Beasiswa Doktor Norwegia

Norway: PhD Scholarship in Model Predictive Control for Managed Pressure Drilling, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
The Department of Engineering Cybernetics at The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in cooperation with the Center for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry, invites applications for a PhD scholarship in Model Predictive Control for Managed Pressure Drilling.

Maintaining the correct bottom hole pressure during drilling is important both for the safety of the drilling operation and for the production characteristics of the well. The control problem is complicated by the long distance from the well bottom to the control actuator on the surface (possibly more than 10 km), in addition to the lack of on-line measurements from the well bottom. The proposed PhD will investigate the use of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for this problem. The control should be able to handle both normal drilling and operation in the face of disturbances, such as gas production from the reservoir.

The PhD scholarship is for four years. A minimum of one year has to be spent at NTNU, but for the remaining period the place of work can be either at NTNU in Trondheim or at SINTEF Petroleum Research in Bergen.

Applicants should hold a Masters degree in a relevant subject, e.g., Engineering Cybernetics/Control Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Applied Mathematics or Physics.

The objective of the grant is to obtain a PhD degree, hence the successful applicant must be enrolled as a PhD candidate at NTNU. See also information about PhD education at NTNU www.ime.ntnu.no/forskning/phd/

For more information, please contact:
Professor Morten Hovd, email: Morten.Hovd@itk.ntnu.no.

The position is placed in salary code 1017, pay scale level 43 which currently corresponds to a monthly gross income of NOK 27.133,40. 2% of the gross income will be deducted for mandatory membership in the National Pension Fund.

Appointments are made in accordance with current regulations with supplementary rules for research fellowship appointment in universities and polytechnics. Applicants must agree to participate in organized doctoral study programs within the period of the appointment. The successful applicant must agree to the conditions laid down for public employees.

Candidates will be required to enroll in a PhD program within the period of employment, and must sign a contract regulating the period of employment and the mandatory work.

According to Norwegian policies, the government workforce should, as closely as possible reflect the diversity of the population at large. It is therefore a goal of NTNU, as a government institution, to have a workforce which is balanced with respect to age and gender, and to recruit persons of immigrant background. Persons of immigrant background are encouraged to apply. NTNU also wishes to increase the number of women on its workforce, and women are specifically encouraged to apply.

The application must include information about education, exams and earlier experience. Certified copies of certificates and diplomas must be enclosed. Relevant scientific works should be submitted in triplicate. Joint works will be taken into account. In cases where it is difficult to determine the applicant’s contribution, a short note of explanation should be supplied.

Applications should be sent to: Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, Sem Sælands road 5, NO-7491 Trondheim.

Applications should be marked: IME-041/2007.

Application deadline : 2007.09.03

PhD Job Vacancy in The Netherlands

The Netherlands: PhD Position in Adaptive Distance Measures in Relevance Learning Vector Quantization, University of Groningen

Project Description:
Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) is a family of appealing algorithms used in a variety of classification problems. An iterative training process determines from a given set of example data a set of prototypes which represent typical features and parameterize a distance based classification scheme. A key difficulty is the choice of an appropriate distance measure. Frequently, Euclidean metrics are employed without further justification, or different measures are compared in a
trial-and-error approach. An appealing solution to this problem is the use of adaptive metrics. Relevance learning schemes have been proposed which assign a relevance factor to each dimension in feature space. These factors and the prototypes are updated at the same time during training. One aim of the project is a better theoretical understanding of relevance learning. To this end, we will extend our previous mathematical description of the learning dynamics and performance of LVQ.

The focus of the project will be on an important extension of relevance learning that we have recently suggested: the adaptation of relevance matrices during training. Matrix Relevance Learning does not only weight single features differently, but takes into account correlations between them, as well. As a testbed for the novel class of algorithms, it will be implemented and benchmarked in practical problems of, e.g., medical data analysis, classification of bioinformatics data and image processing problems.

Qualification:
You hold a university degree (diploma or master of science) in Computer Science, Physics or a related discipline with an excellent academic record. You are highly interested in both, theoretical and applicational aspects of machine learning. Proficiency in English (both oral and written) and excellent communication skills are indispensible for this project. This concerns, in particular, the ability to write scientific articles and reprorts.

Organization:
The project will be embedded in the research group Intelligent Systems with Dr. Michael Biehl as thesis supervisor.

