PhD student position in air quality modeling in Switzerland

Written by LOWONGAN KERJA TERBARU on 06:05

The Paul Scherrer Institut is a centre for multi-disciplinary research and
one of the world's leading user laboratories. With its 1200 employees it
belongs as an autonomous institution to the Swiss ETH domain and
concentrates its activities on solid-state research and material sciences,
elementary particle and astrophysics, energy and environmental research as
well as on biology and medicine.

The Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry (LAC) is engaged in air quality and
climate research by field studies, smog chamber experiments and chemical
transport models.


We are offering a*** PhD Student* position in the field of*** Air quality
modeling*
The chemical composition of particulate matter was recently measured and
analyzed in several field campaigns at different locations in unprecedented
detail. This provides a unique opportunity to evaluate 3-dimensional
photochemical models including emissions, meteorological transport, gasphase
and aerosol chemistry. The challenges are on the one hand to get the
boundary layer meteorological processes right on the other hand to get the
emissions right. Recent research has shown that one also needs to revisit
the assumptions concerning the formation processes leading to secondary
organic aerosols.

The project will focus on aerosol formation processes in Switzerland and
Europe. An intensive collaboration is planned with another PhD student
focusing on meteorology and with a Canadian research group. A competitive
Salary will be available.

*Your tasks***

- Use the meteorological models MM5 and/or the Alpine Model (aLMo) in
combination with the chemical transport model CAMx in various
configurations

- Improve the gaseous emissions, e.g. concerning biogenic
sesqui-terpene emissions
- Improve the primary aerosol emissions (especially from
domestic wood burning)
- Use and/or develop new schemes to represent the secondary
organic aerosol formation in an appropriate manner (2)
- Test and evaluate the model versus various available and new
data sets
- Present the results at workshops, conferences and in
peer-reviewed journals

*Your profile***

You have a master/diploma degree in atmospheric science, meteorology,
physics, chemistry or environmental science. Ideally, you already have some
experience in meteorological or air quality modeling. Programming and
computer skills are crucial. Good communication skills in English are
required and in German beneficial.

*We are looking forward to your application*

PhD Position at the University of Bonn

Written by LOWONGAN KERJA TERBARU on 06:04

Vacant PhD Position at the University of Bonn

Research field:
Numerical modeling of atmospheric chemical processes

Position:
A PhD position is available at the Meteorological Institute of the
University of Bonn.
Together with another Postdoc student,
the applicant will work within a common research project of the
Meteorological Institutes of the Universities of Bonn and Mainz and
the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry in Mainz.


Contract:
The research is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
It is limited to a three year period with a salary TVL 13/2.

Proposed research of the project:
Numerical modeling of chemical processes in the atmosphere is
essential to increase our understanding of atmospheric composition and
its changes induced by human activity. In recent years, global-scale
atmospheric models have been developed
that calculate the concentration and processing of
atmospheric trace constituents. However, for
key problems, e.g. local air quality and long-range transport from local
sources, the development of high-resolution models is essential.
In this project such a model will be developed.
The model will be driven by consistent meteorological and chemical
fields. This will be achieved through an online coupling of the global
ECHAM5/MESSy system with the COSMO-model of the German Meteorological
Service. First applications of
the newly developed model COSMO-MESSy will serve to investigate its
capabilities for a detailed analysis of field measurements,
the direct simulation of mesoscale chemical perturbations like dust
and biomass burning plumes, as well as an assessment and
forecast of local air quality.

Qualifications:
Diploma/Master in meteorology, physics, informatics, mathematics or
related fields.
Experience with numerical modeling of atmospheric processes.
Skills in Linux, FORTRAN, IDL or others.


Aplications:
Until end of December 2007 at the address:

Associate Professor Flemming Frandsen (ff@kt.dtu.dk), Professor Kim
Dam-Johansen (kdj@kt.dtu.dk).

*Background:
*Utilization of biomass on large power plants is a potentially efficient
method to reduce net CO2 emissions and reduce the consumption of fossil
fuels. Use of biomass fuels in large suspension-fired boilers may cause
operational problems. One example is when straw is applied as fuel in
suspension fired boilers whereby severe ash deposit formation in the boiler
chamber often takes place. Improved technologies for ash deposit removal are
therefore needed.

