China : Scholarships for International Graduate Degree Program
Netherlands : PhD-students-Rotterdam Business and the Ruhr Industry
This summer a new research project will start at the faculty of History and Arts, funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and entitled: For the following three subprojects the faculty is searching for three PhD-Students: a) Coal, Iron Ore and Steel
Outport and Hinterland: Rotterdam Business and the Ruhr Industry, 1870-2000
This research project aims to explore the development of the economic links between Rotterdam, Rotterdam business and the Rhine mouth ports on the one hand, and the Ruhr district and Ruhr industry on the other in the course of the 1870-2000 period. The central research questions are: how and why economic interdependencies between Rotterdam and its hinterland evolved over these 130 years, in which way the main actors shaped the cross-border region, and what role networks or clusters played in this process.
Rotterdam Business and the German ‘Montan’ Industry, 1870-1940
b) Opting for Oil.
Rotterdam’s Oil Harbour and the Move from Coal to Petrochemical
Feedstock of the Rhine Industry, 1945-1970
c) The Box and Rotterdam’s New Hinterland.
The Rise of Container Transport and Globalisation,1970-2000
The project focuses on two main actors in the Lower Rhine economy, i.e. firms and governments. The guiding theory is based on ideas of
agglomeration or clustering as used in economic geography.
The project will start in July, 2009 and will be concluded in the summer of 2013.

UK : 13 PhD Studentships In Atmospheric And Climate Research, Hydrology, Oceanography And Molecular Physics
We are excited to offer 13 PhD studentships as part of a Marie Curie Initial Training Network, funded by the European Union. Please note the following job announcement and forward it to interested parties especially Masters and final year BSc students.
Many thanks and best regards
Jan Kaiser on behalf of the INTRAMIF network
INitial TRAining network on Mass Independent Fractionation (INTRAMIF):
13 three-year PhD studentships in atmospheric and climate research, hydrology, oceanography and molecular physics
As part of the EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network “INTRAMIF”, we seek to appoint 13 talented early stage researchers for the following positions at institutions in Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The projects revolve around using anomalies in the distribution of stable oxygen isotopes (so-called “mass independent fractionation” , short “MIF”) to address scientific problems in various disciplines of earth system science. The team of INTRAMIF supervisors comprises experts from atmospheric and climate research, hydrology, oceanography and molecular physics. Sharing their expertise and world-class facilities will allow the individual researchers to do interdisciplinary work in the European research environment. The broad scientific program combines specialized training at the host institutions with a unique interdisciplinary and intra-sector network training program on the climate system in close interaction with
non-academic partner institutions from the industrial, political and economic sectors.
Successful applicants will be paid a salary for three years to cover their living expenses. In addition to conducting their research projects, they will attend associated training modules that include summer schools, skills courses, scientific meetings etc.
Detailed information about the available projects and information how to apply can be found at http://www.phys. uu.nl/~intramif
Applications must be received by 1 July 2009.
Notes:
• The early stage researchers will be registered for a PhD at their host institution.
• The earliest start date is 1 September 2009.
• In accordance with Marie Curie mobility regulations, we are able to offer these posts to researchers who, at the time of appointment, are within the first four years (or full-time equivalent) of their research careers, i.e. within four years of obtaining their first degree that qualifies them to embark on a doctorate.
• Applicants are not eligible for positions in their country of citizenship or their country of residence.
• Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in the English Language (e. g. with a TOEFL score of at least 230).
• Efforts will be made to increase participation of women researchers.
• Use the contacts given on the website if you require further information.

Germany : PhD Studentship on Molecular Modelling of Enzymes at a Water-Substrate Interface, Stuttgart University
Cluster of Excellence in Simulation Technology
Universität Stuttgart with its 20,000 students and 7,000 employees is one of the leading European Research Universities with a main focus on engineering and natural sciences. Universität Stuttgart is committed to excellent basic and applied research and interdisciplinary academic education. The excellence initiative of the German state and federal governments has approved the funding of the Cluster of Excellence EXC 310 Simulation Technology (SimTech) at Universität Stuttgart (www.simtech. uni-stuttgart. de). In this context, the newly established Stuttgart Research Centre for Simulation Technology (SRC SimTech) is asking for applications for a
PhD student for the project Molecular Modelling of Enzymes at a Water-Substrate Interface
to pursue research in future-orientated research fields.
Lipases und PHA depolymerases are interesting enzymes for many biotechnological applications. While they are water soluble, they convert water-insoluble substrates by binding to the water-substrate interface. Our goal is to understand the molecular basis of the different substrate specificities of lipases and PHA depolymerases which convert triglycerides and polyesters, respectively. In this project, the molecular mechanism of binding will be studied by molecular dynamics simulations of large, realistic protein systems to understand the effect of the interface to structure and dynamics of the enzyme, and to design enzyme variants with improved biochemical properties in collaboration with our experimental project partners.
Candidates with a degree preferably in biology or chemistry and interested in an interdisciplinary and application oriented project at the interface between life science and engineering are invited to send their application to Prof. Dr. Jürgen Pleiss (Juergen.Pleissatit b.uni-stuttgart. de), Institute of Technical Biochemistry, Allmandring 31, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany.
Postdoc and PhDs are expected to participate actively in the SimTech Teaching Programmes and Industry Transfer Concepts.
Applications with the usual documents (CV, degree certificates, references, publication list, letter of motivation) should be sent directly to the Professors/Junior Professors to arrive not later than April 30, 2009.
Universität Stuttgart wishes to increase the proportion of female academic staff and, for this reason, especially welcomes applications from women. Severely challenged persons will be given preference in case of equal qualifications.
For further positions and information please see: www.simtech. uni-stuttgart. de
Application deadline: 30 April 2009
Netherlands : PhD Scholarship on Ageing-Related Hearing Disorders, University of Groningen
The University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands is offering various “Ubbo Emmius” PhD-scholarships. Candidates are hereby invited to apply for the position with vacancy number “UE-vac-10″ with the following description.
Various prevalent hearing disorders in elderly people crucially involve neural mechanisms in the brain. For instance, in tinnitus (ringing in the ears), abnormal interactions between auditory and non-auditory brain areas are believed to cause the perception of phantom sounds. In presbyacusis (hearing loss) or deafness, deprivation of acoustic input may result in abnormal cross-modal plastic reorganization. Novel fMRI neuroimaging and neurovisualization methods can identify anatomical and functional connectivity patterns throughout the brain, even during rest. The candidate will investigate these methods and apply them to study ageing-related hearing complaints, like tinnitus and severe hearing loss, and their underlying neural mechanisms.
The applicant may express his/her interest in this position before 01 May 2009, and will subsequently have the opportunity to submit a research proposal, together with the principal investigators. More information about the application procedure is available from the website:
http://www.graduate schoolguide. nl/html/organisa tion/vacancies. htm
or from the principal investigators prof. dr. Pim van Dijk (p.van.dijk@med. umcg.nl) and dr. Dave Langers (d.r.m.langers@ med.umcg. nl).
