Job description
Short pitch rail corrugation is a type of vertical periodic irregularity on top of railway rails with a wavelength of 2-8 cm. It is a result of the dynamic interaction between the wheels and rails and is one of the major types of damage in most rail systems worldwide. It causes large dynamic contact forces, resulting not only in damages to rolling stock, wheel and rail, but also in rapid deterioration of track quality and noise nuisance, leading to high maintenance and renewal costs and reduced track availability. With the continuous increase in rail transport in the foreseeable future, the problem will be even more pronounced, particularly for networks which are approaching or have reached their capacity limit.
By means of numerical analyses, field monitoring and lab tests, this research aims at a fundamental understanding of the initiation and growth mechanisms of short pitch corrugation, basically the wavelength fixing mechanism and the damage mechanism by wear and plastic deformation. This should finally lead to improved track design to avoid corrugations, possible methods for detection of corrugation root causes in existing track, and action criteria for optimal maintenance. For this research, the Road and Railway Engineering Section at TU Delft is looking for a motivated PhD student.
Requirements
Applicants should have an MSc or the equivalent in Mechanical, Aerospace or Civil Engineering, Applied Mathematics or Physics, with knowledge of Dynamics and Vibration and the Finite Element Method. Candidates should have demonstrable interest and skills in research as well as good communication skills. Proficiency in English, both spoken and written, is a prerequisite.

PhD student DNA Transport in Neisseria Gonorrhoeae, University of Groningen
Project description.
The rapid spread of antibiotic
resistance among bacteria is one of the major problems of the coming
century. This urges for an understanding of the mechanisms by which
antibiotic resistance is transmitted.
Conjugal DNA transport via type
IV secretion systems is one of the main causes responsible for this
spread, but little is known about the mechanism that governs conjugal
DNA transport. In Gram-negative bacteria, the DNA has to cross four
membranes, which makes it difficult to study DNA translocation by in vitro methods.
However, such studies will be
instrumental to reveal mechanistic features of this transport process.
Recently, an F factor conjugation-like DNA secretion system has been
described in pathogenic Neisseria gonorrhoea. Remarkably, this system
exports the DNA directly into the medium without the need for
cell-to-cell contact. Since here only two membranes have to be crossed,
this system is ideal to set up an in vitro DNA translocation system.
The aim is to reconstitute the DNA transport reaction both with inner
membrane vesicles and proteoliposomes reconstituted with purified
components. For this purpose, components of the DNA translocase will be
identified and overexpressed. Interactions between subunits of the DNA
translocase, located in the cytoplasm, inner membrane, periplasm and
outer membrane will be analyzed using immunoprecipitation,
co-purification, blue native electrophoresis, surface plasmon resonance
and further molecular biological, biochemical and biophysical
techniques.
Offered position fellowship for a period of four years, which should lead to a PhD in Natural Sciences.
Requirements
Required education/skills: University Graduate
For this project, I seek a highly motivated and skilled researcher with a masters degree in microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology or similar.
Organization
The research will be conducted in the research group of Dr. Van der Does, which is embedded in the Department of Molecular Microbiology headed by Prof. A.J.M. Driessen. The department participates in the Groningen Biomolecular Sciences and
Biotechnology Institute (GBB) and the Material Sciences Center (MSCplus), a center of excellence. Further research is focused on the molecular mechanisms of bacterial protein export, membrane protein integration and solute transport, specifically multidrug and antibiotic transporters in bacteria, archaea and lower eukaryotes.
The emphasis is on the energetics and kinetics of the translocation processes, the
structural analysis of the proteins, and the role of transport processes in the physiology of micro-organisms. The laboratory is very well equipped, including molecular biology and protein purification (AKTA and FPLC) and analysis equipment e.g., large scale fermentation and centrifugation facilities, continuous cell lysis, (time-resolved) spectrofluorimeters, a Lumi-Imager, ultracentrifuges, and a fully equipped isotope laboratory.
