Applicants must have a PhD (or a fixed date of defence) in experimental particle Physics and demonstrate
the ability to work in a research environment, prepare research results for publication and for presentation
at scientific meetings. Experience in C++ programming, in particular with ROOT and Geant4, is required.
Interested candidates should contact Dr Frederic Yermia and Dr. Muriel Fallot for more information
about the position. The candidate should send a CV, a brief description of research experience and
interests, a list of publications, and three letters of recommendation.
Postdoctoral opening at LAPP to work on the WA105 Liquid Argon TPC experiment, and on long baseline and underground neutrino physics. This position is opened in the framework of the ENIGMASS Labex. The fellowship is awarded for an initial period of two years with the possibility of a third year extension.
Alicia Rivera (El Pais), interviews Fabiola Gianotti, future Director General at CERN, on her professional career, the discovery of the Higgs boson, gender balance in Science and her musical expertise as a pianist.
The 19th annual International Conference on Particle Physics and Cosmology (COSMO-15) will be held in Warsaw, Poland.
Starting as a workshop in Ambleside in 1997, annual COSMO meetings rapidly became a major venue of interaction of theorists working at an interface of particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Topics to be discussed include:
The ν-Dark 2015 international workshop will be held in Garching, Germany, from December 7 (morning) to December 9 (afternoon) 2015, at the Institute for Advanced Study of the Technical University of Munich. This workshop is devoted to review the evidence for and against - keV scale - neutrino as a possible warm/cold Dark Matter candidate. At the crossroad of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology, the observational constraints, the production mechanisms in the early Universe, and the experimental perspectives will be discussed.

Alicia Rivera reports on Invisibles15, particularly outlining synergies between Science and Art. Exploring those connections is the aim of the outreach sessions organised in collaboration with the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum.
• The two outreach sessions with presentations by science and art experts and round tables, open to the public (the first one took place yesterday; second one tomorrow Friday): http://www.educathyssen.org/arte_ciencia
Opening at the RWTH Aachen University: Junior-professor (W1 in the German system) in Theoretical Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology. This is a tenure track position, which after a successful evaluation will be upgraded to the full professor (W2 in the German system). All detail concerning this opening can be found in the attached file. The deadline for applications is June 30th 2015.
Indirect searches for dark matter through γ-rays are among the most promising ways to unravel the nature of this mysterious component of the Universe. Here we discuss a recent analysis performed by the Fermi-LAT collaboration focused on observations of dwarf galaxies.
This workshop will concentrate on neutrino theory/phenomenology. The idea is to have a (limited) number of ~20-30 min talks, leaving plenty of time for discussion sessions in between talks. We would like to invite you to come to Fermilab and participate in the workshop. In the coming decades, Fermilab will play a central role in the field of neutrino physics worldwide. Its short- and long-baseline neutrino program will provide an excellent benchmark to study neutrino interactions and oscillations, as well as to test for new physics in the neutrino sector.
