Jobs in Julich
There is an interesting article in Nature - 15 April issue,
page 550. One of Germany's national research centres, the
Research Centre Julich, has recently advertised tenure-track
positions exclusively for women. The programme for female
scientists offers three positions per year for the next three
years, and asks explicitly for women who do not necessarily
wish to abandon the idea of having a family.
The Julich believe they have found a loophole in the
legislation forbidding sex discrimination in job advertising,
because a court has said that employers can take steps to
promote the "realization of equality of opportunity".
The article gives a wide-ranging discussion of the problems
of careers in science for women in Germany, and is worth a
look.
Note from a Julich employee
Dear everyone,
You can find the advertisement below. The Program Guidelines including Application
Requirements and Application Procedure can be found via our home page
http://www.fz-juelich.de
via "Jobs";
Also available from our home page via "Research" or "At a Glance" are more
details on our current research activities. If you find something there
that suits you, it is best practise (though not formally required at that
point) to get in touch with the corresponding institute director and
discuss your research plans with him.
Feel free to contact me, if you need further help

Research Centre Jülich
In order to exploit the entire scientific potential for research and
innovation, we seriously promote the opportunities of women. For this
purpose, we have established a
Tenure-Track Programme for Female Scientists
according to the American model. The aim is to prepare specifically
qualified young female scientists for leading positions in the science
sector.
Are you a highly motivated and committed young
female scientist with a PhD in a scientific or technical subject and with
further research experience (approx. 3 years) - preferably also
abroad - and would you now like to qualify for a future position as a
professor or head of a research institute without abandoning the idea of
having a family?
You are expected to contribute to our research and
development programme owing to your excellent scientific qualification. Team
ability and sociability, experience in independent scientific work and in
the presentation of research results are indispensable as is the ability of
instructing coworkers and junior staff (diploma and doctoral students) in a
team.
We offer you family-oriented working conditions,
opportunities for further qualification, an excellent infrastructure with
stateoftheart technical equipment, an appropriate salary
including social benefits conforming to the Federal Collective Agreement for
Public Employees and - of importance to you - longterm planning
perspectives at an early stage: by the end of the twoyear starting
phase we will be able to tell you whether you will be offered a permanent
employment contract (tenure decision).

formalities - can be obtained from our Equal Opportunities Bureau

Ph.D Studentships in King's College London
I have two PhD studentships available for suitably qualified EU students
(flexible start date: from October 1st 1999) at King's College London.
These studentships are for 3 years and carry the standard London bursary,
which is currently about �7200. This can, of course, be topped up at any
stage with industrial support, and sufficient student demonstrating is
available to ensure that all post-graduates can do a reasonable amount.
Both projects will involve solid-phase synthesis, and its application to
Combinatorial Chemistry and Catalysis, with emphasis on the use of a wide
range of analytical techniques to understand the chemistry on the polymer
support. No deadline.
I also have another industrially-funded (by British Petroleum) PhD
studentship available (start date: October 1st 1999), also at King's
College London. Same details as above. The deadline for application for
this BP studentship is June 29th.
Any potential candidates should send me a short CV and the names of 2
referees as soon as possible (address below).
