[NASA] SEEKING PARTNERS FOR THE ASTROBIOLOGY SCIENCE CONFERENCE

The Astrobiology Science Conference (AbSciCon) is an international
conference that brings together scientists, researchers, students, and
other professionals to disseminate the results of NASA funded research
and to update the broader community on its past, present, and future
missions that have astrobiological relevance.

NASA partners with organizations with common interests and goals in the
field of astrobiology to better meet the needs of this growing
community.

NASA's SMD Planetary Science Division is seeking to collaborate with an
entity, on a non-reimbursable (no-exchange-of-funds) basis, to oversee
planning and logistics, as well as develop program content, for a
biennial (approximately every 2 years) astrobiology science conference.
Proposals from non-U.S. entities either submitted alone or jointly with
a U.S. entity will not be considered. NASA is not seeking to partner
under this AFPP with entities primarily in the event planning or
logistics business.

All proposals must be submitted via the NSPIRES by July 17, 2026, to be
considered. For complete details visit:

https://go.nasa.gov/ABSCAFPP

Other inquiries (non-NSPIRES) must be submitted by email to:
rebecca.l.mccauleyrench@nasa.gov

by astronomers from all over the world to carry out a wide range of
astronomical research.

As a staff scientist, this position is open to all areas of astronomy,
but candidates with experience in radar observations and/or VLBI
techniques are especially encouraged to apply. Go to:

https://jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/aui/CANDIDATEPORTAL/jobs/1313

Essential duties and responsibilities include:

- Maintain an active independent research program which makes
  significant use of the GBT and other NRAO facilities.
- Provide GBT technical support and GBT user support for the broad
  astronomical community.
- Contribute to the overall Observatory mission and work within a
  collaborative environment that promotes motivation, leadership, and
  team building.

PHD POSITION: ATMOSPHERIC IMPACTS OF SATELLITE RE-ENTRIES

The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF), in collaboration with
Stockholm University (MISU), is recruiting a PhD student to study how
spacecraft re-entries affect Earth's atmosphere.

As satellite numbers increase, re-entries deposit material into the
atmosphere - but the altitude, particle size, and long-term effects
remain uncertain. This project combines radar and optical observations
(e.g. EISCAT, EISCAT_3D, ALIS_4D) with atmospheric modelling (e.g.
WACCM) to quantify these impacts.

The position is part of the Swedish National Graduate School of Space
Technology (SSRS), with research conducted jointly in Kiruna and
Stockholm.

Start: September 2026
Deadline: 20 May 2026

PHD POSITION: LOW-ENERGY IONS AT COMET 67P

The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) is seeking a PhD student
in space plasma physics to study low-energy ions around comet
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Using data from ESA's Rosetta mission, the project investigates how
ions form, decouple from neutral gas, and accelerate in the cometary
environment. The work combines spacecraft data analysis with particle
simulations (SPIS).

The PhD student will be enrolled at Umea University and based at IRF
in Kiruna.

Deadline: 27 May 2026

[EPSC2026] SESSION OPS5: EXPLORATION OF TITAN

We invite you to share your work in session OPS5.

Submission deadline: 13 May 2026, 13:00 CEST

Full details & submission link:

https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC2026/session/59134

Saturn's moon Titan, despite its satellite status, has nothing to envy
the planets: it has planetary dimensions, a substantial and dynamic
atmosphere, a carbon cycle, a variety of geological features (dunes,
lakes, rivers, mountains and more), seasons, and a potential hidden
ocean. It even now has its own mission: Dragonfly, selected by NASA in
the frame of the New Frontiers program. In this session, scientific
presentations are solicited to cover all aspects of current research on
Titan: from its interior to its upper atmosphere, using data collected
from the Cassini-Huygens mission (2004-2017) and/or from telescopes
(e.g., ALMA, JWST) and/or based on modelling and experimental efforts
to support the interpretation of past and future observations of this
unique world.

