The programme also includes first time access for Small and Medium size Enterprises registered in the European Union or an Associated State. Researchers wishing to: • collaborate with distinguished European scientists in the field ofresearch with synchrotron radiation, • perform experiments with synchrotron radiation in physics, chemistry, biology or related fields, • pioneer and exploit new technological applications ofsynchrotron radiation, • and train young scientists in this expanding field are invited to send a briefproject proposal. The 1.7 GeV storage ring BESSY 11 is Europe's most modem 'third generation' highbrightness source for synchrotron radiation in the VUV and x-ray region. Presently HPP projects can be carried out on 19 insertion device and 12 dipole beamlines. By the end of 2001 over 40 beamlines will be available for research and development projects. Experimental chambers and equipment maintained by BESSY are also available. All project proposals are evaluated on the basis ofscientific merit by an independent panel. Approved projects receive access free ofcharge, including on-site infrastructural, logistical, technical and scientific support. Travel and per diem expenses will be reimbursed to citizens/permanent residents ofthe EU or anAssociated State who work in the EU (Germany excluded) or an Associated State.

Uniuersity of Twente Information System location:I http://www.utwente.nl/uacatures/ulc:/ ~+ The Faculty ofApplied Physics invites candidates for an University of Twente The Netherlands Assistant Professorship (Faculty Position) in experimental nanoscale optics We offer a stimulating research environment within the Applied Optics group (van Hulstl, active on nanoscale optical phenomena: near field optics, single molecule detection, photonic structures, PBG materials, biological and chemical applications. The group participates in the multidisciplinary MESA+ Research Institute, which offers extensive facilities for state-of-the-art nanotechnological research. Candidates with academic ambition (both research and education) and a scientific record that suits the group profile can send their reaction (motivation, CV, list of publications, etc.) to the Dean of the Faculty of Applied Physics, Prof.dr. J. de Smit, University of Twente, P.O.Box 217, 7500 AE Enschede, the Netherlands, quoting vacancy number 6021/00/029. For more information please contact Prof.dr. Niek van Hulst, tel. + (31 )534893805/4893172 (e-mail: N.F.vanHulst@tn.utwente.nl). or visit our websites at www.tn.utwente.nl/ot and www.mesaplus.utwente.nl. Endowed Chair Experimental Condensed Matter Physics The Ohio State University The Department of Physics invites applications and nominations for an endowed chair in experimental condensed matter physics. This position was awarded to the Department by the State of Ohio through the Ohio Eminent Scholar Program, in recognition of excellence of the graduate program in this area. The endowment provides for both salary and continuing research support. The Condensed Matter group presently includes nine experimentalists and nine theorists with a tradition of interaction and collaboration. Research interests of the present faculty include semiconductors, superconductors, polymers, magnetism, nonlinear optical properties of solids, turbulence in Auids, phase transitions, and a very wide range of experimental techniques such as optical spectroscopies, NMR, ESR, scanning tunneling microscopies, surface science techniques, thin film growth, electron transport, etc. Experimental and computational support facilities are outstanding, and a new Physics Research Building is entering final design stage. The Ohio State University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. Qualified women, minorities, Vietnam-era veterans, disabled veterans and individuals with disabilites are encouraged to apply. Applications will be accepted until the position is silled. Applicants should send a resume and a description of their research interests to the Department Chair, will Saam at : Department of Physics The Ohio State University 174 W. 18th Avenue Columbus, OH 43210-1106 e-mail: saam@mps.ohio-state.edu or jpelz@mps.ohio-state.edu
