Director's Message

Dear Colleagues,

Please join me in congratulating Professor Jagadish on being recognised for his global citizenship with the recent President's Global Leadership Award from the University of South Florida.

As I flagged a few weeks back, the School Review will be made public with an all-star cast including our VC, Provost, DVC(R) and Dean on 1st April at 1:45pm in the main tearoom, Physics South. This will become an important document leading us to a School-wide retreat in the middle of this year, and beyond.

An important reminder to ARC grant holders that they must follow their agreed budget.  There is little chance for variation and if you require assistance please speak with our CoS Research Office and Finance teams.

The School Seminar Series recommences this week with Dr Lindsey Bignell (Nuclear Physics) - see right.

Finally, an important notice about a new position opening up in the School that may appeal to those wishing to use their knowledge of physics to connect our research teams in industry and agency partnerships.  The 3 year position will be joint with the Strategic Projects and Partnerships team in the PVC(Innovation)’s portfolio, details below.

Have a good week and best of luck to the LIEF applicants.

Tim
