PhD Positions in Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic, Utrecht University, Netherlands

/ March 21, 2011 Leave a Comment

Providing clinical information on the toxicity of hazardous chemicals in humans in emergency situations is not straightforward. One major obstacle is that human data on toxicity of chemicals are scarce. Data on the toxicity of chemicals are available only from animal and in vitro studies, and from accidental chemical exposure of humans.

We are looking for an enthusiastic graduate (MSc) with a background in the field of (environmental) health sciences, or biomedical sciences. The candidate should have strong organisational, communication and writing skills (in Dutch and English). We are looking for a team player who is able to work independently. Experience in the field of exposure assessment or kinetic modeling will be an advantage.Candidates from the European Union and North America are eligible for this position.

Scholarship Application Deadline:21 March 2011

PhD and Postdoctoral Positions, Tilburg Center for Logic and Philosophy of Science, Netherlands

/ March 21, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Tilburg Center for Logic and Philosophy of Science (TiLPS) invites applications for two four-year full-time PhD positions and one two-year postdoc position.Individuals that are encouraged to apply have an interest in logical and computational theories of ordinary reasoning, natural logic, and/or linguistic semantics and want to investigate these topics in a setting of tableau theorem proving and model checking. The positions are part of the program “Towards Logics that Model Natural Reasoning”, funded by a Free Competition grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) and led by Reinhard Muskens.

We expect the willingness to work in an international interdisciplinary research environment. The PhD candidates will receive a starting salary of 2042 Euro gross per month in the first year. The salary in the last year is 2612 Euro. The postdoctoral researcher will receive a starting salary ranging from 2977 to 3195 Euro gross per month, depending on experience.Applications (in English) should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a two-page research proposal, and the names of two references. Only applications made with the help of our Application Wizard will be taken into consideration.

Scholarship Application Deadline:April 15, 2011.

PhD Position in Ultracold Atomic Gases in Amsterdam, Netherlands

/ March 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

There is an open PhD position (4 years, full salary) in the atomic, molecular and laserphysics group of the VU University Amsterdam to setup an experiment for an ultracold mixture of metastable helium and rubidium.

The aim of the project is to observe Efimov trimers in an ultracold mixture of metastable helium and rubidium atoms. The large mass ratio between these two atomic species results in a dramatic reduction of the spacing between successive HeRbRb Efimov states, allowing a first experimental test of the periodicity of the Efimov spectrum. This research will lead to new insight in the emerging field of few-body physics with ultracold atoms, with the aim to better understand and control strongly interacting quantum matter.

Within the PhD project a new infrastructure for ultracold rubidium (87Rb) has to be built up and merged with an existing apparatus for laser cooling of metastable helium (including source and Zeeman slower).

We are searching for an experimental physicist who has already gathered experience in the field of laser cooling and trapping of atoms.

Starting date from 1st June 2011.
