This requires not only a digital transformation process (Industry 4.0) but
also an entirely different way of thinking. Items addressed include: zero
configuration time, zero defect & zero downtime, enhancement of operator work
& wellbeing, digital twins throughout the lifecycle for predictive quality &
maintenance and ‘The Industrial Internet of Things’ (IIoT) using big data in a
flexible network.
## **Virtually design the flexible assembly work cell of the future**
For new industry innovations, you will
* Work together in a research team that combines expertise in numerical modelling, optimisation, control, intelligent model-based development methods, embedded software, data analytics, robotics and signal processing;
* Play a key role in analysing and simulating the product flow as well as the operator experience in variable setups.
Together with the team, you will
* Introduce the possibilities of new technologies for flexible assembly (e.g. one-piece process flow, modular and reconfigurable work cells using component tagging, data-driven reconfigurations, etc.). Supportive technological innovations such as collaborative robots, digital work instructions and AR applications are considered as available resources in the new layout.
* Choose a new conceptual design solution and optimise the design parameters as a function of an optimal product performance and assemblability.
* Check theoretical results in real-life conditions **in our expanding Co-creation Centre with Industry 4.0 manufacturing facilities (Kortrijk).**

ERC Consolidator Project “ARTISTIC”: Opening PhD and postdoctoral positions |
PhD and postdoctoral positions are available within the framework of the ERC
Consolidator project “Advanced and Reusable Theory for the In Silico
optimization of composite electrode fabrication processes for rechargeable
battery Technologies with Innovative Chemistries” (ARTISTIC) lead by Prof.
Alejandro A. Franco at the Laboratoire de Réactivité et Chimie des Solides
(UMR CNRS 7314, Université de Picardie Jules Verne, Amiens, France)
(). The objective of this project is
to develop a computational platform for the prediction of optimal fabrication
processes and electrochemical performance of lithium ion battery electrodes.

* Excellent skills in theoretical physics, and physical-chemistry and/or electrochemistry. Experience in the battery field will be a plus;
* Excellent skills and/or deep experience in programming ( _e.g._ Python, CUDA) and in using scientific calculation techniques ( _e.g_. coarse grained molecular dynamics, kinetic Monte Carlo, lattice Boltzmann, continuum modeling) and software ( _e.g._ Matlab, COMSOL Multiphysics, LAMMPS, GROMACS);
* Skills on parallel and GPU computing will be a plus.
Candidates having experience only on electronic calculations (Density
Functional Theory or similar) will not be considered.
PhD and postdoctoral candidates on the experimental activities are required to
have:
* Excellent skills in physics, chemistry and electrochemistry. Experience in the battery field will be a plus;
* Excellent skills and/or deep experience in process and/or electrochemical engineering, materials characterization ( _e.g._ viscosimetry, porosimetry, BET, SEM, TEM) and electrochemistry techniques ( _e.g._ electrochemical impedance spectroscopy).
“Mixed profiles” (having both modeling and experimental skills) will be
particularly studied.
All candidates are required to have:
* Excellent organizational and time-management skills;
* Ability to communicate results clearly and succinctly;
* Ability to work as a team member and to work independently;
* Excellent level of English, both written and spoken;
* Candidates for postdoctoral positions should have a recently obtained PhD diploma (not older than 1 year at the application date) and a significant track record of publications.

later.
PhD positions are for 3 years, and postdoctoral positions are for 1+1 year.
The place of work will be the Laboratoire de Réactivité et Chimie des Solides
(UMR CNRS 7314) in Amiens, France.
**Application modalities:**
Interested individuals are requested to send to Prof. Alejandro A. Franco’s
email (
[alejandro.franco@u-picardie.fr](mailto:alejandro.franco@u-picardie.fr) ) the
following materials:
* Detailed CV;
* Copy of the 3 most recent publications (if available);
* Motivation letter specific to the ERC project ARTISTIC (applications with generic motivation letters will not be responded);
* The names and contact details of 4 reference persons, at least from 2 different institutions.
**The ARTISTIC Project (** **)**
The aim of this project is to develop and to demonstrate a novel theoretical
framework devoted to rationalizing the formulation of composite electrodes
containing next-generation material chemistries for high energy density
secondary batteries. The framework will be established through the combination
of discrete particle and continuum mathematical models within a multiscale
computational workflow integrating the individual models and mimicking the
different steps along the electrode fabrication process, including slurry
preparation, drying and calendering. Strongly complemented by dedicated
experimental characterizations which are devoted to its validation, the goal
of this framework is to provide insights about the impacts of material
properties and fabrication process parameters on the electrode mesostructures
and their corresponding correlation to the resulting electrochemical
performance. It targets self-organization mechanisms of material mixtures in
slurries by considering the interactions between the active and conductive
materials, solvent, binders and dispersants and the relationship between the
materials properties such as surface chemistry and wettability. Optimal
electrode formulation, fabrication process and the arising electrode
mesostructure can then be achieved. Additionally, the framework will be
integrated into an online and open access infrastructure, allowing predictive
direct and reverse engineering for optimized electrode designs to attain high
quality electrochemical performances. Through the demonstration of a
multidisciplinary, flexible and transferable framework, this project has
tremendous potential to provide insights leading to proposals of new and
highly efficient industrial techniques for the fabrication of cheaper and
reliable next-generation secondary battery electrodes for a wide spectrum of
applications, including Electric Transportation.

Technical Project Manager Industry 4.0 |
## **_With a team of researchers in ‘sensing, monitoring, control & decision-
making’ you set up pioneering industry 4.0-innovations for production
companies & digital twins._**
Flanders Make researchers discover new grounds in smart and interconnected
cyber-physical systems (products and production systems). Production companies
aim to reach higher operational performance at a lower cost, using new
technologies to monitor the state of their machines in operation, with a
faster detection and resolution of anomalies.
In several upcoming projects, sensor data will be used to create **digital
twins**. We enable smart machines to learn from historical events and predict
the future. Some digital twins share valuable insights for the design and
development of next-generation products.
**Take the technical lead of innovative projects and ensure industrial
relevance**
As a Technical Project Manager, you steer the execution of industry-driven
technology research projects. The purpose is to bring tomorrow’s possibilities
of the Industry 4.0 technology, such as digitisation & ‘digital twins’, closer
to the production reality in our manufacturing industry.
You will:
* Take the technical lead and encourage researchers with expertise in sensing, monitoring, control and decision-making to look for new solutions. Challenges include data acquisition, condition monitoring in industrial environments, sensor fusion, cloud connectivity, artificial intelligence (a/o machine learning)…
* Build a collective ambition for your projects with all stakeholders, i.e. the relevant user groups (Automotive and Machine Building Companies) and knowledge partners (Research Labs at Partner Universities);
* Strive for an excellent execution and lead the project team;
* Ensure that project results are both industrially relevant and scientifically excellent.
In infrastructure projects, your team also builds research infrastructure. |

PhD in Biomedical Engineering - Understanding the interaction between
extracellular matrix molecules that modulate tissue turnover |
PhD positions are currently available with [Dr Brooke
Farrugia](https://www.findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/display/person836178) in the
[Department of Biomedical Engineering](https://biomedical.eng.unimelb.edu.au/)
at [The University of Melbourne ](https://www.unimelb.edu.au/)
**[The Project](https://apps.eng.unimelb.edu.au/research-
projects/index.php?r=site/webView&id=583): **
The extracellular matrix provides mechanical support and structure to the
tissue microenvironment and is assembled from various proteins and
glycoproteins, of which collagen and proteoglycans (PGs) are prominent
functional components. PGs are decorated with sulphated glycosaminoglycans
(GAGs) that are heterogeneous in structure, depending on the cell and tissue
type of origin, and vary in a dynamic spatiotemporal manner. The structure of
GAGs can be altered by intracellular enzymes before they are secreted, and by
enzymes in the extracellular space. Remodelling of the extracellular matrix is
a dynamic and ongoing process for many tissues, for which there is a critical
interplay between the cells and cues they receive from their surrounding
environment.
This project will investigate interactions that occur between the
extracellular matrix molecules, collagen and the glycosaminoglycan chondroitin
sulphate, to understand the mechanisms that control tissue regeneration and
remodelling.
This project would suit a student with a Biochemistry background, or a student
that is willing to become familiar and proficient in experimental techniques
including, but not limited to cell culture, _in vivo_ models, ELISA, Western
Blot, chromatography, PCR, glycobiology, and CRISPR
**Application**
Applicants must satisfy the requirements to enrol in a graduate research
program at the University of Melbourne - for more information on the entry
requirements and how to enrol -
Applicants should also satisfy the requirements and apply for a Graduate
Research Scholarship - for more information on eligibility and how to apply -
To be considered as being competitive for a scholarship international students
need to have the equivalent of at least 85%. The University of Melbourne

PhD in Biomedical Engineering - Utilising marine based sulphated
polysaccharides to create new biomimetic material technologies |
PhD positions are currently available with [Dr Brooke
Farrugia](https://www.findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/display/person836178) in the
[Department of Biomedical Engineering](https://biomedical.eng.unimelb.edu.au/)
at [The University of Melbourne ](https://www.unimelb.edu.au/)
**[The Project](https://apps.eng.unimelb.edu.au/research-
projects/index.php?r=site/webView&id=584): **
Rising healthcare costs and an ageing global population has seen the market
demand for engineered tissues and biomaterials rise from $13.6B in 2016 to
over $60.8B by 2021. These regenerative medicine strategies rely on the
development of cost-effective materials that can induce specific biological
functions and/or induce better integration into the body. Glycosaminoglycans
(GAGs) play a key role in these tissue integration processes.
GAGs are a family of sulphated polysaccharides (SP), and are complex,
polydisperse linear chains that regulate many important biological functions.
Heparin and heparan sulphate (HS) are the most well-known GAGs. The first step
in regulating function is that the GAGs need to interact, or bind, with
biological molecules. This interaction is highly dependent on the GAG’s
structure. Specific binding of the GAG with a range of biomolecules, for
example growth factors (GF) and chemokines, has significant downstream effects
on the biological function.
This project takes inspiration from nature as we seek to utilise marine SPs
and develop a fundamental understanding of how changes in the structure and
nature of these molecules affects their ability to induce specific biological
activities.
This project would suit a student with a Materials or Chemical Engineering
background that is interested in conducting experiments that will answer
fundamental research questions that will lead to the development of new
technologies and the potential to work with industry collaborators.

Lecce, the capital of Salento, is both a city of history and art: its elegant,
cozy historic center showcases remnants from the Messapians to the Middle
Ages, although it is particularly renowned for its baroque architecture (a
Florence of the Baroque era) built in the characteristic soft local stone
(pietra leccese) that dazzles in the sunshine. However, Lecce is also a
capital of Italian cooking built on a local tradition of simple ingredients
(“cucina povera”) and robust red wines (Negroamaro and Primitivo), and sports
a buzzing bar scene. Century-old olive groves stretch over the countryside,
whereas a short distance away are wild beaches with a clear azure sea famous
for diving and picturesque rocky caves. |

Montpellier Advanced Knowledge Institute on Transitions (MAK'IT) - CALL FOR
APPLICATIONS "VISITING SCIENTISTS" |
**OBJECTIVE**
**This hosting programme is dedicated to senior researchers from abroad, whose
research project is related, in a transversal and innovative way, to the
action areas of the _Montpellier Advanced Knowledge Institute on Transitions_
(MAK’IT) – agriculture & food, environment, health – and contributes to its
mission to analyse, accompany and accelerate transitions towards sustainable
development. The selected fellows are invited for a 3 to 10 month residency in
a research unit of the Montpellier University of Excellence (MUSE) consortium
of their choice.**
Co-funded by MAK’IT and the host research structure, this programme offers
these fellows a privileged working environment for nurturing their ideas and
creativity in a decompartementalised way within a world-renown scientific
community. MAK’IT organizes weekly exchanges among fellow residents who are
pushed to foster innovative interdisciplinary approaches, breaking with
academic routines and geared toward the implementation of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). MAK’IT fellows are also strongly encouraged and
actively supported in their efforts to create new connections and develop
concrete collaborations with Montpellier’s scientific community.
**HOSTING CONDITIONS**
A hosting agreement is signed between the University of Montpellier, on which
MAK’IT depends administratively, the host research units and the fellow to
formalize the following modalities.
**_Research resources_**
Fellows invited by MAK’IT are detached from their usual obligations in their
home institution and have the necessary availability to freely devote
themselves to their research project and participate in the Institute’s
activities.
During their stay in Montpellier, they each have an office equipped with a
computer, Internet access and printing facilities within the research unit
that hosts them. The fellows also have access to several meeting rooms and a
250-seat amphitheatre in MAK’IT’s premises.
MAK’IT facilitates access and extended lending rights in the main libraries of
the University of Montpellier, as well as the possibility, with financial
participation, of having lunch at the cafeteria of the research unit that
hosts them, when this option is available.
**_Housing_**
MAK’IT works with a seasonal apartment rental agency in Montpellier to offer
guest fellows a range of quality apartments, selected by itself, that are
fully equipped and nearby or easily accessible from the Institute.
MAK’IT takes full and direct responsibility for the accommodation costs of its
residents. Requests for family accommodation must be indicated in the
application form in order to be considered.
**_Flat-rate monthly allowance_**
Fellows invited to MAK’IT remain attached to their home institution during
their stay: they do not have an employment contract with the Institute and it
is their responsibility to ask their institution of origin to maintain all or
part of their salary.
MAK’IT allocates guest fellows a monthly allowance of a non-negotiable lump
sum of €3,000. This amount is calculated to enable fellows to largely cover
the costs related to their stay in Montpellier and to finance their scientific
activity (travels to meetings, registration fees for scientific events,
purchases of books or software, etc.).
**_Travel and visa_**
MAK’IT, via the host research unit.s of the fellow, covers its fellows’ return
trip between Montpellier and their usual place of residence, in economy class.
Any immigration costs (visa) are also covered by MAK’IT.
**_Insurance and social security coverage_**
MAK’IT does not cover insurance and social security costs, which must be borne
by the fellows themselves or their employer. The MAK’IT team is at the
fellows’ disposal to assist them in dealing with international health
insurance companies, in the event that the coverage available through their
home institution is not valid in France.
The fellows must provide proof of adequate social security coverage, covering
the risks of illness, accidents at work and civil liability, before arriving
in Montpellier.
**_Administrative services_**
The MAK’IT team is at the fellows’ disposal to help them with the
administrative procedures related to their installation in Montpellier and the
organization of their scientific events.
If necessary, their families also benefit from specific support: schooling of
children, assistance with the academic integration of spouses, French as a
foreign language courses, etc.
**COMMITMENTS OF THE FELLOW**
A stay at MAK’IT aims to enable invited fellows to carry out their research
through an innovative and enriching approach, by freely organising their
activities and working hours and benefiting from the necessary services and
assistance in their daily practical and administrative procedures. It also
implies the acceptance of certain conditions.
**_Time spent in Montpellier_**
Each invited fellow is required to be in Montpellier for at least 90% of the
duration of his/her stay (excluding periods of closure of the Institute). This
residency requirement, which is essential to establish genuine partnerships
with the local scientific community, is compatible with occasional absences,
which must be reported in advance. Absences of less than a week are simply
notified to the host research unit(s) and the MAK’IT team. A longer absence
will be subject to management approval.
**_Contribution to MAK’IT activities_**
The fellow commits to contribute to the interdisciplinary activities, meetings
and reflections organized by MAK’IT during his/her stay, including Fellows’
seminars and lunches (half a day a week). He/she undertakes to share the
progress of his research with the other fellows and the local scientific
community and to prepare a short activity report at the end of his/her stay.
**_Organisation of an international public scientific event in Montpellier_**
With the logistical and financial support of MAK’IT, the fellow commits to
organise, during his/her stay in Montpellier, at least one scientific event of
international scope, open to the public, in connection with his research
project and in collaboration with the research unit.s that hosts him/her and
the Montpellier scientific community more broadly.
**_Communication and dissemination of results_**

PhD position: Advanced 3D bioprinting, biofabrication and modelling at the
intersection of computational optimisation, microscale physics, tissue
engineering |
**Lead Researcher:** Dr. David Collins
**University and Affiliation:** University of Melbourne, Melbourne School of
Engineering
**Preferred Background:** Science and Engineering Disciplines (including
Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering and Materials
Engineering)
**Project:** This job offer is for a PhD position in the Collins
BioMicrosystems Laboratory (CBML) in the Department of Biomedical Engineering
at the University of Melbourne, Australia's #1 University. This is an open
call for students interested topics related to 3D bioprinting and microscale
manipulation, especially those interested in building new technologies and
approaches.
One potential application space is in tissue organoids, collections of
100-10,000 cells replicating the function of macro-scale organs, are an
emerging technology that is enabling rapid drug discovery and the development
of implantable tissues. The techniques used to form these organoids, however,
are highly limited in terms of the tissue structures that can be created; the
ability to spatially define these organ-analogues with an order of magnitude
higher precision in terms of their heterogeneous composition and shape will
make tissue organoids an even more powerful tool for biomedical science. In
this project, the successful applicant will seek to combine approaches in
computational optimisation, potentially including artificial intelligence,
genetic algorithms and the like to design systems that can generate defined
organoid topologies. A PhD in this area is an attractive area to work due to
the significance of applications and the wide range of skillsets that will be
developed.
Because this interdisciplinary project lies at the intersection of a number of
different research fields, self-motivated students with an interest or
experience in microfabrication, mechatronics, computational optimization,
analytical modelling and/or microscale physics, with the potential to develop
skillsets in cell culture, are strongly encouraged to apply. Interested
candidates may contact Dr. Collins for additional information. |

Post-doctoral position |
Context: A post-doctoral position in the context of a KU Leuven competitive
funding ID-N (interdisciplinary) project is available in the Endothelial Cell
Biology Research Unit, headed by Prof. Dr. Aernout Luttun, at the Center for
Molecular and Vascular Biology, Department of Cardiovascular Sciences, KU
Leuven, Belgium. This interdisciplinary project is executed by a collaborative
and highly interactive network of three different KU Leuven labs that have a
broad diversity of technologies available. This post-doctoral position will
therefore offer the possibility to gain proficiency in various aspects of the
behavior of endothelial cells, including transcriptional regulation,
mechanosensing and interaction with their surrounding matrix.
**Background and aims of the project:** All organs, with a few exceptions,
contain a blood vessel network that is adapted to fulfill the needs of the
host tissue. Endothelial cells lining the inside of these vessels have
therefore acquired specific molecular, morphologic and functional
characteristics that become compromised when exposed to disease conditions.
Unraveling the mechanisms that determine these organ-specific endothelial
characteristics offers the possibility to develop novel strategies to diagnose
and treat organ-specific vascular diseases. The current project focusses on
endothelial cells in three vital organs, heart, liver and brain. The host lab
identified transcription factor combinations highly enriched in endothelial
cells in each of these organs. These transcription factors combined with
different environmental cues determine the unique properties of endothelial
cells in each organ. The central aim of this interdisciplinary project is to
estimate the relative contribution of transcription factors and environmental
signals to the heterogeneous nature of endothelial cells. This will be
accomplished by artificially altering transcription factor expression or by
changing their environment through variation of their hemodynamic and
mechanical environment. The identification of relevant combinations of
transcriptional and environmental modulators of organ-specific endothelial
cell phenotypes can inform tissue engineers of the important characteristics
to include in the design of organ-specific vascular bed repair strategies.
Responsibilities:
● you will have a dedicated project related to the aims described above and be
responsible for its administration and execution
● you will be collaborating with other team members working on endothelial
heterogeneity in the host lab and also with colleagues working in the other
two labs participating in this ID-N project
● your project will involve working with cells derived from different species
(including transgenic mice and human donors) and will encompass their
isolation and culture, their manipulation by lentiviral overexpression of
transcription factor (combination)s or by altering cell environment (through
exposure to flow, native extracellular matrix or artificial matrices with
different degrees of stiffness); an important part of the work will be related
to expressional and functional profiling of the (manipulated) cells
● you will be expected to present your work at internal and external
(inter)national meetings |

Postdoctoral Fellow - High-field Initiative project (IV-7) |
ELI Beamlines research centre in Dolní Břežany is a part of pan-European
infrastructure ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) representing a unique tool
of support of scientific excellence in Europe by making available its
capacities to the best scientific teams across the world. The aim of ELI
Beamlines is to establish the most intensive laser system in the world and to
operate it on a long-term basis. Due to ultra-high performances of 10 PW (1
petawatt = 1,000,000,000,000,000 watts) and concentrated intensities of up to
1024 W/cm2, we can offer our users a unique source of radiation and beams of
accelerated particles. The so called beamlines will enable ground-breaking
research in the area of physics and science dealing with materials, but also
in biomedicine and laboratory astrophysics and many other fields. ELI
Beamlines is a part of the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of
Sciences, and it was open in 2015.
The Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences is a holder of the
HR Excellence in Research Award. It is awarded by the European Commission to
institutions which put significant effort into improving their human resources
strategy and ensuring professional and ethical working conditions.
The HIFI (High Field Initiative) project has recently begun its work at ELI
Beamlines. The HIFI project is established to be the leading project in the
high field science. In contrast to other approaches we are emphasizing the
synergy between the theory and experiments and building a strong theoretical
group to develop new ideas for experiments. In parallel we are building a
computing centre aimed at conducting computer simulations. The project will
advance our knowledge of laser accelerated electrons and ions as well as high
energy photon generation in novel regimes when radiation friction and quantum
electrodynamics processes, such as electron-positron pair creation and vacuum
polarization, become significant. To explore this regime experimentally an
upgrade of the existing at ELI-BL infrastructure around the 10 PW laser beam
will be done within the [HIFI project](https://www.eli-
beams.eu/about/projects/ongoing-projects/hifi/).
Postdoctoral Fellow - High-field Initiative project (IV-7)

A Postdoctoral position to study Ferroptosis in cancer |
A three-years Postdoctoral position is available at the Weizmann Institute of
Science to study ferroptosis in breast cancer and its implication in cancer
therapy. Ferroptosis is a newly discovered cell death pathway driven by iron-
dependent lipid peroxidation. We recently discovered new inducers of
ferroptosis, and specific metabolic states that increase vulnerability to
ferroptosis, and thus can be used for cancer therapy. We have
multidisciplinary projects related to ferroptosis in TNBC (triple negative
breast cancer), and we are currently looking for two talented and enthusiastic
postdocs to join us.

Post-doctoral position in Aeroacoustics: physically-based sound synthesis of
wind turbine noise |
**Context**
Wind energy is expanding rapidly in France, as elsewhere in the world, and
some people are concerned about a significant annoyance that might be partly
due to the nature of the noise emitted, which includes important low frequency
components (audible or not), with a modulated temporal structure. One of the
objective of the French project RIBEolh (Research on the impacts of wind
turbine noise on humans: sound, perception, health), is to perform a
psychoacoustic study under controlled conditions using signals measured and
synthesized for different operating conditions of wind turbines. This approach
enables the synthesis of noise based on well-identified and controllable
physical parameters, which will make it possible to precisely determine the
parameters that have an important role in the effects of wind turbine noise on
perception and annoyance. The sound synthesis will make it possible to
eliminate background noise, wind turbine noise being characterized by low
signal to noise ratios, and to consider conditions that may differ from those
found during acoustic measurements in the field. Contrary to existing sound
synthesis tools, based on the signal processing techniques, the physically-
based sound synthesis approach will enable us to identify the the parameters
that have an important role on loudness and annoyance related to wind turbine
noise.
The sound synthesis tool of the RIBEolh project will thus be based on the
physical modeling of noise sources radiated by wind turbines and on their
propagation in the atmosphere. It will take into account the fact that the
source is extended and in motion in order to correctly predict the directivity
pattern and amplitude modulations of wind turbine noise. The tool will be
divided into three main modules:
1. broadband aerodynamic noise;
2. tonal components of aerodynamic or mechanical noise;
3. background noise associated to wind on the microphone and on vegetation.
The first module corresponds to the dominant aeroacoustic sources in the
audible frequency range for large-scale wind turbines, and will be based on
the synthesis model of Mascarenhas et al. (2021) based on Amiet’s theory. In
the RIBEolH project, we will focus mostly on turbulence interaction noise and
on separation/stall noise, as these noise sources are generally louder than
trailing edge noise below 300-400 Hz. The tonal components of aerodynamic
noise are present at the harmonics of the blade passing frequency (typically
around 0.8 Hz), and are mainly attributed to the tower-blade interaction
noise. The unsteady loading on the blades and on the tower can either be
calculated using simplified aerodynamic models such as the Blade Element
Momentum model, or with more refined simulations such as the ones based on the
sliding mesh method. The third module, corresponding to background noise, will
focus on the wind-induced noise on the microphone. This noise will be included
in the sound synthesis used in the perceptual validation performed in the
Mechanics and Acoustics Laboratory (LMA) in Marseille in order to match the
_in situ_ recordings, but will not be included in the psychoacoustic tests as
only wind turbine noise components will be studied.
**Objectives**
The objectives of this post-doctoral position are:
* to develop aeroacoustic models for broadband and tonal sources that are suitable in a sound synthesis context;
* to compare the model predictions to in situ measurements at different distances from the wind turbines and for various meteorological conditions, both in the time domain (amplitude modulation) and in the frequency domain (third octave band spectra) in order to test the performance of the sound synthesis tool;
* to transfer the tool to the project partners in charge of the perceptual validation of the sound synthesis. |

Prof. Dr. Volker Wendisch |
The Chair of Genetics of Prokaryotes at the Bielefeld University is offering a
position for
**PhD student in the field of industrial biotechnology.**
**About us:**
The world will have to adopt a circular bioeconomy to achieve the sustainable
development goals (SDGs). We believe that fermentation processes converting
sustainable feedstocks that do not have competing uses as food or feed to
sought-after target products will be an important cornerstone of this change
towards biologization of various industries.
Our research in the field of microbial biotechnology focusses on metabolic
engineering. Insight from basic research on global gene regulation e.g., of
central carbon metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis or carotenogenesis guides
our systems metabolic engineering of industrially relevant bacteria. We make
use of CRISPR methods, microbial consortia, the concept of flux enforcement,
adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE), genome resequencing and RNAseq analysis
to experimentally verify fundamental physiological hypothesis and to leverage
this insight for rational strain development.
Our work on feedstocks addresses various agro- and aquaculture sidestreams and
their monomeric constituents. The product focus is on a number of target
compounds belonging to different product classes (amines, organic acids,
isoprenoids, alkaloids, etc.). Performance of engineered strains is
characterized from the microscale (Biolector) to the bioreactor scale. We are
involved in national and international collaborative research projects from
narrowly focused to larger projects that may cover the full value chain.
We are members of Bielefeld university’s Center for Biotechnology (CeBiTec)
() and of its Faculty of
Biology ([https://www.uni-
bielefeld.de/fakultaeten/biologie/forschung/arbeitsgrupp...](https://www.uni-
bielefeld.de/fakultaeten/biologie/forschung/arbeitsgruppen/genetics-
prokaryotes)), providing highly interdisciplinary research, opportunities for
further education and worldwide cooperation.
**We offer:**
This PhD project comprises physiological and genetic experiments including
CRISPR based methods with biotechnologically relevant bacteria, especially
_Corynebacterium glutamicum_. This organism is currently used for the
production of more than 3 million tons of amino acids per year from glucose
and thus is of outstanding importance in industrial biotechnology. We develop
metabolic engineering strategies for access to alternative carbon sources
present in agro-residual wastes streams and fishery wastes and apply these to
sustainable production of value added compounds. Especially transport
engineering is a thematic focus.
**We seek:**
Suitable candidates must hold or achieve a Diploma or Master´s degree in
biology, biochemistry, biotechnology or related fields. Applicants should have
a solid theoretical and practical knowledge of modern microbiology, molecular
genetics and biochemistry. Experiences with molecular genetics methods as well
as fermentation are beneficial. Candidates should have a high motivation to
succeed in science, should be kind, efficient and reliable team players and
should be fluent in English. |

PhD Research Fellow in Cognitive Computing from Cloud to Edge |
Position as PhD Research Fellow in Cognitive Computing from Cloud to Edge is
available at the Networks and Distributed Systems cluster (ND), Department of
Informatics, University of Oslo.
The fellowship period is three years.
Application Deadline: September 8, 2021
The starting date for the position is negotiable, but preferably not later
than December 2021.
**More about the position:**
Current cloud-based systems delegate the bulk of their data processing and
storage activities to cloud data centres, creating major network traffic,
delay and cost issues. Fog/Edge computing addresses these challenges by moving
computation closer to the end devices, e.g. performing ultra-low latency
machine learning inference at the edge for smart vehicles in 5G networks. In
such environments, new AI-enabled cloud computing models are required to
automatically adapt to the growing complexity and data volumes and fully
automate service deployment and orchestration across diverse computing
platforms from the Cloud to the Edge. In this project, the student is expected
to work on the concept of Cognitive Edge Cloud which is aimed to achieve the
above goal through interfacing with all the layers in the computing continuum
and learning through the monitoring and management of resources in Cloud/Edge.
The PhD candidate will be part of an excellent research team focusing on
Dynamic and Intelligent Computing Models for Cloud and Edge. We are currently
conducting the research in this field within two prestigious research
projects: one international EU project [H2020
MORPHEMIC](https://www.morphemic.cloud/), and one national project [RCN
DILUTE](http://www.dilute.no/).
**Research and study environment:**
The PhD project will be conducted at the Networks and Distributed Systems (ND)
research group at the Informatics Department. ND is renowned for its leading
research in networking, distributed systems, IoT/CPS systems design, cloud and
edge computing models, energy informatics, and security and robustness. The
group has long experience in coordinating and participating several EU
projects, namely, EU FP6 QuA, FP6 MADAM, FP7 MUSIC, FP7 RITE, H2020 NEAT,
H2020 HOLACloud, H2020 MELODIC, and H2020 MORPHEMIC. ND collaborates closely
with well-known universities worldwide, such as UIUC, Princeton Uni., Cornell
Uni., Uni. of Toronto, Uni. of California Irvine, TU Munich, and Vrije Uni.

Open PhD and Post-Doc positions in Artificial Intelligence and Machine
learning in Toulouse, France |
The University of Toulouse seeks to hire outstanding PhD and Post Doc
candidates in artificial intelligence and in particular in machine learning at
its new Institute on Artificial and Natural Intelligence (ANITI). ANITI
strongly encourages applications from women for phd and post doc positions and
is fully committed to improving gender balance across all branches of
artificial intelligence
About ANITI
\-----------------
The French government, in consultation with an international jury of experts,
has selected ANITI to be one of four, highly visible interdisciplinary
institutes spearheading AI research, education, and economic development in
France.
The ambition of ANITI is to develop a new generation of artificial
intelligence called hybrid AI, associating in an integrated way data driven
machine learning techniques and symbolic and formal methods allowing to
express constraints and to carry out logical reasoning. The objective is to
provide better guarantees in terms of reliability, robustness and ability to
explain and interpret the results of systems integrating artificial
intelligence algorithms, while ensuring their social acceptability and
economic viability. Such guarantees are required by many applications such as
autonomous transport, industry of the future, health, environment, space,
insurance, etc. This approach will also facilitate decision support and
optimize the performance of industrial systems and processes.
ANITI's scientific project is structured around three major integrative
programs:
\- Acceptable AI: This program addresses two broad sets of challenges. The
first deals with different facets of the social, economic, legal and ethical
acceptability of systems integrating artificial intelligence algorithms. The
second focuses on data challenges. It aims at developing new solutions
allowing 1) the detection and elimination of biases in the selection and
interpretation of data used by learning models 2) the prevention of the risk
of not taking into account rare events in the learning process 3) the
automatic annotation and semantic representation of heterogeneous, multi-
source, multi-scale and time-varying masses of data.
\- Certifiable AI : This program aims to study the fundamentals of data-driven
machine learning models, their properties, and the interactions between data-
driven and analytical models, for example for the efficient simulation of
complex physical processes. Topics include robustness, optimization,
verification of performance guarantees, proposing a hybrid AI approach for
accelerating the simulation of physical models, and designing and validating
certifiable architectures of critical autonomous systems (e.g. in aeronautics
and automotive).
\- Collaborative AI: This program aims to develop AI systems or assistants
with relevant properties and advanced capabilities to improve interaction with
humans as well as to optimize decision making, design and operational use in
industrial processes. Topics include fundamental work on multimodal language
as well as mobile robotics with physical interaction capabilities to perform
complex tasks in a collaborative manner. Research also focuses on the
development of methods for efficient and scalable anomaly detection and
predictive maintenance, as well as optimization techniques to reduce the
complexity of problems that arise in system design. This program also
Each integrative program brings together several chairs, each one composed of
a small team with a principal investigator, associate researchers, PhD
students and postdoctoral students as well as engineers from ANITI industrial
partners. It is designed to foster exchanges between researchers and industry
to address issues raised by one or more application areas through scientific
advances in fundamental areas of AI.
The scientific challenges addressed in the integrative programs, resulting
from the projects of the chairs and from the use cases provided by ANITI's
industrial partners, are declined in twelve themes.
\- AI and Society:
\- Learning with little or complex data
\- Fair Learning
\- Explainable AI
\- Optimisation and game Theory for AI
\- Certifiable AI: Safet design and embeddability
\- AI and Physical models
\- Automatic reasoning and decision
\- Data and anomalies
\- Language
\- Robotics and AI
\- Neurosciences and AI
Starting operations in autumn 2019, ANITI brings together more than 200
researchers from universities, engineering schools, scientific and
technological research organizations, and about thirty companies (Airbus,
Thales, Renault, Continental, IBM, Linagora, etc.). Twenty four research
chairs are funded in this context, of which at least ten will be chaired by
researchers brought in from the exterior. The project will also promote
international mobility and collaboration to attract outstanding students and
researchers.
Open Phd and PostDoc positions:
\-----------------------------------------------
Several PhD and Post Doc positions are still open. The working language at the
institute is English, and salaries are internationally competitive.
PhD Positions: duration 36 months, net salary: 2096€ per month with some
teaching (64 hours per year on average)
Post Doc Positions : from one to four years. Net salary: negotiable with a
minimum of 2600€ per month with some teaching (64 hours per year on average).

Professor of English (Tenure Track Associate Professor) |
Tallinn University has announced a public competition for the position of
Professor of English. The elected candidate commences work on the first career
level of the position (associate professor) with the aim of supporting their
development into a leader of the relevant study and research field in Tallinn
University, and moves to the second career level of the position (professor)
by way of evaluation.
Position: Associate Professor of English (career level I of Tenure Track
Professorship)
Academic unit: [School of Humanities](https://www.tlu.ee/en/ht)
Study area: Western European Studies
The position will be filled from 01.01.2022
The deadline of application: 16th September 2021
**Description of academic activity** : The professor is responsible for
promoting and leading interdisciplinary research activities in the field of
English Studies at Tallinn University. Possible research and teaching areas
includes studies of Anglophone cultures and literatures and / or English
Language.
**Strategic importance of the position**
_Relevance of the field to the development priorities of TLU, Estonia and
Europe:_ Studies of English and Anglophone Culture are among the traditional
areas of teaching and research of Tallinn University. English is the first
foreign language of most Estonian schools and the lingua franca in politics,
economics, science and culture in Europe and worldwide. The wide scope of the
field necessitates a high level of articulation. English as one of the
languages of professional communication is a part of most TLU curricula. TLU
prepares English teachers, translators and interpreters. Knowledge of English-
speaking cultures and literatures is an important component of many curricula
in addition to that of English Language and Culture, and the professor is
therefore expected to contribute to the development of a wide range of
disciplines. In addition, it is important to develop and coordinate English-
language curricula and thereby enhance the international visibility of the
School and the University.
_The strategic importance of the professorship at the School and its
relationship with other planned new career model positions, including tenure
system positions_ : The professorship should be, on the one hand, focused on
the study of transnational literature in English and/or the English language.
On the other hand, it would also involve education of English philologists, as
well as professionals in literary studies, translation studies, and teachers
of English, providing applied output in these fields. Collaboration is
possible and planned with professors of translation studies and semiotics,
comparative literary and cultural analysis as well as university researchers
in the field environmental and gender studies. The perspective of a project
and grant application in the areas of expertise on current topics is of
strategic importance and the role of the professor should be primarily to
promote and lead research activity in a field which is clearly strategic for
Estonian society and popular among students, but in which coordinated research
has been unfortunately quite modest at Tallinn University.
**Requirements for the candidate** (incl. professional experience)
Candidates for the tenure system position shall meet at least the requirements
of career level I of tenure system professor (associate professor), which are
stipulated in [Annex 2 and respectively in Annex 9 and
10](https://www.tlu.ee/sites/default/files/Personaliosakond/Documents/TLU_Employment_Relations_Rules%20\(annexes\).pdf)
to the Employment Relations Rules, incl.:
* The candidate must have a doctoral degree or equivalent qualification in English Studies, Literature or Language;
* If the candidate has worked as a professor for at least five years immediately prior to applying for the position of a professor at the University (except when applying for the position of a professor in the field of arts), at least one doctoral thesis must have been defended under their (co)supervision during the last five years.
**Job responsibilities**
In accordance with [Annexes 1, 2 and
10](https://www.tlu.ee/sites/default/files/Personaliosakond/Documents/TLU_Employment_Relations_Rules%20\(annexes\).pdf)
to the Employment Relations Rules.
The first level of the tenure system position: associate professor.

