1. Proposition de theses au sein du reseau europeen MAGPOP
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stephane Charlot (charlot@MPA-Garching.MPG.DE)

POSITIONS for PhD STUDENTS IN ASTROPHYSICS:
European Network for the Multiwavelength Analysis of Galaxy POPulations

--> http://skyserver.elte.hu/magpop/

As part of its current Research Training Network (RTN) programme
the European Commission has provided four year funding for a new
Research Network whose main objective is to use a wide range of
of multi-wavelength survey data to quantify empirically how
the stars in galaxies were formed, how the heavy
elements in galaxies were produced and how black holes were
assembled over the history of the Universe. The network links the
following eight astronomical institutions with expertise in
the construction and analysis of  galaxy surveys at different
wavelengths, in stellar population synthesis and modelling
of galactic SEDs, and in the modelling of galaxy formation
in its full cosmological context.

   --Max-Planck Institut fuer Astrophysik, Garching bei Muenchen, Germany.
   --Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris, France.
   --Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille, France
   --University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom
   --Universidad Complutense de Madrid,  Spain
   --Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, Italy (in collaboration
     with SISSA, Trieste, Italy)
   --Eotvos Lorand University of Budapest, Hungary
   --Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA

As part of this programme, four openings for PhD students will
available from Fall 2005. These positions will be based in
Paris, Padova-Trieste and Budapest. Students will work on a focused
research topic, but they will also receive a broad training
in cosmology and galaxy formation, both in the analysis of
state-of-the-art observational data and in its theoretical
interpretation. The Network will organize schools and lecture
courses to facilitate this. Students will also have ample opportunity
to interact with scientists from the entire Network and will
receive generous mobility and career allowance in
addition to their salary.

According to the rules of the programme, these PhD posts are open
only to nationals of countries other than in which the post is held.
Applicants should not have been resident in the country where they
propose to study more than 12 months in the three years before
the start of the post.

Interested candidates are urged to contact one or more of the following
network coordinators for more details on how to apply:

1) Dr. Stephane Charlot, IAP, Paris (charlot@iap.fr)

2) Dr. Gian Luigi Granato, OAPD, Padova (granato@pd.astro.it)

3) Dr. Istvan Csabai, ELTE, Budapest (csabai@ludens.elte.hu)

2. SOLEIL Workshop "High Resolution in the gas phase" - Orsay, 21-22/03/05

SOLEIL Workshop

"New trends in gas phase VUV/soft X-ray high resolution  spectroscopies
at SOLEIL"

21st & 22nd March 2005

Universite Paris-Sud (Orsay, France)
Amphitheatre "Pierre Lehmann" - LAL, Bat. 200

SOLEIL, the new French synchrotron radiation facility, will provide the
dilute phase scientific community with the most advanced (brilliant,
variably polarized and highly monochromatic) tunable light sources in
the VUV (DESIRS beamline: 5 - 40 eV) and soft X-ray  (PLEIADES beamline:
35 - 1000 eV) ranges, respectively. These two  beamlines will be mostly
devoted to high resolution absorption, fluorescence, electronic and
ionic spectroscopies. They will be equipped with permanent end-stations
and newly designed high resolution spectrometers (e.g. Fourier Transform
absorption set-up, electron and ion spectrometers possibly operated in
coincidence  modes) available to the users. The expected ultra-high
resolving  powers, resulting from new conceptual developments of the
sources (100000 to 200000 in the VUV and 15000 to 55000 in the soft
X-rays) as well as the electron and photon spectrometers (500 000
at 20 eV in absorption with the FT spectrometer) clearly offer new
opportunities in valence and inner-shell high resolution spectroscopies.

The scope of the workshop is to update the scientific cases of the
two beamlines and to structure the potential user community by
exploring the present and future topics of research in spectroscopies
and photon-induced dynamics (excitation and decay) of atoms,
molecules, radicals, ions and clusters. Issues of interest for
astrophysics, atmospheric photochemistry, plasma physics and
metrology will be addressed. The links between high spectral
resolution studies in the diluted and condensed matter (surfaces,
solids) will also be investigated. Emphasis will be given to recent
theoretical developments for the interpretation of high resolution
measurements.

The two day workshop intends to gather a wide and diversified
audience around several sessions consisting in invited and
contributed oral presentations as well as a poster session.
The 2nd announcement and Call for papers will be released in
November. Meanwhile, we would be grateful to you if you would
