The Australian Synchrotron supported two a dditional students: Wei Kong Pang from Curtin University of Technology and Zhiqiang Liu from the University of New South Wales.\nThe school is an in tensive\, two-week\, hands-on course on synchrotron radiation science and technology for graduate students\, postdoctoral fellows\, young scientists and engineers who want to pursue careers in a field requiring synchrotron radiation and join a synchrotron radiation facility in the Asia Oceania r egion. An annual event\, the Cheiron School is organised by the Asia-Ocean ia Forum for Synchrotron Radiation Research (AOFSRR)\, RIKEN\, JASRI and K EK and held at the SPring-8 facility in Hyogo\, Japan.\n \;\nThe infor mation below is \;about the application process for the 2010 Cheiron S chool. Please DO NOT USE this information to apply for the 2011 Cheiron Sc hool.\nThe 4th AOFSRR Cheiron School will provide useful and basic knowled ge and perspectives on synchrotron radiation science and technology for gr aduate students\, postdoctoral fellows\, young scientists and engineers wh o want to pursue careers in a field requiring synchrotron radiation and jo in a synchrotron radiation facility in the Asia Oceania region. Held annua lly\, the Cheiron School is organised by the Asia-Oceania Forum for Synchr otron Radiation Research (AOFSRR)\, RIKEN\, JASRI and KEK and held at the SPring-8 facility in Hyogo\, Japan. \; This year\, the Cheiron School will be hosted by SPring-8 from Saturday 9 October 2010 to Monday 18 Octob er 2010.\nThe curriculum will include lectures on a broad range of instrum entation and applications topics\, round-table discussions with lecturers and synchrotron radiation researchers/engineers about practical and specif ic activities at synchrotron facilities\, and practical training sessions on SPring-8 beamline facilities.\nCheiron School Travel Awards\nThe AOFSRR will provide funding to support four individuals to attend the Cheiron Sc hool\, these will be fully funded by the AOFSRR. \; A further two plac es will be offered by the Australian Synchrotronto highly ranked applicant s to support their travel to the Cheiron School\, these awards will be val ued at $AUD 2000.\nEligiblity\nApplications are open to PhD students and p ostdoctoral fellows and who wish to pursue their career in a field requiri ng synchrotron radiation. \; However\, preference will be given to PhD students who are actively pursuing research in a field requiring synchrot ron radiation.\nApplicants must be currently enrolled at a recognised Aust ralian university.\nApplication Process\nStudents who are interested in at tending the school must complete an online application\, and attach a copy of their academic transcript (undergraduate to current)\, resume\, a lett er of recommendation from their principal academic supervisor and provide proof of their current enrolment status.\nNew Deadline\nApplications close d on \;Friday 16 July 2010. LATE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.\nA ssessment\nA maximum of six travel awards will be offered. \; Applicat ions will be ranked based on merit and alignment with the selection criter ia using a review process involving the leading synchrotron scientists.\nN otification\nAll applicants will be notified of the outcome of their appli cation by early September 2010.\n \;\nCheiron School Flyer (pdf\, 1.2 MB)\nApplications are now closed.\nhttp://cheiron2010.spring8.or.jp/\n 0\; DTSTART:20101009T090000Z DTEND:20101018T050000Z LOCATION:SPring-8 (Japan) SUMMARY:4th Cheiron School END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
