Prospective of the CNRS INP: Online feedback symposium – September 12 and 13, 2023.

L’Institut de Physique (INP) du CNRS a lancé en mai 2022 un travail sur sa prospective scientifique pour nourrir la réflexion sur l’évolution de la physique à l’horizon 2030.

Comme vous le savez, des groupes de travail questionnent, travaillent, rédigent, animent la réflexion sur 15 différents thèmes ayant été définis en décembre 2022.

Un colloque de restitution auprès de toute la communauté est prévu en ligne les 12-13 septembre 2023. Après une présentation brève du travail de prospective réalisé par les groupes de travail, la communauté pourra commenter et poser des questions sur l’ensemble des textes que les groupes de travail vont faire circuler auprès de leurs contributeurs.

Pour être tenus au courant en avance des textes de restitution, nous vous rappelons qu’il faut s’être inscrit sur le site de l’INP: https://survey.cnrs-dir.fr/index.php/131237?lang=fr

Pour assister au colloque de restitution, il vous faudra les 12 et 13 septembre cliquer sur le lien ci-dessous afin de rejoindre le webinaire :

Code secret : r05mWm

Cela vous permettra de suivre les présentations et de poser des questions (écrites) durant les deux jours de l’événement.

Le programme provisoire du colloque de restitution est fourni en pièce jointe: Programme_Colloque_INP-12&13Septembre2023

Après cette phase, l’Institut de physique utilisera les textes proposés et les remarques issues de ce colloque pour élaborer un document de prospective définitif qui sera disponible à la fin de l’année 2023.

Nous vous attendons nombreux en septembre, après une vraisemblable et surement bienvenue pause estivale !

2-year Research Associate positions in quantum clocks and atom interferometers at Imperial College London

The High Energy Physics Group at Imperial College London invites applications for a Research Associate to generate groundbreaking research in the field of quantum sensing using cold strontium atoms. This research will primarily involve innovative approaches such as spin-squeezing and continuous laser cooling. You will have the opportunity to work at the newly established Strontium Laboratory at Imperial College London, playing a pivotal role in two important collaborations: the Atom Interferometer Observatory and Network (AION) and the Ultra-precise Shock-resistant Optical Clocks (USOC) project.

This is a full time position for two years in the first instance with the possibility of extension dependent on future funding.

Application deadline is 14 July 2023. For more information, please see : https://www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/description/NAT01466/research-associate-quantum-clocks-and-atom-interferometers

First Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) Meeting, September 14th and 15th, 2023 in Grasse, France

First Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) Meeting, September 14th and 15th, 2023 in Grasse, France

Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur (OCA), CNRS – INSU, Université Côte d’Azur (UCA), France

The first LLR meeting wishes to bring the producers, the users and the science behind lunar laser ranging together in order to join efforts and resources, to define goals and enhance the visibility for a LLR community, and to identify synergies and to plan for the future. The goal is to encourage every group to help and form a visible global community.