PMO-15E PIADS Centre for Doctoral Training PhD Studentships |
**PMO-15E PIADS Centre for Doctoral Training PhD Studentships**
**Contract: Full Time/Fixed Term Commencing: September 2021**
We have **5 prestigious PIADS PhD positions available**. Students will join an
exciting and well-established Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) hosted by
IPIC (the Irish Photonics Integration Centre) in the Republic of Ireland
(ROI), and in partnership with Queens University Belfast and the University of
Glasgow.
Graduating PIADS doctoral students are equipped with the high level scientific
and engineering research skills needed to address the challenges of developing
new integrated photonic technologies for diverse applications as well as with
the entrepreneurial, leadership and teamwork capabilities needed to lead and
operate at the highest levels in industry. The programme is a gateway to a
vast array of career paths from data storage, semiconductors,
telecommunications, biophotonics, medical technologies and more. PIADS CDT
students can progress into a range of research and development, technical and
management roles in industry or academia.
The ROI students will be based at one of the IPIC academic partners; Tyndall
National Institute, Cork Institute of Technology, Dublin City University,
Trinity College Dublin and University College Cork, and will have access to an
advanced structured training programme, to world class facilities and academic
expertise that spans the partners above and University of Glasgow and Queen's
University in Belfast.
**Why Apply?**
As a student on the programme you will join a vibrant, supportive and engaging
cohort of over 40 students and will have the chance to travel and attend a
bespoke week long induction programme with students from all three partners,
an annual Winter & Summer School and have access to advanced training courses
in areas such as semiconductor fabrication, packaging, biophotonics and
entrepreneurship. In addition, IPIC and PIADS have many industry partners that
will open up many research and career opportunities.
_Students can apply to one of 5 Research Themes that include:_
* Monolithic and Heterogeneous Integration: ‘Printed photonics on anything’ - This Theme is developing a range of essential semiconductor material, device and integration technologies, with a key objective being to find new ways to combine photonics and electronics together on multiple substrates (silicon, ceramic, polymer etc.) with unprecedented simplicity and cost-effectiveness, using transfer printing.
* Packaging and Hybrid Integration: ‘Breaking the packaging cost barrier’ - The high cost of photonic packaging, which can amount to as much as 80% of total product cost in some applications, has restricted the deployment of photonics to a relatively small number of mass and niche markets to date (albeit markets of enormous value). This Theme is developing optical and electrical wafer-scale assembly and packaging processes and low cost cooling technologies that aim to ‘break this cost barrier’.
* Communications: ‘Coherent everywhere: migration of coherent communications to the network edge’ - The future real-time internet will require a converged wireless/optical edge cloud with unprecedented ability to dynamically reconfigure in the wavelength and time domain, in response to rapid and massive bandwidth fluctuations and latency-critical service demands. Coherent communications systems offer the potential to deliver this vision, but are currently orders of magnitude too expensive. This Theme is addressing the question: can we build an ultra-low cost coherent transceiver and, if so, how will this transform metro-scale access network design?
* Biomedical: ‘World’s smallest integrated imaging system for guided surgery’ - Today, surgeons are seeking the ability to generate high quality, diagnostic images deep within the body using micro-scale instrumentation, such as endoscopes and arterial guidewires. This Theme is developing new innovations in micro-scale cameras and surgical platform integration technologies, multi-spectral diagnostic imaging and in-body optical powering and data transmission to address this need and deliver a number of world firsts.
* Research Frontiers: this aspect of the programme is exploring emerging new areas of photonics and electronics research spanning from theory through materials, devices, integration and packaging to advanced systems that will shape the future of optical science and engineering.

[ERC CoG EARLY-ADAPT] Postdoctoral researchers in climate, air pollution,
environmental epidemiology, economy and social sciences |
The Barcelona Institute for Global Health, ISGlobal, is the result of an
innovative alliance between academic, government, and philanthropic
institutions to contribute to the efforts undertaken by the international
community to address the challenges in global health.
**What we are looking for:**
We are seeking **between 4 and 6 talented and highly motivated postdoctoral
researchers** in the areas of **climate, air pollution, environmental
epidemiology, economy and social sciences.** The successful candidates will
join the research team of [Dr. Joan Ballester
](http://www.joanballester.eu/)at [ISGlobal](https://www.isglobal.org/en/)
within the framework of various research projects (see “Project information”
below), mainly the ERC project EARLY-ADAPT (find details in the next
paragraph). The team will be at the forefront of environmental research by
creating and analysing a novel database of human health in Europe, which
incorporates a range of environmental, socioeconomic and demographic variables
and novel digital data streams at different spatiotemporal scales. Interest is
additionally expressed for candidates specialized in **big data, infectious
diseases and COVID-19** (see “Competences and duties” below).
**EARLY-ADAPT** (“Signs of Early Adaptation to Climate Change”) is a 5-year
**European Research Council Consolidator Grant
([ERC-2019-CoG](https://erc.europa.eu/))**, whose overarching aim is to
jointly analyse the multiple drivers of recent trends in human health. Its
driving hypothesis is that societies are starting to adapt to climate change,
but the effectiveness of early adaptation is heterogeneous in space and time.
EARLY-ADAPT will create a daily, continental-wide database with
[https://www.isglobal.org/es/-/signs-of-early-adaptation-to-climate-
chang...](https://www.isglobal.org/es/-/signs-of-early-adaptation-to-climate-
changemultiple) health outcomes, climate variables, seven air pollutants,
desert dust and influenza. The database will be used to model the relation
between health and the environment, quantify the modifying effect of the
societal factors, and perform a predictability analysis to determine the most
realistic adaptation scenarios for the projections of future health. The
project will allow to detect, understand and quantify the inequalities in
adaptation between countries, regions, cities and social groups. More
information is available[ here.](https://www.isglobal.org/es/-/signs-of-early-
adaptation-to-climate-change)
We are seeking candidates in the following areas, whose main duties will be:
\- _Climate and environmental sciences_ : to analyse and interpret the outcome
of climate and air pollution models, and to perform predictability analyses to
explore the skill of health forecasts at daily, seasonal and climate change
timescales (e.g. see an example [here](https://www.heathealth.eu/)).
\- _Epidemiological modelling_ : to design and implement different techniques
to model the relationship between the daily health outcomes and the daily
environmental variables at different scales, including analyses at the
continental, national, regional and city levels.
- _Economy and social sciences_ : to describe the relationship between macroeconomic cycles and early adaptation to climate change, and to analyse the socioeconomic and demographic drivers of adaptation inequalities between countries, regions, cities and social groups.
\- _Software engineering_ : details of this position are separately provided
[here](https://www.isglobal.org/-/software-engineer-for-software-development-
and-database-design-creation-and-management).
All the researchers are expected to closely interact, and to expand their
research beyond the respective areas of expertise. In close collaboration with
the software engineer, they are all expected to contribute to the definition
of the database, the development of software tools, take the lead on data
analyses and publications, and contribute to the activities of the group and
institution.
As defined by the ERC founding scheme, EARLY-ADAPT is an innovative, purely
inter-disciplinary, high-risk/high-gain project, and therefore, the objectives
and methodologies might be somewhat dynamically re-defined during the course
of the project in order to continuously generate beyond state-of-the-art,
high-impact knowledge. As such, the project offers some degree of flexibility
to accommodate the interests and areas of expertise of the chosen candidates.
Within the general guidelines and main objectives of the project, we will
always favour the independent thinking of the researchers, the formulation of
frontier research hypotheses, and the exploration of innovative ideas and
methodologies spanning across disciplines.
The above-mentioned profiles correspond to the basic research pillars of the
project, but additional research lines will be considered if talented and
highly motivated researchers in other related disciplines decide to apply.
Particular interest is expressed for **big data, infectious diseases and
COVID-19.** |

IOC-21 PhD Scholarship in Mixed-Signal Design for Precision Circuits |
**IOC-21 PhD Scholarship in Mixed-Signal Design for Precision Circuits**
**Contract: Full Time/Fixed Term**
Microelectronic Circuits Centre Ireland (MCCI) is an EI / IDA technology
centre hosted at Tyndall National Institute. Its mission is to carry out
industry-led world-class Analog, Mixed-Signal and RF integrated circuit
research and to deliver trained people and IP to industry. MCCI is already
collaborating with 35 companies and many of the staff eventually transfer into
the thriving microelectronics industry in Ireland. MCCI targets real-life
applications with its research and currently has projects in diverse topics
such as DNA detection for food safety, next generation optical communications,
bio-sensing, imaging for security applications and early cancer detection.
As microelectronics chips are manufactured in ever smaller geometries the
performance of Analogue and Mixed-Signal circuits degrade while at the same
time digital logic becomes cheaper, smaller and lower power. Applications
associated with the Internet of Things is placing multiple challenges on the
Integrated Circuit Chips that are required to enable the next generation of
IoT applications.
Sampling aperture errors caused by jitter on the edges of the sampling clock
is a major performance limitation for Analogue to Digital converters both at
high speeds and at high precision. Applications such as Automotive Radar and
5G Cellular communications are limited by jitter. The requirement for sub 1ps
rms jitter or even 10fs rms jitter for the latest State of Art GHz ADCs puts
large demands on the clock source and clock buffers. The Clock source is
usually a Phase Locked loop (PLL) and this has high power consumption to meet
the tight precision specifications. This a large opportunity for innovative
solutions to make ADCs more robust to jitter errors to overcome this
performance and power limitation.
Please look at [www.mcci.ie ](https://www.mcci.ie/)for more information.
MCCI is opening up a number of PhD scholarship positions in the area of
Analogue Mixed-Signal Design for Precision Circuits: These will encompass a
number of areas including:
* Analogue to Digital Converters
* Sensor Interfaces
* Cryogenic Circuits
**Key Responsibilities**
* Carry out innovative research in Analogue Mixed-Signal IC Design, with a focus on taking advantage of deep-submicron CMOS technologies.
* Perform modelling and analysis on the limitations of existing solutions.
* Participate on research projects under the direction of a project team leader to design and develop new architectures and circuits in areas such as Data Converters, Precision Circuits, Sensor Interfaces and Cryogenic Circuits.
* With guidance, implement the solution on an integrated circuit. This may include system level simulation, algorithm development, schematic design, layout and validation of manufactured silicon.
* Work on collaborative research projects with MCCI industry partners.
* Engage in the dissemination of the results of the research, as directed by and with the support of senior MCCI research staff.
**Essential Criteria**
* The minimum academic qualification is a first or upper second class honours degree (or an equivalent international degree) in electrical engineering, electronic engineering, physics or related relevant discipline.
* The successful candidate will be highly innovative with a strong desire to create world-beating integrated circuits research for real-life applications.
* The successful candidate will be highly analytical with good interpersonal and organizational skills.
**Desirable Criteria**

Postdoctoral Fellow - Wearable Sensors for Detecting Cardiac Arrest |
**Term** : This is a 1-3 year, full time position.
**Salary** : $50,000 per year
**Start Date** : Negotiable
**Location** : Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute, UBC School of
Biomedical Engineering
**Academic Supervisor** Dr. Brian Grunau UBC Department of Emergency Medicine
**Summary of the project**
This project is an interdisciplinary effort led by Dr. Brian Grunau (UBC
Department of Emergency Medicine), Dr. Calvin Kuo (UBC School of Biomedical
Engineering) and Dr. Babak Shadgan (UBC School of Biomedical Engineering and
Department of Orthopaedics). The project is also in partnership with Centre
for Health Evaluation and Outcome Sciences (CHÉOS). This position will be
funded in part by a Mitacs Accelerate Grant.
Sudden cardiac arrest is an under-appreciated health crisis in Canada. Every
year Emergency Medical Services (EMS) respond to an estimated 38,000 Canadians
experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). However, even in the best systems,
only 5%‒7% of SCA cases with an EMS response survive to return home. When a
citizen collapses from SCA, it must be recognized before anyone can call 911
or bystanders can start CPR. In more than 75% of all SCAs, no one is there to
witness the event, so it may be minutes, hours or even days before the
emergency is identified. Technology could be harnessed to address these
substantial losses to life due to private location cardiac arrests, which
occur to approximately 28,000 Canadians per year.
This project aims to develop engineered sensor strategies to specifically
detect Sudden Cardiac Arrest and automatically call 9-1-1 with GPS
coordinates. This will eliminate unwitnessed (initially unrecognized) events
and will increase the chance of survival in the current treated but
“unwitnessed” group from 4% to an estimated 17%. As cases would not
immediately be deemed futile due to prolonged periods until recognition,
sensors could double the number of patients actually treated by paramedics.
This could increase the number of cardiac arrest survivors nationally from
2100 to 5500 per year.
**Required Qualifications and Experience**
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical
Engineering, or other related fields. Ideal candidates should have experience
working with wearable or implantable sensors designed to measure health
information and analyzing sensor data to predict health states. Qualified
individuals will have the following experience and skills:
1. Experience using machine learning, deep learning, or reinforcement learning to analyze sensor data.
2. Experience validating wearable and implantable sensor technologies and algorithms.
3. Ability to write structured code, basic scripting, run unit tests and debugging.
4. Ability to effectively use statistical software at an intermediate or higher level.
5. Ability to work effectively, independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
6. Ability to interact productively and professionally with a wide range of internal and external collaborators.
7. Strong organizational, time management, and project management skills.
**Additional desired qualifications:**
1. Knowledgeable in HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript and experience with traditional object-oriented languages (e.g., Java, .Net, Ruby, Python).
2. Experience working with PPG signals and vital signs, in particular cardiac signals.
3. Understanding body positioning sensors and GPS.
4. Familiarity with sensor PCB design and firmware programming
5. Experience managing studies deploying wearable and implantable sensors
6. Background and engineering knowledge and experience of near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS).
7. Background and knowledge in medical device design, manufacturing and certifications.
**Research Plan**
This position will implement the following research phases:
A. Identify the sensor detection parameters and functioning framework for what
a sensor must possess; identify a list of important specifications required
for sensor technology. Identify all potential usable commercially available or
in-development sensors. With a short-list of potential sensors, perform a
detailed assessment of whether these devices meet our specifications. With the
research team, determine if these available sensors which can be modified for
our study purposes.
B. Develop a biosensor that can effectively determine changes in vital signs,
in particular cessation of cardiac pulsation and arterial circulation. This
sensor may use hardware from an existing sensor (identified in phase A),
previous hardware developed in UBC, or new hardware created within this
project. Develop or modify previously created analysis software to monitor and
detect changes in vital signs using sensor data.
C. Test and modify sensor in clinical settings. Other members of the study
team will facilitate access and approval to work within these settings. Manage
a study where sensors are deployed in relevant clinical settings to assess
performance. This will include identifying suitable clinical settings where we
can potentially monitor vital sign and detect cessation of cardiac pulsation
and circulation, but also evaluate the performance of sensors in normal
activities to ensure robustness.
D. Integrate GPS and body positioning data into the biosensor to mark the
position and location of the user.
E. Wireless transmission of real-time vital sign, body position and GPS to a
cloud-based platform.

## **Project description:**
**The 3P-Medicine Laboratory** (personalized, preventive, precision) is a new
science center specializing in research on acquired genetic mutations as risk
factors for cancer and other diseases. Our center is focused on somatic
mutations that occur early in life in seemingly normal cells that eventually
contribute to malignant transformation. Primary interest is in common
malignancies that are etiologically related to environmental stimuli: breast
cancer, colorectal cancer, urinary bladder cancer and prostate cancer. The
ultimate goal is to develop genetic screening approach for non-hereditary
cancer risk assessment, years before first clinical symptoms become apparent.
Our unique collection of clinical samples includes not only primary and
metastatic tumors, but also multiple biopsies of macroscopically normal tissue
including frozen sections, peripheral blood, viable skin and stromal
fibroblasts as well as cryopreserved primary cell cultures.
## **Research Group Description:**
The Mieczkowski lab studies cells transitions, cell-cell communications and
chromatin transformations. A key focus is the use of computational and
experimental approaches to dissect, model, and interrogate the changes in
chromatin structure triggered by genetic modifications and/or extracellular
stimulations. The group pursues multi-disciplinary projects aiming to uncover
patterns in chromatin and gene expression profiles relating to cell state.
Members of the group will use state-of-the-art methodology to analyze
molecular profiles obtained with genotyping microarrays, massively parallel
sequencing of DNA (DNA methylation, ChIP, ATAC-seq etc.), bulk RNA- and single
cell RNA-seq, as well as spatial transcriptomics.
## **Key responsibilities include:**
1. Conducting scientific research and developing works commissioned by superiors.
2. Compliance with quality standards.

Two PhD Scholarships: Knowledge Representation and Reasoning |
[The AI Lab of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel](https://ai.vub.ac.be/) offers a
strong research environment spanning a wide range of research topics such as
reinforcement learning, game theory, natural language processing, evolution of
speech, computational creativity, and knowledge representation and reasoning.
The PhD student will join the research group of [Bart
Bogaerts](https://www.bartbogaerts.eu/), whose research focuses on various
aspects of knowledge representation and reasoning, including:
* The use of knowledge for solving problems declaratively
* Search and optimization techniques (SAT solving, pseudo-Boolean solving, constraint programming, logic programming, ... ), with a particular interest for symmetry handling and proof logging
* Explainability: how to explain (properties of) an obtained solution in a human-understandable way
* Mathematical foundations of knowledge representation, with a particular interest in mathematical theories to unify knowledge representation languages
Applications in any of the aforementioned topics are encouraged. It is a bonus
if the research interests relate to one of the following two recently granted
projects.
The first is the [the FRESCO project](https://ai.vub.ac.be/portfolio/fresco/),
which aims to develop explanation mechanisms for combiantorial search or
opitimization problems (for instance in the context of sat solving, constraint
solving, pseudo-boolean solving, ...). The goal of this project is to come up
with a framework that allows such solvers not just to find good solutions
quickly, but also to explain to their users why this is a good solution, why
it is the only solution, or why no solutions exist. Some preliminary work in
this direction can be found in [this
paper](http://bartbogaerts.eu/articles/future/005-Expl/Zebra-Journal.pdf) and
is summarized in [this
presentation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUR2JHC4en8). A particular long-
term interest is the question how these explanations can be used to improve
interactive configuration tools.
The second is [the AFTACK project](https://ai.vub.ac.be/portfolio/aftack/),
which aims to advance Approximation Fixpoint Theory (an algebraic, lattice-
theoretic, framework) on the one hand by extending the theoretical
foundations, and on the other hand by expanding the range of application
domains. In the current state, Approximation Fixpoint Theory (AFT) is an
algebraical unifying study of semantics of nonmonotonic logics, based on
lattice theory. It studies fixpoints of lattice operators by means of so-
called approximating operators. In preliminary research, we identified several
limitations of AFT specifically related to the types of approximations
allowed. We will investigate how these limitations can be lifted, to enable a
new, wide range of applications. Some potential application domains are
function definitions, causal modelling, revision programming, bound-founded
answer-set programming, abstract argumentation and multi-context systems. For
people wanting to familiarize themselves with AFT, a good place to start is
the first chapters of my [PhD
Dissertation](http://bartbogaerts.eu/articles/2015/005/PhD.pdf). |

2-year Postdoc on effect-directed analysis of micropollutants in water |
The Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering, Aarhus University,
invites applications for a 2-year postdoc position offering applicants an
exciting opportunity to join our research on effect-directed analysis of
micropollutants in wastewater.
The position will be open until a qualified candidate is found.
The currently known environmental micropollutants are generally responsible
for less than 1-5% of the total mixture toxicity in wastewaters. This project
aims at identifying the key toxicants in complex mixtures and assess their
removal in advanced water purification (bio)technologies.
For this, the project aims at developing an innovative technology for high
resolution screening of bioactive compounds (i.e. effect-directed analysis,
EDA) by developing a direct coupling between liquid chromatography – mass
spectrometry and planar bioassays (i.e. in vitro bioassays integrated with
TLC).
Specific tasks are:
* Development of a novel interface for printing µL-droplets of the eluent of liquid chromatography on TLC plates for planar bioassays
* Optimization and validation of the EDA approach for detecting biological effects based on liquid chromatography coupled with planar bioassays
* Identification of key pollutants causing the currently unattributed effects in wastewater before and after advanced water purification (bio)technologies
* Working in a team with external & international partners including research stays abroad
The project will be conducted in close collaboration with:
* Dr. Associate Prof. Jeroen Kool, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Development of LC-TLC interface
* Dr. Sebastian Buchinger, Federal Institute of Hydrology, Germany: Effect-based methods based on planar bioassays
* Prof. Jan H. Christensen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark: [https://plen.ku.dk/english/research/env_chem_phys/ac/research-projects/v...](https://plen.ku.dk/english/research/env_chem_phys/ac/research-projects/vandalf/)
There is considerable freedom to align the goals of the project with the goals
of the candidate. The candidate is therefore encouraged to describe research
ideas as part of the application (research proposal of max. 2 pages).
The position is funded by the Danish Research Foundation.
We offer a well-financed and unique research opportunity to conduct research
on effect-directed analysis of micropollutants in water at a high
international level. We encourage a research climate with lively, open and
critical discussion within and across different fields of research. We
guarantee access to well-developed research infrastructure including state-of-
the-art instrumentation for chemical analysis (UHPLC-HRMS). |

PhD | Influence of redox conditions and organic matter on the partitioning and
mobility of naturally occurring radionuclides (NOR‘s) in geothermal systems |
Deep geothermal energy is currently being investigated in many European
countries, including Belgium, as a promising renewable energy source for the
future. Geothermal energy plants rely on pumping up large amounts of deep hot
groundwaters and transferring these groundwaters through above-ground
facilities (such as heat exchangers, turbines or pumps) before reinjecting
them back to the geological layer from which they were extracted (closed-loop
configuration).
Previous and recent chemical and radiological analysis of these groundwaters
have however shown that, in order to guarantee long service life without
adversely affecting humans and the environment, such installations need to be
assessed both chemically and radiologically. Indeed, from a chemical point of
view, large quantities of dissolved salts, more specifically mainly NaCl, have
been found in many of these groundwaters with total dissolved solids (TDS)
ranging between ~100 to 270 g/L (Vandenberghe et al., 2000; Regenspurg et al.,
2010; Sanjuan et al., 2010). Radiologically, these groundwaters are
characterised by the presence of various naturally occurring radionuclides
(NOR’s) of the 238U, 232Th and 235U decay series. While radium (226Ra, 228Ra,
224Ra, 223Ra), radon (222Rn), and lead (210Pb, 212Pb) isotopes are rather
soluble in geothermal brines, the isotopes of uranium (238U, 234U, 235U),
thorium (232Th, 228Th, 230Th), polonium (210Po), and actinium (227Ac, 228Ac)
are characterized by low solubilities and are thus mostly immobile (Kölbel et
al., 2020). Relatively elevated concentrations of 226Ra (up to 120 Bq/L) and
228Ra (up to 10 Bq/L) have been described in waters produced from different
geothermal reservoirs (Vandenberghe et al., 2000; Vasile et al., 2016;
Degering and Köhler, 2015; Kölbel et al., 2020). During their flow from the
reservoir rocks up through the production well and surface installation, scale
formation has been observed due to the changing pressure and temperature, as
well as redox conditions. The observed scales comprise metal sulfides, iron
(oxi)hydroxides, sulphates (e.g. baryte, celestite), carbonates (e.g.
siderite, dolomite, calcite), and amorphous silca to name the predominant
ones. The co-existence of the previously mentioned phases and association with
different NOR’s clearly reflects that besides solubility, also the redox
conditions play an important role in the precipitation of the scales and most
likely also in the partitioning of the NOR’s. In this context, it should be
mentioned that also organic material has been described in different
geothermal systems being part of the scaling material or clogging deposits
(Pauwels et al., 2020; Andritsos et al., 2014; Gallup et al., 2005; Finster et
al., 2015; Sanjuan et al., 2010). The origin of organics present in the
geothermal waters may be of natural origin, i.e. released from the
reservoir/formation rocks and/or represents components or degradation products
of scale and corrosion inhibitors.
With respect to the characterization of scales formed in geothermal
installations, the focus until now has been mainly on the radioactivity
related to Ra-isotopes, as well as 210Pb and less to 210Po (Degering and
Köhler, 2015). Process understanding, to date, was mainly focused on these
radionuclides and less on 210Po. Lately, high amounts of 210Po were also
described to be present in scales of the Reykjanes geothermal system in SW-
Iceland (Borgeir, 2015), as well as in scales of the Balmatt system (Pauwels
et al., 2020). However, no information is available yet to explain its
fractionation and preferential accumulation/co-precipitation in scales
compared to its parent (226Ra). Also the role of organics playing in NOR
precipitation and fractionation is still poorly known.
Thus, in order to better understand the mobility of NOR’s in geothermal
systems and their partitioning during scale formation, the PhD project aims at
answering the following main research questions:
_1\. What is the influence of the redox conditions on the partitioning of the
radionuclides in scales formed in geothermal installations (focus on 210Pb and
210Po) ?_
_2\. To which extent may organic matter of natural and/or artificial origin
contribute to the accumulation and partitioning of NOR’s ? And if it plays a
role, is this also a redox related process ?_ |

Post doctoral position in Electrical Engineering: Microwave Resonator for
Securized Space Communication (R2CS2) |
**Post doctoral position**
Microwave Resonator for Securized Space Communication (R2CS2)
Deadline for application : as soon as possible in 2021, for 24 months
Keywords: Microwave filters and resonators, tuneability, Microwave systems
(transmitter/receiver - radar), digital communication …
Subject: The proposed post-doctoral position is on link to other current
projects of the team related to the design of microwave filters for space
and/or defense applications, carried on with the CNES and DGA. The goal is to
study in depth the behavior of SIR coaxial resonators, based on the nesting of
several TEM sections, coupled in head-to-tail arrangement. Extended to a large
number of sections, such a structures, offer many freedom degrees, very useful
for the design microwave filters but also for single resonators presenting
particular frequency behaviors. For a given fundamental frequency, the
diversity of the set of harmonics and transmission zeros allows to make each
resonator unique. This particularity, could be used in applications, for which
a level security is needed. Prior to the electromagnetic simulation, frequency
agility and power handling analyses, the theoretical description of the
resonator needs a very specific mathematical work, including matrix and
polynomial manipulations. Finally, through a Boolean representation of the
resonators, the integration in a digital system will be studied.
Host Laboratory Lab-STICC ()
The candidate will be integrated into an internationally-recognized dynamic
laboratory (gathering more than 85 staff members and 50 PhD and post-doctoral
students on the university place of the laboratory). The team focusing on

PhD in Chemical Science: "Single Pt atom on alumina for catalysis: eldorado or
persona non grata?" |
Process efficiency in the field of energy and biomass conversion is
contemporary and urgent societal issue. Heterogeneous catalysis is a key
enabling technology towards this goal. In that context, understanding them at
the molecular level while optimizing the use of rare and noble metal will
likely contribute to make processes more environmentally friendly, i.e. by
moving from supported nanoparticles to smaller clusters or isolated metal
sites. Recently, single atom catalysts, where atomically dispersed metal on
oxide supports are the proposed active sites under reaction conditions, are
proposed to enable with high activity, selectivity and stability for numerous
reactions. The enthusiasm for this topic coincides with the advances made in
the field of atomic-scale characterization techniques and molecular modeling.
However, the synthesis and the characterization of such materials remains a
grand challenge.
This project, at the frontier of molecular and material chemistry, aims at
controlling the generation of isolated Pt sites on alumina using the tools of
Surface Organometallic Chemistry (SOMC) and to study their behavior under a
broad range of reaction conditions used in catalytic processes by combining
advanced synthetic, spectroscopic and microscopy methods augmented by
molecular modeling. |

PhD - Effects of hydrogen addition on soot formation in flames: experimental
investigation by laser imaging |
The health effects of fine, non-volatile particulate matter, and precursor
aromatic species, generated by engines and furnaces are increasingly well
known and have been the subject of considerable public interest in recent
years. Likewise, there is increasing awareness of the potential role of
particulate emissions in influencing climate change. Perhaps surprisingly, the
mechanisms underlying the formation of soot are not currently well understood.
The effect of hydrogen on soot formation is a focus of attention for this
project since some fuel-flexible future energy strategies involve blending
hydrogen with conventional fuel such as natural gas (or biogas). This
necessitates control of emissions of soot and aromatics for fuel blends.
Understanding the effect of hydrogen addition may also help to elucidate the
underlying mechanisms of soot formation more generally. The technique to be
used, laser-induced incandescence (LII), involves heating the soot in a flame
or exhaust using a short-pulse laser and imaging the resulting emissions using
a short-gated ICCD. The complementary technique of laser-induced fluorescence
(LIF) will be used for imaging of aromatic species, temperature, and other
intermediate species radicals. The requested studentship is related the LITECS
EPSRC Programme Grant. Our role in LITECS is in underpinning the development
of measurement systems for particulate imaging in industrial gas turbine
combustor test rigs.
In addition to undertaking cutting edge research, students are also registered
for the Postgraduate Certificate in Researcher Development (PGCert), which is
a supplementary qualification that develops a student’s skills, networks and
career prospects.

PhD - ‘Tense’ solid oxide cells – boosting clean energy conversion through
nanoscale strain |
Successful transition from a fossil fuel based economy to a net-zero-emissions
one based on renewables critically depends on the ability to store renewable
energy and release it on demand. Solid oxide cells (SOCs) are such a core
technology that can reversibly store renewable electricity into fuels suitable
for long-range transportation, aviation and large-scale energy storage. Most
importantly, SOCs can be used to produce clean power from fuels such as
hydrogen (fuel cell mode), or, when operated in reverse, to convert power into
hydrogen, or even into other synthetic fuel precursors by utilizing carbon
dioxide (electrolysis mode).
As SOCs become increasingly more used, they also need to operate more
efficiently and be more cost-effective and scalable. Since SOCs are built
based on materials that combine good electronic and ionic conductivity with
catalytic activity, advances in SOC technology have largely been driven by the
quest to identify durable materials with increasingly higher conductivities.
Typically this has been achieved by changing the crystal structure and
chemistry of the materials. Alternative approaches based on physical, rather
than chemical alterations are hugely promising, but require complex equipment
to realize and are not particularly scalable. A key example is strain, or the
‘tensing’ of material’s crystal structure which is introduced by depositing
the material on a substrate with different crystal structure dimensions, thus
artificially expanding or contracting the unit cell. Strain can be a
remarkably powerful tool to tune materials and boost their performance: ~2% of
expansive strain creates additional free space for ions to diffuse, boosting
ionic conductivity by 2-3 fold, which is equivalent to 20% mol doping4,
compressive strain brings atoms together, increasing orbital overlap and
creating ‘highways’ for electron transport, thus increasing electronic
conductivity and finally lowers useful conduction temperatures preventing
degradation. In spite of these advantages, the application of strain and
materials ‘tensing’ is limited to the production method described above and
thus to thin films, which are two-dimensional systems (2D). For many
applications and devices, three-dimensional (3D) structures are routinely
required.
This PhD investigates a new approach to unlock strain within materials, in 3D,
by nucleating ‘a cloud’ of nanoparticles within them, at nanoscale proximity
of each other, creating 3D-‘tense’ materials and energy conversion devices.
The project will use state of the art facilities to measure electronic and
ionic transport properties, prepare and characterize materials and test them
for power generation from hydrogen (power production), hydrogen production
from steam (energy storage), as well as carbon dioxide and steam co-
electrolysis to syngas, a key synthetic fuel/chemicals precursor (power-to-
chemicals) as well as benchmark against equivalent state-of-the-art systems.