Via GBB, there is direct access to various mass spectrometry techniques (Maldi-Tof, nanoLC-MS, ESI MS), DNA array and crystallography facilities, differential scanning and isothermal titration calorimetry, circular dichroism, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and analytical ultracentrifugation. The group comprises a full, an associate and an assistant professor, 5 post-docs, 15 PhD students, and 5 technicians, and has been evaluated excellent by the last two VSNU quality assessment committees on all criteria. The group participates in three major Dutch technology innovation research networks, i.e., on proteomics, nanotechnology and on industrial micro-organisms.
During the years, the group has participated in many
EC programes, and more recently participates in an EC Human Mobility training network on molecular machines which involves leading groups in the
study of protein secretion and type II-IV secretion systems, and the EC
framework 6 program on the structural genomics of membrane proteins.
Intense links exist with industry, i.e., DSM (Anti-infectives, Delft ),
Biomade ( Groningen ), and Arpida Ltd ( Muenchenstein, Switserland).
Conditions of employment
The PhD student works as on a fellowship of 1390 Euro’s a month. Income

Software Engineering Research Project (Probabilistic Verification and Model-Based Quality Evaluation), Swinburne University of Technology, Australia
Model Based Development (MBD) has established itself as the key approach to software engineering of increasingly complex systems in automotive and aerospace domains. It has proved successful at managing complexity associated with functionality. A new approach is to use model-based techniques also for quality evaluation and predictions. Since most of quality attributes such as performance, reliability, availability, safety, and security have a probabilistic nature, probabilistic verification techniques are the best solution to perform model-based quality evaluation.
The research project shall explore the possibilities of probabilistic modelling and verification techniques to reason about quality attributes early in the software development lifecycle. To get a detailed introduction into this research project please have a look at the following background literature:
* Controller dependability analysis by probabilistic model checking

Master and PhD Positions in Geoinformatics and Climate Change, University College Cork, Ireland
The Geography Department and Coastal and Marine Resources Centre of University College Cork, Ireland, have two funded research studentships available to commence in October 2008. The studentships cover university fees at the EU level, and an annual stipend. The PhD project aims to address issues of the use of Geoinformatics technologies for predicting the effects of climate change with respect to those coastal areas that are most at risk.
The potential benefits of integrating remotely sensed data derived from satellite, airborne and field sources, with other spatial information will be considered. Automated image processing routines will be developed in order to better understand the coastal system at present. Through scenario testing of potential climatically induced terrestrial, marine and meteorological changes, the response of different coastal habitats will be modelled to provide greater insight into the present and future functioning of marsh, dune, lagoon and estuarine environments along the Cork coastline. The use of geovisualisation for communication of results to local interest groups will also be explored.
The MSc project will explore the utility of high spatial resolution, multispectral optical and SAR satellite data to map the habitat distribution and vertical expansion/contraction and stability of raised bogs. Methods to characterise habitat distribution include the investigation and classification of the combined multispectral optical and SAR data. Advanced supervised classification techniques will be explored using both hard and soft/fuzzy classifiers in attempting to classify peatland species and habitats. Interferometric techniques, using a time series of C-band and L-band SAR images, will be used to determine the feasibility of identifying and quantifying centimetre level vertical displacements within the bog.
Applicants should have a minimum of a 2:1 Honours degree or equivalent in an Earth, Environmental or Engineering Science discipline. Experience in remote sensing, image processing, quantitative environmental science and in undertaking fieldwork would be an advantage. For further information please contact:

PhD Studentships in the Energy Technology Research Group, University of Southampton, UK
Two PhD studentships are now available in the Energy Technology Research Group, School of Engineering Sciences (SES), which will fully cover University tuition fees (at EU/UK level**) and provide a tax-free bursary of GBP 12,900 per year, rising annually in line with the UK Government (EPSRC) recommended rate, for a 4-year duration.
