Beasiswa PhD Scholarship at The University of Queensland Australia

2009-01-27T15:13:00.004+07:00

2 PhD Scholarships in Biomaterials for Cochlear Implants

The University of Queensland With Cochlear Ltd and Aortech Pty Ltd
PhD Scholarships in Biomaterials – Next Generation Insulation for Cochlear Implants Currently, soft silicone materials are employed as insulation for implantable Cochlear electrode arrays. However
these materials have limited tensile properties and tear resistance,
thereby significantly hampering the scope for new and more complex
electrode array designs. The central aim of this project is to explore
new insulation materials with similar flexibility, biocompatibility,
biostability and electrical insulation to silicone, but with far
superior tensile and tear strength.
This will be achieved through the development of biomedical
polyurethane nanocomposites via a collaboratively- conceived and
executed project featuring significant cooperation between researchers
at UQ, Cochlear Ltd (Sydney) and Aortech Biomaterials (Melbourne). PhD
1 will have a strong polymer synthesis and processing focus, involving
the preparation of nanocomposites by various processing methods and
understanding structure-property relationships. PhD 2 will be more
concerned with biostability and biological interactions of the novel
materials and their various components.

The project team (and supervisors) includes: A/Prof Darren Martin, Prof Rod Minchin and Prof Peter Halley from The University of Queensland;
Dr Martin Svehla from Cochlear Ltd and Dr Ajay Padsalgikar from Aortech Biomaterials Pty Ltd. This project is funded by Cochlear, Aortech and the NHMRC.
Requirements: B.Eng., B.Sc. or Masters Degree in Materials or Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Biology or Biomedical Engineering.
Remuneration: Stipend – APA equivalent (tax-free and indexed) for 3 yrs.
Anticipated Commencement Date: early 2009

Beasiswa PhD Position at ETH Zurich

2009-01-27T15:08:00.007+07:00

PhD positions on sparse tensor approximation methods for high-dimensional transport
problems

The Seminar for Applied Mathematics of ETH Zuerich
(http://www.sam.math.ethz.ch/)offers a full PhD position in the
framework of a project on "Sparse Tensor Approximation Methods for
High-Dimensional Transport Problems".

Sparse tensor product approximations also known as sparse grids have
emerged as a powerful tool for the numerical treatment of
high-dimensional problems in areas as diverse as quantitative finance,
deterministic methods for stochastic PDEs, and data mining. The area
is still rapidly evolving and offers fascinating research
opportunities. Researchers at the Seminar for Applied Mathematics of
ETH Zuerich are among the leaders in the field.

In this project sparse tensor product approximation is to be explored
as a novel approach to kinetic equations, see
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jcp.2008.02.025 . The PhD project will
have a focus on efficient algorithms and data structures, which is
an exciting challenge in its own right. The PhD work will be jointly
supervised by Prof. C. Schwab and Prof. R. Hiptmair.

The positions is temporary and limited to 3-4 years after a three
month period of probation. The holder will be regular ETH research
staff and receive a gross salary of roughly 66,000 Swiss Francs (about
EUR 41.000, USD 55.000). The positions will involve teaching of
tutorial lectures, supervision of undergraduate students, and grading
of examinations equivalent to a total workload of about 10h/week.

Candidates must have a master or diploma degree in mathematics, a
(computational) engineering discipline, or in (computational) science.
Their education record should indicate strong interest and exceptional
skills in computer simulation as well as familiarity with important
numerical methods for the approximate solution partial differential
equations (finite elements, finite volumes, etc.). Experience with
object oriented programming in C++ is essential.

Knowledge of German is not required, but the candidates must possess
good communication skills and should be fluent in English, both oral
and in writing.

Applications should be sent electronically (as PDF files) to Ms.
Ballarin (ballarin@sam.math.ethz.ch). They must include
* a curriculum vita complete with date of birth and family status
* a complete record of academic education including grades and all
achievements.
* abstracts of theses (master etc.) and descriptions of projects done
before graduation. (include theses, reports and papers, if possible)
* Complete addresses (including e-mail) of two established academic
researchers who can give an assessment of the candidate's skills.

