Post-Master’s or Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computational Nonlinear Dynamical Systems, USA

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Center for  Engineering Science Advanced Research (CESAR) in the Computer Science and  Mathematics (CSM) Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) seeks  candidates for innovative research in computational and theoretical nonlinear  dynamical systems.
Work will involve development of novel methodologies,  computer codes and algorithms to model the dynamics of semiconductor and fiber  lasers/amplifiers and laser arrays and their implementation on parallel  distributed multicore processor platforms. Successful candidates must have  proven experience in optics/lasers, nonlinear dynamical systems, and strong  computational skills. Programming skills in FORTRAN 95/2003 Linux and Windows  systems are desirable. The positions require MSc or, preferably, PhD degrees in  Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Theoretical  Physics, or related fields. Exceptional candidates with a BSc degree will also  be considered.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications may be submitted throughout the year, and appointments may begin at any time.

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Biophysics on 3D STEM, USA

/ January 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

The  Microscopy Group in the Materials Science and Technology Division at Oak Ridge  National Laboratory (ORNL) has a postdoctoral position available. We are  developing 3D scanning transmission electron microscopy, a novel method for  obtaining three-dimensional structural information about biological samples.  The technology is based on the principles of confocal microscopy but provides  higher resolution with the use of an aberration corrected scanning transmission  electron microscope (STEM). 3D STEM is a unique alternative for electron  tomography with potentially improved capabilities. The project is a collaboration  between ORNL and Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC). The position is  on 3D STEM imaging, deconvolution, and data analysis.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications may be submitted throughout the year, and appointments may begin at any time.

PhD Scholarship in Flow of Air Over Complex Forested Terrain, Denmark

/ January 20, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Wind Energy Division has an open PhD position concerning the flow of air over complex forested terrain. The PhD student will work within the research center for computational wind turbine aerodynamics and atmospheric turbulence, which is funded by the Danish Strategic Research Council running from 2010 to 2015. Qualifications Candidates should have a master’s degree in physics, meteorology, engineering or mathematics or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree. Experience with fluid dynamics or boundary layer meteorology, as well as good communication skills are considered advantageous for obtaining the position.

Approval and Enrolment
The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide.

Scholarship Application Deadline:15 February 2011
