Scholarship of Faculty of Computer Science and Technology Scholarship

Job Description: We are seeking five PhD students across a range of systems. In particular, we are seeking two PhD students to investigate the implications of photonic networks on future large-scale computer systems (such as data centres or scientific computers) with a focus on power consumption reduction. The work will involve modelling large systems of chip multiprocessors with photonic interconnect using FPGA-based emulation.

These two positions are funded by the EPRSC grant EP/I004157/1 (for more details see (http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/ViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/H040536/1)

We are seeking a further three PhD students for the ‘INTelligent Energy awaRE NETworks’ (INTERNET) project whose vision is to reduce the carbon footprint of ICT networks by at least an order of magnitude – along with a corresponding reduction in non-renewable energy consumption. PhD students would perform complimentary work across topics including: the investigation of energy-aware network protocol design and implementation for the migration of virtualised systems, performing research into the models of energy usage of networks in and between data centres, and the design and implementation of novel hardware-software interfaces. These three positions are funded by the EPSRC grant EP/H040536/1 (for more details see (http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/ViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/H040536/1)

Candidates should have a 1st class degree in computer science, electronic engineering, mathematics or a closely related discipline, ideally with experience in one or more of the following:

* Computer architectures

* Computer networks

* Virtualization and migration

* Physical layer digital and/or optical communications

* Digital design, FPGA programming, Hardware Description Languages

Application deadline: 1 December 2010

Scholarship for those students who have First or upper second class BSc or MSc in chemistry or related subjects

Job Description: Centre for Molecular Nano Science (CMNS) The Centre in collaboration with the School of Mathematics and Physics, University of Belfast has been awarded a research grant from The Leverhulme Trust to carry out a joint experimental and computational study of phospholipid monolayers adsorbed on the liquid mercury surface, and of their phase transformations driven by the application of an electric field.

This studentship will be specifically concerned with the experimental aspects of the work in particular to extend the knowledge of these classical interfaces, covering a wider range of phospholipids and investigating the stability of their binary mixtures as a function of the applied electric field. Moreover, experiments will quantify the effect on the monolayer properties and transitions of organic additives such as cholesterol, pyrene, as well as selected room temperature ionic liquids.

The analysis will focus especially on the mechanisms of phospholipid layer poration, which is analogous to the electroporation of bilayers and might find important applications in sensing technology and in medicine. An important feature of the work will be the use of techniques of Atomic Force Microscopy and Ellipsometry to support the findings from the electrochemical studies.

The work will be carried out in the laboratory of Professor Andrew Nelson who won the 2008 Royal Society Brian Mercer Award for his work on toxicity sensing systems (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b_YtG6Y3mc) and is co-ordinator of the EU FP7 ENNSATOX nanotoxicology research programme.

The student will be trained in electrochemical techniques in the laboratory of Professor Nelson. The student will attend general training activities, selected lectures on topics related to the project plan and travel to Belfast for scientific exchanges with the computational part of the collaboration.

The studentship covers all PhD fees for Home/EU students and a standard RCUK-equivalent maintenance grant for 3 years. Significant funding for travel, computing and consumables is included in the project grant from The Leverhulme Trust. The successful candidate will hold a first or upper second class BSc or MSc in chemistry or related subjects and will be classed as a Home/EU student. The studentship starts on 1 September 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Degree: First or upper second class BSc or MSc in chemistry or related subjects.

Location: Leeds, West Yorkshire

Salary: Not stated
