1. Short News

We would like to congratulate Dr. Raphael Skalidis who has been awarded the prestigious and highly competitive NASA Hubble postdoctoral fellowship to continue his research for the next three years at Caltech. The Society extends its best wishes for further success in his professional pursuits.

All members are encouraged to review the minutes of the 13th meeting of the Governing Council of HelAS, which took place on April 29, 2024.
 
2. Elections of Hel.A.S.

The Governing Council of the Hel.A.S. informs all members that the next elections for the Council of the Society for 2024-2026 term will take place on Friday June 28 2024, along with the 43th General Assembly (GA). We would like to remind all members that in order to participate in the upcoming elections all Ordinary and Junior members must have paid their 2023 annual membership fee by June 10, 2024. After this date, the e-mails of the eligible voters will be submitted to the electronic voting system for processing. As was the case in 2022, the elections will take place electronically from 8:00 until 17:00 and they will be coordinated by the three member committee: Dr. A. Anastasiadis (Chair), Prof. I. Papadakis and Prof. V. Pavlidou.

 
3. The 43rd General Assembly of Hel.A.S.

The agenda of the 43rd General Assembly of the Society, which will take place on Friday June 28, 2024, is available here. At noon Prof. Maria Petropoulou will deliver an invited lecture to all participants entitled "Neutrino Astronomy: a glimpse into a new and evolving field of astrophysics ".
 
4. Summer School of Hel.A.S.

The 5th summer school of the Society, entitled "Magnetohydrodynamics in Astrophysics", will take place in Ioannina during 16-20 September 2024. More information about the summer school, which is also sponsored by the Univ. of Ioannina, will become available here.
 
5. 2024 NEON Observing School

The 2024 NEON Observing school will take place in Greece at the facilities of the National Observatory of Athens 13 - 25 October 2024. During the school we will use in person the 2.3 meter Aristarchos telescope and 1.2 metre Kryoneri telescope. In addition we will obtain data also from the 2 meter Liverpool Telescope. Liverpool Telescope is a robotic telescope located on La Palma in Spain.  More information about the school is available here.
 
6. Travel Grants
  
We would like to inform the Junior members of our Society that we are now accepting applications for financial support for meetings occurring during the calendar year's second half (July - December 2024).  Priority will be given to Junior members who have no access to other sources of funding for their participation in conferences or workshops. The deadline for submitting the application is June 15, 2024. The application form is available here.  
   
7. Job Opportunities in Greece

1) The Institute of Astrophysics at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (IA-FORTH) invites applications for a 3-year PhD position broadly on blazars and Tidal Disruption events to work with Dr. Ioannis Liodakis’s group, funded by the ERC Starting Grant BOOTES (Black hOle Optical polarization TimE-domain Survey). BOOTES is focusing on multiwavelength polarization observations of blazars and TDEs trying to understand early accretion disk and jet formation as well particle acceleration and high-energy processes in jets from supermassive black holes. More information is available here.

2) The Institute of Astrophysics at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (IA-FORTH) invites applications for several PhD positions broadly on supermassive black hole binaries to work in Dr. Maria Charisi’s group, funded by the ERC Starting Grant MMMonsters. MMMonsters aims to detect supermassive black hole binaries using electromagnetic (time-domain) and gravitational-wave (PTA) data and the combination of the two. More information is available here.

3) The Institute for Astronomy, Astrophysics, Space Applications and Remote Sensing (IAASARS) of the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) invites applications for a postdoctoral position on the topic of "Scientific analysis of very high energy particles", funded by the Horizon Europe program SPEARHEAD,  to work with Dr. A. Papaioannou. More information is available here.
