The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) will host approximately 25 participants for a 4.5-day, in-depth Master Class workshop in Baltimore, Maryland, on November 18-22, 2019.  The Master Class will include topics related to James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) proposal planning, including user tools, instrument modes, example science cases, documentation, and help resources, as well as guidance with teaching these topics to others.

Graduates of the Master Class are expected to give back to the JWST user community in two ways: by hosting proposal-preparation training activities at their home institution(s) and by serving as a local expert for colleagues in the months before the JWST Cycle 1 General Observer (GO1) proposal deadline in Spring 2020.

This call is open to all potential JWST observers, regardless of career stage or research interests. Advanced graduate students/postdocs and those from geographically-remote areas are especially encouraged to apply. Although not required, we encourage partnered or team applications from geographically-concentrated institutions.

To apply, complete an online application and return it by 5 p.m. (ET) on June 3, 2019.
