PhD Scholarship in Plasticity, Technical University of Denmark

PhD – Scholarship in Plasticity
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Solid Mechanics Section
A 3-year Ph.D. scholarship is available at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Solid Mechanics Section, from mid 2008.

Reinforcement of polymers using carbon nano-tubes or nano-sized SiC particles can be applied to increase the stiffness. For composites, in which the reinforcing fibers are on very different size scales, very high strain gradients in the matrix material near the fibers can affect the overall properties significantly.

Higher order continuum theories (strain gradient models) can be used to model the matrix material at the relevant small scale, accounting for effects of boundary layers of constrained plastic deformations around the hard reinforcing fibers. For the relatively low volume fractions used in nano reinforced materials it may prove useful to also add fibers on a larger scale. The effect of reinforcing materials with fibers on different length scales is the focus of this Ph.D. study. The aim is to develop methods for analyzing nano- and micro-reinforced materials, through advanced numerical models accounting for the relevant small scale plastic deformation.

The Solid Mechanics Section at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, has a long tradition of front edge research within the area of materials mechanics, and we have close collaborations with other strong groups both in Denmark and abroad.

We offer a stimulating environment, focused on research at an international level.

Candidates should have a master’s degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree in engineering.

The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. Information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies is included in the general rules of DTU, which may be obtained by application to the PhD programme office at tel: +45 45 25 11 76 or +45 45 25 11 77.

The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students.

Further information is available at www.mek.dtu.dk, or by contacting associate professor Christian Niordson, cn[ at ]mek.dtu.dk, +45 4525 4287.

Applications with enclosures in triplicate (electronic applications will not be considered) must be received no later than April 1st, at 12.00 noon by

PhD Positions at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, The Netherlands

We are looking for excellent candidates for the PhD project.
Title PhD project: Intelligent Trading Agents that Facilitate Decision Making in Multi-Agent Marketplaces using Preference Modeling
PhD supervisors: Eric van Heck, Wolf Ketter

Abstract: Modern business networks and markets are highly dynamic and exhibit a high degree of uncertainty. Under these conditions business managers are routinely faced with complex strategic, tactical, and operational decisions; decisions ranging from the macroscopic (i.e. which markets should we enter and when?) to the microscopic (i.e. which products should be packed on which pallet?).

Also customers are faced with multi attribute decisions, such as from whom can I book a travel under certain constraints (money, time, quality, etc)? Within this project we investigate how learning agents may be designed to support humans in these decision making processes. We define learning agents as software entities that carry out some set of operations on behalf of a user or another program with some degree of independence or autonomy, improve their performance from experience and in so doing employ some knowledge or representation of the user’s goals or needs.

The candidate must fit in the following profile:
MSc or MBA degree in Business Administration, or Management & Economics, or Information Management, or Computer science & Economics; Excellent study record; International orientation and the capacity to speak and write in English; Affiliation with the IT industry, Commitment and drive to execute PhD research.

PhD Studentships in Computational Models of Visual Processing, University of Edinburgh, UK

PhD Studentship - Computational Models of Visual Processing
Institute of Communicating and Collaborative Systems
The Institute of Communicating and Collaborative Systems (ICCS) within the School of Informatics and the Human Communication Research Centre (HCRC) invites applications for a three-year PhD studentship funded by the European Research Council, starting in September 2008.

The successful applicant will work on a project that investigates the synchronous processing of linguistic and visual information. The project studies key features of synchronous processing by tracking participants’ eye movements when they view a naturalistic scene and listen to a speech stimulus at the same time. The experimental results will feed into a series of computational models that predict the eye-movement patterns that humans exhibit when they view a scene and listen to speech at the same time. These models will incrementally construct aligned linguistic and visual representations, and will be evaluated against eye-tracking data.

The PhD student will be part of a team of experts in linguistic and visual processing, including both experimentalists and computational modellers. The student will contribute to the modelling component of the project, and should have previous experience in image processing, computer vision, or computational models of perception and attention. Applicants should have a good honours degree or equivalent in cognitive science, artificial intelligence, computer science, or a related discipline. Good programming skills, preferably in Matlab, Java, C, or C++, are required. Familiarity with probabilistic modelling and machine learning is essential.

The studentship will provide maintenance only funding at an enhanced UK research council rate.

Informal enquiries regarding this studentship can be made to Dr Frank Keller (keller[ at ]inf.ed.ac.uk). Further details about the project can
also be found at: http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/events/news/kellerercgrant.html

Applications are welcome from UK, EU and overseas candidates. To apply please submit an application form and the required application papers, including a statement of research interests (which should include details regarding the particular research direction you would be interested in within the remit of this studentship). Application forms and details on how to apply are available from our website at http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/postgraduate/apply.html (at question 21 on the application form, please indicate “ICCS ERC Studentship”).

Application deadline: 31 March 2008.

Applications after that date may be considered if the studentship has not been allocated.
