We would like to congratulate Dr. Alexios Liakos who was recently elected to the position of Associate Researcher, at IAASARS, National Observatory of Athens. The Society extends its best wishes for further success in his professional pursuits.
We would like to congratulate Ms. Maria Chira who has recently successfully defended her PhD thesis entitled "Properties of Dark Matter halos of light-cone N-body simulations and a structure quantification algorithm" at the Dept. of Physics of the Univ. of Thessaloniki, under the supervision of Prof. M. Plionis. Ms. Chira has moved to a postdoctoral position at IAASARS/NOA. The Society extends its best wishes for further success in her professional pursuits.
We would like to congratulate Prof. Vasiliki Pavlidou, who was recently elected as Associate Editor in the area of Theoretical Astrophysics for the journal “Astronomy & Astrophysics”. The Society extends its best wishes for further success in her professional pursuits.

3. Job Opportunities in Greece
|
|
One Post-Doctoral or alternatively PhD position on population synthesis of stellar binary systems at the Institute of Astrophysics in Heraklion (IA-FORTH) will be announced in the upcoming months. The position will be funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation (HFRI) scheme under the grant entitled "SFERICSS" with PI Dr. Emmanouil (Manos) Zapartas. The selected candidate will work on topics related to the energetical and mechanical feedback of binary stellar populations to their surroundings, both during the binary phase and/or during their X-ray binary phase. For that the selected candidate will use the new-generation binary population synthesis code, POSYDON, which is based on MESA stellar and binary models. The candidate will be a member of the POSYDON team, with many options for close international research collaborations. Applicants with experience in the fields of stellar and binary evolution modeling, binary and spectral population synthesis, populations of X-ray binaries and/or stellar feedback at stellar host environments and galaxies are particularly encouraged to apply. The opening will be for a postdoctoral position, but depending on the available candidates, the position can be alternatively offered to a PhD candidate. Expected starting date is in fall 2023, for a duration of up to 24 months. For the alternative case of a PhD position, a 3rd year of a paid secondment either at the University of Geneva (Switzerland) or NorthWestern University (Chicago, USA) is possible. Interested parties should contact Dr. Emmanouil (Manos) Zapartas (zapartas@noa.gr) for more details.
