 From Fabiano Rodrigues (Fabiano at utdallas.edu).

The post subject of this message is open for applications at the University of 
Nottingham website. Please pass this over to anyone who you think might be 
interested.

The successful candidate will join the Nottingham Geospatial Institute (NGI) to 
work on the new and exciting CALIBRA (Countering GNSS high Accuracy applications 
Limitations due to Ionospheric disturbances in BRAzil) project, funded by the 
GSA (European GNSS Agency) through the 7th Framework Program, FP7. The project 
involves Brazilian and European partners, including the Belgian GNSS receiver 
manufacturer Septentrio Satellite Navigation. The selected candidate will 
develop algorithms to be applied to the highly precise GNSS carrier phase 
observables, which will be implemented in Septentrio’s GNSS receivers in order 
to counter these adverse ionospheric effects. The research will be based on 
experimental evidence and this will be possible due to the use of data collected 
in Brazil through project partner UNESP (Sao Paulo State University).

(2) Chapman Conference on Solar Minimum, 7-12 April 2013, Key Largo, Florida -

 From Stan Solomon (stans at ucar.edu).

The Chapman Conference on the Causes and Consequences of the Extended Solar 
Minimum between solar cycles 23 and 24 (4CESM) has been scheduled for 7-12 
April, 2013, at the Hilton Key Largo Resort, Key Largo, Florida.

The recent solar minimum between solar cycles 23 and 24, during 2008-2009, was 
unusually long and complex, resulting in many observed effects indicating 
unusual conditions on the Sun, in the heliosphere, and in the magnetosphere, 
ionosphere, and upper atmosphere of the Earth. This remarkable set of conditions 
provides the scientific community with an exceptional opportunity to assess the 
nature and structure of a very quiet Sun and the effects throughout the heliosphere.

The goal of the conference is to bring together the solar, heliospheric, 
magnetospheric, ionospheric, and upper atmosphere communities to discuss 
interdisciplinary work, and to reach a better understanding of the nature and 
structure of the recent solar minimum.  Scientists with interests in solar and 
heliospheric physics, solar interior, solar wind, space climate, space weather, 
magnetosphere, ionosphere, upper atmosphere, and climate, are encouraged to attend.

Key dates:

*8 October 2012:  Abstract submission and travel grant application opens
*8 January 2013:  Abstract submission and travel grant application closes
*13 March 2013:  Registration and housing deadline
*7 April 2012:  Conference begins
*12 April 2012:  Conference ends
