JOB ANNOUNCEMENT: LECTURER, ASTRONOMY AND PHYSICS (UCF)

The Department of Physics at the University of Central Florida (UCF)
invites applications for a 9-month, non-tenure earning lecturer
position, anticipated to start in August 2025. This position is
renewable annually, with the possibility of summer teaching
assignments. We seek candidates to teach upper-division undergraduate
courses in astronomy and physics, focusing on courses for our
astronomy-track majors and minors, as well as large-enrollment sections
of introductory astronomy, physics, and physical science courses for a
variety of majors. The successful applicant is expected to demonstrate
potential for excellence in teaching. Lecturers in the department
typically have instructional duties and some service assignments in
accordance with the department's current equitable workload policy.
Lecturers are encouraged to pursue independent research. Research,
curriculum development, and other activities can reduce the teaching
assignment. There is a career path for lecturers with the possibility
of promotion based on years of service and performance.

Minimum Qualifications: Ph.D. in astronomy, physics, or a closely
related field from an accredited institution. Experience teaching
astronomy courses at the undergraduate level.

MARS MATISSE COMMUNITY WORKSHOP

The 2025 "Mars Magnetosphere ATmosphere Ionosphere and Space-weather
SciencE" (M-MATISSE) community workshop will be held on 19-23 May 2025
at University College London, United Kingdom. Everyone with interest in
the ESA Medium class (M7) mission candidate is welcome to participate.

The workshop aims to bring the scientific community together to discuss
the M-MATISSE M7 mission candidate progress in order to help with the
consolidation of the M-MATISSE science report (i.e., the Yellow Book)
that it is due in early 2026. This is a chance to help shape the
science of the mission.

Participants are invited to submit abstracts addressing one or more of
the scientific goals of the mission that can be found at:

Abstract deadline: 24 January 2025.

Registration deadline: 31 March 2025 - There are no registration fees.

Early Career Support deadline: 24 January 2025. We are able to support
a few early careers. The application for this support will open soon,
please check our website for updates.

SUBMIT A PLANETARY SESSION TO THE 2025 GSA CONNECTS ANNUAL MEETING

19-22 October 2025 in San Antonio, Texas

https://community.geosociety.org/gsa2025

Planetary science will take center stage at the 2025 meeting as one of
its three main themes:

From Earth to the Cosmos: Geoscience Beyond Our Planet

This theme invites exploration of planetary geoscience in its full
scope, bridging terrestrial geology with the study of solid, icy, and
gaseous bodies across the Solar System and extending to exoplanets.
Planetary science covers impacts, volcanism and tectonism,
atmospheric, sedimentary, and hydrologic processes, regolith
formation, potential biosignatures and habitability. New frontiers
include materials for In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), such as ice
and critical minerals, which are crucial for supporting future human
habitation on other worlds. Through this expanded lens, geoscientists
can explore not only Earth's unique attributes but also the geological
and material diversity across our Solar System, contributing to
advancements in both science of planetary environments and commercial
space exploration.

GSA also welcomes proposals for field trips and short courses.

[NASA] PLANETARY SCIENCE DIVISION PLANETARY DATA ECOSYSTEM WEBSITE

NASA's Planetary Science Division has developed a Planetary Data
Ecosystem (PDE) website as a community resource and to help increase
the discoverability of and access to planetary data, tools, and related
information.

On this new website, you'll discover Planetary Science Division funded:

- Data repositories, databases, and catalogs that include data and
  higher-order data products from space missions and ground-based
  facilities and generated by research and analysis projects.
- Software and tools including applications for data processing,
  mission support, visualization, models and simulation tools, and data
  analysis tools tailored for planetary science applications.
- Standards and policies help researchers perform robust planetary
  science and following open science practices.
- Learning resources, such as presentations, tutorials, past workshop
  materials, and upcoming events, so that we remain on the cutting edge
  of data analysis and lower barriers for using planetary data and
  tools.
- Community groups focused on planetary science and exploration.

This website can be viewed at:

BYSTANDER INTERVENTION TRAINING OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PLANETARY SCIENCE
COMMUNITY

A virtual 4 hour Bystander Intervention training is available for the
planetary science community:

January 9, 2025
1-5 pm Eastern
No cost to participants

Bystander intervention is an evidence-based framework intended to
reduce the burden on targets of harassment by shifting the
responsibility of responding to harassment from the target to the
community. This training will include background information,
discussion, and tools and strategies for intervening in problem
situations.

Additional information about the program can be found here:

https://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/advancingidea2024/pdf/2029.pdf

To enroll in the class, please email Kristen Bennett at
kbennett@usgs.gov

The class will be limited to 25 participants. If there is
sufficient demand, additional classes will be scheduled.

INITIATIVE TO CREATE A PLANETARY SCIENCE DIAMOND OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL

Members of the planetary science community are leading an initiative to
create a planetary science diamond open access journal. Diamond open
access means that it is free for authors to publish, and free for
readers and libraries to access. Over the past couple of years there
has been an explosions of such journals in the geosciences (like
Volcanica, Seismica, Tektonika, and Geodynamica, to name a few), and we
will be following a similar approach that they used.

All of our internal discussions are occurring in an open forum, and if
this is a project that interests you, please feel free to sign in using

NEW HORIZONS SCIENCE SPOTLIGHT WEBINAR

Join us on 19 December 2024, 2:30-3pm EST (11:30-12 PST,12:30-1pm MST,
1:30-2pm CST)

New Horizons continues its operation, now at 58.8au from the Sun. Since
2015 it has made ground-breaking discoveries of the Pluto-Charon
system, flown past the small contact KBO binary Arrokoth and collected
phase and light curve data for some three dozen additional KBOs and the
ice giants. It has also been sampling dust density throughout the Solar
System and studying the cosmic optical background. To raise awareness
of New Horizon's scientific impact we are beginning a new spotlight
seminar series (30 min, fourth week each month) which we invite you to
attend online, or watch recorded at your convenience.

Our speaker will be Wesley Fraser of the Herzberg Institute of
Astronomy and Astrophysics and he will be speaking on:

"Candidate Distant Trans-Neptunian Objects Detected by the New Horizons
Subaru TNO Survey"
