August 28, 2014: Meeting on 'Geophysical & Astrophysical Flows and Dynamos' (CAJ65), Newcastle, UK

Posted by on 27 May 2014 Comments Off on August 28, 2014: Meeting on 'Geophysical & Astrophysical Flows and Dynamos' (CAJ65), Newcastle, UK

Dear colleagues,

We’d like to announce a meeting on ‘Geophysical & Astrophysical Flows and Dynamos’, to take place on August 28-29 2014, at Newcastle University, UK. This meeting will discuss the latest results on the modelling of geophysical and astrophysical flows, and the magnetic fields they generate via dynamo action. It will also celebrate the 65th birthday of Professor Chris Jones, and his many contributions to these topics.

The meeting website, with additional information, is at:
http://www.mas.ncl.ac.uk/caj65/ .

There is a meeting fee to cover the costs of refreshments, lunches and the meeting dinner. Early-bird registration (until July 31, 2014) is
£50.00 (or £25.00 for students). Late registration (from August 1 until August 22, 2014) is £75.00 (or £50.00 for students).

Registration is now open, via the Registration page of the link above.

Thanks to the generosity of Newcastle and Leeds Universities, we have some limited funds to support attendance at this meeting; to apply for this support, please contact us (at caj65(at)ncl.ac.uk) by the deadline of June 15, 2014.

Best wishes,
Steve Tobias and Graeme Sarson

Open Position at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory

Posted by on 24 April 2014 Comments Off on Open Position at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory seeks to fill an associate research physicist position at Laboratory Astrophysics Division in Plasma Science & Technology Department. Under supervisions by senior personnel, the researcher will perform campaigns in liquid metal Magnetorotational Instability experiment to investigate mechanisms for fast angular momentum transport, and also the nonlinear physics of Rossby waves and zonal flow system. Candidates must have an extensive background in experimental physics, preferably fluid dynamics, liquid metal MHD and plasma physics. The major responsibilities include handling liquid gallium in laboratory, designing and implementing diagnostics, performing experiments, analyzing data, interpreting, presenting and publishing results jointly with other researchers. Coordinating activity with other technical, engineering and administrative personnel is also essential. Development of new ideas should help grow the area of laboratory plasma astrophysics at PPPL in the long term. Applicant should have a Ph.D. in plasma physics or related physics, with preference given to applicants with experience in fluid dynamics, liquid metal MHD and its diagnostics, data acquisition, data processing, and applications to astrophysics and geophysics.
