The Advocacy Project (AP)- Peace Fellowship 2011, USA: Human Rights

AP began recruiting graduate students to volunteer with partner organizations in 2003. In the years since, 198 Peace Fellows have served in 39 countries (below). Fellows are at the heart of our program. They allow AP to work around the world, and their skills and commitment are highly valued by community-based advocates. Most Fellows serve for three months and continue to promote the work of their host after they return at their university or to local schools. A small number are on long-term assignments (below). The fellowship experience is intended to build skills and enhance career prospects, and AP measures these impacts carefully. All Fellows are expected to complete two evaluations, after training and on return home.
The Advocacy Project (AP) is looking for young professionals and graduate students to volunteer with AP’s community-based partners in the summer of 2011. This is the fellowship for those who relish a challenge and are passionate about human rights. Check below for current openings, and check back regularly. New positions may become available.

Postdoctoral position at KTH, Sweden: Astrophysics

KTH School of Computer Science and Communication (CSC) announces a post-doctoral position with a focus on the approximability of NP-hard optimization problems.
The goal of the current project is to show mathematical theorems relating to efficient computation. The project studies NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems of central importance and aims to establish theoretical bounds on how well each problem can be approximated in polynomial time. The goal is to prove upper bounds by designing and analyzing algorithms and to prove lower bounds in the form of hardness results. A more detailed description of the project can be found at
