Eiffel Scholarhips Programme 2009/2010, France

Deadline: Vendredi, 9 janvier 2009

The French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs launched the
Eiffel excellence scholarship programme in January 1999 to support
French centres of higher education in their international outreach
initiatives, in a context of mounting competition among developed
countries to attract elite students from overseas. In 2005, the
scheme was extended with the Eiffel Doctorate programme, addressing
high-calibre PhD students.

For greater clarity, the French Ministry of Foreign and European
Affairs is now introducing a single application procedure for its
Eiffel Scholarship and Eiffel Doctorate Scholarship programmes.

The new Eiffel programme thus covers two types of course:

Master’s postgraduate degree course
Ten-month co-tutored or co-managed component (preferably second or
third year) of PhD course

The objectives of the Eiffel excellence programme run by the French
Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs remain unchanged, the first
being to offer French higher-education opportunities for future
public- and private-sector decision-makers in three priority areas:
science; economics & management; and law & political science.

PhD Scholarship in Sociality and Cognition in Carrion Crows, Valladolid University, Spain

A four-year funded PhD studentship is available at the University of Valladolid to investigate the relationship between sociality and cognition in carrion crows. Recent investigation on different corvid species has revealed surprisingly advanced cognitive abilities that sometimes rival those of non-human primates. In some species the individuals proved to possess the “theory of mind”, that is the ability of attribute mental states and intentions to other individuals, and to modify their own behaviour according to the intentions attributed to others.

Sociality is though to be a key factor promoting the evolution of intelligence, which appears to be more advanced in species that live in stable groups. However, the adaptive function of intelligence in these species is not yet clear, as it is not fully known how these cognitive abilities are used in nature, what kind of problems they contribute to solve, and how they influence individual decisions in a changing social environment. We intend to address questions about social environment, cognitive abilities, adaptive function of intelligence and cooperative solution of problems in carrion crows kept in captivity.

Supervisors: Dr Vittorio Baglione (University of Valladolid); Dr Daniela Canestrari (University of Granada).

Requisites for applicants
Bachelor degree in Biology, Natural Sciences, Psychology
Master degree or related title (e.g. obtained through a 2 years program of research or specialization)
Good knowledge of English (certified through an official examination like IELTS, TOEFL, or similar)
Aptitude of working in a group, and capability of developing an independent research line

How to Apply
Send us an email to info[ at ]cooperativecrows.com, explaining the reasons for applying as PhD student in our project, research interests, and previous experience.

Please include: A complete CV with indication of the requisites stated above; two presentation letters from former professors or employers; a research project of maximum 2 A4 sheets, written in English.

The deadline for applications is 30/10/2008

2 funded PhD positions in physical hydrogeology and hydrodynamic modelling at NUI Galway (Ireland)

The Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences (EOS) at NUI Galway supports 10
academic staff, 4 senior researchers, 6 post-doctoral researchers and about
30 post-graduate students who contribute to multi-disciplinary research
across a wide range of topics in earth, ocean and environmental sciences.
The Griffith Geoscience Research Awards (GGRA), established by the Minister
for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and managed by the
Geological Survey of Ireland, seek to attract early stage researchers from
abroad and to encourage Irish researchers to visit international centres of
geoscience research. EOS has been awarded > €3m within the GGRA scheme to
expand its research in coastal and marine science and is seeking applicants
for 2 funded 4-year post-graduate research positions, one each in the
following areas:

*PhD 1: The ‘Understanding coastal aquifers in karst regions’* project is
concerned with integrating aqueous chemistry, geophysics and hydrogeology to
establish the chemical variability of groundwater and the pathways
connecting coastal aquifers with coastal surface and transitional waters
along the west coast of Ireland. We require a PhD student with demonstrable
experience in physical hydrogeology to acquire data necessary for the
development of conceptual and practical models of recharge, storage and flow
in karst regions of the Burren in the west of Ireland. The student will
focus on submarine groundwater storage and discharge using physico-chemical
parameters, calculations of transit times of water in coastal karstic
catchments using natural isotopes, calculations of the flow-time
distribution, quantification of event water to the total runoff and
identification of ‘hot-spots’ in eastern Galway Bay. Some experience in
modelling of groundwater flow regimes would be an advantage. The outcomes of
the research project are congruent with the aims of the EU Groundwater
Directive.

