PhD Studentship within the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN Large Hardon Collider, Sweden: Physics and Astronomy

/ March 30, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Uppsala ATLAS group is part of the High Energy Physics group at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, and currently consists of three faculty members, one post-doctor and three graduate students. We are looking for an excellent and highly motivated PhD student with keen interest in experimental physics and competence within data analysis programs (e.g. C++ and ROOT). The PhD student will work on physics analysis of data from ATLAS and take part in the development of tools for distributed analysis on the grid needed for this purpose.

The PhD position is funded for four years, extendible to a maximum of five years including department duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching).

Postdoctoral Fellow/Senior Research Associate Positions at National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences, India

/ March 30, 2011 Leave a Comment

Applications are invited from eligible candidates for filling up of a post of “Post Doctoral Fellow/Senior Research Associate” on adhoc basis for the project entitled “Role of CNS Opportunistic Infections in Subsequent Development of HIV Encephalitis” under Dr.S.K.Shankar, Professor, Dept. of Neuropathology & Principal  Investigator. The National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences is a multidisciplinary Institute for patient care and academic pursuit in the frontier area of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences. The Lunatic Asylum which came into being in the latter part of the 19th Century was renamed as Mental Hospital in 1925 by the erstwhile Government of Mysore. This hospital and All India Institute of Mental Health established in 1954 by Government of India were amalgamated on 27th December 1974, and thus was formed the autonomous National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences (NIMHANS).
Eligibility: MD (Internal Medicine) or DNB (Internal Medicine) from any reputed Medical Institution/Medical College approved by Medical Council of India
Or MBBS with minimum of 3 years experience in Clinical research in any funded project Or PhD/MSc., in Biological Sciences who has submitted PhD The candidate should have aptitude for research in the field of HIV/AIDS/infectious diseases Experience in Neurohistology, Morphometry and Immunocytochemistry

Phd Position in Biomechanics and Engineering Design at K.U.Leuven, Netherlands

/ March 29, 2011 Leave a Comment

During minimally invasive (robotic) surgery (MIS), the surgeon cannot feel the forces he/she is exerting on the tissue, and is thus risking unwanted damage to the tissue. This PhD is part of an interdisciplinary project of which the ultimate goal is to impose safety margins on the surgical instruments to avoid tissue damage during robotic surgery. The focus lies on cardiovascular tissue.

This focus of this PhD will be to search for and/or design accurate models of cardiovascular tissue on the one hand, but fast models of this same tissue on the other hand. Accurate constitutive and finite element models are required to define the maximum allowable load a tissue can bear. On the other hand, fast models are required to estimate and apply these thresholds intraoperatively and thus in realtime during surgery. This research has computational as well as experimental aspects to it. There will be a close collaboration with cardiac surgeons, biotechnologists and the engineers of the division of production, machine design and automation.
