19 PhD positions in Agricultural Sciences, INRA, France

PhD positions: 19 special contracts (INRA - France)

Research training positions

Approximately 1800 PhD students are hosted in INRA's research units.

Doctoral students are a vital part of the scientific production of the
Institute. The research units which host them carry out their role of training
in and through research.

Each year, more than 500 doctoral students join INRA, all remunerated on
contracts and in most cases associated with various private and public partners.

INRA is proposing special contracts in 2010

These contracts offer doctoral students particularly attractive conditions in
terms of the duration of the contract and remuneration:

Recruitment of Associate Scientists on Contract

Associate Scientists on Contract (ASC) are recruited to carry out a thesis at
INRA on subjects combining modelling and agronomic issues.

Young Scientist Contracts

The Young Scientist Contract aims at students who wish to carry out a PhD at
INRA and begin a career in research. Its specificity lies in that it involves a
partnership between INRA and a graduate sch

Researcher Position, Environmental Microbial Systems, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

Researcher Position, Environmental Microbial Systems, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
A Researcher position (at postdoctoral or post master level) is available in Environmental Microbial Systems Group, School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. The research will focus on the development of an anaerobic bioprocess converting organic wastes / bioproducts to bioenergy and other valuable products. In parallel with designing and operating novel reactor systems, temporal dynamics of key microbial groups involved in the system will be studied. Efforts to describe correlations between microbial shifts, operating factors, and process performance, will be made employing a combination of molecular and statistical tools.

The successful applicant will be invited to contribute to several different research works in our group. Self motivated and team oriented individuals interested in environmental bioprocess engineering and microbiology/biotechnology are encouraged to apply. Applicants must have a full command of oral and written English and significant experience conducting scientific experiments. Candidates with expertise in anaerobic bioprocess engineering (i.e., set up, operation, and monitoring of anaerobic bioreactors) and/or in molecular/microbiological techniques will be given preference. Experience in interdisciplinary working environments is a plus. A PhD or Master degree in environmental engineering, microbiology or a closely related field is desirable.

The incumbent is expected to play a significant role in writing academic papers, project proposals, and technical reports. The initial appointment is for one year and will be renewable depending on funding availability and performance. Salary will be commensurate with qualification and experience. Medical benefits and one month bonus (on the basis of performance) will also be provided. Special support for attending oversea conferences is also available. University’s standard salary scale applies.

NTU is a major research intensive university in Singapore, and is highly recognized for its excellence in science and engineering. It is highly ranked in many international comparisons of higher education.

8 PhD positions in Robotics (INTRO project)

open_positions

New European robotics research network offers 10 positions starting this summer
http://introbotics.eu

The INTRO project (INTeractive RObotics Research Network) is offering 10
research positions (8 PhD student positions starting in 2010 and 2 post-doctoral
positions starting in 2011) in the interdisciplinary areas of Interactive
Robotics; Cooperative Robot Learning, Cognitive Human-Robot Interaction (HRI)
and Intelligent Interface Design.

INTRO aims to create a new generation of robotic researchers with a broad
understanding of the research and technologies needed to build intelligent
robots that function in close interaction with humans in unstructured, changing
"real word" conditions. The training has a strong multidisciplinary approach
complemented by specialized domain knowledge. Young researchers will work
closely with industries, endowing them with insight and understanding of the
industrial product life-cycle and valuable hands-on experience of top-level
industrial robot development. By blending complementary skills, INTRO will
improve the career perspectives of young researchers, in both academic and
industrial sectors. This will be achieved through a transnational network of
universities and robot companies, with senior researchers from different
disciplines (robotics, artificial intelligence, cognitive sciences, human
factors) coming from different `schools-of-thought' (computer sciences,
industrial engineering, psychology).

INTRO is funded by the European Commission as part of the FP7 program and
involves 6 partners. Each PhD student will be stationed at one of the
universities and will also undergo a secondment and visit other partners. The
post-doctoral researchers will be stationed at one of the partner companies,
with several visits to the other partners' institutions. The following positions
are offered:

Umea University, Sweden

- PhD2: Learning from Demonstration and Imitation

- PhD5: Emotional interaction

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel

- PhD1: Learning inspired by cognitive psychology

- PhD8: Intelligent interface design

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany

- PhD3: Behaviour and intention recognition for human-robot learning

- PhD4: Dynamic gesture analysis

University of the West of England, UK

- PhD6: Robot safety and interaction

- PhD7: Failure detection and recovery

An applicant for any of the positions must not be a citizen of the country in
which the associated university/company is located.

Each recruited researcher will join a training program comprising the following
major components: An individual research project conducted in close cooperation
with researchers from the partner universities and industries; A network-wide
training program that includes regular courses and courses in complementary
skills (such as project management and proposal writing); Seminars and
workshops.

For general information on INTRO and the open positions, please visit
www.introbotics.eu or contact the program coordinator Dr. Thomas Hellström at
Umeå University: thomash cs.umu.se

The INTRO partners recognize the importance of gender equality and are committed
to it in all aspects of the project.

Each position has to be applied for separately.

Common closing date for all applications: 15th of April 2010.

Anticipated start date: 1st of September 2010 or earlier.

social and economic reform, both in their own countries and in the Asia-Pacific
region.

ALA Scholarships are for study at Masters or Doctorate level in an Australian
university. Study programs must relate to a priority development area:
disability, economic growth, education, environment, food security, gender,
governance, health, human rights, infrastructure, regional stability, rural
development, water and sanitation. ALA scholars also undertake a Leadership
Development Program in Australia.

As ALA Scholarships are an investment in the future of the Asia-Pacific region,
ALA scholars are required to return to their home country or the region for two
years after they have completed their studies in Australia.

Selection for ALA Scholarships is competitive, based on leadership qualities,
academic excellence and potential impact on return home.

To be eligible to apply, you must meet the following criteria.
