ExoExplorer 申请征集

Call for ExoExplorer Applications

ExoExplorers 项目由美国国家航天局（NASA）系外行星探索项目办公室和 ExoPAG 执行委员会共同赞助，将专注于 10 名“ExoExplorers”（处于职业生涯早期，即博士候选人或获得博士学位 2 年内的博士后研究人员）的专业发展，这些人员来自美国及国际机构。该团队的每位成员都将参加一场网络研讨会，研讨会将向系外行星（exoplanet）社区进行直播，并发布在 ExoExplorer 的演示存档中，以帮助提高他们在该领域内的知名度。该团队还将通过量身定制的演讲和小组讨论，向该领域资深的系外行星研究人员和工程师（“ExoGuides”）学习经验。

The ExoExplorers program, sponsored by NASA’s Exoplanet Exploration Program Office and the ExoPAG Executive Committee, will focus on the professional development of 10 “ExoExplorers” (early career researchers who are either PhD candidates or postdoc researchers within 2 years of completing their PhD) at US and international1 institutions. Each member of the cohort will be featured in a webinar that will be live-streamed to the exoplanet community and posted to the ExoExplorer’s presentation archive, helping to increase their visibility within the field. The cohort will also learn from the experiences of established exoplanet researchers and engineers in the field (“ExoGuides”) via a combination of tailored presentations and small group discussions.

该团队的活动时间为 2027 年 1 月至 6 月，每位成员都将向更广泛的系外行星社区进行一场 30 分钟的研究演讲。每位 ExoExplorers 将获得 1,200 美元，用于购买其作为科学系列一部分所展示的研究成果演示。

Members of this cohort, which will run from January to June 2027, will each give one 30-minute presentation on their research to the broader exoplanet community. Each of the ExoExplorers will receive $1,200 for the purchase of one presentation of their research results, presented as a part of the Science Series.

此外，ExoExplorers 还将被邀请参加：

In addition, the ExoExplorers will be invited to participate in:

- 团队成员之间的双周互动

- Bi-weekly interactions between members of the cohort

- 与系外行星科学和工程领域杰出科学家（“ExoGuides”）的每月非正式小组讨论

- Monthly informal group discussions with prominent scientists (“ExoGuides”) in the fields of exoplanet science and engineering

- 由组委会协助，与 ExoExplorer 所要求的两到五名研究人员进行一对一会面

- One-on-one meetings with two to five researchers requested by the ExoExplorer, facilitated by the Organizing Committee

- 两到四场由团队决定主题的专业发展活动，例如提案撰写、建立合作、职业规划和公开演讲

- Two to four professional development events on topics to be decided by the cohort, such as proposal writing, establishing collaborations, career building, and public speaking

- 开发和/或执行与系外行星科学和工程相关的团队驱动活动

- The development and/or execution of cohort-driven activities pertaining to exoplanet science and engineering

- 与 ExoExplorers 项目组织者进行指导交流的机会。

- Mentorship opportunities with the organizers of the ExoExplorers program.

上述活动将在很大程度上由团队独特的兴趣和需求来决定。因此，我们寻找那些积极寻求通过与彼此、ExoGuides 以及 ExoExplorer 项目组织者互动，来丰富和加强其在更广泛的系外行星社区中科学研究的申请者。

The activities described above will largely be shaped by the unique interests and needs of the cohort. Therefore, we seek applicants who are actively seeking to enrich and enhance their exoplanet science in the broader exoplanet community via engaging with each other, as well as with the ExoGuides and the ExoExplorer program organizers.
