PhD Positions in Upscaling Small-scale Land and Water System Innovations, UNESCO-IHE

PhD position available at UNESCO-IHE (SSI-2 Project), Upscaling small-scale land and water system innovations in dryland agro-ecosystems for sustainability and livelihood improvements (SSI-2)
Re-Advertisement
Recently, an interdisciplinary research project was approved by the UNESCO-IHE Partnership Research Fund (UPaRF).

This project will form part of the broader successor programme of SSI, in which the following institutes collaborate: UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education (Delft, The Netherlands), University of Dar Es Salaam, University of KwaZulu Natal, Delft University of Technology, the International Water Management Institute, Sokoine University of Agriculture and the Stockholm Resilience Centre.

Within the current project a PhD positions is available, linked to the themes described below. If successful, the PhD degree will be awarded by Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands.

Project description
The project focuses on the semi-arid areas of sub-Saharan Africa, where 95% of the total agricultural land is used for rainfed agriculture, water availability is scarce and highly variable, and average yields often remain below 1 ton per ha. The resilience of the farming systems is low as well, due the large (and increasing) variability of the hydro-climatic conditions and a limited capacity to adapt. As a result, crop failure is the norm. Water availability is a key entry point to improve crop productivity in these regions (Falkenmark and Rockström, 2004).

The research and outreach programme of "Smallholder systems innovations in integrated watershed management" (SSI-1, 2004-2008) thus focused on the identification and application of innovative agricultural water management practices that offer opportunities to increase both food security and safeguard environmental integrity. The impact of these innovations on food production and ecosystems has been studied at field and watershed scale at sites in the Thukela river basin in South Africa and the Pangani river basin in Tanzania.

There is a growing awareness that a real transformation of the countryside will only be possible if innovative soil and water technologies and land and water management practices are adopted, and locally adapted, at a large scale and in combination with increased fertilizer use (see e.g. Rijsberman, 2004; Polak, 2005; Rockström et al., 2007). Only then will rural areas be able to transform from their current position of marginalization and poverty to a motor of socio-economic development (Prahalad, 2004).

Since the conditions under which such a transformation may occur, as well as the potential impacts at different scales, are still ill-understood, a new project will focus on the socio-economic and bio-physical conditions and impacts of upscaling these innovations. This new project (SSI-2, 2008-2012) will take note of some new drivers that influence the opportunities for agricultural innovation and rural socio-economic transformation: increasing food prices, increased access to information in the rural countryside, climate change impacts, and the limited access of farmers to energy sources in the face of an increasing global demand for biofuels (e.g., de Wit and Stankiewics, 2006; Uhlenbrook, 2007). The two PhD research projects form part of the broader SSI-2 programme.

PhD Project 1: Water processes at different spatial scales
This research theme addresses the hydrological implications for up-scaling land and water system innovations. The objective is to gain better understanding of the interactions between processes linking local and larger scales.

The analysis focuses on how the dominant hydrological processes may change at different spatial scales. The research builds on the understanding of the hydrological processes gained during SSI-1, with a stronger emphasis on groundwater-surface water interactions and potential implications of/for land management changes.

It is hypothesised that surface-groundwater interactions are critical to the impacts of water system innovations, and that it impacts vary with scale and different physiographic characteristics.

This hypothesis will be verified in the field and the results used for predictive modelling to determine impacts of up-scaled use of WSIs on water quantity and quality for downstream users under different scenarios. The surface-groundwater interactions (including wetlands) are also crucial for the hydrological variability and water resources availability at different scales and, consequently, for the provision of ecosystem services.

Research question: What are the hydrological impacts of small scale farming activities, incl. water system innovations, across different scales? Particular attention will be paid to different types of rainwater harvesting, supplementary irrigation and full scale irrigation.

Methodology: Understanding the hydrological impacts of small scale farming activities across different scales, requires the understanding of the hydrological processes at these scales. This research will take up the small scale hydrological understanding (project 3.1) and investigate the large scale (500-5,000-45,000 km2) hydrological processes through the use of remote sensing data combined with field observations (incl. hydro-chemical and tracers studies). Of particular interest is the groundwater surface water interaction (incl. generation of wetlands) and the impact of this on the downstream water availability (PBWO, 2006). A process-based distributed hydrological model will be developed to investigate different scenarios of uptake and extent of the small scale farming activities.