3D Lightfield Measurement Technique for Spray Applications |
The aim of this PhD is to develop a 3D measurement technique applied to spray
dispersion (fuel droplets or droplets expelled from a sneeze). The technique
is based on light field imaging (plenoptic camera). Plenoptic cameras capture
the light field by recording the intensity, position and orientation of rays.
The information on the orientation of the rays allows to get 3D information
from a juxtaposition of 2D information captured by a high-resolution sensor.
Sub-pixel morphological analysis tools developed by the team will be exploited
to refine the 3D characterization of gas-liquid interfaces.
The elements for the modelling of the 3D metrology (optical field recording)
in its application to sprays will be first implemented numerically and then
experimentally. The plenoptic camera will use a lens, a high-definition sensor
and a network of micro lenses.
The mid-term perspective of this development is to propose an experimental
alternative to the CFD approach for the characterization of primary
atomization. The application to sprays will open up a wide range of
perspectives, through the contribution that this 3D information represents,
both for the understanding and modeling of atomization processes and for their
practical analysis. A recent example concerns the dispersion of droplets from
the human body to understand the key elements driving the spread of
infections. |

Mechanical/Electrochemical couplings in Li-ion batteries with composite Si/C
electrodes |
The last generation of anode for lithium-ion batteries are using silicon-
graphite composite materials, for storing the lithium when charged. The
composite is made of active material grains, glued together with a polymer
binder. Those materials have the capacity to store important quantities of
lithium, but at the cost of major volumetric swelling (up to 400% for
silicon), which can potentially compromise the mechanical integrity and
electrochemical performance of the system, at several levels (induced stress
that damage components, loss of capacity due to material damage or porosity
collapse).
The subject of the PhD work will be the modelling and understanding of
couplings, between material dilatation, mechanical damage, and electro-
chemistry, from the electrode scale to the cell level. More precisely, the
student will develop a micromechanical model of the negative electrode
behaviour (dilation, and porosity evolution, damage generation) based on an
original experimentation fit for purpose, to generate relevant data to be fed
to battery models developed at IFPEN.
For that objective, the student will work along three strong axis : (a)
Macroscopic behaviour (capacity evolution and state of charge, expansion) of
model batteries, for a variety of cycling conditions. (b) Imagery on
electrodes, in order to visualize mechanical evolutions in the material. Two
methods are under consideration : X-ray tomography for observing the dilation
and porosity evolution, FIB-SEM for detailed imaging of damage in the polymer
binder. (c) Numerical modelling of the mechanical behaviour (using FEM or DEM
simulation). Models are going to be generated from imagery data, and relevant
information is going to be extracted to feed higher level battery models. |

PhD position at IFP Energies nouvelles in Statistics and Optimization |
**Sensitivity analysis for optimization problems under uncertainties**
Among IFPEN applications, finding the optimal configuration of the inputs of a
model leading to the best admissible performance appears in the design of
complex systems such as electric motors or floating wind turbines. Among the
numerous inputs of this problem, a certain number is defined as uncertain or
random, such as wind information or the characteristics of a material that is
poorly controlled and subject to a certain tolerance.
This problem is formally translated as a constrained optimization problem with
two types of variables: controllable design variables and random variables.
Some constraints correspond to the feasible failure probability for the system
to be designed.
Typically, these applications incorporate a large number of inputs that make
the resolution of this problem non-trivial especially in the context of
optimization coupled with computationally expensive simulators. In order to
overcome this complexity, the classic strategy is to return to simpler models
by reducing the size of the inputs. We focus on the sensitivity analysis
method that characterizes the global influence of an input parameter on the
variability of a certain quantity of interest of the outputs.
The objective of this thesis is to develop methods to identify the influential
variables with respect to the considered problem, namely which are the
controlled inputs that have a measurable impact on the performance of our
model (relevant values of the cost function) but also those that lead to
respect the constraints in a reliable way. In the same way, it seems relevant
to be able to discriminate which are the random inputs that do not negatively
impact the robustness or the obtaining of an optimal solution in order to
simplify the initial problem.
Keywords: sensitivity analysis, optimization under uncertainties, robust
problems

5 Marie Curie European Industrial Doctorate PhD fellowships for Early Stage
Researchers EID Project COMPETE |
Applications are welcome for an opening of 5 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to
carry out PhD theses as part of the Marie Slodowska-Curie European Industrial
Doctorate (EID) “COMPETE” (COMPutationally empowered Electromagnetic
industrial TalEnts), leveraging on a partnership between the Politecnico di
Torino (Italy) and Thales DMS France (Defence Mission Systems).
We offer 5 full-time Marie Curie scholarships for a period of 36 months with
high perspectives in both academic and industrial areas.
## The Marie Curie project COMPETE:
This project is meant to be a highly innovative and multi-sectorial research
and training program, which will nurture a new generation of electromagnetic
modelers, designers and innovators in the field of the advanced
electromagnetics industry. COMPETE will prepare them to the present-challenges
of the field by providing a solid theoretical knowledge in Computational
Electromagnetics (CEM), together with a competitive and on-the-field training
in computationally empowered industrial processes.
In particular, the R&T programme will focus on innovative strategies in
industrial modelling to produce:
* new paradigms in moderate, low, and extremely low-frequency modelling for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) industrial applications
* complementary techniques to handle moderate, high, and extremely high-frequency modelling for large scale scattering and industrial design
* new approaches to time and frequency domain modelling of impedance surface for radiation and scattering of impedance boundary condition (IBC) industrial devices
These efforts will address the three main needs and challenges in industrial
modelling in advanced electromagnetics: multi-frequency problems, multiscale
simulations and complex boundary scenarios.
### List of available PhD / ESR positions
ESR 1
**New paradigms in moderate, low, and extremely low-frequency modelling for
impacting industrial applications.**
Objectives: Several application scenarios of high industrial impact, including
the modelling and design of high-speed circuitry and moderate to low frequency
devices is fundamentally important challenge in advanced electromagnetics
industry. In fact, if the frequency of operation in these scenarios is too
high to leverage on quasi-static solvers, it is still low enough for breaking
the majority of available simulation packages. The problem becomes even more
challenging in the presence of spatially multiscale geometries where regions
of very fine details cohabit with large surfaces and reflectors. In this
scenario eddy current formulations are very popular although often limited in
applicability both as pertains physics and frequency band. This individual
project will tackle this problem by proposing a new family of low-frequency
solvers which will be able to continuously enable predictions from extremely
low frequency scenarios till the middle frequency range.
Expected Results: 1) An innovative framework for the assessment of
electromagnetic compatibility and interference phenomena within both spatial
and frequency multi-scale environments which will be faster, more reliable and
robust than the currently available ones. 2) The new modelling environments
will provide a novel way of handling multiscale elements and several cycles in
geometries, resulting in a substantially larger impact of modelling and
simulation strategies in industrially relevant scenarios. 3) The new
technology will be interfaced with the other modelling related technologies
developed in the ITN-EID network.
ESR 2
**New paradigms in moderate, high, and extremely high-frequency modelling for
large scale scattering and industrial design**
Objectives: This individual project will address the modelling in the moderate
to high frequency regime for extremely multiscale scenarios including
platforms and circuitry installed in several wavelengths’ long structures. The
project will investigate both forward and inverse approaches impacting a
variety of applications of high industrial interest. This is an ambitious
project that will combine the standard benefits of other integral formulations
to the possibility of being fully compatible with multiscale regularizers such
as hierarchical or high frequency multiplicative regularization schemes.
Expected Results: 1) An innovative high frequency modelling intrinsically
suited for multiscale industrial needs and study settings 2) An accelerated
platform which will speed up both the technology in 1) and the schemes
obtained within the ITN-EID network. 3) Benchmarking and application on
cutting edge industrial scenarios of high impact.
ESR 3
**New paradigms in modelling of impedance and meta-surfaces for radiation and
scattering for next generation industrial application**
Objectives: Impedance surface condition are an extremely effective tool to
model and predict the behavior of devices involving electromagnetic
metamaterial, impedance and shielding surfaces as well as cloaking structures.
Impedance boundary conditions are often at the center of industrial simulators
used in the design and prototyping of multiscale antenna systems mounted on
ships or aircrafts as well as their surrounding and reflecting elements.
Standard methods present several drawbacks in modelling stability, frequency
conditioning, and precision, together with the often ill-posed behavior
resulting in long and unstable simulations that are seldom acceptable in a
high-level industrial setting. In this project we will investigate a new
strategy to model impedance surfaces and associated devices. This project will
attain very ambitious targets including new frameworks and extended IBC
conditions and advanced metasurfaces synthesis strategies. The work will start
with an investigation of new end extended IBCs for the new generation of
advanced materials and surfaces of industrial interest. Then it will
investigate advanced regularizations and computational speed ups, this will
ensure substantial impact of any associated industrial design process. A final
phase will include a collaborative hybridization with the other research axes
of the ITN-EID network.
Expected Results: 1) A new approach to the modelling of IBC surfaces which
will be faster and more reliable than currently available approaches 2) An
hybrid design platform including optimization within and outside the impedance
conditions with unequalled rates of convergence and robustness from the point
of view of industrial processes. 3) At least Two papers submitted to the
leading journals in the field of antenna, scattering and computational
physics.
ESR 4
**Advancement of state of the art of optimization, sensibility, and
uncertainty quantification empowered by innovative computational techniques of
industrial relevance**
Objectives: EM sources, large scattering surfaces, small circuitry elements as
well as well shapes affect variably the overall final result of an industrial
design process and, at the same time are affected by uncertainties and
variabilities, It is therefore fundamental to assess on one the one hand the
impact of variable material, products, and sub-devices variability on the
final figures of merits, this to properly tune the investments in the
limitation of such variability. On the other hand the overall results need to
be computed within safety thresholds which must be estimated with the highest
precision possible by the current modelling and design technology. Although
the state of the art in this field has achieved several remarkable results in
these areas, the level of complexity of the assessments is limited firstly by
forward complexity and secondly by the large dimensionality of the relevant
degrees of freedom. This individual project will tackle this challenge by
investigating an accelerated procedure to obtain forward points of assessment
to be used to compute unequally complex sensitivity figure of merit functions.
The same framework will be then extended to obtain multi-parameter transfer
functions that will lead to uncertainty quantification paradigms which will
run several orders of magnitude faster than those available today. The
objectives of this individual project will include 1) Investigate multivariate
methods applicable to the computational methods investigated in the network.
Develop new approaches for baseline optimization and compression based on
multidimensional data structures. 2) Investigate advanced models and
variabilities from the relevant degrees of freedom for relevant application
scenarios within uncertainty quantification frameworks. 3) Hybridizations
other technologies within the ITN-EID network.
Expected Results: 1) An innovative framework for the propagation error in the
forward (uncertainties) and backward (sensitivity) directions in several
scenarios of industrial interest. 2) An innovative framework to perform the
sensitivity analysis for dependent structure 3) Implement these approaches
hybridized with the other contributions of the network.
ESR 5
**New paradigms in computationally empowered machine learning for industrial
EM design and assessments**
Objectives: The design of electromagnetic structures – sensors, filters,
frequency-selective surfaces, metamaterials – is a critical industrial issue,
especially when they have to meet specifications that are apparently
contradictory. The behaviour of such structures is usually difficult to
comprehend: the complex design (e.g. closed-vicinity dielectric surfaces, both
standard and impedance ones, of various shapes, electrical impacts, cavities)
lead to possibly resonant responses. On the one hand, reverse modelling
techniques are consequently intensively exploited to efficiently design such
structures.
On the other side, the validation of simulation models needs to be performed,
considering reverse image extraction procedures on several types of canonical
and real case scenarios. Standard design strategies have been leveraging
optimizers and pre-run time design schemes. The results of these approaches
can be satisfactory in several situations, but it often fails in the most
complicate scenarios. The approach explored by this individual project will be
different and based on a dynamic design and optimization framework leveraging
statistical and deep learning paradigms. This will be obtained by proper
modification of the EM formulations at the analytic level, followed by a
suited algorithmic matching and discretization. This paradigm will be oriented
and benchmarked on the design of several relevant application scenarios of key
industrial interest.
Expected Results: 1) Innovative imaging systems for EM imaging and other bio-
applications 2) Innovative solutions for calibration and associated
compensation techniques on multi-sensors imaging systems 3) Experiments and
data collection for the Computational Science & Engineering Community. |

Impact of new cancer therapies on cognitive functions |
Post-doctoral subject « Cognition and new cancer therapies »
_Title_
Impact of new cancer therapies on cognitive functions
_Scientific fields_
Clinical research, public health, neuropsychology, human and social sciences
_Keywords_
Cancer, cognition, cognitive complaints, new generation of hormone therapies,
immunotherapy, proton therapy, longitudinal studies, quality of life
_Description of the project_
Diagnostic and therapeutic advances in the field of cancer have considerably
increased the chances of survival and the lifespan of patients, even in
metastatic situations. New modalities of radiotherapy as well as new
generation hormone therapies, targeted therapies and immunotherapy treatments
are currently being proposed. These treatments are often delivered over a long
period of time with specific toxicity profiles. Among these side effects,
cognitive difficulties, such as alterations in memory, attention, executive
functions and speed of treatment, are frequently reported by patients and
constitute a major issue in terms of quality of life. These symptoms have been
well documented after chemotherapy (notion of "chemofog") and conventional
radiotherapy (including panencephalic in the case of the central nervous
system). Nevertheless, while some preliminary work suggests the impact of new
cancer therapies on cognition, further studies are needed to better understand
these side effects.
The programme in which the post-doctoral fellow’s work is integrated aims to
evaluate the impact of new cancer therapies, and more specifically new
generation hormone therapies for metastatic prostate cancer, immunotherapies
and new modalities of cerebral radiotherapy (stereotactic radiotherapy/proton
therapy/hadron therapy, particularly for slow-growing brain tumours), on the
cognitive functions of cancer patients - corresponding to ongoing studies:
Cog-Pro studies for new generation hormone therapies, Cog-Immuno for
immunotherapy treatments, Cancer-Cog/Cog-Proton for innovative radiotherapy.
Thus, evaluating the impact of these new cancer therapeutic strategies on
cognitive functions will notably enable us to identify populations of patients
at risk and offer them appropriate solutions to improve their quality of life.

PhD position : Integrated experimental study of the impact of alteration on
rock hydromechanical properties |
In collaboration with Ecole Normale supérieure (Prof J Fortin)
Integrated experimental study of the impact of alteration on rock
hydromechanical properties
Fluid-rock interactions play a key part in the evolution of our environment.
They notably influence karst development, rock weathering and thus continental
erosion, as well as coastal cliff retreat caused by water infiltration… These
processes depend on climate conditions and the assessment of the impact of
climate change on vulnerable areas will require considering the corresponding
thermo-hydromechanical and chemical couplings.
Reactive transport modeling has undergone significant developments in the last
two decades. However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of the
coupling with the deformations of the porous medium and of the impact on its
hydromechanical properties. Integrating fluid-rock interactions in predictive
large-scale models hence requires a better knowledge of the impact of reactive
transport at the microstructure scale where the various processes occur. Most
experimental studies focus on the evolution of porosity and permeability and
few of them address the impact of flow conditions on mechanical properties
(elastic moduli, acoustic velocities, failure strength).
The objective of this PhD is to develop an integrated experimental approach to
study the impact of reactive transport on the porous structure and the
hydromechanical properties of rocks. Various carbonate rocks (by nature highly
reactive) showing different microstructures will be considered. Fractured
samples will also be tested to address the key part of fractures-matrix
interactions. Once validated the defined approach can be applied to any rock
formation subjected to various reactive flow conditions and used to constrain
chemo-hydro-mechanical models. |

Postdoctoral Fellow (single cell transcriptomics in liver disease) |
### We are looking for Postdoctoral researchers to work in the [Padmanabhan
group ](http://igfl.ens-lyon.fr/equipes/k-padmanabhan-molecular-and-
epigenetic-regulation-of-biological-clocks)at the Institute for Functional
Genomics (IGFL) at ENS Lyon. **The position is for 1 year, renewable for the
duration of the project (4 years).**
The [Molecular regulation of biological rhythms laboratory](http://igfl.ens-
lyon.fr/equipes/k-padmanabhan-molecular-and-epigenetic-regulation-of-
biological-clocks) (headed by [Kiran
Padmanabhan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kiran-padmanabhan-4b3aa515/)) is
hosted at the Institute Genomique Fonctionnelle de Lyon (IGFL). The IGFL is
part of the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon, Lyon France and is located in
Gerland campus. Projects in the team frequently combine traditional
biochemistry and molecular biology techniques (CoIP, Mass-spec) with Illumina
sequencing methods such as ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, and more recently Oxford
Nanopore based transcriptomic analyses.
Since 2018, we started collaborating with physicist-engineers at the [CEA,LETI
](https://www.linkedin.com/in/c%C3%A9dric-allier-3a77796/)in Grenoble on lens-
free image based realtime analysis of cell behavior. In 2021, as part of a
larger consortium led by the CEA, we have been funded by a Horizon2020 call on
Biophotonics. The program is aimed at building a next-generation biophotonics
device that merges real-time lens-free holographic imaging with omics data to
generate data-rich images. This ambitious program ([project
REVEAL](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101016726)) includes 5 research
groups and 2 SMEs spread out over 4 EU countries. The research groups include
physicists and engineers at the CEA Grenoble (Cedric Allier, project
coordinator) and WUT Poland (Malgorzata Kujawinska), molecular biologists at
LMU Munich (Maria Robles) and ENS Lyon (Kiran Padmanabhan) and clinicians at
the Policlinico Milano (Luca Valenti). The SME's include Iprasense (France)
and ALS (Germany).
The primary aim of the postdoctoral researcher at the IGFL will be to
characterize the cellular heterogeneity (and molecular underpinnings) that
underlies the transition from metabolic liver disease to tumors. Primary or
derived cell lines obtained from laboratory mouse models of metabolic liver
disease as well lines derived from clinical liver biopsies sampled from
patients with dysmetabolism and cancer ( from our collaborator in Milan) will
be used by the candidate during the study.
At the IGFL, biological samples (2D and 3D cultures and tissues) will be
analyzed by the postdoc using transcriptomics (bulk, single-cell and spatial
transcriptomic) and proteomics to characterize the populations of cells, to
identify molecular pathways controlling their self-renewal capacities in 2D/3D
culture conditions. Cells will be imaged in parallel in realtime using new
lensfree devices. Integration of the Omics data (with collaborators at other
sites) will be used to develop and eventually test an AI-based microscope that
uses data-enriched images of biological samples for decision making and action
(pick up for culture/bio-analysis/deeper imaging). |

Identification and study of descriptors of boehmite paste kneading for
innovative solids conception |
The control of alumina support textural properties is a very important task in
the framework of innovative catalytic material manufacturing. Mass transport
in the porous medium is strongly affected by the microstructure and could
decrease the impregnation efficiency of the active phase and the resulting
catalytic activity. Alumina support is constituted of elementary crystals (a
few Å) formed during the precipitation step, that stick together to form
aggregates (a few nm). These clusters can stick together to form agglomerates
(from 100 nm to 1 μm average size).The resulting assembly constitutes the
overall porous complex network which combines different spatial scales and
leads to a wide distribution of pores diameter. Support manufacturing
procedure consists in many unit operations starting form a colloidal
suspension to a final shaped solid particle (scale: mm). Among them, kneading
(or paste mixing) has a high impact on the final textural properties. One of
the main issue is to control this process: coupling of physicochemical,
rheological and hydrodynamic phenomena in the kneader makes it difficult to
optimize the operating conditions, to scaleup the process or to change the
technology. In order to go further than the empirical rules, the objective of
this PhD’s work is to model the involved phenomena (aggregates cracking and
agglomeration, rheological behavior, …) and to validate them thanks to
dedicated experimentation and characterization (DRX, N2 and Hg porosimetry,
MET, SAXS, DLS, rheology, …). Then, the resulting elementary bricks will be
put together in a complex flow in order to simulate a kneader. A comparison
between the coupled model and the experimental results obtained on the kneader
will validate this multi-scale approach. This PhD’s work will contribute to a
bigger goal: developing a kneader simulator. It will predict the textural
properties of the catalytic support as a function of operating conditions and
boehmite properties. This simulator will be used to find technological and
operating innovation ideas and to develop new alumina catalytic support. |

PhD - Design of sustainable biocomposites |
Plastic waste has a hugely detrimental impact on the environment and there is
mounting pressure on industry to replace traditional polluting petrochemical
polymers with sustainably-sourced biopolymers. However, for many applications,
sustainably-sourced polymers do not yet reach the performance of oil-derived
polymers. The performance of polymers can be improved by the addition of
filler particles to form a composite material. The fillers are usually coated
with a coupling agent, to help disperse the filler and make the polymer easier
to process. While the nature of the polymer-filler interface plays an
important role in the overall composite properties, the interface properties
are often overlooked, due to the fact that it is challenging to characterise
the interface experimentally. Molecular simulations can provide valuable
insight into the interface structure and dynamics and predict how the
composite performance depends on the interface properties.This project aims to
use molecular dynamics simulations to understand how the interaction between
filler, coupling agent and polymer influence the composite properties.
In addition to undertaking cutting edge research, students are also registered
for the Postgraduate Certificate in Researcher Development (PGCert), which is
a supplementary qualification that develops a student’s skills, networks and
career prospects.

15 PhD positions in Marie Sklodowska Curie ITN “Nanoparticle-based imaging and
therapy of chronic pain in the dorsal root ganglia”(PIANO) |
**15 PhD Positions**
are available within the
EU-funded Marie Skłodowska Curie Innovative Training Network on
**NANOPARTICLE-BASED IMAGING AND THERAPY OF CHRONIC PAIN IN THE DORSAL ROOT
GANGLIA (PIANO)**
**Project Description**
Chronic pain is a debilitating disease that affects approximately 1.5 billion
people worldwide, and of those approximately 4% suffer from neuropathic pain.
Neuropathic pain is often the result of nerve damage or a malfunctioning
nervous system. It is described as a shooting or burning sensation that can
come and then disappear, but it may also become chronic such that the pain
becomes unrelenting and severe. Of equal note is the impact of chronic pain
upon society as the costs related to disability allowance, treatment, lost
wages and productivity impact the economy. Since current treatments for
chronic pain are not entirely reliable, a better understanding of the
mechanisms underlying chronic pain will provide new targets for analgesia.
The PIANO Network aims to develop tools to identify and visualise mechanisms
of nociception in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG), outside the central nervous
system (CNS). The DRG contain the cell bodies of specialised neurones that
detect harmful stimuli in the periphery of the body and transmit noxious
signalling to the spinal cord in the CNS.
We propose that local and targeted interventions at the level of the DRG will
provide an opportunity to circumvent CNS-related side effects and optimise
analgesic therapy. In models of neuropathic pain, we aim to identify the DRG
involved in noxious signalling by visualising cells or molecules in the DRG
which are directly or indirectly associated with the transmission of pain.
We will use novel methodologies based on nanoparticles targeted delivery to
pain-related cells and molecules in the DRG. A good number of studies have
shown a significant infiltration of macrophages into relevant DRG under
neuropathic pain conditions. PIANO’s nanoparticles will be specifically
designed to target the macrophages in the DRG, encapsulating both therapeutic
payloads and imaging contrast reagents to monitor pain-driven activities.
**Project Objectives**
To devise a state-of-the art approach for the visualisation of neuropathic
pain/inflammation mechanisms in the DRG, and
To deliver analgesic molecules with the aid of nanoparticles.
**JOB OFFERS DETAILS**
We will provide a structured 3-year cutting-edge PhD training programme in and
beyond the fields of neuropathic pain and its biological basis, biomaterials,
chemistry, nanoparticles and imaging.
The earliest starting date will be March 2nd, 2021. The latest will be March
1st, 2022.
We are looking for highly motivated and talented PhD students holding a
Master's degree or Bachelor's degree (UK) in scientific fields like biology,
chemistry or physics. Excellent command of spoken and written English,
communication skills as well as team spirit are essential. We are offering a
competitive, interdisciplinary environment with a track record of intense
mutual collaboration. In addition to the individual training-through-research
our programme includes further elements such as workshops, summer schools,
internships and secondments to the partners’ laboratories.
The following eligibility rules apply for participation in a Marie Skłodowska
Curie Innovative Training Network:
Applicants must be in the first 4 years after obtaining their Master´s degree
and/or Bachelor’s degree and must not have resided or carried out their main
activity (work, studies, etc.) in the host country for more than 12 months in
the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date. In addition, local
regulations of the host countries may apply. The salary is based on standard
living, mobility and family allowances which are adapted to the respective
country of recruitment.
**AVAILABLE POSITIONS**
**ESR 1 - The preparation, characterisation and testing of different
biomaterials**
* **Host:** UNIVERSITA' DEGLI STUDI DI CAMERINO (IT)
* **Supervisor:** Piera Di Martino
**Objectives:** to prepare and test different nanoparticle technology formats
for imaging, accommodating payloads, and specific targeting of pain-associated
cells or molecules in DRG. We aim to control the particle size and drug
content by taking four independent processing parameters and two
characteristics of the material into account. The interdependencies between
processing, material parameters, and the subsequent nanoparticle
characteristics will be optimised to allow efficient production of drug-loaded
polymer nanoparticles. This level of understanding should rapidly assist the
project to have protocols for the production of optimal PLGA nanoparticles in
place.
To apply for ESR1 position, please submit your application at
** **\- **deadline 28.06.2021** and send copy of the
application to **[jobs@piano-diagnostic.eu](mailto:jobs@piano-diagnostic.eu)**
**_NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE_ \- ESR 2 - Selection and production of the
biomaterial format and then their functionalisation as nanoparticles **
* **Host:** ACADEMISCH ZIEKENHUIS LEIDEN (NL)
* **Supervisor:** Luis Javier Cruz Ricondo
**Objectives** : to optimise the surface chemistry of the anoparticles so that
they may be both functionalised to target macrophages and visible for
molecular in vivo imaging. After the nanoparticles were prepared, the efficacy
of the targeting nanoparticles towards macrophages will be tested and we will
measure several characteristics by means of in vitro studies, in order to
validate their function, stability, and specificity towards our target. After
the nanoparticles are characterised for size and surface potential, we will
determine whether enough contrast agent is loaded into the nanoparticles by
measuring the NIRF signal with the Odyssey Clx infrared imaging system.
Subsequently, we will test the uptake of the nanoparticles by macrophages by
measuring the NIRF signal. We will administer different concentrations of
nanoparticle on RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages for this experiment and confirm
intracellular localisation of our nanoparticles by using confocal microscopy.
**_NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE-_ ESR 3 - Hydrogel patches for pain relief drug
delivery**
* **Host:** POLYPURE AS (NO)
* **Supervisor:** Erik Agner
**Objectives** : to develop hydrogel patches, where the addition of PEG to the
nanoparticle surface, i.e. PEGylation, has the impact/effect to make
biomaterials more compliant for in vivo use. Also, we will look to making a
PEG hydrogel patch, which is robust enough for therapeutic use but at the same
time, being biodegradable when disposed of.
**_NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE_ \- ESR 4 - Neurosurgery and tissue co-culture
maintenance of DRG and associated cells**
* **Host:** ACADEMISCH ZIEKENHUIS LEIDEN (NL)
* **Supervisor:** Luis Javier Cruz Ricondo
**Objectives:** to isolate DRG neurons using a simplified protocol to
facilitate rapid dissection of up to 40 individual DRG, complete within 20–30
min, followed by enzyme treatment or fixation. To support the project with
provision of more tissues and cells, we will initiate DRG neurons to be used
in creating an in vitro system. SCs, are important for their interactions with
DRG neurons, where direct contact with DRG neurons provides additional stimuli
sensed by specific membrane receptors, further improving the neuronal
response. Furthermore, SCs release growth factors and proteins in the culture
medium, which enhance neuron survival and stimulate growth and differentiation
of neurites. However, SCs need a long time for proliferation, during which DRG
neurons ultimately lose their function. The differentiation of ASCs into a SC-
like phenotype provides a valid alternative to using SCs for the creation of
an in vitro system, where we aim to initiate a SC-like ASC/DRG co-culture
system. The present work will involve setting up of a protocol to harvest both
DRG neurons and ASCs from adult rats. We will differentiate ASCs towards a SC
phenotype and then combine the two cell types (DRG/ASC) in a direct co-culture
system to investigate the interplay between neurons and SCs, which can then be
used for downstream analyses, immunohistochemistry, and RNA profiling.
**ESR 5 - Neuroregeneration and Neurotransplantation**
* **Host:** UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI CAMERINO (IT)
* **Supervisor:** Piera Di Martino
**Objectives:** to develop genetic modification technology and tools
(transgenic mice, knock-out mice, and replication-defective viral vectors)
with the long-term goal to promote functional neuroregeneration of injured
spinal cord tracts. Protocols will be developed where in vivo gene transfer
technology is employed to modulate the response of neurons and glia cells to
injury to provide new insights into the molecular and cellular mechanisms that
promote and/or inhibit neuroregeneration.

** **\- **deadline 28.06.2021** and send copy of the
application to **[jobs@piano-diagnostic.eu](mailto:jobs@piano-diagnostic.eu)**
**ESR 6 - GABAergic signalling in peripheral sensory ganglia and its role in
pain processing**
* **Host:** UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS (UK)
* **Supervisor:** Nikita Gamper
**Objectives:** It has been shown that cell bodies of sensory neurons,
including nociceptors, express multiple receptors for classical
neurotransmitters, such as nAChRs, 5-HT3, glutamate, and GABA receptors.
However, there is no coherent theory for why these receptors are present in
sensory neuron somata, what are (if any) the sources of neurotransmitters that
activate these receptors, and what physiological role the activation of these
receptors may play in sensory signalling. The task of ESR6 is to establish
which types of DRG neurons release GABA and which are responding to GABA
release. The host lab has recently established that a subpopulation of DRG
neurons is GABAergic and that ganglionic GABA release is analgesic. Sensory
ganglia contain a heterogeneous population of neurons responding to various
painful and non-painful stimuli. The PNS can alter information sent to the
brain via a fully functional local GABAergic transmission system within the
DRG, which is still poorly understood.
**_NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE-_ ESR7 - The gating mechanism of TRPV2: a quest
towards effective modulators**
* **Host:** CHEM PRECISE (PT)
* **Supervisor:** Filipa Cruz
**Objectives:** to develop a structure-based design of a new generation of
transient-receptor potential vanilloid 2 channel (TRPV2) modulators for cancer
therapy. Our recent biochemical, molecular biology and cryo-EM data show that
piperlongumine is a reversible and allosteric antagonist for the TRPV2
channels with exquisite selectivity over a panel of TRPs (unpublished). By
making the most of our acquired expertise and by taking into account the
emergence of TRP channels as drug targets in cancer, we will conduct molecular
dynamics simulations for the full-length channel over a microsecond timescale.
Performing analyses of the obtained trajectories for the apo TRPV2, and
liganded complexes (structures unpublished) will provide critical insights
into pore dynamics. The design of potent TRPV2 modulators will be informed by
the observed molecular recognition patterns. As a result, a focused library of
piperlongumine and cannabidiol-inspired small molecules will be synthesized
and profiled for TRPV2 inhibition through methods established in our
laboratory and in the laboratories of PIANO members. The best candidates will
be assessed for anti-proliferative activities against a range of disease-cell
lines and xenograft mouse models of disease.
**_NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE-_ ESR 8 - The chemical modulation of in vivo
macrophage functions at DRG sites**
* **Host:** THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH (UK)
* **Supervisor:** Marc Vendrel
**Objectives:** to utilise the novel chemical tools from the EDIN group to
examine macrophage activity as well as to modulate their function in vivo. M1
and M2 macrophages have distinct chemokine and chemokine receptor profiles,
with M1 secreting the Th1 cell attracting chemokines CXCL9 and CXCL10 and M2
secreting CCL17, CCL22, and CCL24. Recently, it has been demonstrated in vitro
that macrophages are capable of complete repolarisation from M2 to M1, and can
reverse their polarisation depending on the chemokine environment (Davis MJ et
al. 2013). The change in polarisation is rapid and involves rewiring of
signalling networks at both the transcriptional and translational levels. A
prodrug-fluorophore conjugate has been described which can deliver fluorescent
and therapeutic loads into target cells with enhanced selectivity and reduced
side effects. This is also the first chemical entity described that can
monitor and modulate the function of M1macrophages in vivo. The structure
carries a BODIPY scaffold, which is used by many groups as a fluorescent probe
due to its excellent photophysical and cell permeability properties. Different
prodrug-BODIPY combinations will be synthesised where the acidic pH in
phagosomes would accelerate the cleavage of the N-acylhydrazone group to
activate both fluorescent and functional responses in M1 macrophages. The
specific release of BODIPY activatable fluorophores and cytotoxic drugs into
M1 macrophages will be used to block the pro-inflammatory macrophage phenotype
by means of ablation. The prodrug-BODIPY conjugates only target M1 macrophages
with negligible effects on other macrophage subpopulations. The fluorescent
BODIPY moiety will be used to visualise phagosomal acidification in
macrophages in real time. A fluorescence analysis will be performed of M1
macrophages and the efficiency of cellular uptake of the conjugate and its
intracellular activation upon phagosomal acidification.
**_NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE-_ ESR 9 - The transient receptor potential (TRP) ion
channel family as a key molecular and functional landmark for pain
transduction in subsets of somatosensory neurons**
* **Host:** UNIVERSIDAD MIGUEL HERNANDEZ DE ELCHE (ES)
* **Supervisor** : Antonio Ferrer-Montiel
**Objectives:** The aim of this PhD project is to understand the role of
thermoTRP channels in nociceptor sensitization by chemotherapeutic drugs
giving rise to chemioteraphy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and to use
this information to validate therapeutic targets and discover candidate
molecules for drug development. The successful applicant will use an in vitro
model of CIPN to characterized the effect of the drugs in the electrogenesis
of different subsets of sensory neurons and to develop therapeutic and/or
bioimaging tools.
**Hosting Institution:** The Institute of Research, Development and Innovation
on Healthcare Biotechnology of Elche (IDiBE) is located at the UMH campus. The
mission and vision of IDiBE is to exploit a multidisciplinary program of
translational science in the field of healthcare biotechnology with the
commitment of transforming the generated basic knowledge into products and
services for the benefit of society. The ultimate goal is to go "from the
bench to the bedside" increasing the wealth by delivering the much-needed
solutions to our society.
**Sensory Neurobiology group:** The sensory neurobiology group has more than
20 years research experience in the field of nociception and pain signaling,
along with the validation and development of drug candidates. They are skilled
in molecular and cellular biology, electrophysiology, imaging, in silico
modelling and screening, molecular pharmacology and ion channels biophysics.
The group has co-authored 140 papers and participated in more than 30 patent
applications. Currently, the group has 3 compounds in phase II clinical and on
in pre-clinical regulated studies. In addition, the group members have founded
4 spin-off/start-up companies.
Planned secondments:
To UPO for 3 months (m13-15) to learn about medicinal chemistry and to POLY
for 3 months (m26-28) to learn about biomaterial design.
**Specific Requirements:**
* MSc in Biotechnology, Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacy, Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or equivalent
* Experience on molecular and cell biology techniques
* Expertise on cell culture techniques
* Desiderable expertise or knowledge in some of the following: experience in electrophysiology, calcium microfluorography, HTS screening and microfluidic technology

diagnostic.eu](mailto:jobs@piano-diagnostic.eu)_**
**_NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE-_ ESR 10 - The synthesis of inhibitors that
selectively target sodium ion channel subtypes**
* **Host:** UNIVERSITA’ DEGLI STUDI DEL PIEMONTE ORIENTALE AMEDEO AVOGADRO (IT)
* **Supervisor:** Tracey Pirali
**Objectives:** to provide training in organic and medicinal chemistry for the
design and synthesis of selective sodium ion channel blockers. Ion channels
remain an undeniably valuable target but past attempts to expand the number of
validated ion channel drug targets and create new drugs against these targets
have mainly been disappointing. Many discovery efforts were stopped when
molecules proved insufficiently selective for their intended targets and wound
up causing severe side-effects in patients during early stage clinical trials.
Historically, part of the problem has been because ion channels exist in
different conformational states and designing appropriate platforms to support
small molecule drug discovery has demanded a great deal of expertise. The
recent efforts to identify selective sodium channel blockers were boosted by
the discovery of subtype-selective sodium channel blockers, such as Nav1.3 and
Nav1.72. Multicomponent reactions will be performed to synthesise compounds
against these new targets.
**ESR 11 - Development of MRI accessories for imaging and the physiological
monitoring of pain**
* **Host:** MEDRES-MEDICAL RESEARCH GMBH (NL)
* **Supervisor:** Stefan Wecker
**Objectives:** to produce MRI accessories to fit onto large company MRI
instruments, e.g. Bruker and Siemens, for imaging and the physiological
monitoring of pain. Firstly, this would include the task to custom design RF
antennae (coils) for preclinical MRI experiments, made for all magnetic field
strengths for animal imaging and in accordance with user specifications.
Secondly, advances in MRI technology and analysis are revolutionising the way
neuroinflammatory data may be interpreted during MRI studies. An advanced
neurological analysis suite designed for optimal workflow and giving the
output as single 2D and 3D displays, including combining anatomical images and
results, such as DTI or perfusion colour maps, fibre tracks, and fMRI
activations, will be provided. Thirdly, monopolar and bipolar probes,
electrodes and stimulus-dissection instrumentation are to be provided for use
with the MED neurophysiological monitoring system.
**_NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE-_ ESR 12 - Upconversion nanoparticles – a versatile
solution to in vivo biological imaging of pain**
* **Host:** PERCUROS BV (NL)
* **Supervisor:** Alan Chan
**Objectives:** to take UCNPs to beyond state-of-the-art by combining the
advantages of upconversion luminescence and MRI to offer more imaging
information for diagnosis and with much less toxicity. The integration of two
molecular imaging techniques in such a structure will be utilised to imaging
macrophage activity/inflammation. UCNPs doped with paramagnetic Gd3+ ions have
attracted much attention as promising molecular imaging contrast agents
because of the potential to reduce toxicity and enhance MRI performance. In
MRI angiography and atherosclerotic plaque imaging, UCNPs containing Gd3+ have
been studied where ultra-small NaGdF4 nanoparticles have proven more efficient
than some commercial MRI contrast agents. Furthermore, they were shown to be
rapidly excreted by the kidney (Xing et al., 2014). In another study, a
chelating molecule [diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)] was used to
functionalise the surface of UCNPs with the aim of capturing potentially
released Gd3+ ions, thus avoiding toxic effects in vivo (Xing et al., 2014).
The size and morphology, fluorescence property, and colloidal stability of the
UCNPs will be characterised by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and DLS.
The biocompatibility and biodistribution of the UCNPs will also be
investigated.
**_NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE_ \- ESR 13 - The use of exosomal cargo to investigate
sensory neuron to macrophage communication after nerve trauma**
* **Host:** KING'S COLLEGE LONDON (UK)
* **Supervisor:** Marzia Malcangio
**Objectives:** We will test the hypothesis that the delivery of exosomes
containing miR21 antagomir results in anti-nociceptive effects in models of
neuropathic pain. Recently, we reported a novel function of DRG neuron cell
bodies, which were observed to release extracellular vesicles, including
exosomes and miRNA upon activation/when active. Therefore, vesicles will be
prepared, which will not cross the blood brain barrier, and they will be
administered systemically at the time of nerve injury and 2 weeks after injury
for prophylactic and therapeutic treatment, respectively. Mice will undergo
pain behavioural tests and, at selected time points, the DRG will be examined
immunohistochemically for markers of neuronal activation (p-ERK, CGRP).
Macrophages will be isolated to determine their phenotype by flow cytometry
analysis.
**Expected results:** We expect to reduce neuropathic hypersensitivity of
sensory neurons after nerve injury with an associated elevation of the M2 over
the M1 phenotype after exosome delivery of miR21 antagomir.
**Planned secondments** : To University Camerino (IT) and Medres Medical
Research (NL).

