Edward N Taylor B.A. /B.Sc. (Hons.), the University of Melbourne http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~ent 4/303 Smith Street Fitzroy, Victoria, 3065 AUSTRALIA [email protected]

P E R S O NA L P R O F I L E I was born in the United States to Australian parents; I moved with my family (back) to Melbourne at age 10. As an undergraduate at the University of Melbourne, I spent two years studying (among other things) modern history, metaphysics and epistemology before beginning a science degree in 2000 with the intention of becoming an astronomer. Two years later, I undertook my first vacation studentship with Erwin de Blok and Bärbel Koribalski at the Australia Telescope National Facility investigating the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation using an early version of the HIPASS catalogue. The following year, I went to the Space Telescope Science Institute to work with Harry Ferguson and Mark Dickinson on the sizes of galaxies from GOODS. I graduated with a B.A./B.Sc. (Hons.) in 2003, having completed my Honours research project under the supervision of Rachel Webster, investigating the idea of ‘dark galaxies’: galaxies in which star formation is completely prevented. I began my doctoral research in 2004 at Leiden University under the supervision of Marijn Franx, focussing on the evolving properties of the massive galaxy population from high redshift to the present day. In the course of this research I have also worked closely with Pieter van Dokkum (Yale University), Eric Bell (Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie), and Karl Glazebrook (Swinburne University). For the second half of 2008, I have been appointed a visitor to the School of Physics at the University of Melbourne, where I tutored the undergraduate course ‘Introduction to Climate Change’, and as a residential tutor at Medley Hall, a small residential college attached to the University. I am capable and comfortable working independently; both of my formal supervisors have been quite ‘hands off’. At the same time, I recognise the critical importance of the transfer of experience and expertise within both broad collaborations and local research groups. Outside of academia, I have a diverse experience base: even while training to become an astronomer, I have been a photographer, a political advocate, a climbing instructor, an actor and director, and a radio comic. I am energetic, articulate, affable, urbane, smart. I am 28 years old.

EMPLOYMENT HISTORY Residential Tutor, Medley Hall, the University of Melbourne — Jul ’08-present Being a relatively small College, Medley Hall does not actually offer tutorials. As a tutor, therefore, my responsibilities are better understood as being a ‘responsible adult’; my role is as a mentor and steward.

Undergraduate Tutor (Introduction to Climate Change), the University of Melbourne — Jul ’08-Nov ‘08 I was a tutor for the new interdisciplinary undergraduate course ‘Introduction to Climate Change’ (Semester 2, 2008), coordinated by Rachel Webster. Promovendus (PhD Student), Sterrewacht Leiden; the Netherlands — Aug ’04-present My PhD research, conducted under the supervision of Prof. Marijn Franx, and focussed on observations of massive galaxies at intermediate to high redshifts, is described briefly under Research Experience. Additional duties at the Observatory included the compilation of the 2005 Annual Report, and some teaching responsibilities (advisor for Bachelor Research Project and teaching assistant for Introduction to Modern Research). Lab Demonstrator and Research Scientist, University of Melbourne; Parkville — Feb ’03-Jul ’04 As a lab demonstrator, I took first and second year physics and astronomy labs. I also reviewed, revised, and rewrote several first year astronomy labs, as well as developing an original exercise. My research extended on my B.Sc. (Hons.) research: a theoretical study of the viability or plausibility of ‘dark galaxies’.

Physics Tutor, Janet Clarke Hall; Melbourne — Feb ’03-Jul ’04 I was a non-resident physics tutor for first, second, and third year physics subjects. (I was myself in third year when I began at Janet Clarke Hall.) All of my students passed; roughly half with first class honours. Vacation Student, Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI); Baltimore, USA — Nov ’02-Feb ’03 My work at STScI, conducted under the supervision of Drs. Mark Dickinson and Harry Ferguson, focussed on the development of a novel and robust algorithm for measuring the sizes of galaxies, tailored specifically for galaxies with Hubble Space Telescope imaging from the GOODS project. Vacation Student, Australia Telescope National Facility(ATNF); Sydney — Dec ’01-Feb ’02 Under the supervision of Drs. Bärbel Koribalski and Erwin de Blok, my work at ATNF involved source detection and extraction from HIPASS data cubes, and a pilot study into the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation based on the HIPASS BGC and the not-yet-finalised HIPASS general catalogue. Photographer’s Assistant/Assistant Photographer, Talbot Ott Photography; Carlton — Feb ’00-Nov ’01 Talbot Ott Photography (now smalldog) is an real estate photography firm, which was an industry pioneer in terms of digital photography. My introduction to the company was to run the business for two weeks while my boss went on his honeymoon - this is when I was aged 19, and after only two weeks’ training. My routine duties as a photographer’s assistant included digital image processing and manipulation, printing, desktop publishing, distribution, office duties, and ‘gophering’. At various times I also acted as assistant photographer, doing my own shoots in the Melbourne’s south and east suburbs. The Mill Indoor Climbing Centre — Oct ’98-Nov ’01 My duties as a climbing instructor included safety instruction and supervision, as well as running group programmes; this is in addition to basic behind-the-counter duties, including customer service and cash handling. As a manager, I was responsible for both opening and closing.
