PhD fellowship is for 1 year with expected extension for two more years.Postdoctoral fellowships is for 1 year, with possible extension foranother year at other Network partners.

The fellowships are parts of the Marie Curie Research Training Networkc2c project (www.c2c.bgi.uni-bayreuth.de). The research will focus onmechanical, elastic and thermodynamical high-pressure and tempera-ture properties of major crust and mantle minerals in order to determinethe strength, water content ,density of subducting crust. The problemswill be investigated, using ab initio computational techniques. Theresearch will use advanced computational tools at disposal of c2c.Visits at other nodes of the c2c network are for seen.

Candidates should submit a curriculum vitae, publication list, a recom-mendation letter and a summary of research interests to Prof. KrzysztofParlinski, Institute of Nuclear Physics PAN, ul.Radzikowskiego 142, 30-150 Cracow, Poland. For more information, please consult

54 Physics World October 2007

Deutsches Elektronen-SynchrotronPETRA III Research

DESY is one of the leading accelerator centres worldwide.

The Laboratory’s main research areas comprise a broad pro-

gram of photon science, including construction, operation

and use of synchrotron-light sources and of X-ray lasers, and

research in elementary particle and astroparticle physics.

Particle accelerators produce high intensive radiation for most di-

verse innovative applications. By the forthcoming upgrade of the

PETRA storage ring into a 3rd generation synchrotron light source,

the operation of the free-electron laser FLASH and the construc-

tion of the European XFEL DESY will take up an international top

position in research with photons. We seek a

Beamline Scientist (Ph.D.)

for the Coherence Beamline at PETRA III, covering both, imaging

and photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) applications. At

present FLASH provides world-unique opportunities for research

using short-wavelength radiation. One of the most prominent

features of the novel light sources is the high flux of coherent

radiation produced. The successful candidate will work in a

team on the specification, design, installation, commissioning

and later operation of the beamline together with other scientists

and engineers, in close collaboration with the DESY beamline

technology group.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in physics or in a related field

and have a proven record in synchrotron radiation research.

Expertise in X-ray optics, modern detector systems and expe-

rience in imaging and/or time/frequency domain techniques

is necessary. Experience with coherence based techniques

would be preferable. If you are interested in the position you are

invited to send your complete application including a resume

and the usual documents (curriculum vitae, list of publications

and copies of university degree) quoting the reference code

to our personnel department. For further information you may

contact G. Gruebel (Gerhard.gruebel@desy.de) or H. Franz (Her-

mann.Franz@desy.de).

The successful candidate will be offered a tenure-track position.

Salary and benefits are commensurate with those of public

service organisations in Germany. Handicapped persons will be

given preference to other equally qualified applicants. DESY is an

equal opportunity, affirmative action employer and encourages

applications from women. DESY has a kindergarten on site.

Deutsches Elektronen-SynchrotronAstroparticle Physics

DESY is one of the leading accelerator centres worldwide.

The Laboratory’s main research areas comprise a broad pro-

gram of photon science, including construction, operation

and use of synchrotron-light sources and of X-ray lasers, and

research in elementary particle and astroparticle physics.

The Astroparticle Physics group (Helmholtz-junior-research group

for multi-messenger studies) at DESY in Zeuthen, near Berlin,

offers a

Post Doc position (m/f)

in experimental Astroparticle Physics.

The group works on the development of novel analysis methods

to increase the sensitivity of IceCube to neutrino point-sources

and on analysis of gamma-ray data from Active Galactic Nuclei.

A recent development of the group is the Neutrino triggered

Target of Opportunity cooperation between MAGIC and IceCube.

The successful candidate has the possibility to join both the

IceCube and MAGIC collaborations and will work on data analysis

(neutrinos and gamma-rays).

A degree in physics or a related field is required. Software

experience (C++, Python), acquaintance with techniques of

high-energy data analysis and a background in Astroparticle

physics are advantageous. Candidates are expected to show

good team working and communication skills, help supervising

students, organize discussion forums and share duty tasks for the

operation of both IceCube and MAGIC.

Interested candidates should send their application quoting the

reference code (including a CV, three letters of reference and

a statement of research interests) to the personnel department

in Hamburg (address see below). For more information please

contact Dr. Elisa Bernardini (elisa.bernardini@desy.de) or see

http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/multi-messenger/.

The position is limited to 2 years, with a possible extension of

another year.

Salary and benefits are commensurate with those of public

service organisations in Germany. Handicapped persons will be

given preference to other equally qualified applicants. DESY is an

equal opportunity, affirmative action employer and encourages
