What’s an astronomer’s vacation without a bit of science 😉 Had a great day yesterday talking about star formation and the IMF at IAC Astrofísica !

We are inviting applications for our 2023 IAU PhD prize, an award which celebrates the outstanding accomplishments made globally by PhD researchers in astrophysics. The deadline for applications is 15 December 2023. iau.org/news/announcem…

When you email all your coauthors ‘thanks to those who have provided their feedback’ but in reality no one provided you any feedback 😂🥲 #academia #astronomy

Last week to apply for the Oort Fellowship at Leiden Observatory Leiden University ! Please reach out if you have any questions :) jobregister.aas.org/ad/581f7e63 #academicjobs #postdocposition

Woah!

The IAU invites applications for the Gruber Fellowship 2024, a prestigious programme with the Gruber Foundation (GF) that supports young astronomers in the early stages of their research careers. The deadline for applications is 1 March 2024. iau.org/news/announcem…

‼️ Applications for LEAPS 2024 are now open ‼️ Leiden Observatory and ESA Science ESA Nederland invite applications for Leiden ESA/ESTEC summer research program in astrophysics. Visit leaps.strw.leidenuniv.nl for more details Deadline: Feb 1, 2024 #summerinternship #internship #astronomy

Unbelievable! I started my career in astronomy as an undergrad working on Chandra Observatory N132D data. Very excited to see all the new information coming out of XRISM !

From the Leiden Observatory obituary of Maarten Schmidt (known for the Kennicutt-Schmidt relation, among other things) So nothing much has changed since 1958: we still don’t fully understand star formation and the housing market in NL

LET the particles have mass Benjamin Wibking ! Why won’t you let them?

I am very happy to announce, together with Jorge Melendez , the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Symposium 395: Stellar populations in the Milky Way and Beyond iaus395.iag.usp.br - a symposium to honor the career of Prof. Beatriz Barbuy. in the historic town of Paraty, in Brazil, this November.

Great opportunity for ECRs starting a new postdoc!

To all astronomers, especially early career colleagues and people at non-R1 institutions/MSIs. NASA Astrophysics is looking for reviewers for incoming remote panels. Please, fill this 5-minute form (there is a June 10 deadline): science3.nasa.gov/researchers/vo…

Excited to be putting this paper out! Super fun collaboration with Yuan-Sen Ting 丁源森 ourANU OSU Astronomy and Neige Frankel University of Toronto Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics bringing gas and stars together. Paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2405.18223