Deadline: March 31, 2009 (position may be filled on a first come first
served basis)

Beasiswa Ph.D. economics Erasmus University Rotterdam (Netherlands)

2008-11-15T20:32:00.001+07:00

2 Ph.D. positions at the Economic Department of the Erasmus University

Context. The candidates for this project will participate in the D&U
(Decision-and-Uncertainty; http://people.few.eur.nl/wakker/du/links.htm)
group. We are an enthusiastic and internationally active group,
specialized in decision theory, and we collaborate with psychologists,
mathematicians, management scientists, and health economists.

The Economics Department of the Erasmus University has more than 4000
students, and employs over 400 people. It has a long tradition of
research in a wide range of areas. Most of the research takes place
within the Tinbergen Institute in economics (http://www.tinbergen.nl)
and the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM;
http://www.erim.eur.nl/ERIM).

Title of the Project. Risk and Rationality: Using Empirical Findings
from Prospect Theory to Improve Rational Decisions in Health and Other
Fields.

Description. Prospect theory, the model for decision under risk
introduced by Kahneman & Tversky (1979), is immensely popular in many
fields. Its importance was recognized through the 2002 Nobel prize in
economics. Their paper is the 2nd most cited paper published in any
economic journal (see Table A.10 on p. 88 at
http://homepages.ulb.ac.be/~tcoupe/updaterevealedperformances.pdf).
Prospect theory assumes that, besides (i) rational factors based on
utility and additive probabilities that are studied in classical
approaches, other factors play a role. Such factors are (ii) people's
sensitivity towards (lack of) information, modeled through subjective
probabilities that may be nonadditive, and (iii) loss aversion-the
special sensitivity of people towards losses. These factors shed, for
instance, new light on the irrational reactions of people to financial
risks and on the damages that can result from such irrationalities.
Remarkably, only few theoretical results have been developed for
prospect theory, and empirical tests have so far been based on ad hoc
interpretations. This project will develop both theoretical foundations
and critical empirical tests for risk and for ambiguity (unknown
probabilities). It applies its findings primarily to the health domain,
and further to insurance, experimental economics, finance, psychological
judgment and decision making, and/or other areas, depending on the
candidate's background and interests.

Requirements. The desired candidates have a Master's degree in a
quantitative discipline. Knowledge of mathematics, health economics,
game theory, statistics, econometric analyses, psychological judgment
and decision, and/or programming skills are a plus.

Conditions. We search for two candidates. The positions will be for a
maximum of four years. The gross monthly salary will be minimally � 2000
in the first year, increasing to � 2,558 in the fourth year. There will
also be an 8% holiday allowance.

Applications. Please email applications, including a cover letter
(explanaining why you and this position fit together), and a CV, to
Peter Wakker (Wakker [at] few.eur.nl) as soon as possible. In the case
of future rounds we will ask for letters of recommendation.

Further Information can be obtained from either of the two supervisors,
namely

Professor Peter Wakker (http://people.few.eur.nl/wakker/index.html) and
Professor Han Bleichrodt (http://people.few.eur.nl/bleichrodt).

Application has to be received by 31. January 2009.

Scholarships for the Graduate Program in Economics and Finance CEMFI, Madrid (Spain)

2008-11-15T20:30:00.002+07:00

Scholarships for the Graduate Program in Economics and Finance
CEMFI, Madrid (Spain)

At CEMFI we train students for careers as professional or academic
economists. Our graduates acquire the quantitative tools and research
skills to work as economists in business, finance, government, and academia.

The basic graduate offering at CEMFI is its highly prestigious Master in
Economics and Finance. Unlike many Master programs in the US and
elsewhere, ours is self-contained and offers a well respected qualification.

CEMFI grants a subset of its Master students exemptions from the tuition
fee and/or scholarships for living expenses amounting up to EUR 10,000
per year. They are granted according to academic merit. In previous
years, the Fundaci�n Carolina, in cooperation with the Fundaci�n BBVA,
has endowed several scholarships for Latin American students of the
Master. If new grants are endowed, they will be announced on CEMFI�s web
page.

An important distinguishing feature of our Master is that it lasts for
two years, the second being essential for shaping the skills of our
graduates. The first year consists of basic graduate coursework and some
optional subjects. The second year includes specialized courses and
research training through a Master thesis. Our ratio of students to
faculty is between four and five. Thus we can devote a lot of attention
to each student. This is particularly important for the Master thesis,
where the faculty provides guidance to a unique degree.

