Physics Department Student Workers for 2014/15
Are you interested in working in the Physics and Astronomy Department next academic year? We have many positions available including Lab Assistant, Tutor, Grader, Shop Assistant, Lab Set-up, Computer/Technical assistant, and Electronics Lab assistant. Assignments are set up by term, for either 5 or 10 hours/week. Follow the link below to fill out an interest form. We assign jobs based upon Physics experience first, and preference second, giving first priority to those who submit the form earliest. Though we can generally give you as many hours as you ask for, at times we have more work students than hours and can not guarantee you’ll get all the hours you’d like.

Please submit the form by the end of April; I’ll then send out a tentative work schedule around mid-May.

Light Pollution Presentation *and* Open House
Carleton College Light Pollution Presentations and Observatory Open House Friday, May 2
Carleton College’s Department of Physics and Astronomy welcomes the public to two events this Friday. Presentations will begin at 8 pm in Olin 141 on the environmental impacts and health consequences of artificial light at night, as well as actions that can be taken to protect our dwindling natural resource of darkness at night. The research leading up to the presentations was done in a class led by astronomy professor Cindy Blaha.
If it is clear, the presentations will be followed by a Goodsell Observatory Open House from 9-11 pm for personal sampling of dark sky views, nebulas, and planets; as well as urban sky glow. Dress warmly! The open house (but not the presentations) will be cancelled if it is cloudy.
Light Pollution Presentations: 8-9 PM, Olin 141
Goodsell Observatory Open House 9-11 PM only if clear
