PhD Scholarship in Materials Physics, Uppsala University, Sweden

/ March 14, 2011 Leave a Comment

In classical hydrodynamics a non slip boundary condition at the solid – liquid interface is generally assumed for flowing media. With increasing sensitivity of experimental techniques, like e.g. the surface force apparatus (SFA), this assumption was challenged and surface slip was experimentally established in many liquids. However, the microscopic origin of wall slip is not understood and under heavy debate. The project aims to proceed towards an understanding of wall slip on the atomic length scale by combining laboratory techniques with scattering experiments at international facilities. This quest is driven both by a fundamental interest and a large potential for applications.

The successful Ph.D. applicants will explore complex liquids at functionalized surfaces. The work involves sample production using modern coating techniques as well as advanced physical characterization using e.g. AFM, rheology, contact angle as well as x-ray and neutrons scattering.

PhD Scholarship on Nordic Historiography beyond Methodological Nationalism, Denmark

/ March 9, 2011 Leave a Comment

Funded by the Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils for the Humanities and the Social Sciences (NOS-HS) hosted by the University of Tampere, Finland .The successful applicant will define his/her own research project within the area of Nordic historiography after 1850 applying a transnational/comparative perspective. He/she is expected to be enrolled at the Graduate School of the Faculty of Humanities in Copenhagen from 1 September 2011. The PhD scholarship is a three-year position.

Research proposals should explore Nordic norms, standards and practices of academic knowledge production in the field of history. Furthermore, they should focus on a) the role of Nordic networks in the construction of history, and/or b) the role of history and historians in the construction of ‘Norden’ as a historical region.

Scholarship Application Deadline:16 May 2011 at 12 noon