EU/UK fees GBP 3300 p.a., overseas fee GBP 13,480 p.a. (all figures subject to increase). Additional funding for fees may be available to exceptional overseas applicants.
Applications are invited for two High End Computing (HEC) Studentships. The HEC Studentships will provide support for 4 years postgraduate training leading to a Doctorate in the field of computational multiphase flow, from the University of Southampton, plus an MSc in Computational Science and Engineering, from the University of Warwick.
Multiphase flow is ubiquitous in nature and in industrial processes. The proposed research is concerned specifically with a two-phase system in which a gas phase is laden with liquid droplets interacting with the continuum and, indirectly, with each other through this continuum. The ability to predict such a phenomenon is of great importance for biomedical, chemical, energy and process industries. The phenomenon involves time and length scales ranging from nanoscales (interfacial physics) to macroscales (interactions of particle momentum and scalar wakes), which cannot be fully described by the continuum formulation based on the Navier-Stokes equations.
The proposed research is to develop both macroscopic and microscopic methods to simulate fully resolved multiphase flow. One student will lead the development of the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) and the other will focus on the Immersed Boundary Method (IBM). The project will extend the capabilities of these methods and explore their relative strengths in the mesoscale range.
A distinctive feature of these studentships is that students will have the opportunity to study for a taught MSc in Computational Science and Engineering at the University of Warwick. This will enable them to make full use of the most advanced parallel computing techniques to solve some of the most complex problems in multiphase flow. Computing resources are available at the national HEC platform HECToR as well as on local massively parallel PC clusters (> 1000 processors).
SES is a top 5* rated research school with an international reputation. The successful candidate will work with a group of highly motivated, first class research students in the areas of multiphase flow, turbulent flow and combustion in combination with high performance computing.
The School is a diverse community which is committed to creating an inclusive working and learning environment in which all individuals are equally treated and valued, and can achieve their potential. The School considers all studentship applications in relation to academic criteria and regardless of the individual’s race, gender, or belief.
Entry requirements: The studentships are available to candidates with the equivalent of a first class or upper second class degree in relevant disciplines, e.g. engineering, maths, physics and computational sciences. The studentships are at the standard EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) rate, commencing on 1 October 2008.
Application

ESRC Funded PhD Studentship in The Governance of Clean Development, the University of East Anglia, UK
ESRC Funded PhD Studentship in The Governance of Clean Development in the School of Development Studies at the University of East Anglia
Meeting the development needs of the majority of the world’s people in a carbon-constrained world presents a global challenge of staggering proportions. There is currently little research, however, about the role of institutions and policy processes in reconciling the growing levels of demand for energy investment in rapidly industrialising countries with the goal of clean development aimed at facilitating a transition to a lower carbon economy.
An ESRC Climate Change Leadership Fellowship on The Governance of Clean Development will address this issue. The programme of work will explore the conditions in which the governance context nationally and internationally helps to determine (i) the nature, scale and direction of investment flows in the clean development sector (within and beyond the United Nations Clean Development Mechanism) and (ii) the extent to which those flows are able to simultaneously satisfy social as well as environmental ends.
As part of this programme, applications are invited for a fully funded 3 year PhD studentship based in the School of Development Studies at UEA to be supervised by Prof. Peter Newell to begin in October 2008 (or as soon thereafter as possible). The subject of the research will be a comparative study of the governance of clean development in India and South Africa and will involve field work in both those countries.
The studentship will allow significant involvement in the research and communication work associated with the fellowship at one of the UK’s leading centres for research on climate change development. The studentship includes PhD student fees, field work costs and project related travel, a stipend plus a Research Training Support Grant. To see the terms and conditions of ESRC studentships see full details link.
Applications are welcome from candidates with a minimum 2.1 undergraduate degree (or equivalent) and a relevant Masters degree or relevant experience. Please note that due to funding restrictions only EU and UK citizens are eligible. Applications should include a CV, a covering letter outlining relevant experience and interest in this area of work and a completed application form which can be downloaded from here.
