The Araucaria Meeting is a biennial event that brings together astronomers from Poland, France, Italy, Germany, the USA, and Chile, who work on the calibration of the cosmic distance scale and related topics.
Applications are invited for one postdoctoral position at the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center (NCAC), in Warsaw, Poland, in the field of extragalactic distance scale.
We welcome in our group a new PhD student Mikołaj Kałuszyński.

The Araucaria Meeting took place at the end of September 2017 in Crocow, Poland, and was attended by 23 people from 11 scientific institutions in six countries.
We are delighted to present to you our new member Zbigniew Kołaczkowski.
Araucaria is on YouTube! And we start with this amazing timelapse from Cerro Tololo Observatory. Available in English and in Polish. Enjoy!
Professor Grzegorz Pietrzyński has received European Research Council Advanced grant of 2.4 million Euro for “A sub-percent distance scale from binaries and Cepheids” project.
If you understand Polish language, we have a treat for you. Araucaria starred in an episode of Astronarium series, the one about measuring distances in our Universe.
