'Tis the Season...
by Emma Holmes 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Dear all, Hope you're looking forward to the Christmas Party! The festivities will begin on Thursday at 7:15 pm. The bar will be open and your first drink is on the house! We'll also be giving out raffle tickets for a free prize draw! We'll sit down for dinner around 8-8:15pm. I've attached your menu choices to this email. Be sure to remind yourself of what you ordered as you'll be expected to remember when the food is brought around. After dinner, there will be a disco at the hotel until midnight. If you're unsure of where the Churchill Hotel is, here's the link on Google Maps: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=the+churchill+york <https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=the+churchill+york&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.m ozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl> &oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8 &hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl The hotel mentioned that taxi companies are often busy around this time of year. Therefore, they advise that if you know what time you will be leaving, it's a good idea to book a taxi in advance. All you need to bring is money for extra drinks/a taxi home (optional), yourself, and lots of festive cheer! Christmas wishes, Emma On behalf of the ECR _________________________________________________ Emma Holmes PhD Student Room B001b, Department of Psychology University of York, Heslington, York YO10 5DD, United Kingdom.

Postdoc opportunity
by Gary Green 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Society in Science – The Branco Weiss Fellowship is a unique postdoctoral programme. It provides young researchers around the world with a generous personal research grant, giving them the freedom to work on whatever topic they choose anywhere in the world, for a maximum duration of five years. This research fellowship is designed to support postdoctoral researchers after their PhD and before their first faculty appointment. Those in current postdoctoral positions are also eligible. It is expected that fellows pursue unconventional projects in new areas of science, engineering and social science fields involving societal aspects. The Society in Science fellowship program was initiated and financed by the Swiss entrepreneur Dr. Branco Weiss, who passed away in October 2010. The program belongs to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH). Candidates that present an unusual research project that departs from the mainstream and that have a remarkable track record will be short-listed and could emerge from the annual selection process with an award for the prestigious grant. Simply apply with a groundbreaking research idea to secure financial support for up to five years, working at an academic institution of your choice anywhere in the world. http://www.society-in-science.org/ closing date 01-02-2013 --------------- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg tel.
