The Universities of Bristol, Exeter and Bath have come together to form one of the UK’s largest Centres of postgraduate research training for social scientists in fields ranging from economics and human geography to quantitative methodology and psychology.

Together, the three Universities educate over 5000 masters and 1600 doctoral students in the social sciences. The new Centre will draw on the established research excellence of the partners, including the expertise of more than 750 social science research staff. This represents one of the largest groupings of social scientists in the UK.

The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) has granted doctoral training center status to the collaboration. The South West Doctoral Training Center (SWDTC) has been accredited to offer a hub of world-class social sciences research. As one of only 21 Centers in the UK, the SWDTC will be part of a national network to be launched in October 2011 that will train a new generation of social scientists. The SWDTC has been allocated 41 studentships per Annam.

The Saarbrücken Graduate School of Computer Science provides an optimal environment for pursuing doctoral studies in computer science at an internationally competitive level. As a student, you undergo research oriented training and experience a stimulating and scientifically challenging atmosphere. Advised by internationally renowned scientists, you can participate in one of the many research groups and find your way into top notch research.
Talented students with strong interest in research who hold a Masters or an excellent Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or in a related field can apply.
Financial support during both phases (of course assuming adequate progress) will be provided. During the preparatory phase starting after your BSc degree, this support comes in the form of scholarships (800 € per month) or teaching and research support contracts. During the research and dissertation phase, you are supported in the form of stipends (about 1400 € per month) or of research or teaching assistantships.
There are currently no tuition fees, only a student fee of 140 € per semester which gives you free access to public transportation and reduced student rates at the university cafeteria and for many other public services (museums, concerts).

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position as part of a Swedish funded research program, which aims at applying synchrotron X-ray techniques to study in-situ some of the fundamental steps involved in several oxidative processes. The task will be to design, assemble and test electrochemical cells suited to the demands of a particular experiment. Demonstrated practical experience with electrochemical equipment and knowledge of the X-ray absorption technique are necessary.

Eligibility requires a PhD degree in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering or materials science awarded not more than 5 years before the application date.
The MAX-laboratory is a Swedish National Laboratory in Lund, Sweden. It presently consists of three electron storage rings and provides photons from IR up to the hard X-ray regime, serving 800 scientists a year.
