Netherlands; PhD at the Department of Philosophy of the University of Twente

For the project “Cultural, Political and Religious Ideologies
and the Appraisal of New Media”

Women are strongly encouraged to apply

The PhD position is part of a prestigious and exciting international research project in
philosophy named “Evaluating the Cultural Quality of New Media”. This five-year project,
which includes six researchers and involves collaboration with leading international
scholars and research centres, has as its aim to develop a framework for better normative
analyses of new media and new media culture, especially in relation to their contribution to
the quality of life (”the good life”) and the quality of society. Project leader is Prof. Dr.
Philip Brey. The project is part of a new international Centre of Excellence in Ethics and
Technology (http://www.ethicsandtechnology.eu) of the departments of philosophy of
Twente University, Delft University of Technology and Eindhoven University of Technology.

Objectives
The aim of the PhD project is to perform a study of interpretations and evaluations of new
media and their consequences that are made by representatives of major ideologies or
worldviews, with the aim of assessing how they relate to conceptions of the good life and
the good society held by these ideologies. It will involve a study of liberal,
communitarian, conservative, religious and post materialist evaluations of new media, and
the assessment of what the benefits and harms of new media cultures are and how these
can be evaluated within these ideologies. It will also provide normative critiques of
current ideological stances regarding new media.

Profile
A Master’s degree or equivalent degree in philosophy, preferably with a background in
ethics and/or social or political philosophy.

Consideration will also be given to candidates with a multidisciplinary Master’s degree on
a topic relevant to the project and some background in philosophy, and to exceptional
(international) candidates with only a bachelor’s degree in philosophy.

Demonstrable interest in philosophical issues relating to information technology and new
media (but previous work in this area not required). Good analytical skills. Good
communication skills in English, in writing as well as orally. Good team spirit. Creativity,
open-mindedness, and an ability to develop new ideas.

Offer
A four-year full-time Ph.D. position, preferably starting April 1, 2008. The gross salary is
EUR2.000,- in the first year going up to EUR2.558,- in the fourth year (EUR27.456,- and
EUR35.699,- per annum, respectively, including vacation pay and end-of-year bonus).
The position also comes with a personal budget of EUR8.000,- for travel and conference
attendance.

Information and application
A description of the PhD project, the overall project of which it is a part and a FAQ can be
retrieved from http://www.ceptes.nl/vici. Applicants are advised to read these texts before
applying. For questions not answered on the website please contact the project leader,
Prof. dr. Philip Brey (e-mail: p.a.e.brey@utwente.nl).

Your application should contain the following documents: a letter of application which
explains your interest in the position and your qualifications for it, as well as some
suggestions on how you would want to approach the project you apply for; a curriculum
vitae which includes the name and e-mail address/telephone number of one of your
professors, preferably the supervisor of your master’s thesis; a copy of your thesis; copies
of publications, if any; an academic transcript that contains a list of subjects taken and
grades received (this may be an unofficial version or scanned copy; we can request the

Your application can be sent before March 7, 2008 by e-mail (preferred) or by normal post
to dr. ir. J.F.C. Verberne (e-mail: pz-gw@gw.utwente.nl), managing director of the Faculty

PhD Studentships in Applied Microeconomics, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

This project analyses the impact of recent policy changes on various aspects relating to the agri-food sectors in Ireland and other EU countries focussing in particular on Denmark and the Netherlands. Using the Irish National Farm Survey a micro approach is taken that allows specific research questions relating to: 1) productivity and competitiveness; 2) the changing structure of production systems in terms of farm numbers, the role of economies of scale, specialisation and system switching; and 3) the wider rural community to be addressed.

The availability of a comparable survey for Denmark and the Netherlands presents a unique opportunity for the Irish experience to be compared to that of similar regions of Europe facing the same set of constraints but with significantly different sectors in terms of structure, organisation and the role of government supports This study will provide valuable lessons for policy by deepening our understanding of the important issues facing the agri-food sector in Ireland at the micro level and observing how the Irish experience compares to that of similar European regions. The project will also explore alternative uses for land post-decupling focussing in particular on opportunities in relation to organic farming and alternative energy sources drawing on the successes of the Danish experience.

