Identification number of advertisement: 612
The interdisciplinary PhD-Program focuses on violent conflicts at territorial and social borders, on diverse forms of cultural and religious fundamentalism, on shifting responsibilities and power relations in nation-states as well as on new processes of the commodification of human bodies. Moreover, local and translocal strategies of alliances and national as well as transnational scales of belonging, empowerment and self-organization will be of major interest. The program will encourage
research projects in four research areas:
1) constructing and deconstructing gendered geopolitical and social borders,
i.e. trafficking, citizenship of migrants, domestic violence;
2) cultural diversity and fundamentalist responses, i.e. "cultural violence",
empowerment of migrant women;
3) transforming state power and violence, i.e. new wars, governmentalization
of state power, transnational women's networks;
4) bodies in conflict, i.e. cosmetic surgery, reproductive medicine.
Violence and agency in globalization processes include economic, political, social, legal, epistemological and cultural dimensions and call for historical as well as for normative perspectives. One of the major aspects is studying the intersection of multiple differences and the structure of
inequality, e. g. gender, class, ethnicity and sexuality.
Eligibility:
Students from all countries of origin who hold a university degree equivalent to an international MA or Austrian "Magister" in Law, History, Political Science, Sociology, Philosophy, German Philology, Cultural Anthropology

PhD Position in Computer Science, France at the University of Bourgogne
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.
