Apply to the COPAG Executive Committee

Applications are now being accepted for positions on the Cosmic Origins Program Analysis Group (COPAG) Executive Committee. Apply here.

The COPAG is an essential piece of the NASA Astrophysics ecosystem and will be particularly important in the next few years as the Decadal Survey makes its recommendations to NASA.

As a COPAG EC member, you will be helping NASA connect to the astrophysics community and analyze how NASA can achieve the recommendations of the Decadal Survey.

Nominations, including self-nominations, for the COPAG EC should be submitted via the application form here or via email to Eric V. Tollestrup. Nominations for EC positions can only be accepted for scientists who reside at a U.S. institution for the period of the service. There is no restriction on citizenship.

In alignment with NASA’s core value of Inclusion, the Cosmic Origins Program seeks to have a membership in its committees and analysis groups that is inclusive and diverse, and seeks to have a program that has transparent and open communications and processes that ensure that all voices are heard.

For more information, see the Cosmic Origins website.

Technologists are encouraged to apply.

Act now! There is rolling admission, and the deadline for the next round of selections is October 7.
