[Nsa] Call for NSF NCAR to participate in Guest Lectureship at the University of Arizona

[Lorena Medina Luna]

Dear NSF NCAR Scientists,

We are working to find a guest lecturer who can support professor Dr.
Sylvia Sullivan at the University of Arizona with three lectures for her
course on Aerosol Physics for Spring 2025. Sylvia is working on a CORE
Award project
<https://ncar.ucar.edu/who-we-are/diversity-inclusion/core-awards/interactive-graphics-and-vr>
called “Interactive Graphics and Virtual Reality to Communicate Research on
Clouds and Precipitation” with NSF NCAR Computation and Information Systems
Laboratory’s (CISL) Visualization Services and Research Group.

Guest Lecture Opportunity:

For this opportunity, we are seeking a scientist who could teach three
lectures in-person of the Aerosol Physics class, specifically on “Aerosol
impacts on climate and/or health”. The lectures take place on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 8:00 -9:15 am Arizona Time (Please note that the time zone
switches from MT to PT when Daylight savings time starts in March). This
course will take place in-person, but depending on which days the lectures
fall on, it may be possible for one lecture to be held virtually. Funding
is available for this opportunity.

Deadline for Commitment:

If you are interested in this opportunity or have additional questions,
please let Lorena (lluna at ucar.edu) know by Tuesday, August 27th to set up a
time to meet and discuss more and have ample time to connect you with
Sylvia. Our NCAR DEI team will support you in preparation for guest
lectures through meetings and conversations to ensure you feel comfortable
and ready to step into this role, and this would be in addition to the
meetings that you have with Sylvia. Funding is available for this
opportunity and includes time for meetings, preparation, travel/lodging,
lectures, and as determined in conversation.

Collaboration:

NSF NCAR scientists will work in collaboration to:

   -

   Establish norms and expectations as co-facilitators of the course
   -

   Determine whether in-person or virtual options work best for this
   opportunity
   -

   Share lectures as agreed upon, ahead of the lecture dates
   -

   Connect and have open communication


Guest Lectureship:

An in-person guest lectureship could enable opportunities for NSF NCAR
scientists to engage with students during office hours, to engage with
faculty within the department and neighboring departments, build
relationships with the university community, and build a network for
possible research collaborations. NSF NCAR personnel will be expected to
follow the code of conduct from each institution.

Travel opportunity:

Due to the nature of this type of session being in-person, we would like
the scientist to have the opportunity to travel to the University of
Arizona to teach these lectures in-person. This could vary, of course,
depending on the dates the lecture lands on - for example, Tue, Thurs,
Tues, or Thurs, Tues, Thurs. In either case, we can work with the scientist
to determine which lectures would be in-person, and which one would be
virtual if needed.

Sincerely,

Lorena
