Aki Roberge and Jane Rigby, both research astrophysicists at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, will host a workshop* titled "Applying and Interviewing for Permanent Academic Positions" at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, September 28, 2016 in the Abelson Collaboration Center as part of DTM's Postdoctoral Development Workshop Series.
Roberge received her Ph.D. in astrophysics from Johns Hopkins University in 2002. She's interested in the study of planet formation through multi-band observations of young circumstellar disks, as well as planning and development for future exoplanet observations. Roberge was also a postdoctoral fellow at DTM from 2002-2005.
Rigby received her Ph.D. in astronomy from The University of Arizona in 2006. She also serves as the deputy project scientist for operations for the James Webb Space Telescope. Her research interests include galaxy evolution, star–forming galaxies, and active galactic nuclei; the star–formation, metal–enrichment, and black hole growth histories of the universe; gravitational lenses as natural telescopes; diagnostic astrophysical spectroscopy; and science systems engineering for upcoming space telescopes.
Coffee, tea, and a light breakfast will be served before the workshop at 10:30 a.m.
*This workshop is open to Carnegie personnel only.
