Information Systems PhD Scholarship 2011 – Denmark

The Information Systems PhD scholarship is integrated in a project called “COOEE – CO2 emission reduction by exploitation of rolling resistance modelling of pavements”. The transport sector contributes with more than 20% of the total emission of CO2 and therefore there is a huge potential in even small reductions of the energy consumption of cars.

Information Systems PhD Reducing the rolling resistance is one of the ways to reduce emissions. The COOEE project will attack the challenge from various angles: development of advanced models for deterioration and aging of pavements, development of new devices for measuring rolling resistance on the road network and development of novel pavement that is optimized with respect to rolling resistance. All Information Systems PhD these disciplines will be integrated in the road asset management system of the Danish Road Directorate.

Information Systems PhD position in Ecosystem Services Quantification

Job description

The Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences (FALW) focuses on the national and international research fields of the life sciences, health sciences, environmental sciences and earth sciences. FALW offers world-class teaching in a range of Bachelor and Master programmes.

The section of Earth Sciences and Economics has been established recently in FALW. Biogeochemical processes at the Earth’s surface are heterogeneous and have multiple dynamics and interrelationships. As these processes change, they generate new economic and governance challenges, whilst natural and social processes interact differently in specific environments. Integrating this diversity and complexity requires a scientific approach in which societal and environmental needs, economic incentives and governance are taken into account. The section of Earth Sciences and Economics at the Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences sees such integration as its main task. Our aim is to better understand the spatial and temporal patterns of linked natural and economic processes at the Earth’s surface, and thus help improve decision-making and natural resource management. We carry out such research in close cooperation with our colleagues in adjacent disciplines. We will use ‘ecosystem services’ as our framing perspective and focus on exploring spatial patterns in ecosystem services provided by existing landscapes and catchments.

Requirements

The PhD is expected to develop a multi-layered, spatially explicit accounting system for European catchments linking valued services to landscape elements that provide these services. Hydrological raster models will probably form the working basis, but flexibility still exists in methods and conceptualisation.

Conditions of employment

The initial appointment will be for a period of 1 year. After satisfactory evaluation of the initial appointment, it will be extended for a total duration of 4 year. You can find information about our excellent fringe benefits of employment at http://www.workingatvu.nl

The salary will be in accordance with university regulations for academic personnel, and amounts € 2.042,- gross per month in the first year up to € 2.612,- in the fourth year (salary scale 85) based on a full-time employment.

Contract type

Improved Methods for the Preparation of Fluorinated Drugs Scholarships

Approximately 20% of drugs and 40% of agrochemicals currently on the market have at least one fluorine atom in their molecular structure. Hence, fluorinated molecules are of prime importance to the fine chemical industry. Accordingly, we intend to develop new methods to introduce fluorine atoms onto molecules, using transition-metal catalysed activation of otherwise inert carbon-hydrogen and carbon-fluorine bonds. This new field of research hold promise for exciting discoveries.

Funding will be available for 3.5 years and will cover University tuition fees at the UK level and provide the standard tax-free EPSRC stipend (currently £13,290 p.a. and subject to annual increase). In addition, a 3-month placement at an AstraZeneca research site will be scheduled within the course of the training. The successful candidate will be trained in a broad variety of new techniques in the newly refurbished Organic Synthetic Chemistry Laboratory of the University of Liverpool (£4.5 M), which offers an outstanding research environment. Working under the supervision of Dr. C Aïssa and an AstraZeneca co-supervisor, postgraduates engaged is this programme will be optimally prepared to their future career in industry or academia.
