As part of the Marie Curie Research Training Network Programme, the
European Commission has recently provided funding for a new network
called JETSET. The network will bring together researchers working on
observations, theory, computational modelling (including grid computing)
and laboratory experiments centred on understanding outflows from young
stars. The network links eleven European institutions and 80 researchers.
Applications are now invited for 6 Postdoctoral Fellowships and 11 PhD
Studentships in the following fields:
1: Models of MHD Jets in Young Stars: 2 Fellowships in Athens and
Grenoble, 2 Studentships in Porto and Turin
2: The Observed Structure and Propagation of Stellar Jets: 1 Fellowship
in Florence and 3 Studentships in Turin, Porto and Grenoble
3: The Molecular Counterparts and Effects of Jets on their Environment:
1 Fellowship in Tautenburg and 2 Studentships in Rome
4: The Structure and Propagation of Laboratory Jets: 2 Studentships
in London
5: Large Numerical Simulations of Jets using Grid Technology: 1
Fellowship in Dublin and 2 Studentships in Heidelberg
6: Global Approach: 1 Fellowship in Dublin
Individual deadlines for applications are posted on the JETSET website
(www.jetsets.org) where further details about the positions, application
procedures and restrictions may be found. JETSET is committed to equal
opportunity/affirmative action. Women and members of minorities are
encouraged to apply.