This PhD study will deal with the development of models, experimental tools
and innovative concepts to reduce ash related problems in biomass fired
power plant boilers. The study shall be founded on solid knowledge on
Chemical Engineering and will be conducted in tight collaboration with
industrial partners. In some recent CHEC-projects both modeling tools,
advanced probes and laboratory equipment have been developed and those tools
will be available for the PhD project.

*Project content:
*The main objective is to develop methods to optimize the use of straw in
power plant boilers and to develop and verify a model of the transient
deposit formation in a boiler. Practical probe measurements on a full scale
boiler will form the basis for a mathematical model for deposit formation
taking all important parameters into consideration. Based on the results
strategies for efficient boiler operation is to be established. The project
will be conducted in collaboration with the power company Vattenfall.

The PhD-candidate will carry out the model development and conduct the probe
measurements together with technicians. Vattenfall will operate the boiler
and participate in the planning of the project.

*Contents of PhD application:

PhD Positions in Rehabilitation Robotics Institute of Automation, University of Bremen

Written by LOWONGAN KERJA TERBARU on 16:11

PhD Positions in Rehabilitation Robotics
Institute of Automation, University of Bremen

The Institute of Automation, University of Bremen, Germany, has
openings for three PhD positions (E 13 TV-L) €¦’¶ under the condition of
job release €¦’¶ in the project AMaRob
(www.amarob.de,www.iat.uni-bremen.de/page.php/friend2). The Institute
of Automation has a strong tradition in robotics and image processing,
and scientists and students from more than nine countries are working
at the institute.


The qualified candidate will join an already existing team, and should
carry out high level research in the field of
€¦’µ Safety and software architecture or
€¦’µ Grasping with Local Sensors or
€¦’µ Intelligent Environments at Workplaces
In the following, these fields are described in more detail:

Emphasis on Safety and Software Architecture
As the rehabilitation robot operates in the vicinity of humans, the
safety of the system is a very important issue. The candidate should
apply available and research new solutions for increasing the safety
of the system and especially within the software, as well as introduce
methodologies which insure the quality of software.

Emphasis on Grasping with Local Sensors
This field focuses on robust grasping of different objects by using
local sensors. Object grasping is a central issue for a robotic system
that includes manipulators. There have been a lot of research
activities in this field, but the desired robustness is still not
achieved. Recent developments of smaller and more powerful sensors, as
well as more capable grippers offer a broad range of possibilities for
further improvements. Moreover, including learning strategies would
add further enhancements not only from the practical, but also from
the scientific point of view.

Emphasis on Intelligent Environment at Workplaces
The most common understanding of "intelligent" environments is to
introduce, within living environments, facilities that are capable of
ambient computing. The objective is to support the human being in his
activities of daily living. In contrast, our focus is to support a
rehabilitation robotic system with smart environmental components and
thus reduce the technical complexity of the robot system or to be able
to solve certain robot tasks at all. Within the AMaRob project,
different scenarios shall be realized that support strongly disabled
persons at workplaces to reintegrate these persons into the working life.


Within this proposed field the candidate will be responsible for
developing methodologies of integrating actuators and sensors into the
scenarios as well as into the software architecture.

Prerequisites:
- Dipl.-Ing. or Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer
Science or other comparable studies
- Very experienced in object-oriented programming in C++ and modelling
with UML

Optional Experiences:
- Working with Linux
- CASE-tool supported Model Driven Development (Rhapsody/Telelogic)

Applications:
Interested candidates should send an application to Professor Axel
Gr€¦äser, ag@iat.uni-bremen.de.
The application must contain:
- A complete C.V.
- Complete examination documents BSc., MSc., €¦’¥
- A short description of ideas for a thesis in the above mentioned fields
- Names and full addresses of 2-3 scientists who may be asked for a
recommendation

Deadline for Application: 30.11.2007
As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of
female employees in science women are particularly encouraged to apply.
In case of equal personal aptitudes and qualification disabled persons
will be given priority.

