PhD In Soil Environmental Chemistry - Swiss Federal Institute

2011-02-17T22:05:00.000-08:00

PhD Positions in Soil Environmental Chemistry Swiss Federal Institute of Technology

We are inviting applications for two PhD student positions in the Institute of Biogeochemistry and Pollutant Dynamics at ETH Zurich.

The successful candidates will investigate the physicochemical structure and biogeochemical reactivity of nano-crystalline Fe(III)-(hydr) oxides formed in the presence of natural organic matter. In natural environments, the precipitation of Fe(III)-(hydr) oxides is often influenced by dissolved or particulate organic matter such as humic substances or polysaccharides originating from microorganisms and plants.
The structure and reactivity of such Fe(III)-precipitate s containing significant amounts of organic carbon are of fundamental importance for understanding many biogeochemical processes, including contaminant behavior, carbon sequestration, weathering and soil formation.
One subproject will focus on the molecular and microscopic level characterization of such precipitates and their interactions with trace metals in abiotic systems.
In the other subproject we will study their dissolution behavior in abiotic and biotic systems using Shewanella and Geobacter strains, and track speciation changes of trace metals associated with these solids.
Both students will apply state-of-the- art analytical techniques, including synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
The two sub-projects will be strongly linked and international collaborations are planned.
We are seeking highly motivated candidates with a strong interest in detailed laboratory research.
Previous experience in the fields of mineralogy/crystall ography, microbiology, and inorganic chemistry would be beneficial.
Applicants should hold a MSc degree (or equivalent) in soil chemistry, environmental geochemistry, mineralogy, microbiology or a related basic science discipline.
Good knowledge of spoken and written English is essential.

Female and male candidates are equally invited to apply. Employment will be according to standard regulations of ETH Zurich (funding secured for 3 years).
Start from March 2010 or upon mutual agreement.

Applicants should submit a letter of application, CV, statement of research interests, copy of certificates, and addresses of 2-3 potential referees to Prof. Ruben Kretzschmar, ETH Zurich, CHN F23.1, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland (paper copy by mail or single pdf-file by e-mail to christian.mikutta@ env.ethz. ch).

For further details on the project please contact Dr. Christian Mikutta.

Evaluation of applications will start 15.01.2010 until the positions are filled.

or by email to jakob.zinsstag@..., Tel. +41 61 284 81 39

Background and Aims of the Project
Substantial gains have been made in global health, including reductions in overall and
child mortality in developing countries. However, progress remains uneven and there are
growing differences in mortality, morbidity and disease burden rates according to
geographical region. For example, communicable diseases, maternal and perinatal
conditions, and micronutrient deficiencies cluster in the tropics and subtropics, and
contribute to delay the social and economic development. Improving the health and
livelihoods of the global poor could save millions of healthy life years, enhance equity
and alleviate poverty, and hence contribute to achieving the millennium development
goals (MDGs). Certain MDGs are addressed by global alliances and partnerships; e.g. the
control of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Fewer efforts are placed on the so-called
neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), e.g. helminth infections and zoonoses. The focus of
this project is on the epidemiology and control of NTDs in semi-arid and humid contexts
in Central and West Africa.
The goal of this proposal is to deepen our understanding of morbidity patterns and
transmission dynamics of NTDs in two eco-epidemiological settings of Africa,
and to study the effects of control interventions aiming at reducing the burden due to
NTDs. This will entail the development of methods and analytical tools for demographic
surveillance of a highly mobile population in Chad, and a rural sedentary population in
south-central Côte d’Ivoire. These demographic surveillance system (DSS) sites will
serve as platforms to monitor changes in morbidity patterns following locally-adapted
interventions.

PhD position Neogeography: the challenge of channeling large

2009-10-09T05:49:00.000-07:00

The University of Twente is an entrepreneurial research university, located in Enschede, the Netherlands. Organized over five faculties, the UT offers 20 educational programs ranging from applied physics, public and business administration, communication studies and diverse programs in engineering technology.

