SMALL BODIES ASSESSMENT GROUP (SBAG) STEERING COMMITTEE (SC) POSITION

 

SBAG has extended the application period for its open Human Exploration

Lead SC position (3-yr term) due to low response rate. The SC organizes

human exploration (or adjacent tasks in support of that endeavor), aware

relevant to human exploration. Under their guidance, SBAG will continue

advancing our knowledge of potential small body destinations and their

environments for human exploration.

 

The application requires: 1) a two-page CV, including a description of

participation in SBAG or other small bodies organizations, 2) a short (300

words maximum) statement of interest. Criteria for selection includes

participation in small bodies community organizations,

leadership experience, and relevant research/mission experience.

 

In support of diversity, applicants may specify gender, whether they

belong to an underrepresented group in STEM, or other relevant

information.

 

E-mail applications to Lori Feaga ([email protected]) by May 31, 2023,

8:00 PM EDT. New members will be announced at the 29th Meeting of SBAG
