Dear all,

The next application round for MCnet short term studentships is the 7th
of September. If you know of any suitable students please let them know
about the scheme and encourage them to apply.

For those who do not know about the scheme details on MCnet are here :
http://www.montecarlonet.org/

and on the studentship scheme here:
http://www.montecarlonet.org/index.php?p=Residency/main&sub=ShortTermStudentships 

<http://www.montecarlonet.org/index.php?p=Residency/main&sub=ShortTermStudentships>

They are for current PhD students and are a really good and unique
opportunity to get direct access to the MC experts and get some hands on
training that can help with a thesis topic that already involves some MC
work. The knowledge acquired is then hopefully brought back to the
experiments and spread!

As a user community we really need to understand the tools we rely on so
heavily better and this is a great way to achieve this.

There are all sorts of possibilities for the projects, ranging from
implementing a new process in one of the generators to including new
data into MC tunes to contrasting different generator predictions for
certain distributions to studying analysis techniques etc etc.

If you are currently working on an analysis that  involves understanding
MC generators (or know of someone else who is) this would be a great
opportunity for you to really improve your understanding and get a
chance to stay at one of the MCnet nodes for a few months.

Regards,
Emily.
