N.B. this selection round is unaffected by the changes to the LSST operations funding model. The UK Memorandum of Agreement with the LSST Corporation will remain in effect until at least June 2021. So, so, for example, Affiliate PI or Junior Associate status will continue to be required for membership of a Science Collaboration until that time (or until the MoA is superseded by a new agreement). So, LSST:UK will continue to run regular selection rounds to keep our AP and JA lists updated until a new arrangement takes effect.
