The 2026 symposium presents research by the foundation’s achievement-prize recipients. Steven A. Kushner discusses precision psychiatry and its remaining challenges; Andrew H. Miller examines an inflammatory subtype of depression; Cynthia Rogers explores how early experience affects brain development and children’s mental health; Sheena Josselyn addresses memory and engrams; and Christine Yu…
The 36th Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems conference brings together developers and users of astronomical software, algorithms and data systems. ICRAR hosts the meeting with SKAO, CSIRO and AusSRC. The programme includes research presentations, tutorials and community discussions. General registration remains open until 15 October 2026, and poster abstracts close on 1 October; the…
Petar Suman explores how higher-order statistics of the cosmic microwave background connect inflationary theory to observations. Although single-field inflation explains the origin of primordial fluctuations, its particle-physics mechanism remains uncertain. The first part examines the cosmological-collider programme: massive fields during inflation can leave oscillatory signatures in primordial…

FAIR motivates predictions for dense QCD, where non-Hermitian Dirac operators cause the lattice sign problem. Analytic and numerical methods from non-Hermitian physics reveal how CK symmetry produces a moat regime near a critical point. The talk considers its temperature-density range and experimental signatures.

International recruitment call for four PhD positions starting between May and September 2027 in Leuven. Projects investigate nervous-system development, ageing, function and disease, including neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental conditions. The centre combines approaches from molecular and single-cell biology, functional genomics and imaging with AI, neuroengineering and microelectronics.…
Mid-career staff recruitment in nuclear chemistry. Develop nanofunctional materials for radionuclide separation and analysis, investigate degradation under irradiation, and study material-surface responses involved in selective recognition. The work supports integrated analytical platforms and compact devices. The tentative assignment is at the Nuclear Science Research Institute in Tokai-mura,…
Supports formulation, manufacturing, delivery technologies and predictive methods that improve therapeutic performance. Proposals must identify a therapeutic payload, target tissue and dosing rationale; computational work requires translational validation. Letters of intent are due 30 October 2026 at noon Eastern time.
Develop an original research project during a residential fellowship in Stellenbosch, South Africa, in the first semester of 2028. All disciplines are eligible. STIAS prioritises interdisciplinary exchange and conceptual or analytical work; it does not provide laboratories or fund fieldwork during residence. Submit a cover letter, project proposal, CV with publications and a work sample by 31…
Investigate how mice learn and generalize between virtual and real environments in the Optophysiology Lab at IMBIT. The project combines behavioural experiments, neural recordings and quantitative analysis with development and in-vivo validation of a two-photon miniscope. The researcher will contribute to device design, model behavioural and neural data, and help interpret and publish findings.…
This call supports five consecutive months of research mobility between current SASUF+ partner universities in Sweden and South Africa. Researchers remain attached to their home institution while joining a host research group. Applications close on 4 November 2026; placements must finish by 1 June 2028. Submit a host invitation, home-institution approval, application form, CV/publications and…
