IN BRIEF

Habemus Directorem!

 

Lárus Thorlacius from Iceland takes up the directorship of Nordita in June 2008. He works in theoretical high-energy physics. Ulf Wahlgren stays on as deputy director.

 

NORDITA is the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics. Our purpose is to carry out research and strengthen the Nordic collaboration within the basic areas of theoretical physics. The main research areas at Nordita are:

The institute is run jointly by Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Stockholm University and is located on the premises of AlbaNova University Center in Stockholm.

NORDITA CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS

Ice and Water in the Universe: from Astrobiology to Terrestrial Bodies

15-26 September 2008
The distribution of ice throughout the universe and here on Earth has central implications in astrophysics and geophysics from the agglomeration of primordial matter in stellar nebulae to the fate and state of our climate system.

This extended workshop will begin with a conference 15-17 September. [Read more...]

NEW STAFF

The New Nordita Fellows

Six applicants to the fellow positions have accepted to join Nordita:

  • Diego Chialva (String theory)
  • Kristin Giesel (Cosmology)
  • Mats Horsdal (Condensed matter physics)
  • Alexander Hubbard (Astrophysics)
  • Jonas Larson (Cold atomic gases)
  • Yassir Roudi (Biological physics)

Jonas Larson and Mats Horsdal have already started at Nordita, and the remaining fellows will arrive during the fall of 2008.

Pictures from Programs and Conferences

We have added to our photo gallery some action-packed photos from the recent program "TeV scale physics and dark matter" and conference "Conformal field theory approach to quantum Hall physics". Enjoy!

OPEN POSITIONS

Nordita is announcing a position as full professor in theoretical physics, starting in January 2009 or at some other date to be agreed upon.

Strong candidates from any subfield of theoretical physics will be considered, but emphasis is placed on condensed-matter theory and high-energy physics.

The appointment is tenured through an agreement with the Stockholm-area universities.

Applications should be submitted before 3 November 2008. [Read more...]

UPCOMING PROGRAM

Geometrical Aspects of String Theory

15 October - 15 December 2008
Ever since the birth of superstring theory, interaction with geometry has been one of the primary driving forces that has led to progress. On one hand, string theory has generated many new geometrical concepts; and on the other hand new ideas from geometry have often found their first applications in string theory.

Within the program there will be the "Geometrical Aspects of String Theory" workshop and "The 22nd Nordic Network Meeting on 'Strings, Fields and Branes'" [Read more...]
