Staff Movements

The Grounds and Meteorological Officer, Mr John McGinn, left the Observatory at the end of 1998 June for a new position in the south of England prior to seeking work abroad. Pending an external review of the grading of the position, completed towards the end of 1998, the post was left vacant with essential grounds maintenance work being carried out by contractors. During this time, meteorological readings were taken primarily by the Librarian with assistance from other staff.

Two new PPARC PDRA grants came into effect during the year, namely those relating to David J. Asher and Darko Jevremovic. These in effect replaced two other postdoctoral grants (relating to Victor Clube's Leverhulme Fellowship and Alex J. Löbel's PPARC PDRA position), which finished during the same period.

Dr Michael D. Smith joined the Observatory as Research Astronomer on 1998 October 1. Dr Smith has research interests in star formation, stellar and galactic jets and magnetohydrodynamics.

Five new postgraduate students were welcomed to the Observatory: Ms Sandra Jeffers (studying for an M.Phil.), Mr Ferhat Ozeren (visiting from Ankara, Turkey), Ms Pilar Montañés Rodríquez, Mr Enric Pallé Bagó, and Mr Ilía Roussev (all studying for a Ph.D.). Mark Bailey and John Chambers began co-supervision of another Ph.D. student, namely Mr Nick Sleep, who is a part-time student working primarily with Dr Barrie W. Jones of the Open University.

Four students were awarded the degree of Ph.D. in 1998, namely Mr Duncan C. Foster, Ms María Teresa Eibe, Mr Pedro J. Amado and Mr Luis Sarro. A fifth student, namely Mr Alan D.S. Coughlin, gained an M.Phil.
