Job description
The NWO project A Computational Model of Language Acquisition aims to
develop a computational model of language acquisition. The project team will
comprise a postdoc and two PhD students. The PhD student will conduct
computer simulations to investigate the emergence and development of neural
representations of speech signals. In the first year the focus will be on
representations of rhythm and intonation that a foetus is already able to
form. The following years will be devoted to research addressing the
segmentation of continuous speech signals into word-like units and the
emergence of sub-word representations. In addition to designing and
conducting the computer simulations, the PhD student is expected to have
completed a PhD thesis on the topic by the end of the contract.
Requirements:
The successful candidate has a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence,
Cognitive Psychology, Pattern Recognition, or Computer Science. She/he has
excellent writing skills and is fluent in English.
Organization
The Faculty of Arts consists of eleven departments in the area of language
and culture, history, history of arts, linguistics and business

Scholarship for Doktor to Study the Auckland Volcanic Field
PhD to Study the Auckland Volcanic Field
The School of Geography, Geology and Environmental Science at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, invites applications from outstanding students to fill three fully-funded 3-yr PhD positions to study the Auckland Volcanic Field, North Island, New Zealand. These PhD research projects form key components of a major, multi-year integrated research programme with the long-term aim of determining volcanic risk in Auckland.
The Auckland Volcanic Field is a small-scale monogenetic intra-plate basaltic system that has produced about 50 small centres in the form of tuff rings, maars, cinder cones and associated lava flows during its estimated 250 kyr lifetime. The most recent eruption was about 700 years ago, and the field is still considered potentially active.
PhD projects available:
1. Petrology of the Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF)
The volcanology, mineralogy and geochemistry of the AVF has been generally described and this project will focus on detailed studies (mineral chemistry, melt inclusions, isotopes, trace element modelling) which will lead to an understanding of how the mantle yields small scale melts and how these melts become modified during their rise to the surface. The successful applicant will have an interest in volcanic rocks, mineralogy and geochemistry; an ability to apply mathematical models will be an advantage. He or she will be expected to work closely with the PhD candidate working on the complementary project investigating physical controls of monogenetic volcanism.
Research team: Ian Smith (ie.smith@auckland.ac.nz), Colin Wilson, Steve Blake, Jan Lindsay
2. Physical controls on monogenetic basaltic volcanism
This project focuses on developing a quantitative understanding of the physical controls on monogenetic basaltic volcanism. The focus will be on the Auckland Volcanic Field, but suitable ancient analogues will also be targeted. The successful candidate will undertake field investigations to improve the current structural and tectonic model for the Auckland volcanic Field, and determine the relationship, if any, between tectonics and volcanism in this region. From a strong foundation in field observation, the candidate will formulate models for the transport of magma through the crust and test these using numerical simulations. This project provides an opportunity to produce innovative insights into how monogenetic volcanism evolves and varies in both time and space. Applicants for this PhD project should have a strong foundation in structural geology, tectonics and volcanology, and a high level of numeracy. The successful applicant will be expected to work closely with the PhD candidate working on the complementary project investigating the petrology of the Auckland Volcanic Field.
Research team: Julie Rowland (j.rowland@auckland.ac.nz), Colin Wilson, Steve Blake
3. Quaternary crypto-tephra study of sediments in Auckland maars
Auckland Volcanic Field maars contain excellent sequences of laminated lake sediments with numerous tephra layers from local and distant volcanoes, spanning the last 50,000 years. A candidate is needed to construct a tephrostratigraphic record of ash fall based on crypto-tephra (microscopic ash) layers. The purpose is to assess the past frequency and sources of ash fall in Auckland for hazard analysis. The project will involve the extraction and geochemical analysis of glass shards from sediment cores. A background in lake sediment cores; micro-geochemical analysis or tephra studies could be an advantage, but is not required.
Research Team: Phil Shane (pa.shane@auckland.ac.nz), Paul Augustinus, Graham Leonard, Jan Lindsay
Scholarship General information
Each PhD position includes a 3-year stipend of NZ $25,000 per annum (tax free), university fees and research costs (including field and analytical costs, and travel to national and international conferences). Applicants should provide a CV and include contact details of 2-3 referees and a short letter of motivation and research skills. Applications due by 30 September 2008 with an expected start date by December 08.
Applications should be emailed to Jan Lindsay: j.lindsay@auckland.ac.nz For specific information on each project contact the relevant team leader. For general information contact Jan Lindsay.

Schlumberger Foundation Scholarship for Woman
About Program Women in science and technology - Role models for the Next Generation
“The Schlumberger Foundation began developing this program three years ago because we were convinced that the lack of female role models was one of the most pervasive roadblocks preventing young women in emerging countries from pursuing a scientific career.”
Jean-Marc Perraud, Chairman of the Schlumberger Foundation
Faculty for the Future is a capacity building initiative in the education sector in emerging economies to encourage women in their pursuit of academic careers in science and technology. Drawing on our worldwide network of university relationships, this program provides funding for advanced graduate study.
The goal of the program is to support role models and facilitate gender balance at key universities in emerging economies. Grant recipients are, therefore, expected to return to their home countries at the end of their studies to continue their academic careers. As teachers, they will contribute to the ultimate vision of the program which is the attracting of more talented women into science and engineering careers.
Grants provided by the Schlumberger Foundation are in the range of USD 25,000 to 50,000 per year, and may be renewed up to two times subject to performance, self-evaluation, and recommendations from supervisors.
Eligibility criteria and submission process instructions on how to apply can be found on the Schlumberger Foundation Web site.
