Monitoring Educational Equity – Book

Disparities in educational attainment among population groups have characterized the United States throughout its history. Education is sometimes characterized as the “great equalizer,” but to date, the country has not found ways to successfully address the adverse effects of socioeconomic circumstances, prejudice, and discrimination that suppress performance for some groups.

This event continues the tradition of an international meeting focused on the latest results from experiment and theory in all aspects of nuclear physics and its applications. In addition, as many of the participants are related to academia, university and education, we consider that is important to include the issue of Nuclear Physics Education. The main topics of the symposium but not limited to are:

1.Structure, Phases of Nuclear Matter, QCD.

2.High Energy Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology.

3.Nuclear Structure, Nuclear Reactions and Exotic Nuclei.

4.Precision Measurements with Nuclei. Fundamental Interactions and Neutrinos.

5.Medical Physics (Radiotherapy, Nuclear Medicine, Radiodiagnostics, MRI, radiation protection, Ultrasound and Monte Carlo simulations).

6.Nuclear Analytical Techniques and Applications in Art, Archaeology, Environment Oceanography, Energy, Space and Security.

7.Nuclear Instrumentation and Facilities.

8.Education on Nuclear Physics and Applications.

NASA Hubble Fellowship Program (NHFP)
Company: Space Telescope Science Institute
Location: Baltimore, MD

On behalf of the NASA Astrophysics Division, the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) announces the call for applications for postdoctoral fellowships under the NASA Hubble Fellowship Program (NHFP) beginning in the fall of 2020.

The NHFP supports promising postdoctoral scientists performing independent research that contributes to NASA Astrophysics (see https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__science.nasa.gov_astrophysics_&d=DwIF-g&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=hjwEO_XYlnwAQWUGeaCrW47w4mK-Al28-BKyRvaivBs&m=yeloR1zdixSM02PqYOdirmICY5CJL4xrjec85_esKKA&s=cWDBUqct7MUnEShGESGOTa-YXSVw8CNBYbPvkDq8RO8&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__science.nasa.gov_astrophysics_&d=DwMFAw&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=45ucIEKyq0pHGO-wQTsdbRghpM6p6HwwJJKBjgpK5ZU&m=9kmXs3FsmbKYueyQp0F9zPPPQjHJBgUHocZMQnF34ns&s=hz4-g_BACLzy1qyJcD3dENM2mDg15RfjcTALvO2tjrI&e=>  for more
information). The research may be theoretical, observational, and/or instrumental. If your application is successful and you accept our offer, you will become an Einstein, Hubble or Sagan fellow depending on the area of your research. We are continuing the legacy of those three earlier programs in this way, and through joint management of the program by STScI, in collaboration with the Chandra X-ray Center and the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute.

The NHFP is open to applicants of any nationality who have earned (or will have earned) their doctoral degree on or after January 1, 2017 in astronomy, physics or related disciplines. The duration of the Fellowship is up to three years: an initial one-year appointment, and two annual renewals contingent on satisfactory performance and availability of NASA funds. Eligibility may extend to those who received their PhD as early as January 1, 2016, if professional work was necessarily delayed by personal or family considerations. Extended eligibility must be justified in an email to nhfp at stsci.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of the application deadline.

We anticipate offering up to 24 NHFP Fellowships this year. The Fellowships are tenable at a U.S. host institution of the fellow's choice, subject to a maximum of two new fellows per host
institution per year, and no more than five fellows at any single host institution, except for short periods of overlap. The Announcement of Opportunity, which includes detailed program policies and application
instructions, is available at the website: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__nhfp.stsci.edu&d=DwIF-g&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=hjwEO_XYlnwAQWUGeaCrW47w4mK-Al28-BKyRvaivBs&m=yeloR1zdixSM02PqYOdirmICY5CJL4xrjec85_esKKA&s=xhMKpz3qgIrLbvr1Vr9OSXDTGUMFe8ATg-cwYQnQyzc&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__nhfp.stsci.edu_&d=DwMFAw&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=45ucIEKyq0pHGO-wQTsdbRghpM6p6HwwJJKBjgpK5ZU&m=9kmXs3FsmbKYueyQp0F9zPPPQjHJBgUHocZMQnF34ns&s=hqkk6-sTefznn37AO6h3MVI0J1qGzuAHyIVY3YDVHkw&e=>.

Description:
The Department of Physics at New York University (NYU), jointly with the Center for Computational Astrophysics (CCA) of the Simons Foundation’s Flatiron Institute, invites applications for a joint position<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__as.nyu.edu_physics_information_jobs.html&d=DwMFAw&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=45ucIEKyq0pHGO-wQTsdbRghpM6p6HwwJJKBjgpK5ZU&m=9kmXs3FsmbKYueyQp0F9zPPPQjHJBgUHocZMQnF34ns&s=ckl43Qe3145hgf9QGfVbJ3TUv9iYwhMAbM5cHhq9Vr8&e=>. We seek candidates working on fundamental questions at the intersection of particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology using computational methods and/or modern data science approaches. The Center for Computational Astrophysics' mission is to create new computational frameworks that allow scientists to analyze big astronomical datasets and to understand complex, multi-scale physics in astrophysical systems ranging in scales from planets to cosmology. The successful candidate will join the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics in the NYU Physics Department. The CCPP is a group of faculty, students and research scientists working on fundamental questions at the intersection of particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology.

The position is a 50-50 joint appointment between NYU and CCA, with the appointee spending half of her or his effort in each place. At NYU the opening is at the tenure track Assistant Professor level and, at CCA, it is at the Associate Research Scientist level. The position is based at the Simons Foundation and NYU offices in New York City. It is expected that, subject to satisfactory progress in research, the Associate Research Scientist Appointment at CCA will continue for the duration of the NYU untenured faculty appointment (approximately and/or up to six years). The holder of this joint appointment will be considered for promotion to a full time NYU tenured professorship according to NYU's standard policies and procedures.

A Ph.D. in physics or a closely related field is required. The responsibilities for this joint position include but are not limited to: establishing a leading research program with a significant computational component; teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels at NYU; contributing to the scientific activities at the Flatiron Institute by assisting with the organization of CCA-related conferences, workshops group seminars and summer programs, and to supervising research conducted by Flatiron Research Fellows and summer interns.

Review of applications will begin on or about November 15, 2019.
