Copernic A, Observatoire de Meudon, 5, place Jules Janssen, 92195 Meudon Cedex (France) Phone: 0(033)145077785 Fax: 0(033)145077872 email:  Coralie.Neiner@obspm.fr Received: Jul 4, 2008;  Accepted: Jul 7, 2008 Candidates interested in a postdoc position to work on the analysis of the MiMeS spectropolarimetric data of Be stars at the Meudon Observatory (France) are invited to apply for a Marie Curie Fellowship. MiMeS (Magnetism In Massive Stars) is a Large Program on the Espadons spectropolarimeter at CFHT to study magnetic fields of massive stars including Be stars. 650 hours of Espadons time have been allocated to this project over 11 semesters starting in 2008B. This collaboration includes observers, modelers and theoreticians, in particular from France and Canada. More details about MiMeS can be found at http://www.physics.queensu.ca/~wade/mimes. The postdoc project would be performed in the Be team at the GEPI laboratory of the Paris-Meudon Observatory (France). Members of this team are C. Neiner, A.-M. Hubert, M. Floquet, C. Martayan, B. de Batz, J. Gutierrez-Soto (postdoc), A.-L. Huat (PhD) and T. Semaan (PhD). The work would be performed in collaboration with other MiMeS members. The deadline for Marie Curie Fellowship applications is August 19th. Non-European researchers can apply for an 'International Incoming Fellowship'. See http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=usersite.FP7DetailsCallPage&CALL_ID=119. European researchers can apply for an 'Intra-European Fellowship'.
