Eindhoven University of Technology At the core of the project is the belief that technology alone cannot bring about a sustainable society. Individual agents need to change their behavior as well. This is where persuasive technology comes into the picture. It aims at persuading human agents to behave in socially-valued ways, by giving information, providing feedback, and taking over actions. The success of a persuasive technology that serves the public interest depends on the integration of sound technology, effective persuasive principles and careful attention to ethical considerations. Overall, this research program investigates the psychological mechanisms and the ethical dilemmas of persuasive technology. Specifically, it will consist of an in-depth empirical study of a concrete case where persuasive technology is under development: the energy management and safety of vehicles (cars, trucks). Vehicle simulators will be used to observe human agents using various forms of persuasive technology, where the most important variable will be the amount of control transferred from the user to the technological system. The present PhD-project will focus on psychological mechanisms related to shared values, competence, trust, experience and confidence that influence allocation of control. This project will run in a strongly interdisciplinary setting: The PhD-student will closely collaborate with another PhD-student (philosophical perspective) and a Postdoc who develops the vehicle control simulation. Requirements University Graduate For this position we are interested in candidates with a solid background in social psychology or human-technology interaction. In addition we require an interest in the development of automotive systems (hybrid drive trains for trucks) and the willingness to engage in the co-development of such systems. Candidates with a master in Human-Technology Interaction, Social Psychology or related programs are invited to apply. The PhD candidate is expected to deliver a PhD thesis and a number of scientific publications within a period of 4 years. The department of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences (IE&IS) engages in education and research in the area of operational business processes and transitions in societies in relation to technical changes. In the IE&IS department, scholars and students work together on critical problems at the interface of engineering, management, innovation, and human behavior. The department has two schools: the School of Industrial Engineering and the School of Innovation Sciences.

France; PhD Studentship Genomic DNA
Studying the mechanisms of action of anti-cancer drugs on the kinetics of DNA replication The ideal candidate will have: About Genomic Vision: Contact:
Eukaryotic cells replicate their DNA from hundreds to thousands of chromosomal sites
termed replication initiation sites or replication origins. Initiation of DNAreplication involves
interactions between these replication origins and a network of cell cycle regulatory proteins. Several
types of anti-cancer drugs (and its candidates) act as an inhibitor of DNAreplication.
We are looking for a Ph.D student to study the effect of anti-cancer drug on DNA replication
program using our single molecule approach. DNA replication analysis with molecular combing
(Replication Combing Assay, RCA) is a direct method to monitor the effect of chemicals compounds
on the kinetic of DNA replication. This project is a part of an interdisciplinary training network called
“Image DDR (High Resolution Microscopy in the DNA damage response)” and supported by the
Commission of the European Communities. The appointee will therefore have opportunities to learn
live cell imaging, high-resolution microscopy and other techniques through an interdisciplinary
training approach that includes specially designed summer schools, workshops and meetings
encompassing all network participants.
- A Master’s Degree in Engineering (biochemical, biophysical), molecular or cellular
biology with relevant laboratory experience.
- Knowledge of English is essential
- A strong motivation and a proven ability through experience in academic or industrial
research environment
- Excellent organization expertise.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
- Excellent team player skills and be a highly proactive person, who takes initiative and
who interacts constructively with other group members.
Ideally these skills will be complemented by one of the following:
- Research-level knowledge of DNA replication/cell cycle regulation
- Genomics Imaging of single molecule of biological sample
Genomic Vision is a start-up company, located in Paris, developing novel diagnostic and drug
discovery solutions based on its world-leading nanotechnology for DNAanalysis: Molecular Combing.
Molecular combing technology allows fixing high molecular weight DNAmolecules uniformly on a
solid support with constant stretching factor, to form an array of fibers. Immunodetection of
pre-incorporated and hybridized probes on stretched DNA can directly visualize genomic content.
Genomic Vision holds strong relationship with top-institutes such as Pasteur Institute, Curie institute,
ENS, etc. through this technology.

