we are ten members. We are interested in a variety of hot topics in
the area of distributed computing, such as distributed algorithms,
peer-to-peer computing, wireless ad hoc or sensor networks, multi-core
systems, or social and mobile networks. In our group we try to apply
and unite the approaches and techniques of algorithmic theory and
systems implementation. Some members of our group focus on algorithms
and analysis, some on systems design and building. All of us work
together to build scalable, fault-tolerant, and efficient primitives
and applications for the distributed future of computing. Please visit
the group web site for more information.
We are looking for new members with a strong algorithmic background,
and a Master's degree in e.g. Computer Science or Mathematics. A

Netherlands PhD Position 2009/2010 Surfing the information waves-Eindhoven University of Technology
The Eindhoven University of Technology has the following vacancy
PhD student on the project "Surfing the information waves: Finding, revealing, and evaluating information online" at the School of Innovation Sciences.
Job description
The Ph.D. student is expected to do research leading to a Ph.D. thesis in the project "Surfing the information waves: Finding, revealing, and evaluating information online". At the core of this project lies the question how people deal with the reliability of information on the Internet, to what extent the formal and informal mechanisms that facilitate reliable exchange of information offline have online equivalents, and to what extent new online mechanisms and tools are and can be developed to facilitate reliable information exchange.
Typical questions of interest are: How do people discern useful and reliable information from
useless and unreliable information in online settings? How can users be motivated to provide
reliable information and how can the provision of unreliable information be minimized? To
what extent do the answers to these questions depend on the kind of online setting? For the
project we anticipate doing research in several areas of application, such as medical
information sites and groups, social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Plaxo,
Xing, etc), and general economic and consumer sites, such as eBay, Amazon.
Requirements
The candidate should have a Masters degree (or equivalent) in the social sciences
(sociology, psychology, political or communication science), excellent knowledge and skills in
quantitative methods of data analysis, and familiarity with new forms of online
communication. Most of all, we are looking for someone with a natural curiosity with respect
to online interaction of any kind. Knowledge about theories pertaining to the topic in (social)
psychology or sociology would be an additional asset. The candidate should be proficient in
English (speaking and writing).
Organization
The candidate will work at the school of Innovation Sciences at the Department of
Technology Management at Eindhoven University of Technology (NL), at the Chair of
Sociology of Technology and Innovation. Research interests in and around that chair
generally include the way in which humans interact with technology and how that interaction
can be improved, both from the user-level as from the level of policy- making. Additional
information can be found at:
http://www.tue-tm.org/snijders/PhD/
Conditions of employment
We offer a (full-time) Ph.D. position for 4 years. Gross salaries are in the range of EUR 28K
gross per annum in the first year and EUR 35K during the fourth year and include attractive
benefits (e.g. technical infrastructure, child care, sports facilities). A small teaching load can
be part of the job.
Application

PhD Scholarship in Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) [Australia]
PhD Scholarship in Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia
PhD scholarship in structural health monitoring of bridges (up to $50K tax free)
As one of Australia’s leading universities, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has a solid record of success in solving problems for industry and the community, and developing new products and processes.
Applications are invited from appropriately qualified individuals for a PhD scholarship being offered in QUT’s Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering (Brisbane) to work on the following project:
Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges using Vibration Characteristics
Many bridges in Australia are old and are now subjected to heavier and faster moving loads, than originally envisaged and in addition suffer structural deterioration with age. These factors can cause localised distress, which if not attended to can cause bridge failure with adverse consequences.
To address this, the Commonwealth Government – through the Australian Research Council, supported by Queensland Main Roads Department and Brisbane City Council – recently funded a research project to develop an innovative structural health monitoring system to monitor and predict distress in our bridges.
This project will develop and use modern sensor (wired and wireless) technology and dynamic computer simulation techniques to achieve the aims.
We are looking for a Honours graduate in Civil/Structural/Mechanical/ Electrical Engineering with interests in experimental work and finite element modelling.
He/she can expect up to $40,000 pa tax free depending on qualifications and experience. This amount includes approximately $4,000 worth of tutoring. A top-up of $10,000 from CR-CIEAM is possible.
Application closing date
Applications will be considered until a suitable candidate is chosen.
