8 PhD Scholarships in Nanotechnology, Krakow, Poland

Krakow Interdisciplinary PhD-Project in Nanoscience and Advanced Nanostructures
http://www.mpd.agh.edu.pl

Faculty of Physics & Applied Computer Science (AGH) and Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry of Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) (both of Krakow) in cooperation with research institutes of 10 European countries run a common PhD programme in Nanoscience.

The project is financed by European Union Innovative Economy Programme with Foundation for Polish Science. It has been selected for support as one of three projects in the first call for the International PhD Studies Programme (results of the competition in Polish).

8 PhD positions are opened in 2008 and 4 in 2009. The project duration is nearly 5 years, of which 6 to 24 months the students will spend abroad, mostly in Western European institutes that enter the consortium. A stipend for a month spent in Krakow is 3000 PLN and 4500 PLN abroad (tax free). This currently corresponds to 930 and 1400 EUR, respectively.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Recruitment
Positions are currently opened in the following topics:
1) Structure and properties of networks of nanoscopic magnetic wires
2) Electronic structure of artificial atoms and molecules: spin-orbit coupling effects
3) Computer simulations of quantum transport in semiconductor nanodevices
4) Surfactants, polyelectrolytes and nanoparticles as building blocks for surface nanostructures
5) Design and computer simulations of the nanodevices to applications in quantum computing
6) Nanostructures and stability of thin liquid layers
7) Current induced magnetization switching (CIMS) and noise characterization of MgO based magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs)
8) Dynamics of nanostructural organization and activity of hotosynthetic systems in natural and model membranes.

Recruitment procedure.
Applications should contain the documents requested in the recruitment procedure.
Do not forget to indicate the topic you apply for.
The application deadline is 22.09.2008.
Applications & questions should be sent to mpd@agh.edu.pl .
For more info about the specific topic - please contact the
supervisor.
Recruitment in 2009.
In September 2009 four more PhD positions will be opened:
9) Hybrid organic-inorganic layered materials - precursors of semiconducting nanostructures.
10) Surface and interface properties of metal-oxide magnetic nanostructures
11) Nanostructures and stability of thin liquid layers.
12) Physical properties of multilayer thin films of Mg-Ti-V/Ni and their hydrides

The way to AMINEF in Gedung Balai Pustaka

American Indonesian Exchange Foundation
Balai Pustaka Building, 6th. Floor
Jl. Gunung Sahari Raya No. 4
Jakarta 10720, Indonesia

1. The buses which goes to Senen Bus Station all of them pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. Especially which route is through Pasar Baru .

2. Bus Transjakarta, from Blok M you have to change the bus 2-3 times.
Way 1 : from Blok M change the bus in Dukuh Atas bus stop to the bus towards Pulogadung, then take a bus in Pramuka bus stop towards Ancol, this bus pass through Gedung Balai Pustaka. The closest bus stop (Budi Utomo) is about 800 meters from Gedung Balai .
Way 2 : From Blok M take the bus in the Harmoni Bus Stop, the bus towards Pulogadung, get down in Senen Bus Stop and walk about 800 meters, or from this bus stop take the bus towards Ancol and get down as mentioned in way 1. About the distance, this two bus stops is about the same. (It is better if you take ojek or bajaj from this bus stop to Gedung Balai Pustaka)

3. If you take taxi with old tariff (TL=Tarif Lama) from blok M with no traffic jam is about Rp. 30.000,00.

4. From Blok M use bus Patas AC 76. Gedung Balai Pustaka is in the right side, after you pass through Depag, and say to conductor "Balai Pustaka"

5. Use a busway from Blok M towards Kota, get down in Sawah Besar bus stop. From here take a Mikrolet M12 towards Senen. After cross road Wahidin and before senen get down and cross the street.
