8 August 2025

Deadline: August 29th, 2025

We would like to announce an open call for new membership to the Leadership Council of the NASA AGN Science Interest Group (SIG). We invite members of the AGN community to apply for this opportunity.

The AGN SIG Leadership Council is responsible for planning and facilitating activities that engage our community and advance collective efforts toward NASA’s scientific goals. While prior leadership experience is not required, ideal candidates will bring ideas, initiative, and enthusiasm to help shape and execute the group’s direction. We are looking for 3-4 new members available for a 2-year commitment.

As part of the Leadership Council, your responsibilities may include:

  • Organizing and leading community meetings or webinars
  • Proposing and coordinating collaborative projects
  • Representing the interests of the AGN community to NASA
  • Facilitating communication and knowledge sharing among AGN researchers

We recognize that these are tumultuous times, with ongoing uncertainties around NASA budgets and other institutional challenges. Now more than ever, engaged leadership is essential for maintaining a vibrant, connected, and forward-looking astronomy community.

Whether you are early in your career or more established, your vision for advancing AGN science and strengthening our community is what matters most. If you are interested in this Leadership Council position, please complete the application form at the link below by August 29. We anticipate selecting happening in September.

An illustration of Sun-like star HD 181327 and its surrounding debris disk. The star is at top right. It is surrounded by a far larger debris disk that forms an incomplete ellpitical path and is cut off at right. There’s a huge cavity between the star and the disk. The debris disk is shown in shades of light gray. Toward the top and left, there are finer, more discrete points in a range of sizes. The disk appears hazier and smokier at the bottom. The star is bright white at center, with a hazy blue region around it. The background of space is black. The label Artist's Concept appears at lower left.