**_NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE-_ ESR 14 - Biomaterial based modulation of macrophage
polarisation to induce anti-nociceptive effects during neuropathic pain**
* **Host:** PERCUROS BV (NL)
* **Supervisor:** Alan Chan
**Objectives** : to assess the impact of different biomaterials and their
surface chemistries on macrophage polarisation. It has recently been
recognised that macrophages, besides being known for their phagocytic
capabilities and immune defence, are also able to switch from a pro-
inflammatory (M1) state into an anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype. We will
begin by analysing key cytokine/chemokine markers of macrophage polarisation
and then test different nanomaterials for their ability to inducing the M2
phenotype from the M1 phenotype. The consequent cues that result from events
related to biomaterial implantation, including pain relief, will be studied.
**ESR 15 - Reversal of oxidative DNA damage by nanoparticle-based stimulation
of DNA repair pathways to induce anti-nociceptive effects in models of
neuropathic pain**
* **Host:** THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH (UK)
* **Supervisor:** Marc Vendrel
**Objectives:** to look at specific inflammatory mediators and their impact on
ROS and RNS to alter the excitability of sensory neurons during inflammation
in animal models of chronic neuropathic pain. One important consequence of
ROS/RNS production in sensory neurons is oxidative DNA damage. The post-
translational modifications of proteins that contribute to the

prevention or treatment of cancers that are best adapted to individuals and
their environment. In daily interaction with the practitioners of the
University Hospital and the François Baclesse Cancer Center, it brings
together about a hundred people who develop research work structured in two
areas: "Cancers and Prevention" and "Biology and Innovative Therapies for
Ovarian Cancers". The "Cancers and Prevention" axis is divided into several
themes, one of which (led by Prof. Florence JOLY) focuses in particular on
"Quality of life and life after cancer" with a focus on management solutions
(supportive care) aimed at improving the long-term quality of life of patients
treated for cancer. This post-doctoral project is an emerging and particularly
innovative project in France that is part of the work in this theme.
_Description of the project_
The improvement in the therapeutic management of women with gynecological
pelvic cancer (ovary, endometrium, cervix) combined with the development of
supportive oncology care allows patients to live longer and in better
conditions. However, research has shown that patients treated for gynecologic
pelvic cancer, in long remission, may suffer from side effects and late
sequelae resulting from the cancer and its treatments in the more or less long
term "post-cancer" period. These patients experience chronic fatigue, residual
pain, persistent transit disorders, sexuality and menopausal disorders,
lymphedema, etc., as well as other side effects. These side effects can
considerably alter the quality of life, the return to social and/or
professional activities, autonomy and/or self-confidence. These difficulties
are not optimally managed after cancer treatment in hospital. They need to be
better identified, followed up and managed by city professionals who will take
over the follow-up in the post-cancer period. Our 'Post-GYN' research program
aims, on the one hand, to better identify and understand these different
difficulties according to the cancer pathology and, on the other hand, to
propose an integrated post-cancer program for the identification and
implementation of supportive care interventions (After-Gyneco study),
evaluated by robust scientific methods and validated in clinical research.
This will enable better coordination of caregivers' actions and improve the
transition from hospital to community care (city medicine) in the post-cancer
period. This program will provide the best possible care and improve the long-
term quality of life for patients.
_Missions_
The post-doctoral fellow will ensure the scientific coordination of the
studies of the Post-GYN program, including the follow-up, the finalization and
the scientific valorization of the ongoing studies as well as the search for
funding, the implementation, the follow-up and the valorization of the After-
Gynéco study. This work will be carried out within the Inserm Anticipe 1086
Unit (with the dedicated working group), and will be done in close
collaboration with the Clinical Research Department (DRCI), the Department of
Supportive Care (ATOSS) and the practitioners of the François Baclesse Center,
the Caen University Hospital and city doctors (general practitioners,
gynecologists, etc.). The program will also be conducted in link with national
networks and intergroups (GINECO Unicancer group, network of rare ovarian
tumors, etc.).
_Candidate profile_
Validated scientific or medical studies and PhD in public health,
epidemiology, clinical research, intervention research, etc.
Required skills :
\- Team work
\- Organization
\- Dynamism
\- Scientific valorization (data management and analysis, critical analysis of
literature, writing scientific articles, communications in conferences, etc.).
\- Interest in public health research, clinical research, intervention
research
\- Knowledge in oncology and quality of life will be appreciated
_Financing and duration_
Applications for funding are underway (results expected by fall 2021).

Research engineer in signal processing and machine learning for motion capture
data (W/M) |
Context:
In the framework of a European Regional funded project, MOVCAP (Motion Capture
on the Move), the University of Montpellier (LIRMM Laboratory) is recruiting a
postdoctoral researcher who will play a leading role in the development and
implementation of solutions that will contribute to the achievement of the
scientific and technical project’s objectives. This project will potentially
open promising outlooks in both academic and industrial fields. The partners
and main tasks of the project are:
LIRMM Laboratory: processing of the motion capture data.
Gambi-M company: software development for the control of the drone.
LGI2P Laboratory IMT Mines Alès: visual tracking.
EuroMov Laboratory: data recording and validation.
Main mission:
The goal of the MOVCAP project is to develop a technical solution for
capturing the kinematics of human movement, while the human target is moving
(for instance a subject performing outdoor sport). This will be achieved by
combining a lightweight motion capture (mocap) device with a flying drone.
Thanks to a visual servoing scheme, the drone will follow the human performing
physical activity and the mocap system will be used to record the 3D positions
of active markers placed on the participant. The raw captured trajectories of
the human will then have to be processed in order to reconstruct his/her
movements through several techniques from signal processing and machine
learning. The EuroMov laboratory, which is specialized in human movement
science, will exploit the final results.
Activities: Offline processing of the motion capture signals, reconstruction
of the trajectories and data analysis. |

Model uncertainties in wake analysis at wind farm scale and aerodynamic
loading at offshore wind turbine scale |
IFP Energies nouvelles offers a one-year post-doctoral position within the
framework of the EU H2020-project HIPERWIND, in collaboration with DTU, EDF,
UiB, DNVGL, ETH and EPRI. HIPERWIND project aims to develop methods to reduce
the levelized cost of energy and to increase the market value factor of
offshore wind power plants by reducing the uncertainties in a fully integrated
modeling chain.
An important step to achieve this goal is to quantify and understand the model
uncertainties that are involved both in the wake analysis at the wind farm
scale and in the aerodynamic loading at the wind turbine scale, for offshore
metocean conditions. Two wind farms with fixed and floating wind turbines will
be studied.
At the wind farm scale, you will compare high-fidelity simulations (using a
coupling between a Large Eddy Simulation framework and the Actuator Line
Method within the Meso-NH open source solver simulation system) to widely used
engineering tools based on analytical wake models.
At the wind turbine scale, you will evaluate the uncertainty of aero-servo-
hydro-elastic model using the well-known Blade Element Momentum approach, by
comparing it to a Vortex–model-based approach with DeeplinesWindTM.
To do so, you will have to define a design of experiment with the partners,
learn about and use the different numerical models available at IFPEN, run
simulations on supercomputers and analyze the results. The European partners
will provide input environmental data and also simulations with other
engineering and LES tools for comparison purposes. Research duties will
include working in a multi-disciplinary and international environment, writing
up reports, presenting your work at meetings, and managing your simulations
and data. If you wish to, this work can be shared in a peer reviewed journal.
Experience in modelling the atmospheric boundary layer flows and/or
aerodynamic of wind turbines are essential. Programming knowledge in python,
fortran90 or C++ and experience in aero-servo-hydro-elastic models would be
appreciated. A background in high performance computing for computational
fluid dynamics is requested. |

Understanding and modeling the internal short circuit in Li-ion batteries |
The electrochemical storage of electrical energy has become a global issue and
a major challenge. Li-ion
batteries are considered as the preferred solution to store energy on board of
new generation electric and
hybrid vehicles or manage renewable energy in stationary applications. Safe
batteries systems still represent
today the weakest link in the development of many energy or power demanding
applications. This thesis
aims to understand and model the phenomenon of thermal runaway lithium-ion
batteries initiated by an
internal short-circuit, taking into account the influence of technology and
aging. It is based on previous
IFPEN works that have developed a methodology to model the thermal runaway of
fresh and aged Li-ion
batteries at cell level. This thesis will extend the IFPEN models by
integrating the reaction mechanism
related to the internal short-circuit relying on an adapted experimental
methodology, which should be able to
trigger internal short-circuit in a controllable and repeatable manner. This
thesis project offers an original
approach combining experimental and modeling studies, where the experimental
part will serve the
phenomenological understanding and the extension of the model. In addition,
abuse tests will be conducted
to ensure the calibration and validation of the developed model. The direction
of the thesis will be supervised
by the LRCS, a French major laboratory in the field of electrochemical energy
storage. |

55183: Electrical Engineer or similar (f/m/x) - Aeronautical Safety Net Based
on Non-cooperative Surveillance |
**Area of research:**
PHD Thesis
**Job description:**
Today, airspace surveillance uses ground-based, non-cooperative radar as well
as cooperative methods, like ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance -
Broadcast) and TCAS (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System). Non-
cooperative radar requires an appropriate ground infrastructure. In oceanic
and polar regions cooperative methods have to be applied, since no ground
infrastructure is available. However, these become ineffective in case of
onboard transponder malfunctions or under jamming conditions.
Your research focus is on the development of non-cooperative surveillance
concepts to enable detection of neighboring aircraft and, thus, increase
situational awareness also in remote areas. Ubiquitously available “signals of
opportunity” are utilized for detection which are independent of any ground
infrastructure. Especially, the signals of navigation satellites are
considered as “signals of opportunity”. Based on their reflections from
neighboring aircraft, the position and velocity of these aircraft can be
estimated. The low power of the reflected signals is a major challenge. Smart
signal processing techniques in conjunction with methods of artificial
intelligence are applied to guarantee successful detection of neighboring
aircraft.
We expect and highly encourage that you utilize your research work at DLR to
pursue earning a PhD degree.

PhD about Impact of sulfur and carbon interactions in marine sediments on
biogenic and geothermal methane emissions : Application to the case of the
Guaymas Basin (Gulf of California) |
A better understanding of the processes resulting in geothermal and/or
biogenic gas emissions at the seafloor is crucial in order to quantify gas
evolution in the deep ocean and better assess its contribution to global
warming. The Guaymas Basin in the Gulf of California is delineated by a thick
marine sediments layer rich in organic matter (OM) and sulfur. This basin is
the site of active rifting, associated with the emission of magmatic
intrusions and geothermal activity. This particular configuration,
simultaneously presenting hydrothermal sites and cold fluid emission zones a
few tens of kilometers away, makes this site favorable to study the redox
mechanisms involved in the generation, transformation and coupling of natural
gases: CH4, H2S and CO2. One of this couplings is OM natural sulfurization, a
process known for the efficient preservation of large amounts of organic
carbon over geological timescales, but not taken into account in carbon cycle
modeling. The thesis will encompass 3 parts. The analytical item will
characterize organic matter and sulfur in sediment cores collected in the
Guaymas basin (IODP Expedition 385, 2019) using a geochemical approach. The
conceptual item will describe the carbon / sulfur balance in the basin using
redox stoichiometric reactions. The last item will apply the hypotheses at
basin scale using TemisFlow®. Supervised by Dr. Armelle Riboulleau (UMR 8187
LOG, Lille), the thesis will benefit from the support of the teams involved
and the technical platforms available at IFPEN (Rueil-Malmaison-France) and
the Oceanology and Geosciences Laboratory at Lille University (France).
Keywords: Guaymas Basin, marine organic matter, microbial degradation,
methane, geothermal fluid, H2S, basin modeling |

Competent Robotic and Agent Technologies (SCRAT)
Category: An initial one-year employment contract will be offered with the
possibility for renewal depending on performance and project needs.
Location: Nicosia, Cyprus
Preferred Start Date: April 2021 or as soon thereafter
Application Deadline: open
**CYENS** (formerly known as RISE) is a research centre of excellence in
Nicosia, Cyprus. CYENS CoE is a significant investment supported by the
European Commission, the Republic of Cyprus and its founding Partners, the
Municipality of Nicosia, Max Planck Institute, University College London, the
University of Cyprus, the Cyprus University of Technology and the Open
University of Cyprus. This project has received funding from the European
Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme
H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017 (Teaming Phase 2) under grant agreement No.
739578, as well as from the Cypriot Government, local and international
partners, and other sponsors.
The Centre conducts excellent, internationally competitive scientific research
in the areas of visual sciences, human factors and design, communication, and
artificial intelligence delivered by high-calibre multidisciplinary research
teams. CYENS engages in knowledge transfer and innovation activities aiming to
bridge the gap between scientific research and STEM-led innovation and
entrepreneurship.
The research focus of CYENS is on interactive media, smart systems, and
emerging technologies. Interactive media have become an integral part of our
lives, changing the way that information is conveyed to the user and the ways
users interact with devices, with other people, and with the world around
them. Smart systems have offered a novel way of producing automated solutions
to hard problems for which the mere use of the human intellect is
insufficient. Research in CYENS integrates the Visual Sciences, Human Factors
& Design, and Communications & Artificial Intelligence, in a tight synergy
that provides a unique interdisciplinary research perspective that emphasizes
an “Inspired by Humans, Designed for Humans” philosophy. CYENS is designed to
act as an integrator of academic research and industrial innovation, towards
the sustainable fuelling of the scientific, technological, and economic growth
of Cyprus and Europe.
The Socially-Competent Robotic and Agent Technologies (SCRAT) MRG focuses on
the design and development of human-centered AI-driven technologies for
physical robots or virtual agents. The MRG’s work draws inspiration from
cognitive psychology and the social sciences, recognizing that value can
increase when machines work with humans rather than only for humans. Humans
are viewed as the collaborators or coaches of machines, helping, and being
helped by, machines to achieve their joint goals. This in turn, necessitates
technologies that can interact competently with humans in a decision-
supporting role and at a level that is socially and cognitively compatible
with the individual(s) interacting with those technologies. The MRG builds
upon techniques from machine learning, learning theory, natural language
processing and generation, preference elicitation, knowledge acquisition and
representation, commonsense reasoning, formal argumentation, cognitive
computing, and explainable AI.
The successful candidates will have the opportunity to conduct applied
research in the aforementioned areas, towards the development of innovative
solutions with socio-economic impact on real-world domains where the use of
smart assistants is most useful. Indicatively, the MRG is looking for
candidates who can design and develop robust, trustworthy, interactive (human-
in-the-loop), explainable AI technologies for decision-support in areas like
Fintech, Education, Health, Tourism, Agriculture, etc. Individuals with
research / innovation experience in relevant application domains, in addition
to knowledge of key AI technologies, are particularly encouraged to apply.
Position holders are expected to publish/present their research results in
prestigious international conferences and journals and contribute to the
Center’s key performance indicators by participating in the preparation of
research and innovation proposals, in the preparation of project reports and
deliverables, and in dissemination activities.
The successful candidate will work under the supervision of the SCRAT MRG

Probabilistic fleet monitoring based on model manifold |
This PhD position is part of the “MOIRA” (MOnItoRing of large scale complex
technologicAl systems) project, funded by the European Commission through the
H2020 “Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks” program.
Modern technological systems increase in scale and are becoming more and more
complex and sophisticated. Parallel, the revolution in electronics, digital
technology and communications have drastically modified and expanded the
physical diversity, scope, processing capabilities and complexity of the
monitoring equipment and infrastructure used. Millions of networked sensors
are being embedded in the physical world sensing, creating and communicating
data. The amount of data available for capturing has been exploding and the
era of Big Data is already here, as the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a
reality. The main question which arises is how, following which steps and with
which tools the data can be transformed to information and knowledge.
The objectives of MOIRA are
1. the development of novel signal processing tools for the monitoring of industrial processes based on machine learning methods applied on heterogeneous time series,
2. the application of data mining technologies for the estimation of Key Performance Indicators which determine the operational profit,
3. the conception, development and validation of methodologies for automated monitoring of cyber physical system fleets, iv) the multi sensor machine condition monitoring under variable operating conditions.
Program of the PhD
Within the context of the MOIRA project, the PhD student will develop model-
based techniques for monitoring individual units in a fleet from a
probabilistic approach. The principles is based on the comparison of a
parametric model identified from measured data to a generic model provided by
dynamic modelling by taking in account acceptable differences between the
generic model of the fleet and individual units. This will be solved as an
inverse problem in the presence of “modelling errors” that reflect the
departure of individual units from the nominal model representing the fleet.
After identification of the model parameters from experimental data – a non-
trivial issue due to the fact that modelling errors are highly structured and
do not comply with the simplifying assumption commonly advocated in system
identification theory -- each unit will be assigned a different realization of
the same model seen as a random object. This will be formalized in the
probabilistic space spanned by the parameter values, thus leading to the
concept of a population of models embedded in a probabilistic manifold endowed
with a topological information geometry. This formalism will be useful to view
and manipulate models as probabilistic objects. The objective for monitoring
will then be to assess whether the dispersion attached to a specific unit is
due to normal variability or to the presence of an abnormality. In addition,
the dynamic evolution in time of models will be accounted for (presence of
confounding environmental variables, dependence on operational conditions) as
trajectories in the probabilistic manifold. Therefore, a Bayesian
probabilistic approach will be developed in order to 1) account for all
elements of information that are a priori available on modelling errors, 2)
propagate them in the inverse problem, and 3) set up credible intervals used
in the ultimate diagnostic step. Monte Carlo Markov Chains will be used as the
machinery to solve these objectives, as they make possible to jointly infer
the model parameters and the modelling errors characteristics. The methodology
will be applied on fleets of vehicles and wind turbines. |

Improving virtual sensing by multi-complexity models |
This PhD position is part of the “MOIRA” (MOnItoRing of large scale complex

H2020 “Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks” program.
Modern technological systems increase in scale and are becoming more and more
complex and sophisticated. Parallel, the revolution in electronics, digital
technology and communications have drastically modified and expanded the
physical diversity, scope, processing capabilities and complexity of the
monitoring equipment and infrastructure used. Millions of networked sensors

2. the application of data mining technologies for the estimation of Key Performance Indicators which determine the operational profit,
3. the conception, development and validation of methodologies for automated monitoring of cyber physical system fleets,
4. the multi sensor machine condition monitoring under variable operating conditions.
Program of the PhD
Within the context of the MOIRA project, the PhD student will work on fleet
monitoring, using a "generic model" and solving an inverse identification
problem. In the case of an heterogeneous fleet of machines, the generic model
has to face different levels of complexity or various phenomenological
contents to describe correct dynamic behaviours of units. If one looks for
sharing information between these units of the fleet, it is necessary to have
common signals which may be virtual and not necessary physical. The choice and
the use of different models that map the physical quantities of interest to
the measured signals will be investigated in order to improve the general
performances of a “virtual sensor”, which is achieved through inverse
modelling. The richness of the sensor equipment of a unit (machine, vehicle
etc.) will be used in order to correlate the virtual signal estimations from
different inverse model architectures. Methodologies will be proposed for the
identification of the particular operating conditions of each unit, updating
simultaneously their estimation by sharing reconstructed signals of the fleet
units.
Considering the operating conditions and architectures of each unit in the
fleet, it is necessary to consider behavioural models with different levels of
complexity but which share identical signals to increase the efficiency of
detection of abnormal situations. This can be considered as a "virtual
machine" with its generic model identified on the basis of existing signals.
This work will be based on recent identification techniques and will benefit
from an a priori knowledge of excitation components (bearings, gears,
electrical machines, etc.). The general framework of angular approaches will
also be used to describe the transfer path from known excitation components to
physical signals (used for model identification and fault detection) and to
virtual signals (used for fleet comparison between units and fault detection)
in these machine architectures. In particular, non-stationary operating
conditions will be investigated to extend opportunities of better
identification performances and opportunities for detection of abnormal
situations.
The methodologies will be applied to fleets of vehicles and wind turbines
and/or of some specific components of such machines like drive trains or power
transmission units. |

Impact of mechanical confinement on permeation in polymeric membranes |
Transport of chemical species in polymeric materials is met in many industrial
applications in the energy
sector. It is often related to the performance of a process or an equipment.
So understanding, predicting and
mastering this phenomenon is a subject of first importance to gain in
efficiency in these sectors, and offers
many industrial opportunities.
Transport of chemical species in polymers involves several coupled physical
mechanisms that are related to
the interactions of species within the material. In particular, the species
must dissolve in the matrix before
diffusing. This solubilization modifies the local properties of the matrix and
can cause swelling. Accordingly,
the permeation will be different depending on whether the material is
constrained or free to swell. The impact
of this mechanical stress on transport properties is the key point that we
propose to study extensively during
the thesis.
Based on accurate analysis and description of the physical mechanisms
encountered, the objective of the
PhD is to develop a modeling strategy for molecular transport in these
deformable solids. A rigorous
formalism has to be developed. It could be based on the Maxwell-Stefan
diffusion equations, using the
gradient of the chemical potentials obtained by an equation of state, with the
addition of the suitable
mechanical component. The development of a numerical tool should make it
possible to reproduce available
experimental data. Additional measures may be considered. This work will be
carried out in partnership with
the team of Professor Eric Favre, at ENSIC (France). |

Topic of dissertation thesis: Protection of surfaces covered by
poly(2-oxazoline) |
Protection of surfaces against undesired protein adsorption is of significant
importance in biochemical and nanotechnological applications. One of the most
frequently used method of surface protection is reversible or irreversible
coating of surfaces with polymer chains. For this purpose, poly(ethylene
oxide) (PEO) is very often used. PEO is biocompatible, nontoxic, does not
induce immune response in living bodies and is perfectly soluble in water.
Presently, however, also poly(2-oxazoline) (POX), which displays similar
properties to PEO, is becoming prominent and, moreover, indications about its
superiority in protection effectiveness have appeared. Molecular dynamics
simulations enable to compare the surface protection effectivity of PEO and
POX against protein adsorption and to explain the differences at atomistic
level. The simulations will be performed using program package GROMACS. The
applicant is supposed to have degree in chemistry, biophysics or related
scientific fields and basic knowledge of some programming or scripting
language. Knowledge of molecular dynamics method and program GROMACS is
welcome but not required. During the PhD study,there is room for mastering
this method and program.

Experimental study of the injection of fluids at high pressure (supercritical)
for a rocket engine type application. |
PHD Position.
The suggestion to use supercritical fluids is a century old. They have been
used as solvents in reaction media or as fluids for propulsion. In the latter
case, the tendency is to increase the pressure in the combustion chamber in
order to increase the efficiency of the jet engines when using the new
generation kerosene and thus considerably reduce the CO2 emissions and NOx
production. As a result, the liquid fuel can be injected under supercritical
conditions (or compressed liquid). Many energy systems involve a thermodynamic
transition from a subcritical state to a supercritical state. The INSIDE
project aims to study the impact of the behavior of the phases (subcritical
and supercritical) on the mixture through innovative diagnostics coupled with
numerical simulations. The CORIA laboratory and the CMAP of the École
Polytechnique are associated in this project.
Experimental data for this type of injection regime remains scarce and / or
poorly documented. The ANR REFINE (), completed in 2018, aimed to overcome this knowledge
deficit by the experimental and numerical study of injection in diets sub,
trans and supercritical of an ethane jet unassisted in helium in an enclosure
at variable pressure and temperature. All of these results are available in N.
Vallée's thesis defended at CORIA in 2018. During the REFINE project, it
turned out that setting up high-pressure diagnostics was a challenge that
required further investigation.
The CORIA phd offer proposed here is the continuation of the ANR REFINE. The
goal is to perform a series of quantitative measurements (density, speed) of a
supercritical jet. This is a real challenge because the development of a truly
controlled experience in pressure and temperature is delicate. In addition,
innovative diagnostics will be used for the first time in the context of
supercritical fluids: Spontaneous Raman scattering and femtosecond double-
pulse imaging. The development of these diagnostics will be a key point of the
project. This study is therefore essential in understanding the disintegration
of supercritical jets and will also make it possible to provide the scientific
community with an exploitable experimental database for the validation of
computer codes. A coaxial type injector is envisaged here in order to have a
better control of the flow and to approach the final application of the rocket
engine injectors. Post-processing codes using artificial intelligence (AI),
thermodynamics and / or fluid mechanics may be used in order to deepen the
knowledge of these very specific flows. |

15 PhD research positions in Control prediction and learning in Mixing
processes (CoPerMix) |
**ESR1 – Host: Aix-Marseille Université: Water transport and mixing in
plants**
Objectives: Understand water transport and solute mixing in plant roots.
Expected Results: Plant continuously extract water and solutes from the soil.
This transport, driven by evaporation and modulated by osmotic pressure,
proceeds through the plant tissues − the regular cells (cytoplasm), their
membrane and walls (plasma membrane and apoplast) and vessels (xylem and
phloem) − forming a complex porous structure with a hierarchy of sizes and
permeabilities. Which path water is taking is still debated, and little is
known about the dispersion and mixing of the solutes. These questions are
crucial for plants but also because they connect with the more general topic
of substance delivery in living tissues. The project tackles these questions
by taking advantage of the unprecedented combination of experimental
techniques gathered by the CoPeRMix network (index-matching, photo-bleaching,
high-resolution particle tracking, and dye concentration measurements
diffusive strip method) that allowed recent advances in the characterization
of mixing in regular porous media and sheared particulate suspensions.
Experiments will be conducted on a model multi-scale porous medium, upscaling
the root anatomy and made of empty or porous disks (cells) surrounded by
different porous media (membranes and walls). It is expected that identifying
the water pathways and disentangling the elementary contributions of
dispersion and stretching on the mixing dynamics of the solutes in our model
multi-scale porous medium will have a strong impact on the comprehension of
transport and mixing in plants.

**ESR2 – Host: University of Cambridge – Deep ocean mixing by breaking
internal waves**
Objectives: Understand the mixing efficiency in Oceans through the interplay
between stratification and wave stirring.
Expected Results: Evidence is accumulating that mixing by deep ocean
turbulence exerts a leading order control on the global climate system through
regulating the oceanic uptake and redistribution through irreversible
turbulent mixing of heat, carbon, nutrients and other tracers. Observations of
such turbulent mixing, and our ability to model it numerically, have both been
extremely limited historically. However, recently major international field
programs have shed light on deep ocean turbulence through state-of-the-art
observations of turbulence generated by deep ocean waves that can have
amplitudes measured in the tens to hundreds of meters. Computational resources
are just now also becoming available to allow us to simulate such flows at
adequately high resolution, and in particular to trace the ensuing mixing
dynamics in space and time. An exciting opportunity is emerging to use
simulations and observations in tandem to understand the physics of such
turbulent mixing in detail, and thus to represent the key effects of this
wave-induced mixing in climate models, which inevitably have too coarse a
resolution to describe the intricate and fascinating wave-driven dynamics
directly. This project will advance our under- standing of deep ocean
turbulent mixing mediated by wave-breaking through an iterative combination of
observational data analysis and high-resolution numerical simulations.
Improving the parameterization of such turbulence is a key challenge for
larger-scale predictive climate modelling, and is central to understanding
transport of heat, carbon and nutrients in the oceans.

**ESR3 – Host: Saint-Gobain – Mixing in granular systems**
Expected Results: A crucial first step of many industrial processes
(pharmaceutical, building materials, industrial beneficiary Saint-Gobain's
activities such as glass forming) is the homogenization of granular raw
materials. Although important progresses in the understanding of their
rheology have been achieved in the last decade, the question of grain mixing
has received much less attention. Recent works showed that mixing in granular
materials or concentrated suspensions is strongly affected by the shear-
induced self-diffusion of the grains. For simple shear flows, a description
was given in terms of an effective diffusivity coefficient. The goal here is
to go beyond by providing a description of mixing able to handle complex
flows. This will be achieved by extending the lamellar approach of mixing to
the case of granular flows. In such case, the key feature is that the
diffusion coefficient is not constant, as for molecular diffusion, but depends
on the grain size, the local shear rate and the local volume fraction in
grains. Experiments will be performed to investigate the mixing process of
large grains with a focus on the role of the flow field heterogeneities. To
enhance these heterogeneities and broaden the distribution of local shear
rates, we will also introduce cohesion between the grains.
Objectives: Frame the lamellar approach to the description of mixing into
granular systems.

**ESR4 – Host: Universidad Politécnica de Madrid – Mixing in multiphase,
multicomponent fluid systems in confined geometries**
Expected Results: Recent advances in high-resolution visualization and pore-
scale flow modelling provided by the CoPeRMix network give disruptive tools to
understand the fundamental mechanisms controlling flow through porous media
and their upscaling to field-scale predictions. A major challenge in pore-
scale modelling is the direct simulation of flows involving multicomponent
mixtures with complex phase behavior. A key open question is how the interplay
between mixing and multiphase flow in the tightly confined pore space of
reservoir rocks controls the phase behavior, potentially deviating from the
idealized calculations based on thermodynamic equilibrium. To address this
question, we will begin by simulating flow of partially miscible two-component
two-phase (gas-liquid) mixtures in Hele-Shaw cells. We will characterize the
structure of the velocity field induced by interface dynamics and mass
transfer. We anticipate that fingering and break- up instabilities may lead to
chaotic mixing conditions in the liquid phase. We will also explore the
emergence of metastable states of fluid mixtures in porous media systems and
propose modified flash calculations to upscale our results to field-scale flow
models.
Objectives: Characterize the role of interface dynamics and interfacial mass
transport in mixing and stirring at the pore scale. Determine the impact of
mixing on multicomponent fluid mixtures in porous media.
_Contact:_ [luis.cueto@upm.es](mailto:luis.cueto@upm.es)
**ESR5 – Host: Université de Rennes 1 – Impact of pore structures on mixing
dynamics**
Expected Results: The large diversity of subsurface porous media (sedimentary
layers, soils, rocks) that host water and energy resources is inherited from
long-term geological processes. These heterogeneities and anisotropies in the
pore structure drive macroscale solute dispersion, mixing and reaction. Recent
experimental breakthroughs obtained by the CoPeRMix teams have enabled the
first quantification of mixing dynamics in random monodisperse bead packs
rendered transparent by optical index matching, providing an experimental
proof of the chaotic behavior of fluid stirring in porous media. The key
question to address now is whether these results apply to a larger class of
porous media. To investigate these questions, fundamental to key applications
involving solute mixing (e.g., contaminant transport, CO2 sequestration,
biogeochemical reactions), the PhD candidate will extend the optical
techniques developed in the CoPeRMix network to a range of multiscale porous
media including: polydisperse bead packs, packs of crushed materials and
upscaled transparent models of real rocks in order to derive their scale
dependent stirring laws. The expected results will contribute directly to
CoPeRMix output 2 by documenting the impact of the complexity in pore
structure of real rock and sedimentary morphologies on the dynamics of solute
mixing.
Objectives: Quantify the impact of the complex pore structures upon fluid
stretching laws and reactive mixing.

**ESR6 – Host: CNRS – A new Soft-Mixer to optimize bioreactors**
Objectives: Characterize mixing in a soft mixer in order to maximize transport
while minimizing shear. Expected Results: Large output growing of biological
cells is difficult because cells need a large supply of oxygen (hence large
mixing rates) but they are killed by large shear strains. Thus, bioreactors
require efficient mixing yet very smooth stirring. Such a “soft mixer”,
inspired by the precession of the Earth, has recently been proposed in a
patent, which is currently tested for algae growth by a local start-up
company. The bioreactor consists of a cylindrical container rotating slowly
around its axis. The flow is forced by the motion of the free surface with
respect to the cylinder due to the small angle between the axis and the
vertical. This generates a strong resonance of the flow leading to a large
increase of scalar transport, while decreasing the small-scale shear. The goal
of the project is to improve the fundamental knowledge on mixing in this
simple configuration which can be tuned to generate a 3D laminar or a
turbulent flow. The mixing characteristics (stirring law, mixing times,
concentration distributions) of the “soft mixer” will be investigated using
Laser Induced Fluorescence measurements. In parallel, the flow will be
characterized through PIV measurements (mean velocities and shear, PDF of
velocity and shear) and described analytically using the eigen modes of
rotating fluids. The mixing properties will then be recovered using a new
numerical technique based on diffusive lagrangian tracers.

**ESR9 – Host: Amphos21 – Mixing and precipitation patterns linked to
groundwater evaporation in arid environments**
The research objective of the PhD project ESR 09 is to identify and
characterize mineral precipitation patterns linked to groundwater evaporation
in arid environments and their spatial and temporal evolution using reactive
transport modelling techniques. Evaporation in arid environments leads to the
salinization of soils, which is one of the processes of soil degradation
contributing to land desertification. Physically, the evaporated groundwater
becomes denser and generates density-driven convective flow fields.
Chemically, the evaporated water becomes saturated in carbonate minerals,
gypsum and, eventually, halite. Precipitated calcium carbonate forms a hard,
calcareous cement known as caliche, which changes the hydraulic properties of
the soil. The precipitation patterns of these minerals can only be understood
by the interplay between evaporation, convective flow, mixing and reactions.
An experimental and numerical approach is proposed. First, numerical models to
simulate groundwater flow and mixing in highly evaporative environments will
be performed. The simulations will be used to design experiments in 2D tank
experiments or Hele-Shaw cells to be performed in EAWAG and at ULB. A reactive
transport model will be developed to replicate the flow and reactivity
patterns observed in the experiments. The temporal dynamics and spatial
patterns of flow and reactivity will be investigated to predict the formation
of mineral crusts, define desertification indicators and the critical time
under which the process becomes irreversible and to design mitigation
strategies.
Objectives: Identify and characterize mineral precipitation patterns linked to
groundwater evaporation in arid environments and their spatial and temporal
evolution using reactive transport modelling techniques.

**ESR11 – Host: Université Libre de Bruxelles – Reactive mixing in porous
media**
Expected Results: Our objective is to understand by combined experimental and
theoretical analysis how flow conditions can influence the mixing of reactive
species in simple bimolecular A+B->C fronts. The ESR will first study in
Brussels how the properties of A+B->C fronts can be modulated in a radial flow
in empty horizontal Hele-Shaw (HS) cells. In particular, experiments and
modelling will analyze the influence of dispersion and possible buoyancy- or
viscosity-driven mixing effects within the gap of the cell on scaling for the
location and width of the front as well as for the reaction rate. In a second
step, the situation of quasi-2D porous media will be considered by filling the
Hele-Shaw cell with obstacles in order to see how geometric constraints affect
the mixing scaling laws obtained in an empty cell. The more complicated 3D
porous medium case will finally be tackled by studying the properties for
A+B->C fronts in 3D packing of beads with index matching techniques. The study
interacts with ESRs 7, 8, 9 for mixing and reaction in complex geometries.
Objectives: Theoretical and experimental study of the impact of advective
mixing on the yield of the reaction A+B->C.

