Valerio has been awarded a 1.4 Meuro Starting Investigator Grant by the European Research Council for the project Thermodynamics of the Climate System - NAMASTE.
NAMASTE will kick-off on September 1 2010 and will last for 5 years. It is going to be a huge opportunity for scientific advances on themes ranging from climate dynamics to non-equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. NAMASTE will host events of scientific dissemination and training, such as workshops, summer schools, conferences, and will fund several new positions at post-doctoral level. Collaborations are welcome and encouraged.
Link to some basic info on NAMASTE (a dedicated page is to come soon).
The project NAMASTE is currently funding two positions at post-doctoral level. Deadline for applications is September 3 2010. Please apply through the online system of the University of Reading. Feel free to contact me for informal enquiries. Regular Mail: Email:
