ESMT European School of Management and Technology has continued the development of its MBA scholarship program for 2010-11. The MBA program at ESMT is built on both faculty and peer-to-peer learning, and the school is committed to diversity in the classroom. “The current Full-time MBA class at ESMT is made up of participants from 21 countries,” said Nick Barniville, Director of MBA Programs. “Our aim is to further increase this diversity.” The majority of all ESMT scholarships are now clustered according to region. Financial support is being offered in the form of merit-based partial scholarships to applicants from the Americas, Central and Eastern Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Two full scholarships for women will also be provided this year (value 38,000 EUR each). “We already have 35%women in the MBA class, and we are committed to doing everything we can to further increase this figure,” adds Barniville.

The school is also introducing an Academic Excellence Scholarship, giving financial support to an exceptional applicant with a GMAT score of over 700. In addition, applicants for the Full-time MBA have the opportunity of applying for the ESMT Corporate Fellowship Program. The program combines a full scholarship with attractive internship opportunities and mentoring at one of ESMT’s founding companies after graduation.

Tuition and fees for self-sponsored participants of the Full-time MBA program are 38,000 EUR. This includes 9,000 EUR for learning materials, office supplies, food and drinks on campus on weekdays while the program is running, and the international field seminar.

This year, for the first time, some scholarship funding will also be made available to self-financing participants on the school’s Executive MBA program beginning October 2010, which carries a tuition fee of 57,500 EUR.

Application deadlines are mid-November 2010 (for full-time MBA beginning January 2011) and August 2010 (for Executive MBA beginning October 2010).

* Theoretical particle physics
* Photon science
* Accelerator physics

Fellows in experimental particle physics are invited to participate in DESY’s particle physics research: The HERA experiments H1, ZEUS, HERMES, the AMANDA/IceCube experiment at the south pole and the preparations for experimentation at the future International Linear Collider ILC and R&D in particle detectors (FLC group).

Fellows in experimental particle physics are invited to participate in DESY’s particle physics research: the HERA experiments H1, ZEUS, and HERMES; the LHC experiments ATLAS and CMS at CERN; the AMANDA/IceCube experiment at the south pole; and the preparations for experimentation at the future International Linear Collider ILC and R&D in particle detectors (FLC group).

Qualified fellows in theoretical particle physics are invited to participate in theoretical particle physics research within the DESY theory groups. At DESY in Hamburg, active areas of research include HERA physics and QCD, B physics, collider physics, neutrino physics and cosmology, unified theories, string theory and mathematical physics. At DESY in Zeuthen, the theoretical research includes lattice gauge theory, perturbative quantum field theory and physics at HERA, LHC and the projected ILC.

Fellows in photon science are invited to participate in DESY’s research at the HASYLAB, which uses the storage rings DORIS and PETRA and the free electron laser FLASH.

Fellows in accelerator physics will contribute to the development, construction and operation of accelerator facilities (HERA, DORIS, FLASH, PETRA III, XFEL, ILC, PITZ).

Individuals who have recently completed their PhD and who are younger than 32 years are invited to apply.

Handicapped persons will be given preference to other equally qualified applicants. DESY supports the careers of women and therefore encourages especially women to apply.

The Max-Planck-Institute for Physics invites applications for a

Postdoctoral position

to participate in a new effort on proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration.

The concept of proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration has recently been proposed as a means of accelerating a bunch of electrons to high energies with very high gradients. Initial calculations are promising, as shown in Nature Physics 5, 363 – 367 (2009), and a demonstration experiment is now under consideration. The successful candidate would help in producing a proposal for such an experimental demonstration. The focus of the work would be on developing characterization techniques for the plasma wakefields and for the drive and witness bunches. An experimental technique under consideration to extract time and space resolved information on electric fields is single-shot electro-optical sampling.

Formal requirement for this position is a PhD in experimental particle, plasma or accelerator physics. Previous experience in plasma wakefield experiments, terahertz physics and/or nonlinear optics are an advantage.

Salary and benefits are commensurate with public service organization (TVöD) rules. The contract is initially limited to 2 years with the possibility of an extension. The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer. The goal is to enhance the percentage of women where they are underrepresented. Women, therefore, are especially encouraged to apply. The MPG is committed to employing more handicapped people. Applications of handicapped people are particularly welcome.

Interested applicants should submit an application letter, a statement of research interests, a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and arrange for three letters of support to be sent to
