Newcastle University - PhD Studentship in Chemistry

 

 

PhD Studentship
Chemical looping using novel perovskite-type oxy-carriers for hydrogen
production
Newcastle University

Reference Code: CE036
Closing Date: 31st October 2012

Details:

Name of the supervisor(s)
Professor Ian Metcalfe

Sponsor
Funding is available from Newcastle University for qualified candidates.

Duration of the award
3 years

Project description
This project will study the use of perovskite mixed metal oxides in a
chemical looping process for hydrogen production from the
water-gas-shift and/or methane partial oxidation and steam reforming
reactions. By using an appropriate oxygen carrier, a chemical looping
process separates temporally the oxidation and reduction steps of the
overall reaction negating the need for a hydrogen separation step. The
project will investigate the suitability of different oxygen carriers.
It is expected that perovskite-type metal oxides will have a longer
lifetime and higher stability compared to their pure metal
counterparts currently in use in chemical looping. This project will
be supported by the activities of the Group of Applied Catalysis in
Newcastle as part of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Supergen Hub.

Value of the Award and Eligibility
A full award covers tuition fees and an annual stipend of £13,590
(2012/13) . UK, European and overseas students are eligible for
funding.

University of Manchester - PhD Studentship in Valuing Human Life

 

 

4-Year PhD Scholarship
The University of Manchester -School of Environment and Development

Fully Funded by the Leverhulme Trust Starting September 2012:
Allowable death: how is human life valued or not?

We invite applications for a PhD studentship in the newly formed
Leverhulme Centre for the Study of Value with Professors Sarah
Bracking and Philip Woodhouse.

The studentship will be available from September 2012 for four years
and will cover tuition fees and a stipend to the value of over
£54,000, payable subject to eligibility criteria.

These studentships form part of a programme of work titled "Human,
non-human and environmental value systems: an impossible frontier?"
Globally, new markets and commodities are being created in a number of
key policy arenas that are putting prices, and thereby imputing a
particular value, to a number of previously un-priced (but not
necessarily unvalued) things: carbon, ecosystem services, commonly
held land, biodiversity, water and even human lives. This research
will explore how valuation technologies are designed in order to
understand the deficiencies and possibilities of value in political,
social and environmental terms. Its ultimate purpose is to suggest
better ways of doing value calculations that will improve the quality
of our economic and environmental future.

Historically there have existed people who are not valued enough to be
counted even when they die. These lost lives, among what is sometimes
called a global 'surplus population' happen in particular social,
economic and political contexts that are not well understood. This
project will examine 'allowable deaths' from poor health or
malnutrition by detailing narratives of when people don't matter to
others or to potential assisters in government and NGOs, and how this
is justified morally. It will ask how people's social value is framed,
fixed and calculated, and the role of stigma and blame in the social
articulation of allowable death. The PhD will conduct research in
either Zimbabwe or Malawi.

Applications are invited from those with both 'home' (UK/EU) tuition
fee status and 'overseas' fee status. For guidance, please follow this
link on how to determine tuition fee status. We must caution that the
value of the maintenance component will be less for overseas students
than for home students, due to a higher fee level, and a fixed package
overall. To discuss the financial terms of the award, contact
Monique.Brown@manchester.ac.uk.

Applications should be made through our online application procedure
by Friday 24th August 2012, specifying "Allowable death" as the
subject of study. You are NOT required to submit a research proposal.

In section 6 of the online application form, under 'research title'
please insert 'Allowable death'. This will help us filter
applications.

Any enquiries relating specifically to the submission of applications
should be directed to: Laura.Dobson@manchester.ac.uk

Students will be informed of the outcome of the selection process by
7th September 2012.

If you have not been contacted by the 14th September please assume
that you have been unsuccessful. We expect that your studentship will
begin on 17th September, although some flexibility may be possible. We
would like to apologize in advance for the tight deadlines which
apply.

University of Manchester - PhD studentship in climate change research

 

 

4-Year PhD Scholarship
The University of Manchester -School of Environment and Development

Fully funded by the Leverhulme Trust Starting September 2012: Climate
change futures: how is the value of certified emissions reductions
(CERs) created?

We invite applications for a PhD studentship in the newly formed
Leverhulme Centre for the Study of Value with Professors Sarah

The studentship will be available from September 2012 for four years
and will cover tuition fees and a stipend to the value of over

will explore how valuation technologies are designed in order to
understand the deficiencies and possibilities of value in political,
social and environmental terms. Its ultimate purpose is to suggest
better ways of doing value calculations that will improve the quality
of our economic and environmental future.

