2021 PI Selection Round opens

The 2021 selection round for LSST:UK Affiliate PIs and Junior Associates opened at 16.00 on Wednesday, October 14th and will close at 16.00 on Monday, November 9th.

Further information about the call process (including links to application forms) is available online at https://lsst-uk.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HOME/pages/1617330181/2021+LSST+Affiliate+PI+Junior+Associate+Selection+Round

Please note that this process is unaffected by the change in the mechanism by which international partners gain data rights; the new model, based on in-kind contributions, will take effect from summer 2021, but we will provide an annual update of our AP and JA lists to the LSST Corporation in January, as per previous years.

The round is open both to new applicants and those applying to renew their data rights. Current data rights holders whose terms are ending will be contacted as a courtesy, but it is the responsibility of existing data right holders to check whether they need to apply to renew their data rights. The current list of data rights holders can be found at https://lsst-uk.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HOME/pages/1503100953/2020H2+Affiliate+PI+and+Junior+Associate+List
