Reminder – RCUK Policy Internships for STFC-funded PhD Students

August 17, 2015, from Dave Godfrey


(Formerly known as POST Fellowships)

STFC participates in the Research Councils Policy Internships scheme, a
programme in which STFC-funded PhD students are given the opportunity to
spend three months working in Parliament. Opportunities are available
with the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) or the
Government Office for Science (GO Science).

Applications for the 2016 scheme are now open.

The scheme presents a unique opportunity for PhD students to gain an
insight into the political process. Fellows learn how policy is
developed, interact with policy makers and develop the skills needed to
communicate effectively with non-academic audiences.

• POST is an independent office of the Houses of Parliament whose role
is to provide clear, expert, impartial advice on science to MPs and
Peers. Its goal is to keep them up to date on current scientific issues
and allow them to make informed decisions. Fellows either work on a
‘POST Note’ or research project, or provide specialist advice to a
Parliamentary Select Committee or the House of Commons Library.

• GO Science looks to ensure that government policies and decisions are
informed by the best scientific evidence and strategic long-term
thinking. Placements are likely to involve undertaking research,
drafting briefing notes and background papers, and organising workshops
and meetings. They will offer opportunities to work with a number of
different teams and across a wide range of science and technology policy
topics in GO Science.

The successful applicant will receive funding for their secondment
period and will receive a three-month extension to their STFC PhD
status. Fellows will receive a stipend equivalent to that of a
London-based PhD student for three months. Fellows based at non-London
institutions will receive an additional sum to cover the costs of
relocating to London for three months.

For further information and how to apply, please visit the Research
Councils Policy Internships webpage.

Applications for the 2016 Internships close at 4pm on Friday 28 August
2015. For applications to a placement in POST, interviews will be held
during the week beginning 12 October in Parliament.

STEREO Operations Resume Post Solar Conjunction

July 29, 2015, from David Williams (UKSP DC)


The two NASA STEREO spacecraft have, over the last few months, been in
superior conjunction ─ a time during which they were completely out of
Earth-contact due to their being behind the Sun ─ from which they are
now emerging.



Launched in 2006, the STEREO mission comprises two near-identical
space-based observatories in heliocentric orbits ─ one leading
(STEREO-A) and the other lagging (STEREO-B) the Earth ─ with the aim of
providing the first ever stereoscopic measurements to study the Sun and
the nature of its coronal mass ejections (CMEs). After some 8 years of
highly successful and scientifically productive operation, both
spacecraft passed behind the Sun from the vantage point of Earth.



On approach to superior conjunction, it was, however, found that the
operational temperature of the STEREO high-gain antenna (HGA) on each
spacecraft was increasing markedly, due to their near-Sun pointing. To
mitigate the potentially damaging temperature increase, strategies were
devised for continued operation ─ either side of superior conjunction ─
based on the use of the HGA first and second side-lobes, rather than the
main beam. Off-pointing the HGA away from the Sun has enabled the
continued downlink of an, albeit reduced, data stream either side of the
inevitable, but relatively brief, complete loss of downlink associated
with superior conjunction.



On July 11, the first images in over three months were received from
STEREO-A, the spacecraft having emerged from superior conjunction. The
spacecraft, and all of its instruments, have been deemed fully
operational. It should be noted that, unfortunately, STEREO-B
encountered a severe problem prior to entering superior conjunction ─
associated with a planned reset performed as a test of solar conjunction
operations ─ resulting in a complete loss of contact. NASA will shortly
be resuming efforts to re-establish contact with STEREO-B, and there is
continued hope that the spacecraft will be recovered. However, with or
without STEREO-B, we still have a heliophysics observatory that rated
extremely highly in the recent NASA Senior Review.



All of the imaging instruments on STEREO incorporate UK camera systems
(RAL-e2v) and the STEREO/Heliospheric Imager (HI) instruments are led
from the UK. The STEREO/HI instruments are not only the principal tools
used for imaging CMEs, and other solar wind transients, in the
heliosphere, but are also regularly used for the study of comets,
stellar variability, dust and other phenomena. We look forward to the
continuation of this highly productive mission and, as always, are very
happy to discuss the exploitation of HI and other STEREO data with
potential users.

conjunction, please see:

UK Solar Missions Forum 2016 – date for your diary

July 31, 2015, from Louise Harra


The next UK solar missions forum will be on the 7th January 2016 at the
RAS.

The agenda is yet to be decided, and to some extent will depend on what
input the community may be to provide to STFC. We will keep in contact
with Chris Arridge about this. But we will be discussing current and
future plans for facilities which will include space and ground-based
instruments and also computing needs. We will work with Philippa
Browning, Alan Hood, Jackie Davies and Dave Williams to ensure we cover
all bases.

The website that summarises information, about UK mission involvement
and related meetings, is on:

http://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/~lkh/UKsolarmissions/

Please let me know if there are any omissions/updates.

Early career stage solar physicists are warmly welcome – these
instruments are developed over long time periods and we need your input!

NASA Headquarters Heliophysics Visiting Scientist

August 6, 2015, from Jeffrey Newmark


NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) seeks one or more experienced
scientists to fill visiting scientist positions within the Heliophysics
Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC. These are typically
two-year positions, with possible extensions, filled by scientists who
take leave from their home institution.
NASA’s Heliophysics Division implements flight missions and sponsors
scientific research, both with the aim to understand, individually and
as a system, the Sun, heliosphere, and space environments of the Earth
and other planets, including space weather. Visiting scientists should
have a broad understanding of the system science nature of Heliophysics,
as well as one or more of the sub-disciplines. At this time there is
particular interest in expertise related to the heliosphere,
magnetosphere, and/or ionosphere/thermosphere/mesosphere, especially
coupling between the Sun-Earth-heliosphere as they form an
interconnected system.

Visiting scientists participate in the management of the Heliophysics
grants (ROSES) programs, the planning, development, and management of
NASA missions, and long-range strategic planning. They serve as
Discipline Scientists to develop research solicitations, conduct
scientific peer reviews, and develop budgets and program plans for the
recommendation of highly rated proposals. Visiting scientists serve as
Program Scientists for NASA space missions, interacting with the science
working groups and ensuring success of the missions. They play a
leadership role in long-range strategic plans to define the future NASA
heliophysics program. Visiting scientists are expected to demonstrate a
high degree of initiative in the execution of the overall SMD science
mission.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent in heliophysics or related
discipline, plus relevant experience in instrumental, observational, or
theoretical research. They should be familiar with NASA grants programs,
and be able to communicate effectively with the scientific community,
