Subject: Postdoc and PhD grants at CAUP
To:

Dear all,

the Portuguese Research Council (FCT) has announced its annual call for
Postdoc and PhD grants. Candidates apply directly to FCT but need the
endorsement of a resarch unit in Portugal.

CAUP is the leading Astrophysics research unit in Portugal, and the only
one given full marks ( 'Excellent', internationally competitive) by an
international evaluation panel appointed by FCT. We are willing to support
candidates in our areas of interest, but will carry out a pre-screening
of potential applicants. The galaxies & observational cosmology team will
preferentially support candidates that can contribute to our participation
in Euclid.

The call for postdoc grants (3 years, possibly renewable for a further 3)
is at http://www.astro.up.pt/caup/index.php?WID=141&CID=1&ID=80&Lang=uk
and is open to candidates of any nationality.

For PhD grants (4 years) there are two options. There is a direct call for
candidates with official residence in Portugal for a minimum of one year,
at http://www.astro.up.pt/caup/index.php?WID=141&CID=1&ID=81&Lang=uk
Candidates of any nationality can apply through the IDPASC initiative,
which includes several thesis proposals from CAUP researchers, listed at
http://www.idpasc.lip.pt/LIP/thesis/index.php?opt=2

Please bring this to the attention of those who may be interested. I'm
happy to answer any informal questions on scientific or admin issues.

Many thanks,
Carlos Martins
(Head of the CAUP Training Unit)
