PhD Position in Optical Sensors
Institute of Organic Chemistry, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia

A position in developing of new optical sensing molecules is available at the Laboratory of Physical Organic and Computational Chemistry. The investigations are part of the Bulgarian-Swiss Joint Research Project “Tautocrowns” (Wirz-Antonov-Fromm) and the collaboration with the Free University of Amsterdam, University of Roskilde and Humboldt University of Berlin in the field of tautomeric compounds.
New state-of-the-art spectral equipment (UV-Vis-NIR, Fl, IR and NMR) is available. Training and research at the partner universities will be provided as part of the PhD program (up to 6 months in the University of Basel and possibly up to 1 year in the Laser Centre, Free University of Amsterdam). The training and research program is flexible and will be based on the candidate abilities. There are possibilities for spectral studies, synthesis, quantum-chemical calculations and advanced data processing.
We are looking for well motivated person with BSc/MSc degree in Organic /Analytical/Physical/Computational Chemistry, reasonable English (language course is provided) and computer literacy.
Institute of Organic Chemistry is an equal opportunity employer. Female researchers are especially encouraged to apply.

Fellowships Alexander von Humboldt

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

we are approaching you asking for your support in disseminating information on a new fellowship offer by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation is very interested in attracting the scientific elites of the new EU member states as well as of the accession states of the EU to enter research collaborations with Germany. In order to better reach highly qualified researchers of the mentioned countries we are offering two additional funding schemes over the next years:

20 additional two-year-fellowships and

20 additional short-time-fellowships

 for postdocs from the new EU member states

as well as from the accession states of the EU

Recent recipients of Ph.D.s have the possibility to apply for research stays of 13 to 24 months in the context of the two-year-fellowship. The short-term-fellowships offer already established  postdoctoral researchers a flexible form of cooperation for altogether 9 to 18 months over a period of 3 years, divided into up to 3 stays with a duration of 3 to 6 months each. This facilitates continuing a permanent position in the home countries while at the same time maintaining long-term cooperations with partners in Germany.

We would like to ask you to alert potential candidates to the Humboldt research fellowship and to disseminate information to colleagues who have collaborations with these countries. Please note that former Humboldt fellows may not apply. Further information can be found under:

Лятно училище 2006 год.

The Center for Applied Spectroscopy will organize in the year 2006 three Summer schools for the students of the final years of undergraduate studies, as well as postgraduate and doctoral students, not older than 31 years, from the academic institutions from the region of South-Eastern Europe, covering the following areas:

  • Application of GC/MS spectroscopy for environmental samples (one week at the Faculty of Technology in Novi Sad, SCG)
    From 09th – 16th July, 2006.
  • Application of GC and UV-VIS techniques for analysis of food products (one week at the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy in Skopje, R. Macedonia)
    From 27th August – 3rd September, 2006.
  • Application of X-ray, IR and Raman spectroscopy for biological active compounds (one week at the Bulgarian Academy of Science in Sofia, Bulgaria)
    From 3rd – 10th September, 2006.

The working language of the Summer school will be English.

Deadline for on-line application will be 12th of June, 2006.
