PhD position on organic chemistry in the protosolar nebula, Kapteyn Institute, Groningen-NL

PhD position on organic chemistry in the protosolar nebula

The Kapteyn Astronomical Institute in Groningen, The Netherlands, is seeking an ambitious, highly motivated applicant for a 4-year PhD bursary position in Star and Planet Formation to work on organic chemistry in the protosolar nebula. The starting date can be anytime in 2008.

The PhD project will specifically study the processing and stability of organic
material in the early Solar System and thereby studying the initial conditions for the formation of life. The goal is to assess the impact of stellar activity (UV and X-rays), winds and highly energetic particles on the formation and survival of abiotic organic species. The work will involve the extension of currently existing chemical reaction databases, the development of a multi-phase gas-grain chemistry and the incorporation of laboratory results into local models of the protosolar nebula. The institute is part of the Netherlands Research School for Astronomy and belongs to the top research institutions in Astronomy worldwide. Research topics currently include cosmology, galaxy evolution, star and planet formation and interstellar matter. Interested applicants should have a very good academic track record and hold the equivalent of a Masters degree, including a substantial thesis, in
Astronomy or Physics when starting the position. Previous numerical experience and a strong chemistry background would be an asset.

Interested candidates should send application material, including curriculum
vitae, education history with transcripts of study record, a brief statement of
research experience and two letters of reference. Selection of candidates will
start May 30, 2008, and will continue until the position is filled.

PhD position: Water in Star-Forming Regions

Water in Star-Forming Regions

Leiden Observatory and Max-Planck Institut fur Extraterrestrische Physik

Two 4-year PhD (AIO) positions are available to study the physical and chemical evolution of low-mass star-forming regions using data on water and related molecules to be obtained in the context of two approved Herschel key programs, WISH and DIGIT. Complementary ground-based submillimeter programs using JCMT, APEX and submillimeter interferometers are planned as well. The analysis will involve state-of-the-art radiative transfer techniques and chemical-dynamical models.

One PhD position will be located at Leiden Observatory, The Netherlands, working mostly with Herschel-HIFI data, whereas the second position will be at the Max-Planck Institut fur Extraterrestrische Physik (MPE), Germany, working mostly with Herschel-PACS data. Both PhDs will be awarded at Leiden University.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae (with a list of grades for exams), a brief statement of research experience, and the names of at least two people who can serve as a reference. Selection of candidates will start on MARCH 1 2008 and will continue until the positions are filled. The positions are open to students of all nationalities with the equivalent of a "doctoraal" (Masters) degree in astronomy, physics or chemistry. The starting date for the positions can be anytime in 2008. Please send applications to:

2 PhD-positions at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering NTNU

Faculty of
Engineering Science and Technology
Department of Energy and Process Engineering


2 PhD-positions at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering (“Flow distribution and instabilities in Multi-Channel Heat Exchangers”)

Two PhD research fellowships on“Flow distribution and instabilities in Multi-Channel Heat Exchangers” are available at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Department of Energy and Process Engineering, Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology. The fellowships arewithin a project financed by Statoil-Hydro and the Gas Technology Center SINTEF-NTNU«Flow mal-distribution and thermo-hydraulic flow instabilities».

The objective of the current project is to improve fundamental understanding and prediction capabilities of cryogenic thermo-hydraulic flow instabilities and flow mal-distribution phenomena related to LNG process units. The main goal of this PhD is to perform analytical and experimental investigation of flow instabilities observed in two-phase flow through parallel interacting channels in heat exchangers. A strong modeling-experimental-simulation activity coupling is intended in the PhD projects. The development of analytical models to describe and analyze the detailed physics of flow mal-distribution in multi-channel heat exchangers is expected. One and two-dimensional models should be considered. These models will require empirical data as closure relations. Therefore, an experimental facility capable of providing such data and model validation will be designed and constructed.

PhD candidates are expected to hold a master’s level degree in a subject relevant for the PhD project and to have a good combination of knowledge and skills in the following areas: Experimental research, thermo-hydraulics, heat transfer and fluid flow, mathematical modeling, scientific computing, and programming.

Each PhD scholarship is limited to 3 years without duties. It is required that the person employed satisfies the requirements for PhD students, participates in the course program of the PhD studies, and finishes the PhD degree within 3 years.

Further information about the positions may be obtained from Associate Professor Carlos A. Dorao (carlos.dorao@ntnu.no), Associate Professor Maria Fernandino (maria.fernandino@ntnu.no), or Professor II Jostein Pettersen (jospet@StatoilHydro.com).

Conditions of appointment:
PhD students follow code 1017, grade 43 – 47, gross NOK 325 600 to NOK 348 900 per year (before tax). PhD students are normally remunerated at wage level 43. There will be a 2 % deduction to the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund from gross salary.

Engagement as a PhD candidate is done in accordance with current appointment regulations with supplementary rules in force giving guidelines for scholarship appointments in universities and university colleges. The goal of each of the announced positions is to obtain a PhD degree. Applicants are obliged to engage in an organized PhD training program, and appointment requires approval of the applicant’s plan for a PhD study within three months from the date of commencement. A contract of employment will be set up for the engagement period regulating the rights and duties of the PhD student.

The engagement is to be made in accordance with the regulations in force concerning State Employees and Civil Servants.

The positions adhere to the Norwegian Government’s policy of balanced ethnicity, age and gender. Persons with immigrant background and women are encouraged to apply.

The application must contain information of educational background and work experience. Copies of transcripts and reference letters should be enclosed.

An application inclusive CV, grade transcripts and other enclosures should be sent electronically through http://www.jobbnorge.no, ref.no. IVT-27/08. Preferably, we want the attachments in one file. Application deadline: 18 May 2008.