They should be submitted to Daniel Lightening, SSF Admissions, University of East Anglia Norwich, NR4 7TJ Tel +44 (0) 1603 592805, E-mail:d.lightening[ at ]uea.ac.uk quoting ESRC/Newell. The deadline for applications is August 15th 2008. A telephone interview will be held in late August at a date to be confirmed.

The applicant is responsible for mailing his/her application to Cambridge (including all original transcripts in sealed envelopes, a passport-size photo, and three recommendations in appropriately marked, signed, sealed envelopes). In all cases, the materials need to be received at Cambridge by October 15. The Office of Scholarships for International Study would appreciate a copy of all materials (including letters) prior to submission. Letters should be written to the attention of the “Board of Graduate Studies”. If you wish to include the address, it is:
The Secretary
Board of Graduate Studies
4 Mill Lane
Cambridge CB2 1RZ
United Kingdom
For those pursuing undergraduate admission, you first must complete a Cambridge application and gain admission to a particular college. Once you are admitted to a college as an undergraduate, the college will send you a supplemental application form for the Gates scholarship. The applicant is responsible for completing the supplemental application to Cambridge and ensuring that these materials are received by the deadline. The Office of Scholarships for International Study would appreciate a copy of all materials prior to submission.
The Final Stages:
Shortlisted candidates will be called for a national interview held in Annapolis in January or February 2009. The Office of Scholarships for International Study will coordinate mock interviews for those students called to an interview. The final selection is generally publicly announced within a week of the Gates Cambridge interview.
General Application Tips:
Review general tips and view sample application materials
The Gates reviewers will review your entire Cambridge application, so do not repeat yourself in the materials. Write “N/A” throughout the application for items that are not applicable. The GRE is rarely required for admission to Cambridge, but some courses, such as religious studies and economics may require it — look at your individual Department.
International students who have a Green Card should apply through the U.S. If a student is in the U.S. only for education, then they should apply through their home country. In that case, the international student must also apply for an ORS award.
Personal Statement: The scholarship is not for ’rounding out’ education. Solid applications demonstrate that a student plans to contribute to, and not just receive from, Cambridge. A Gates Scholar will change the world by good research, analysis, and proposing solutions. The Foundation desires students who feel the need and have the abilities to contribute creative solutions to problems in all areas — not just academics. Student must be extremely self-motivated, be intellectually curious, and know they have much to learn. An applicant should show that Cambridge is the best place to pursue their studies. The Gates should be more of an incentive to achieve than a reward for past accomplishments.
Recommendation Letters: The personal reference should know something about the candidate’s service or leadership activities, but not be solely a family friend in most cases. However, it is not necessary that this letter be academic.

Politics and International Studies
Beasiswa Inggris: PAIS East Asia Postgrad Research Fellowship - University of Warwick
The Department of Politics and International Studies (PAIS) invites applications for one East Asia Postgraduate Research Fellowship to fund three years of doctoral research at the University of Warwick.
This doctoral research will form part of PAIS’s programme to consolidate the study of East Asia in the department and across the University. The successful candidate will be supervised by Professor Chris Hughes in PAIS. In addition to pursuing their own doctoral research, the holder of the Fellowship will be expected under Professor Hughes’s direction to form part of a research team and provide assistance in a range of activities to promote research on East Asia. PAIS has one of the largest concentrations in the UK of research expertise in the contemporary international and domestic East Asian politics.
The successful candidates should have an interest in the international and domestic politics of East Asia, broadly in one or more of the disciplines of Political Science, International Relations, International Political Economy, Security Studies, East Asian Studies, and Japanese Studies. Professor Hughes would particularly welcome applications in his research specialism of Japanese foreign and security policy, but also seeks applications in areas such as Japan-China relations, East Asian regional security more generally, and East Asian regionalism and political economy.
