The positions are available for an initial period of two years, starting between October 1st, 2010 and March 1st, 2011. A third year will be granted after an evaluation of the progress made in the first two years.
The programme is entitled ‘Morphological variability of organisms under environmental stress’ and bridges between disciplines and across spatial and temporal scales. The overarching question deals with the evolution and ecological consequences of morphological variability under environmental stress, with special emphasis on the symmetry of organisms. The project includes also a coordinated teaching programme. The focus of the five subprojects is as follows: 1) Morphological variability and symmetry of foraminiferal shells in response to rapid environmental change

Job Description: The objectives of the Fellowship Program are: - to train promising young physicians and scientists from developing and middle income countries for clinical and research positions in infectious diseases,
- to foster partnerships between Fellows and infectious disease leaders in Switzerland, and
- to increase scientific research capacity in low income/high disease burden countries.
Opportunities for training and research in a variety of areas ranging from basic studies of the mechanism of disease to studies in public health, epidemiology, diagnostics, therapeutics or vaccine development, are available through this program. The term of the Fellowship is for one year. The start date of the will be determined by arrangement between the host institution and the Fellow. A financial stipend of up to 36,000 SF per year (approximately $35,500 USD) will be given to Fellows to cover travel costs and living expenses. The program intends to award two fellowships every year Eligibility : The program is open to applicants who are citizens or permanent residents of developing countries or Eastern Europe. Applicants should have a M.D. or a Ph.D in a relevant field and should hold a position at a medical, research, or public health institution. An endorsement by the home institution is required for participation in the program. Applications will be reviewed by a joint SSI and ISID committee. Selection will be based on the applicant's academic potential, career plans, previous clinical/research experience, letters of reference, and relevance of training to home institution and home country. Personal interviews will be arranged with selected applicants as the final step in the application process. The annual application deadline for Fellowship applications is 1 April 2011. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by 1 July.

The goal is to support and foster the professional development of young individuals in the field of infectious diseases research by helping them to acquire additional skills and data to apply for other grants. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to investigations of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis or treatment of infectious diseases, the epidemiology and control of hospital-acquired infections, and modeling of cost effective interventions.
Proposals will be reviewed by members of the Professional Development Working Group and decisions made in collaboration with the President and the Program Director. Upon completion of the project, a written report of the project must be sent to the Society. The Society encourages recipients of grants to present their results at scientific meetings and to submit them for publication in peer-reviewed journals. Deadlines Up to five grants of up to US $6,000 each will be awarded annually. Deadlines for submission of proposals October 1 2010(notification after December 1).

The main's goal project is a development of a new media for hydrogen storage and the research associated will have an important experimental side. The first part of the work consists of the synthesis and the characterization of the materials and the second part concerns the study of the hydrogen adsorption capacity of the synthetized porous solids. The measurements of the adsorption properties will be performed at low pressures using volumetric methods and at high pressures using thermogravimetric technique (magnetic suspension microbalance). Candidates must have a Ph.D in physical chemistry, physics or chemical engineering. Knowledge of phase equilibria thermodynamics is required and good notions in adsorption and computing (such as Linux OS, C or Fortran programming) will be very appreciated. The candidate must have a good experience of experimental work, especially with high pressure gases and preferably on hydrogen. He (she) must be autonome, fast and have very good skills in written and spoken English. He (she) should also be able of collaborating with other young researchers and students. Location : Ecole Nationale Sup´erieure de Techniques Avanc´ees, Unit´e Chi-mie et Proc´ed´es, 32 Boulevard Victor, 75739 Paris, France. The ENSTA ParisTech engineering school occupies a privileged place in the French educational system, and is part of the small core of most famous engineering schools of France. Duration : This is a one-year contract, renewable for a total period of two years. Salary : 2000 euros per month (taxes removed) Contact : Send a detailed CV of several pages, with a description of the research topics, publi-cations, conferences, several references, and a cover letter to : Dr Johnny Deschamps,
