1. MAX PLANCK RESEARCH SCHOOL FOR ASTRONOMY & COSMIC PHYSICS
   (comunicado por Marcelo Borges)

Dear Colleagues,

applications are invited for the doctoral program of the

------------------------------------------------------------
    International Max Planck Research School for Astronomy &
    Cosmic Physics at the University of Heidelberg (IMPRS-HD)
------------------------------------------------------------

 starting summer/autumn 2009.

 Our school is located in Heidelberg, Germany, a beautiful old
 university town.
 The scientific environment in Heidelberg provides outstanding
 research facilities and a training program covering a wide range of
 research topics with access to ground-based and space telescopes as
 well as high-performance computers.
 The following institutions of the Max Planck Society and Heidelberg
 University take part in IMPRS-HD:

 ->  Max Planck Institute for Astronomy
 ->  Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics
 ->  Astronomisches Rechen-Institut
 ->  Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics
 ->  Landessternwarte Koenigstuhl

 IMPRS-HD is an independent part of the Heidelberg Graduate School of
 Fundamental Physics.

 A wide range of astrophysical topics is covered in Heidelberg, among
 them  ** planet & star formation, metal-poor stars ** extrasolar planets &
 substellar objects ** astrometry ** formation, evolution & dynamics
 of galaxies ** active galactic nuclei & massive black holes **
 gravitational lensing ** cosmology & structure formation ** high
 energy astrophysics, cosmic rays & the search for non-baryonic dark
 matter ** state-of-the-art instrumentation for astronomy & astro-
 particle physics **

 IMPRS-HD is open for students from all countries. We offer several
 3-year fellowships available to both international and German students.
 We invite highly-qualified and well-motivated students aiming for a
 doctoral degree in astrophysics to apply by

 --> December 13, 2008  for the academic year starting Sept. 2009
