PhD OPPORTUNITIES IN ASTRO/PARTICLE PHYSICS AT DURHAM (comunicado por Beatriz Barbuy) Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics Department of Physics Durham University Durham, UK. Early Stage Training at the interface between particle physics and cosmology (EST/ICCIPPP) Marie Curie Early Stage Training PhD studentships beginning October 2006 The Ogden Centre for Fundamental Physics houses two world leading research groups, the Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC) and the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology (IPPP). In recognition of the excellent track records of the groups in research and research training, the Ogden Centre has been awarded an Early Stage Training Host Fellowship, under the European Commission's Marie Curie programme. Applications are invited for three year studentships leading to the degree of PhD. The studentships are fully funded by the Marie Curie programme. Applicants should have, or expect to gain, at least the equivalent of a upper second class MSci or master's degree in physics, mathematics or astrophysics. There is no formal deadline for applications, however those received before 24th February 2006 will be given full consideration for studentships starting in October 2006. There are no restrictions on the nationality of applicants, other than researchers must not be UK nationals. At the start of the fellowship, researchers may not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc) in the UK for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the start of the studentship. Instructions on how to apply for an EST studentship at Durham can be found at http://www.dur.ac.uk/physics/postgraduate/howtoapply/ Electronic copies of the application form and a template form for referees can be downloaded from this link. Please mark your application ``EST/ICCIPPP'' for consideration under the Marie Curie programme. You should ask two referees to provide statements in support of your application. All materials, i.e. the application form AND the referees' letters can be submitted electronically to norma.twomey@durham.ac.uk or faxed to +44 (0)191 334 3745. Please put EST/ICCIPPP in the subject of all email correspondence and ask your referees to do this also. Further details about the training on offer can be found at: http://ganymede.phyast.dur.ac.uk/ICC/mariecurie/ The ICC is a leading international centre for research into the origin and evolution of the universe and is the UK base for the Virgo Consortium for supercomputing. The ICC has access to very high performance computing facilities which are dedicated to executing cosmological simulations. Further details of the research of the ICC and the projects on offer can be found at http://www.icc.dur.ac.uk. The IPPP aims to foster world-class research in particle physics phenomenology - the bridge between theory and experiment in the study of the tiny building blocks of all matter in the universe and of the fundamental forces that operate between them. Further details of the research of the IPPP and the projects on offer can be found at http://www.ippp.dur.ac.uk. ========================================================================= 2. OPORTUNIDADE NO MINIOBSERVATÓRIO ASTRONÔMICO DO INPE (comunicado por André Milone) O Miniobservatório Astronômico da Divisão de Astrofísica do INPE oferece uma bolsa do Programa de Capacitação Institucional (PCI) do INPE/MCT, modalidade DTI (Desenvolvimento Tecnológico Industrial) e nível 7G (R$1.045,89), dentro de um projeto de desenvolvimento computacional para observações astronômicas remotas com telescópio e câmera CCD abrangendo a automatização de instrumentos periféricos. O Miniobservatório localiza-se na sede do INPE em São José dos Campos (SP). O bolsista precisa ter graduação concluída em Computação, Engenharia, Matemática, Física ou Astronomia, ou com pelo menos 6 anos de experência profissional como técnico de nível médio em Informática ou área afins. O candidato não pode estar vinculado a nenhum programa de pós-graduação. É necessário a comprovação de conhecimento/experiência em programação nas linguagens C, PhP e Java, servidor Apache/Mysql e nos sistemas operacionais Linux RedHat e Windows XP. A bolsa, em regime de dedicação exclusiva, terá início em abril de 2006, duração de 24 meses e pode ser renovada por mais 24 meses com um interregno de 2 meses.
