Big pool of excellent astronomers, in case you are looking for some! #olympian2023 #astronomy #conference #Greece

Paper day: Jia Wei Teh, formerly working with Dr Katie Grasha Research at ANU and now Uni Heidelberg , quantified photon escape fractions from HII regions in the galaxy NGC628. Low-luminosity regions are leakier! arxiv.org/abs/2306.05457

Pressing the "submit" button for a paper on a Friday afternoon is particularly satisfying* *Especially when the last time pressing said button was an embarrassingly long time ago

(Medical) doctor says to me today: "You are an associate professor, that means that you are not really a professor, but you get to hang out with professors." 🤔 But yes, I have been promoted to associate professor, and I couldn't be happier! 🥳

I am hiring two PDRA's to work on the general theme of how planet forming discs/planet formation are affected by radiation environment. These are UKRI guarantee funded positions for my ERC consolidator grant. qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies…

1/ 📣 Using ALMA Observatory📡 , in which ESO is a partner, astronomers have discovered a disc around a star in another galaxy for the first time — a remarkable find, as these discs are the birthplace of new stars and planets! ✨🪐 More info: eso.org/public/news/es…

It's paper day! ESO did an amazing job at producing beautiful impressions of the HH 1177, more about it in our paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Just published in nature: 'A probable Keplerian disk feeding an optically revealed massive young star' by Anna McLeod et al.: nature.com/articles/s4158…

We are advertising our first ever CEA postdoctoral fellowship! This is an independent 3yr fellowship at Durham University, get in touch if you are interested: jobregister.aas.org/ad/cab8008c

Come join our new A&A department at UCSD and work with me on JWST observations of nearby galaxies!! Postdoc job ad now up on the AAS Register: jobregister.aas.org/ad/a61d3c64

NASA's fantastic AstroViz team has been working on a 3D render of the iconic Pillars of Creation in M16, check it out! youtu.be/Slx91ASCiXw?si… #NASA #astroviz #astronomy #Hubble #JWST #VLT

My amazing colleague @AstroRadioLeah 🤩

Check out the first first-author paper by my former MSc student Lucie Rowland, now PhD student at Sterrewacht Leiden working with 🇺🇦 Rychard Bouwens #IStandWithUkraine 🙌 Pre-supernova feedback clearly depends on metallicity: arxiv.org/abs/2402.12497

Incredible 3D rendering of arguably one of the most iconic star-forming regions, the Eagle Nebula. Humbled to have played a small part in this!

Come work with me at @ucsdastro! I'm hiring a postdoc to work on JWST spectroscopy of galaxies at cosmic noon. Should be an exciting opportunity to study the best kind of dust (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) in z~1 galaxies! aas.org/jobregister/ad…
