Application

The school is opened to students of any citizenship. Applications are open from March 24 to June 13, 2021 and must be completed on-line (don't wait for the final day!). No late registrations will be taken into account. A "Registration request" email is sent to the applicant after the on-line submission. Later, once the recommendation letter is received (see below), a "Registration confirmation" email is sent to confirm the pre-registration in the following days, meaning the registration is complete. Applicants will be informed of the final result of their application in July 2021.

(1) Applicants should create an account or login under the "Login" tab on the top right side. A "Register" tab can then be found.

(2) Applicants should prepare a short academic CV and a paragraph explaining the reasons and motivations for which they apply. CV and motivation should be prepared in plain text and filled directly in the online registration form. A few grants covering the accomodation fees (but not travel expenses) may be available. This is asked in the registration form as well. If the applicants ask for a grant, this should be also explained in the motivation text.

(3) To be valid, your application should be followed by a written recommendation from your PhD supervisor, in a pdf file with the name "LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_letter.pdf". The recommendation pdf file should be sent by email to coldatoms2021[at]sciencesconf.org before June 13, 2021. Note that you should ask yourself for the recommendation letter, your supervisor will not receive any direct request from us. Once the recommendation letter is received, a "Registration confirmation" email is sent in the following days (see above). If no letter is received, there will be no "Registration confirmation" email and the registration will not be complete, so please ask/send the letter as soon as possible.

(4) The accomodation fees are 732 € and are to be paid on arrival (credit card or cash). They are mandatory. Students are expected to reside in the school premises during the duration of the school. The fees cover the registration to the school, full-board accomodation, lodging and meals at les Houches school of Physics, from (and including) the dinner of September 13 to (and including) the lunch of September 24. Please note that the accomodation fees do not cover travel expenses.

(5) During the month of July 2021, we will let you know if your application has been accepted or declined to participate to the pre-doc school.
