Ph.D. student positions in cosmology and fundamental interactions Szczecin Cosmology Group at the Institute of Physics of the University of Szczecin invites applications for 2 Ph.D. student positions cosmology, particle physics, and fundamental interactions. The positions are supposed to be filled after 1st of March 2014 and last for 3 years. The positions are funded by the National Science Centre Maestro-3 grant ,,New consequences of the variability of the fundamental constants in physics and cosmology" led by prof. Mariusz P. Dąbrowski (DEC-2012/06/A/ST2/00395). The gross monthly salary per a position is 2500 PLN, there is a possibility for a cheaper university supported accommodation, travel fund is available. The city of Szczecin is located near to polish border with Germany 130 km away from Berlin with good access to international airports. The research will deal with broad area of the particle physics and cosmology with the emphasis onto the theories with variable physical constants and their consequences onto the evolution of the universe. The project will refer to both theoretical as well as experimental and observational aspects of such theories. The deadline for applications is 14th February, 2014. Applications should include CV, list of publications, a brief statement of research interests, a copy of graduate studies diploma (M.Sc.) and a copy of the thesis.

Observing the Universe with the CMB, 22-26.04.2014, L'Aquila, Italy IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT This is to inform you that the deadline for application to the Course on "Observing the Universe with the Cosmic Microwave Background" has been extended to February 22. Please visit the School website http://www.cifs-isss.org for any further information. Sincerely Paola Solini ------------------------- The International School of Space Science of the Consorzio Interuniversitario per la Fisica Spaziale organizes a Course on 'Observing the Universe with the Cosmic Microwave Background', to be held in L'Aquila, Italy, April 22-26, 2014, and directed by P. de Bernardis, M. Bersanelli, N. Mandolesi and J.-L. Puget. The aim of the School is to present the Planck satellite mission which has provided a multifrequency detailed view of the Universe at millimeter waves, exploring the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the relevant foregrounds with an unprecedented combination of sensitivity, angular resolution and frequency coverage. Meanwhile, a number of ground based and balloon-borne experiments are exploring the tiniest details of the CMB (anisotropy, polarization, spectral anisotropy, etc.) providing a wealth of new knowledge on our universe. New space mission concepts have also been proposed, involving significant technology improvements, and are actively investigated. This school will provide an up to date review of the latest results and of their impact on cosmology and on fundamental physics. Experimental, interpretation and theoretical activities will be weighted to provide a well balanced understanding of the current status and of the forthcoming efforts in this field.

IAU Symposium 308: The Zeldovich Universe: Genesis and Growth of the Cosmic Web @Tallinn (Estonia)

IAU Symposium 308: The Zeldovich Universe: Genesis and Growth of the Cosmic Web We are happy to announce IAU Symposium 308 "The Zel'dovich' Universe: Genesis and Growth of the Cosmic Web", which will be held in Tallinn, Estonia, from June 23-28, 2014. 2014 is the centenary year of the birth of Yakov Zel'dovich. IAU symposium 308 pays tribute to his outstanding contributions to the understanding of the large scale matter distribution in the Universe by devoting its attention on the Cosmic Web and cosmic structure formation. The symposium will synthesize the large advances and insights obtained from many different observational and theoretical studies and set out the lines for the major upcoming scientific programs that will not only extend our view over a far larger fraction of the visible Universe but also allow the systematic investigation of the evolution of cosmic structure. Topics that will be addressed are: - Large Scale Galaxy Surveys - Simulations of Large Scale Structure formation - Structural Analysis of the Cosmic Web - Large Scale Structure at high redshift - the Zel'dovich Legacy: theory & dynamics - Gravitational Lensing and the Cosmic Web - Voids - the Local Universe (reconstruction, dynamics and velocity flows) - Dynamical Analysis of the Cosmic Web - the Gaseous Cosmic Web (Lyman alpha forest, WHIM, ...) - Cosmic Web as environment for galaxy formation - Galaxies in the Cosmic Web - Dark Ages -- Reionization - Primordial Signature of the Cosmic Web (BAOs, primordial non-Gaussianities, non-standard Gravity) - Future Surveys - Cosmology of Yakov Zel'dovich: historical and scientific perspective Registration, abstract submission and application for financial support are now possible. More information can be found in our conference webpage http://www.iau-zeldovich.org/
