Dimitri Leemans, from the Université libre de Bruxelles in Belgium, has been appointed to a position at the University of Auckland, from August 2012.

Marston Conder has been made a Distinguished Professor (one of 18 across all subjects) at the University of Auckland. He has also won a 2-year "James Cook" Research Fellowship from the Royal Society of New Zealand, and been selected by the American and New Zealand Mathematical Societies as the first "Maclaurin Lecturer", under a new exchange arrangement that will see him make a lecture tour of 5 or 6 universities in the US in 2013.

[edit] The Australasian Journal of Combinatorics

The web page for the Australasian Journal of Combinatorics is at http://ajc.maths.uq.edu.au/.

The Journal is published three times per year, in February, June and October. CMSA Members are entitled to a $10 discount per volume.

There is a search facility for past authors and for keywords in the titles of papers. Instructions to authors are also available at this web site.

The contents of all volumes, 1 to 53, are listed at the above web page. We also now have free public access to the full papers in Volumes 1 to 41 inclusive. All but the last four years are available for free.

Submissions to the Australas. J. Combin. may be sent to ajc at maths.uq.edu.au. Electronic submissions are encouraged. For paper submissions, please check the web page.
