PhD Scholarship 2008/2009

Denmark. A 3-year PhD scholarship is available at Centre for Electric
Technology (CET) at Department of Electrical Engineering for
appointment as soon as possible.

CET offers outstanding career opportunities, has very strong relations
to the industry and focus on developing an intelligent electric power
system enabling high a share of renewable energy.

Description of the project
The focus of the PhD is to analyse and develop an optimal
voltage/reactive power control aimed for future power systems with
high penetration of wind power. A possible solution is to utilize the
reactive power control capabilities of active distribution networks
(sub-grids e.g. virtual power plants) and at the same time considering
the physical and operational constraints of the transmission grid. The
focus of the project is the development of a strategic approach for an
optimal grid response taking into account the capabilities of the
sub-grids with different operational modes. A novel artificial
intelligence based tool for optimal reactive power/voltage control
should be developed considering the stochasticity of distributed
energy resources.

The PhD project will qualify you to become a researcher while
developing your understanding of intelligent decision support systems
(I-DSS) for modern power systems. You will be part of a strong
research team at CET while expanding your personal network and
contributing to the world knowledge base of DSS. Continuous dialogue
with a network of multidisciplinary researchers will be supported
through CET.

CET was established in 2005 at Department of Electrical Engineering
with a strong industrial support. The centre, which is still under
development, aims at developing an electric power system increasingly
based on intelligence, automation and distributed control. Innovative
solutions is being developed to maintain a reliable and cost-effective
power system characterized by a substantial share of distributed and
environmentally friendly power production and an increased reliance on
markets. CET has strong collaboration with energy companies, utility
companies, manufactures of components and equipment. Further
information is available at http://www.elektro.dtu.dk/cet.

Required skills
Candidates should have qualifications corresponding to a master’s
degree in electrical power engineering or in informatics and computer
science. We are looking for a colleague who possesses the following
skills:

- Knowledge of the concepts of electric power systems.

PhD Studentships at the Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research, Germany

Open position for a PhD student (IMK-IFU01-08)
Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH is one of the largest natural science and engineering research institution in Europe. Our Atmospheric Environmental Research Division (IMK-IFU) of the Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research has a long tradition in atmospheric environmental research, with its main emphasis on studying the impact of anthropogenic activities on the interactions between atmosphere and biosphere, air quality, regional climate, and hydrology. Studies in these research fields are characterised by an interdisciplinary and integrated approach involving field measurements, process studies and numerical modelling. Results obtained in these research fields are used for defining reliable and efficient mitigation and adaptation strategies.

For numerical modelling tasks within the project “Verification of the turbulence parameterization and the description of the vertical structure of the marine atmospheric boundary layer in numerical simulation models for wind analysis and forecasts (VERITAS)” we offer a position for a PhD student for a three year term as soon as possible. We seek a person who is interested in numerical simulation strategies in atmospheric environmental research and who has a master (Diplom) degree preferably in meteorology, flow engineering, mathematics or physics. Experience in numerical modelling would be an advantage but is not required. The work will comprise running mesoscale numerical models and the evaluation of offshore turbulence data.

The remuneration will be in accordance to the German public service regulations (TVöD 13/2).

The position is open immediately. Please send as soon as possible (but not later than September 30, 2008) applications with the usual documents to the address below (preferably by e-mail), from where you can get also additional information.

PhD Studentship in Physics, Lancaster University, UK

Lancaster University invites applications for a fully-funded PhD position in its Department of Physics.

The successful applicant will join the largest low temperature group in the UK in one of the best physics departments in the country, graded 5*A in the last national Research Assessment Exercise. He/she will participate in topical studies of critical phenomena in and on liquid helium, including studies of quantum excitations and capillary turbulence on the surfaces of both liquid 4He and liquid 3He in the ultra-low-temperature limit. The work has wide interdisciplinary implications, including e.g. to space science and the mysterious creation mechanism of the giant rogue waves that occasionally appear on the ocean and endanger shipping.

The project involves collaborative research with ISIS at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. It is based on the unique combination of neutron reflection, ultralow temperature sample environment, and the deeply quantum nature of the helium isotopes. The PhD student will be based in Lancaster, but will participate in and help to develop the experiments at ISIS. Thus he/she will conduct low and ultra-low temperature experiments, work with quantum fluids and neutron facilities, gain wide experience in cryogenic engineering, learn the diverse experimental and theoretical methods required by the professional physicist, and be a part of a multidisciplinary research team. There will be opportunities to visit our collaborators at the ISSP in Chernogolovka, near Moscow, and for participation in international conferences.

This studentship, for up to four years, will be available from 1 October 2008 or as soon as possible thereafter. It provides a stipend at the standard EPSRC rate of GBP 12,600 per annum. Full funding is available for UK or EU nationals. Applicants should have a first degree in physics at the 2(i) level or above, or equivalent qualification in physical science.

For further information, contact:

Professor Peter McClintock (p.v.e.mcclintock[ at ]lancaster.ac.uk) or
Dr Andrei Ganshyn (a.ganshyn[ at ]lancaster.ac.uk)

The INVEST Drug Abuse Research Fellowship combines postdoctoral research
training in the United States with professional development activities and
grant-writing guidance to form a unique program for drug abuse scientists.

Fellows may conduct their research in any aspect of the biomedical or
behavioral science of drug abuse and addiction. Previous Fellows have
conducted research in all aspects of drug abuse and addiction, from social
science to basic science, including epidemiology, prevention, treatment, and
preclinical and clinical sciences. Fellows and their mentors are encouraged
to develop jointly and seek funding for a collaborative research project to
be conducted in the Fellow’s home country. Fellows and their U.S. mentors
are part of a network of international scientists who exchange information
and collaborate on drug abuse research nationally, regionally, and globally.

What Does the Fellowship Include?

The 12-month fellowship provides –
Rigorous postdoctoral research training with a NIDA grantee at a U.S.
institution.
Professional development activities that help you establish personal
relationships with NIDA grantees and NIDA officials who are willing to
continue working with you after you return home.
A stipend of $36,000US for living and personal expenses, round-trip travel,
and a $4,000US allowance to cover the cost of health insurance and
professional development activities.

States.

application is submitted.
Eligibility for the J-1 visa to enter the United States.
