1. GEM Mini-workshop Session on "Magnetic Mapping"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Elizabeth MacDonald <macdonald at lanl.gov>,
      Robyn Millan <Robyn.Millan at Dartmouth.EDU>, and 
      Eric Donovan <edonovan at ucalgary.ca>

The Scientific Magnetic Mapping and Techniques focus group will hold a 
mini GEM workshop session at the Westin San Francisco Market Street 
hotel (50 Third St.) on Sunday Dec. 4, 2011 from 2:30 to 4:30 PM, in 
the Franciscan I room. For a full schedule please see the wikisite 
here (http://bit.ly/uspiyE).

We would like to invite the community to participate in our session, 
by simply adding input to our survey forms on Mapping Science 
questions (http://bit.ly/vYuGc5) and Mapping Techniques 
(http://bit.ly/ucmMLQ). The survey results will be discussed at the 
mini-GEM and form the basis for planning of activities for the 2012 
summer GEM Workshop. They will also be posted online 
(http://bit.ly/vPLlv9, http://bit.ly/uFw8Uz). We also welcome 1 slide 
presentations on specific questions or techniques if you wish. We look 
forward to a productive discussion and thank you for your input in 
advance.

2. HAO/ASP Postdoctoral Fellowship
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: R. Casini, HAO

The High Altitude Observatory (HAO) of the National Center for 
Atmospheric Research (NCAR) announces the 2012 competition for the 
ASP/HAO Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. 

HAO conducts research in the areas of solar physics (solar MHD, dynamo 
theory, magnetic flux emergence, spectro-polarimetry, radiative 
transfer, energy transport in the solar atmosphere, solar eruptions), 
and in terrestrial physics (energetic, dynamics and chemistry of the 
Earth's middle and upper atmosphere, ionosphere electrodynamics, 
magnetospheric physics, space weather). HAO pursues its research goals 
through broad programs in theory, modeling, observations, and 
instrumentation.

Postdoc appointments are for one year, renewable for a second year 
depending on performance.

The interested candidate must apply through the Post-Doctoral 
Fellowship Program of the NCAR Advanced Study Program (ASP). See 
http://www.asp.ucar.edu/pdfp/pd_announcement.php for instructions and 
a list of the application material. The deadline is January 5th, 2012.

3. HAO/Newkirk Graduate Research Fellowship
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From: R. Casini, HAO

The High Altitude Observatory (HAO) of the National Center for 
Atmospheric Research (NCAR) announces the 2012 competition for one 
graduate research position under the Newkirk Fellowship Program. The 
Newkirk Fellowship is named in honor of former HAO director Gordon A. 
Newkirk Jr.

HAO conducts research in the areas of solar physics (solar MHD, dynamo 
theory, magnetic flux emergence, spectro-polarimetry, radiative 
transfer, energy transport in the solar atmosphere, solar eruptions), 
and in terrestrial physics (energetic, dynamics and chemistry of the 
Earth's middle and upper atmosphere, ionosphere electrodynamics, 
magnetospheric physics, space weather). HAO pursues its research goals 
through broad programs in theory, modeling, observations, and 
instrumentation.

Eligibility requirements and instructions on how to apply can be found 
at http://www.hao.ucar.edu/people/visitors/newkirk.php. The deadline 
for the submission of the application material is January 6th, 2012.