This study will be supervised by Prof. Dr. Stefan Uhlenbrook, Dr. Jan Willem Foppen, Dr Shreedhar Maskey (UNESCO-IHE), Dr. T.A. Kimaro (UDSM).

The following applies to the position:
* All topics will be carried out in a so-called sandwich construction with different phases at UNESCO-IHE in the Netherlands and field research in Tanzania (with regular contacts with Tanzanian and Dutch supervisors).
* PhD positions are funded with a fellowship for which NUFFIC regulations apply.
* Starting date: April 1, 2009 for 4 years.
* Qualifications: M.Sc. degree (average mark: 80% or above) in a discipline relevant to the topic, e.g. environmental engineering, socio-economics of the water sector, hydrology and water resources.
* The applicants must demonstrate a strong interest and experience in conducting interdisciplinary research.
* The applicant should be willing to co-operated with other researchers in the SSI-2 programme
* The applicants should be willing to co-supervise MSc research projects.
* The applicants must be fluent in English.
* Preferred country of citizenship of the applicants is Tanzania.
* Age: 40 years and below.
* Work experience in relevant fields of studies is desirable.

The project it is jointly led by Dr. T.A. Kimaro (kimaro[ at ]wrep.udsm.ac.tz) and Ms. M.L. Mul (m.mul[ at ]unesco-ihe.org) of UNESCO-IHE.

Applications, including curriculum vitae, the names and contact details of three contactable referees, and a motivation letter, should be sent by email to both Dr. T.A. Kimaro and Ms. M.L. Mul before 31 January 2009. Please mention the subject heading "PhD application SSI-2 project 1".

PhD Position in Chemistry-cloud-climate links in the Marine Boundary Layer, the University of East Anglia 2009/2010

Description:
A PhD position for 3 years is available at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK to investigate the role of stratiform clouds for the chemistry and the role of chemistry for cloud properties and climate forcing (funding unfortunately only for UK/EU students).

Clouds have a profound effect on climate due to their ability to reflect sunlight back to space and thermal radiation back to the Earth.

At the core of each cloud droplet there is a so-called cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) that determines the properties of the droplet. Many different types of particles act as CCN, each with different properties.

The goal of this project is to improve our quantitative understanding of the bi-directional links between chemistry, the CCN population and stratiform clouds as well as between these clouds and climate (via so-called indirect aerosol effects). Our main interests are stratiform clouds in the marine boundary layer (MBL), how their microphysical and optical properties are affected by chemistry including gas-to-particle formation of new CCN and growth of CCN as well as how the clouds affect the chemistry in the MBL. Furthermore we will examine crucial steps of a widely publicised hypothesis of natural climate regulation (the “CLAW-hypothesis”).

To this end the PhD student is supposed to use the Large Eddy Model, LEM, of the Met Office which will be extended as part of this project to include a simplified description of chemistry and the interaction with warm cloud microphysics. The use of the LEM will give us the opportunity to study whole cloud systems of scales of kilometres with high vertical and horizontal resolution. The results from these model runs will be compared with field data for example from the upcoming VOCALS-Rex campaign to be held in Oct/Nov 2008 in the southeast Pacific. The specific objectives of this studentship are: (1) To quantify the chemical processes that control new particle formation and particle growth in the marine boundary layer (MBL). (2) To quantify indirect radiative effects based on (1). (3) To quantify the impact of aerosol and cloud chemistry on the chemistry in the MBL.

BIOINFORMATICS POSTDOC The Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam

Topic:

Pathway-based tumour characterisation by alignment against
cell
panels along multiple molecular dimensions.


Research:

Astra Zeneca Oncology has constructed large cell panels to serve as in
vitro models for drug response. These cell panels have been extensively
characterized by mutation analysis, mRNA expression, aCGH, response to a wide
variety of drugs, micro-RNA expression and phosphoprotein characterization. In
parallel, the same measurements are being performed on a collection of
colorectal samples. In this project two aims are pursued. First, a comparative
analysis will be performed between the cell line data and the tumor data to
determine the multi-dimensional molecular states spanned by the cell lines and
whether these states faithfully recapitulate the space spanned by a
representative and clinically relevant selection of tumor samples.