Members of CEMFI�s faculty publish in top journals and are research
leaders in their fields. They are also editors of prestigious journals
and are key players at leading learned societies such as the European
Economic Association and the Econometric Society.

Our Master students get very good jobs as economists. For example, in
positions dealing with portfolio and risk management, macroeconomic
forecasting, policy evaluation, or microeconomic consultancy. CEMFI has
been building a reputation for more than 20 years and a degree from
CEMFI provides a strong signal of quality, regularly confirmed by the
market. Moreover, we run an experienced and efficient job placement service.

Students interested in furthering their research training, either
because they aim for a professional career with a stronger research
content or because they aim for an academic position, will continue to
develop their research skills for another three years and complete the
PhD program. Graduates from CEMFI�s PhD program have published papers
from their dissertation in top journals and we have an excellent record

Supervisors: Martin H. Johnson and Nick Hopwood

The Centre for Trophoblast Research at the University of Cambridge
aims to fund up to three PhD studentships at Wellcome Trust rates
starting in October 2009 for three years of full-time research
. We are
offering a project on the history of the placenta.

The placenta has a rich and important past that has yet to attract
sustained historical attention. Possible projects could focus on such
various aspects as anatomy, physiology and evolution, pathological
examination and legal regulation, midwifery, obstetric and lay
practices, and claims as to the placenta's special powers. There is
wide scope to choose a topic of interest in a period since 1750 and
with an appropriate geographical location.

Supervision will be provided by Martin H. Johnson (Physiology,
Development and Neuroscience) and Nick Hopwood (History and
Philosophy of Science). The project will benefit from participation
in the University's programme of historical research on generation
and reproduction and specifically on embryology.

Interested students (UK, EU or overseas) should have at least a high
upper second (or equivalent) in a first degree, preferably in the
biological sciences, and ideally also a strong performance in a
master's in history of science and/or medicine. We invite initial
expressions of interest, including a CV and sample of written work,

PhD research position in Bioinformatics & Machine Learning
Functional Genomics Unit, IJB & Machine Learning Group,
Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)
Brussels, Belgium

Position description :
Applications are invited for a full-time PhD research position at the Functional
Genomics Unit (FGU), Medicine Department, Institut jules Bordet (IJB), Belgium.
The researcher will get his/her PhD in the Machine Learning Group (MLG),
Computer Science Department, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Belgium.

The vacancy available to be filled in soon offers tenure of four years. The
researcher is expected to carry out fundamental research in Machine Learning
(MLG) and to take an active role in the applied research projects of the FGU,
which is funding the position.

The Functional Genomics Unit is a research group that carries out applied
research on genomics in breast cancer. Cutting-edge bio- technologies are used
to bring new insights in breast cancer biology.
These new discoveries are then brought to clinic (translational
research) in order to improve the management of breast cancer patients.

The Machine Learning Group is a research group that carries out theoretical
research on statistical machine learning, predictive modeling and computational
statistics, and takes part in several applied research projects in domains as
diverse as data mining, bioinformatics to biomedical engineering and wireless
sensor networks.

This inter-disciplinary position provides unique opportunities in
bioinformatics. Previous studies involving microarray and survival data in
breast cancer led to high impact publications (see
http://www.ulb.ac.be/di/map/bhaibeka/research.html
for an overview). The machine learning methods introduced in these articles deal
specifically with the high dimensionality of the microarray data and the
fitting/validation of models for survival prediction of the patients.

*Qualifications

Candidates are expected to attach their transcripts and a letter of
recommendation from their MSc supervisor or any other relevant person.

Applicants are expected to have strong programming skills, the ability to work
independently, strong interpersonal skills, good writing and oral communication.
Any research experience on data mining, machine learning, and statistical
analysis will be an asset as well as an experience in microarray data analysis.

Upon offer of a position, the candidates who are non-EU citizens are required to
obtain an appropriate long-term Schengen visa; further information is available
from their nearest Belgian embassy.

*Deadline

Applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible as positions will remain
open until filled in by a suitable candidate.

*Contact
