European Information Systems PhD Program

The European Information Systems PhD Program in Computational Logic (EPCL) is run jointly by four of the leading European universities in the field:
•Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy),
•Technische Universität Dresden (Germany),
•Technische Universität Wien (Austria), and
•Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal).
Further international universities, research organizations and enterprises which contribute to Computational Logic or apply results from it are involved as associated partners: The Simon Fraser University (Canada), the Universidad de Chile, the National ICT Australia Limited (NICTA), and several companies. The Information Systems PhD program involves three years of PhD study in at least two of the European partner universities. It leads to a joint doctoral degree of the partner universities at which the studies have been physically performed. The Information Systems PhD language of the program is English. Financial support is available in the form of positions and scholarships.

Information Systems PhD Necessary requirements for participation in EPCL are a Master’s degree in Computer Science or Mathematics, or an equivalent degree; the proof of adequate knowledge of English; and substantial knowledge in the areas Foundations of Logics, Foundations of Artificial Intelligence and Declarative Programming.

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

Temporary