Guided by
this mapping and by following a pathway-based approach, integrative modeling
will be applied on the cell line panel data to construct models predictive of
resistance.


Job description:

The successful candidate will be responsible for the bioinformatics
analysis of the cell line and tissue data. More specifically, these tasks
include 1) constructing a comprehensive gene list of the PI3K and ERK network;
2) Molecular characterisation of the colorectal cell panel and tumour samples
through integrative analysis of the various data sources within the space
spanned by the identified network genes and 3) Pathway-based alignment of cell
panel to tumours to determine the extent to which the cell panel recapitulates
the heterogeneity in the tissue set.


Location:

The position is embedded within the Bioinformatics and statistics group
lead by Dr Lodewyk Wessels (http://bioinformatics.nki.nl) at the
Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam and the Oncology Informatics group,
Discovery Medicine, Astra Zeneca, Alderley Park, UK lead by Dr Tim French. We
plan to have regular meetings, and the postdoc will also spend time at both
locations.


Requirements:

PhD / Postdoc Positions Netherlands Cancer Institute

The Netherlands: PhD / Postdoc Positions in Systems Biology of Insertional Mutagenesis, Netherlands Cancer Institute

PhD / Postdoc Positions in Systems Biology of Insertional Mutagenesis, Netherlands Cancer Institute, The Netherlands

A major goal of cancer research is to understand the gene networks that control tumorigenesis. Towards this end, large scale in vivo insertional mutagenesis screens are performed at the NKI. While this approach is extremely powerful, it still suffers from some limitations. First, viral insertions in the genome are not completely random, but show substantial biases. Second, when a virus integrates in an intergenic region, it is difficult to predict which of the surrounding genes will be affected. Third, the expression status of the integrated provirus itself is likely to be affected by the local chromatin structure.

In this project we will employ very large scale insertion data obtained via deep sequencing, expression data en newly generated and public genome and chromatin profiling datasets to construct predictive models of insertion bias, effects of the environment on the genes and the effects of the insertions on genes. These models will be validated through directed perturbations of components identified in the modeling step as critical.

Requirements:
The ideal candidates will have a background in one of the following areas: bioinformatics, engineering, computer science, statistics, physics, biotechnology, or biology. Knowledge of fundamental aspects of computer science (algorithms and data structures, programming languages) is required. Knowledge of statistics, artificial intelligence or bioinformatics is highly desirable.

Level: PhD

Duties: Research,Project Work

Specialty Areas: Historical Linguistics
Semantics and Syntax
Required Language(s): Japanese (jpn)

Japanese Family

Description:

Applications are invited for a fully funded studentship in the Faculty of
Oriental Studies, University of Oxford, for a doctoral student who will work for
the Oxford D.Phil degree within the research project ‘Verb semantics and
argument realization in pre-modern Japanese: a comprehensive study of the basic
syntax of pre-modern Japanese,’ generously funded by the Arts and Humanities
Research Council, UK. The studentship, which is open to UK and EU students,
covers tuition fees as well as maintenance.
The doctoral student will be given the opportunity to work on his/her own
research within the project and will also form a full part of the research team
and contribute to all aspects of the overall project, including work on the text
database.

The overall research project: ‘Argument realization’ is a fundamentally
important aspect of the syntax of a language which concerns the way in which
verb meaning determines the number of arguments and their morpho-syntactic and
semantic properties. The project will investigate this in detail for pre-modern
Japanese, in essence giving a comprehensive account of the basic grammar of each
of the stages of the Japanese language, from the beginning of its recorded
history in the 8th century until the beginning of the 17th century.

The project begins in January 2009 and finishes in September 2013. The initial
phase of the project will consist in building an extensive electronic database
of texts which will form the basis for the descriptive and analytical work of
the project. The results of the project will bear on the description and
understanding of pre-modern Japanese and its changes through time and will also
have a number of implications for general linguistic theory. See the website
listed above for more information.