**ESR12 - Host: Université Libre de Bruxelles – Chemical control of
interfacial hydrodynamic instabilities**
Expected Results: ESR12 will investigate numerically and theoretically the
conditions in which a simple bimolecular A+B- >C reaction can actively tune
mixing by changing the spatiotemporal properties of hydrodynamic convective
instabilities triggered by changes in density, in viscosity or in
permeability. She/he will compare control methods in reactive and non-
reactive cases by performing a theoretical analysis of the stabilizing or
destabilizing effects of the reaction on the spatial profile of the physical
property (density, viscosity, permeability) at the origin of the hydrodynamic
instability considered. The objective is to obtain the general common
denominator in the form of this profile needed to target the flow mixing
control strategy to be devised. On the basis of this general control strategy,
numerical simulations of CO2 convective dissolution triggered by density
changes, viscous fingering induced by viscosity gradients and precipitation
patterns controlled by spatial variations of permeability will be devised to
check the validity of the general approach. An overall unifying theory will

**ESR13 – Host: UNESCO – Learning to navigate in complex odor landscapes**
Expected Results: Odor-guided navigation is inherently difficult because
turbulent air flow mixes the relevant chemical signal with clean air and with
other background signals, resulting in a highly dynamic and complex odor
landscape. Besides the immediate interest in animal behavior, understanding
the principles of olfactory search and navigation stands at the basis of
applications ranging from the localization of the source of dangerous
substances to ecological control of vector-borne diseases. In the first stage,
the problem of locating an odor source will be framed as a Reinforcement
Learning problem and optimal solutions will be sought. This will also require
answering the question about which is the most efficient representation of the
olfactory landscape that the searcher must adopt for a given goal. Then we
will turn to the problem of telling apart and reaching several distant sources
which emit different odor blends, and we will also address the problem of
cooperative olfactory search by many interacting agents.
Objectives: Attack the problem of olfactory navigation building upon the
recent successful application of Reinforcement Learning to bird soaring in
turbulent environments

**ESR14 – Host: Université de Rennes 1 – Bacterial growth and competition in
scalar mixtures**
Expected Results: In natural environments, bacteria play a major role in
triggering chemical reactions, producing catalysts or degrading contaminants.
The vast majority of bacteria live in complex fluid environments, such as
porous media or turbulent flows, where heterogeneous nutrients and redox
landscapes are shaped by flows and transport processes. Bacterial growth laws
generally describe bacterial development in well mixed and homogeneous
environment. Yet, bacterial activity in soils is known to occur at well
identified biogeochemical hot spots and mixing interfaces. It consequently
depends on the joint probability of concentrations of nutrients that mix
across interfaces. Recent theoretical breakthroughs have allowed the
quantification of the joint probability of concentration in complex scalar
fields. Based on these new insights, the ESR will develop microfluidics
measurements of bacterial growth in concentration gradients representative of
porous media and turbulent flows to investigate the spatial patterns and
temporal dynamics of bacteria populations in scalar mixtures. Results will be
integrated into a mechanistic model linking mixing dynamics, chemical
gradients and microbial growth and competition.
Objectives: Understand and model the spatial patterns, growth dynamics and
competition of bacteria in heterogeneous scalar fields composed of electron
donors and acceptors originating from different sources

**ESR15 – Host: EAWAG – Chemotactic strategies in heterogeneous concentration
fields**
Expected Results: Chemotactic bacteria, which often develop in complex
environments such as soils, move and develop according to the local
concentration field of nutrient. To better understand chemotactic strategies
within heterogeneous chemical landscapes, we propose an experiment allowing
simultaneous visualization of nutrient concentration and bacterial
trajectories. The goals are to characterize bacterial search strategies under
sporadic nutrient signals and understand the contribution of motility to
bacterial residence times in complex environments. To this end different
fluorescent labels for bacteria and nutrient will allow tracking of individual
bacteria and the concentration field. We will also develop a theoretical model
which will greatly improve our ability to predict mixing in these complex
systems by accounting both for the spatial bacterial distributions and the
residence times. The comparison between chemotactic and non-chemotactic
strains will high- light the impact of chemotaxis on residence time
distribution of bacteria. Segmentation of the concentration field will be used
to identify the chemotactic strategies above and below the bacterial nutrient
detection limit.
Objectives: Define the chemotactic strategy in fragmented/intermittent
concentration fields and its impact on bacterial residence time distribution
in porous media

Quantitative information about the molecules that participate in the basic
processes of life, ideally in a physiological context, are key to
understanding the physical principles that underly cellular organization and
function. Self-association, oligomerization and/or aberrant aggregation is
crucial for the (dys-)function of many proteins. However, access to molecular
copy numbers and live cell studies of structure-function relationships at
enhanced resolution in 3D are not yet generally available. Super-resolution
optical fluctuation microscopy (SOFI) provides a promising alternative for
extracting sub-diffraction information about molecular densities and
properties of fluorescent probes. SOFI is readily usable at high label
densities and moderate laser powers, which are favorable conditions for live
cell imaging.
In this project, you will turn SOFI into a robust tool for measuring molecule
numbers and reading of fluorescence blinking-based probes/sensors in 3D with
the help of simulations and experiments with DNA & protein-based standards _in
vitro_ and in (live) cells. You will evaluate organic dyes and fluorescent
proteins and also explore new classes of fluorophores. This includes different
flavors of so-called self-blinking dyes. You will also use these spontaneously
fluctuating dyes (no need for chemicals or high-power lasers) to push
multicolor live-cell SOFI to higher resolution and to 3D time-lapse imaging.
You will be an integral part of our team and have the opportunity to build a
state of-the-art 3D multicolor super-resolution microscope. Your work will
also include collaborating on quantitative super-resolution microscopy
(PALM/STORM/SOFI) within the Department of Bionanoscience and beyond!
Depending on your scientific profile and interests, the specific focus of the
project can be adjusted. |

Many diseases are associated with the formation of aberrant protein
aggregates, yet controlled oligomerization provides advantages for biological
structure and function. Among them are neurodegenerative diseases like
Alzheimer’s or Huntington’s that are to date incurable and pose one of the
grand challenges for society. Despite tremendous progress it remains unclear
what causes neuronal toxicity. Different types of assemblies (oligomers,
fibrils, amyloid-like aggregates, …) have been identified, but the underlying
molecular mechanisms of formation remain elusive. Phase transitions are
suggested to play a key role in protein aggregation of intrinsically
disordered proteins such as Huntingtin. Still, direct evidence of these
transitions in patient brains is missing. What role, if any, does liquid-
liquid phase separation play in neurodegeneration? What molecular and cellular
determinants influence these transitions? To answer these questions, a better
definition of the structural and functional features of protein assemblies is
necessary, including their material properties. Exploring different
Huntington’s model systems, from _in vitro_ to neuronal cells will provide
maximal insight. You will use our imaging toolbox and other nanotechnology
available in the department to tackle this challenge. You will also apply
machine learning and correlation analysis to fully exploit our recently
developed 3D quantitative phase imaging for disease monitoring. As an integral
part of our team, you will have the opportunity to e.g., design new optics or
to establish new synthetic cell model systems for neurodegenerative disease.
We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds. Depending on
your scientific profile and interests, the specific focus of the project can
be adjusted.

Post doctoral research fellow |
Summary
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) response rate in non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC) is around 30%. Patient’s immune system influences response
to ICI, but the biological bases of this response heterogeneity are poorly
understood. Currently, immune parameters are emerging as candidate biomarkers
of response to PD1-blockade strategies (Havel Nat Rev Cancer 2019). Effector
and helper T cell activation and phenotype is associated with ICI responses
(Kagamu Cancer Immunol Res 2020, Huang Nature 2017, Gide Cancer Cell 2019).
Additional immune populations were shown to be critical to ICI efficacy, with
higher response rates in patients with tumors enriched with cytotoxic cells
(CD8+ T cells, γδT cells, NK cells), helper T cells (CD4+ T cells) and
depleted of MDSCs and Tregs (Kagamu Cancer Immunol Res 2020, Charengton Cell
Reports 2017, Riaz Cell 2017, Sade-Feldman, Cell 2018, Modermott Nat Med 2018,
Krieg Nature Med 2018). Importantly, induction of alternative immune
checkpoints during treatment represents a potential mechanism of escape to ICI
(Koyama Nat Com 2016; Kamphorst PNAS 2017; Kalbasi Nat Rev Immunol 2019).
To date, such studies are limited in NSCLC patients. Moreover, these studies
often lack external validation cohorts, especially in a real-life setting.
Likewise, most of these biomarkers underperform in terms of quality of
prediction (lack of sensitivity and/or specificity), which is a major concern
for clinical decision making. In addition, ICI-resistance may be
multifactorial. Combination of markers, signatures or scores is therefore
required to gather immune parameters, clinical parameters and tumor
characteristics, to improve the quality of prediction.
Thereby, a full characterization of immune populations involved in primary and
acquired resistance is necessary to develop sensitive, specific and robust
immune signatures to predict clinical outcome in NSCLC patients treated with
ICI. In this context, we propose a project of development and validation of an
integrated immuno-clinical signature associated with clinical responses to ICI
in NSCLC patients, using non-invasive liquid biopsies collected in a real-life
setting. Additionally, understanding the biological mechanisms underlying
primary and secondary resistance to treatment is an important prerequisite to
improve the efficacy of ICI.
Objectives: The present project aims at 1/ identifying immune biomarkers and
immune signatures associated with primary or secondary resistance to ICI in
patients with NSCLC 2/ identifying mechanisms of resistance to ICI.
Methods: 70 patients with advanced NSCLC have been included in the Immunosup
trial (NCT03595813). Peripheral blood samples have been collected at baseline
and during treatment with anti-PD1 or anti-PDL1. Cytokines and soluble immune
checkpoints will be analyzed using ELISA and Luminex. PBMC will be analyzed by
mass cytometry (CyTOF Helios) using 3 validated panels of 40 mAb (T cells, NK
cells, myeloid cells) and sc-RNA-seq (10X-genomics).
Expected Results: We will validate immune signatures previously identified in
retrospective NSCLC cohorts in collaboration with Thierry Fest (Hematology
Department, Inserm U1236, Rennes University Hospital, France) and Edward Garon
(Oncology Department, David Geffen UCLA Medical School, UCLA, USA) in the
frame of the Keynote-001 trial (Rochigneux et al, Word Conference on Lung
Cancer 2019 Barcelona abstr#2292; Rochigneux et al ASCO 2020 abstr#294245).
sc-RNAseq analyses will enable to understand the metabolic pathways and
functions of the immune candidates associated with response to ICI.
Main activities
The candidate will interact with different teams leading the different
workpackages of the project. The overall scientific coordination of this
interdisciplinary project will be ensured by Pr. Daniel Olive. Mass cytometry
analysis will be performed in Daniel Olive’s lab (Paoli Calmettes Institute,
Marseille, France). Philippe Rochigneux, a medical oncologist in Pr.
Goncalves’ department, and Anne-Sophie Chretien, an immunologist in Pr.
Olive’s department, will bridge the clinical aspects with the different
workpackages. scRNAseq analyses will be performed in collaboration with Pierre
Milpied (CIML, Marseille). Data analysis will be supervised by Samuel
Granjeaud (bioinformatics department, CRCM, Marseille).

experience in the use of bioinformatics tools for high dimensional datasets
analysis. Candidates with the following skills are especially encouraged to
apply.

Post-Doc Positions In Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Biology And Biophysics |
POST DOC positions available @ CNR Institute of Nanotechnology Lecce
Project TITAN: Nanotechnology for cancer immunotherapy
Titan project will target Immunotherapy with genetically engineered T cells.
Immunotherapy has achieved some spectacular success in clinical trials, but it
is currently very expensive. This is partly due to the fact that it’s a highly
personalized therapy and can’t be achieved by mass production. A key need is
the widespread availability of small‐scale bioreactors providing in‐process
monitoring. TITAN aims to the continuous sampling of critical quality
attributes, in order to quickly recognize deviations from the desired range
and take appropriated corrective actions of process parameters, for an optimal
outcome.
To achieve its aims, TITAN will develop sophisticated microfluidic and sensing
tools for the accurate and efficient manufacturing of hybrid polymeric devices
for medical applications.
A major innovative aspect will be the integration of both sample preparation
and of the different analytical modules into a fully automated platform that
can be conveniently accessed by end users.
A second TITAN aim is the development of efficient strategies for non‐viral
transduction of synthetic receptors into primary T cells. Current available
methods rely on retro‐ or lentiviral vectors, which are efficient, but
relatively costly and laborious to prepare for mass production purposes. TITAN
will develop cheaper and efficient synthetic nanovectors in combination with
minigenes that do not require chromosomal integration, hence abolish the risks
of insertional mutagenesis.
To fulfil these activities TITAN will recruit post-doc researchers (proposed
salary: up to 39 k€/year on the basis of the profile) with the following
professional skills:
* Analytical chemist or similar with experience in electrochemical methods for sensor characterization and measurements and expertise in chemical functionalization of microdevices;
* Biologist or similar with expertise in cell culture methods with skills in immunology/immunotherapy in cancer research;
* Electronic engineer or similar with experience in sensor micro- /nanofabrication and clean room processes;
* Materials scientist/mechanical engineer or similar for polymeric microfluidic microfabrication and rapid prototyping (skills in CAD/CAM design, 3D printing, micromilling);
* Electronic engineer or similar with electronic circuit design knowledge (analysing, designing, testing)
* Materials Chemist or similar with experience in biopolymers synthesis/characterization and develop of non-viral nanovectors for gene delivery;
* Biologist or similar with experience in transfection methods and immunotherapy;
* Molecular biologist or similar for manipulation of constructs for protein expression and SELEX technology.

objective is to provide holistic support for the end-to-end management of the
full lifecycle of data, from capture to exploitation by data scientists.
DEDS is a 3-year doctoral program based on a co-tutelle model. A complementary
set of 15 joint doctoral projects focus on the main aspects of holistic
management of the full data lifecycle. Each doctoral project is co-supervised
by two institutions and includes a secondment in a partner organization, which
grounds the research in practice and validate the proposed solutions. DEDS
delivers innovative training comprising technical and transversal courses,
four jointly organized summer and winter schools, as well as dissemination
activities including open science events and a final conference. Upon
graduation, a joint degree from the universities of the co-tutelle will be
awarded.
DEDS operates under the Horizon 2020 - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative
Training Networks European Joint Doctorate (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2020) framework. It
is jointly organized by:
* Universite Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium)
* Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (Spain)
* Aalborg Universitet (Denmark)
* Athena Research and Innovation Centre (Greece)
Partner organizations from research, industry, and the public sector
prominently contribute to the program by training students and providing
secondments in a wide range of domains including Energy, Finance, Health,
Transport, and Customer Relationship and Support.
The PhD positions are fully funded under a single, 3-year employment contract,
which also provides social security coverage, holiday rights, parental leave
rights, pension provision, health-care insurance, and accident coverage at

PhD student on Medical Imaging / Medical Physics / Biomedical Engineering |
Within an European Transnational Project EraPerMEd (France, Spain, Italy) we
are hiring a PhD student for developing methods for personalized planning in
Radiotherapy.
PerPlanRT
_Pe_ rsonalized _Plan_ ning in _R_ adio _T_ herapy Through Integrative
Modeling of Local Dose Effect and New Dosimetric Constraints
Radiotherapy for prostate cancer (PC) involves irradiation not only of the
target volume but also of portions of healthy neighboring Organs at Risk (OaR)
such as bladder, rectum or penile bulb. RT-induced morbidity of sexual,
urinary, or rectal nature can arise, impacting Quality of life (QoL). RT
protocols are currently optimized on the former assumptions that the radio-
sensitivity and the functionality are uniform within the same OaR. Image
mining of 3D dose distribution in low spatial scales, via voxel-based
population methods, has highlighted the existence of radiosensitive sub-
regions (SRR) responsible of radio-induced toxicity. Modern RT protocols have
not yet incorporated these findings due to the lack of i) extensive validation
ii) dosimetric constraints for plan optimization and iii) automated patient-
specific SRR contouring methods. The goal of PerPlanRT is to devise innovative
decision-making tools aimed at proposing integrated and feasible strategies
for personalized RT in PC with reduced RT-induced toxicities. Multivariable
spatially accurate predictive models derived from large set of cohorts
prospectively collected will be applied to different RT scenarios to explore
their patient-specific benefits in depth. The application of these models to
the clinical practice will be performed through the generation of dose
distributions adapted to patient-specific anatomies.

PhD position in rock mechanics and deep geothermal energy |
**Project Title**
Coupled Thermal-Hydrological-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) Processes in Fractured
Rocks in Deep Geothermal Energy Extraction
**About the Project**
This is a self-funded PhD position open to applicants worldwide, with a start
date of either 1st October 2021 (preferred) or 1st October 2022. You will work
with Dr Junlong Shang at the Geotechnics Group and the Energy and
Sustainability Research Group at James Watt School of Engineering, University
of Glasgow. This PhD project will focus on Coupled THMC modelling for
renewable geothermal energy, with an ultimate goal to promote environmental
sustainability.
**Research Background**
Actively seeking viable “clean/green” energy sources is important for human to
maintain a sustainable development. Deep geothermal energy provides an
important alternative to fossil fuels in our life. It is constant and would be
available around the clock and in all sorts of weather, as it is supplied by
the magma or decay of radioactive elements within the Earth. Most geothermal
resources are deep-seated and are either deficient in fluid or permeability,
or both (the so-called hot dry rock). Currently, the deep-seated, dry, and
low-permeable geothermal reservoirs are often hydraulically fractured for
permeability improvement, thereby promoting fluid circulations in engineered
reservoirs and heat transportation to the ground. This is often referred to as
enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). EGS has been a globally hot topic for
renewable geothermal energy extraction. The development of EGS by hydraulic or
chemical fracturing implies the consideration and understanding of coupled
multiphysics (i.e., thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical, THMC) mechanisms.
Previous attempts in the understanding of THMC coupling behaviour ignored the
impact of the ubiquitous natural incipient joints or crack-seal minerals on
permeability evolution. As revealed by several major geothermal projects
(e.g., the DEEPEGS Horizon 2020 project), veins are ubiquitously in upper
crustal rock formations and deep geothermal reservoirs. Additionally, it is
almost a ubiquitous feature that natural rock discontinuities in the
underground are incipient, with considerable tensile strength and cohesion.
The research questions of this project are 1) how does the coupled THMC
behaviour control hydraulic fracture propagate in fractured rock cores
containing veins or incipient rock joints? and 2) do the presence of incipient
fractures can be the first-order control of the 3D geometry of hydraulic
fractures? To address these questions, you will develop a coupled THMC model
to for the first time look at how the 3D hydraulic fractures propagate within
fractured media under geothermal reservoir conditions.
**Research Method and Novelty**
To investigate the key research questions outlined above, you will develop a
THMC model by coupling the discontinuum method and an open-access multiphysics
flow simulator (i.e., TOUGHREACT) to understand the coupled flow processes in
fractured geothermal reservoir rocks. You will work closely with Glasgow
Geoenergy Observatory and have the opportunity to get access to the X-ray CT
scanner co-owned by the Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde. You will also
investigate the thermal response of crack-seal vein minerals. The outcome of
the project can be used as a benchmark for geoscientists, engineers, and
policymakers in further exploring and optimizing enhanced geothermal systems.
The project is original because it will be for the first time research that
considers the coupled flow processes in fractured and veined media under
geothermal reservoir conditions. With the results from this study, you will
provide timely and novel insights on the impact of the addition of natural
mineral veins and incipient rock joints on the geometrical and mechanical
properties of hydraulic fractures under geothermal reservoir conditions,
assess and highlight its implications for reducing unwanted seismicity in the
development of enhanced geothermal systems.
**Entry requirements and online application**
Applicants should hold first-class or upper second class degrees
(undergraduate or an MSc degree) in an area of Civil Engineering, Geotechnical
Engineering, Rock Mechanics, Geoscience, or other relevant areas. For
applicants whose first language is not English, you will need to meet the
minimum English requirement (IELTS 6.5, with no sub-bands less than 6.0, or
equivalent).

Liquid metal experimentalist |
_[Please apply through our Careers page_
Renaissance Fusion -the first magnetic confinement fusion company in the EU-
is currently prototyping two fusion-enabling technologies, with the goal of
fully demonstrating and commercializing them (albeit in non-fusion markets,
initially) within 3 years. The two technologies are (1) radically reinvented
High-Temperature Superconducting (HTS) magnets and (2) controllable, plasma-
facing liquid metal walls that will extract heat from the reactor, shield it
from neutrons and thus and prevent it from becoming radioactive. These
innovations will enable our own stellarator reactor design, form a versatile
cornerstone of the emerging fusion market (as they could be easily adapted to
tokamaks and other reactors) and find their way in other markets. We are
forming a team of the brightest, most driven scientists and engineers to
realize this vision within 11 years.
Here we are looking for a talented engineer, physicist or material-scientist
to sustain and stabilize thick, gravity-defying, free-surface liquid metal
flows. This will include the production of innovative alloys and components
such as special pumps for in-house experiments and, eventually, for production
and sales.
Our team is young, agile, international and based in the exciting city of
Grenoble, by the French Alps.
### Responsibilities:
* Individual research responsibilities
* Develop low-melting alloys with specific characteristics (melting point, density, viscosity, thermal, electrical and corrosion properties).
* Build pumps, substrates and other parts for ducted and free-surface liquid metal experiments.
* Prepare, conduct and analyze reduced-scale self-similar tests, and eventually full-scale demonstrations of gravity-defying, thick liquid metal flows in realistic geometries. This applies also to the solid substrate and to pebbles and corrosion by-products suspended in the liquid.
* Develop reactor-grade diagnostics of liquid metal properties, resolved in space and time. Properties include thickness, velocity and temperature. They also include the distribution of pebbles and Tritium.
* Develop actuators to control the liquid metal thickness and speed. Deliberately apply electromagnetic, mechanical and thermal perturbations. Prove passive, active and feedback stabilization, including in worst-case scenarios. Fine-tune turbulent spectrum: neither too little, nor too much.
* Identify non-fusion applications of liquid metal products and technologies.
* Responsibilities as a team member
* Work with physicists and engineers within the company, as well as external clients and collaborators, to identify experimental needs (flow-rate, thickness, thickness uniformity etc.) and translate them in adequate materials, designs and prototypes.
* Collaborate with numerical modelers on the prediction and interpretation of liquid metal flow measurements, including the equilibrium and stability of the coupled plasma-liquid metal system.
* Collaborate with material scientists and chemical engineers, e.g. on the prediction and interpretation of corrosion results.
* Give and receive advice to/from colleagues in other departments (Stellarator Engineering, HTS, Materials and Integration) on how to best integrate liquid metals with other materials (thermally, chemically and otherwise), and how to integrate parts and devices in the final product (mechanically, electromagnetically and otherwise).
* Participate in Tritium extraction and heat removal experiments with chemical, thermohydraulic, nuclear engineers and other colleagues. Demonstrate Tritium cycle and continuous operation of plasma-exposed breeder/blanket.
### Qualifications -essential:
* PhD degree in physics, nuclear, chemical or electrical engineering, materials science or related field, or, equivalently:
* Master’s degree + 2 years of research or professional experience, or
* Bachelor’s degree + 4 years of research or professional experience.
* 2 or more years of experimental research in one or more of the following topics: fluid dynamics, electrical engineering, metallurgy, control engineering.
* 6 months or more of experience in Computer Aided Design (CAD).
* Very good understanding of electromagnetism and fluid dynamics.
* Good written and oral communication skills.
* Ability to understand and clearly, concisely explain complicated technical concepts.
* Organizational and problem-solving skills, attention to detail and willingness to learn.
* Ability to work independently as well as in a team.
### Qualifications -desirable:
* Research experience in magnetohydrodynamics of plasmas and/or liquid metals.
* Research experience in multi-phase and/or multi-component flows.
* Experience in Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
* Coding experience in Python, Matlab or other programming language. |

Ph.D Fellowship in Mixed-Signal Microelectronics - Time-encoded audio MEMS
sensors optimized for edge-computing, European Industrial Doctorate |
DEADLINE EXTENDED
The Microelectronics group of Carlos III University of Madrid (Spain) and
Infineon Technologies Austria AG invite applicants for a PhD Fellowship in
Mixed-Signal Microelectronics. The research topic is VCO-based MEMS
microphones for wearables or portable devices. The target application is
ultralow power Voice Activated Detection or Keyword Detection module
integrated with a fully featured microphone in the same dice implemented in
nanometer CMOS technologies. The read-out circuit of the MEMS microphone will
provide to the edge computing block a frequency encoding of the voice signal.
The position is in the frame of a H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative
Training Networks (ITN) action for Early Stage Researchers within the project
TEVI (Time-Encoded Voice Interfaces). The position is vacant from april 2021.
The grant covers 3 years of full time research (50% time in Spain, 50% time in
Austria). Salary according to the Spanish and Austrian salary scales.
TEVI is aimed to propose new time-encoded techniques for low power solutions
towards smart audio sensors implemented with nanometric CMOS process nodes
including raw data processing, digitization, feature extraction and
classification. The Early Stage Researcher (PhD student, ESR) will be assigned
to the work package devoted for the design and implementation of raw data
processing of innovative MEMS microphones. The student will carry out research
tasks related to MEMS electrical modelling and experimental evaluation, audio
signal processing and mixed-signal microelectronics design, not only on
his/her own, but working with the students assigned to the other work packages
of TEVI. The research will involve both Carlos III University of Madrid and
Infineon Technologies Austria AG, so the student will spend half of the time
in Madrid (Spain) and half of the time in Villach (Austria) supervised by PhD
Advisors in each sector. Infineon technologies brings in the expertise in the
MEMS sensor market, in particular in microphones, where it is a world leader.
Carlos III University will bring in its expertise in VCO-based ADCs which has
been transferred to MEMS microphone industry in the past through previous EU
projects. The student will acquire expertise in interdisciplinary fields such
as MEMS technology, signal processing, Artificial Intelligence, low power
mixed signal microelectronics and transversal skills. The experience gained
through this PhD program is highly appreciated by semiconductor corporations,
providing him/her a valuable expertise background for a future career in the
microelectronics industry.
Wearable sensors has recently attracted the attention of the researchers due
to the high demand in the market for different applications, and many of them
requires working in adverse conditions, such as dust or wet conditions.
Sensing voice and audio for keyword spotting and voice detection in wet
conditions is a difficult task due to the attenuation of certain frequencies
in some sensors, or due to high noise in some others. The read-out circuit
plays also an important role in the whole solution. Time-encoding data
converters are scalable in narrow nodes, they occupy very small silicon area
and are very low-power. They can also bring an analog encoding of the signal
suitable for the feature extraction block. The main responsibility of the ESR
will be researching on most efficient time-encoding based systems for a set of
innovative audio sensors. The circuit will have an analog output for the
feature extraction block and digital output with raw data, balancing power
consumption and resolution. The whole system composed of sensor and time-
encoded read-out circuit will be optimized to have an efficient sensor for
edge computing in wearables. The ESR will need to participate in the sensor
electrical model development and evaluation, and take part in the whole
process of nanometric chip manufacturing, starting with the proposal of new
ideas/architectures at system level, going on with the proper design at
schematic level and translation to layout, and ending with experimental
measurements of prototypes in the laboratory related to power consumption,
noise rejection, and resolution.
Carlos III University of Madrid (Spain) was founded in 1989 and is currently
ranking 16th in Europe on QS Top 50 (young universities) Under 50 2020
ranking. Carlos III University of Madrid contributes to the improvement of
society through teaching of the highest quality and cutting-edge research in
line with stringent international guidelines. The fellowship will take place
(50%) in the School of Engineering, located in Leganes (Madrid).
Infineon Technologies is one of the leaders of the semiconductor market
worldwide, providing semiconductor solutions for automotive, industrial power
control, sensing and connected system sectors. Infineon Technologies ranked
the 10th largest semiconductor company worldwide in sales in 2020. The
fellowship will take place (50%) in the facilities of the company located in
Villach (Austria).

56386: PhD candidate in ionospheric physics (f/m/x) - The effect of sudden
stratospheric warmings on the variability of the ionosphere |
**Area of research:**
Other,PHD Thesis
**Part-Time Suitability:**
The position is suitable for part-time employment.
**Job description:**
The Institute for Solar-Terrestrial Physics focusses on the observation,
investigation and modelling of the near-Earth space weather. Space weather has
a decisive influence on the propagation of radio waves, which is used for
terrestrial and satellite-based communication as well as for satellite-based
navigation. In view of society's growing dependence on the accuracy,
availability and reliability of satellite-based radio systems, preventive
measures are needed to protect human life and technical systems from the
effects of space weather. The observation and modeling of the state of the
ionosphere, which are crucial components of these measures, have been carried
out at DLR's Neustrelitz site for many years.
Predicting the state of the ionosphere is a major challenge because it is
based on complex interactions among others between the middle neutral
atmosphere (10-100km) and the ionosphere, which need to be scientifically
investigated and described. Especially sudden stratospheric warmings, a
dramatic warming of the stratosphere (10-50km) of up to 80K within a few days
associated with reversal of the circulation (see figure), can drastically
modify the coupling between the middle atmosphere and the
thermosphere/ionosphere. These changes can be as severe as those caused by
geomagnetic storms and space weather.
Your mission is to study the influence of sudden stratospheric warmings on the
variability of the thermosphere/ionosphere especially at mid and high
latitudes. The effect on radio wave propagation will also be investigated. To
better understand the physical processes, local and global observations as
well as model data will be combined.
Your work performance will be 19.25 hours per week. The remuneration is 75% of
German TVöD group 13.
Your tasks will include:
* Researching the literature with the goal of critically evaluating proven and new mathematical methods and making them useful for your own work and deriving possible solutions for your own work
* Analysis of satellite observations, ionosonde and meteor radar data, reanalysis data, VLF and LF measurements and if necessary further data sets
* Determination of planetary waves in the middle atmosphere, which were generated in association with a sudden stratospheric warming
* Determination of ionospheric oscillations with characteristic properties of planetary waves
* Literature review of current knowledge regarding the association of ionospheric variations with stratospheric warming
* Investigation of the relationship between planetary waves generated by stratospheric warmings and ionospheric oscillations
* Characterize the effect of stratospheric warmings on the thermosphere/ionosphere and mid- and high-latitude radio wave propagation and determine the potential to predict it
* Publication of the results in scientific journals and presentation of the results at national and international conferences

Post-doctoral position in nonlinear photonics and frequency comb generation |
The Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne offers a post-doctoral
position in fiber lasers, frequency comb generation and nonlinear photonics in
the mid-infrared. The successful candidate will join the Photonics Department
at the LICB and develop new sources of coherent light around the wavelength of
2 µm.
Frequency comb generation is currently one of the most dynamic fields in
nonlinear photonics and laser physics, especially because of its numerous
application in spectroscopy and time-and-frequency metrology. Most of its
developments have been focused on the near-infrared, between 800 nm and 1550
nm. The goal of the project is to generate such combs in the 2 µm region using
two complementary approaches: either by generating a frequency comb in a
nonlinear on-chip microresonator, or with a pulsed thulium-based fiber laser.
The successful candidate will benefit from the expertise of our lab on
nonlinear optics in fibers and nanophotonics, and will be collaborating with
nanofabrication centrals. This position is proposed in the framework of the
Direc2 project, supported by the EIPHI graduate school. |

PhD position - Automated orchestration of distributed energy system model
workflows |
**Work group:**
IEK-3 - Techno-ökonomische Systemanalyse
**Area of research:**
PHD Thesis
**Job description:**
In order to address the climate change and achieve the internationally set
climate targets, the energy supply will have to undergo major changes in the
coming decades. What will the energy mix look like after the phasing out of
nuclear power and coal, and the expansion of renewable energies? Which
technologies will have to be introduced or further developed? What
consequences will result from the change in transportation? What could a
climate-neutral energy supply look like that makes economic sense and at the
same time offers sufficient security of supply?In order to be able to answer
these and other questions scientifically, numerous models are being developed
at the Institute of Energy and Climate Research - Techno-economic Systems
Analysis (IEK-3), in the research field of energy system analysis, with which
energy systems can be represented and examined. Energy system analysis faces
the challenge that a large number of complex models have been developed in the
past, which are very heterogeneous in their objectives, methods and level of
detail. It is therefore becoming increasingly difficult to identify the models
best suited to answer a specific research ques-tion and to understand their
respective differences and specificities.
**Your Job:**
First, you will design a semantic framework for the description and
categorization of energy system models and their underlying methods. Based on
this framework, you will describe the characteristics of selected models in
the context of a method and soft-ware catalog. To ensure the sustainability
and continuous extensibility of this catalog, it will be embedded in the
digital structures of the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG).On the basis of
ontology-based interface descriptions, you will identify suitable model
workflows resulting from model combinations in this context in addition to
individual models. In order to support the selection of a workflow, you will
develop technical and content-related comparison criteria as well as methods
for their measurement. Finally, the orchestration and computation of cross-
platform and distributed workflows will be automated as far as possible.
* Conception of a semantic framework for the description and categorization of energy system models and their underlying methods
* Development of a method and software catalog within the ORKG
* Use of ontologies to identify models and methods suitable for answering scientific questions
* Definition of content-related and technical criteria for the comparison of models and methods and development of procedures for their measurement
* Automation of model workflows using state-of-the-art software container technologies
**Your Profile:**
* Masters degree in computer science, information systems, engineering, mathematics or a comparable course of study, which you have completed with very good results
* Interest in energy technology and energy management issues
* Experience in modeling, simulation and optimization desirable
* Experience with ontologies, knowledge graphs or the Semantic Web desirable
* Good programming skills (preferably in Python)
* Independent and analytical working style within a project team
**Our Offer:**
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you
the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We offer ideal conditions
for you to complete your doctoral degree:
* Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure - optimal conditions for a success-ful and timely doctorate
* A highly motivated and international working group within one of the largest re-search institutions in Europe
* Participation in high-ranking organizations such as the International Energy Agen-cy
* Participation in project meetings and international conferences
* Further development of your personal strengths, e.g. through an extensive range of training courses and participation in interdisciplinary seminars including a certifi-cate
* Continuous professional supervision by your scientific supervisor
* Flexible working hours and the possibility to work from home
* Special support for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory
Service
* Usually a contract for a period of 3 years in the context of a PhD at the RWTH Aachen under support of Dr. Patrick Kuckertz
* Remuneration analogous to pay group 13 (75%) of the public sector collective agreement (TVöD-Bund) and additionally 60 % of a monthly salary as special payment („Christmas bonus“).

the 7nm FinFET gate length node. In this context, vertical integration is a
particularly attractive approach because of its intrinsic 3D nature. The
vertical NW (nanowire) array based transistor is a viable option to circumvent
both physical and design limitations while they are much easier to
manufacture. Therefore, new 3D logic architectures are mandatory (ANR LEGO
and H2020 PROACT FVLLMONTI

* To assess the technology roadmap improvements and the associated logic performance metrics
Indeed, within the LEGO and FVLLMONTI projects, partners will handle the
technological design of the device and innovative 3D logic blocks. IMS will
develop the associated test structures and make the link with the PDK compact
model. The here below job description will take place in the MODEL team which
features long experience in both domains. Therefore, there is a strong team
activity associated with the proposed position.
Job description
The candidate is required to work on different types of measurement and
simulation using dedicated softwares and instruments:
* Electromagnetic simulations (Ansys HFSS and Keysight ADS-Momentum) to design and analyze dedicated de-embedding test structures
* Use of Vectorial Network Analyzer (VNA) for on-wafer measurements, involving probe-tip calibration and device S-parameter measurements (Keysight IC-CAP)
* SPICE/VerilogA simulation for compact model parameter extraction using on-wafer measurement data of vertical nanowire transistors
* Possible interfacing with physical simulation using ’’Device Simulation Tools’’ for physical and electro-thermal simulation of vertical nanowire structures (Global TCAD Solutions softwares)
Requested technical skills
The list below is priority-ordered:
1. Strong knowledge and proven experience in electromagnetic simulation and tools (HFSS, Momentum)
2. Strong knowledge in high frequency electronics and instrumentation (VNA, calibration, de-embedding)
3. Knowledge of SPICE/VerilogA device modeling/simulation
4. Knowledge of programming and scripting (ICCAP) for measurement and data acquisition
5. Knowledge of physics of semiconductor devices
6. Optionally skilled at physical simulation and ’’Device Simulation Tools’’ (Silvaco, Synopsys)
Requested soft skills