PhD Position, Prehistoric archaeology: Spatial Analysis of Late Neolithic settlements, The Netherlands
Prehistoric archaeology: Spatial Analysis of Late Neolithic settlements Spatial analysis of Late Neolithic settlements in the province of Noord-Holland (The Netherlands) and interregional comparison Available from October 1st, 2009, closing date for applications: September 1st, 2009. Subject Spatial analysis of Late Neolithic settlements in the province of Noord-Holland (The Netherlands) and interregional comparison. This PhD position is part of the project Unlocking Noord-Holland’s Late Neolithic Treasure Chest. This project is co financed by the the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and administered by the State Service for Cultural Heritage (RCE). The project comprises five studies. Two PhD’s are based at the Groningen University (spatial analysis, ceramics), one PhD at Leiden University (flint). The studies on archaeobotany and archaeozoology are carried out by researchers from the state service and private firms. Introduction In the second half of the past century, and the 1970-1990’s in particular, excavations were conducted at a series of Late Neolithic settlements belonging to the Single Grave Culture (SGC) (c. 2900-2500 cal BC) in the province of Noord-Holland (Kop van Noord-Holland, De Gouw). These excavations have demonstrated the exceptional quality of the sites, especially thanks to the good preservation of organic materials. In significant contrast to the generally poor and heavily biased archaeological record of the SGC elsewhere in the Netherlands, the rich body of excavation data potentially permits the development of models about settlement variability, the use and role of material culture, as well as landscape use. So far, the excavation data from the various sites have never been analysed integrally. Hence, any ‘models’ of cultural dynamics in the SGC are based on very incomplete data. This project aims to unlock and integrate cultural/ecological information and research data in order to provide a sound basis for cultural modeling and development of heritage management strategies. We will thereby obtain a better understanding of site variability in relation to landscape use, subsistence strategies and the material world of the inhabitants. It provides an opportunity to study a micro-region within the wider SGC culture, so far largely known from its burial context. Its place in relation to the communities in the central and eastern parts of the Netherlands can be assessed and possible long-distance contacts with related Corded Ware groups elsewhere can be studied, addressing the debate on the apparent uniformity of the Corded Ware complex. Research topics The study of settlement variability focuses on the identification of functional differences between sites. For this it is necessary to characterise the sites in terms of settlement size, intra-site spatial organisation and functional variability, as well as the duration of occupation (permanent versus seasonal). Insight into these aspects will be obtained through the analysis of cultural and palaeoecological remains. Also, efforts will be made to draw inferences on group composition of settlement inhabitants (sex, age) from material remains and physical anthropological data. For the interpretation of spatial patterns in terms of behaviourally meaningful processes, data will be analysed in an interdisciplinary fashion, in relation to the spatially referenced excavation recordings of objects, features and lithological layers. Spatial analysis will play a pivotal role throughout the project. The work will start with the digitising of excavation plans and linking of find numbers in order to provide for a spatially referenced environment for further analyses. The availability of such an environment is also of importance for the sampling of materials in other research modules. The analysis of spatial data will next focus on research at various levels: identification and characterisation of structures (e.g. house plans, barns, fences, pits, and wells), characterisation of spatial patterns in find distributions, and development of spatial models of site formation dynamics. This multi-level approach contributes to the evaluation and interpretation of research results in the other modules and provides a sound basis for syntheses at site level. It will also contribute to the compilation of models for site formation that are not restricted to the SGC sites in Noord-Holland, but extend to other Neolithic wetland sites in the Netherlands. The candidate needs affinity with computer-based modelling, spatial analysis and site formation processes More information More information on the GIA and its research are to be found athttp://www.rug.nl/let/onderzoek/onderzoekinstituten/gia/index The full project proposal may be acquired from the project supervisors. Informal enquiries may be made to: The closing date for applications is September 1st 2009. Letters of application should be sent to D.C.M. Raemaekers, University of Groningen, Groningen Institute of Archaeology, Poststraat 6, 9712 ER Groningen, the Netherlands. Letters should include a short curriculum vitae and 1-2 A4 research proposal. This PhD is a four year full time position.
