Spontaneous Workshop (SW) brings together specialists in particle physics, astrophysics and theoretical physics at the Institute of Scientific Studies of Cargèse (IESC) to exchange recent knowledge on Cosmology in a constructive atmosphere. The goal is to stimulate debate for generating innovative ideas on emerging issues. With this in mind, the number of participants is limited to 30 and the workshop program is based on an optimal number of concise presentations, with a sufficient discussion space to facilitate interactions between participants. Postdoctoral and PhD students are encouraged to participate.

6. Interstellar Shock School (12-17 Jun 2022, Les Houches)
Two years that looked like an eternity ago, we planned to organize a session on Interstellar shocks in Les Houches. The session was due to be held in March 22-27, 2020, and was canceled because of the pandemics. It has been rescheduled and should be held in June 12-17, 2022.
The session will give a comprehensive view of the role and impacts of shocks, that are ubiquitous in galaxies and their close environments. The session will include lectures on physical and chemical processes in interstellar shocks, observations, models, experiments, as well as hands-on sessions. The speakers are confirmed but the program may still be subject to changes: we apologize for the uncertainties on the final schedule that are due to the unpredictable events this world is experiencing.
IMPORTANT UPDATE (1): We are in the process of re-opening the website. We invite applicants to take a look at the updated website: https://isss.sciencesconf.org. The number of participants is limited to 50. If you are interested in participating to the session, we ask all applicants to send a small text of intent (between 5 and 10 lines), presenting your research interests, the particular project or subject for which you wish to attend the session, and a few words to explain your motivation to do so. Send a notification of application to the session and this text of intent to isss-leshouches@phys.ens.fr. This is regardless of prior acceptance to the 2019 session. Note that we’ll do our best to keep a place for those who were accepted to the 2019 session.
IMPORTANT UPDATE (2): Financial support will be attributed to selected students. Our intention is to waive the accomodation costs for successfull applicants. To the participants who wish to benefit from this funding, we kindly ask to join a brief (typically one-page) CV to their email containing the application notification and the text of intent addressed to isss-leshouches@phys.ens.fr. This is regardless of prior acceptance and funding potentially obtained for the 2019 session. Indeed, our budget is not exactly the same as two years ago.

10. Cosmology postdoctoral position at LPSC Grenoble
The multi-wavelength cosmology group of the Laboratory of Subatomic Physics and Cosmology of Grenoble (LPSC, IN2P3, CNRS) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in cosmology. The position is expected to be filled in July 2022. The appointment is for a period of two years and mainly concerns young cosmologists up to a maximum of 2 years after their PhDs.
The LPSC is CNRS laboratory (http://lpsc.in2p3.fr/index.php/en/) with about 200 CNRS researchers, engineers and technicians as well as Grenoble university faculty members, in addition to a large number of postdoctoral researchers and postgradute students (35).
The multi-wavelength cosmology group consists of a Grenoble University faculty member, Prof. F. Mayet, and of 2 CNRS senior researchers, L. Perotto and A. Catalano, and of a CNRS director of research, J.F. Macías-Pérez. In addition, 1 junior postdoc, and 2 postgraduate students work in the group.
Within the context of the new Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments there is clear need for a high sensitivity instrument able to resolve sub-arcmin scales covering a large area of the sky. Such an instrument would be key both for CMB lensing and cluster cosmology. Furthermore, it would be both unique and complementary with respect to CMB-S4 and LiteBird. Finally, it would permit unique cross-correlation studies with current and future non-CMB cosmological surveys as the the Euclid satellite and Rubin Observatory in the visible and the infrared, and the e-Rosita and Athena satellites in X-ray.
At this respect, we have undertaken the feasibility study of the CMB High Resolution Observatory (CMB-HRO) project, which would be based on the Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID) technology developed by the KID GIS (LPSC, Institut Néel, IPAG and IRAM) in the Grenoble area. CMB-HRO would consists of two ground-based 15-m telescopes coupled to large arrays of KIDs (about 104 detectors) operated in 4 frequency bands in the millimeter range (94, 150, 210 and 250 GHz). Such an instrument would ensure sub-arcmin resolution and CMB-S4 competitive sensitivity at the frequency of interest for CMB measurements from the ground. In a first phase, a telescope fully equipped would be installed in a northern observatory to ensure 6000 deg2 sky-coverage and full complementarity (different sky coverage and higher resolution) with respect to CMB-S4. In a second phase, a second telescope would be installed in Atacama at the expected location of the CMB-S4 instrument with the objective of completing 12 000 deg2 for legacy cosmology.
The work of the postdoctoral fellow will focus both in providing both realistic requirements on the CMB-HRO instrument as well as clear forecast of its expected cosmological performance. The person recruited as a post-doctoral fellow will join the LPSC multi-wavelength cosmology group and will work in close collaboration with our local colleagues from Institut Néel, IRAM and IPAG. Furthermore, within the framework of CMB-S4 he/she will have the opportunity to interact and collaborate with best CMB scientists all around the world.
Applicants should submit the following items:
• Cover Letter
• Curriculum Vitae
• Research Statement
• Publication List
• Three Reference Letters (to be sent directly to the person of contact by the reference writer)
All materials should be sent directly to J.F. Macías-Pérez (macias@lpsc.in2p3.fr)
We will begin reviewing applications from now on.

12. Postdoctoral fellow at APC, Paris
Deadline: lundi 21 mars 2022
The APC Laboratory is opening a postdoctoral fellowship to work on dark energy science with Euclid and Rubin. More information and details of the application procedure can be found at the application website:
https://emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/UMR7164-NADOKA-010/Default.aspx
A description of the fellowship is repeated below.
The Astroparticle and Cosmology (APC; http://apc.u-paris.fr/) laboratory of the University of Paris seeks applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in the area of dark energy research, with specific emphasis on participation in the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Euclid Mission and the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Understanding the nature of dark energy, responsible for the observed accelerated expansion of the universe, is arguably the most challenging question facing Physics and cosmology today. Planned for launch in 2023, the Euclid mission will survey the extragalactic sky from the Earth-Sun Lagrange point 2 with the aim of constraining the evolution of dark energy using weak gravitational lensing, galaxy clustering, galaxy cluster evolution, and cross-correlations with the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Rubin will begin operations in 2023, applying the same set of observational probes across the Southern sky over the course of its ten-year survey.
The Euclid and Rubin groups at APC are involved in both the science analysis of the surveys and in the development of the Euclid science ground segment. We are particularly active in galaxy cluster science, cross-correlation with the CMB and weak gravitational lensing, and we are developing novel techniques applying machine learning and artificial intelligence in these areas. There is a strong synergy between the Euclid, Rubin and CMB efforts. We seek candidates eager to work with us in the area of dark energy studies with the aim of contributing in particular to the Euclid mission and the synergy between Euclid and Rubin. Experience with scientific computing, statistics and data analysis in the context of cosmology and astrophysics is recommended.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will work with prof. James Bartlett on cosmology with galaxy clusters and cross-correlations between Euclid/Rubin and next generation CMB surveys, all within the context of the Euclid, Rubin, Simons Observatory and CMB-S4 efforts.