Ph.D. positions in Computer Graphics and Computational Fabrication |
The Perception, Display, and Fabrication Group at the Università della
Svizzera italiana (USI) in Switzerland is looking for Ph.D. candidates to work
at the intersection of computer graphics, fabrication, and perception. The
project is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and will be carried
out by two Ph.D. students in a collaboration with external partners at the MIT
and the University of Toronto.
**Background:** Current multi-material 3D printers can deposit different
materials with extremely high precision, creating objects with unseen
geometrical details and mechanical properties. The freedom to create and to
customize previously impossible to fabricate objects makes additive
manufacturing a key enabler for many applications. At the same time, the
excellent capabilities of the fabrication devices open up many computational
challenges regarding designing printable objects which can fully exploit the
capabilities of these devices.
**Reachers goals:** The goal of this project is to develop new computational
fabrication techniques for creating and designing objects with complex
appearance and tactile properties. More precisely, we would like to provide
fine control over the look of the fabricated objects and how they feel when
investigated using touch. Achieving this goal requires new algorithms for
optimizing both the geometry of the objects as well as the distribution of 3D
printing materials within the volume of fabricated objects. In this work, we
will not limit our investigation to currently available 3D printers but will
consider custom fabrication techniques that can be integrated into 3D printers
in the future.
**Requirements** :
* Master’s degree in computer science or related field
* Interest, coursework, and research experience in at least one of the following areas: computer graphics, computational fabrication, appearance modeling and reproduction, haptics, geometry processing, machine learning
* Good math and programming skills
* Fluency in written and spoken English
**We offer:**
* Full-time position as a Ph.D. student at USI
* Collaboration and research visits at our research partners: MIT and University of Toronto
* Competitive salary in line with Swiss universities
* International, ambitious, and enthusiastic working environment
* Flexible starting date, but no later than spring 2022
**Applications:**
Applications should be sent to Piotr Didyk
([piotr.didyk@usi.ch](mailto:piotr.didyk@usi.ch)) with a subject starting with
the phrase “[Application]” and include:
* CV & statement of purpose
* transcripts of records, both Bachelor and Master’s degree
* complete list of publications, if any,
* contacts to 2-3 persons who agreed to write recommendation letters
**Consideration of applicants will begin June 1, 2021, and continue until the
positions are filled.**
**The Faculty of Informatics at the USI** is defined by its passion for
scientific research. Around 200 top researchers from around the world conduct
research in several computer science areas, with tens of millions of Swiss
francs in competitive funding obtained to date. Over the years, the Faculty
has become one of the leading research centers in Switzerland and an
international point of reference in many fields.
**Our group** conducts research in the fields of computational display and
computational fabrication. Our main goal is to combine computational
techniques with human perception and hardware design to create better display
and fabrication techniques. We are interested in everything related to new
display technologies, image/video processing, 3D printing, computational
fabrication, computer graphics, and human perception. We strive for excellence
in research publishing regularly at top computer graphics venues, such as ACM
SIGGRAPH.
**Lugano** is a city in southern Switzerland. The unique mixture of Swiss and
Italian culture together with surrounding the city lake and mountains create a

ESR 6: A Hybrid Prognostic Methodology for Aircraft Systems |
This PhD position is part of the “MOIRA” (MOnItoRing of large scale complex
technological systems) project, funded by the European Commission through the
H2020 “Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks” program (grant
number 955681).
Modern technological systems increase in scale and are becoming more and more
complex and sophisticated. Parallel, the revolution in electronics, digital
technology and communications have drastically modified and expanded the
physical diversity, scope, processing capabilities and complexity of the
monitoring equipment and infrastructure used. Millions of networked sensors
are being embedded in the physical world sensing, creating and communicating
data. The amount of data available for capturing has been exploding and the
era of Big Data is already here, as the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a
reality. The main question which arises is how, following which steps and with
which tools the data can be transformed to information and knowledge.
The objectives of MOIRA are:
i) the development of novel signal processing tools for the monitoring of
industrial processes based on machine learning methods applied on
heterogeneous time series,
ii) the application of data mining technologies for the estimation of Key
Performance Indicators which determine the operational profit,
iii) the conception, development and validation of methodologies for automated
monitoring of cyber physical system fleets,
iv) the multi sensor machine condition monitoring under variable operating
conditions.
The proposed MOIRA project brings together early-stage researchers and
experienced specialists from key players in academia and industry across
Europe covering different scientific disciplines and industrial stakeholders
from a broad range of backgrounds to optimally tackle the challenges ahead.
The MOIRA Fellows will be trained in innovative PhD topics as well as
receiving specific theoretical and practical education in the fields of
mechanical engineering and computer science, focusing towards the online early
accurate identification of abnormal incidents with minimum false alarms and
missed detections.
Program of the PhD
Within the context of the MOIRA project, the PhD student will develop a novel
hybrid prognostic methodology focusing on the assessment of the state of the
health of a system. The methodology will integrate physics-based and data-
driven prognostics models in order to enhance the prognostic accuracy,

PhD Position - Impact of High-Frequency Demand and Supply Fluctuations on
Energy System Design and Operation |
**Work group:**
IEK-3 - Techno-ökonomische Systemanalyse
**Area of research:**
PHD Thesis
**Job description:**
The transformation of the energy sector is a major challenge of the 21st
century. At the Institute of Energy and Climate Research - Techno-economic
Systems Analysis (IEK-3) we use large models to investigate the question, of
which technologies energy systems need to be composed in order to become both,
cost-efficient and environmnetally friendly.Become part of our international
research group and gain insights into the future of the energy sector. Not
only you can use your expertise to create prognoses on the future capacity
expansion, but also get an overview of different technologies and their
synergies.
**Your Job:**
Large energy system models optimize the size, allocation and operation of
components based on simplified assumptions and finite time steps. Most of the
models consider an hourly temporal resolution due to limited data availability
and computational limitations imposed by the optimization problem. However,
due to the coarse temporal resolution, it is not guaranteed that the optimized
energy systems as proposed by the model would be operatable in reality.
Therefore, the optimized models need to be tested for high-resolution time
series, which steadily gain importance due to a growing share of renewable
energy sources. Contribute significantly to the reliability of cutting-edge
energy system models by:
* Collecting data and statistical features for various demand and supply time series and creating a data synthesizer for high-frequency fluctuations for different technologies and locations
* Evaluating the quality of energy systems optimized based on coarse data by testing their operational feasibility for highly resolved data
* Investigating the dynamical limitations of system components in the subhourly domain (e.g. ramping, minimum downtime, etc.)
* Deriving statements on the reliability of current model predictions for future energy systems and quantifying their additional costs for guaranteeing their reliability based on your research findings
**Your Profile:**
* A master`s or comparable degree in natural sciences, engineering, economics, mathematics, computer science or a related field of studies.
* An interest for data science, data (de-)compression and the development of programming algorithms
* Basic knowledge in computer-aided optimization and simulation
* Fluent speaking and writing skills in English
* A high degree of autonomy and commitment
* A thorough and reliable working style
**Our Offer:**
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you
the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We offer ideal conditions
for you to complete your doctoral degree:
* A highly motivated working group as well as an international and interdisciplinary working environment in one of the largest research institutions in Europe.
* Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure
* Opportunity to participate in (international) conferences and project meetings
* Continuous professional support from your scientific supervisor
* 30 vacation days per year
* The possibility to access all computing resources via VPN and to work flexibly from home at any time
* A large research campus in the countryside, which offers the best opportunities for networking with colleagues as well as for sporting activities in addition to work
* Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service
* A structured doctoral program for you and your supervisors with a comprehensive range of continuing education and networking opportunities via the JuDocs doctoral platform ()
The position is initially for a fixed term of 3 years. Pay is above average
and in line with 75% of pay group 13 of the Collective Agreement for the
Public Service (TVöD-Bund). Further information on doctoral degrees at

_CONFIRM- Science Foundation Irelands Centre of Smart Manufacturing_
CONFIRM’s vision is to transform and grow Irish manufacturing by integrating
intelligence within products, machines, production systems and supply chains.
Smart Manufacturing has been defined as “the intelligent, real‐time
orchestration and optimisation of physical (people & equipment), digital and
business processes within factories and across the entire value chain”. This
systems-level approach differentiates CONFIRM from other manufacturing
initiatives, many of which focus on disparate challenges such as 3D printing,
advanced materials, continuous processing, autonomous vehicles, etc. While
these are important topics for discrete industry sectors and product
portfolios, we believe that adopting a systems-level approach offers the
greatest potential for significant advances and impact across multiple
manufacturing sectors.

Post-doctoral researcher |
**Project leader:** Anna Beroun (Neuronal Plasticity Lab)
Project title: Nencki-EMBL Center of Excellence for Neural Plasticity and
Brain Disorders: BRAINCITY
Project is carried out within the MAB/IRA programme of the Foundation for
Polish Science
**Scope of the project:**
Synaptic plasticity of appetitive learning
Within the Nencki-EMBL Center of Excellence for Neural Plasticity and Brain
Disorders: BRAINCITY, our research focuses on synaptic plasticity that occurs
during the formation of appetitive memory. We plan to understand the cellular
mechanisms that underlie memory formation, focusing on central amygdala – a
structure recently implicated in processing appetitive memory. We plan to
define the role of silent synapses during the acquisition and retrieval of
appetitive memories. Silent synapses are immature contacts, that represent the
brain’s increased capacity to learn. They have been proved instrumental to the
development of extremely durable forms of appetitive memory, such as cocaine
and alcohol addiction. To study the formation and fate of silent synapses in
the amygdalar complex we will involve the use of
optogenetics/pharmacogenetics, electrophysiological recordings and/or
functional imaging (in-vivo, two-photon calcium imaging).
Postdoctoral candidates are welcome to propose their own research project,
that would be complementary to our research.

**Key responsibilities of the Postdoctoral Researcher include:**
* Planning and conducting experimental work
* Data analysis
* Manuscript preparation
* Supervision of PhD students |

PhD Position F/M "BIOMIMETISM AND BIOINSPIRATION OF A SNAKE'S ANGUILLIFORM
SWIMMING : NUMERICAL TWIN AND MACHINE LEARNING" |
This thesis work is part of a larger ANR project (Dragon II) in which
biologists, fluid mechanicists, mathematicians and roboticians collaborate.
The thesis will be carried out in alternation between Inria Bordeaux - Sud-
Ouest (Memphis team) and the PPRIME Institute in Poitiers (Curiosity team).
**Context of this study**
The flapping of a bird's wings, the movement of a fish's fins, or the
undulation of an eel's or snake's body produce one of the most complex and
efficient means of locomotion and propulsion to be found in nature.
The performance of aquatic locomotion is closely related to the circulation of
fluid around the body of the animal and mainly to the intensity of the flow
induced downstream from the tail and its characteristics. This developing wake
consists of a Von Karman vortex street whose vortices are emitted periodically
with each beat of the tail. The way the tail moves in the fluid (angle of
attack, amplitude, frequency ...) determines the swimming performance. Animals
can adjust their swimming kinematics to optimize performance. Different
criteria can define performance, such as energy efficiency, maximum speed
(prey-predator system), or furtivity. The body shape and tribological
properties of the skin, which influence the thrust and drag produced by
swimming animals, must be taken into account.
The central objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development of a
numerical model based on real data such as geometry, kinematics, skin texture
(data-driven numerical modeling) in order to simulate the complex phenomena of
unsteady fluid-structure interaction (FSI), involved in the eel-like swimming
within an incompressible viscous flow in the presence of a free surface.
Therefore, from the kinematic and velocimetric data that characterize snake
swimming, we will identify the hydrodynamic mechanisms that will allow us to
estimate the efficiency of this swimming in terms of propulsive force and
energy efficiency. Figure 1 shows preliminary simulations performed with the
NaSCar code (which will be used as a basis in this thesis) using synthetic
data (not measured in situ).
Biomimetism and bioinspiration are emerging fields of scientific research that
tend to understand and then draw inspiration from the physical mechanisms
implemented by nature in order to apply them in a technological context
(drones for example). We can expect that the different parameters involved in
the characterization of a physical process have been optimized by nature after
millions of years of evolution. The anguilliform swimming is characterized by
a certain number of parameters which define the undulatory kinematics of this
swimming (amplitude and frequency of the oscillating movement, longitudinal
and transverse, induced by the body of the snake). Adjusting, these different
input parameters, we will optimize the propulsive force and the energy
efficiency that result from this kinematics. Machine learning techniques will
be used to determine the optimal parameters to maximize the propulsive force
and energy efficiency. It will be of interest to asses wether nature has been
able to propose an optimal solution from an energy point of view.
**Research program, methodologies and implemented means**
Partially immersed snakes raise specific challenges; numerical simulation will
require the use of methods that couple free surface flow analysis with fluid-
structure interaction. The fluid flow around the deformable structure (snake
body) is dictated by the motion of the structure. Conversely, the structure
itself is influenced by the forces exerted by the moving fluid.
In the first part of this thesis, numerical developments will be conducted to
couple an immersed boundary method (IBM) to take into account the motion of
the snake and a method to treat the free surface (Level Set method), all in a
context of fluid-structure interaction with backward coupling. The NasCar
code, developed at Inria Bordeaux, can be used as a basis for future
developments. This first part of the project is essentially based on the use
of numerical modeling tools to provide initial answers to fundamental
questions.
* In a first step and in a simplified approach, we will use an inclined and partially immersed ellipsoidal cylinder to mimic the flow around the head of a snake swimming at the surface. The cylinder will be animated by a transverse and longitudinal sinusoidal motion, typical of swimming snakes. The purpose is to elucidate the underlying physical mechanisms that generate the propulsive force, which is a key element to address the persistent problem of swimming efficiency.
* In a second step, we will encompass the full complexity of this problem, considering a snake in its entirety (head, body and tail) having immersed part or all of its body. We will try to determine the propulsive force and the energy efficiency that will result from a geometry of the snake body and a kinematics of the swim that will be enforced. Preliminary results are obtained in figure 1. Improvements to these results will be required.
From videos made on real snakes, we shall extract the kinematics of the real
swimming (to decouple the movement imposed by the snake from the hydrodynamic
effects), we shall determine the geometry of the snake’s body when it is
immersed (the effect of buoyancy modifies the geometry), and we shall model
the influence of the texture of the skin of the snake. Thus from real data
obtained from experiments carried out jointly by the experimentalists
associated with this project we will be able to create a numerical twin.
Finally, in the last part of the thesis, different innovative control
strategies based on machine learning methods (machine learning, genetic
algorithms) will be applied to identify the optimal swimming conditions that
maximize the snake's propulsive force.
A strong link will be maintained with the experimentalists of the project and
experimental data on the swimming of real snakes and bio-inspired robots will
be provided to validate the numerical model. The candidate will participate in
measurement campaigns at the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie
Industrielles in Paris, at the Institut PPRIME in Poitiers and at the Centre
d'Etudes Biologiques in Chizé. |

PhD Position F/M Advanced numerical schemes to understand SeismoElectric
Effects and improve the characterization of geological reservoirs |
The SEE4GEO (Seismoelectric Effects for Geothermal Resources Assessment and
Monitoring) project brings together an international team composed of
researchers of Laurence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL, USA), the
University of Hawaï at Manoa (UHM, USA), NORCE (Norway), TLS Geothermics
(France), and the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour (UPPA, France). The
objective of the project is to develop a subsurface imaging technique based on
seismoelectric effects technique (SEE), which is a new and innovative approach
for geothermal subsurface imaging and monitoring at reservoir scale. We will
assess SEE in terms of data acquisition, cost and quality, and determine its
capability in comparison with classical imaging and monitoring techniques,
particularly decoupled seismic and electromagnetic methods. We will focus on
developing new numerical tools for forward and inverse modeling, and inform on
optimized field survey, data acquisition and processing for deployment in many
other exploration projects in case of success.
In the framework of this project, UPPA proposes two PhD positions:
* Numerical analysis: the PhD student will be involved in developing a fast, true 3D numerical package, handling SEE modeling, imaging and subsurface properties characterization, including resistivity and permeability. Identified scientific and technical challenges will be related to the diffusive and attenuated nature of SEE signals. Numerically, this will imply extra care for stability of our algorithms for forward and inverse calculations.
* Experimental analysis: the PhD student will be involved in developing laboratory experiments. The goal of the study will be defining the best experimental setup for detecting permeable zones in geothermal systems. It will be led with a geophysical approach, including theoretical and instrumental analyses.
Seismoelectric effects are a pore-scale phenomenon relying on electric charge
separation created by streaming currents generated by pressure gradients,
which occur when a seismic wave propagates (Ivanov, 1939). This defines
seismic-to-electric conversion. The propagating seismic wave generates an
electrical current, which in turn induces an electrical field. This electrical
field is often referred to as a coseismic field, propagating with the seismic
wave. When this coseismic field is disrupted by a heterogeneity (due to e.g.,
a mechanical, electrical, or pore-fluid contrast), an electric dipole is
created, triggering an independently diffusing EM field that is
instantaneously detectable and provides information at depth, and is referred
to as the so-called interface response field. Although the signal-to-noise
ratio of the converted seismic-to-electric signals can be challenging, SEE
dataset can capture unique information on important geothermal reservoir
properties and heterogeneities, such as resistivity, salinity, degree of
saturation and viscosity (e.g., Smeulders et al., 2014), as opposed to purely
seismic or purely electromagnetic records. Moreover, the SEE interface
response fields created at changes in properties can detect thin layers and
other fine-scaled structural features such as fractures beyond the seismic
resolution (e.g., Grobbe and Slob, 2016).
The objective of the thesis is to design an imaging technique based on SEE and
to develop an imaging software on top of our direct simulation tool. In Luo et
al. (2009) and Zhu et al. (2009), the authors show how an impedance kernel
based on seismic signal measurements, can be used to generate an image of the
subsurface and help identify material discontinuities and salt dome
boundaries. This first‐order, direct use of seismic Fréchet derivatives is
closely related to the popular imaging principle introduced by Claerbout
(1971) in exploration geophysics. However, thin fluid‐saturated layers or
highly permeable fractures are difficult to detect using seismic imaging.
Likewise, EM-based full waveform inversion is unable to infer high resolution
structural features due to the low-frequencies required for geothermal
reservoir scale imaging, and predominantly provides smooth, low-resolution
images of subsurface fluid distribution.
The host team has developed a software able to model SEE in frequency domain,
which allows for the consideration of a wide variety of parameters, and more
importantly, to take full account of the seismoelectric effects. The
mathematical model combines Biot’s and Maxwell’s equations following Pride’s
theory (Pride 1994). It is discretized using Discontinuous Galerkin (DG),
which have proven their efficiency to solve wave problems in complex media
(Bonnasse-Gahot et al. 2018, Barucq et al. 2021). Besides being easy to
implement in a massively parallel environment, they are h-p adaptive, which
allows to reduce the computational costs while keeping a high level of
accuracy. This is of great interest, particularly since the problem to be
solved is multi-scale, combining electromagnetic and seismic wavelengths in
the same simulation. This software will be the starting point of the software
developments made during the thesis.
The first step will be to work on solving the forward problem with the aim of
reducing the associated computational costs. This one uses computational
resources that must be optimized before moving on to the resolution of the
inverse problem in 3D. For that, we propose to investigate the following
ideas:
* The computational costs can be reduced by having a coarse mesh and it is well-known that large high-order cells perform better than small low order cells. However, the geometry of the geophysical domain along with the heterogeneities of the physical properties do not always allow to consider coarse elements. Regarding the heterogeneities, they can be considered with physical parameters varying as polynomials inside each cell. As far as the topography is concerned, hp adaptivity of DG discretizations is an interesting asset. As a first milestone of the workplan, all these approaches will be combined to guarantee to the forward problem both accuracy and rapidity of execution. This is mandatory for performing 3D inversions.
* Domain decomposition is a key ingredient in the solution of large-scale wave problems in the frequency domain. In same time, domain decomposition is a natural candidate for solving wave problems with a very large number of sources that do not create disturbances on the whole domain but rather in a truncated domain defined by their propagation cone. Domain decomposition will be implemented by taking advantages of the DG framework that provides natural transmission conditions between subdomains.
* The host team has developed a full waveform inversion (FWI) piece of software which is based on the adjoint method. Here, the question is to figure out if this piece of software can be extended to Pride equations in 3D. This development will benefit from the already installed framework for 3D elastic equations. This part of the workplan requires a lot of work that will be done in a team effort. A first step will be to carry out 2D imaging and inverse capability based upon adjoint method and assess the ability of the code to retrieve parameters of interest (e.g., permeability, resistivity, etc.) on synthetic cases. This study will help determine optimized monitoring configurations for SEE full waveform inversion. Then the possibility of having 3D versions will be addressed. This is a crucial question: FWI requires the solution of a huge linear system which might be prohibitive to conduct in 3D poroelastic media. Hence, it will be necessary to decide, by conducting some numerical experiments, if time-harmonic FWI can be used for 3D inversion or if a time-domain strategy should be preferred. This will be done in collaboration with LLNL. |

PhD scholarship (4 years) on muon tomography |
The center for Cosmology, Particle Physics and Phenomenology
([CP3](https://uclouvain.be/en/research-institutes/irmp/cp3)) of the
Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium)
invites applications for one position aimed to obtain a Ph.D. in experimental
particle physics, funded for four years.
The research project, under the primary supervision of [Andrea
Giammanco](https://cp3.irmp.ucl.ac.be/public/member/47/en), will be in the
area of "muon tomography", or "muography", i.e. an imaging method that
exploits the large natural flux of muons from cosmic-ray interactions in the
atmosphere. For general information on this relatively young research area,
see a recent review [here](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.revip.2020.100038); for
specific information on the CP3-muography team, please have a look
[here](https://cp3-git.irmp.ucl.ac.be/muographycp3/public-material). This
project will also overlap with the research goals of the MODE consortium (see
[webpage](https://mode-collaboration.github.io/) and [this brief
article](https://doi.org/10.1080/10619127.2021.1881364)), i.e. automatic
optimization of the design of experiments.
The selected candidate will receive full funding through the H2020-RIA project
"SilentBorder" funded by the European Commission. The aim of "SilentBorder" is
to design new scanners and/or propose new methods, based on the principles of
muography, for the detection of illicit materials in specific case studies
where traditional scanning methods are inadequate or insufficient. The main

PhD Position on Energy Systems Modeling - Industrial decarbonization and
representation of infrastructure in energy system models |
Our energy system is undergoing drastic changes in an aim towards
decarbonization. On the generation side, we face rapidly increasing shares of
intermittent renewable energy sources (RES) like wind and solar photovoltaics.
Currently, carbon capture, utilization and storage, and the generation and use
of synthetic fuels (such as H2 or other molecules) are also prominently on the
research agenda. Especially regarding the decarbonization of industry, these
might play a critical role. Long-term energy system optimization models are
often used to gain insight in the corresponding challenges (technical,
economic, policy) and explore possible pathways. Based on a number of
assumptions, such models determine a least cost pathway of the energy system
under imposed boundary conditions. Focus historically has been mostly on the
representation of the electricity generation sector, with only
limited/simplified representation of industry. We currently have (at least)
one PhD position available in this domain, with focus on industrial
decarbonization and the representation of infrastructure (electricity grids
and molecules transport) in energy system optimization models. Through this
research, we aim to better represent industry, with various decarbonization
options and possible ‘system integration’ synergies. Towards this end, various
energy carriers need to be accounted for (electricity, heat, natural gas,
synthetic molecules, CO2), together with the required network infrastructure
these require. The use of such models needs to be further scrutinized, given
prevailing/future markets and policies (such as EU ETS). Towards this end
single optimization models might be complemented with other approaches (e.g.,
data-analysis/data-driven approaches, equilibrium modeling, GIS tools). This
position will be funded by a VITO-scholarship and/or by research projects such
as PROCURA (Power to X and Carbon Capture & Utilization Roadmap for Belgium,
which focus on the role of power-to-X in multi-energy systems and markets).
The PhD candidate can start from existing energy systems models and dedicated
expertise available in the research group, and will collaborate with other
research group members. |

Postdoc in data assimilation for fluid mechanics (ONERA, France) |
Title: Measurement optimization for flow reconstruction (postdoc)
Location : ONERA, France
Starting date : January 2022
Duration : up to 18 months
Experimental fluid dynamics is by essence the most appropriate way of
investigating real-world flows for both academic and industrial purposes, and
allows to study the behavior of fluids in complex geometries and can provide
useful information for aeronautic design. However, measurements from
experiments are usually sparse in space and/or time and do not provide a full
description of the flow. In order to overcome this limitation, data
assimilation techniques are more and more employed to merge experimental
measurements with numerical simulation, allowing to extrapolate the
measurements, denoise them and improve their resolution [1,2]. A popular data
assimilation technique is the so-called variational, or adjoint-based,
approach where data assimilation is formulated as an optimal control problem
in which one wants to minimize the discrepancies between experimental
measurements and the results of a numerical simulation by adjusting its input
parameters, such as initial/boundary condition or model parameters [3,4]. The
thus optimized simulation can provide an augmented prediction of the
considered flow with respect to the available measurements.
The first main objective of this postdoctoral project is to rigorously assess
the possibilities of mean flow reconstruction through data assimilation from
pressure and/or friction distribution measurements over wall boundaries, which
is representative of many wind tunnel experiments. Actual experimental
measurements for flows around airfoils at Re_c between 5000 and 50000 or above
will be considered. In a second step, locations of pressure/friction sensors
will be optimized in order to enhance the performances of the data
assimilation procedure. The developed methodologies should help the design of
future wind tunnel experiments to better take advantage of the reconstruction
and extrapolation capacities of data assimilation. Both the data assimilation
procedure and optimization of the measurement process steps will be
implemented in in-house ONERA codes.

Statistical Learning of the Intestinal Microbiota MEtabolism in Space and
Time. This project consists in **two postdoc positions** : one scientist with
a systems biology background, and a second with an applied mathematical
background. Both scientists will work in close collaboration on an exciting
project aiming at building a spatio-temporal numerical model of the gut
microbiota. This particular offer concerns the **applied mathematician**
**profile**.
The main objective of the SLIMMEST project is to resolve a numerical
bottleneck in **spatio-temporal modeling of microbiotas** : the **coupling
between microbe-scale** **metabolic models with community-scale dynamics
described with PDE models**. The recruited person will develop **machine
learning technics** to build approximations of complex metabolic models **to
be used as a source function of a PDE model of the gut microbiota**. The
candidate will work in close collaboration with the other postdoc providing
expertise in system biology, microbial metabolism, and community-wide
metabolic network modeling.
The two recruited candidates will be members of the Pleiade team, a joint
research group between Inria and [INRAE](https://www.inrae.fr/en), in the
beautiful city of **Bordeaux**. [Pleiade](https://team.inria.fr/pleiade/) is
an **interdisciplinary group** at the frontier of **computer science,
mathematics, bioinformatics and biology**. One of our main research interests
is to develop and validate new computational and numerical models for
microbial ecology, that we dedicate to better understand the complex
interactions occurring in complex communities of microorganisms known as
microbiotas.
**Assignments:**
The **dynamics of a microbial community** is driven by the metabolism of its
microorganisms, the interactions between those microorganisms, and spatio-
temporal interactions between them and the environment. Mathematical and
computational models of such dynamics are crucial to **build mechanistic
hypotheses of the biological observations, as well as predict the evolution of
the ecosystems, and actions to lead ecosystems in a desired state**. SLIMMEST
will combine logic programming and metamodelling of metabolism in a scalable
framework applied to communities of the gut microbiota.
This position is dedicated to the application of a **machine learning method**
(RKHS metamodeling) to approximate metabolic quantitative models of microbial
metabolism, known as FBA models (Orth et al.). The main goal is to provide
**very fast and accurate approximations of metabolic model outputs** to be
used as a source function of a PDE model of the gut microbiota. The idea is to
adapt existing RKHS metamodeling methods in the context of metabolic modeling.
Several options will be studied to improve the speed and quality of metamodel
computation, including dimension reduction, HPC methods and incorporation of
biological knowledge, in close collaboration with the other postdoc of the
SLIMMEST project. After learning of the metabolic models, a PDE model of a
simplified murine gut microbiota (Lagkouvardos et al.) will be developed and
analysed in collaboration with the second postdoc.

reduction of metabolic models for a community**. The purpose is to simplify
the metabolism of an ecoystem by **targeting crucial functions that are main
drivers of the ecosystem**. The results will be used in mathematical models by
the second postdoc scientist of the project.
For that purpose, we must **model the metabolism of bacteria** from their
genome, and connect metabolic networks to the available literature resources
on pathways of interest such as short-chain fatty acid production. The
**simplification of the community** metabolism will be performed by
**modelling constraints and solving combinatorial optimisation problems**. In
addition, the successful candidate will contextualise the results of community
metamodelling back to metabolic networks. The first application of the project
will be a model of the murine gut microbiota, with expectations to
successfully scale up the size of the community during the project.

Mechanical characterization of micro-tissues for tissue engineering |
New tissue engineering strategies rely on the use of small 'micro-tissues',
small semi-autonomous and self-organized cellular assemblies. Acting as small
building blocks, larger artificial tissues can be created by combining these
micro-tissues using techniques such as bioprinting. The predictable and
modular behavior of these micro-tissues render them practicable for
application in engineering purposes. However, in order to incorporate micro-
tissues in a translational engineering strategy, we need to have adequate
‘living material models’ that take into account the active properties of the
underlying cells as they undergo differentiation. The main goal of this
project is to develop a practical framework for the mechanical
characterization of micro-tissues used for artificial tissue production, an
emerging paradigm in the field of tissue engineering.
The applicant will make use of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), a high
resolution technique that measures local mechanical forces from the deflection
of a cantilever. You will perform AFM measurements on micro-tissues from adult
progenitors (hPDCs and iPS) at different stages of chondrogenic
differentiation. From AFM measurements, you will obtain the apparent visco-
elastic properties of the multicellular material, as it changes during
development. By comparing these results to computer simulations, you will help
reveal the cell-scale properties that are associated with the biological
outcome of the engineered tissue.
Moreover, the applicant will quantify the interaction forces between micro-
tissues and their environment. For this, you will make use of Traction Force
Microscopy (TFM). In TFM, forces between the micro-tissue and the environment
are reconstructed based on the displacement of fluorescent beads embedded in
the substrate. Based on these AFM and TFM characterizations, you will be able
to tune the biomaterials and the parameters of the production process in order
to accommodate robust and viable engineered tissues. |

PhD position in applied neurophotonics and translational neuroscience for
treatment of psychiatric and neurological diseases with brain network
dysfunction |
**Project Description**
While the pharmaceutical arena has focused on specific molecular targets to
which the drug binds, such as an enzyme or receptor through a well-defined
mechanism of action (MOA), this project focuses on targeting the dynamic
electrical network of the brain as disease-modifying mode of action (MoA).
Specifically, by using an external stimulus for therapeutic use we intend to
investigate how to move a diseased brain network towards a healthy network
state by driving the system. External stimulation of an oscillating network
forms a natural extension to reductionistic pharmacological intervention which
aims at targeting one specific component of the oscillating network. Thus,
this macroscopic approach with a yet unexplored MoA holds enormous potential.
We are looking for a PhD-student for an exciting project to investigate how
time-modulated light affects the brain with the goal of using light as a form
of treatment of diseases associated with brain network dysfunction.
In this project, the PhD-student will design, conduct, and analyze a series of
pilot studies within psychiatric and neurological diseases with brain network
dysfunction utilizing a light-based non-invasive neurostimulation system from
Optoceutics. Additionally, the PhD-student will design, develop, implement,
and test a new optical fiber system for optogenetic, and light therapy
experiments conducted through secondments to partner and beneficiaries in
ASTROTECH. The PhD-student will explore new targeted therapeutic approaches to
control and manipulate the diseased brain network towards a health state of
the brain network. The success of the project will heavily rely on the
practical work regarding design, conduction, and analysis of clinical trials,
and the PhD-student will here learn, not limited to, how to run clinical
trials, apply advanced analysis of electrophysiological signals from
electroencephalography (EEG) recordings as well as functional Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Additionally, through secondments to partner and
beneficiaries within the ASTROTECH consortium, understand and relate the role
of astrocytes on network dysfunction and light induced impact on pathology
through in vivo and ex vivo pilot experiments. Specifically, the PhD student
will work, in close collaboration with a Danish medical doctor who will be
responsible for contact with patients and healthy volunteers. The host
institution where the PhD-student will be enrolled to obtain a doctoral degree
is the Department of Clinical Research, University of Copenhagen. The main
university supervisor is physicist, Prof. Paul Michael Petersen from the
Technical University of Denmark, Department of Photonics Engineering. The co-
supervisor is Prof. Troels W. Kjær, Neurologist at the Zealand University
Hospital and Prof. at the Dept. of Clinical Research. The employment of the
industrial PhD is through Optoceutics ApS, and the main company supervisor is
the Marcus S. Carstensen, CTO at OptoCeutics.

14 PARTNERS)**
ASTROTECH is cross-sectorial EU research consortium with the aim of developing
disruptive materials, technologies & approaches to unravel the role of
Astrocytes in brain function and dysfunction: towards to Glial interfaces. The
past four decades demonstrated that non-neuronal cells, called astrocytes are
emerging as crucial players for brain function & dysfunction. A major obstacle
of previous and current initiatives on neurotechnologies is a lack of focus on
astrocytes and most of the tools used to probe and sense astrocytes are
derived from those developed to study neurons. ASTROTECH will create and
develop the field of Glial Engineering, to provide a consistent range of tools
to record, study, and manipulate astrocytes in the healthy and diseased brain.
ASTROTECH will train 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) on research, training
and complimentary skills aiming at: engineering biomaterials and
nanostructured interfaces to provide in vivo-like in vitro models for
controlled & reliable studies of astrocytes in vitro; fabrication and
characterization of nanostructured devices for stimulation, recording and
biosensing of astrocytes; optogenetics tools, optoelectronic device & photonic
methods for precise and cell selective stimulation of astrocytes;
computational approaches to describe and predict neuron-astrocytes
interactions. The training on state-of-the-art biomaterials interfaces,
electronic, photonic devices will be combined with in depth knowledge on
optogenetics, neuroscience, glial physiology and biology and computational
methods to validate the developed tools in vitro, ex vivo, in silico & in
pathological models of glioma, ischemia, epilepsy and depression. The

Post-doctoral appointment (PHOTONUC project at CEA) |
Photonuclear reactions in Monte-Carlo simulation (PHOTONUC)
One-year post-doctoral appointment at CEA Paris-Saclay center, 2021 - 2022
### Contacts & applications:

##
## Introduction
Monte-Carlo simulation is the reference tool for the simulation of particle
transport in the field of nuclear instrumentation, for applications concerning
the calibration and design of detectors in power reactors, waste monitoring,
or nuclear safeguards. In this context, the CEA is developing the TRIPOLI-4®
code and the DIANE code, which simulate the transport of electrons, positrons,
photons and neutrons [1-4]. To date, very few benchmarks exist to qualify
codes in the energy field of interest for photonuclear reactions.
Preliminary work to compare TRIPOLI-4®, DIANE and MCNP started in 2019 at CEA,
involving the Paris-Saclay center and the CEA/DAM, in the framework of the
PHOTONUC project. This work consisted in using a few simple configurations
resulting from the experiments of Barber and Georges [5], which are one of the
rare experiments allowing the validation of photonuclear reactions. These
experiments are still used today to validate photonuclear data: see for
example [6-8]. Unfortunately, they are marred by an uncertainty of about 15%
for each measurement.
This first comparison between TRIPOLI-4®, DIANE and the MCNP6 code highlighted
large deviations, especially for heavy nuclei.
In order to single out these effects and identify the origin of these
deviations, we also computed the particle fluxes as a function of the
detection energy and carried out calculations with a source of photons (by
simulating only the photons and neutrons) and with an electron source (by
simulating only electrons, positrons and photons, ie without photonuclear
reactions). These preliminary comparisons showed that the differences came
mainly from the modeling of the electromagnetic shower. In the case of an
electron-free configuration, a small difference in the number of neutrons
detected was observed, but a significant difference in the photon spectrum was
clearly demonstrated.
## Scientific goals and work plan
Thus, in order to refine the comparisons and understand the origin of the
observed differences, as part of the PHOTONUC project we plan to examine the
particle production according to each physical phenomenon, in order to
estimate the effect of the models chosen by each of the codes. Special focus
will be on the photonuclear reactions, in view of their central role in
relating neutron and photon physics. The modeling choices (for example,
grouped collisions for electrons, etc.) will be carefully examined and probed.
For this purpose, CEA will hire a post-doc for a period of 12 months, starting
from Fall 2021 (and no later than January 2022). The post-doc will be based in
the CEA Paris-Saclay center, and will be co-supervised between the CEA/Saclay
team and the CEA/DAM team.
In order to carry out the project, the proposed work program is as follows:
1 / Investigate the state of the art on the simulation of the electromagnetic
shower. Getting started with MCNP6 and TRIPOLI-4® codes and their simulation
choices with regard to the electromagnetic shower and photonuclear reactions.
Modeling of the set of Barber and Georges experiments.
2 / Identification of nuclei and energy ranges for which significant
differences exist between the codes. Identification of the models and
algorithms responsible for these deviations. Models stemming from codes having
state-of-the-art highly sophisticated physical models (for example GEANT4 [9]
or PENELOPE [11]) will also be examined in order to confirm the observations.
A sensitivity analysis on the parameters of these models will be carried out
in order to study the effect on the result of the various parameters, using
the URANIE platform [10].
3 / If needed, choice and implementation of improved models. Based on these
results, it is desirable, as far as possible, to harmonize the implementation
and modeling choices adopted in the codes.
## Contacts and applications
The PHOTONUC post-doctoral offer covers 12 months, starting from Fall 2021 or
early 2022 at the latest. Applications are now open. To apply, please contact

and Prof. Doris Wilflingseder you will work on the topic of "Metabolic iron
changes during SARS-CoV-2 infection _in vitro_ ".
Excessive inflammation triggered by a hitherto undescribed mechanism is a
hallmark of severe SARS-CoV-2 infections and is associated with enhanced
pathogenicity and mortality. 88% of COVID-19 patients illustrate metabolic
iron changes during infection with SARS-CoV-2.
Our groups have long-standing expertise in studying in detail infectious
diseases and host-pathogen interactions taking into account the complement
system. Further, the Wilflingseder lab has established a primary, human
pseudostratified 3D respiratory epithelial/immune model over the last years.
This model is very versatile, since innate and adaptive components of the
immune system can be easily added. During the last year, the Weiss and
Wilflingseder labs successfully expanded novel variants of SARS-CoV-2 patient
isolates and worked on various projects resulting in high impact publications
on SARS-CoV-2 interactions and therapeutic interventions (Posch et al., 2021a,
b, c; Lafon et al., in revision).
The successful PhD student should have a background in advanced cell biology
and/or immunology to perform exciting research questions on deregulated host
iron homeostasis, involvement of complement in SARS-CoV-2-mediated type I IFN
response of infected tissues and on the connection of iron homeostasis, host
metabolism, innate antiviral immune responses and complement functionality.
State-of-the-art methods will be used (multi-parameter flow cytometry, high
content screening, multiplex PCR). To tackle this complex task with an
important translational impact, we are looking for a highly motivated PhD
student. We offer a broad and stimulating environment of various disciplines
since our institutes host several labs such as category 3 laboratory for virus
work, molecular immunology lab and screening facilities.