The Fellowship will be highly competitive. Successful candidates should have obtained at least an upper second class honours degree (or equivalent) from a recognised institution of higher education before 31 July 2008. The possession of a MA in a relevant discipline would also be an advantage, as would some pre-existing knowledge of East Asia. Applicants should have the requisite standard of English, and some ability in Japanese or another East Asian language would be useful. Home/EU and Overseas students are eligible for the Fellowship.
The scholarship includes for three years:
The payment of academic fees
A maintenance grant in line with the UK Research Council standard stipend (£12,940 for full-time award holders in 2008/2009)
Successful candidates may be asked in consultation with Professor Hughes to undertake up to 110 hours of assistance in a year. This assistance may take the form of research and/or teaching and/or administrative duties.
Interested candidates are encouraged in the first instance to contact directly Professor Hughes (c.w.hughes@warwick.ac.uk) for informal discussions about their suitability and research plans. Formal applications should be made by sending a completed application form, two references, and academic transcript to Professor Hughes. Candidates should also make the normal formal application through the University of Warwick’s Graduate School (http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/apply).
The deadline for applications is 4 August 2008.
Entry is for the academic year 2008/09, ideally in October 2008, but slightly later entry is negotiable. For more information about PAIS and postgraduate research, please consult: http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/politics.

PhD in Math & Computer Science, Univ. Eindhoven, The Netherland
Website link
The Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) has the following vacancy
PhD Student Reaction-diffusion systems multiple spatial scales(V
32.023) at CASA Department of Mathematics and Computer science
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science provides
undergraduate and MSc programs in Mathematics and in Computer Science.
The department has research collaborations with other departments at
the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven as well as with a large number
of other universities and companies, both at home and abroad. The
Department has approximately 350 employees and more than 700 students.
The Centre for Analysis, Scientific computing and Applications (CASA)
combines all activities related to analysis at the Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science of Eindhoven University of Technology
(TU/e). Its major research objective is to develop new and improve
existing mathematical (both analytical and numerical) methods for a
wide range of applications in science and engineering.
A particular interest is paid to the accurate modeling, analysis and
simulation of reactive flows in porous media, including the upscaling
from the pore scale to the macroscopic, core scale. This work is done
in both national and international research groups. Detailed
information can be found at: http://www.win.tue.nl/casa/
Tasks
Project description:
At this PhD position you will work on the analysis, modeling and
simulation of “Reaction-diffusion systems on multiple spatial scales”.
Typical examples of such problems are the distributed-microstructure
models obtained by periodic homogenization from an exact micro-model.
An important feature of this class of problems is that the homogenized
system recognizes the distributed-concentration exchange across the
internal fixed and/or moving boundaries. The
“distributed-microstructure” methodology will be applied to a
dissolution/precipitation/flow scenario arising in the transport of
salts in unsaturated porous media.
As a PhD Student Reaction-diffusion systems multiple spatial scales
you will forfill the following task:
perform scientific research;
present results on international conferences;
publish results in scientific journals
Requirements
We are looking for a candidate who meets the following requirements:
* a M.Sc. in Mathematics,
* strong affinity with partial-differential equations,
* good communication and writing skills in English.
Prior knowledge of homogenization and modeling of reaction-diffusion
scenarios is an advantage but not a must.
Appointment and Salary
We offer:
·A challenging job in a dynamic and ambitious university.
·A full-time employment for 4 years (starting September 2008), with an
intermediate evaluation after 1 year.
·A salary of Euro 2,000 per month (gross) in the first year,
increasing to Euro 2,558 per month (gross) in the fourth year.
Moreover 8% holiday allowance is provided annually.
·Assistance in finding accommodation can be given.
·Support with your personal development and career planning.
·Attractive secondary labour conditions (including excellent work
facilities, child care, excellent sports facilities).
