The Portuguese national science foundation, Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) has opened a call for Ph.D. fellowships, from the 2nd up to the 31st of March 2020.
The Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IA) welcomes pre-applications to support selected candidates for documents, administrative tasks, and related activities.
The IA is the most prominent research unit in the field of Astrophysics in Portugal, integrating researchers from the Universidade of Porto and the University of Lisbon, and is responsible for a major fraction of the national productivity in international ISI journals in this area. The research and development effort at the IA includes most of the topics at the forefront of research in Astrophysics and Space Sciences, complemented by work on instrumentation and systems with potential use in Astronomy and Astrophysics.

On 16 December 2016 the ALMA website released a pre-announcement of the Cycle 5. The proposal deadline will be on 20 April 2016. The observing Cycle will start on October 2017 span 12 months.

The Cycle will offer 4000 hours on 12-m Array time and 3000 hours on the Atacama Compact Array (ACA). Cycle 5 will offer the same proposal types as in Cycle 4.

Some anticipation about the capabilities:

• At least ten (10) 7-m antennas (for short baselines) and three (3) 12-m antennas (for making single-dish maps) in the ACA;
• Receiver bands 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (wavelengths of about 3.1, 2.1, 1.6, 1.3, 0.87, 0.74, 0.44 and 0.35 mm, respectively);

• Maximum baselines for the 12 m antenna configurations will vary from 0.15 km to 16 km;

• Single field interferometry (all bands) and mosaics (Bands 3 to 9) with the 12-m Array and the 7-m Array;
• Single dish spectral line observations in Bands 3 to 8

The opportunities offered for the first time are:

1. Band 4 polarization: Proposals will be accepted for Band 4 observations in all available polarization modes.

2. Band 5 observations: Proposals will be accepted for spectral line (12-m, 7-m and Total Power arrays) and continuum (12-m and 7-m arrays) observations in Band 5. Proposals will be accepted for Band 5 observations in all available polarization modes.
