PhD Positions at CIMNE/UPC, Barcelona: Computational Mechanics/Physics

/ January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

The International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) is seeking candidates for PhD studies.
Students will belong to the newly created Computational Mathematics and Physics department, which will be focused on the development of computational methods for the numerical approximation of partial differential equations (PDEs).
The creation of this group is funded by the Starting Grant COMFUS,recently awarded to Dr. Santiago Badia by the European Research Council
(ERC). COMFUS is a five-year project that aims to advance in the field of numerical methods for fusion reactors technology. It involves the numerical approximation of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), electromagnetics and plasma physics.
We are looking for motivated engineers, mathematicians and physicists with background on finite element methods, numerical analysis and/or parallel computing.
Some of the active lines of research of the group are: finite element formulations for thermally coupled MHD, MHD turbulence modeling, Vlasov-Maxwell solvers, fluid-structure interaction, linear solvers for sparse saddle-point matrices and parallel computing.

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Cancer Epidemiology and Behavioral Research, USA

/ January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Division of Health Behavior Research in the Department of Internal Medicine and the Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO are seeking applicants for a post-doctoral fellowship position in cancer epidemiology and behavioral research. This fellowship focuses on the development of research expertise in epidemiology and behavioral research partly within the context of a National Cancer Institute-funded study focused on the geographic variation of colorectal cancer survival.

The environment of the Division of Health Behavior Research fosters collaboration with a multidisciplinary group of clinical and non-clinical researchers at Washington University School of Medicine and the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute Comprehensive Cancer Center. Other cancer-related research within the Division of Health Behavior Research includes quality-of-life studies, cancer-related behavioral studies, and epidemiologic studies relating to geographic variation in cancer prevention and control.

Qualifications: Qualified individuals must hold a doctoral level degree (Ph.D., M.D., DrPH, or equivalent) and must be a US citizen or have permanent resident status. Salary is commensurate with experience and year doctorate received. This training position is of two year duration. Health insurance benefit is available. Start date can be negotiated.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Until Filled

MENA Scholarship Programme 2011

/ January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

The MENA Scholarship Programme aims to contribute to capacity building within organizations and institutions in the six selected countries: Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman and Syria. Moreover, a network of over 100 alumni positively contributes to the relations between their respective countries and the Netherlands.

Scholarships are only available for short courses included on the MENA course list 2010. Scholarship applications for participation in other courses will not be considered. A MENA scholarship is a contribution to the costs of the chosen short course. The following items are covered: subsistence allowance, international travel costs, visa costs, tuition fee, medical insurance and an allowance for study materials. The Dutch institution pays the MENA allowances to the scholarship holder.

The allowances are considered to be sufficient to cover one person’s living expenses during the study period. The fellowship holders must cover any other costs from their own resources.

Rules & Regulations

The Programme is governed in general by the Rules & Regulations of the Netherlands Fellowship Programmes, although there are exceptions for certain procedures (securing placement, selection of candidates). Selected candidates will receive a copy of the NFP
Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 March 2011 or 1 July 2011
