My institute, Kavli-IPMU at the university of Tokyo is hiring early career researchers whose work has been disrupted due to difficult circumstances due to events happening at various places currently in the world. Please repost and encourage them to apply. 🙏🏻
Kavli IPMU は、世界の研究環境の激変で研究継続が困難となった若手研究者を雇用するプログラムを始めました。横山機構長は「優秀な人材を招聘するだけでなく、若手研究者が希望を失わず、世界の研究世代に隔絶が起こらないよう、その端緒としたいです」と述べています。ipmu.jp/ja/job-opportunities…

🌟🌟 Are you or anyone you know interested in doing interdisciplinary neutron star research? I am looking to hire 2 postdocs to join me at RHUL in October 2025. One post will focus on cosmic superfluidity, the other on radio pulsar timing. Deadline 28 February 2025. See below.

Turns out this fast radio burst comes from a region less than 30,000km in size… that’s tiny!! 🤯 read about how we used scintillation to constrain the FRB emission region size at the link below ✨

Belated paper day: arxiv.org/abs/2411.12796
We discovered three ultracompact binaries with accreting white dwarfs (WDs), by their photometric and spectroscopic variability. With orbital periods of 13.2/8.7/7.9 mins, they are the most compact binaries with accretion disks! (1/6)

Very cool to see this code made publicly available! CHIME's VOEvent service is super helpful for enabling followup observations of new (or newly active!) FRBs.

if you're a later-year PhD student thinking about internships for next summer, my team at Morgan Stanley (ML Research) is hiring!
we're a tight-knit team of ~20 researchers working on everything from time-series to RL to diffusion to LLMs, both applications and fundamentals. we have compute, publishing freedom, and an endless supply of hard and interesting problems.
feel free to reach out to me with any questions!

This is big news for Native Americans.
With Walz as the Democratic pick for VP, it means Peggy Flanagan would presumably become the next Governor of Minnesota. There has never been a Native female governor of a state.
Flanagan is Anishinaabe from the White Earth Nation. – at Phoenix, AZ
BREAKING: Kamala Harris picks Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as running mate as she looks to boost Democratic ticket in Midwest, AP sources say.