PhD Candidate for Characterisation of Atomic-scale Charge and Magnetic Order
in Novel 2D Materials |
_Since the discovery of graphene, a non-magnetic, semi-metallic 2D material,
the search has been going on for novel 2D semiconducting and magnetic
materials for new material systems for energy-efficient technologies. As a
**PhD candidate** , you will investigate atomic-scale magnetic order in
different quantum phases of novel 2D magnetic materials, and shed light on the
role of the electron-electron interactions in these quantum phases._
Recently, 2D ferromagnetism was reported within a single layer of
semiconducting or insulating materials, for example in transition metal
halides (1,2). However, the atomic-scale magnetic order and the role of
electron correlations in these materials classes are barely understood.
You will investigate the atomic-scale magnetic order along with the geometric
structure in novel 2D magnetic materials. You will use various STM and AFM
methods, in particular the worldwide unique combination of SP-STM and magnetic
exchange force microscopy (called SPEX) that we have recently developed in our
department (3,4). You will join a young and innovative team of experienced
researchers and technicians and work within cutting-edge UHV-based cryogenic
SPM facilities, and perform high-precision spectroscopic and magnetic
measurements. You will carry out experiments, both independently and in a
team.

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION – Investigation of a novel nanomedicine technology for
the regeneration of articular cartilage and the treatment of osteoarthritis |
The BioTARGen laboratory – Normandie University Unicaen, France, is inviting
applications for a post-doctoral position (100%, 2 years) to work on
innovative nanomedicine for the treatment of osteoarthritis and regeneration
of articular cartilage. The project is supported by the European innovative
research and technological development projects in nanomedicine program
(EuroNanoMed 3), together with 4 international partners expert in molecular
biology, biomedical/chemical engineering, physics and clinical research.
The BioTARGen unit develops research activities related to the development of
new therapeutic strategies against osteoarticular pathologies based on the
knowledge and expertise acquired by the team for more than 30 years.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of disability in developed
countries, that affecting millions of people worldwide and resulting poor
quality of life. Today, the existing treatments for OA have a limited efficacy
(short therapeutic half-life) and adverse effects like inflammation and matrix
degradation (caused by acidic decomposition of drug products). There is an
evident need to design novel therapeutic approaches more efficient for
cartilage regeneration and the treatment of OA. The modularity of the proposed
technological platform will greatly accelerate the translation of the
developed technologies towards pre-clinical validation and could become the
first integrated solution for preventive and curative treatment of OA.
Our research program is based on One Health approach in Human and Equine
health.
Job Summary/basic function
The multidisciplinary project is based on a unique nanomedicine approach,
using lubricating and bioadhesive hybrid hydrogels to deliver, within a single
injection, multiple drugs into the joint cavity, to stimulate cartilage
regeneration while stopping mechanical abrasion and inflammation. The
candidate will evaluate in vitro the biocompatibility of this innovative
nanomedicine, using three-dimensional organoid that recapitulate the
architecture and distinctive functions of cartilage. The long-term delivery of
biologic and synthetic active compounds and the therapeutic efficacy will be
studied on Equine and Human chondrocytes, with a large panel of methods like
cell culture, RT-PCR, western-blot, immunohistochemistry/staining analysis,
live imaging, ELISA and mass spectrometry, large scale analysis. |

PhD in data assimilation and machine learning for mean flow reconstruction
(ONERA, France) |
Title: Efficient mean flow-field reconstruction with sparse measurements by
combining Data Assimilation and Machine Learning approaches (PhD offer)
Starting date : October 2021
Location : ONERA, Meudon, France and ENSMA / Institut Pprime, Poitiers, France
Whether it is motivated by efficiency, safety or environmental concerns, the
design of gas turbines for propulsion requires fast and reliable predictive
tools. Among currently available computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
techniques, Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations, which rely on
a modeling of all turbulent scales, form the most affordable approach.
However, flows within turbomachines are known to be particularly challenging
to be reproduced with RANS as they exhibit, among others, large-scale
unsteadiness, strong centrifugal effects due to rotation and three-dimensional
separation phenomena. RANS may thus have difficulties in providing accurate
predictions of compressor efficiency. In addition to modeling limitations, the
fidelity of CFD predictions may also be significantly deteriorated by poorly
prescribed boundary conditions or if other physical / model parameters are
badly known.
As an alternative to CFD, experimental techniques may provide trustworthy data
of flows of interest. However, measurements are generally noisy and, most
importantly, can not provide a full description of the flow. For example,
still considering the flow past the rotor in the above figure, only punctual
pressure / temperature / velocity measurements at a few locations at the
entrance and at the exit of the rotor may generally be performed due to the
difficulty in instrumenting such a configuration. These limited data may
hardly enable a characterization of the flow conditions at the inlet / outlet,
and thus of the efficiency, and, a fortiori, do not give insights about the
flow in the rotor.
In order to overcome the above-mentioned limitations of numerical and
experimental approaches, it is here considered to merge them through data
assimilation techniques. Data assimilation consists in identifying appropriate
simulation inputs and / or model corrections to match reference / experimental
data. This results in a hybrid prediction that may combine the fidelity of
experimental data with a full description of the flow of interest as provided
by CFD.
Previous studies [2,3] developed efficient variational data assimilation
methodologies to correct RANS models based on reference velocity data or
surface measurements, enabling large improvements in the predicted full mean
flows. A drawback of the variational approach is however the required tedious
development of the adjoint of the RANS solver. As an alternative, it is here
proposed to rather rely on non-intrusive ensemble-based techniques [4,5],
which are established from a stochastic / Bayesian formulation of data
assimilation. The development of such techniques could foster the
implementation of data assimilation in conjunction with elaborate CFD codes,
and thus facilitate the consideration of complex flow configurations. A
critical aspect in the development of such approaches will be the design of
appropriate representations / bases of the quantities to identify through the
data assimilation procedure. For example, in the case where data assimilation
is employed to correct the modeling of the Reynolds stress tensor (RST) in a
RANS simulation, it will be of interest to take into account realizability
constraints on the RST as considered in [6]. The use of possibly more global
and physically-sounding representations of the RST through, e.g., resolvent
analysis [7], will also be investigated. Ultimately, such developments should
help decreasing the computational cost of the data assimilation procedure
through efficient sampling of the quantities to identify / correct. The
consideration of limited data should also be greatly facilitated, in
particular if sufficiently sparse representations are identified.
While the corrections of RANS simulations that will have been identified
through the developed data assimilation techniques will be only valid for the
flow configurations for which available data will have been exploited, it is
considered in this PhD to generalize these corrections through machine
learning in a second step [8]. This should result in data-driven predictive
RANS models. Such a data assimilation and machine learning coupling will be
investigated based on the recent framework proposed in [9], which should allow
to take full advantage of the developed ensemble-based / stochastic data
assimilation techniques.
In summary, benefiting from active communities at ONERA and ENSMA / Institut
Pprime on data-driven approaches, the main objective of the PhD student will
be the development of non-intrusive, cost-efficient and physically-sounding
data assimilation techniques to enhance the predictions of RANS simulations,
possibly assisted by machine learning to expand the validity of the retrieved
model corrections. Initial studies will be performed over academic
configurations to assess unambiguously the performances of the developed
methods. Finally, turbomachinery-related configurations [10] could be
considered as final applications of the proposed techniques.

PhD position on microbial dynamics in fluid mixtures within Marie Curie
Training network |
The University of Rennes, France, has an opening for a PhD position, funded by
the European Training Network [COPERMIX ](https://www.copermix-
itn.eu/)(Control prediction and learning in mixing processes 2021-2025 ). The
project is funded by the MARIE SKŁODOWSKA CURIE Innovative Training Network
(ITN) within the [Horizon 2020
Program](https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/what-horizon-2020) of
the European Commission.
In this project, the PhD candidate will explore the spatial patterns, growth
dynamics and competition of bacteria in heterogeneous fluid mixtures. Bacteria
play a major role in triggering chemical reactions, producing catalysts or
degrading contaminants in a range of environmental, biological and engineering
applications. The vast majority of bacteria live in complex fluid
environments, such as porous media or turbulent flows, where heterogeneous
nutrients and redox landscapes are shaped by flows and transport dynamics
([Stocker et al.
2012](https://science.sciencemag.org/content/338/6107/628.abstract), [Bochet
et al. 2020](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-019-0509-1)). Yet, the
laws describing bacterial growth and dynamics are generally known for well
mixed and homogeneous systems. Recent experimental and theoretical
breakthroughs in our group have shed a new light on mixing dynamics in
turbulent and porous media flows ([Le Borgne et al.
2017](https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-fluid-
mechanics/article/scalar-gradients-in-stirred-mixtures-and-the-deconstruction-
of-random-fields/11AE9A28C7970C250604B3F403F8FF08), [Heyman et al.
2020](https://www.pnas.org/content/117/24/13359.short),
[2021](http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.126.034505)),
yielding new modeling frameworks to understand and quantify reactive and
biological processes in these environments. Based on these new insights, the
PhD student will develop novel experiments, using microfluidics (e.g. [Coyte
et al. 2017](https://www.pnas.org/content/114/2/E161.short)) and laser induced
fluorescence (e.g. [Heyman et al.
2020](http://www.pnas.org/content/117/24/13359.short)) , to explore bacterial
dynamics in heterogeneous concentration landscapes. He/she will thus
investigate how bacteria sense information and develop growth and competition
strategies in complex and dynamic chemical gradients. Results will be
integrated into a mechanistic model linking mixing dynamics, chemical
gradients and microbial growth and competition.
The PhD candidate will integrate an interdisciplinary team at the interface of
the geosciences, physics and ecology departments at the University of Rennes,
and join a European network of 15 young researchers working on related topics.
The candidate will closely interact with a team of scientists in Rennes,
including [Prof. Le
Borgne](https://scholar.google.fr/citations?user=4sXDshYAAAAJ&hl=en), [Dr.
Tabuteau](https://scholar.google.fr/citations?user=Dkcp34IAAAAJ&hl=en#), [Dr.
Waisbord](https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=MPpxstMAAAAJ&view_op=list_works),
[Dr. Heyman](https://scholar.google.fr/citations?user=aSjtiGQAAAAJ&hl=en),
and[ Prof. Méheust](https://scholar.google.fr/citations?user=f-wx-
WwAAAAJ&hl=en). He/she will have the opportunity to perform research
secondments at Aix-Marseille University, at the International Center of
Theoretical Physics of Trieste and at EAWAG Zurich.
The starting date is flexible between September and November 2021.

Open Ph.D. position for “Nanoscale chemical, structural and morphological
imaging of β-amyloid aggregates interacting with membranes in aqueous medium” |
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of amyloid β (Aβ)
plaques and Tau neurofibrillary tangles with typical β-sheet secondary
structure. Toxicity mechanisms of Aβ peptides on neuronal cells are however
poorly understood at the molecular scale, even though it is known that these
peptides selectively interact with membranes. In this context, we aim at
comparing the effect of Aβ peptides as monomers, oligomers, protofibrils and
fibrils (having distinct cytotoxicity) on model membranes mimicking the lipid
composition of neuronal membranes to determine which lipids are specifically
targeted and identify potential modifications of amyloid secondary structures.
This study will be performed using tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) in
aqueous medium in order to obtain a nanoscale chemical, structural and
morphological mapping of damaged membrane regions and Aβ aggregates at
different stage of the amyloidogenesis.
The Ph.D. research program aims at developing TERS in liquid medium using our
TERS instrument combining an atomic force microscope (AFM) and a Raman
spectrometer, and performing hyperspectral TERS maps of different amyloid
species, lipid membranes and amyloid/membrane systems to finally identify TERS
marker bands revealing damages on lipid membranes in the presence of toxic
amyloid species thanks to multivariate analysis for data processing. To ensure
the project’s successful completion, three research partners (ISM and CBMN
labs in Bordeaux and LAAS lab in Toulouse) will bring forth an exclusive
multidisciplinary approach based on their complementary experimental expertise
in the frame of the ANR (French National Research Agency) research project
AQUATERS. ISM and CBMN have already collaborated for many years on the TERS
characterization of AD molecular markers (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2017, 56,
1771; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2018, 57, 15738; J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 2020, 11,

15 PhD positions in the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Project
AUTOBarge on Autonomous Inland Shipping |
Applications are invited for 15 PhD positions (“Early Stage Researchers”) to
be funded by the Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network “AUTOBarge
- European training and research network on Autonomous Barges for Smart Inland
Shipping” within the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission.
According to the European Commission, passenger transport is projected to
increase 42% by 2050, and freight transport up to 60%. Needless to say, this
puts an enormous burden on transport networks and our environment. Compared to
other modes of transport – which often face congestion and capacity problems –
inland waterway transport is characterised by reliability, energy efficiency
and a capacity for increased use. More than 37,000 km of waterways connect
hundreds of cities and industrial regions in Europe. In the EU, 13 countries
share an interconnected waterway network, highlighting the potential for
increasing the modal share of inland waterway transport. This will not happen
unless we can make inland waterways economically competitive. However, with
crew costs accounting for 60% of the total cost, autonomous inland vessels
represent an exciting disruptive technology.
AUTOBarge is about seizing an opportunity. Europe’s waterways are a vital
resource that we have underused for most of the last century. Now, with the
possibility for mass autonomous shipping, these canals and rivers offer a
network that we can exploit without damaging the environment to the extent of
new roads and aircraft runways. But to be able to do this we need new people
with new skills. These innovators must be experts in remote control,
monitoring, smart logistics, regulatory aspects, and many more areas
associated with the complexity of inland shipping. The 15 early-stage
researchers recruited to AUTObarge will begin this transport revolution.
The AUTOBarge Beneficiaries are 7 universities, KU Leuven (BE), Universiteit
Antwerpen (BE), TU Delft (NL), NTNU (NO), Nord Universitet (NO), Chalmers
Tekniska Högskola (SE), Universität Hamburg (DE), 2 high-technology
companies, Periskal (BE) and Kongsberg Maritime (NO), and 1 non-university
research institute, Institut Du Droit International Des Transports (FR). The
consortium is completed by 10 Partner Organisations that include 4 companies,
3 non-university research institutes, 2 network/stakeholder organisations, and
1 governmental organisation. AUTOBarge unites some of the best and most
relevant of European industry and the key academic players, guaranteeing not
only an exciting interdisciplinary, intersectoral research-and-training
programme, but also a head-start for bringing about the successful application
of autonomy in inland-waterway transport. |

PhD Candidate - ESR 15: Federated deep active learning for AI-based
interpretation of lumbar MRI in discogenic LBP patients w/ & w/o data virtual
enhancement |
The European community requires early stage researchers (ESRs) who can work
across the boundaries of traditional disciplines, integrating experimental and
in silico approaches to understand and manage highly prevalent multifactorial
disorders, such as musculoskeletal disorders. The Disc4All training network
utilises intervertebral disc degeneration (LDD) leading to low back pain (LBP)
as a relevant application for the integration of data and computational
simulations in translational medicine, to enable rational interpretations of
the complexity of the interactions that eventually lead to symptoms.
LBP is the largest cause of morbidity worldwide, yet there remains controversy
as to the specific cause leading to poor treatment options and prognosis. LDD
is reported to account for 50% of LBP in young adults, but the interplay of
factors from genetics, environmental, cellular responses and social and
psychological factors is poorly understood. Unfortunately, the integration of
such data into a holistic and rational map of degenerative processes and risk
factors has not been achieved, requiring creation of professional cross
competencies, which current training programmes in biomedicine, biomedical
engineering and translational medicine fail to address, individually.
Disc4All aims to tackle this issue through collaborative expertise of
clinicians; computational physicists and biologists; geneticists; computer
scientists; cell and molecular biologists; microbiologists; bioinformaticians;
and industrial partners. It provides interdisciplinary training in data
curation and integration; experimental and theoretical/computational
modelling; computer algorithm development; tool generation; and model and
simulation platforms to transparently integrate primary data for enhanced
clinical interpretations through models and simulations. Complementary
training is offered in dissemination; project management; research integrity;
ethics; regulation; policy; business strategy; and public and patient
engagement. The Disc4All ESRs will provide a new generation of internationally
mobile professionals with unique skill sets for the development of thriving
careers in translational research applied to multifactorial disorders.
**Hiring Institution**
* Hiring Disc4All Member: University of Oulu, Finland
* Web: [www.oulu.fi](http://www.oulu.fi)

* Marie Curie Grant Agreement Number: 955735
**Topic:** Federated deep active learning for AI-based interpretation of
lumbar MRI in discogenic LBP patients w/ & w/o data virtual enhancement.
**Description:** In this project, the successful candidate will develop the
next generation of Deep Learning methods for automatic and interpretable
analysis of lumbar spine MRI data. The PhD thesis will contribute to the
Disc4All Project in terms of advanced low back pain patient stratification,
and it aims to develop tools, allowing the learning from data with and without
annotations, and from different sources (i.e. in a federated learning setup).
As we will also develop new ways to interpret low back pain phenotypes of
medical images, both real world and (interpretable) simulation-based data will
be progressively integrated, and models will be trained through active
learning. Hence, the doctoral student is expected to contribute to progress in
generic machine learning, computer vision and MRI-based interpretable
diagnoses for low back pain.

MSCA ITN project "xCTing" is recruiting early stage researchers (ESRs) |
First-time-right and zero-defect manufacturing of customized lot-size-one
products are essential elements of the Industry 4.0 paradigm shift to
reinforce Europe’s global leadership in manufacturing. X-ray Computed
Tomography (CT) metrology has a key role to play in this transition, since it
is the only known technology that can certify non-destructively the quality of
internal complex structures, such as those produced by additive manufacturing
or found in assemblies. However, CT largely remains an off-line technology,
due to the unsolved trade-off between scan speed and scan quality, and
especially the need for extensive expert user input. xCTing - "Enabling _X_
-ray _CT_ based _I_ ndustry 4.0 process chains by training _N_ ext _G_
eneration research experts" project will therefore focus on significantly
increasing autonomy, robustness and speed in CT metrology in order to support
its transition towards a fully in-line quality assurance technology as
required in Industry 4.0 environments. Meeting these challenges requires the
integration of a broad range of interdisciplinary expertise, including
physics, manufacturing, dimensional metrology, machine learning, as well as
efficient and reliable big data analytics and visualization.
In order to achieve the envisaged innovation breakthrough in the European
industry, Europe is in dire need of young innovators who can combine this
variety of competences with entrepreneurial skills. This MSCA ITN project
"xCTing" is a pan-European industrial- academic initiative committed to the
provision of a unique and encompassing training environment required to foster
a new generation of innovation-minded research engineers, that will act as
catalysts in the further transformation of Europe’s manufacturing industry
towards global technological leadership.
There are in total 15 ESR vacancies in this project (as listed below) and
rolling interview process will be centrally carried out. Please visit the

Postdoctoral Fellowship: Atomistic modeling of amorphous films with
exceptionally low mechanical loss |
The two four km long Advanced LIGO interferometers in the U.S., the most
sensitive gravitational wave detectors in the world, have registered the
signals of more than 50 black hole and neutron star mergers. The detection
sensitivity is fundamentally limited by the rate at which mechanical
vibrations are damped in the highly reflective coatings on fused silica
mirrors. The next generation of detectors, including Voyager, Cosmic Explorer,
and the Einstein Telescope, require a significant improvement in mechanical
loss in the most sensitive (10-1000 Hz) frequency range. Low mechanical loss
materials are also urgently needed in many other nanoscale applications, for
instance in optomechanical resonators and in quantum information components.
To address this challenge, the [LIGO group](https://lsc.ubc.ca/) and the [The
Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute](https://qmi.ubc.ca/) (SBQMI) at the
University of British Columbia are building an integrated design framework to
discover new materials with exceptionally low mechanical loss. In support of
this effort, we seek a **computational scientist** with experience in
atomistic simulations of condensed matter systems. The successful candidate
will join an interdisciplinary team of (astro-)physicists and solid state
chemists, and help setting up a closed feedback loop between materials
modeling, synthesis, and experimental characterization. The postdoctoral
fellow will focus on identifying and characterizing sources of internal
friction (two level systems) in amorphous metal oxide films that have been
identified as promising candidate materials. Of particular importance will be
improving on existing modeling strategies by implementing advanced sampling
and emergent machine learning methods.
A PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or a related discipline is
required. Good oral and written communication skills and the ability to work
on a team project are essential. Prior experience with atomistic simulation
techniques (DFT, molecular dynamics, etc.) is desired.
Interested candidates can contact Prof. Joerg Rottler (jrottler at
physics.ubc.ca) for further details, and should send:
* a brief cover letter,
* summary of research interests (1 page),
* CV with list of publications,
* diversity statement, and
* the names of three potential referees (preferably in one pdf file) to the same address.
We will consider applications until the position is filled.

GREEN AM: Towards sustainable additive manufacturing |
GREEN AM: Towards sustainable additive manufacturing
In the framework of a large scale project with a number of industrial partners
and sector organisations, this doctoral research will be focused on in depth
study of the environmental impact associated with additive manufacturing
processes, with specific attention for polymer oriented AM processes. For this
purpose we can start from a methodological framework for systematic impact
analysis of manufacturing processes in general as conceived in the involved
research group. Purpose is to develop parametric models for process impact
prediction on the one hand, and to assess the potential effects of
technological improvements with respect to innovative material development on
the other. Creative interaction with polymer specialists will allow to
identify and explore material and energy efficiency improvement opportunities.
Input-output optimization inspired by industrial symbiosis strategies will
enhance the spectrum of possible measures to be thoroughly investigated.
The Life Cycle Engineering research group, in which this research will be
conducted, is part of the Mechanical Engineering Department of KU Leuven that
also houses a large research division oriented towards manufacturing process
development research. As such process design is part of the scope that can be
explored.
The envisaged research involves hands-on data collection with respect to
material and energy resource consumption in different AM processes. It also
requires material flow analysis based on extensive literature exploration. |

Postdoctoral position in neurophysiology |
**The position will be for 3 years; Starting date: possible from September
2021**
We seek to hire a highly motivated young postdoctoral fellow to work in
electrophysiology in brain slices and in vivo. A background in behavior as
well as experience with transgenic mice and glial cells would be appreciated,
but not required. The post-doc candidate will integrate our team located in
the new Institut of Psychiatry and Neuroscience of Paris (IPNP) inside Sainte-
Anne Hospital, a highly stimulating environment. He/she will investigate how
neuron-oligodendroglia interactions drive neuronal circuit function and mouse
behavior.
Interestingly, cortical GABAergic interneurons and some populations of
oligodendroglia are born from the same embryonic origin, migrate through
similar routes and interact through synaptic contacts once in place in the
cortex. In addition, interneurons and oligodendroglia are demised in a large
proportion by programmed cell death at early postnatal stages (Orduz et al.,
2019). However, the functional relevance of interneuron-oligodendroglia
interactions and their developmental cell death are still poorly understood.
The project will explore the impact of the aforementioned common features of
these cell types on cognitive processes and neurodevelopmental disorders by
using a multidisciplinary approach ex vivo and in vivo in different transgenic
mice.
**Five selected publications of the team:**

PhD Position Dynamic Semantics Specification |
_Project Problem Outline
_ There is a lack of frameworks and tools that aid language designers in
defining and implementing languages in a way that strikes a balance between:
* Declarativity: allowing language definitions to be read and understood by language designers as well as programmers.
* Executability: supporting realistic and efficient implementations of language run times.
* Verifiability: providing a foundation for proving meta-properties of the defined language, and verifying properties of programs.
Definitional interpreters are an attractive style of language definition,
since they are executable by construction. The key idea of a definitional
interpreter is to define an object language by implementing an interpreter for
it in a second, better-understood meta-language. There is no shortage of meta-
languages that can be used to implement definitional interpreters, but
existing meta-languages do not strike a satisfactory balance between
declarativity, executability, and verifiability. Executability and efficiency
typically comes at the cost of sacrificing declarativity and verifiability,
and vice versa. The proposed Ph.D. project revolves around the development of
a new language for defining languages that addresses this shortcoming. The
vision is to provide a framework and tool that generates efficient language
run times from declarative and verifiable language definitions. The goal of
the Ph.D. project is to contribute to this vision.
_Context: Scopes-and-Frames
_ Recent work on scopes-and-frames introduced a set of memory primitives for
implementing lexical name binding (such as binders in λ calculus), and non-
lexical name binding (such as module imports, class inheritance, etc.).
Scopes-and-frames are:
* Declarative: can be used to implement clear and concise definitional interpreters.
* Executable: based on a relatively low-level memory model that we believe is amenable to implementation in realistic language run times.
* Verifiable: based on a formal correspondence with scope graphs, to provide a uniform type safety principle for name binding in defined object languages.
But, to date, scopes-and-frames have not been integrated into any definition
language that strikes a balance between the concerns above.
_Potential Lines of Research
_ There are several research objectives that could be explored as part of this
project. For example:
* A definition language that provides integrated support for scopes-and-frames.
* Language-parametric garbage collection for scopes-and-frames.
* Abstractions for control and memory (the “control stack” in many language run times). Control and memory is important for efficient execution, and for defining language features such as exceptions, co-routines, continuations (call/cc), etc.
* A virtual machine for executing language definitions. Inter-operability between different languages running on the same VM.
* Type-safe compilation of type-safe language definitions.
* […]
_About the Position
_ We are looking for a versatile candidate who can contribute to the
development of theoretical foundations, design of meta-languages,
implementation and integration of languages and libraries in the language
workbench, and evaluate the new techniques in language design case studies.
For more information see the publications on scope graphs. For this project
see especially the ESOP’15, ECOOP’16, POPL’18, and ECOOP’19 papers.
The PI on the project is Casper Bach Poulsen. The PhD student will be co-
supervised by Eelco Visser. |

Postdoctoral Fellow(2yr)formation of methylmercury in contaminated sediment |
_The Department of Chemistry is hiring a postdoc for a research project on the
formation of methylmercury in contaminated sediments. The employment is full-
time for two years with start as soon as possible, or by agreement._
**Project description and working tasks**
You will study processes for the formation of methylmercury in contaminated
sediments with focus on how chemical speciation of Hg and molecular
composition on organic matter control this process.
Mercury poses serious threats to ecosystems and human health, primarily
through the formation and spread of methylmercury in aquatic ecosystems. To
improve this situation, the contributions from contaminated sediments to the
total mercury load on ecosystems must be carefully evaluated and effective
measures taken. Today, there are uncertainties about the risks of mercury-
contaminated sediments due to insufficient understanding of the factors that
control the formation and spread of methylmercury. There is a great need for
improved risk assessments that include these processes.
The project will include field sampling of sediment and water, and potentially
biota. You will characterize the chemical speciation of Hg with synchrotron-
based X-ray spectroscopy and the molecular composition on organic matter with
mass spectrometry and study in laboratory experiments how the formation of
methylmercury is controlled by these factors. The project aims to generate
practically applicable tools for improved risk assessments of contaminated
sediments through focused fundamental research of biogeochemical processes.
Within the project, you will carry out the experimental research work, which
you plan and evaluate in collaboration with the project's other researchers.
You will also be responsible for writing scientific publications and
presentations of results at seminars / conferences. Together with the
project's other researchers, you will be responsible for contacts and
discussions with government officials about the project's design and results.
Teaching may be included in the employment of a maximum of 20% and in that
case, the employment is extended by the corresponding time.
The postdoctoral project is funded by grants from the Swedish Environmental
Protection Agency in a call for research projects on risks with and, or spread
of hazardous substances from contaminated sediments. Within the same project
we will hire one more postdoc who will focus on the development of methodology
based on stable isotope measurements to track the spread of methylmercury from
contaminated sediments to surrounding sediment, water and biota. The two
postdocs will work in close collaboration within their projects which will be
carried out within an international team with researchers in analytical
chemistry and biogeochemistry at Umeå University (Prof. Erik Björn;
), SLU, Umeå (Prof. Ulf Skyllberg;
), and CNRS/Pau Univeristy, France
(Prof. David Amouroux; ). A reference group will be linked to the project and
consist of representatives from government agencies (eg County Administrative
Boards) and environmental consulting and industrial companies, which further
broadens your network within the project.
**Qualifications**
Eligible to be employed as a postdoctoral fellow is a person who has completed
a doctoral degree or a foreign degree that is deemed to correspond to a
doctoral degree in biogeochemistry or an equivalent subject area with a focus
on mercury biogeochemistry. In the first instance, it should be considered as
having completed a degree no more than three years before the end of the
application period. If there are special reasons, it may be considered as
having completed a doctoral degree earlier. Special reasons refer to leave due
to illness, parental leave or clinical service, positions of trust within
trade unions or other similar circumstances. Postdoctoral fellows who are to
teach or supervise must have relevant higher education pedagogical education.
You have experience of and an interest in experimental research. A very good
knowledge in written and spoken English is required. You should have a good
ability to take initiative and collaborate and be flexible to changes within
the project. In your work, you should have a focus on high quality and a good
ability to solve problems analytically.
Experience of field sampling, work with sediments or soils, synchrotron-based
X-ray spectroscopy (eg EXAFS), experiments with enriched isotope tracers,
molecular characterization of natural organic matter with MS techniques and
ICPMS techniques are meritorious.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Respiratory Medicine |
**Title:** Postdoctoral Researcher in Respiratory Medicine
**Department:** Irish Centre for Genetic Lung Disease, Department of Medicine
**Tenure:** Specified purpose contract for 1 year, which can be extended for
an additional year (subject to funding)
**Location:** Education and Research Centre, Beaumont Hospital, Dublin 9
**Reporting to:** Prof Emer Reeves
**Salary:** Post Doctorate scale (Level 2) Point 3 (€41,025 basic salary per
annum).
**Proposed Start Date:** June-July 2021
**Background to the role:**
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease, caused by mutations in
the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
(CFTR) anion channel, resulting in defective CFTR-mediated chloride transport.
A lack of CFTR function affects multiple systems throughout the body, yet is
characterized by structural lung disease with bronchiectasis from a very young
age, coupled with a severe dysregulated inflammatory response. Studies have
demonstrated that neutrophils account for ~70% of the total cell count in CF
airway samples and neutrophil released proteases are detectable in airway
samples of children with CF as young as 3 months old. Thus, neutrophils are a
key driver of airway inflammation in people with CF and are an important
immune cell to study.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Respiratory Research group of
Prof. Emer Reeves. The group is involved in multiple national and
international research collaborations. Prof Reeves works alongside Prof Gerry
McElvaney, Professor of Medicine, RCSI, and Consultant in Pulmonary Medicine,
Beaumont Hospital. They have a strong track record in translational research
and have published widely in the area of cystic fibrosis They have been funded
by the Health Research Board Ireland, Science Foundation Ireland, and the US
Alpha-1 Foundation, and have published their research in journals including
Nature, Science Translational Medicine, New England Journal of Medicine,
Journal of Clinical Investigation and American Journal of Respiratory and
Critical Care Medicine.
**Objective of the role:**
The focus of this translational research project is to identify proteins with
aberrant expression and function, which influence the pathogenesis of lung
disease. We will characterize the in vivo effect of CFTR modulator therapy on
exuberant neutrophil signaling in CF. We hypothesize that an indirect benefit
of CFTR modulator therapy includes a reduction in lung inflammatory and
protease burden, associated with corrected immune cell activity. The
successful candidate will utilize state of the art methodology for the
identification, and clinical interpretation, of the impact of CFTR modulator
therapy on aberrantly expressed neutrophil and macrophage signaling proteins
and associated pathways.
This project is funded by the US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
**Specifically, the technical duties of the post are:**
* Patient sample processing
* Chromatography and protein isolation
* Mass spectrometry and protein identification
* Cell culture, RT-PCR and western blotting
* Preparation of research manuscripts |

Post-doc position in Transportation: Control and Optimisation |
**Title: Passenger-oriented distributed control strategy for large-scale urban
systems and applications to ride-sharing systems**
This position is funded by the EU project DIT4TRAM. This project has twenty
academic and industrial partners including Univ Eiffel, TU Delft –
coordinator, EPFL, ETHZ, NTUA, Bar Ilan Univ, Siemens, Aimsun, Technolution,
BestMiles…. The project team will be composed of one PhD student and two Post-
docs at Univ Eiffel. In total about 8 PhD and 12 Post-docs will be involved
through all academic partners. Networking between all project members is
paramount to foster collaborations and most tasks are shared by at least two
partners. This specific post-doc position aims to close collaborations with
EPFL (Prof. Geroliminis’ team).
**Description:**
In our mobility ecosystem where dependencies are increasingly complex, the
need for simple, local control principles that serve the collective purpose is
growing. This need is the basis for the DIT4TraM (Distributed Intelligence and
Technology for Traffic and Mobility Management) project, which investigates
and tests what swarm intelligence can do for managing multimodal traffic and
transport flows. DIT4TraM aims at a paradigm shift within traffic and mobility
management according to the principles of swarm intelligence and self-learning
systems.
This Post-doc will focus on designing distributed algorithms to govern
ubiquitous transportation networks, that are geographically distributed and
with multiple entities and operators. The objective of these distributed
control structures is that local regulators communicate to reach an agreement
on their control decisions, so as to ensure local cooperation with its
neighbors towards realization of city-level mobility objectives. We will
investigate what type of information should be transmitted, so that
interaction effects are integrated at the local level. While distributed
optimization is a methodologically well-founded control approach, we will
explore its potential in the context of human-oriented ubiquitous mobility
that is beyond what has been tried today. The specific targeted application is
how distributed mechanisms can lead to efficient relocation mechanisms for
ride sharing systems due to asymmetric demand that creates imbalances in the
spatial and temporal distribution of vehicles. The objective is to maximize
the demand served and decrease the waiting time of passengers. In doing so, we
will integrate historical data and real-time input while considering the
negative effect of relocation in other subsystems. This relocation can also
have negative consequences: i) relocated vehicles are not available for
booking during their move, ii) a large number of circulating vehicles can
create significant congestion, iii) the cost of relocation is high when it
involves personnel. This task will also consider the effect of circulating
vehicles without clients in increasing the congestion city levels, which is
ignored by most existing works.
The Post-doc will also contribute to generic tasks aiming to investigate the
overall potential benefits of distributed systems over centralized ones, such
as offering better privacy protection and coordination, while designing the
proper distributed architectures and information exchange requirements for
different DiT4Tram subsystems. IT is expected to show that distributed
approach is more resilient to disruptions, accidents, or disasters. By means
of computer simulations we will show that goals such as sustainability,
resilience, comfort, fairness, or privacy-protection can be reached by self-
organization, if suitable interaction and learning rules are applied. This is
a matter of mechanism design. Furthermore, we want to demonstrate by computer
simulations that a distributed self-organization approach can deliver not only
highly efficient outcomes, but also achieve additional goals such as the above
(while a strict optimization approach would often over-emphasize one goal at
the cost of others). |

Post: PhD student position in Experimental Molecular Physics
Location: [Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers](http://www-lpl.univ-

Contract: Fixed Term, 36 months, _grant already secured_ , starting:

Frequency metrology and fundamental sciences with cold molecules
A PhD student position is available to develop new-generation molecular clocks
specifically designed for precision vibrational spectroscopy of cold molecules
in the gas phase. The proposed technology is at the forefront of cold molecule
research and frequency metrology, and opens possibilities for using polyatomic
molecules to perform tests of fundamental physics and explore the limits of
the standard model, but also to address questions in astrophysics and
atmospheric physics. This PhD is funded in the frame of the joint research
project [Infrared frequency
metrology](https://international.cnrs.fr/en/actualite/le-cnrs-et-imperial-
college-london-consolident-leur-partenariat/) between LPL and the [Centre of
Cold Matter](https://www.imperial.ac.uk/centre-for-cold-matter/) (CCM,
Imperial College London) led by Mike Tarbutt.
Molecular systems, owing to their numerous degrees of freedom, offer promising
perspectives for improving tests of fundamental physics and precision
measurements in general. Molecules are increasingly being used internationally
for instance to test fundamental symmetries1, to measure fundamental
constants2 or their variation in time3, to search for dark matter4, … Many of
these experiments can be cast as measurements of resonance frequencies of
molecular transitions highlighting the importance of frequency metrology. They
require advanced manipulation techniques already standard for atoms:
individual states addressing, high detection rates, long coherence times,
cooling of internal and external degrees of freedom.
Among recent instrumental advances, the stabilization of quantum cascade
lasers (QCLs) on commercial optical frequency combs with traceability to some
of the world's best atomic clocks, a method recently implemented in our team,
is a breakthrough technology. It offers an unprecedented level of precision
and resolution in the mid-infrared (~10µm). The successful applicant will be
responsible for (i) extending the spectral coverage of the method to the
6-17µm window and improving its spectral resolution, tunability, detection
sensitivity and flexibility; (ii) developing an intense source of cold and
slow polyatomic molecules, produced in a cryogenic chamber, called a buffer-
gas-cooled beam, one of the latest cold molecule technology, so far mostly
implemented on simple species; and (iii) bringing these two technologies
together for conducting precise mid-infrared frequency measurements on large
molecules. The apparatus will be used in the first place for measuring the
electroweak-interactions-induced tiny energy difference between enantiomers of
well-chosen organo-metallic chiral molecules, a signature of parity (left-
right symmetry) violation, and a sensitive probe of dark matter. It will also
be used for spectroscopy at unprecedented levels of accuracy of increasingly
complex species of interest for astrophysics and Earth sciences.
The PhD student will also participate in developing an SI traceable and ultra-
stable 17µm QCL system for use at CCM for probing vibrational transitions in
trapped, laser-cooled ultracold calcium monofluoride (CaF)5. She/he will have
the opportunity to work there and participate in establishing the usefulness
of this platform as a mid-infrared frequency standard and as tool to test the
hypothesis that fundamental constants of nature may be drifting or oscillating
in time.
The PhD will be carried out in the frame of Excellence French programs
[EquipEx REFIMEVE+](http://www.refimeve.fr/index.php/en/) and [LabEx FIRST-
TF](https://first-tf.com/) allowing the applicant to fully integrate with the
time-frequency metrology community in France and beyond.

