TEDxCERN@(Monash) Broadcast – Multiplying Dimensions
Register now for this free public event at http://tedxcernmonash.eventbrite.com.au.
CERN will be hosting a TEDx event, with the theme ‘Multiplying Dimensions’. Even though the TEDxCERN main stage will be in Geneva, Switzerland, we would like to share these ideas through a broadcast at Monash University on the 10th of May, hosted at CERN by Nobel Prize winner George Smoot.
TEDxCERN has an impressive list of speakers. The full programme and information about the speakers, TEDx and CERN can be found here: http://tedxcern.web.cern.ch.
Three sessions will take place consisting of remarkable speakers from a broad range of scientific disciplines, aiming their talks for a general public audience. We invite you to register for all 1, 2 or all 3 sessions! Session times are as follows:
Session 1: 1:45pm - 3:30pm
Session 2: 4:00pm - 5:45pm
Session 3: 6:15pm - 8:00pm
Join us for 1, 2 or all 3 sessions! Sessions will take place in Rotunda Lecture Theatre R5, Monash University Clayton Campus (building 8, http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/maps/3-Claytoncolour.pdf)
You are also invited to stay after the talks to discuss the innovative and inspiring ideas presented. Light refreshments will be provided.

New Postdoctoral Position in Experimental Particle Physics - University of Sydney
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Experimental Particle Physics
School of Physics
Job Reference Number: 443/0213
About half of the CoEPP’s researchers are experimentalists working within the ATLAS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, and the other half theorists. As part of this national initiative to fully exploit the opportunities provided by the LHC, we seek a post-doctoral research associate in experimental particle physics to work on aspects of the CoEPP programme within ATLAS. This will include taking part in physics analysis consistent with the aims and activities of the CoEPP, taking shifts when ATLAS is operating and contributing to other collaboration responsibilities.
The position is available immediately and is full-time fixed term for two years, subject to the completion of a satisfactory confirmation period for new appointees. There is some possibility of a further offer of employment up to one additional year, subject to funding and need. Membership of a University approved superannuation scheme is a condition of employment for new appointees.
Closing date: 14 April 2013 (11:30pm Australian Eastern Standard Time)

Prof Brian Schmidt (CAASTRO)
New Lecturer Position in Experimental Particle Physics- The University of Melbourne
Lecturer in Experimental Particle Physics - University of Melbourne
School of Physics
Job Reference Number: 0030533
The School of Physics is seeking to expand its Experimental Particle Physics Research Group, initially as part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Particle Physics at the Terascale (CoEPP).
You will be expected to lead a vigorous externally funded research program in the areas of in experimental particle physics at the Large Hadron Collider. Preference will be given to applicants with research experience in collider physics. You should have a commitment to teaching and will teach within the School of Physics undergraduate and Masters in Science (MSc) programs. You will also supervise research students at undergraduate, MSc and MPhil/PhD levels. The University of Melbourne provides a wide range of opportunities for exciting research collaborations, and you will be encouraged to develop collaborative links within the School as well as externally, in line with the strategic direction of the School of Physics. Undertaking administrative tasks for the Department will also be an expectation.
Closing date: 31 March 2013 (11:55pm Australian Eastern Standard Time)

20th Australian Institute of Physics Congress
The AIP Congress is the biggest and most diverse scientific meeting of the Australian physics calendar in 2012. It attracts many of Australia’s finest physicists plus a number of prominent overseas attendees. It provides a forum for discussions within specialist physics topic areas and opportunities for physicists from academia, government, industry and the commercial sector to keep up to date in areas outside their core interests. The Congress brings together approximately 20 special interest groups and, as was achieved in 2010, the incorporation of ACOFT(Australian Conference on Optical Fibre Technology) will attract specialists working on diverse research applications of optical fibre technology.
The four day program includes plenary lectures, parallel sessions, poster sessions, an exhibition, public lecture and industry forum. A detailed program can be found at http://www.aip2012.org.au/program/ Talks by CoEPP staff take place on Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th December.
Master of the Universe – Research Tuesday at University of Adelaide
