PhD Research Fellowship in Analysis and Design of Civil Engineering Structures, Denmark

/ January 25, 2011 Leave a Comment

A position as a PhD Research Fellow in Analysis and Design of Civil Engineering Structures at the Department Technology and Innovation is available as of 1 March 2011 for a three-year period.

The purpose of the project is to develop plasticity based models for design and strength prediction of various types of structural joints between reinforced concrete structural components such as panels and slabs. The project includes analytical and numerical studies as well as experimental investigations.

Candidates with a M.Sc. degree in civil- or structural engineering, a strong background in concrete mechanics and documented experiences in structural testing are invited to apply.

The successful applicant will be enrolled as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of Engineering within the Research Training Program of Applied Mathematical Modeling.

Appointment as a PhD Research Fellow is for three years (5+3 program). Employment stops automatically at the end of the period. The holder of the Fellowship is not allowed to have other paid employment during the period.

The successful applicant will be employed in accordance with the agreement of 1 October 2008 on salaried PhD scholars between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations).

The successful candidate will be enrolled at this university in accordance with faculty regulations and the Danish Ministerial Order on the PhD Program at the Universities (PhD executive order).

PhD Studentship and Postdoctoral Position in Computational Systems Biology, Berlin

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

Biology has developed into a quantitative, information-driven science.
We are seeking fellows in the new Research Training Group Computational Systems Biology (CSB) which focuses on the system-level
understanding of biological data using computational methods. CSB is embedded in the thriving Berlin life-science environment and involves
high-ranking research institutions such as Humboldt-University zu Berlin, Free University Berlin, Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin,
Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics and Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine Berlin-Buch.
We offer 12 PhD fellowships and 1 postdoctoral position (TV/L E13) in
the following areas:

(a) Structural investigation of protein-protein and protein-RNA
interactions and their role in molecular networks of the living cell
(b) Detailed models of cellular processes on different levels
(c) Reverse engineering for prediction of genetic networks from new
types of data and
(d) Spatio-temporal organization of networks.

We are looking for highly-motivated students with a strong interest in systems biology and mathematical modelling. Successful applicants must hold the equivalent of a master’s level degree in life sciences, mathematics, physics or computer sciences. The PhD fellowship
comprises a monthly stipend which is initially granted for 2 years and which can be extended for another 12 months. We offer an excellent
training program in computational systems biology, supervision by at least two experienced scientists, and multifarious opportunities for
developing local and international collaboration.

Applications (one PDF-file containing cover letter, CV, master/diploma certificate, 1-page project description, and names and addresses of 2 referees)should be sent preferably via email.

MathMods – Erasmus Mundus MSc Scholarship

/ January 20, 2011 Leave a Comment

2-year Master’s Course called MathMods – Mathematical Modelling in Engineering: Theory, Numerics, Applications.
Courses are given in English and students will be spending their 2 years in at least two of the five European universities that made up the MathMods Consortium:
– University of L’Aquila, Italy
– Autonomous University of Barcelona, Catalonia
– University of Hamburg, Germany
– Gdansk University of Technology, Poland
– University of Nice – Sophia Antipolis, France. Applicants must have obtained a recognized Bachelor’s Degree (BS, BSc, SB, etc.) – or a degree at the same level of an academic Bachelor’s Degree, for instance its equivalent from a college, university, or technical school of high standing, or 180 ECTS credits in the European system – in one of the following (or equivalent) fields:
* Applied Mathematics
* Mathematics with a good background in Physics
* Physics with a good background in Mathematics
* Engineering with a large background in Mathematics and Physics.

Students in their final year of undergraduate study may be admitted on condition that their Bachelor’s degree is awarded before the enrolment on MathMods MSc. The accomplishment of the Bachelor’s studies must be documented no later than 15 August 2011.
16-arrow-right Language certificate

All applicants whose native language is not English are required to prove a satisfactory level of spoken and written English, certified by:

* TOEFL: minimum 550 for PBT / 213 for CBT / 80 for IBT. You may send the TOEFL certificate simply as a photocopy or you may send it directly through ETS. Use these data when adding us as a new score recipient: Code number: 3676, Institution: University of L’Aquila.
* IELTS: 6.0 points
* CPE: Grades A, B, C
* CAE: Grades A, B
* or equivalent to the above.

The test must have been taken within the four years immediately preceding the requested semester of admission and be valid at the time of enrolment.

If applicants don’t have an English certificate by the deadline, we may also accept a temporary certificate by the Director/Coordinator of the Bachelor’s Degree study programme (or an academic in that group) stating that the applicant is so fluent in English that s/he can understand and discuss high level scientific topics. If possible, the letter should be signed either by a native English speaker academic full Professor or by an academic full Professor in English language (with full contacts included). Then, if you are selected, you will have to send an official certificate (see the list above) no later than 15 August 2011.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 31 January 2011
