/ March 31, 2011 Leave a Comment

The College of Engineering has  EngD positions available for October 2011, funded by the Steel Technology Research and Innovation Partnership (STRIP). Applicants must have a good first degree in a subject relevant to their project of interest. Applications from graduates in Engineering, Science, Mathematics and Technology will be accepted. Due to funding restrictions, only students from the UK/EU are eligible to apply. These are Steel Training Research and Innovation Partnership (STRIP) funded positions, and include full fees plus an annual stipend of £16,600. Funds for other expenses, including conferences and fieldwork, are also available. Research projects available within this scheme are heavily linked with a variety of industrial partners, including the UK’s largest manufacturing company Tata. Full details of these specific projects can be found on the STRIP website from March onwards. The Steel Training Research and Innovation Partnership (STRIP) invests in the Welsh metals and manufacturing industry by training high calibre people from both an academia and industrial background in metallurgy, corrosion, coatings, manufacturing, mechanical properties and more. The EngD is a PhD level qualification that involves a taught component and a large, 4 year research project defined by and undertaken in  industry.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 30 April 2011

University of Hamburg, Doctorate Programme 2011 in Germany: Neural Multimodal Integration & Neural Speech Localisation

/ February 20, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Knowledge Technology Research Group is looking to fill two fulltime PhD studentships funded by the DFG in the context of the International Research Training Group CINACS  . This project offers a 3-year doctoral programme based at the University of Hamburg and at Tsinghua University, Beijing. The dissertation projects will be carried out at the University of Hamburg. A part of the studies (a few months) can be performed at Tsinghua University. The interdisciplinary programme provides exciting research opportunities in multisensory perception and cross-modal information processing.
The candidate is expected to conduct research in the area of Knowledge Technology and Neural Network Robotics. In these two projects we are particularly focused on working to-wards a) neural multimodal integration based on the superior colliculus and b) neural sound localisation for speech processing based on the inferior colliculus. We use an attractive humanoid robot scenario where humanoid robots interact with humans based on multimodal information. This includes the integration of an ambient environment with new cognitive humanoid robots.
Academic degree preferably in computer science or related qualifying the holder to carry out the above-mentioned responsibilities. In particular, an MSc or equivalent in computer science, artificial intelligence, robotics, engineering or equivalent is essential. Knowledge of artificial intelligence, neural networks or robotics and an interest to work in an interdisciplinary environment will be important. The post involves international travel. We are looking for excellent programming skills, e.g. in C++, C, Python, Java etc. We are also looking for very good communication skills and teamwork, including very good knowledge of English. Knowledge of German would be desirable.
The PhD stipend is for three years (2 plus 1) and fulltime.
The university intends to increase the number of women amongst its academic personnel and encourages qualified women to apply. In compliance with the Hamburg Equal Opportunity Law, if applicants are equally qualified, preference will be given to qualified female applicants or qualified disabled applicants.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 28.2.2011
