International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste (Italy) announces 5 PhD scholarships in Statistical Physics.
The PhD will start in October 2019. Applications can be presented from 15 February onwards and candidates will be selected shortly after the deadline of 15 March. In case of vacancies, 31 August is the deadline for a second independent selection.
The Advancing Theoretical Astrophysics Summer School is a two week long, international summer school intended to build and strengthen essential skills in physics and computation for a career in theoretical astrophysics.
The school will be held at the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) from 15 to 26 July 2019.
The target groups for this school are graduate students pursuing a degree in astrophysics, with a BSc degree in physics or astrophysics. The school will be a mix of short topical lectures and interactive problem solving, using methods that can be applied to a wide range of topics. Students will work collaboratively on several types of canonical problems (with guidance from teachers and more advanced students), gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge techniques employed in modern theoretical astrophysics.
Deadline for the application is 15 January 2019. More information about the school is available here.

Prof. Dr. Marija Dimitrijevic Ciric and Nikola Konjik (Faculty of Physics, University of Belgrade, Serbia) visited Rudjer Boskovic Institute (Zagreb, Croatia) from Sunday, 26 August to Saturday, 1 September.
This visit was continuation of joint research with Dr. Andjelo Samsarov and Danijel Pikutic on effects of noncommutativity (NC) on quasi-normal mode spectrum of black holes. During their stay they worked on more precise numerical methods like continued fraction method and also to investigate the NC spinor part of the QNM spectrum in the RN black hole backgroud.
This visit is organized in the framework of the SEENET-MTP – ICTP Program NT-03 “Cosmology – Classical and Quantum Challenges”.
At the recently held Council of the Balkan Physical Union (BPU) at the Jubilee 10th International Physics Conference – “Balkan Congress” of the BPU, held in Sofia, Bulgarian (26-30 August 2018), two leaders of the Southeastern European Network in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics (SEENET-MTP) Network were honored by election to the highest positions in the Balkan Physical Union.
Prof. Goran Djordjevic (University of Nis), Executive Director of the SEENET-MTP Network was elected for the post of the President of the BPU.
Prof. Radu Constantinesu (University of Craiova), member of the Representative Committee and former president of the SEENET-MTP Network Council was elected for the Vice-president of the BPU.
The International School of Advanced Studies (SISSA) is one of the leading scientific institutions in Italy for postgraduate training in Physics, Mathematics, and Neuroscience. Unlike most universities, SISSA is fully devoted to PhD training, and hence the set of courses the students are offered during their first year is particularly wide, advanced, and intense. In particular our students devote the entire first year of their Ph.D. in attending a wide set of selected courses.
Starting from the academic year 2017-2018, the group of Theoretical Particle Physics (TPP) has planned to host for a given amount of time, ranging from a three-months term to the entire academic year (three terms), a number of selected Ph.D. students from other institutions, and give them the possibility to attend our course program.
The program is open to students at any stage of their PhD and not only to beginners.
The list of courses offered for the academic year 2018-2019 can be found here. In addition to these courses, more specialised ones, typically addressed to advanced students and post-docs, are also offered.
After this period, students are expected to go back to their home institutions and continue their Ph.D. research project with their own supervisors. Partial financial support of approximately 500 euros/month towards living expenses is provided. Details on how to apply can be found here.
