Postdoctoral Position in Advanced Packaging, Switzerland

/ January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

A position is available immediately in the advanced thermal packaging project at the IBM Research – Zurich laboratory for research on novel packaging approaches with respect to heat removal and power / signal delivery for high-performance 3D-chip stacks. This effort supports IBM’s microprocessor platform and will strengthen its position as global leader in innovative thermal management and packaging solutions.

Requirements

We are seeking highly motivated individuals who are interested in joining our multi-disciplinary research team to extend packaging technology for high-performance computing platforms in the exascale era. Enabling technologies are the vertical integration of microprocessors and memory dies, as well as silicon photonic transceiver modules to improve communication bandwidth. The successful candidate will have a strong interdisciplinary background in physics, engineering, and material science (PhD). Required is a solid understanding of state-of-the-art thermo-mechanical modeling approaches and reliability testing methods. A broad knowledge in micro-fabrication and thermo-mechanical design is beneficial. The scope of the work spans from applied materials research to the development of novel packaging concepts tailored to vertical integration.

Erasmus Mundus Masters in Management and Engineering of Environment and Energy

/ January 14, 2011 Leave a Comment

The ME3 Masters program extends over 2 years. It is composed of an academic period which lasts 3 semesters, and of an industrial or research project period, which covers the 4th semester.

For the 2011-2013 edition of the ME3 program, 3 options should be available. Students will have to indicate their preference for option during application process. The ME3 academic steering board will decide the final option for each accepted applicants which will be informed in their acceptance letter.

The Consortium of the European joint Masters of Science in Management and Engineering of Environment and Energy (ME3) is composed of five institutions :

– Ecole des Mines de Nantes (EMNantes), France which is the coordinating institution
– Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales de Madrid from Universidad Polytecnica de Madrid (UPM/ETSII), Spain
– Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (Royal Institute of Technology) (KTH), Sweden
– Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), Hungary
– Queen’s University of Belfast (QUB), Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

The first three institutions will host students during the academic part of the programme. The two last ones will participate in the teaching, and possibly may host students during the last semester devoted to the Master Thesis.

Scholarship Application Deadline:
Erasmus Mundus scholarship Category A is 15 December 2010 for paper applications, and 22 December 2010 for online applications.
The application deadline for candidates who apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship Category B is Spring 2011.
