PhD Position in Computer Science at the University of Bourgogne (France) Description : The Institute for Spatial Information and Measurement (I3mainz) at the University of Applied Sciences (Mainz, Germany) and its partner the Laboratory of Computer Science, Electronics and Imaging (Le2i – UMR 5158 CNRS) at the University of Bourgogne (Auxerre, France) are seeking applications from qualified individuals to fill an available Phd position in the field of Computer Science commencing September, 2009. The successful candidate will be expected to hold a Master's degree or equivalent in Computer Science or a related field and will be enrolled in the doctoral program at the University of Bourgogne. The candidate’s work will be carried out in part at I3mainz in Germany and in part at the Le2i in France. His research will be within I3mainz’s WiDOP project which benefits from a three-year funding support (~ 27 000 EUR per year for this position) granted by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Germany). WiDOP (Wissensbasierte Detektion von Objekten in Punktwolken für Anwendungen im Ingenieurbereich), which stands for “Knowledge-based detection of objects in 3D point clouds for engineering applications”, is an ambitious project aiming to devise and develop efficient intelligent methods capable of achieving an automated processing of terrestrial laser scanner data. This project contrasts with existing ones in that it uses prior knowledge as basis for a selective, object-oriented detection, identification and modeling of objects present in the point cloud. This knowledge can be obtained from various sources such as databases, construction plans, as-built plans or Geographic Information Systems. Within WiDOP, the successful candidate will work on knowledge-based numerical processing of 3D point clouds. The goal is to develop and implement intelligent methods capable of achieving an automated processing, detection, identification and modeling of objects from terrestrial laser scanner data. Applicants should send, by e-mail, their curriculum vitae, the names and contact information of 2 references and a cover letter to Adlane Habed Adlane.Habed@u-bourgogne.fr Tel.: +33 (0)3 86 49 28 57 Links: [i3mainz] http://www.i3mainz.fh-mainz.de/ [Le2i] http://vision.u-bourgogne.fr/le2i/ Contact address : Adlane Habed Assistant Professor UFR Sciences and Techniques, Université de Bourgogne BP 16, Route des Plaines de l’Yonne, 89010 AUXERRE Cedex FRANCE E-mail: Adlane.Habed@u-bourgogne.fr Phone. : + 33 3 86 49 28 57, Fax : +33 3 86 49 28 50

1910 Centenary PhD Scholarships in UK for Developing World Students
1910 Centenary PhD Scholarships Langham Partnership is working with a number of centres of theological training in the UK to offer four PhD scholarships starting in October 2010, as a way of marking the centenary of the Edinburgh World Missionary Conference of 1910. The scholarships are for PhD students from the Majority (Developing) World. They are available for study at Oxford Centre of Mission Studies, Edinburgh University, London School of Theology and International Christian College, Glasgow. Langham Partnership has over the past 30 years helped to sponsor almost 300 scholars to complete PhD degrees. The work of the Langham Partnership scholarship programme is focused on the Majority (Developing) World, and the 1910 Centenary PhD Scholarships are intended to benefit students from there. The Edinburgh World Missionary Conference of 1910 anticipated the predominant role which church leaders from the Global South would play in the future, and this scheme is therefore an appropriate way of marking its centenary. The scholarships represent the commitment of the four institutions to engage in dialogue with churches in the Developing World (Majority), and assist with the training of strategic church leaders from there. Eligibility criteria, and further details can be obtained from the Langham Partnership website www.langhampartnership.org, or the four participating institutions. Further enquiries can be addressed to scholarships.lpuki@langhampartnership.org. Closing date for applications is 30 November 2009.

Belgium : Phd position in Term Alignment in Multilingual Document Collections at About KULeuven
Description: We invite applications for a 4 year PhD position financed by the research project TermWise: Creating Resources for Specialised Language Use. The TermWise project (financed by the IOF - Industrieel OnderzoeksFonds) aims to develop a prototype software tool that offers comprehensive multilingual terminological support to language professionals dealing with specialized language use. Lawyers, doctors or business people all have their own jargon. Knowledge about the typical words and expressions in these disciplines is essential for translators, copy writers or anyone else who deals with specialised texts. The focus of the PhD research is on term alignment, i.e. the automatic alignment of phrases and words that are translational equivalents in large multilingual document collections. The research covers the study of existing statistical alignment models (e.g., sequence and fertility based models) and the design, development and evaluation of novel alignment algorithms including generative, discriminative and graph models. The academic objective of the research is a Doctorate in Engineering: Computer Science from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. Funding is available as from October 2009 up to September 2013 at the rate of a K.U.Leuven PhD bursary (approx. € 26000 nett per annum, which includes holiday and end-of-year allowance, and social security). The research will be performed at the Department of Computer Science at the K.U.Leuven. A close collaboration with the other partners of the TermWise project, who develop technology for term extraction, conceptual modelling, and interface development is foreseen. The candidate has the following profile: Contact information: Interested applicants should send their CV and letter of application BEFORE 2009-10-08 to:
a) A degree in Computer Science, Informatics or equivalent with a minimum grade of cum laude
b) Interest in computational linguistics and statistical natural language processing.