The PhD student will be based at the Department of Economics, Trinity College Dublin. The student will spend some time at the University of Kent in the UK and at the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands working with leading economists on farm survey data and project related modelling issues.

Requirements
* MSc degree or equivalent in Economics
* An interest in applied microeconomics in particular agricultural or environmental economics
* Excellent quantitative skills (i.e. econometric modelling).

Conditions of employment
Stipend: €16,000 p.a. plus tuition fees
Duration of the contract: 3 years beginning April 1st, 2008

IRCSET Scholarship for 165 Master and Doctorate

IRCSET’s Embark Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme is designed for either Masters or Doctorate level researchers in the sciences, engineering or technology.
The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering & Technology invites applications for funding from intending postgraduate researchers under the Embark Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme.
The programme will fund up to 165 Masters or Doctorate level researchers in the sciences, engineering and technology.
The scheme is open to candidates worldwide with a number of scholarships also being available to exceptional candidates from non EU member states.
A number of additional scholarships will be jointly funded by industry as part of IRCSET Enterprise Partnership Scheme (see below for details). This scheme fosters mutually beneficial collaboration between the academic and commercial research sectors.
Enterprise Partnership Scheme

Within this call, a number of Enterprise Partnership Scheme Awards are also being offered in conjunction with participating industry partners. The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology gratefully acknowledges the valuable participation of these organisations.

Applicants can indicate on their application if in addition to consideration for an Embark Initiative award they also wish to be considered for an Enterprise Partnership Scheme scholarship.

Through the Enterprise Partnership Scheme scholars are co-funded by both IRCSET and an Enterprise Partner. Industry’s participation and co-funding role has enabled IRCSET to support many more young researchers in Irish research bodies.

The researcher receives the same financial support as a postgraduate scholar under the normal Embark Initiative Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme. However, they also benefit from expert industry supervision and gain experience of research in an industrial environment.
Under the Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme, funding of €24,003 is provided for each of three years for Doctorate level research (total funding of €72,009) and one year (€24,003) for Masters level research.

Of the €24,003 maximum per annum available to Masters and Doctorate students, €16,002 goes directly to the student with the remainder available to fund other forms of support such as fees, appropriate travel and other expenses
PLEASE READ ALL REQUIREMENTS BELOW
All applications must be made through the electronic Online Grants Applications System which is available below. The attention of applicants is drawn particularly to the Terms and Conditions & Assessment Procedures which appear below.

PhD Studentship in Distributed Computing - University of Bristol UK

Social insect colonies face similar decision problems to those inherent in large-scale information processing systems such as the internet, grid computing and utility computing centres. These systems are too complex for classical control techniques to be applicable, as global information on the state of the system is impossible to obtain. However, we can draw inspiration from the algorithms employed by social insect colonies. These algorithms work robustly using simple rules of thumb, without centralised control, and achieve or approximate optimality. Hence these algorithms will prove ideal for decentralised optimal control problems such as those encountered in distributed computing.

Recently, a new social-insect behaviour has been examined experimentally, collective nest-site selection during colony emigration. This is a collective decision-making mechanism, that converges on a unique solution while exhibiting a tuneable compromise between the speed and the accuracy of decision-making. The successful applicant will investigate the application of this behaviour to distributed control problems in utility computing centres, with input from HP Labs. It is expected that the student’s research will also lead to developments in algorithm design and statistical decision theory.

The successful candidate will have a high quality first degree(s) in a numerate discipline such as mathematics, physics or computer science. The studentship will be based in the Machine Learning and Biological Computation Group, in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bristol. For more information on the Department and the Group visit www.cs.bris.ac.uk and www.cs.bris.ac.uk/Research/MachineLearning.

The studentship is expected to commence in early October 2008, but an immediate start may be possible by negotiation. The studentship will pay tuition fees and a stipend of 12,600 GBP per annum for 3 years. UK citizens and EU-citizens resident in the UK for at least 3 years previously are eligible to apply. Exceptional overseas applicants may also be considered.

Apply by email to Dr James Marshall, enclosing PDF copies of your CV and a covering letter outlining your interest in the project. It is anticipated that interviews with shortlisted candidates will be held within 2 weeks of the application deadline.

For informal discussions contact Dr James Marshall (www.cs.bris.ac.uk/~marshall)

The closing date for applications is 14th March 2008.
