Utrecht -- PhD-researcher Modelling Hydrogen Infrastructure

Written by LOWONGAN KERJA TERBARU on 14:09

PhD-researcher Modelling Hydrogen Infrastructure Investment Decisions
Using Real Options Theory

Utrecht University (Netherlands)

Within the project 'Socio-Economic Modelling and Simulation of Hydrogen
Infrastructure Development Strategies', Utrecht University offers two
PhD positions.

This project is part of the NWO/ACTS sustainable hydrogen program. This
is a joint project between the Innovation Studies Group and the Utrecht
School of Economics.


The Innovation Studies Group is young and ambitious and involved in
teaching and research in innovation. The group is part of the Department
of Innovation and Environmental Sciences of the Faculty of Geosciences
and consists of 14 faculty members, 5 postdocs and 13 PhD students.
Innovation Studies starts from a multi-disciplinary perspective and
links insights from science with social sciences in order to effectively
capture the many folded character of innovation processes and systems.
In its research and teaching, the Innovation Studies Group distinguishes
three focal points: energy and materials, mobility and infrastructure
and medical biotechnology. The group participates in the Copernicus
Institute for Sustainable Development and Innovation and in a number of
national and international networks.

Utrecht School of Economics (USE) is part of the Faculty of Law,
Economics and Governance of Utrecht University, one of the most
reputable research universities in the Netherlands and Europe. USE
presently has approximately 900 bachelor’s and master’s students and
about 100 faculty employees. USE aims at world-standard economic
teaching and research while encouraging multidisciplinary approaches and
giving special attention to institutional, historical and spatial
dimensions. In its activities, USE crosses disciplinary borders by
collaborating actively with the faculties of Law, Geosciences, Social
Science and History. USE maintains active international relationships
and teaches its curricula in both Dutch and English. USE has two
teaching institutes, the Undergraduate School and the Graduate School.
Scientific research at USE falls under its third institute, the Tjalling
C. Koopmans Institute (TKI).

For one of the two available PhD positions, the Innovation Studies Group
and the Utrecht School of Economics invites applications for a position
of PhD-researcher Modelling Hydrogen Infrastructure Investment Decisions
Using Real Options Theory (1,0 fte)

Job description
This project aims to apply real options theory to model uncertainties
connected with the transition process towards a hydrogen infrastructure.
Since the transition process is characterized by many interrelated
phases, the project models the staged development process of a hydrogen
infrastructure by using a real options framework. We will explicitly
disentangle and model three different sources of uncertainty
(technological, economic and institutional uncertainties), in contrast
with a standard real options approach that mostly lumps together
different sources of uncertainty into one parameter. We furthermore
extend the basic real option theory by including network effects, which
are not present in standard business projects. Finally, we develop the
optimal timing for the introduction and the development speed of
hydrogen infrastructure in the Netherlands.

Qualifications
The ideal candidate for this position has good analytical skills, a
strong quantitative background (e.g. in financial modelling or financial
econometrics) and a good knowledge of option theory. Experience with
programming and/or mathematical software (such as Matlab) is a plus. The
PhD student combines an interest in applied research with an interest to
work in an interdisciplinary group of researchers and can communicate
with a non-technical audience. Highly qualified students that will
shortly obtain a Master’s degree are also encouraged to apply.

Terms of employment
We offer a temporary fulltime position of a year with - at good
performance - the prospect of an extension with a maximum of three years
(in total 4 years fulltime). The extent of this position is 38 hours a
week (1,0 fte). The gross monthly salary increases from € 2,000.- in
year 1 to € 2,558.- in year 4. In addition, we offer good fringe
benefits. Conditions are based on the Collective Employment Agreement of
the Dutch Universities.

Further details
For more information about this position, please contact:
Dr. mr. P.J. Engelen (p.engelen @ econ.uu.nl)
Dr. T. Poot (T.Poot @ geo.uu.nl)

How to apply
Applications, including a motivation for this position and a curriculum
vitae should be submitted to the Faculty of Geosciences, Personnel
Departement, P.O. Box 80.115, 3508 TC Utrecht, the Netherlands, or
submitted by e-mail to: PenO @ geo.uu.nl. Please mention vacancy number:
72093.

Application deadline: February 15, 2008

Written by LOWONGAN KERJA TERBARU on 14:08

Scholarships for the Graduate Program in Economics and Finance

CEMFI, Madrid (Spain)

The basic graduate offering at CEMFI consists of its Master in Economics
and Finance and its PhD program in Economics. 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. Also, the

four scholarships for Latin American students of the Master. These
scholarships amount to 1,200 euros per month for housing and
subsistence, over 19 months, plus 2 additional months for students who
participate in a Summer internship program. They also cover the Master's
tuition, travel expenses and medical insurance.


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, as follows. First year: Basic graduate course work and some
optional subjects. Second year: 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 also edit 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. Our
reputation is 20 years old and 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 at a professional career with a stronger research
content or because they aim at an academic position, will continue to
develop their research skills for another three years and complete the
PhD program. Papers from CEMFI’s dissertations have been published in
top journals and we have an excellent record in the PhD job market.

Admission to PhD dissertation work at CEMFI is through the Master. All
students admitted to the PhD program obtain a scholarship, either from

PhD studentship on Complex Trait Analysis, Univ. Groningen

Written by LOWONGAN KERJA TERBARU on 14:03

Vacancy PhD Studentship on Complex Trait Analysis

What? Four-year bursary PhD position, fully funded
When? Available from January 2008

Job description
Project 1: The aim of this PhD position is to help unravel the genetic
basis of agriculturally/evolutionary important traits using
association- and linkage mapping approaches. The prospective student
will be involved in the analysis of data from a large, densely
genotyped natural collection of the flowering plant Arabidopsis
thaliana and a novel multi-family panel of recombinant inbred lines.
The nature and magnitude of these data will provide an unprecedented
high-resolution picture of the genetic variation underlying complex
phenotypes and will make it possible to systematically integrate
information from natural as well as experimental populations. The task
is to build an analytical/computational framework to facilitate such
an integrative analysis. As an extension, different types of –omics
data will be collected from these populations, which will then be used
to reconstruct the molecular networks that link genetic variation to
phenotypic variation.


Project 2: DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that leads to
changes in gene expression which can be inherited through mitosis, and
even through meiosis in some instances. The impact of differential
methylation on the variability in complex quantitative traits at the
population level is an area of research that is vastly under-explored.
The aim of this novel project is to map methylation loci that
influence complex phenotypes using tiling array technology. The
student will be involved in the computer implementation of statistical
methods and is also expected to make creative contributions to the
conceptual development of this project.

Requirements
You are a university graduate at MSc level in one of the following
disciplines: bioinformatics, statistics, computer science,
mathematics, theoretical biology, quantitative genetics, physics, or
mathematics. You are expected to have an excellent academic record
(supply a list of examination marks from your university study) and be
curious, creative and ambitious. You should be able to write
scientific articles and reports (to be proven by your graduation
thesis or another comparable report) and be fluent in the English
language.

Additional information and applications
You can apply for this job until we have found a suitable candidate.
