■Short-stay research program for young researchers
Call for Applications

■THE PROGRAM

This program offers graduate students and young researchers opportunities to actively learn at host laboratories of the project members. The program encourages participants to broaden their perspectives and to interact directly with young researchers of the host laboratory. The aims of the program are to promote integration of research topics and build an interdisciplinary approach for "topological quantum phenomenon" by discussing common issues and exchanging ideas among young researchers with different scientific background. The period of stay should be more than one week, less than two weeks. Longer stay may be admitted if needed.

■ELIGIBILITY

Graduate students (pursuing master or doctoral degree), Post doctoral researchers, specially-appointed researchers, assistant professors are eligible.
Applicants must belong to the laboratories of the project members (including members of solicitation programs).

■ Young Researchers' International Workshops

We will hold international workshops organized by young members of this "Topology" project, for communication and personnel exchanges among Japanese and foreign young researchers who in future will play major roles in the research field of topological phenomena in condensed matter, The scope of the workshops covers all research topics of the "Topology" project: e.g. spin-triplet superconductivity/superfluidity, topological insulators, novel superconductivity at interfaces, cold atoms, and so on.
The workshops will be held in 2011 and in 2013.
The workshop is also supported by Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP) in Korea.