Italy : Ph.D. Student Position in Risk Assessment of Nanomaterials in University Ca Foscari of Venice
University Cà Foscari of Venice Organization The Department of Environmental Science has started a research program for assessing human and ecological risk due to exposure nanomaterials (engineered nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots). We have a strong background of risk assessment of chemicals and emerging pollutants and participate in national and inter-national multidisciplinary research project. We offer one PhD student position in human and ecological risk assessment of nanomaterials, supported by the FP7 funded ENPRA (Risk Assessment of Engineered NanoParticles) project and the ECSIN (European Centre for Sustainable Impact of Nanotechnology). Background Currently many data gaps exist in the areas of risk assessment of nanomaterials (i.e., environmental fate & transport, potential releases into the environment, ecological and human exposure, dose-response relationships, etc.). Filling these data gaps will aid in future risk assessments of nanomaterials when proven methods are available. Project and job description A fellowship in support of a PhD training (scholarship student) is available to study and perform research in the area of risk assessment of nanomaterials. The main aim of the PhD project is to improve our understanding of complex engineered nanoparticles exposure situations and toxicological effects to human health as well as the environment, and to develop and apply adequate methodologies for a sound risk assessment. The emphasis of the open position is to further develop non-conventional ways of addressing potential risks (e.g., weight of evidence approaches, expert elicitation, multi criteria decision analysis, etc.), taking into account the deep uncertainties that currently pervade every step of the risk assessment procedure. The proposed research will focus on risk assessment methodologies by analysing the state-of-the-art of approaches and tools proposed so far, and by developing and applying suitable methodologies to estimate potential risk due to nanomaterials exposure. A panel of engineered nanoparticles (metal, metal oxide and carbon-based nanoparticles) will be selected by taking into account their production and/or consumption amount as well as future value. Moreover information concerning the influence of engineered nanoparticles on human health and the environment will be collected from literature and analyzed. Detailed risk assessment of the selected nanoparticles will be carried out after hazard evaluation and exposure assessment. During the risk assessment process, facts based on scientific evidence, hypotheses and extrapolation due to lack of knowledge, data uncertainty and other factors will be specified. The state of concern regarding manufactured nanoparticles will be reflected as well. You will have to work in close collaboration with researchers from the Department of Environmental Science and from the Venice Research Consortium (CVR). Requirements You have a Master degree on environmental science, chemistry, biology or in a closely related discipline and thesis focused on nanomaterials-related topics. The position requires a high ability to interact with faculty and other PhD students and senior researchers. You, as our successful candidate, should be practiced in spoken and written English. We offer an up-to-date research infrastructure, collaboration in a multidisciplinary networked laboratory, and the possibility to receive the PhD from the University Cà Foscari of Venice. Conditions of employment Salary conditions, according to national rules, for doctoral students. Estimated maximum net salary per month: 1000,00 €.

Australia : Australian Postgraduate Award (Industry) in Sound Practice
Australian Postgraduate Award (Industry) in Sound Practice: Supporting Sustainable Careers in Orchestral Musicians through Occupational Health and Safety Initiatives Two scholarships are being offered by the Discipline of Biomedical Science at the University of Sydney, the Australia Council for the Arts and eight major orchestras of Australia. This project will identify injury risk factors and predictors of injury, trial targeted interventions designed to better manage and prevent injury, and profile the psychological and physical health of professional musicians working within the eight premier state orchestras of Australia. The project aims to develop, implement and evaluate comprehensive multidisciplinary interventions to reduce the current unacceptably high rate of injury in this population and to support musicians in the management of psychological issues such as music performance anxiety and occupational stress. The project will provide an international benchmark for injury risk assessment and management within the orchestral workplace, assessment of physical and mental health of professional musicians and track injury trajectories, thereby facilitating the development of effective Occupational Health and Safety policies for professional Australian orchestral musicians at risk of a prematurely shortened career due to injury. The successful PhD candidates would focus their research within one of the following areas: 1. Epidemiological research with a focus on injury surveillance 2. Clinical physiotherapy research on injury prevention and management intervention trials 3. Qualitative and clinical psychology research with a focus on music performance anxiety The successful applicant will have qualifications and experience in any of the following: physiotherapy, psychology, epidemiology and public health; occupational medicine or equivalent. They will ideally have experience in one or more of the following areas: survey design and implementation; injury surveillance and injury management, and will have knowledge of applied univariate and multivariate statistics to analyse complex sets of data. Applicants must have a First Class Honours degree or equivalent, or a Masters Degree, or have extensive clinical experience in an appropriate discipline. Candidates should possess excellent oral and written communication skills, excellent clinical skills or an excellent undergraduate record of achievement, with demonstrated competencies in working effectively as a member of a multidisciplinary team. Also considered are publications, demonstrated research skills and relevant work experience. Applications are open to local and international students, however the scholarship does not cover any tuition fees payable by international students. Three years for full-time PhD students. Direct queries to Dr Bronwen Ackermann, School of Medical Sciences, Room L111 Cumberland Campus C42, The University of Sydney, Lidcombe NSW 2141 (Phone: 02 9531 9472; Fax: 02 9531 9520; Email:b.ackermann@usyd.edu.au ). Application Guide: Applications should include a curriculum vitae, an academic transcript, and the names and contact details of two referees. A statement of the broad area of your research interest should also be included.