[ESA] PLATO'S GUEST OBSERVERS PROGRAMME: AO-1 CALL CLOSING SOON

ESA is looking forward to PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of
stars), scheduled for launch in under a year. PLATO will monitor a wide
field for several years, delivering imagettes and light curves for
hundreds of thousands of stars. Its goals include detecting terrestrial
planets in habitable zones and advancing asteroseismology, with most
data becoming public shortly after validation.

ESA now invites Guest Observer proposals for complementary science. The
First Announcement of Opportunity opened on 7 April and will close on
21 May, offering 8% telemetry for new targets, upgraded modes, and a
proprietary access period. Proposers are encouraged to review the
available material, join community initiatives, and submit their
research ideas.

LPI WEBINAR: ESCAPE VELOCITY - OVERCOMING IMPOSTER SYNDROME

May 19, 2026
3 p.m. EDT/ 2 p.m. CDT/ 1 p.m. MDT/ 12 p.m. PDT

Imposter syndrome describes the experiences of high-achievers who
attribute their success to external factors such as luck and report
feeling like frauds, in spite of having a track record of outstanding
accomplishments. In this webinar, Usha Rao, Ph.D., will address the
roots of Imposter syndrome and discuss the individual and structural
aspects that contribute to the experience. She will offer practical
solutions and actionable items that help to tackle the issue head-on
and reframe it to your advantage. For more information, visit:

LPI WEBINAR: MENTORING STRATEGIES

June 10, 2026
2 p.m. EDT/ 1 p.m. CDT/ 12 p.m. MDT/ 11 a.m. PDT

Good mentors can make all the difference for successful careers in
planetary science or astrobiology. Sometimes, different expectations
and assumptions can make it difficult for these relationships to
progress. Join panelists Dr. Justin Filiberto and Dr. Laurie Barge to
hear the different mentoring strategies that they have experienced in
their careers and used to support future and early-career scientists.

[DPS-58] LOW-COST MEETING OBSERVER OPTION8

Are you interested in planetary science, and ready to attend
professional talks on topics of interest, but costs of a professional
conference are not affordable? DPS is pleased to announce a virtual
attendance option that can fit a tightly constrained budget, as a
virtual meeting observer. This option is meant for a wide variety of
planetary science amateurs and professionals:

- Amateurs who want a deeper dive than what is in the popular press
- Leaders of high-school science clubs who will share with a group
- Students and faculty at community colleges and tribal colleges
- Retired professionals who lack emeritus status in a professional
  society
- Active professionals who don't have funding to attend *all* the
  conferences they would like

The virtual attendance option, available for $50, allows full watching
and listening to oral presentations and access to recorded sessions.

[DPS-58] TRAVEL GRANT APPLICATIONS

The Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) offers travel grants to
support attendance at DPS-58 to be held 25-30 October 2026 in Spokane,
Washington, U.S.A. At least 30 grants may be awarded at $500-$1500 each.

Hartmann Student Travel Grants support student presentations at the
annual DPS meeting. (Postdoctoral scholars may also be eligible, but
students are prioritized.) Award of a travel grant assumes submission

Underrepresented Minority (URM) Communities in Planetary Science Travel
Grants support attendance by students and professionals who are members
of groups that have had inadequate access to the planetary science
community.

Applicants for DPS travel grants do not need to be U.S. citizens or
permanent residents. Eligible candidates are welcome to apply for both
grants, but if selected would receive only one. Apply here:

MAHLI TECHNICAL REPORT RELEASED

The Mars Handlens Imager (MAHLI) instrument onboard the Mars Science
Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover releases Technical Reports at
relatively regular intervals. These reports are designed for the
non-MSL team member to be able to see what observations MAHLI has
acquired, and what the rationale was for taking them. These are
searchable word docs, so a target name is sufficient to isolate where
the MAHLI image was taken and when, as well as the associated technical
info (picture number, etc.).

MAHLI Tech Rept 0041 - Sols 4489-4612, is released. These are data that
went out to the public via NASA PDS earlier and all of the images were
already deleted from the DEA. The Tech report can be found on both
Zenodo and Research Gate. The citation is:
