Dear colleague,
To promote the participation of women in Liberal Arts and Natural
Sciences the University of Groningen offers a prestigious fellowship
programme, named after Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray studies of DNA
were crucial to solving its structure. Five tenure track assistant
professorships are available in the Faculty of Mathematics
and Natural Sciences. The positions will be awarded to outstanding
women scientists from any of the disciplines mathematics, physics,
astronomy, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, environmental studies,
computing science and artificial intelligence.
For further information see below and

European Research Council (ERC) has opend first calls for
The Advanced Grants funding scheme complements the ERC Starting Grant scheme by targeting researchers who have already established themselves as being independent research leaders in their own right. ERC Advanced Grants allow exceptional established research leaders in science, engineering and scholarship to pursue frontier research of their choice.
It aims to encourage risk-taking and interdisciplinarity, and supports pioneering frontier research projects.
Principal Investigators (PIs) applying for the ERC Advanced Grant must be established research leaders who have made exceptional contributions to research in terms of originality and significance. They must be active researchers with an outstanding track record of significant research achievements in the last 10 years.
More information on http://erc.europa.eu/
The new international Master Programme “MathMods - Mathematical Modelling in Engineering: Theory, Numerics, Applications” (see the promoting poster mathmods_europe.pdf), has recently been approved for funding by the European Union through the Erasmus Mundus programme. So, starting from 2008/09 non-European students may receive grants (42,000 euro for the two years duration) from the EU to attend the course. 19 grants were received for the a.y. 2008/09.
The European partner universities hosting the MSc courses of MathMods belong to the cities of L’Aquila (Italy), Nice (France), Barcelona (Catalonia/Spain), Hamburg (Germany) and Gdansk (Poland).
The next application deadline is 31 January 2008.
A number of postdoc positions are available at the University of Copenhagen.

JOBS IN ABERDEEN
The College of Physical sciences at the University of Aberdeen has now formally advertised the recruitment drive I wrote to the list about a few weeks ago. An advertisement had been placed with the Times Higher Education Supplement (http://www.thesjobs.co.uk/rs6/cl.asp?action=view_ad&ad_id=41457), and a related initiative now appears on the University website on behalf of the College of Physical Sciences http://www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs/newblood.shtml.
This initiative is quite unique in its nature. Applications are invited without a specified closing date. The competition is open across all science disciplines, but we hope to be able to make several appointments in mathematics under this scheme. Appointment can be made at all levels from lecturer to professor. The scheme includes a reduced teaching load for the first 5 years. Currently normal teaching load in the department is two courses per year on average.
Mathematicians who are interested in applying for a position in Aberdeen are asked to send a covering letter and their CV to Human Resources, King’s College, Aberdeen AB24 3FX or by email:
humanresources@abdn.ac.uk. Please specify in your letter that you are applying in response to the “College of Physical Sciences ‘New Blood’
Lectureship” advert. At the same time applicants are encouraged to email their CV to Michael Weiss at m.weiss@maths.abdn.ac.uk, along with a covering letter expressing their interest in a position. Please include the names of three mathematicians who have agreed to write a letter of recommendation on your behalf. You do not need to ask your referees to send their letter to us at this stage.
We emphasize that appointments may be made at all levels, not only at the Lectureship level.
Review of applications by the department will start immediately with the first interviews expected as early as January. We will be happy to answer any informal questions people may have.
Best wishes,
Michael Weiss
Head of Mathematical Sciences

The University of Aberdeen is about to announce a large scale recruitment drive. The purpose is to enhance the University’s research profile across all disciplines. The intention is to recruit at all levels on a competitive basis across all academic departments.
Candidates will be evaluated by their qualifications and promise, but the emphasis may be on the Lecturer/Senior Lecturer level. This initiative may result in a number of appointments for Mathematics.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences in Aberdeen has a thriving research group, with particular strength in Algebraic Geometry, Representation Theory, Topology (Algebraic and Low Dimensional), and Mathematical Physics. We will consider applications from all areas of mathematics, but preference may be given to subjects where the department already has a considerable strength.
This is not a formal advertisement, but mathematicians who may wish to be considered for a job in Aberdeen are invited to send an informal inquiry to Prof. Michael Weiss at m.weiss@maths.abdn.ac.uk.
Further information will appear shortly on the University web site http://www.abdn.ac.uk/idx.php.
