by Joe Renes 31 May '13

31 May '13

Hi everyone, next week we'll pre-empt the usual group meeting to hear from Prof. Troyer regarding his recent work on the D-Wave device. The talk will start at 15:30 in E41.1 and last for about an hour. Our originally scheduled talk, a Master's thesis presentation by Emilio Onorati, has been moved to Wednesday at 2pm. Location details to follow, but hopefully E41.1. We'll pick up the arxiv review the following week. Best, -joe

Fwd: [Equal] SNF: New family support measures for postdocs: 120% support grant
by Ilona Blatter 14 May '13

Dear all, FYI and kind regards, Ilona Anfang der weitergeleiteten E-Mail: > Von: "Keller Seitz Monika (Prs)" <monika.keller(a)sl.ethz.ch> > Betreff: [Equal] SNF: New family support measures for postdocs: 120% support grant > Datum: 13. Mai 2013 16:54:05 MESZ > An: "EqualOpportunity (SL)" <equal(a)sl.ethz.ch> > > Dear Equals > > Money again… J (and a great idea from the SNF!!!!) > > SNF: New family support measures for postdocs: 120% support grant > > In its Action Plan 2013-2016, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) places an emphasis on ensuring that a sufficient number of young scientists come to the fore in Switzerland. One corresponding measure is the new "120% support grant", which enables postdocs to stay on track with their academic career despite family commitments. > > The "120% support grant" is to be introduced on 1 June 2013 as a means of encouraging young scientists and increasing the appeal of an academic career. The purpose of the grant is to help researchers find the right balance between their academic career and family commitments. > > Contribution towards childcare costs > The support grants are open to postdocs in SNSF-funded projects who are striving to pursue an academic career while looking after family members at the same time. The grants allow the researchers to reduce their working hours. Using the freed-up work-time percentage and an additional 20% financed by the SNSF, they can hire a "support person" to work on their project. Alternatively, grantees can request a contribution towards childcare costs; the two options may also be combined. With this support measure, the SNSF aims to prevent or reduce delays for postdocs with family commitments who are also pursuing an academic career. > > The "120% support grants" are evaluated by the SNSF within two months. Applications may be submitted at the earliest on the first day after registration of the postdoc as an employee of the project and no later than four months after the expiry of the grant via the web platform mySNF under "Supplementary grants". The support measures only start after the maternity leave. > > Information online as of June > Further information on this new measure and on the submission procedure can be found in the relevant regulations as well as in the guidelines for the "120% support grant". Both documents will be published on the SNSF website as of 1 June 2013. > > For more information: http://www.snf.ch/E/current/SNFInfo/policy/Pages/default.aspx?NEWSID=1956&W… > > Kind regards, > > Equal Team > _______________________________________________________________ > > ETH Zurich > Dr Monika Keller (monika.keller(a)sl.ethz.ch) > Office of Equal Opportunities for Women and Men > CLD D11 > Clausiusstrasse 37 > CH - 8092 Zürich > Switzerland > > office days: Mo, Tue (whole day) and Thu-morning > > Phone +41 44 632 62 76 > Fax +41 44 632 16 74 > equal(a)sl.ethz.ch > www.equal.ethz.ch > > P Think before you print – save a tree today > > _______________________________________________ > equal mailing list > equal(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch > https://lists.inf.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/equal --------------------------------------------------- ETH Zurich Dr. Ilona Blatter NCCR QSIT Coordinator Laboratory for Solid State Physics HPF E 17 Schafmattstrasse 16 CH 8093 Zurich ilona.blatter(a)phys.ethz.ch www.nccr-qsit.ethz.ch Phone: +41 44 633 36 06
