Call for Nominations to the PhysPAG Executive Committee
30 September 2025
The Astrophysics Division of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate is pleased to issue an open call for nominations, including self-nominations, to serve on the Executive Committee (EC) of NASA’s Physics of the Cosmos Program Analysis Group, or PhysPAG. In the coming months, NASA anticipates making multiple new appointments to the PhysPAG EC in order to replace several current members who will be rotating off the committee. NASA is also interested in adding expertise to the EC in areas that cut across different fields in physics and astrophysics, including theoretical and computational physics/astrophysics, artificial intelligence, and astrophysics from the Moon. Appointments will be for a nominal period of three calendar years for each selected candidate.
Key skills include good communication, a desire and ability to facilitate community organization and collaboration, and a broad perspective across the PhysCOS disciplines. Knowledge of technology additionally helps support PhysCOS technology objectives, including clarifying technology gaps. Selection will consider a balance of members with expertise in technology and in other areas. With the implementations by NASA of the Astro2020 Decadal Survey and its strong recommendations in PhysCOS science well underway, it is more important than ever to maintain a strong connection between NASA and the astrophysics community to ensure ongoing meaningful and strong community inputs.
Please see the Dear Colleague Letter [PDF] for a detailed description of this opportunity, including the deadline and how to apply for membership on the EC.
