I hope you all had a great weekend! I would like to schedule a time for the winter quarter undergrad meeting. Please fill out the doodle poll so we can pick a time that works for most.
http://doodle.com/94bugf32sxyfzdzrThe doodle poll will close next Monday morning and I'll announce the meeting time in my next weekly email.
Also, I'm going to be out of the office the rest of this week so be sure to check in with Dr. Chris Laws if you have questions. You can find him in his office, B349 or send him an email at laws@astro.washington.edu.
Spring and Summer Classes: Both spring and summer quarter class schedules are now on the web! Be sure to check the schedules to plan your classes. Don't forget to run a degree audit (DARS) found on your MyUW to make sure you are registering for the correct classes needed to graduate.
Women in Science and Engineering Conference: Learn about career opportunities in the sciences, work on some professional development skills and network at the WiSE conference happening Saturday, Feb. 26. The conference is 8:30am-5pm and the registration is only $15 for students. You can find more details here: http:www.engr.washington.edu/wise/conference
Undergraduate Opportunities in Australia: Applications for the Jun-Sep 2011 AAO Student Fellowships are now open.
http://www.aao.gov.au/AAO/students/aaosf.html
Opportunities exist for undergraduate students who have completed not less than 2 years of full time course work in Astronomy, Astrophysics, Applied Physics, Engineering, Mathematics or related subjects to work at the Australian Astronomical Observatory on research projects under the individual supervision of AAO staff astronomers. In addition to astronomical research, a major part of the Observatory's core business is astronomical instrumentation for optical/infrared telescopes, and studentships are available in this area as well.
Student Fellowships are available for 10 to 12 weeks in the period mid-June to mid-September. The stipend for 2011 is A$622 per week.
The AAO headquarters is located in Epping, a suburb approximately 25 km from the centre of Sydney. In one or two cases, scholars may be based at the telescope site (Siding Spring) near Coonabarabran in central western New South Wales. For students based in Sydney, a field trip is arranged to visit the telescopes at Siding Spring Observatory.
Applications should be directed to A.Prof. Andrew Hopkins, Head of AAT Science. The deadline is 15 Feb 2011. For further details, including how to apply, see: http://www.aao.gov.au/AAO/students/aaosf.html
Colloquium: This Thursday at 4pm in Phys/Astr A102, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz (Univ. of California, Santa Cruz) will give a talk on "Tidal Disruption of Stars by Massive Black Holes". Join us for coffee, tea, cookies and conversation at 3:45pm in the foyer.
