Tasks

The positions have become available through a grant from the Ministry
of Economic Affairs through the Innovation-directed Research Programme
Integrated Product Creation and Realization, for the project
"Resolving the Paradox of User-Centred Design through Flexible
Prototyping". The project involves collaboration with the University
of Twente and several companies. The aim of the project is to develop
a suite of tools for the creation of prototypes and virtual contexts
that will be used by designers in companies to facilitate the dialogue
with users in a collaborative design process. The claim is that the
tools will enable designers in industry to conduct a more effective
and efficient design process. The project will start from existing
versions of tools for creating prototypes and contexts.

The first phase of the project consists of collecting requirements for
prototyping tools from designers in industry and an analysis of tools
and methods that are currently in use. Next, subproject A will focus
on developing one of the tools on the basis of the obtained
requirements (see http://www.vip.id.tue.nl/software.html for an
impression of the tool). Subproject B will focus on defining protocols
for the use of the tools in industry and the evaluation of the tools
vis-a-vis the requirements and the claims. (A third subproject will
take place at Twente University and will focus on a Virtual Reality
tool for creating contexts in which prototypes can be explored). Good
collaboration between the three subprojects is essential to the
success of the project.
Requirements

For subproject A we are looking for a candidate with a master’s in
Computer Science with an affinity towards user-centred design. For
subproject B we are looking for a candidate with expertise in
user-centred design methodology, for instance through a master in
applied cognitive psychology, human-computer interaction or industrial
design, and affinity with technology. Both candidates should be
teamworkers and should be open towards working in collaboration with
industry.
Appointment and Salary

The appointment is for thee and a half years. As an employee of the
university you will receive a competitive salary as well as excellent
employment conditions (including excellent sport facilities and child
care). The research in this project must be concluded with writing a
PhD thesis. A salary is offered starting at EUR 2042,- per month
(gross) in the first year and increasing up to EUR 2612,- per month
(gross) in the last year. Moreover 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end
of year allowance is provided annually. Ph.D. students at TU/e are
appointed as temporary staff members. They are exempted from payment
of tuition fees. Assistance for finding accommodation can be given.
The positions are available from October 1st, 2009.

PhD Learning for Model Design Support in Multi-Agent Simulation - Swedia

PhD position: Learning for Model Design Support in Multi-Agent Simulation
Submitted by marcojanssen on Mon, 08/17/2009 - 07:05. Jobs and Appointments
********************************************************************
** MoS Modeling and Simulation Center, Orebro University: **
** PhD Opportunity **
** Learning for Model Design Support in Multi-Agent Simulation **
******************************************************************

A new 3-years PhD position is immediately available at the
MoS Modeling and Simulation Center, University of Örebro, Sweden
under the supervision of Dr. Franziska Kluegl.

The major part of the PhD studies can be dedicated to research in
the area of Learning for Model Design Support in Multi-Agent Simulation:
Developing Multi-Agent Simulation Model is a challenging task that
is often done in a suboptimal try and error procedure. Our idea is that it can be supported by learning and adaptive agents cooperating with a human modeler. There are various interesting starting points for the development and application of learning agent architectures and mechanisms from Artificial Intelligence such as reinforcement learning, classification learning or evolutionary strategies. Simulated agents shall use such techniques for discovering non-valid situations, selecting interaction partners, revising decision rules, etc. The human modeler evaluates the suggestions of the learning agents or supports them by pointing to particular problematic or interesting situations. Such an interplay between learning agents and human modeler may result in an efficient model development process and finally to a valid Multi-Agent Simulation
model. Ideas can be tested in interdiscilinary simulation projects
for example in the area of pedestrian simulation.

In addition to interest in the topic, a strong theoretical background and solid programming skills, applicants should have the equivalent of a Masters degree in an appropriate field (for example: Intelligent Systems and Robotics, Computer Science, Physics or Applied Mathematics).
It is not necessary to be familiar with the Swedish language but
proficiency in written/spoken English is mandatory.

