И, наконец, после успешной защиты не забывайте, что диплом не дает права на неуважительное отношение к Вашим коллегам. Приходилось встречать много очень компетентных людей без кандидатских дипломов, а также немало личностей со степенью, которые даже элементарных вещей не знают. Ученый — это состояние души, способ мышления, а не счастливый обладатель диплома.

STUDY THE BLACK HOLE UNIVERSE

10 PhD positions in new EU Marie Curie ITN Network Multiple within EU Initial Training Network

http://members.aas.org/JobReg/JobDetailPage.cfm?JobID=24702

Applications are invited for the first of two hiring rounds, of 5 fully funded PhD positions each, as part of a new EU FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN), "Black Hole Universe". Pending final approval by the European Commission, this five year Network will begin in Autumn 2008, and link the University of Erlangen-Nurnberg (J. Wilms), University of Amsterdam (S. Markoff, R. Wijnands), INAF/Brera Observatory (Milan, T. Belloni), University of Cagliari (L. Burderi), Sabanci University (Istanbul, E. Kalemci), CEA Saclay (S. Corbel, J. Rodriguez), and the University of Southampton (P. Uttley, I. McHardy) via the training of 10 early stage researchers. In collabo ration with the Network, the PhDs will pursue a variety of multi-wavelength observational and theoretical projects researching black holes. Specifically the Network will focus on the study of black hole accretion flows and jet outflows, and the relationship between these phenomena in black holes from stellar to galactic scales, as well as in neutron stars.

Each PhD position will last 3–4 years, depending on requirements of the individual host institute. Each position will be associated with a particular project based at a particular host institute, that is со-supervised by two other Network hosts, where the student will spend several months per year visiting. Along with annual collaboration meetings, the Network will also organize three international schools on multi-wavelength astronomy techniques and black hole astrophysics, as well as a final international conference entitled "Black Holes in the Galaxy and Beyond". PhD students will also receive training in industry-related skills, career coaching, and participate in the host institute's teaching and outreach activities.

Applicants must have a Masters degree or equivalent in Physics and/or Astronomy, and be able to speak English. Applicants can originate from anywhere in the world, except the country of their chosen host institute, and cannot have resided in the host country for more than 12 months in the previous 3 years. Each position comes with a salary determined by EU scales, including standard social benefits such as maternity/parental leave. All positions are designed to have some flexibility in timing, such as start date or for family needs. Females and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants interested in applying for the second round, commencing Autumn 2009, may already submit a statement of interest.

Interested candidates should submit via email a concise letter of interest, specifying a preference for observational or theoretical projects, as well as an indication of their preferred host institute(s). Candidates should also submit a CV, a list of courses taken, with grades where applicable, a brief description of prior research experience, and the names and email addresses of two people to be contacted for letters of recommendation. Please do not send/email letters of recommendation until requested. Review of applications by responsible scientists of the network is anticipated to begin on 1 July, and continue until the positions are filled, but applications received before 15 July will be given priority.
