years by RCUK, and carry the guarantee of open-ended academic 
positions thereafter, subject to successful completion of standard 
academic probation.  Details and other relevant information can be 
found at http://www.le.ac.uk/personnel/jobs/a&r.html (see Ref 
R2985).  Note that the closing date is October 20, not October 6 
currently quoted on the web site.  A detailed description of the 
fellowships at can be found at:

3) Postdoc on electrical conductivities at National Observatory of Athens, Greece
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: George Balasis (gbalasis en space.noa.gr)

The Institute for Space Applications and Remote Sensing, National 
Observatory of Athens, invites applications for a postdoctoral 
researcher to carry out research in electromagnetic geophysics and space 
weather physics at ISARS. You will develop electrical conductivity 
models of the Earth's crust and mantle using satellite and ground 
observatory magnetic data and study the Geomagnetically Induced Currents 
(GICs) at low-latitude locations.

You should have a PhD in geophysics or space physics. Experience of 
electromagnetic methods is desirable, although well qualified candidates 
with expertise in other areas of geophysics or space physics will be 
considered.

Funding is available at least for 14 months. Salary will be at the range 
of 2,500 Euros per month. The position should be filled by December 31, 
2006. Starting date is negotiable, but may be as late as March 1, 2007.

4) Meteoroids 2007, June 11-15, Barcelona, Spain - abstracts due 12 Jan 2007
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  This conference will accommodate a broad range of meteoroid
research: orbital dynamics, sources and distribution of these
bodies, the physics and chemistry of their interaction process with
the atmosphere as well as their origin and link with minor bodies:
asteroids and comets. Due to the exciting new results of
interplanetary missions to study asteroids and comets, special
sessions will be devoted to these bodies with emphasis on meteoroid
origin and chemical composition.

  Those researchers planning to attend this meeting are kindly
invited to send us "notice of intend" by filling out the electronic
form (pre-registration) available in the homepage:
http://www.spmn.uji.es/meteoroids-2007/registration.htm

  Please take into account that pre-registration should be made
with submission of an abstract. You can do this on-line by using
the form available at:
http://www.spmn.uji.es/meteoroids-2007/abstracts.html

  Oral and poster contributions are welcomed along the themes and
sessions outlined in the preliminary program:
http://www.spmn.uji.es/meteoroids-2007/sessions.html

  Finally, we are glad to announce that all contributions to this
meeting will be published as a special issue of the journal "Earth,
Moon and Planets". The papers will be also compiled in a
proceedings' book by Springer, free for the meeting participants.
  We hope to see you in Barcelona,

5) Sun-Earth Connection Virtual Conference Series, 13-17 Nov 2006 Part 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Janet Kozyra (jukozyra en umich.edu)

ANNOUNCEMENT:   
SUN-EARTH CONNECTION VIRTUAL CONFERENCE SERIES, SESSION 1 (13-17 Nov 2006)
URL: http://workshops.jhuapl.edu/s1/index.html

GRAND CHALLENGE SCIENCE FOCUS:  Explore the state of the sun-Earth system
during extreme space weather. "Return to the Auroral Oval for the 50th 
Anniversary of the International Geophysical Year".                         

SPONSORS: CAWSES, IHY, eGY, ICESTAR, NASA/LWS, NSF, and the SEE organizers

WHAT'S NEW:  The IMAGE spacecraft observed the development of a large-scale
auroral spiral on the dawnside of the auroral oval and a long-duration 
finger-like structure on the duskside in the southern hemisphere during 
intense substorms in the main phase of severe magnetic storms on 15 May 
and 24 August 2005. The unusual features, reported here, are absent during 
substorms occurring at other phases of the storms, which do not show any 
dramatic activity in the dawn to noon sector.   To our knowledge, neither 
of these structures has been previously reported as a feature of auroral 
substorms. Similar structures have now been found on the dawnside during 
substorms in the main phases of 4 other superstorms in 2003-2004 (29-30 
Oct 2003, 20 Nov 2003, 07-08 Nov 2004 and 09-10 Nov 2004)

IMPLICATIONS:  Since large-scale auroral emissions generally mirror the 
structure and movement of source regions in geospace, these unusual 
auroral structures may imply new features during extreme space weather 
conditions in: (1) the magnetospheric configuration, (2) solar wind-
magnetosphere coupling, (3) storm-substorm coupling, and/or (4) stormtime 
energy dissipation mechanisms.  They raise question about the aspects of 
the solar sources and heliospheric propagation capable of driving such 
extreme conditions, in particular aspects introduced by the interaction 
between active regions and coronal holes.  They also motivate a search 
for associated features throughout geospace and in the ionosphere-
atmosphere from pole to equator.  Join us in a worldwide effort to 
combine observations and identify sun-to-Earth science focus areas.

SCHEDULE:
Nov 13-17, 2006, PART 1:  International Data Exchange and Sun-to-Earth 
Science Issues.  
JOINT SESSIONS WITH:  CAWSES International Workshop on Space Weather 
Modeling (CSWM), Yokohama, Japan (http://www.es.jamstec.go.jp/cswm).
Mid 2007, PART 2: Theory, Modeling and Simulations of Extreme Space 
Weather

WORKSHOP URL: http://workshops.jhuapl.edu/s1/index.html. Contains basic 
information on the events for the conference along with an incomplete 
list of associated Sun-Earth system science questions.  Describes the 
features of the online conference.  Please check back frequently for 
updates.  REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW

4 WAYS TO PARTICIPATE:  (1) join a worldwide effort to construct the 
most complete picture possible of the sun-to-Earth system by submitting 
an online presentations of satellite or ground-based observations during 
the focus events, (2) contribute global data products, data sets, virtual 
observatory links, etc. for the information commons, (3) view 
presentations; contribute to online discussions about key sun-to-earth 
issues, and about possible modeling efforts; establish collaborations for 
follow-on theoretical and modeling studies; enhance graduate student 
access to international and interdisciplinary  collaborations (4) help to
test and improve features of online conference software to develop a new 
option for scientific communication as part of the International 
Heliophysical Year.