The Computer Science department of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) is one of the largest academic institutions in computer science in the Netherlands. It provides courses in Technical Computer Science, Business Information Technology and Telematics. In addition, the department contributes to computer science education within other academic programs. The research of the department, spearheaded by telematics and information technology, is part of the multidisciplinary research institute Centre for Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT). The department has about 270 permanent staff members and 1200 students.

In the Chair of Databases we have an open position for a PhD student Neogeography: the challenge of channeling large and ill-behaved data streams

Project description

In this project, we develop XML-based data technology to support the channeling of large and ill-behaved neogeographic data streams. In neogeography, geographic information is derived from end-users, not from official bodies like mapping agencies, cadasters or other official, (para-)governmental organizations. The motivation is that multiple (neo)geographic information sources on the same phenomenon can be mutually enriching.

Content provision and feedback from large communities of end-users has great potential for sustaining a high level of data quality. The technology is meant to reach a substantial user community in the less-developed world through content provision and delivery via cell phone networks. Exploiting such neogeographic data requires a.o. the extraction of the where and when from textual descriptions. This comes with intrinsic uncertainty in space, time, but also thematically in terms of entity identification: which is the restaurant, bus stop, farm, market, forest mentioned in this information source? The rise of sensor networks adds to the mix a badly needed verification mechanism for the real-time neogeographic data.

We strive for a proper mix of carefully integrated techniques in geoinformation handling, approaches to spatiotemporal imprecision and incompleteness, as well as data augmentation through sensors in a generic framework with which purpose-oriented end-user communities can be served appropriately.

This PhD position focuses on spatiotemporal data technology in XML databases and theory and support technology for storage, manipulation and reasoning with spatiotemporal and thematic uncertainty. The work is to be validated through testbed use cases, such as the H20 project with google.org (water consumers in Zanzibar), AGCommons project with the Gates Foundation (smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa), and other projects with large user communities.

What we ask

We are looking for a candidate with a MSc. degree in computer science, databases, geoinformatics, software engineering, mathematics (with a computer science specialization), or an equivalent degree. The work involves both theory (logic and statistics) and practice (implementation of the technology and experimental evaluation). The candidate must provide good communication skills, in writing as well as oral. Your main task will be to do research, but you will be given opportunities to acquire some teaching experience. The selected candidate will be embedded in a joint research project with ITC, Enschede, and will closely collaborate with a PhD candidate from that institute.

What we offer

We offer a full-time PhD position in a dynamic and international environment. The duration of the contracts is four years. The gross salary will range from € 2.042,00 in the first year to € 2.612,00 per month in the fourth year.

Additionally, the University of Twente provides excellent facilities for professional and personal development. In addition, we offer a holiday allowance (amounts to 8%) and an end-of-year bonus of 8.3% (which is approximately an extra month of salary) and a number of additional benefits. The labor agreements are in accordance with the CAO-NU for Dutch universities.

PhD Programs 2010 IMT, Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca

2009-10-06T04:29:00.000-07:00

The deadline for applications is December 4, 2009 at 18:00 (Italian time)

Computer Science and Engineering

The doctoral program aims at preparing researchers and professionals with a wide knowledge about the foundations of informatics and about its applications to a variety of systems and disciplines, focusing on aspects of particular importance in the present context. The new version of informatics is changing the perspective of other disciplines and several aspects of common life, and is the target of very active research in the international scene.

Economics, Markets, Institutions

The program aims at dealing with issues in political economy, applied public economics, the functioning of industries and markets, the impact of macroeconomics on productivity and growth. A distinctive feature of the Ph.D. program is the integration of theoretical, technical, and practical expertise, aimed to educate highly qualified professionals, who analyze, plan, and manage concrete interventions of political economy. Theoretical methodologies and models are generated and tested, through the systematic investigation of the real world, with a distinctive focus on concrete observation of markets and their actors. At the end of the program, students are able to identify commonalities as well as distinctive characters of economies, markets, and industries.

