19 PhD positions in Agricultural Sciences, INRA, France


Research training positions

Approximately 1800 PhD students are hosted in INRA's research units.


Doctoral students are a vital part of the scientific production of the Institute. The research units which host them carry out their role of training in and through research.



Each year, more than 500 doctoral students join INRA, all remunerated on contracts and in most cases associated with various private and public partners.



INRA is proposing special contracts in 2010



These contracts offer doctoral students particularly attractive conditions in terms of the duration of the contract and remuneration:



Recruitment of Associate Scientists on Contract



Associate Scientists on Contract (ASC) are recruited to carry out a thesis at INRA on subjects combining modelling and agronomic issues.

PhD student working on Behavioral Service Substitution (BOSS)

PhD student working on Behavioral Service Substitution (BOSS)


The position is for 4 years and funded by NWO.

Service-orientation aims at composing complex systems from simpler systems, called services. One fundamental problem is to decide when a service can be substituted by another service. In this project, we approach this problem by combining theoretical research and applicability in industrial settings. To this end, we investigate a theoretical foundation of service substitution at the level of service models. Among others, we develop algorithms to decide service substitution and to construct substitutable services. We implement and integrate the theoretical results into service technology tools available at http://service-technology.org/tools and embed it in other tools such as ProM and BPM/SOA platforms.



The project will be conducted in the AIS group under the supervision of prof.dr. Wil van der Aalst and dr. Christian Stahl. The AIS group is part of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. The department provides undergraduate and MSc programs in Industrial and Applied Mathematics and in Computer Science. The Department has research collaborations with other Departments at the Technische

Universiteit Eindhoven as well as with a large number of other universities and companies, both at home and abroad. The Department has approximately 350 employees and more than 700 students.



The AIS group is doing research in the area of process modeling and analysis. The group is rated as one of the leading computer science groups in the Netherlands and TU/e often seen as the epicenter of BPM research. The group uses formal methods such as Petri nets to design, analyze, and implement dynamic systems. The group is well-versed in workflow management, process mining, and process verification. See www.workflowpatterns.com, www.workflowcourse.com, www.processmining.org,

www.yawl-system.com, www.win.tue.nl/ais/, www.wvdaalst.com, and

www.tue.nl for more information.



In the project we collaborate with Humboldt-Universitä t zu Berlin and Universität Rostock in the context of the B.E.S.T. (Berlin-Rostock- Eindhoven Service Technology) Program (https://www2.informatik.hu-berlin.de/top/best/).



Requirements:



We are looking for a candidate who meets the following requirements:

- a solid background in Computer Science and interested in systems for process support (demonstrated by a relevant Master);

- programming skills in C/C++/Java

- candidates from non-Dutch or non-English speaking countries should be prepared to prove their English language skills;

- good communicative skills in English, both in speaking and in writing.



We are looking for candidates who really want to make a difference and like to do theoretical research, on the one hand, and to implement these results such that they can be applied to industrial services, on the other hand.



Appointment and salary:



See http://w3.tue.nl/en/services/dpo/conditions_of_employment/formal_conditions_of_employment/ for more information on working at TU/e, salary, etc.



Application:

Interested candidates are requested to send an application by e-mail to Ine van der Ligt (e-mail: wsinfsys@tue. nl) with the subject field "BOSS Vacancy AIS".



The application should consist of the following parts:

- motivational letter;

· Astroparticle Physics

· Functional and Structural Genomics

· Geometry

· Mathematical Analysis

· Mathematical Physics

· Neuroscience (Neurobiology / Cognitive Neuroscience)

· Physics and Chemistry of Biological Systems

· Statistical Physics

· Theory of Elementary Particles

· Theory and Numerical Simulation of Condensed Matter



The Ph.D. courses in Astroparticle Physics, Geometry, Mathematical Physics and Theory of Elementary Particles start in October; all other courses start in November of each year. They last 3 years and may be extended for a fourth year, subject to approval by the School authorities.



Students who are not citizens of European Union member states have two possibilities to be admitted to SISSA as a Ph.D student:



1) to pass the regular entrance examination (written and oral) held in Trieste.

Details can be found at the web page: http://www.sissa.it/main/?p=COURSES_PHD_C2



2) to pass a Spring preselection based on academic and scientific qualifications as well as on letters of reference. Students selected in this way will therefore enter the School without taking the regular entrance examination, but will be expected to pass a qualifying examination within the first year of study.



Applicants interested in participating in this pre-selection must have a University degree which qualifies them for a Ph.D programme.



The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) Subject Test is required for applicants in Theory of Elementary Particles but is also recommended for applicants to the other courses. Any further information which the candidate may consider useful will be welcome.



An online application must be filled and sent using the procedure available at the page http://www.sissa.it/applications by the deadlines shown in the schedule of each Ph.D course.



Candidates should upload the following documents in pdf format:

- curriculum vitae et studiorum;

- a certificate of University examinations taken (with marks) in Italian, English, French, German or Spanish;

- a final degree certificate in Italian, English, French, German or Spanish;

- If, at the time of application, candidates should not be yet in possession of a degree certificate, they can submit it at the time of the examination.



European Union candidates can submit a personal declaration instead of the aforementioned certificates.

- a copy of the diploma thesis (if any).



Candidates will have to indicate the names and email addresses of two professors that will be asked to send a recommendation letter through the same online procedure.

A confirmation message will be sent to the candidate when he/she will complete the application process.



The candidate will then have to print out the admission request form, sign it and send it, together with a copy o fan ID document (i.e. passport) by fax or post to the address printed on the form itself.



The request form must reach SISSA by 8th April, 2010. Late arrival of the application, for whatever reason, will not be accepted.



All necessary information about the online procedure can be found at the page http://www.sissa.it/applications
