PhD Scholarship in Modelling the fate and Optimizing the Removal of Selected Xenobiotic Organic Micro-Pollutanta from Point and Network Water Sources, Denmark: Engineering

/ January 13, 2011 Leave a Comment

This PhD scholarship is funded by the DTU Environment.
The overall aim of the PhD fellowship is to close the current knowledge gap, existing between state-of-the-art process models, predicting the fate of xenobiotic organic micro-pollutants (XOMs) and full-scale XOM removal efficiencies observed in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Major outputs of this project shall be a modeling framework developed for assessing the fate of selected pharmaceuticals in WWTPs.

Qualifications
At the date of appointment candidates must hold an MSc degree in engineering sciences, natural sciences and/or mathematics, preferably with a specialization in two of the following fields: bio-/chemical/environmental engineering, statistics, process modeling and Bayesian analysis. The successful candidate must be an efficient team worker, have good communication skills, and have a critical approach to formulation and testing of hypotheses. Practical experience (e.g., laboratory, process modelling) is an advantage but not a prerequisite. Any former process modeling experience in using the software WEST will be considered as an advantage.

PhD Engineering and Integration of Electrical Domain-Wall Memory Devices, Netherlands

/ January 13, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Department of Applied Physics at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has a scientific and technical staff of about 90 and 60 people, respectively, as well as 110 graduate and 375 undergraduate students. The research in the group Mesoscopic Transport Phenomena focuses on fluid dynamics at length scales ranging from 10 nm to 1 mm. It comprises both fundamental and application-inspired topics ranging from fluid physics at nano-scales to manufacturing processes of optoelectronic devices. Current and commencing projects concern dip- and die-coating of chemically patterned substrates, flows driven by temperature and concentration gradients, flows dominated by van der Waals forces as well as flows involving phase changes.

Spin-torque based magnetic domain wall (DW) memories can offer large storage densities by storing multiple bits (domain walls) in a single magnetic nanowire. Stacking of the nanowires in a back-end-of-line (BEOL) process may even allow 3D integration. This project emphasizes the engineering and application aspects and focusses on key technological issues of magnetic domain walls such as thermal stability, stabilization of DWs at notches or other pinning centers, reproducibility of motion (influence of line-edge roughness, temperature dependence), critical current density, heating, high-frequency read and write elements, and how these evolve as dimensions are scaled towards sub-100 nm wires. TU/e will contribute by engineering novel materials, e.g. with perpendicular magnetization or low damping, allowing for a unique tunability of damping, spin polarization, and pinning potential, all crucial parameters for the efficiency of future DW memory devices.

Appointment and salary

We offer:

* A challenging job in a young, ambitious research team
* A highly dynamical, international, and multidisciplinary research environment
* A full-time appointment for four years (start date as soon as possible)
* Gross monthly salary from €2042 (first year) to €2612 (fourth year) in line with the Collective Agreement for Dutch Universities
* An attractive package of fringe benefits, including end-of-year allowance, a personal development program for Ph.D students (Proof program), and excellent sport facilities

Scholarship Application Deadline: 31/01/2011
