1- Postdoctoral position in Galactic Archaeology, Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur

Deadline May 10th, 2011

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur (Laboratoire Cassiopée) to work on Galactic Archaeology by means of high-resolution spectroscopic surveys of the Milky-Way stellar populations (in close collaboration with Drs V. Hill, P. de Laverny and A. Recio-Blanco).
The successful applicant is expected to work on the data analysis of small (PI projects) to very-large scale (proposed ESO Large Public Survey ESO-GAIA) spectroscopic surveys of Milky-Way stellar populations, using and developing automated techniques for stellar parametrization (e.g. MATISSE, Recio-Blanco et al., 2006, developed in-house). The position is offered as part of the GALHIS ANR-funded project (http://www.obs-besancon.fr/galhis/).

Applicants with previous experience in the field of observational stellar astrophysics, spectroscopic and/or chemical analysis, Milky-Way stellar populations, are particularly welcome, but all applicants with experience in related areas will also be considered. Preference will be given to candidates with strong independent research programs in these areas, as the applicant is expected to carry out his own research in parallel.

The appointment is expected to start in the fall of 2011, for two years.
Applicants should submit : CV, list of publications, statement of research, brief research project, and arrange for 2-3 letters of reference.
E-mail submission to Vanessa.Hill@oca.eu is preferred.
Full consideration will be given to applications received by May 10st 2011, and the position will remain open until filled.
The OCA is strongly involved in the preparation of the Gaia mission and the ground-based spectroscopic complementary survey (e.g. ESO-GAIA), and offers a stimulating scientific environment (https://gaia.oca.eu/).

Benefits :
The position includes the Full access to the French healthcare system (medical, maternity, etc) and vacation.

Message de Graham Haper (Dublin, graham.harper@tcd.ie) :

The School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin has been awarded 15
PhD studentships two of which are allocated for stellar astrophysics.
I am looking for candidates to do stellar spectroscopy and line
formation of cool stars.

These studentships are for 4-years at the standard Ireland stipend of
16,000 Euro/year and includes EU fees.

3- Appel à propositions de GREAT : ateliers, écoles et échanges

Dear All,

today our current GREAT ESF call for proposals to support a range of networking activities has been issued.

In particular you will find calls to support the following :

a) Workshops - see http://www.great-esf.eu/participate/esf-meetings/esf-workshops/Workshop-Call-Apr11/

b) Longer Exchange visits - see http://www.great-esf.eu/participate/esf-grants/esf-visits/Exch-Call-Apr11/ (Note that for short exchange visits only, proposals can be made at any time.)

c) We also invite ideas and suggestions for a Training School to be held before end 2012 - see http://www.great-esf.eu/participate/esf-grants/esf-schools/esf-schools.html

The links above provide full details for each funding opportunity together with the link to the proposal submission page.

The deadlines for receipt of proposals are *Friday 3rd June 2011* (@ 18.00 GMT). All proposals will be evaluated by the GREAT ESF Steering Committee with replies by email to proposers made by early July 2011.

For this open call, proposals are welcome to support networking in any area within the science scope of the GREAT programme. Please check the list of previously supported calls on the wiki pagehttp://great.ast.cam.ac.uk/Greatwiki/GaiaScienceMeetings as proposals covering similar topics to those recently supported will need to demonstrate a clear additional value.

General information concerning the GREAT programme is available at http://www.great-esf.eu

Yours, Nicholas Walton

(on behalf of the GREAT ESF RNP Steering Committee)