To apply for the position, please send a motivation letter along with an updated CV (including at least two academic references) by e-mail to Dr. Franziska Kluegl (franziska.klugl@oru.se).
Applications can be sent immediately and will be considered until the position is fixed.

PhD Studentship in Computational Modelling of Polymer Nanocomposites

PhD Studentship
Computational Modelling of Polymer Nanocomposites
Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Applications are invited for a PhD position to be held at the Department of
Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering of the University of Limerick
(www.ul.ie). This studentship is for 3 years. The award includes a scholarship
at the rate of EUR 1300/month and payment of University fees.

Background:
Nanoclay particles offer a cost effective reinforcement for
thermoplastic polymers. The main challenge in exploiting these materials is
optimisation of their morphology. This can potentially be achieved in a typical
industrial forming process, through a careful optimisation of process
parameters. Advanced computational modelling of such processes can be a
useful tool in achieving that goal.

Research tasks:
The successful candidate will work on the development of
advanced computational modelling of a highly-complex nonlinear behaviour of
nanoclay-reinforced polymers subjected to mechanical loads at temperatures
around glass transition. The ultimate objective of this research is to optimise
process parameters (strain, strain rate, temperature) to enhance both
mechanical and barrier properties of polymer nanocomposites. The research
will address: (1) implementation of the 3D polymer constitutive model into FE
software ABAQUS, (2) development of computational models reflecting 3D
nanocomposite morphologies, and (3) development and implementation of a
3D multi-scale strategy to predict overall nanocomposite response.
Eligibility criteria and further information: Both EU and non-EU resident
candidates will be considered. Candidates should hold a first or upper second
class degree in engineering (or closely related discipline). They should have a
strong background in solid mechanics and FEM, previous experience in
programming (e.g. Fortran, Python), and interest in polymers.

Applications should include a personal statement (max. 800 words), CV,
student transcript and the names and email addresses of two referees. Please
direct all enquiries and applications to Dr. Lukasz Figiel by email:

Lukasz.Figiel@ul.ie

The position is available immediately. Applications will be
considered on a rolling basis until the post is filled. Continue Reading...

PhD position at INSA, Lyon, France

From: "Jean-Marie Gorce" <jean-marie.gorce@insa-lyon.fr>

Please find below a PHd position offer,

Title: Fast and accurate radio propagation models for indoor and
indoor/outdoor radio network planning and optimisation.

Supervisors: Guillaume Villemaud / Jean-Marie Gorce

Place: CITI Lab - INSA Lyon, France; and Ranplan Wireless Network Design
Ltd.- UK

http://citi.insa-lyon.fr

Description:

In the framework of the iPLAN European project the aim of this thesis is to enhance the computational efficiency and to adjust the complexity-accuracy trade-off of the MR-FDPF (Multi-Resolution Frequency Domain Partial Flows) method for indoor radio coverage prediction. This method, particularly efficient for indoor propagation, is devoted to be implemented in a radio
network planning tool. This tool needs to propose all kind of modern radio link conditions: indoor, outdoor, indoor to outdoor, outdoor to indoor, for 3G/4G, WLAN or WMAN (WiMax), from macrocells to femtocells.

Thus, the study will contain four main parts:

-computational efficiency enhancement of the MR-FDPF method;
-implementation of statistical analysis of radio channel behaviour
rather than only considering mean power level;
-integration of our indoor propagation tool into a wide areas
simulation tool with other propagation methods such as ray-tracing in
collaboration with other partners;
-measurement campaigns and model calibration.

The PhD candidate will work the first year in the CITI Lab of INSA Lyon in order to propose all possible enhancements on the MR-FDPF method and will be associated to the SWING INRIA project team (at INSA Lyon, France). Then he will spend two years seconded in Ranplan Wireless Network Design Ltd, partnet of the iPLAN project (located in Luton, UK). Ranplan's R&D department is expected to launch an automatic planning tool, and the results of this work will contribute to this innovating tool.
