The IMPRS for Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences and the IMPRS of Advanced Photon Science are hosting an interdisciplinary symposium aiming to bring together people from Life Science and Physics. Several top level speakers including three Nobel Laureates will participate.
The symposium, taking place on October 16, 2009 is open to all interested junior and senior scientists. Registration is not required.
Please communicate this announcement to potentially interested students.
More info regarding the symposium is available at our website:

* High spatial resolution in Astronomy: the VLTI training school *
The next VLTI training school will be held in the Centre IGESA, Porquerolles Island, Côte d’Azur, France in 17th-28th April 2010.
Any student wishing to deepen his(her) knowledge on optical interferometry is welcome to attend the school.
Further news will regularly be posted at the European interferometry inititative website (http://www.european-interferometry.eu/training/2010).
* Fizeau call open *
The Fizeau exchange visitors program in optical interferometry funds
(travel and accommodation) visits of researchers to an institute of
his/her choice (within the European Community) to perform collaborative
work and training. The program is open for all levels of astronomers (Ph.D. students to tenured staff). The deadline for applications is the 15th September for visits starting 1st of November.
Further information available at the European interferometry website (http://www.european-interferometry.eu/fizeau-program).
Effective immediately, a two-year postdoctoral position is
available at Leiden Observatory, in connection with the ASTRONET-
funded project ARTIST: Adaptable Radiative Transfer Innovations for
Submillimeter Telescopes. The primary tasks of the postdoc will be
to develop and test interfaces between existing theoretical
descriptions of low-mass star formation and the modeling tools
designed within ARTIST. Throughout, comparison to data form
existing telescopes (such as JCMT, APEX, CARMA, SMA, and Herschel)
will be used to apply the developed tools.
The ARTIST project is a collaboration between Leiden Observatory,
the Argelander Institute for Astronomy at the University of Bonn,
and the Institut de Ciencies de l'Espa, Barcelona (see
http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/ARC/artist). The project aims to
develop the next generation modeling suite for comprehensive multi-
dimensional radiative transfer calculations of dust and line
emission, and is specifically designed for ALMA and Herschel. Low-
mass star formation is explicitly taken as a research inspiration
for ARTIST, although wider applicability is foreseen.
A demonstrated background in star formation studies is required.
The postdoc will have ample opportunity to pursue her/his own
research, including collaborations with members of the network.
Leiden Observatory is at the forefront of astronomical research and
has a strong international character. We offer a competitive salary
and excellent benefits. All research facilities of Leiden
Observatory are available to the postdoc.
Applicants should send a CV, publication list, a statement of
research interests, and three letters of recommendation to Dr. M.R.
Hogerheijde at michiel@strw.leidenuniv.nl. Evaluation of the
applications starts October 1 2009 and continues until the position
is filled.
recently the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) founded a new project to
attract young foreign scientists to come to work in China for a period of
0.5 to 1 year. The qualified candidates has to be a PhD younger than 35
with at least 3 years postdoc or stuff experiences in some well known
institutes. The CAS will provide 100,000 RMB Yuan (approximately 10,000
Euro) for a half year or 200,000 RMB Yuan for one full year working in a
institute of mainland China. The deadline is Jan. 31, 2010, and the funding
starts from July 1, 2010.