Management and Development of Cultural Heritage Ph.D. in cooperation with Politecnico di Torino

The program trains both researchers and professionals, able to operate at the highest levels of management of Cultural Heritage and Landscape, in both public and private institutions. The program integrates concepts and methods from several domains (humanities, economics, law, information technologies, material sciences) in the analysis of cultural heritage and landscape. The program provides a consistent multidisciplinary path where students are provided with competencies which nowadays cannot be obtained but through particular self-training initiatives. The job market today has to rely on various professional figures - thus incurring conflicts and standstills in the decision-making process - or is forced to choose only one competence among all the needed ones. A distinctive feature of the program is the involvement of Ph.D. students in projects, both on local and international scale, so as to make them familiar with the complex management of cultural heritage and landscape.

Political Systems and Institutional Change

The Ph.D. in Political Systems and Institutional Change is a multidisciplinary course analysing, in a comparative perspective, institutions in their historical, political, sociological, economic and legal features. Special attention will be devoted to processes of institutional change. The Ph.D. aims at forming political analysts able to: plan and manage collaborative and integrated processes at the international level; analyse and assess policies and institutional settings at a supranational, national and regional level; confront the specific problems of countries in transition towards democracy and a market economy.

Duration: 3 years

Language: Courses and seminars are held in English. Foreign Ph.D. students are required to attend an Italian Language and Culture Course.

Classes begin in March 2010.

Early Stage Researcher or PhD Placement at Interbank Lending and Bank Risk Measure in Konstanz University Germany 2009

2009-10-01T16:32:00.001-07:00

Proposed Start Date: September 2009 subject to finalisation of the contract

The Early Stage Researcher (ESR) in this project will work on measures to restore the interbank markets that are crucial for banks™ liquidity management, but mostly dried up during the crisis. The current external risk reporting of banks lacks credibility because the reported values at risk (VaR) turned out to be very small in relation to the reported depreciations on bank assets.

The project is divided in several steps.

The first step is to find out why the reported VaR were so misleading; is it because the underlying stochastic models are ignoring systemic risks, or because the time horizon of the underlying model is too short?

Second, can VaR be sufficiently improved to credibly communicate a bank's risk? If not, can stress tests be designed for that purpose? A more demanding approach is to combine different pieces of information that banks publish, which taken separately, might be insufficient, but when put together may be sufficient information for interbank lending.

This requires research on the synergies of different pieces of information and empirical testing. This research should be of a theoretical and empirical nature.

Third, the issue of quick changes in bank's risk through derivatives trading needs to be addressed.
Should banks report these big trades or should such trades be restricted to banks with stricter equity capital requirements?

Fourth, the ESR should differentiate systematic and non-systematic risk factors in bank risk positions to provide more precise insights into potential damages of lending to another bank.

Proposed Start Date: September 2009 subject to finalisation of the contract

Duration: 36 months

Financial Information: Salary plus allowances in line with Marie Curie FP7 requirements for ESRs.

Host Institution: Konstanz UniversityAcademic

Advisor: Professor Guenter Franke

Secondment 1: Erasmus University Rotterdam - 4 months

Secondment 2: Deutsche Bundesbank, McKinsey or Credit Suisse - 4 months, subject to confirmation

Eligibility:

Nationals or residents of Germany cannot apply.

At the time of appointment, applicants should have no more than 4 years experience (FTE) after graduation and should not have resided in the host country for more than 12 months in the last 3 years immediately before appointment.

To Apply: Applicants are requested to send the following documents to guenter.franke@uni-konstanz.de a curriculum vitae copies of academic transcripts and degree certificates proof of English proficiency (Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency, IELTS, TOEFL) a one-page statement of purpose about aptitude and motivation for pursuing the programme, two letters of recommendation from professors, the results of the GRE test.

to a new and dynamic research area and a strong background in Computer
Science, Physics, Mathematics, Statistics or another relevant
computational discipline. In particular, they should demonstrate very
strong programming skills in one or more major computer languages. A
good mathematical/ numerical background would be desirable, ideally
including probability theory and data modelling/neural network
techniques.

