COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT: COMMERCIAL LUNAR PAYLOAD SERVICES VIRTUAL DISCUSSION ON DECEMBER 4 – TODAY!
Dear Lunar Community,
We would like to host a two-hour virtual discussion session TODAY Wednesday,
December 4 from 2–4 p.m. EST in order to share our thoughts on how we plan
to solicit science instruments and payloads for exploration and technology
demonstrations for upcoming Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS)
and international missions. We will share more about the general plan early
next week, but we wanted folks to block off their calendars at this time. This
meeting is intended as an open discussion between HQ and the broader SMD,
STMD, and HEO communities to ensure that appropriate feedback on the process
is heard and factored into the end overall process.
Connection and timing information is below. Thank you in advance for your interest
and participation. We anticipate that the meeting will be archived and available
to those who cannot make this time slot.
General questions may be sent to [email protected].
Cheers,
Brad, Ben, Sarah, Kevin and Andrew
What: Instrument and payload solicitation process discussion for CLPS (and other opportunities)
When: 2–4pm EST (11am–1pm PST) December 4, 2019

JOBS, POSITIONS, OPPORTUNITIES
A) LECTURER/SENIOR LECTURER IN GEOPHYSICS
The University of Bristol School of Earth Sciences seeks an outstanding candidate
for a permanent Lectureship appointment within the broad area of geophysics.
Research areas include the use of physics to study any aspect of the interior, surface,
or atmosphere of the Earth or other planetary bodies. We welcome applications with
either a pure or applied focus.
The School of Earth Sciences is internationally leading in research, teaching, and
impact (2nd in UK, top-15 internationally). The Geophysics group currently consists
of 7 permanent academics, 1 technician, 15 postdocs/research fellows, and 20 PhD
students. Research spans a wide range of geophysical topics including seismology,
potential fields, remote sensing, earth observation, tectonics, mineral physics,
geodynamics, atmospheric science, and planetary science.
The successful candidate will conduct world-class, innovative and agenda-setting
research that complements and extends the research portfolio of the existing geophysics
group and the broader School. A demonstrated track record of research excellence
and ability to obtain external funding are essential.
The post holder will also be enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge with students
and will have a strong commitment to classroom and fieldwork teaching. We offer
undergraduate BSc and MSci degree programmes in Geophysics, Geology,
Environmental Geoscience, and Palaeontology and Evolution (~80 students per
year total). The School also has two postgraduate taught MSc programmes in
addition to a vibrant cohort of postgraduate research students (~100 total).
Application deadline: 7 January 2020