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) was established at the United Nations
Climate Change Conference in Durban in 2011, with the World Bank named
as an interim Executive in order to provide finance for climate change
mitigation and adaptation in developing countries. Its institutional
and operating practices are in the process of establishment. It will
be central to the effort to create a better climate future, and yet
the calculative practices of how different types of emission reduction
projects are valued are not well understood, even within the national
institutions which accredit successful projects with tradable
certified emissions reductions (CERs). The extension of carbon markets
through the GCF will aggravate this pre-existing problem of valuation.
This project will examine the emerging functionality of the GCF
globally through South African case studies, with fieldwork to be
conducted in South Africa.

Applications are invited from those with both 'home' (UK/EU) tuition
fee status and 'overseas' fee status. For guidance, please follow this

Description:

SIWIS: Spoken Interaction with Interpretation in Switzerland.
Three PhD opportunities in translation, speech
recognition and synthesis.

About SIWIS

The SIWIS project is about speech to speech translation. It will allow
a person to speak to a machine in their native language and have it
automatically recognised, translated and spoken in a different
language. One characteristic of recent technology to achieve this is
that the spoken synthetic voice can sound like the original speaker
instead of a generic speaker or robot.

SIWIS has two broad goals. The first is to customise the current state
of the art to the Swiss language scenario. This entails constructing
recognition, translation and synthesis modules in the main Swiss
languages. The second goal is to advance this state of the art,
focussing especially on prosody. Prosody describes aspects of speech
such as volume, rhythm and pitch; these are the parts that carry
emotion and emphasis, adding extra nuance and personality to the
words.

In order to do this, SIWIS brings together four partners. These
partners possess world leading expertise in each of the component
parts of a translation system. Further, three of the partners are
physically located in cities representing the major language groups of
Switzerland; this includes English, represented by the University of
Edinburgh. The location will be important not only for data collection
(ensuring we have the tools to enable the project), but also for
evaluation, providing native listeners to ensure our results are as
good as can be hoped.

Open Positions

Positions are available at the Universities of Geneva and Edinburgh,
ETH Zurich, and Idiap Research Institute. For details, please see the
project web page at

http://www.idiap.ch/project/siwis

The start dates are expected to be November 2012 - January 2013. All
positions will remain open until filled.

PhD position for engineer/mathematician/computer scientist at KU Leuven

PhD position for engineer/mathematician/computer scientist with good algorithmic skills and preferably a background in (biomedical) signal processing for a thesis on Emotion recognition from EEG by using multi-channel information theoretic metrics.

The thesis has 3 research objectives. First, the EEG activity during the observation of facial emotions is compared to non-emotional facial gestures (e.g., chewing) and locally warped faces. The latter are mosaic scrambled and the original local optic flow patterns from the dynamic faces is played back independently (as a function of time) for each of the checks in the mosaic. Second, emotional facial and body expressions using point-light stimuli are considered so as to minimize the effect of surface characteristics. Third, the outcomes of the fMRI and EEG studies are compared, possibly when performing simultaneous fMRI-EEG recordings.

Fellowship Programme 2013-2014, IAS-STS, Graz, Austria

IAS-STS FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME 2013-2014

The IAS-STS in Graz, Austria, promotes the
interdisciplinary investigation of the links and
interactions between science, technology and
society as well as technology assessment and
research into the development and implementation
of socially and environmentally sound technologies.
Broadly speaking, the IAS-STS is an institute for
the enhancement of science and technology studies.

The IAS-STS invites researchers to apply for a stay
between 1 October 2013 and 30 June 2014 as a

- Research Fellow (up to nine months); or,
- Visiting Scholar (shorter period, e.g. a month)

The IAS-STS offers excellent research
infrastructure. Close co-operation with researchers
at the IFZ (Inter-University Research Centre for
Technology, Work and Culture;
see: www.ifz.aau.at), guest lectures, workshops
and conferences provide an atmosphere of
creativity and scholarly discussion.

Furthermore we can offer five grants, worth EUR
940 per month for long-term Research Fellows
at the IAS-STS.

The Fellowship Programme 2013-2014 is
dedicated to projects investigating the following
issues:

1. Gender - Technology - Environment
This area of research particularly focuses on
gender dimensions of science and technology.
On the one hand, individual perspectives of actors
in the technological field are taken into account;
on the other hand educational, organisational,
societal, environmental and political issues are
gaining more and more relevance.
Promising research should shed more light on
the interrelation between individuals’ concepts
and media representations of gender and
technology.

