Given the current uncertainty, it has been decided that the 2022 2022H2 selection round shall only award data rights for a one-year period, up to 3130/12JUN/2223, rather than for the three-year terms that has been typical in previous rounds. This will allow UK researchers to continue to engage with LSST Science Collaborations, etc, until we know how we will manage UK data rights in the longer run.
The selection round will operate as follows:
Those who currently hold Affiliate PI or Junior Associate status and whose term ends on 3130/12JUN/21 22 will automatically receive a one-year extension upon indicating on the application form linked below that they wish their status to continue to 3130/12JUN/2223.
Those who do not currently hold Affiliate PI or Junior Associate status can use the form to apply for a one-year term: candidate Junior Associates may self-nominate or be nominated (using the same form).
Those whose current term extends beyond 3130/12JUN/22 23 should not apply in this round.
As part of the application process, you will be required to sign the LSST:UK Code of Conduct, so you should read that before applying, as well as ensuring that you satisfy the eligibility criteria for Affiliate PI or Junior Associate status, as described in the LSST:UK Policy for Selection of Affiliate PIs and Junior Associates.
