PhD and Postdoc Positions at Hasso Plattner Institute, Universität Potsdam, Germany

Hasso-Plattner-Institute (HPI) is a privately financed institute affiliated with the University of Potsdam. The Institute`s founder and benefactor Professor Hasso Plattner, who is also co-founder and chairman of the supervisory board of SAP AG, has created an opportunity for students to experience a unique education in IT systems engineering in a professional research environment with a strong practice orientation.

We are expanding our research school and are currently seeking:

• 8 Ph.D. students (monthly stipends 1400/1500/1600 Euro)
• and 2 Postdocs (monthly stipend 1800 Euro)

Master Scholarship in Optics in Science & Technology at Institut D’Optique Graduate School, France

Students enrolled in the two-year programme will study in two different countries of their choice, spending one year in each and offering the opportunity to acquire 60 European Credit Transfer System units (ECTS) per year. Students are trained for technical or scientific positions in academic or industrial environment specialised in optics or using optics. PhD studies are a natural extension of the Course.

Mobility scheme: each student spends the first year at one of the five sites and the second year at one of the other four sites.

The language of instruction is English. Students are offered the possibility to learn the local language as part of the programme. Courses are taught by research staff members. The student population is multinational with a professor/student ratio of about 2.

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.
