The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves and magnetosphere/plasmasphere dynamics in relationship to plasma dynamics, particle populations, ring current decay and plasma plumes, including heavy ions. Satellite data resident in the Centre will provide the basis for analyses, complemented with additional data. Modelling and simulation will also be undertaken using existing and new codes, and collaborative studies. A recent PhD with a background in space plasma physics, and experience of handling large datasets, and familiarity with any of the following would be an advantage; LINUX, IDL, C/C++. The position will commence as soon as possible with an initial one year appointment, renewable annually for a further two years. Funding is provided by the Australian Research Council and salary will be A$57,579 per annum in the first year, with annual increments of approximately A$4,000 in each of the following two years. Applications, including a CV, names and addresses of two referees and a brief description of experience and aspirations, should be sent by 2 March, 2007, to Professor Brian Fraser (brian.fraser at newcastle.edu.au), Physics Building, University of Newcastle, NSW 2308, Australia. From Geoff.James at csiro.au Thu Aug 30 23:11:40 2007 From: Geoff.James at csiro.au (Geoff.James at csiro.au) Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2007 23:11:40 +1000 Subject: [ncrs-general] WARS 2008 Conference, Workshop on Applications of Radio Science, Gold Coast, 10-12 February 2008 Message-ID: Dear Australian radio scientist, I'm happy to announce that the WARS 2008 Conference, the Australian Workshop on Applications of Radio Science, will take place at the Sofitel Gold Coast during 10-12 February 2008. The National Committee for Radio Science (NCRS) established the WARS series of conferences to create a forum for the presentation of current work in radio science, particularly in Australia, and for discussions between radio scientists to promote new work. The WARS Conferences provide an important opportunity for cross-fertilisation of ideas between the wide range of sub-disciplines that make up radio science in Australia and also internationally. They provide a forum to discuss and plan new projects that will develop Australia's contributions to radio science and its applications, both nationally and internationally. All WARS papers are fully reviewed, to meet the DEST E1 classification for refereed papers published in conference proceedings, and thereby encourage student attendance and support by Universities. Submissions are encouraged in any area of radio science, and particularly in the three focus areas for WARS 2008: cognitive radio, the Australian SKA Pathfinder, and wireles sensor/actuator networks. Student submissions are also welcome and there will be a prize for the best student paper. For further information, including registration, paper submission, and special sessions for this conference, see http://www.ncrs.org.au/wars/wars2008/.

The General Assembly of the International Union of Radio Science will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Chicago, USA on August 07-16, 2008. It will cover all areas of Radio Science and will consist of plenary lectures, public lectures, tutorials, invited and contributed papers. In addition, there will be workshops, short courses, special programs for young scientists and graduate students, programs for accompanying persons, and industrial exhibits. More than 1,500 scientists from more than fifty countries are expected to participate. This email is to invite young scientists to apply for two awards: 1) Young (under 35) Scientists awards, which provide free registration and some financial support for board and lodging at the General Assembly. 2) Student paper competition, open to all full-time University students, which provides accommodation at the GA, a certificate and a cash prize. In both cases, you need to submit a paper by 31 January 2008.

To help us achieve a balanced program I extend to you, particularly if you work in these areas, a final opportunity to submit a paper for peer review - please contact me directly with an estimate of your submission date and I will do my best to find reviewers who can assess by 30th November. For the rest of us it is time to think of posters and, although these are not due with their abstracts until 25th January, it would help us plan the program and venue arrangements if we know in advance what posters to expect. If you're planning to attend with a poster, please tell us the expected title at your earliest convenience. Early-bird registration is due by 7th December so please register early, by email to Greg.Hislop at csiro.au, to save a few dollars. For more information please see http://www.ncrs.org.au/wars/wars2008/ or contact Greg or me.