*PhD 2: The ‘Understanding the seabed’* project brings together a range of
researchers with expertise in geophysics, sedimentology, hydrodynamic
modeling, oceanography and benthic biology. The project is using Geological
Survey of Ireland and national Marine Institute databases from the INFOMAR
programme to understand wave and current dynamics and their interaction with
seabed processes in the coastal zone. We require a PhD student to help with
the construction and interpretation of coupled hydrodynamic - sediment
transport models in order to understand seabed sediment processes and their
effects on benthic habitats. An initial study area will be Galway Bay,
particularly at its eastern end, where there is an abundance of existing
data on seabed geophysics and geology, benthic currents, hydrographic and
ancillary environmental data.

Norway PhD Student in Logics for Multi-Agent Systems at Bergen University College

Bergen University College, Faculty of Engineering, has an open position for a PhD student in logics for multi-agent systems. The contract is for 4 years with 25% teaching duties. The PhD student will be attached to the Department of Computer Engineering, and the position is in the faculty`s prioritised area software development. The position forms a part of the faculty`s research programme in software development for distributed systems which is being developed to be one of the University College`s strategic research programmes.

The programme currently involves 7 permanent professors and associate professors and several PhD and masters students. The Department is responsible for the bachelor programmes in computer engineering and information technology, as well as a masters programme in software development in collaboration with Department of Informatics, University of Bergen.

Multi-agent systems are software systems consisting of interacting autonomous components called agents. Autonomy entails that an agent`s behaviour is determined by its individual goals and beliefs about its environments, as opposed to central control. Agents need a way to represent their beliefs about the rest of the system, and a mechanism for reasoning about the system. When we design multi-agent systems we need a way to specify their properties and a method for verifying that a system has a given property. These are some of the reasons formal logic is considered to form one of the formal underpinnings of multi-agent systems. Logic is used for knowledge representation for agents, and is the foundation for tools which let us specify, verify and automatically synthesise multi-agent systems. Logics suitable for this purpose are logics for reasoning about various aspects of interaction. Such aspects include epistemic, intentional, strategic, normative, temporal, etc.

TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT, GRE, SAT Preparation Material. Its Free!!

The research tasks for the student will be to develop and study logics for interaction in multi-agent systems.

The successful applicant must have achieved a masters degree, or equivalent, in computer or information science, logic, or a similar field. Candidates who have submitted their master thesis for evaluation by the deadline of this call may apply if the degree is given within four weeks. No later than 6 months after the appointment is made the PhD student must be enrolled at a PhD study programme at the degree awarding institution (see below).

When evaluating the applicants weight will be put on competence in the research area as described above. The applicant should be competent in formal logic, preferably modal logic. Competence in related areas such as game theory or social choice theory will be an advantage. Existing research experience will count in the evaluation, as will a possible outline of a plan for the PhD research project.

The PhD student must enrol in an approved 4 years PhD programme. 25% of the time will be spent on duties such as teaching, development or administrative tasks. The employment period may be reduced if the successful applicant has held previous employment as a research fellow.

Bergen University College cannot award the PhD degree itself, but will together with a degree awarding institution develop a detailed plan for the PhD studies. The degree awarding institution will be chosen by Bergen University College, and has on previous similar occasions been the University of Bergen. The PhD student will be assigned an academic supervisor at Bergen University College, who will collaborate in applying for enrolment in a PhD programme depending on the candidate`s background. An application for enrolment should first be submitted after an appointment is made. If the evaluation committee finds that several applicants have approximately the same qualifications, the rules for allocation by sex quota in the personnel regulations will be used.

Applicants for the position will be evaluated by a committee consisting of three members.
