GOODS Project Status and Updates

1 September 2006: Postdoc opportunities at NOAO
Two or more postdoc positions for (1) new post-GOODS far-infrared (MIPS) Spitzer Legacy survey of the ECDFS and EGS; (2) "inter-survey" research combining data from GOODS, the new MIPS Legacy survey, NDWFS/Bootes, etc. Application deadline: 31 Oct 2006; however, early applications will be considered immeditely for the Spitzer Legacy positions.

6 December 2001: GOODS HST Treasury Program approved.

In HST Cycle 11, the GOODS team will carry out a large observing program of deep, multicolor, optical imaging of the GOODS fields using the Advanced Camera for Surveys. The program will image the GOODS fields in four filters to "near-HDF" depths, repeating the observations in several epochs in order to search for very distant supernovae.
