Awards, grants and allocation of Telescope time • 2008: Awarded a PDRA and Full Economic Costing for myself along with travel and equipment costs from STFC for the VISTA-VIDEO survey. The total grant amounts to £285,000 for the period 01/04/09-31/03/12. • 2008: Awarded Full Economic Costing for myself along with travel and equipment costs from STFC in preparation for the VISTA-VIDEO survey. The total grant amounts to £22,262 for the year 01/04/08-31/03/09. • 2003-2008: Over the past five years I have secured large amounts of telescope time, on all the facilities to which the UK currently has access. As PI, this amounts to in excess of 150 hours on 8-m class telescopes, and of order 60 nights on 2.5-4 m class telescopes. This converts to a PPARC notional cost of approximately £2 million. This has culminated in the award of > 200 nights for the VISTA Deep Extragalactic Observations public survey to be conducted on the ESO VISTA telescope from 2008 (see application), this converts to a notional cost of approximately £4 million. I am also co-PI on the he Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (SERVS) will survey five fields, three of which are covered by the VIDEO survey. This survey was awarded 1400 hours on the Spitzer Space Telescope in Dec 2008. • 2006: Secured £20,000 towards the cost of narrow-band filters for the VISTA telescope from the Oxford University Fell fund. During my time in Leiden I was able to secure ϵ25,000 to help fund the Leiden conference, “Radio galaxies: past, present and future”. • 2006: Awarded an Academic related merit award from the University of Oxford for employees “who have performed well in all the key areas of their jobs and who have, in addition, demonstrated performance at an excellent level, above that expected in their grade.” Scientific Activities & Responsibilities • 2009 - present: Member of the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) team. I lead the radio follow-up of the GAMA fields with the GMRT. This is also part of the radio follow-up for the Herschel-ATLAS pro ject where I also lead the radio follow-up. • 2009 - present: Member of the SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) Telescope Hi surveys WALLABY and DINGO. • 2009 - present: Member of the SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) Telescope continuum proposal EMU where I chair of the working group for Cosmological studies. • 2009 - present: Member of the James Clarke Maxwell Telescope Time Allocation Committee. • 2009 - present: UK extragalactic science expert on the Isaac Newton Telescope Group Science Advisory Committee, providing recommendations on the scientific future of the Isaac Newton Group. • 2008 - present: Chair of the working group for Cosmological studies with the LOFAR telescope • 2008 - present: Co-Leader of the AGN science to be conducted with the Herschel-ATLAS survey; the largest time allocation awarded on the Herschel Space Telescope in Open Time. I also sit on the ATLAS executive committee and lead the radio follow-up over these areas. • 2008 - present: Co-Leader of the AGN science to be conducted with the VISTA-VIKING survey which will be carried out over the Herschel-ATLAS fields and sit on the management committee for VIKING. • 2007 - present: Member of the science team for the ESA Cosmic Visions Mission “SPectroscopic All-sky Cosmic Explorer (SPACE)” which has now become EUCLID. I am leading the programme to establish synergies between EUCLID and the Square Kilometer Array. • 2007 - present: Member of the science team for the HARMONI integral-field spectrograph for the European Extremely Large Telescope. • 2007 - present: Member of the LOFAR Extragalactic Survey Key Science Pro ject Core Team where I have defined the survey plan with Huub R”ottgering and Philip Best. I am also the UH representative on the LOFAR:UK management committee. • 2007 - present: Principal Investigator (PI) of the SKA Virtual Telescope Deep Fields proposal for the SKA Design Study (SKADS). I am also a co-I on ‘HI absorption’ and ’Cosmological Surveys’ with the SKADS Virtual Telescope. • 2007 - present: I am the principal investigator of a programme to detect the most distant galaxies in the Universe with a Guaranteed Time Programme on VISTA using custom made narrow-band filters. • 2006-present: Current chair of the International SKA Science Simulations Task Force. This requires me to lead the science simulation efforts for the Square Kilometer Array on a world-wide scale. • 2006 - present: Member of the International SKA Science Working Group; the body that makes recommendations to the International SKA Steering Committee with respect to the science possible with the SKA. • 2006 - 2007: SKA Design Study2-T1 science simulations team.
