/ January 18, 2011 1 Comment

Two Marie-Curie Early Stage Researcher (ESR; PhD) positions in “Graphene based Supramolecular Organic Electronics” are available at ISIS, University of Strasbourg (France) within the frame work of “GENIUS” Marie Curie Initial Training Network funded by the EU . We are looking for highly motivated graduate students with a strong background in one or more of the following fields: chemistry and materials science, surface science, solid state physics, supramolecular chemistry. A Master Degree in Chemistry or Materials Science and excellent command of English is required. Appointees can be nationals of any country other than the country of the premises of the host organization where they will carry out their project. However they must not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of the host for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to their recruitment. Please send your CV including at least two references and a motivation letter to Paolo Samorì, “samori-at-isis-ulp.org”. Complete applications will be reviewed as received.

PhD Positions at ILLC, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands: Humanities and Science

/ January 18, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Institute for Logic, Language and Computation is a research institute of the University of Amsterdam, in which researchers from the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Humanities collaborate. Its central research area is the study of fundamental principles of encoding, transmission and comprehension of information. Research at ILLC is interdisciplinary, and aims at bringing together insights from various disciplines concerned with information and information processing, such as logic, mathematics, computer science, linguistics, cognitive science, artificial intelligence and philosophy. Research is organized in three research groups: Logicand Computation (LoCo), Logic and Language (LoLa) and Language and Computation (LaCo). For the research done in the different groups, please have a look at “Research at ILLC” (below). For the research done by the individual staff members of ILLC, see People at ILLC (below). and check their personal webpages.

Tasks

* Complete and defend a PhD thesis within the official appointment duration (see text below).
* Regularly present intermediate research results at international workshops and conferences, and publish them in proceedings and journals
* Collaborate with the researchers in relevant other parts of ILLC
* Participate in the organization of research activities and events at ILLC, such as conferences, workshops and joint publications
* Assist in teaching activities of ILLC (depending on your appointment)

The PhD candidate at the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam will be appointed for 4 years fulltime under de terms of the employment currently valid for the Faculty. A contract will be given in the first instance for 1.5 years, with an extension for the following 2.5 years on the basis of a positive evaluation.

Requirements
* A Master’s degree with excellent grades in a relevant field, such as logic, computer science, mathematics, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy or cognitive science
* Good academic writing and presentation skills
* Good social and organizational skills

Scholarship Description: 15 March 2011 (for the FNWI position) or February 1, 2011 (for the FGw positions). Candidates who wish to be considered for all three positions should follow the FGw deadline.

Erasmus Mundus Master in Materials Science Exploring Large Scale Facilities(MaMaSELF)

/ January 18, 2011 Leave a Comment

Modern life and globalisation imply new and additional exigencies for scientists and scientific engineers in the field of scientific and industrial competitiveness. This holds specifically for the development of new technologies and new materials which are important key-products and which contribute to the technological and scientific competitiveness of highly industrialized countries. The characterisation of these materials and also the optimising of technologies strongly demand sophisticated methods, some of them uniquely available at “Large Scale Facilities” using neutrons or synchrotron radiation.

MaMaSELF is a two-year full time European Masters program in Materials Science, building up a European platform, strongly involving “Large Scale Research Facilities”. The Masters degree is delivered by two or three out of four universities: Rennes1 (F), Torino (I), TUM and LMU at München (DE).

This Master aims to promote the scientific collaboration between Universities, Large Scale Facilities and Industry. Its main objective is to achieve skilled scientists in Materials Science together with an advanced knowledge in the use of Large Scale Facilities for the characterization of high tech materials.

Criteria are three successful years of full time studies spent in a national BSc course (or equivalent) in Materials Science or related areas (Physics, Chemistry, Geoscience etc…) together with a proficiency level of scientific English, e.g. TOEFL210/550, IELTS6.5, or similar. The enrolment will be limited to 45 students per year to guarantee an excellent professor/student ratio. Several important European Large Scale Facilities (ESRF and ILL (Grenoble, France), LLB Saclay, France), DESY (Hamburg, Germany) and FRM II (Munich, Germany), ELETTRA, Italy) strongly support this Master and will co-organize the summer school and will host students in the fourth semester to follow research activities.

Strongly multidisciplinary lectures in Chemistry, Physics and Material Science will be entirely given in English. Students will receive a double/multiple Master degree in Material Science, giving direct access to further PhD studies.

Scholarship Application Deadline:26/01/2011 for CAT A Scholarship (non-EU students) and 20/05/2011 for CAT B Scholarship