Conditions of employment:
PhD students are employed for a maximum period of four years. Salaries are according to the standard salary scale for PhD students with an estimated gross salary of 1956,- Euros per month in the first year, increasing to a monthly salary of 2502,- Euros in the fourth year.

Contact information:
Dr. Michael Biehl (m.biehl@rug.nl, Tel: +31 50 363 3997)

Information about on-going research, re- and preprints etc. are available from: www.cs.rug.nl/~biehl

Application:
Initially, send a short CV including information about your academic degrees and grades, as well as a letter of motivation to Michael Biehl (preferred format: pdf or ps). The position will be open until a suitable candidate is found.

PhD Studentship Aquatic Biogeochemistry in Sweden

Sweden PhD Studentship in Aquatic Biogeochemistry, Uppsala University

PhD Student in aquatic biogeochemistry with focus on spatial and temporal dynamics of organic carbon export from soils to surface waters

The Department of Environmental Assessment is a centre for freshwater and forest soil research with a special focus on environmental monitoring and assessment. The department also performs teaching and gives expert support to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, SEPA. At present the department consists of some 65 employees; ca 25 of which are senior and post-doc scientists and some 10 PhD students. The department is divided into four research sections: geochemistry, biodiversity, organic environmental pollutants and modelling, and covers program areas such as (i) environmental monitoring and assessment, (ii) environmental pollutants, and (iii) integrated catchment monitoring. We now would like to enlarge our research group by announcing a Ph D Student position in aquatic biogeochemistry.
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a key determinant of water quality that is strongly influenced by climate. The doctoral student’s research will seek to bridge the gulf between a high-resolution, process oriented understanding of DOC’s terrestrial origins in the boreal forest, and long term, landscape scale monitoring data in order to better understand the implications of climate change for DOC in aquatic ecosystems. The project will create a model framework for upscaling from hillslope processes. Fieldwork on the Krycklan Catchment in Västerbotten will be used to test key hypotheses.

We seek for a dedicated candidate with a degree in environmental science or engineering. Specialization in biogeochemistry is desirable.

PhD study programmes leading to a doctorate include a minimum of four years of full-time studies after your undergraduate degree. To be admitted as a postgraduate student, you must already have a degree from at least a three-year university course.

SLU is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Beasiswa USA dari University of Pennsylvania Fellowships Program

University of Pennsylvania Fellowships Program. This fellowship year challenges scholars to reconsider the economic dimensions of the Jewish past and to integrate that knowledge within the emerging narratives of Jewish experience. Although the field has moved far beyond the need for apologetics, there is an abiding reluctance to engage the Jews’ historic economic functions, which have long nourished anti-Semitic fantasies.

CENTER FOR ADVANCED JUDAIC STUDIES
University of Pennsylvania
Post-Doctoral Fellowships 2008-2009
JEWS, COMMERCE, AND CULTURE
Application Deadline: November 1, 2007
Yet these functions formed the basis of Jewish global civilization: mercantile, transnational, and reliant upon money as a source of power. We will explore such topics as Jewish livelihoods, social structures, trade networks, and fiscal mechanisms, thus investigating anew the relationship between the material and cultural components of Jewish civilization. By bringing together scholars from across the humanities and social sciences, we seek to devise a fresh research agenda for exposing the shifting linkages between commerce and culture in Jewish life from medieval to modern times.

Proposals might address specific aspects of the following general questions:

1. Is Jewish economic history in the past millennium a coherent whole or is it best understood in the framework of the specific economies of individual “host” societies?
2. How did Jewish economic activity help to shape pre-modern Jewish communal institutions, class relations, values, and folkways and eventually influence Jewish paths of emancipation and ideological self-redefinition?
3. Does the Weber-Sombart debate from a century ago have any ongoing scholarly relevance? How might newer economic models be applied to understand topics in Jewish history?
4. How have Jewish economic and entrepreneurial niches (or industries) transformed Jewish life or given rise to specific business subcultures that redefine Jewish identity?

The Center invites applications from scholars in the humanities and social sciences at all levels, as well as outstanding graduate students in the final stages of writing their dissertations. Stipend amounts are based on a fellow’s academic standing and financial need with a maximum of $40,000 for the academic year. A contribution also may be made toward travel expenses. The application deadline is November 1, 2007. Awards will be announced by January 15, 2008.

This program is organized with the cooperation of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania.
