Three positions are open for the Steering Committee of the Small Bodies Assessment Group (SBAG), with three-year terms starting in August 2022.
The Committee organizes SBAG meetings, writes the official SBAG findings, and takes a leadership role in other activities where community input on topics of interest is needed.
In addition to a member in Planetary Defense who works to understand the population of small bodies that may impact our planet, we seek two at-large members in any area of small body research at any career stage.
The application requires: 1) a two-page CV, including a description of participation in SBAG or other small bodies organizations, and 2) a short (300 words maximum) statement of interest. Criteria for selection are: participation in small bodies community organizations, leadership experience, and relevant research or mission experience.
In support of diversity, applicants may specify gender, whether they belong to an underrepresented group in STEM, or other additional relevant information.