More information can be obtained by contacting:

PhD position in Mathematics, Albert Einstein Institute, Germany

Written by LOWONGAN KERJA TERBARU on 15:25

The Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein
Institute) will fill research positions and PhD positions in the areas

* Mathematical Relativity
* Geometric Analysis

Research programs concern the mathematical foundations of general
relativity and related physical theories, they are based in analysis,
geometry and numerical analysis. In particular, nonlinear partial
differential equations are a common theme of our research.


The Einstein field equations model both the behaviour of global
cosmological models and of isolated gravitating systems such as stars,
black holes and galaxies. Our research addresses the qualitative and
quantitative properties of solutions with respect to their local and
global behaviour, singularity formation and numerical simulation and
investigates the close correspondence between geometrical structures
and physical concepts. Other field equations arise from string theory
and the consideration of matter in modern mathematical models in
elasticity, fluids, electromagnetism and gauge theories.

Several mathematical projects are concerned with the geometrical
structure of space and time. They involve geometrical variational
principles characterizing specific models in geometry and physics as
well as geometric evolution equations like the mean curvature flow of
surfaces and the Ricci-flow of Riemannian metrics.

There are close interactions with the research sections "Astrophysical
Relativity" and "Quantum Gravity and Unified Theories" in the Albert
Einstein Institute, as well as with the universities in Berlin and
Potsdam.

Postdoctoral appointments typically are for two years, starting
September 2008 or earlier.

Scholarships MSc & PhD in Hydroinformatics

Written by LOWONGAN KERJA TERBARU on 14:37

HYDROINFORMATICS: MODELLING AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS
FOR INTEGRATED WATER MANAGEMENT

Hydroinformatics uses simulation modeling and information and
communication technology to help in solving problems of hydraulics,
hydrology and environmental engineering for better management of
water-based systems. It provides the computer-based decision-support
systems that now enter increasingly into the offices of engineers,
water authorities and government agencies. The Hydroinformatics
course aims at enriching traditional engineering practice by
introducing innovative approaches in order to open up for the
participants much broader prospective.


The participants will learn subject groups comprising of:

1. Fundamentals, hydraulic and environmental processes
2. Information systems, GIS, communication and internet
3. Physically-based simulation modeling
4. Data-driven modeling and computational intelligence
5. System analysis, decision support and optimization
6. Applications : Coastal and estuarial systems modeling and Urban
water system modeling
7. Integration subjects
8. Advanced topics

The programme is not a standard engineering programme. We often
characterize it as a programme with difference. The difference arises
in the extensive application of modeling, information technology and
decision support tools for water management, in a challenging
training programme with professors and top experts from leading
universities and consultancies of various countries, that opens a
range of future career opportunities. The founder of Hydroinformatics
(Emeritus Prof. M. Abbot) does lecture at UNESCO-IHE. Participants
often mention that "the course opened up new horizon in my
professional life".

Most of the Hydroinformatics participants are financed through
Netherlands Fellowship Programme. For this year, the programme is run
directly to M.Sc undertaken for 1.5 years and the NFP will cover
tuition fee and living cost.

The flier for the Hydroinformatics specialisation is at:
http://www.unesco-ihe.org/hi/hi_flier.pdf


We would also encourage people to apply for fellowships from other
funding agencies, especially the World Bank - see

An exciting research opportunity is available for a highly qualified
graduate in engineering, mathematics or physics for further studies
leading to the award of the PhD degree. The successful applicant will
undertake work on an EPSRC funded project dealing with the development
of a novel Electrical Impedance Tomography bio-imaging system for
non-invasive monitoring of neonate lung function in Intensive Care
Units. The proposed system will provide a non-invasive measure of lung
maturity and development, oxygen requirements and lung function,
suitable for use in small, unsedated infants. This tool will be
routinely used to define the nature and severity of persisting lung
disease, and to identify risk factors for developing chronic lung
problems.



PhD studentship (Ref: MU/EIT): Wearable monitoring devices. This
project will involve the development of a wearable monitoring device
that allows continuous or intermittent monitoring of physiologic
signals which is crucial for the advancement of both the diagnosis as
