PhD Position in The Field of Computer Architecture at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

The Computer Systems group at Chalmers conducts research on high-performance and low-power computing, including the design and analysis of 1) efficient architectures for mainstream down to embedded platforms, 2) systems-level software to exploit interesting hardware platforms, and 3) verifiable tools to enable more efficient, accurate design space exploration.

Chalmers is a partner in the HiPEAC European Network of Excellence.

The European ERA (Embedded Reconfigurable Architectures) project studies tradeoffs among reconfigurability, performance, and power within the context of heterogeneous, multi-core systems. Chalmers efforts address the balance between performance and power consumption (at all levels), and reconfigurable memory hierarchy design, in particular. We are recruiting for one PhD position.

PhD Student Position in Energy and Environment: Climate Policy Modeling, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden

The Department of Energy and Environment conducts superior research and education in energy and sustainable development, at the global scale down to the industrial, building, and product level. Our focus is on experimental and theoretical energy technology research, as well as development, use, and evaluation of methods and tools for analysis of technology systems. In total, 150 individuals work in the department’s six divisions.

The doctoral position is in the Physical Resource Theory division. Physical Resource Theory encompasses theories, models, and methods to describe the metabolism of energy and materials in social and natural systems, in physical and economics terms. For instance, we develop models to characterize how current and future use of energy and materials can develop toward a reduced environmental impact.

Erasmus Mundus: Master Scholarships in Fire Safety Engineering (IMFSE) IMFSE 2011

The “International Master of Science in Fire Safety Engineering (IMFSE)”, is a two-year educational programme in the Erasmus Mundus framework. This master course is commonly organized by:

• Ghent University, Belgium (coordinator)
• Lund University, Sweden
• The University of Edinburgh, UK

The main objective is creating an educational programme that provides the required knowledge for a professional fire safety engineer in a Performance Based Design environment. Besides interuniversity cooperation, student mobility in Europe is one of the main points of interest of the overall programme. The mobility structure, with possible change in study location after each semester, gives the students the opportunity to gain from the strengths and expertise of each of the three universities.

Students from any country are welcome to apply. A number of Erasmus Mundus scholarships are available.

Uppsala University PhD Studentship in Clinical Pharmacology, Sweden

Uppsala University hereby declares the following position to be open for application:

PhD student position in Medical Science – Clinical Pharmacology at the Department of Medical Sciences, Uppsala University Hospital.

The research project focus on preclinical models for the identification and characterization of potentially new cancer drugs, especially targeting colorectal cancer (CRC). Cell line models of CRC, genetically modified for signal pathways known to be aberrantly expressed in CRC will be screened for cytotoxic activity of molecules in large chemical libraries. Screening hits will then be further characterized in more clinically relevant tumour models of tumour cell spheroids and tumour cells from patients, followed by mechanistic characterization based on eg analysis of gene expression patterns. Candidate drugs will then be investigated in vivo in tumour bearing animals, hopefully followed by clinical testing in collaboration with drug companies.

Erasmus Mundus Scholarships in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis (AFEPA) 2011-2012

The European Master in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis aims at providing a high quality education in designing and assessing public policies targeted to the agricultural and food sector as well as the rural environment. This European Master responds to the increasing need to better understand and anticipate the various and often complex socio-economic and environmental effects of these policies either in a functioning market economy as in the European Union or in economies in a development or transition phase. The European Master offers a two-year academic curriculum with integrated and advanced theoretical, methodological and empirical courses in economics and quantitative methods as well as in agricultural, food and environmental sciences, agricultural and trade policy, environmental and natural resource policy, rural development policy and agribusiness management and market analysis. To connect theory and methodology to practice, a problem solving project is developed and presented as a master thesis at the end of the two-year curriculum.
