  "account": "NASA's Astrophysics Division is seeking nominations for the Executive Committee of the Physics of the Cosmos Program Analysis Group (PhysPAG). The call for nominations, open to self-nominations, is part of NASA's ongoing efforts to replace current EC members who will be rotating off the committee. The three-year appointments are for a nominal period. Ideal candidates possess excellent communication skills, a desire to foster collaboration, and a broad understanding of the PhysCOS disciplines. Familiarity with technology is also advantageous for supporting PhysCOS technology objectives, including identifying gaps. This year, NASA is particularly interested in appointing individuals with expertise in high energy astrophysics, gravitational waves, artificial intelligence, and general astrophysics related to the Habitable World Observatory mission. In the future, the EC may play a role in overseeing community involvement in the Astrophysics Strategic Technology & Research Accelerator (ASTRA) mission concept studies. For more information and to apply, refer to the Dear Colleague Letter [PDF]. The deadline for submission is 20 November 2026.",
