The LCSR announces a new call for associate researchers. The main idea is to attract young scholars to work on their own projects under the guidance of the LCSR experts. The successful candidates will be invited to present their research proposal on the LCSR's events (we gather three times per year to report the ongoing project results and get the feedback). LCSR covers all the costs for the participation in the regular workshops, conferences and summer schools (only for the invited participants) and provides the ground for discussion and development of the projects.

In order to apply for the research membership and present the proposal during the Annual Conference in November you need to submit:

• Curriculum Vitae (not exceeding 2 pages),
• Project description: main goal, brief literature review, main hypothesis and data description (not exceeding 5 pages),),
• Project abstract (100 words),
• Motivation Letter (not exceeding 1 page).

Please comply with the following requirements while writing an application: MS Word, 12 font, Times New Roman, 1.5 spacing, standard margins.

Applications are accepted electronically via e-mail (hse.lcss@gmail.com) till September 7, 2012. Results of the competition will be announced before September 15, 2012. Winners of competition will be invited to LCSR's Annual Conference (November 6-10, 2012, Moscow).
