Seeking Nominations for the Users’ Committee for Gemini

Gemini is seeking self-nominations from astronomers from Argentina, Brazil, and Canada to serve on its Users' Committee. The Committee reports to the Observatory Director, and provides feedback on all areas of operations which affect users, based on their own user experience and input collected by them from their communities of Gemini users. Members generally serve a 3-year term, and attend an annual committee meeting with travel paid by the observatory. The meeting usually rotates between La Serena and Hilo, although the last two meetings have been held remotely owing to the pandemic. This year it will be held in conjunction with the 2022 Gemini Science Meeting in Seoul, Korea. Please see the Terms of Reference of the committee for additional details. Self-nominations should include a CV, a short statement of relevant experience, and description of Gemini-related interests. Materials should be emailed to Joanna Thomas-Osip by 30 April 2022 for full consideration.