Successful candidates may be eligible for a research studentship award
from the University (equivalent to £12,940 per annum bursary plus the
payment of the standard UK student fees).

The envisaged research will take place in a vibrant and enthusiastic
research environment as a part of the Adaptive Systems Research Group
in the School of Computer Science at the University of
Hertfordshire. The university is located in Hatfield, less than 25

PhD Studentship in Chemical Engineering - University College

2008-06-23T00:02:00.001-07:00

PhD Studentship: Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Award

Modelling Rupture of CO2 Pipelines

Department of Chemical Engineering

Reducing carbon dioxide emissions is considered to be the most effective
way of tackling the effects of global warming. This will require the
large-scale capture, transportation and storage of CO2. In the case of
coal fired power generation plants, pressurised pipelines are considered
to be the most practical, and possibly the only option for transporting
the captured CO2 for subsequent storage.

Given the enormous amounts of CO2 contained in such pipelines (typically
several million tonnes), a prior knowledge of the release rate and
subsequent dispersion in the event of pipeline rupture is central to
assessing the failure impact. CO2 is toxic and when inhaled in large
concentrations can lead to asphyxiation.

This exciting PhD project aims to extend our award winning work
(http://www.ucl.ac.uk/chemeng/staff/mahgerefteh) to develop a computer
based model for predicting the failure consequences of CO2 pipelines.
The project carried out in close collaboration with a major industrial
partner is multidisciplinary involving a variety of subjects including,
fluid mechanics, mathematics, heat transfer, quantitative risk
assessment and computing. The experience gained is expected to equip the
prospective PhD graduate with job opportunities in a variety of
industrial sectors particularly in the oil and gas industry.

The successful candidate will be an outstanding First Class Chemical
Engineering or Mathematics graduate (although other relevant disciplines
will be considered) preferably with computing skills. The funding covers
full tuition fees plus maintenance over three years and is open to
suitably qualified overseas students.

UCL is consistently classed amongst the top Universities in the world.
The UCL Chemical Engineering department in particular received the
highest research rating in the most recent Government funded Research
Assessment Exercise placing it amongst the only three such departments
in the UK.

PhD Studentship in Programme Management - Cranfield Universit

2008-06-23T00:00:00.000-07:00

PhD Studentship

The mindsets of effective programme office managers: A phenomenographic study

International Centre for Programme Management

Cranfield School of Management - one of Europe's top management schools - is
offering this PhD studentship within its International Centre for Programme
Management, a world-leading hub for research into this important emerging
discipline. The studentship is tenable for four years from October 2008.

In business and government, programmes are used to transform strategies and
policies into desired outcomes and benefits. The 'programme office' is the
information hub for the programme, performing on behalf of the programme
leadership team a variety of functions associated with programme support. Some
programme offices have wider responsibilities for the maintenance of corporate
standards and processes.

There is a growing recognition that the role of programme office manager
requires an individual with a certain mindset, but little is known about the
conceptual attributes that make up that mindset. Phenomenography is an
established research approach for identifying and mapping the qualitatively
different ways in which people conceive a given aspect of reality, in this case
the work of a programme office manager. The approach leads to the identification
of the key attributes of conception at a number of levels (usually three of
four) that distinguish and explain why some individuals are more effective than
others.

Applications are invited from exceptionally qualified candidates for this fully
funded full-time studentship under the supervision of Dr David Partington.
Applicants should have a good first degree in a relevant discipline. Experience
of working on projects and programmes is desirable, although not essential. An
MBA or relevant specialist masters degree would be an advantage.

The studentship includes full payment of fees at the UK or overseas rate and
stipend of £12,940 per annum.

For an informal discussion about the project, please contact Dr David
Partington, tel +44 (0)1234 751122, email d.partington@..., Website
http://www.som.cranfield.ac.uk/som/research/centres/icpm/

The closing date for applications is 31 July 2008. Full details of the
application process, the PhD programme and other PhD projects are available on
the School's website at www.cranfield.ac.uk/som/phd or from the PhD Programme
