduate students; One or more of the following coding languages: IDL, Python, C, C++, Fortran. EEO Employer: As an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, UCF encourages all qualified applicants to apply, including women, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and members of traditionally underrepresented populations. UCF's Equal Opportunity Statement can be viewed at: http://www.oie.ucf.edu/documents/PresidentsStatement.pdf As a Florida public university, UCF makes all application materials and selection procedures available to the public upon request. All applications and supporting documents should be submitted electronically at: https://jobs.ucf.edu/cw/en-us/job/498004 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 [NASA] ROSES-19: MDAP DUE DATES DELAYED The objective of the Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP) is to enhance the scientific return from missions to Mars conducted by NASA and other space agencies. MDAP did not specifically mention Insight on the non-exclusive list of Missions in Section 1, its inclusion was merely implied. This Amendment explicitly adds the name of the Insight mission to that list to allow the inclusion of Insight Mission data in proposals to MDAP. To allow more time for proposers who were unaware that Insight data was eligible, the MDAP due dates have been delayed as follows: Step-1 proposals are now due by September 20, 2019 and Step-2 proposals by November 20, 2019.

Proposals to GBO, NRAO, and LBO for the scientific use of radio telescopes are evaluated on the basis of scientific merit and technical feasibility using a panel-review system. The system aims to ensure that scientifically knowledgeable peers, representing the broad diversity of the community at large, provide expert proposal evaluations. In response to community concern that planetary science has been under-represented on previous panels, NRAO, GBO, and LBO are particularly welcoming volunteer panelists who are engaged in Solar System science. More information on the NRAO/GBO/LBO proposal review process can be found here: https://science.nrao.edu/observing/proposal-types/volunteer_review Please fill out the web form to volunteer here: https://www.aoc.nrao.edu/~mclausse/newex.html 6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 POSTDOCTORAL OPPORTUNITIES IN CHILE The Chilean FONDECYT opened a call for postdoctoral positions in Chile related to projects of 2-3 years.