The D.Phil. project: The D.Phil. project can be on any area within the overall
research project.
Application: Candidates are expected to have an MA or M.Phil in Japanese or in
Linguistics. Applicants from other fields, or with very strong undergraduate
degrees, are welcome, but must have demonstrable competence in modern Japanese
and in some form of pre-modern Japanese, as well as in linguistics.
Applications should be submitted through the usual Graduate Admissions Process
for the University of Oxford (see the application address below). In particular,
applicants are asked to take note of the following points:

1. Applicants should submit an application for the Doctor of Philosophy in
Oriental Studies.

2. Applicants should in their study plan and research proposal make clear that
they wish to be associated with the research project ‘Verb semantics and
argument realization in premodern Japanese’. They should outline their interest
in and background for the research project, but need not work out a detailed
research proposal.

3. Applicants should make clear in their study plan and research proposal, and
in the section marked “Funding”, that they wish to be considered for the
studentship attached to the project ‘Verb semantics and argument realization in
premodern Japanese’. They should also indicate in their application whether they
wished to be considered for admission even if their application for this
particular funding is not successful.

For further information please contact: either the Oriental Studies Graduate
Office (e-mail: admissions@orinst.ox.ac.uk) or the director of the research
project Professor Bjarke Frellesvig (bjarke.frellesvig@orinst.ox.ac.uk).

Postgraduate Scholarship Melbourne Australia

Postgraduate Scholarship Avaliable - La Trobe University,
Melbourne , Australia

Two Year Postgraduate Scholarship in Emotionally Intelligent ICTs for Social
Innovation

School of Business
La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia

As part of an Open Innovation Research Program with global electronics
corporation NEC Japan, Masters by Research scholarships are available for
deserving candidates.

* Background*

Sensemaking is an emerging paradigm for understanding social dynamics in
organisations. It postulates that the process of translating the personal
interpretation, knowledge or meaning into a specific behaviour, decision or
action is moderated by interaction of an individual’s rational with their
affective characteristics. It proposes to significantly alter the analysis
and interpretation of data about people, internet users and employees in an
organisation. In general, emotional systems in humans influence many
cognitive processes including decision making, focus and attention, goal
generation and categorization, all of which are important for design of
human-centred intelligent systems.

In this context, ICTs which form an integral part of organisations can be
used as effective tools for social innovation. It is envisaged that
emotionally
intelligent ICTs would play a pivotal role in design of sustainable
organisations in the 21st century by improving the quality of life at work
(e.g., through design of emotionally cohesive and culturally fit teams)
and at home, by provision of emotionally intelligent health care and health
promotion systems (especially for the elderly) to help control spiraling
health care costs, and by facilitating travel and e-tourism through
emotionally intelligent e-tourism systems.

The postgraduate students will be expected to work on the following research
projects

1. Human-centred intelligent system for constructing emotionally cohesive
and culturally fit teams.
2. Emotionally intelligent persuasive dialog system for health promotion.

3. Emotionally intelligent health care (nurse) robot for pre and
post-operative care.
4. Emotionally Intelligent e-tourism system for holiday destination
planning and sight seeing.

The postgraduate students will be supervised by a research team consisting
of researchers from La Trobe university and NEC Corp., Japan. The research
team is headed by La Trobe’s Associate Prof. Rajiv Khosla. An annual stipend
of up to AUD 25,000 per annum for 2 years is available from Jan 2009 for
deserving candidates. The annual stipend includes a research internship for
6 months each year (i.e., in 2009 and 2010) at NEC’s technologically
advanced research lab in Japan.

*Eligibility Requirements:*

The prospective candidate must have completed a four-year undergraduate
degree in Information Systems, Computer Science or equivalent with an
average of 80% or above. Interested candidates can contact Associate
Prof. Rajiv Khosla (r.khosla@latrobe.edu.au ) directly with your CV,
academic transcripts, .and relevant R&D experience. The candidates must also
include a covering letter with a brief description outlining the research
project they are interested in and relevant skills for the project.

Knowledge in areas like emotional intelligence, natural language processing,
affective computing and human-centred e-tourism would be a benefit.