2. Life Sciences/Biotechnology
Applications a sought in two thematic areas. First, following
some 20 years of public debate, agricultural biotechnology
continues to be a deeply controversial issue in the EU, partly
fueled by progress in science and technology innovation
such as GM industrial and energy crops, or novel breeding
techniques. Research should contribute to a better
understanding of the regulatory, broader policy and
governance challanges of agricultutral biotechnology, and/or
explore strategies to manage these challanges.
Second, in recent years, social studies of the life sciences
wre bound to large scale research programmes. in many
countries these funding schemes have now come to an end.
This is an opportunity to review these previous programmes
via collaborative engagement with the life sciences, as well
as to explore new ways of inquiry. Applicants are
encouraged to address these issues when analysing life
sciences as a social process.

3. Sustainable and Innovative Public Procurement
and Ecodesign
The supply side policy "Ecodesign" and the demand
side policy "Public Procurement" are used to support
the transition towards green, socially responsible and
and innovative markets. Nonetheless, scientific
research in these respective fields is still limited.
Researchers investigating the following areas are
encouraged to apply: The environmental impact or
the innovation potenjtial of green public procurement
and ecodesign; the impact of socially responsible
public procurement; the hurdles, success factors,
efficacy, and wider implications ofEuropean or
national policies for sustainable and innovative public
procurement and ecodesign.

4. Toward Low-Carbon Energy Systems
On basis of the analysis of social, technological and
organisational framework of energy use projects
should contribute to the shaping of sustainable
energy, climate and technology policies. They
should aim at socio-economic aspects of energy
technologies or at strategies of environmental
technology policy. They should develop measures
and strategies for the promotion of renewable
energy sources, for the transition to a sustainable
energy system or contribute to the field of
sustainable construction. Regional governance,
climate policy strategies, innovation policy and the
role of users are important themes. In addition,
the Manfred Heindler grant is awarded for research
projects on the increased use of renewable energies
and on a more efficient use of energy.

5. Sustainable Food Systems
Food security, nutrition, food quality and safety, resource
scarcity, carbon foodprints and other challanges faced in
urban or rural areas are currently dominating the
industrialized and globalized food systems. Research
applications are encouraged which explore different
forms of sustainable food systems, as well as related
social practices and socioeconomic/technical processes
in the production, distribution, marketing, and consumtion
of food. A particular focus lies on governance
mechanisms, policies, and their (potential) contribution to
a wider transformation towards more sustainable cities,
regions and societies.

Applications must be submitted to the IAS-STS
by 31 December 2012.

Post-Doctoral and Graduate Positions Available (Montana Univ)

Post-Doctoral and Graduate Positions Available in Disease Ecology and Integrated Management of Vector-Transmitted Cereal Viruses

Project summary: In the western Great Plains Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV), Wheat mosaic virus (WMoV), and Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) are serious diseases of winter wheat transmitted by the same mite vector, the wheat curl mite. Management of these mite-transmitted diseases relies upon understanding abiotic and biotic factors that drive survival and spread of the vector and pathogen as there are no chemical controls options and multiple non-crop species can serve as reservoirs for vector/virus. Although managing green bridge hosts and planting dates are important tools to mitigate disease risk, the effect of environmental and biological variables on mite and virus population dynamics is inadequately understood; negatively impacting the potential for successful incorporation of these management tools.
We are recruiting candidates for one PhD and one Post-Doctoral position to quantify risk of disease incidence and severity factors across the biological and environmental variability seen in the Great Plains. Results will improve our understanding on the factors conditioning the spread and impact of vector-transmitted cereal viruses as well as approaches to mitigate them.

Location: Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana. MSU is one of the top mid- sized research institutions located in the heart of the Big Sky country. Bozeman was ranked 5th on Outside magazine’s “40 Best College Towns” and the surrounding area offers access to Yellowstone NP and some of the best fly-fishing, hiking, rafting, and skiing in America. For more details visit http://www.montana.edu/wwwnss/thebest.shtml.

Application. Successful candidates will be members of a vibrant, interdisciplinary team of researchers on plant pathology and agro-ecology. Candidates must hold an appropriate degree in ecology, agroecology, or plant pathology. Excellent work ethic, team player, and proficiency in English language (written and oral) are required. Submit 1) Name of the position to which you are applying, 2) Letter of application describing career goals and research interests, 3) Resume, transcripts, and 4) Names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of three references. GRE and TOEFL scores (if required) are mandatory.

Electronic applications are accepted. Applications should be sent to: Dr. Fabian Menalled. menalled@montana.edu. (406) 994-4783
