Hi all,


Just came across this interesting opportunity. Please advertise as  
widely as possible.

flexibility in the starting dates, with the phase-1 PhD projects  
preferably starting before May 2009, and phase-2 PhD projects starting  
no later than the end of November 2009. The network PhD students will  
be trained through a combination of local and network wide research/ 
training experience, but will be employed at one of the following  
network institutions:

	• University of Hertfordshire (UH), UK
	• Institute of Astronomy (IoA), Cambridge, UK
	• Institute de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC), Spain
