Germany : PhD Position in Soil Science

2013-10-07T11:37:00.001+05:30

The Soil Sciences at the Martin Luther University Halle offer a doctoral researcher position by 1 December 2013 for three years. Salary is TV-L E13 (65%), according to the German TV-L system.

Background
With rock phosphorus resources becoming increasingly depleted, development of more efficient use of phosphorus is a major near-future research task. In response, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft - DFG sponsors a large-scale research programme on Ecosystem Nutrition: Forest Strategies for Limited Phosphorus Resources, aiming at studying the mechanisms of the relative efficient phosphorus cycling
within forest ecosystems.

Objectives and work schedule
With mineral sources of phosphorus become increasingly scarce with progressing ecosystem development, forests start recycling organic phosphorus. Inorganic phosphorus forms tend to be bound strongly to secondary minerals, thus, it is hardly available to plants but also not leached from soil. Instead, phosphorus leaching losses tend to be governed by mobile organic forms, whatever state the ecosystem is in. Microbial compounds such as nucleotides and nucleic acids seem to form the most mobile fraction of dissolved organic phosphorus in soils,
while plant-derived compounds such as phytate are less prone to leaching. However, those potentially mobile microbial compounds are labile to enzymatic hydrolysis, thus, the phosphorus contained may be taken up by plants, thus, minimizing the phosphorus leaching losses of recycling ecosystems.

The proposed research aims at understanding the chemical characteristics of dissolved organic phosphorus compounds controlling their mobility, the controls on the composition of dissolved organic phosphorus, and if dissolved organic phosphorus is plant available. We will collect forest floor seepage water and solutions from mineral soils along a gradient of phosphorus availability. These solutions will be analyzed for chemical organic phosphorus species, using
spectroscopic methods (basically NMR, complemented by XPS and XANES analyses on selected samples), and for enzymatic release of the phosphorus contained (in combination with spectroscopic methods). This approach will inform on mobile and labile dissolved organic phosphorus compounds. Similar analyses will be carried out on solutions deriving from other proposed experiments on potential controls (drought, pH) on dissolved phosphorus release, in order to track changes in composition, thus, chemical and biological reactivity of dissolved
organic phosphorus. Laboratory assays will be used to address the potential mobility of organic phosphorus species (sorption experiments, in combination with spectroscopic methods) as well as experiments with labelled compounds. The latter will address the potential plant uptake of dissolved organic phosphorus, either after enzymatic hydrolysis or by direct of small molecules.

Requested qualifications
M. Sc. or equivalent degree in forest science, agricultural sciences, geosciences, geoecology, environmental sciences or related disciplines, preferably with a strong background in soil science or geoscience, as well as experiences in field and laboratory studies. The field work requires a stable physical condition and a certain degree of flexibility to adapt to different working environments.

Netherlands : Two PhD candidates to work on Process Mining

2013-10-05T20:46:00.002+05:30

The Architecture of Information Systems (AIS) group of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) in collaboration with Perceptive Software, a business unit of Lexmark International, are looking for

Two PhD candidates to work on Process Mining

The Data Science Centre Eindhoven (DSC/e) is TU/e’s response to the growing volume and importance of data (http://www.tue.nl/dsce/). One of the initiatives of DSC/e is the “Adding Value to Network and Web Data” Impulse program aiming at supporting excellent research and more intensive collaboration with innovative organizations such as Perceptive Software.

The AIS group is one of the leading groups in the exciting new field of process mining (www.processmining.org). Process mining techniques focus on process discovery (extracting process models from event logs), conformance checking (comparing normative models with the reality recorded in event logs), and extension (extending models based on event logs). The work resulted in the development of the ProM framework that is widely used in industry and serves as a platform for new process mining techniques used by research groups all over the globe. Moreover, many of the techniques developed in the context of ProM have been embedded in commercial tools. See also www.processmining.org.

Perceptive Software builds process and content management software that help organizations to bring business processes under control that deal with both structured and unstructured information (seehttp://www.perceptivesoftware.com/). Its products include state-of-the-art process management tools. The company and its predecessor in the Netherlands, Pallas Athena, have been closely working together with the AIS group for more than 15 years in areas like process modeling, case handling, simulation, and process mining. In 2012, the Perceptive BPM Research center was established at TU/e to strengthen the mutual cooperation.

In the context of DSC/e's Impulse program we are looking for two PhD candidates to work on process mining:

PhD 1 will work on the new process cube notion where ideas from process mining, big data, and OLAP technologies are combined to answer a variety of questions. Event data are sliced and diced and one can drill-down to apply more detailed process mining analyses. This is also closely related to managing collections of process models, dealing with huge data sets, and distributed process mining.

PhD 2 will work on analysis techniques that help organizations to detect trends within their own operations on the basis of the hybrid and vast amounts of data that are processed and stored by the enterprise systems they use. The idea is to integrate outcomes from process mining analyses, social network analyses, and natural language processing to obtain new insights on how they perform as a whole and for specific departments/products/customers.

These projects will be supervised by prof. Wil van der Aalst (vdaalst.com) and prof. Hajo Reijers (reijers.com).

Requirements

We are looking for two candidates that meet the following requirements:

a solid background in Computer Science or Information Systems with an interest in process mining;
knowledge of data mining and machine learning and/or process modeling and formal methods (demonstrated by a relevant Master);
candidates from non-Dutch or non-English speaking countries should be prepared to prove their English language skills;
good communicative skills in English, both in speaking and in writing;
moreover, candidates are expected to realize research ideas in terms of prototype software, so software development skills are needed.

Note that we are looking for candidates that really want to make a difference and like to work on things that have a high practical relevance while having the ability to work in one of the strongest research groups in the world.

Appointment and salary

PhD 1 will be employed by the TU/e using the standard conditions for Dutch universities. Seehttp://w3.tue.nl/en/services/dpo/conditions_of_employment/tue_conditions_of_employment/for more information on working at TU/e, salary, fringe benefits, etc.

PhD 2 will be employed by Perceptive Software as a junior researcher. Seehttp://www.perceptivesoftware.com/company/careers for more information on a career within Perceptive Software.

Application: Interested candidates are requested to send an application by e-mail to Mrs. Ine van der Ligt (e-mail: wsinfsys@tue.nl) with the subject field “Process Mining Vacancies AIS”.

The application should consist of the following parts:

motivational letter;
a curriculum vitae;
copies of diplomas.

Applications should be received by November 1st, 2013. In the application, candidates should relate their expertise to process mining research (cf.www.processmining.org) and describe their language and software development skills.