Closing Date: 24 August 2009
This project involves several components including a longitudinal population cohort study that will clarify causal factors in injury. The first stage will be collating baseline measures of current physical and psychological health status. The second stage involves a longitudinal study involving regular injury surveillance monitoring (Study 1) and identifying priority risk factors that will be targeted by specifically designed intervention trials (Study 2).
By analyzing the results from stage 1 and 2, intervention trials will be designed and run to identify effective injury prevention and management strategies in professional orchestral musicians and to evaluate the short and long term effects of these interventions.
Implement intervention trials aiming to target musicians who suffer high levels of music performance anxiety and investigate other psychosocial risk factors such as occupational stress. Using the results of the baseline survey, the ongoing surveillance data in the psychosocial area and existing literature, interventions with a selection of professional musicians will be developed, implemented and evaluated.

Misc : Microsoft Phd Scholarships for Students from Africa, Europe, and the Middle East
The PhD Scholarship Programme recognises and supports exceptional students who show the potential to make an outstanding contribution to science and computing. This programme supports PhD students in computing and those working at the intersection of computing and the sciences. Only PhD supervisors should apply. If their project is selected, the supervisor has up to a year to find the best possible student for the project. Joint applications by two supervisors from different disciplines are especially encouraged. On this page: We usually consider only one application per university department or per laboratory of a national research institution. Only applications from countries in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East will be considered. Some additional criteria apply in some of these countries. Only applications in research areas relatively close to the ones researchers at Microsoft Research in Cambridge focus on will be considered. These areas are: Unless otherwise specified, applications may only be submitted through theonline application tool. Applications are accepted in English and in electronic form only through the online application tool. After you create an application in the online application system, you can modify it at any time before the application deadline. Applications are accepted only through a student’s institution, such as from the PhD supervisor or a departmental secretary. We do not accept applications from students directly. Applications must be complete and received by the announced deadline to be considered. Proposals received after this deadline will not be considered. Germany United Kingdom Applications are on a competitive basis and we anticipate a high level of demand for scholarships (the average selection rate has been around 20 percent over the last 5 years). Following receipt of such applications, each is carefully reviewed by researchers from universities and from Microsoft Research and the best proposals are selected. For reference, you may consult the evaluation form sent to reviewers. After a ranking based on the ‘marks’ of the reviewers (when the number of reviews permit it), a shortlist of applications is drawn and are then ranked manually per research area by Microsoft Researchers using all the information provided to us by the expert reviewers as well as additional information such as the relevance of the research to our particular interests, the interest of one of our researchers to get involved in the project, and so on. The rankings from each research areas are then combined, trying to keep a good balance between each area. Decisions are made solely at the discretion of Microsoft Research and all decisions are final. Supervisors have up to one year (from the date of notification) to propose the best and most suitable student possible to carry out the proposed research project. The student, who can be of any nationality, should not have started his or her PhD before September 2009. After a student is identified, we request a CV and two strong letters of recommendation (in English and preferably not from the supervisor) from professors familiar with the student’s work and we may decide to interview the student by telephone. The terms of the agreement between the institution of the successful applicant and Microsoft Research have been developed over the course of the last few years with input from numerous research organisations around Europe to ensure that they are appropriate and equitable. Each Microsoft scholarship consists of an annual bursary up to a maximum of three years. The amount varies in different countries and may depend on specific arrangement with public research funding agencies. The bursary continues automatically the following years, provided the Scholar meets the requirements of the institution. Payment is made to the institution. The amount of the scholarship is the maximum amount Microsoft Research pays to the institution. For more details, see our terms and conditions. In addition, every Scholar receives a laptop with a selection of software applications. During the course of their PhD, Scholars are invited to Microsoft Research in Cambridge for an annual Summer School that includes a series of talks of academic interest and posters sessions, which provides the Scholars the opportunity to present their work to Microsoft researchers and a number of Cambridge academics. Some of the Scholars may also be offered—at the sole discretion of Microsoft Research—an internship in one of the Microsoft Research laboratories. Internships involve working on a project alongside and as part of a team of Microsoft researchers. Scholars are paid during their internship—in addition to their scholarship bursary. Interested Scholars need to apply through the Microsoft Research internship Web site.
