Massive recruitment in groundwater As our CGS friends and colleagues know, the CGS is now part of the National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training (NCGRT). We are pleased to continue and expand our short course program together with this exciting new Centre. The short courses will continue to operate on the same business model that has been so successful for the CGS. The NCGRT has $55M in funding to spend on research and research training over five years. The NCGRT is recruiting now for about 170 Honours, PhD, Postdoc and Technical and Research positions at universities around Australia. We are inviting Expressions of Interest from Australian and overseas candidates. This is the largest coordinated recruiting drive ever undertaken in groundwater in Australia. You can help us to spread the word. Initial EOIs close on Wednesday 16 September.

澳大利亚研究委员会(Australian Research Council-ARC)有点类似于我国的自然科学基金委,近日为了其The Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) 计划发布了对研究人员进行考量的评价指标。 有兴趣的朋友请自行前往( http://www.arc.gov.au/era/indicators.htm )观看吧,我这里就不搬砖头了。
