Fully-funded PhD Studentships: Computational Methods for Flow in Porous Media

Swansea University - College of Engineering
Introduction:

The College of Engineering at Swansea University invites applications for two fully-funded PhD studentships in Computational Engineering.

About the project:

The projects will focus on the development of computational methods for approximation of the flow equations in subsurface reservoirs with complex geologies. The projects will lead to the degree of PhD. Further details are given in

http://www.swan.ac.uk/staff/academic/engineering/edwardsmichael/

The studentships will be based at Swansea University, in a lively and vibrant research environment, with a strength in computational methods and modelling.

Candidate eligibility:

Candidates should hold (or expect to hold) a good honours degree (minimum 2.1) in a relevant discipline (including Mathematics, Computational/Numerical Methods, Physics or Engineering) together with a masters degree in computational (numerical) methods and techniques for solving partial differential equations.

Studentship value:
These industrially funded studentships are open to suitably qualified applicants from the UK, Europe and overseas students and cover full fees and a stipend of up to £17000 per year depending on qualifications and experience.

How to apply:

Applicants should apply by sending a full CV outlining their research interests and names and addresses of at least two academic referees to Prof M G Edwards, Civil and Computational Engineering Centre, School of Engineering, Swansea University, Singleton Park, Swansea SA2 8PP or by email to M.G.Edwards@swansea.ac.uk

Application closing date:

Candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

Further information:

Please contact Professor Michael Edwards M.G.Edwards@swansea.ac.uk for more information.

The European Master's Program in Computational Logic

The European Master's Program in Computational Logic

We are glad to offer you the possibility to join our European Master Program of Computational Logic (EMCL). This program carries the Erasmus Mundus brand name and is offered jointly at the Free-University of Bozen-Bolzano (FUB) in Italy, the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) in Germany, the Universidade Nova de Lisboa (UNL) in Portugal and the Technische Universität Wien (TUW) in Austria. Starting in the first semester at TUD, moving in the second semeser to FUB and choosing a partner university in the second year, you have the choice to study at up to three leading European universities. Furthermore, we have teamed up with the National ICT Australia (NICTA), which gives you the possibility to work on a project at one of the world's leading research centers. You will graduate with a joint MSc in Computer Science from the European universities, at which you have studied. Information on the universities and the program including the application form are provided here:

www.emcl-study.eu

Language of instruction is English. Tuition fees are between 1000 EUR (for EU-students) and 3.000 EUR (for non-EU-students) per year. The EMCL consortium offers different kinds of 2-year scholarships and tuition fee waivers; please check out the above mentioned web sides for details

Application deadline is 15 May 2010. Applications are possible via web interface (from mid of April), by email (to be sent to the EMCL secretary) or by mail. You will be required to submit

# Application form

# Curriculum Vitae

# Reports on university examinations (transcript degree)

# Study curriculum (you must complete a data table provided on the above mentioned application web page; the data must correspond to the official transcript degree)

# Diploma (first degree or bachelor degree; if you complete your bachelor only after the deadline, you must submit a PRELIMINARY certificate)

# English language certificate (TOEFL and IELTS)

More information on the application procedure are available from:

The European Master's Program in Computational Logic

We are glad to offers you the possibility to join our European Master Program of Computational Logic. This program is offered jointly at the Free-University of Bozen-Bolzano in Italy, the Technische Universität Dresden in Germany, the Universidade Nova de Lisboa in Portugal, the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid in Spain and the Technische Universität Wien in Austria. Within this program you have the choice to study at two of the five European universities. You will graduate with a MSc in Computer Science from each of the two universities you have selected. Information on the universities and the program including the application form are provided here:

http://european.computational-logic.org

Language of instruction is English. Tuition fees are 3.000 EUR per year.

We would like to draw your attention to the ERASMUS-MUNDUS scholarship program. The ERASMUS-MUNDUS consortium offers 2-year scholarships of 42.000 EUR for non-EU students in our European Master Program in Computational Logic. EU-students may apply for a three-month scholarship of 3100 EUR for doing their project at NICTA in Australia.

Application deadline is February 10, 2009. Online-applications (pdf-files, ONLY) are possible and must contain:
# Application form
# Curriculum Vitae
# Reports on university examinations (transcripts) and diploma (first degree or bachelor degree). If the bachelor degree will only be available after the deadline, students are required to send us a PRELIMINARY certificate.
# English language certificate (TOEFL and IELTS)

More information on the application procedure are available from:
http://european.computational-logic.org/content/course/how_to_apply.php?id=69

Do not hesitate to contact us again if you have any further questions.

By the way, the European Parliament has approved Erasmus Mundus II. We
are currently preparing an application. If successful, we will be able
to offer a distributed PhD program in Computational Logic on top of our
European Master's Program in the future.

Many thanks -- Steffen

Job Opportunity-PhD Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Group

JOB OPPORTUNITY

at the Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Group headed by Prof.
Hölldobler at the Faculty of Computer Science of the Technische
Universität Dresden, Germany.

The group (www.wv.inf.tu-dresden.de/) coordinates the “European Master’s Program in Computational Logic” (european.computational-logic.org/) and manages the “International Center for Computational Logic” (www.computational-logic.org/index.php). The group’s research orientation is strongly based on logic and formal methods, while the focus lies on the development of methods for knowledge representation and inference as well as on neural-symbolic integration.

The open position is for a Ph.D. Student or Post-Doc. It is available from Aug. 1, 2008 with a duration of 3 years and the possibility of prolongation up to 2 years. The salary is based on E13 TV-L.

The successful candidate is expected to do research in the area of Computational Logic (leading to a doctoral thesis in case of candidates without Ph.D. respectivly leading to a ‘Habilitation’ in case of Ph.D. holders), to do four hours teaching per week during lecturing periods, to assist in supervising the work of students, to provide assistance with administrative academic overhead and project acquisition in an international setting, and to play a substantial role in the administration and maintenance of the group's computer systems consisting of Linux and Apple computers.

Applicants should have an excellent diploma or master degree in computer science or related subject (higher qualifications - e.g. Ph.D. - are also welcome), substantial knowledge in logic-oriented Artificial Intelligence and/or related subjects, proficiency in English, and a substantial acquaintance with German which promises to impove rapidly till spring 2009 such that it will suffice for teaching and dealing with administrative issues.

Please send your application (CV, certificates, transcript of records, contact information of persons whom we can contact for references) to the address mentioned below before July 25, 2008. Please send only copies of your application documents. Electronic applications are accepted.
