POST DOCTORAL POSITION - NIELS BOHR INSTITUTE    (comunicado por Thyrso Villela Neto) Post Doctoral Position in Cosmic Microwave BackgroundScience The Niels Bohr Institute (NBI) announces a postdoctoralposition in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) research. Theposition is open from June 1, 2007. Applicants mustdocument a solid theoretical background in cosmology, astrophysics or physics and well-developed computer skills. The successful applicant is expected to participate in thescientific preparation for and exploitation of the upcomingESA Planck Surveyor Mission aimed at measuring theanisotropy and polarization of the CMB, a mission in which NBI (www.nbi.ku.dk) and the Danish National Space Center(DNSC) are participating. The main task of the postdoctoral fellow will be to conductand publish research in CMB-related science and toparticipate in the development of methods for extraction ofCMB signals from the Planck data. Interaction with researchers at DNSC (www.spacecenter.dk) and the new DarkCosmology Center ( www.dark-cosmology.dk) is foreseen. The postdoctoral fellowship is for 3 years. A Ph.D. degreeand relevant research experience are required. Terms of appointment and salary are set by agreementbetween the Ministry of Finance and AC (the DanishConfederation of Professional Associations of Academics inthe State). The application must be in English and must include:- Research Plan- Curriculum Vitae- A complete list of publications indicating a maximum of 5papers of particular interest- 3 copies of each of the selected papers. In case of publications with more than one author, a statementregarding the applicant's contribution shall be provided- Documentation for teaching experience and otherqualificationsAnd have two letters of reference forwarded to the same address. The applications will be evaluated by an assessmentcommittee. Applicants may be summoned for an interview. Anypotential applicant is invited to apply irrespective ofage, sex, race religion or ethnic background. Further inquiries about research plans, facilities and staff shouldbe directed to Professor Pavel Naselsky (naselsky@nbi.dk ). The application must be sent to Ulla Holm, Niels BohrInstitute, Blegdamsvej 17, DK – 2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark.The deadline for applications is April 16, 2007 at noon.Material received after this time will not be considered.

DOCTORAL POSITIONS - UNIVERSITY OF VIENNA (comunicado por Beatriz Barbuy) Doctoral positions in the International Graduate School on"THE COSMIC MATTER CIRCUIT"at the Institute of Astronomy, University of Vienna The international graduate school (Initiativkolleg: IK) on "The Cosmic Matter Circuit" awards up to nine doctoral positions to highly qualified and motivated students starting October 1st, 2007. The PhD program focuses on one of the big challenges of modern Astrophysics, the various processes of matter cycles. Research topics range from the small-scale matter cycle (stellar mass loss, chemical yields, interstellar medium) via the galactic-scale matter cycle (propagation of Cosmic Rays, galactic disk-halo connection, galactic winds and gas infall) to the global extragalactic scales (e.g. gas removal from galaxies by galaxy-galaxy interactions and ram-pressure stripping, evolution of galaxy groups and clusters, and galaxy formation). The positions are funded for 3 years. The successful applicants are employed half time (20 hours/week) at the University of Vienna, including up to 10 hours/week in teaching and research tasks to be agreed individually. The total annual stipend amounts to 14,321 Euros, including health insurance, university tuition fees are waived. Very good skill of the English language is mandatory. Thestudents are expected to hold a degree equivalent to the Austrian Diploma or Masters Degree in Astronomy/Astrophysics or a related area. With more than 60000 students from 130 different countries the University of Vienna is one of thelargest in Europe and offers a stimulating environment and atmosphere for studies and research. The Institute of Astronomy houses more than 400 students in Bachelor, Master, and PhD level studies and provides excellent training and research facilities with courses and research topics over a wide astronomical range from planetary sciences, stellar astrophysics and satellite astronomy tothose of the IK. Owing to its long history, Vienna is one of the leading cultural metropoles of the world and is situated in the heart of the growing European Union. The city is located beautifully in the Danube valley, flanked by the Vienna forest, and is about 2 hours from one of the most attractive hiking and skiing resorts in Europe. Applicants are invited to submit documents by e-mail or first class mail to the Spokesperson of the College that have to arrive before May 31st, 2007 and to include:· cover letter stating the reasons for applying; · curriculum vitae;· documentation of previous studies and certified copies of all university degrees received;· Expose of research interests and/or proposed dissertation projects (max. 3 pages).
