This 'Marie-Curie Initial Training Network' (funded by the EU) involves 15 groups at European Research Universities, Research Centers and Industrial Partners in 6 countries.

Ph.D. students will participate in an exciting research programme and will receive a strongly interdisciplinary training in all scientific areas involved as well as in additional skills (planned training workshops). The program also includes extended stays in several partner laboratories (about 4 months in 2-3 different locations). Ph.D. degrees will be awarded by the universities of the partner groups. Each position is funded for up to 3 years.

Applicants with an excellent degree (Master of Science, Diploma, earned since September 2005) in Biology, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering or Mathematics and the strong wish to actively contribute to an interdisciplinary research activity are invited to apply.

32 PhD Studentships, University of the West of England, UK

Research+Opportunity
http://rbi.uwe.ac.uk/internet/research/ro.asp

This is an exciting time to be at the University of the West of England. An excellent performance in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise reinforced UWE's position as one of the leading and fastest growing post-92 universities for research, and this growth is set to continue. In a move designed to create a truly distinctive 21st century university, we are doubling the size of the main Frenchay campus!

We now plan to build on this success and to take the University into the next stage of its research development by offering up to 32 new fully-funded PhD studentships in a range of subjects that have been identified as areas of world-class and internationally excellent research.

PhD at K.U.Leuven

The research group Management Informatics of the Faculty of Business and Economics of the K.U.Leuven ( Belgium ) has two vacancies for a full-time researcher. The researcher should have an academic degree in one of the following disciplines: Applied Economic Sciences, Computer Science, Mathematics and/or Statistics. Building upon earlier research, the researcher will be working in the fields of intelligent systems, data mining, and management informatics. It is expected that the researcher starts a Phd. This will typically include a thorough literature study, collaboration with on-going research, and the development and validation of new research methodologies. Occasionally, the researcher will also be involved in educational support activities, such as: supervision of exams; supervision of master dissertations, and student tutoring. The K.U.Leuven pursues a policy of equal opportunity and diversity.