Graduate position at the Quantum Materials and Neuromoprhic Compuation Lab in
the Technion |
As current computer technologies are close to their theoretical limits, there
is a need for a paradigm shift in the field of computation, which would be
based on novel physical mechanisms and materials. These should allow for
intrinsic biomimetic functionalities along with high energy efficiency and
scalability.
Our lab aims to harness the complex physics of strongly correlated materials
to meet these demands. In our lab, we focus on Mott insulators which exhibit
temperature- and current- driven transitions into a metallic state. The orders
of magnitude change in resistance which can be achieved by applying current
through a Mott insulator represents an unusual type of resistive switching
which can mimic the operation of both neurons and synapses in the brain. We
are developing novel ways of controlling the switching process with strain,
doping and defects. We have already shown orders of magnitude improvement in
energy consumption and aim to achieve control over many other dynamic
properties. Our research spans from the most basic physics of strongly
correlated materials to actual devices mimicking biological neural networks.
Projects for prospective students are numerous: from exploring the intricate
interplay between structural, electronic, and magnetic degrees of freedom to
developing artificial neurons and synapses and coupling them to create novel
hardware-level artificial neural networks. To achieve this we use a vast array
of experimental techniques with new state-of-the-art equipment including: RF
magnetron sputtering, x-ray diffractometry (lab-based and synchrotron),
electron-beam and laser lithography, DC/RF transport measurements, high-
resolution cryogenic optical microscopy, scanning-probe microscopy (AFM, STM)
and more.
We are looking for excellent and highly motivated students who want to do
cutting edge science at the junction of physics, materials science and
computing in a young and dynamic research group. For details, please contact

PhD Candidate (COMPLEX project) ref 206749 |
The position is part of the research project «European Integration and
National Law: A theory of administrative behaviour in complex institutional
settings» (COMPLEX) which is financed by the Research Council of Norway.
COMPLEX studies administrative decision-making in the European multilevel
constellation. The Commission does not have its own agencies at the national
level but it works closely with independent national agencies (directorates
and supervisory authorities), often bypassing national ministries. These
agencies are then double hatted: they serve their respective national
ministries, and are at the same time part of the multilevel EU administration.
The project investigates how these bodies interpret and practice EU’s
secondary laws. Sometimes they make mistakes. The Norwegian Labour and Welfare
Administration, NAV, for example, is embroiled in an ongoing controversy. Due
to NAV’s allegedly incorrect interpretation of EU rules, a number of benefit
recipients were wrongly convicted of fraud. The empirical focus in the project
is on the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (Finanstilsynet), the
Norwegian Environment Agency (Miljødirektoratet), and the Norwegian Labour and
Welfare Administration (NAV). The PhD fellow will be part of a research group
led by Erik O. Eriksen at ARENA Centre for European Studies.

PostDoc: Radioastronomy imager accelerated on FPGA through High Level
Synthesis |
PostDoc proposal description :
##
**Keywords** : parallel computing, FPGA, HLS, inverse problem, radioastronomy
**SKA computing** , an HPC challenge The exascale radio telescope Square
Kilometre Array (SKA) [1] will require supercomputers with high technical
demands. The Science Data Processor (SDP) pipeline [2] in charge of producing
the multidimensional images of the sky will have to execute in realtime a
complex algorithm chain with data coming from telescopes at an incredible rate
of several Tb/s and limited storage possibilities. The SDP will also have to
be as green as possible with an energy budget of only 1 MWatt for 250
Petaflops.
**FPGA as an alternative to GPU.** Aside from the GPU mainstream architecture,
alternative accelerators present better power-efficiency and cannot be already
aside the road for the final SDP implementation. Among the alternative
solutions, FPGA is an hardware architecture offering a unique fine-grain task
and data parallelism compared to architectures based on processors like CPU,
GPU or Kalray MPPA with a design dedicated to algorithms. However, the usual
synthesis flows require hardware expertise and long implementation time. One
of the promises of the emerging High Level Synthesis (HLS) tools is to make
FPGA development accessible by software engineers with hardware
implementations generated from software programming languages like C, C++, or
OpenCL. Afterwards, the FPGA design can be optimised gradually with the
integration of hardware blocks. The dedicated FPGA solutions usually
outperform GPU ones using the whole available computing power and avoiding
memory congestion. First results obtained by the Astron Team for
radioastronomy are already encouraging [3].
**A collaborative work.** This work will part of the ANR project, Dark-Era [4]
which aims to : (i) build SimSDP, a rapid prototyping tool providing exascale
simulations from dataflow algorithm description, (ii) explore low power
accelerators like FPGA or Kalray MPPA as alternatives to mainstream GPU
architecture and (iii) be source of proposals for SKA computing and promoting
french contributions such as ddfacet [5]. Dark-Era gathers from the SimGrid
[6] development Team at IRISA, the PREESM [7] development team at IETR, the
inverse problem team at L2S, and two radio astronomy teams at Observatories of
Paris and Cˆote d’Azur. The [inverse problems team
(GPI)](https://l2s-supelec.wabeo-dev.xyz/en/poles/signaux-et-statistiques/gpi-
en/) has a mixed expertise in architecture and signal processing with a long-
term experience in deconvolution applied to astronomy ; On that topic, a PhD
is in progress working on GPU acceleration in collaboration with Atos-Bull
[8]. The GPI has driven research works on Intel FPGA acceleration through HLS
tools since 2016 for tomography reconstruction, another inverse problem [9,
10].
**PostDoc Goal.** Exploration of the potential of FPGA acceleration with High
Level Synthesis tools will be done through the design of an SDP prototype for
NenuFAR [11] ; this very large low-frequency radio telescope located at
Nan¸cay Observatory has been inaugurated in Oct. 2019. It will produce
visibility throughput about one hundred times lower than SKA1-LOW and
adjustable to the single node prototype capabilities. The FPGA prototype will
be designed through Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL ; The FPGA prototype will be set
up at Nanc¸ay, connected to the correlator output visibility stream, to run in
realtime its SDP pipeline. A main interest of this study is to deliver
performance feedbacks in time, memory and energy to SimSDP. Indeed evaluation
of the performance gain using FPGA inside HPC nodes in this specific use case,
will be particulary useful to assess which role FPGA could play in future SKA
like HPC projects.

SOD-5 PhD -“Gate Drivers for Multi-Level Topologies employing Si, GaN or SiC
Switches” |
**SOD-5 PhD -“Gate Drivers for Multi-Level Topologies employing Si, GaN or SiC
Switches”**
**Contract: Full Time/Fixed Term**
MCCI is Ireland’s national Microelectronics Circuits Research Centre.
[MCCI](https://www.mcci.ie/) has a team of over 90 researchers and engineers
hosted across Tyndall National Institute, UL and UCD, collaborating on more
than 50 research projects. Funded by Enterprise Ireland and the IDA, its focus
is to generate innovative IC technologies. As part of its core-funded
research, MCCI offers this prestigious PhD studentship opportunity at its
Tyndall (Cork) based office.
**Summary of the Project**
Huge growth in power electronics’ market areas such as automotive EV and
renewable energy integration is driving the imperative for higher power
densities, higher voltages and higher switching frequencies. Battery cell
stacks and DC-Link voltages in automotive are trending towards 800 V and to
greater than 1500 V for PV string inverters. Concurrently, there are
significant developments in power switch technologies across silicon DMOS,
gallium nitride (GaN HEMT) and silicon carbide (SiC). This project is focused
on the power switch gate drivers for the distributed power electronic
switching cells – laterally by power level (consider traction drive per wheel
or grid-tie inverter per PV unit array) and vertically by switching cell
voltage level, considering stacked switches or multi-level converters. These
gate drivers will be highly integrated with their switches and have new
features to maximise switch performance and protection.
The ideal candidate will have the opportunity to perform cutting-edge research
on the development of gate driver solutions for multi-level topologies, which
naturally reduce the size, cost and weight of the passive components in power
systems by more than 4X. **The research will focus on the design and
integration of a number of innovative intelligent gate driver features to
enhance, switching speed, efficiency, EMI and overall performance**. The
candidate will explore new techniques for achieving magnetic galvanic
isolation between the switch driver signal and secondary side switch or bridge
driver with the smallest possible magnetic transformer size. An efficient and
integrated powering system for the gate driver output stage will be an
important aspect. The developments will consider the addition of new switch
control and protection telemetry features for switch stacks in multi-level
architectures, employing Silicon, GaN or SiC switches.
Whereas the project is primarily about the gate driver IC design, the research
will necessarily involve deep investigations into a number of related
disciplines such as advanced packaging technologies for the heterogeneous
integration between the CMOS gate driver circuit and its switch.
Minitiaturisation of the gate driver transformer by substrate-embedding or the
use of metallic thin film materials will be investigated. A resonant bias
converter may be used for the power transfer and resonant gate driver energy
recovery techniques may be researched.
The candidate will have access to world-class research facilities and
opportunity to collaborate with other Tyndall research teams, such as its
magnetics-on-silicon group. MCCI also has many on-going internal formal and
informal training opportunities in various aspects of CMOS design, across
power, high-speed/ precision analog and RF.
**Key Responsibilities**
* Carry out innovative research in gate driver IC development for Si or GaN based multi-level, power switching converters
* Perform theoretical and experimental analyses of silicon and GaN switch based power converters to determine ideal gate driver requirements
* Perform electrical modelling and characterisations of various integrated electronics packaging systems, such as power-systems in-package (PwrSiP) employing embedded substrate technology
* Perform electrical modelling, analysis and test of high frequency transformers based on novel magnetic materials
* Design, layout, validate and tape-out innovative gate driver IC circuits on a CMOS technology such as 180 nm SOI
* Characterise IC samples and experimentally evaluate in AC power electronic systems
* Participate in related research projects under the direction of supervisors
* Work on collaborative research projects with industrial or other academic partners
* Engage in the dissemination of the results of the research, as directed by and with the support of supervisors – such as by tier-1 journal publications and presenting at top international conferences
* Participate in Education and Public Engagement activities, as required
* Ensure all activities are compliant with the MCCI Processes and Tyndall Quality Management systems and required Health & Safety standards.
* Carry out any additional duties as may reasonably be required within the general scope and level of the PhD

Onboard aircraft engine monitoring analyzing vibratory and sound signals
captured by smartphones / tablets |
This PhD position is part of the “MOIRA” (MOnItoRing of large scale complex
technologicAl systems) project, funded by the European Commission through the
H2020 “Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks” program.
Modern technological systems increase in scale and are becoming more and more
complex and sophisticated. Parallel, the revolution in electronics, digital
technology and communications have drastically modified and expanded the
physical diversity, scope, processing capabilities and complexity of the
monitoring equipment and infrastructure used. Millions of networked sensors
are being embedded in the physical world sensing, creating and communicating
data. The amount of data available for capturing has been exploding and the
era of Big Data is already here, as the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a
reality. The main question which arises is how, following which steps and with
which tools the data can be transformed to information and knowledge.
The objectives of MOIRA are
* the development of novel signal processing tools for the monitoring of industrial processes based on machine learning methods applied on heterogeneous time series,
* the application of data mining technologies for the estimation of Key Performance Indicators which determine the operational profit,
* the conception, development and validation of methodologies for automated monitoring of cyber physical system fleets,
* The multi sensor machine condition monitoring under variable operating conditions.
Within the context of the MOIRA project, the PhD student will work on the
analysis, identification and modelling of vibratory and acoustic sources of
aircraft engines. Vibratory and acoustic sources include random phenomena
related to fuel combustion, cyclic phenomena related to the rotations of
shafts/rotors and nonlinear phenomena related to the fluidic link between the
high-pressure and the low-pressure turbines. The digital industrial evolution
is characterized by an interconnection of machines and systems (objects) that
is mainly based on the use of many sensors that collect information, but with
a degraded quality related to the nature of the “general public” sensors they
are equipped with. ESR15 will study how the health condition of aircraft
engines can be analysed in real time using this type of generally low-quality
sensor and establish a diagnosis that will anticipate and optimize the
maintenance. The work will rely on baseline data collected on board during a
flight from the specialized monitoring equipment and on data captured by
common smartphones/tablets during actual flights.
The captured data will be firstly structured and ESR15 will work towards the
correlation of the different sources and the development and application of
novel high-level signal-processing tools in order to extract the diagnostic
information hidden in the sound-and-vibration signals collected by common
smartphones/tablets (low-quality sensors). The statistical properties of the
captured signals will be exploited to characterize the sources and provide
indicators of the motor’s health. Moreover, the ESR will develop a model for
predictive maintenance exploiting additional information collected on the
ground and during the planned maintenance. To achieve this, four principal
tasks are required
* Task 1: In general, the data acquired from real-world machine are subject to some errors or censoring, which harden their subsequent use and processing. Typical examples may include sensor defects, partial loss in the data or some erroneous measurements caused by environmental factors. To address this issue, the first tasks focuses on structuring, pre-processing, cleaning and visualising the database while conserving useful information.
* Task 2: As the amount of data to be treated is large, the access to relevant information is like looking for a needle in a haystack. This naturally calls for advanced statistical and signal processing techniques to construct a meaningful and low-dimensional feature space. This provides useful patterns allowing straightforward selection of suspicious data.
* Task 3: Signals captured from rotating machines are known to have specific spectral patterns often modelled through physical or phenomenological models. These models offer an understanding of the baseline (healthy) state as well as potential faults on various organs. Faults are generally identified through their specific signature that departs from the baseline. This task consists in exploiting the available data to construct a model for different states of the system. An interesting way to explore is to construct a spectral cartography of the machine comprising the main and the most influencing components.
* Task 4: This task consists in constructing condition indicators to monitor the health state of the machine, detect potential faults and identify the faulty components. Those indicators will be constructed based on physical and data-driven approaches. A decision scheme will be then elaborated to establish an accurate diagnosis of the monitored system |

Postdoctoral researcher in operations research for sustainable supply chain
management |
The **University of Luxembourg** aspires to be one of Europe’s most highly
regarded universities with a distinctly international and **interdisciplinary
character**. It fosters the cross-fertilisation of **research** and
**teaching** , is relevant to its country, is known worldwide for its research
and teaching in targeted areas, and is establishing itself as an innovative
model for contemporary European Higher Education. The University`s core asset
is its well-connected world-class academic staff which will attract the most
motivated, talented and creative students and young researchers who will learn
to enjoy taking up challenges and develop into visionary thinkers able to
shape society.
The **Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance** offers three Bachelor
programmes, four Master programmes of Management and Economics and six Masters
of Laws (LL.M.), as well as several continuing education courses. It also
includes the Doctoral School in Law and the Doctoral School in Economics and
Finance. Around **2,500 students** from **90 different nationalities** are
enrolled at the Faculty. Academic staff from 18 different nationalities teach
at the Faculty, supported by practitioners from the field, visiting scholars
and guest professors. Rooted in Luxembourg but with a **European and
international outlook** , the Faculty counts three departments:
* Department of Law
* Department of Economics and Management
* Department of Finance
Teaching and research benefit from the proximity of the European institutions,
Luxembourg’s leading international financial centre and its vibrant business
community. Institutional and private sector partnerships, sponsored Chairs and
a growing network of international partner universities make the FDEF a
**vibrant academic hub at the heart of Europe**.
The selected candidate will work within the Luxembourg Centre for Logistics
and Supply Chain Management (LCL) ([https://lcl.uni.lu](https://lcl.uni.lu/))
which is part of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Supply Chain
And Logistics Excellence (SCALE) network (). The LCL
is a hub for logistics and supply chain research and education and seeks to
make an impact both in practice and in the academic community. This post-doc
position will be in collaboration with **a leading global industry partner.**
##### Your Role...
The research conducted by this post-doctoral researcher will be in the area of
sustainable/carbon efficient supply chain design for supply chains. The basic
decisions in the area of supply chain optimization are the determination of
the optimal product mix, i.e. which products should be produced in which
plants, at which point in time and in which quantity. In search for this
product mix, various constraints on the sourcing, production and demand side
that restrict the decision possibilities must be taken into account, such as
limited raw material availability, limited production capacity and minimum
sales quantities due to contractual obligations. The idea of this project is
to develop methodologies and a prototype tool that decision makers can use to
make fact-based trade-offs between profitability and sustainability for
complex value chains in uncertain business environments. The approach must be
able to appropriately and efficiently quantify the existing uncertainties and
generate robust solutions clearly visualizing the involved trade-off between
the two competing objectives.
The industry partner will provide real data and their network will be used as
a case-study for the proposed methods. The successful candidate will therefore
work closely both with researchers at the LCL and selected experts at the
partner company.
Under the direction of Professor Joachim ARTS:
* Conduct research in the formulation and efficient solution of mathematical programming models for sustainable supply chain design
* Data collection and analysis of costs and carbon footprints of supply chain activities such as production and transportation.
* Data collection and analysis of uncertainty in demand and other model parameters
* Development of several mathematical formulations of supply chain design problems
* Development of algorithmic tools to solve complex and industrial scale optimization problems
* Analysis of results
* Publication of articles in scientific journals such as Operations Research, European Journal of Operational Research, IISE Transactions and other high caliber international peer reviewed journals
##### What we expect from you…
* PhD in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics or a closely related discipline
* Experience writing code in languages such as Java/C++/C# or scripting languages such as Python/Matlab/Julia/R. Experience with solvers such as Gurobi/CPLEX/COIN-OR is an asset
* Ability to translate between mathematical models and practical business implications
* Ability to communicate with academic and industrial stakeholders and align interests
* Ambition to publish in highly ranked journals and an understanding of what it takes to do so
* Experience with stochastic programming / robust optimization and algorithms such as Benders decomposition and Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition is an asset
* Linguistic skills to evolve in a multilingual environment: fluency in English; good understanding of a second language and possibly a third language, German or French in particular, would be considered an advantage
**We Offer...**
* An excellent research environment with access to MIT-SCALE resources
* The opportunity to work on a real problem with real data that has both academic and industrial impact
* Integration into one of Europe’s most international universities
* Excellent facilities including personal work space at the University
* Attractive remuneration package
##### In Short...
* Contract Type: Fixed Term Contract 24 Month
* Work Hours: Full Time 40.0 Hours per Week
* Location: Kirchberg
* Job Reference: UOL04182
##### How to apply...
Applications should be submitted online and include:

Low temperature reaction kinetics |
Postdoc position to work at the Institute of Physics, Rennes, France, on low
temperature reaction kinetics
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate position at the
Institute of Physics Rennes (IPR) within the Molecular Physics Department to
conduct experimental research in fundamental chemical physics and reaction
kinetics, with particular application to laboratory astrophysics and
astrochemistry, as well as to atmospheric science. The position is jointly
funded by a Rennes Metropole research chair (P.I. François Lique) and the
University of Rennes 1, and is associated with two European Research Council
projects: COLLEXISM (P.I. François Lique ) and CRESUCHIRP (P.I. Ian Sims - ) as well as the ongoing CRESUSOL project (P.I.s Ludovic
Biennier and Sébastien Le Picard - [1]).
The research project
We aim to investigate the low temperature kinetics of formation of complexes
containing water [see e.g. 2], and to determine quantitative product branching
ratios for elementary bimolecular reactions at low temperatures [see 3 for
references]. The CRESU(Reaction Kinetics in Uniform Supersonic Flow)
technique, a speciality of the Rennes team [3], will be used to provide a gas
phase environment at extremely low temperatures (down to 10 K) which can
operate under highly supersaturated conditions. Two main diagnostics will be
employed to follow the processes under study: the CRESUSOL instrument [1]
which combines a CRESU reactor and a time-of-flight mass spectrometer with VUV
photoionization and photoelectron-photoion coincidence detection, and the
CRESUCHIRP apparatus which associates newly constructed high performance
chirped-pulse mm-wave rotational spectrometers [4,5] with CRESU flows to
detect transient species such as reaction products by the CPUF (chirped pulse
in uniform flow) technique [6]. The CRESUSOL instrument is mobile, and
experiments will be carried out on the DESIRS VUV beamline at the SOLEIL
synchrotron in Paris. The postdoc will also lead an upgrade of the detection
capabilities of the instrument with preliminary measurements possible using
fixed wavelength VUV sources at the IPR. In parallel, the postdoc will
participate in the CRESUCHIRP project at the IPR to measure quantitatively the
branching ratios of neutral-neutral reactions down to very low temperatures
(as low as 10 K), of great interest for astrochemistry. Certain reactions can
be studied in a complementary fashion by both techniques, providing a unique
opportunity to be trained in a wide range of state-of-the-art experimental
chemical physics methods.
Research training environment
The postdoc will benefit from strong interactions with the theory group of
François Lique as well as an exceptional technical environment constructed
within the framework of the CRESUCHIRP and CRESUSOL projects, both in terms of
dedicated and high-quality laboratory space as well as custom built high
performance scientific instruments. The project will be undertaken within the
intellectually stimulating context of the Rennes Laboratory Astrophysics group
() within the
Molecular Physics Department of the Institute of Physics Rennes, situated in
the attractive and vibrant capital of the Brittany region of France. The group
benefits from strong international collaborations, including the QUADMARTS
International Research Network
([https://quadmarts.org](https://quadmarts.org/)) which brings together French
and US partners working on the QUAntitative Detection of Molecular And Radical
Trace Species, along with associated laboratories across Europe.
Candidate profile
Candidates should possess a PhD in experimental physics or physical chemistry,
and experience in the use of microwave spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, ion
optics, pulsed lasers, vacuum and gas handling techniques and computer
interfacing and programming are highly desirable. Experience in research
supervision (e.g. undergraduate internships) would also be advantageous. A
working knowledge of English is essential to be able to interact effectively
with the multinational host team. French language lessons can be arranged if
desired.
Procedure for candidatures
The position is available starting in September-October 2021 (or eventually up
until January 2022) for a period of 12 months, renewable for a further 12
months by mutual agreement. Candidates must not have spent more than 12 months
in France over the past three years.
Inquires and applications, including a detailed CV and list of publications,
an accompanying letter, and the names and contact details of two (or three if
possible) potential referees, should be addressed to Prof. Ian Sims
([ian.sims@univ-rennes1.fr](mailto:ian.sims@univ-rennes1.fr)), and copied also

NCN scholarship grantee/PhD student |
The successful candidate will perform research and complete a PhD thesis in
the frame of the scientific project entitled: Study on the intergenerational
and transgenerational phenotypic and epigenetic effect of in ovo chicken
embryo stimulation.
Hypotheses and objectives of the project
The term “epigenetic modifications” refers to phenotypic changes in an
individual caused by mechanisms that are not related to alterations in the DNA
sequence. These modifications can result from extracellular signals and
environmental factors. The in ovo injection of bioactive substances (e.g.,
probiotics, prebiotics, or synbiotics) can stimulate not only the host immune
system through the gut microbiome modification but also fine-tune the gene
expression at early stages of development and turn animal more efficient or
resistant later. However, it is not clear whether and how these phenotypic
changes are inherited in subsequent generations. Therefore, the two leading
hypotheses were stated in this project: 1/ Bioactive substances, synbiotic and
choline, administered in ovo can stimulate embryonic development and produce a
life-long impact on the chicken phenotype (such as gut health, immune system,
performance, mortality, and physiological traits); 2/ Epigenetic changes that
were acquired in one generation, as a result of the in ovo impact on embryonic
and long-term postembryonic development, can be permanently inherited and
propagated in future generations. Consequently, the objectives of the project
are to analyse whether epigenetic changes that were acquired in one generation
can be stably inherited in future generations and to investigate the
physiological relevance of this inheritance at the intergenerational and
transgenerational level. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms behind this type
of information transfer will be examined by using a high-informative multi-
omics approach. We believe that the results of this project will provide new
evidence for offspring programming by in ovo delivery of a synbiotic and
choline.
Description of tasks:
* optimization of sample preparation and collection;
* sampling and documentation of experiments;
* optimization of protocols and preparation of libraries for next-generation sequencing (NGS);
* optimization and performance of chromatin immunoprecipitation experiment;
* analysis of DNA and RNA by PCR, qPCR, RT-qPCR, etc.;
* bioinformatic analysis of NGS data (transcriptome, epigenome);
* other general tasks: cooperation with project partners including international research internships (e.g. to carry out selected parts of research with other project partners), preparation of peer-reviewed manuscripts (delivering minimum 2 original research publications as a part of the doctoral dissertation), dissemination of project results, active participation in scientific conferences (oral presentations). |

Postdoctoral position: Dynamics of the malaria parasite invading the human
erythrocyte |
A two-year postdoctoral position in theory and simulation of biomaterials is
available starting from July the 1st (or earlier) at the Physics of Complex
Systems and Statistical Mechanics Laboratory, Université Libre de Bruxelles,
Brussels () working in collaboration with Dr. B. M.
Mognetti.
Job Summary: In the blood stage of the lifecycle of the malaria parasite, the
merozoite (an egg-shaped colloid) reproduces asexually through subsequent
infections of the human erythrocyte (red cell). In the early stages of the
erythrocyte invasion, the parasite loosely binds the erythrocyte and reorients
itself until placing its symmetry axis orthogonal to the red cell surface. The
reorientation motion is orchestrated by ligand/receptor complexes forming
reversible, interparticle linkages. Conditional on successful alignment, the
parasite pulls itself inside the erythrocyte through molecular motors.
In collaboration with experimentalists, we will validate a mechanistic model
to assess the crucial parameters affecting the reorientation dynamics,
particularly the mechanical properties of the cell membrane and biochemical
details of the membrane proteins mediating the interaction. Models and
simulation methods will be validated using synthetic biology systems. |

Post-doctoral researcher |
Post-doctoral position (2 years) in economics at CESAER (INRAE, Dijon):
optimal design and experimental test of climate mitigation schemes in the
agricultural sector
Supervisors: Valentin Bellassen, Sophie Legras
Associated researchers: Laure Bamière (task 1)
1. Topic and tasks description
1. Task 1: optimal trade-offs between costs and MRV accuracy in PES design
Monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) rules in climate mitigation
schemes such as payments for environmental services (PES) to farmers have many
variants: single mandatory procedure, choice within a menu of options,
discounted payments with uncertainty, obligation/frequency of field visit, …
The objective of this action is to identify which set of rules is optimal,
depending on the context (type of practice considered, importance of
information asymmetry, characteristics of the PES, …). It will be carried out
in three stages and will result in an academic article or a public study:
1. 1. 1. Selection of climate mitigation practices and quantification of the difference sources of uncertainty
The first step is to identify and quantify the sources of uncertainty related
to the monitoring of emissions of a set of climate mitigation practices in the
agricultural sector. This quantification will be carried out through
interviews with the consortium's experts, supported, if necessary, by a
literature search, and will cover both the reference scenario and actual
emissions. Thanks to three recent studies (Foucherot et al., 2019; Pellerin et
al., 2013a, 2019), this step should be quite straightforward in the French
context. A European extension based on FADN data should be considered but is
not a priority.
1. 1. 2. Adaptation of a decision tree to the agricultural cases considered
Bellassen and Shishlov (2016) have developed a microeconomic model of an
emission reduction project that leads to a decision tree for monitoring rules.
The best choice of monitoring rule is thus determined according to:
\- the degree of information asymmetry between the regulator and the project
leader;
\- the cost profile of the project;
\- the regulator's objective (maximising welfare and/or minimising the
transfer of undue resources).
On these three points, the model will be adapted to the agricultural practices
selected in 1.1. A particular attention will be paid to budget constraint and
how it affects the choice of monitoring rules.
1. 1. 3. Sensitivity analysis and co-construction of monitoring rules
On the basis of the two previous actions, the best monitoring rules will be
determined for the selected farming practices. The sensitivity of this result
to the degree of asymmetry of information, to the cost profile of the project
and to the objective of the regulator will be tested. The structure of the
model and the resulting requirements will be discussed to test its realism and
acceptability, and to revise the model and its parameters if relevant.
1. 2. Task 2: experimental testing of alternative designs for a PES aimed at increased vegetal outputs in livestock farms
Animal products account for about two thirds of greenhouse gas emissions from
food (Rogissart et al., 2019). Large-scale studies show that food emissions
cannot be reduced by more than 10-20% by agricultural practices alone, i.e.
without reducing the consumption of animal products (ex. : Pellerin et al.,
2013b; Pérez Domingez et al., 2016; Poux and Aubert, 2018; Tibi et al., 2020).
These low levels of emission reductions are not compatible with the objectives
of the European Union and France (ADEME, 2013; Foucherot et al., 2013).
Reducing livestock numbers and animal protein consumption is therefore a
necessary condition for achieving the European and French climate mitigation
objectives. It is also a key lever on multiple aspects of the sustainability
of food systems (ex. : Bonnet et al., 2020).
Despite this clearly identified imperative, no PES is currently aiming at
reorienting livestock farms, towards more vegetal products. The objective of
this second task is to design such a PES and test its appeal to farmers and
its efficiency through an experimental approach. The default option would be
an online discrete choice experiment (DCE), but alternatives such as lab or
field experiments could be explored. DCE allows assessing people’s preferences
or decisions in hypothetical situation, by presenting them a series of choice
sets to choose from. In doing so, they have to tradeoff monetary attributes
(such as the level of the PSE payment) and non-monetary attributes (such as
PES contract duration, for instance). DCE have been used to elicit farmers’
willingness to participate in agri-environmental schemes focusing on catch
crops adoption, pesticides use, biodiversity protection or afforestation
(Espinosa-Goded et al., Christensen et al., 2011, Breudstedt et al., 2013,
Broch and Vedel, 2012, Kuhfuss et al., 2016). Lab and field experiments allow
testing economic behavior in response to a policy intervention. Participants
are faced with a set of rules and a financial incentive, so that they are paid
at the outset of the experiment in consistency with their choices. They have
been used to inform agricultural policy design, in particular conservation
auctions design (Cason and al. 2003, Schilizzi and Latacz-Lohmann, 2007), the
agglomeration bonus (Parkhurst et al., 2002, Banerjee et al., 2014) or more
general features such as CAP policy framing (Thomas et al., 2019). The
experimental approach will be chosen in consistency with the first task,
during the course of the project. A partnership with local professionals
(cooperatives, GIEE, Chambres d’agriculture, …) will be key. In this respect,
the candidate will benefit from the supervisors’ involvement in other projects
in which such partnerships are key (such as the H2020 LIFT project in Pays de
la Loire).
2. Profile, working conditions, application
1. Profile
* A PhD in economics is necessary. An experience in experimental approaches is appreciated.
* Interest and experience in agricultural or environmental economics, and in particular in the design of PES or other policy instruments is appreciated.

Post Doctoral position in imaging karstic aquifer during flood events with
passive seismics methods |
**Context**
Karst aquifers are critical groundwater resources impacted by land-use and
global climate change.
These reservoirs are known for being complex mediums, generally not
accessible, presenting a highly heterogeneous distribution of permeability
(conduits, fractures, faults, rock matrix). For this reason, their functioning
is still poorly understood.
This research is part of the interdisciplinary **project SISMEAUCLIM**
(2020-2022), which aims at better _characterizing the response of a karst
aquifer in the Jura mountains, at the scale of a catchment basin_ (Fourbanne,
Doubs), _during extreme meteorological events_ (flash floods, drought).
The project involves three teams from the University of Bourgogne-Franche-
Comte, specialized in Seismology, Hydrogeology and Climatology located in the
**Chrono-environnement** (Besançon) and **Biogéosciences institutes** (Dijon).
A PhD thesis linked to the project has started in October 2020, which focuses
in jointly analyzing seismological, hydrogeological and atmospheric data
recorded on the aquifer.
**Work description**
Hydrogeological and passive seismic monitoring of the Fourbanne aquifer have
been carried out for several years by the **SNO Karst** **observatory JURASSIC
KARS** T and the **JURAQUAKE seismological network** (OSU THETA).
This dataset will be completed by a 4-monthacquisition campaign at the end of
2021, which will consist in the deployment and maintenance of 65 seismological
sensors (SISMOB-RESIF) and 30 rain-gauge stations over the whole catchment
basin.
A reconnaissance campaign is in progress and the rain-gauge stations will be
installed by the end of summer 2021.
The post-doctoral position is dedicated to the **_data processing recorded by
this dense seismological network_**. The main task is to _**apply seismic
interferometry methods for monitoring velocity changes induced by water flow
across the catchment basin.**_
The post-doc will take part to the field work together with researchers,
students and technicians involved in the **SISMEAUCLIM project** and
participate to the maintenance of the temporary seismological network. |

PhD in Applied Mathematics at IFPEN: Coupling methods and numerical reductions
to accelerate simulations of CO2 or H2 underground storages |
Numerical simulation is essential to model flow in porous media and in
particular to study underground storages of CO2 or H2. It indeed allows one to
test different scenarii by simulating coupled physical mechanisms stemming
from various domains (geology, geochemistry, flow and soil mechanics...)
The costs of the calculations can however be quite large.
This cost is partly due to the dimensions of the space domain. Indeed, this
area should often be extended beyond the zone of interest by lack of knowledge
of the boundary conditions or to quantify the impact of the storage on the
nearby environment.
Besides a simulator is often implemented so that it only uses one single model
for the whole time-space domain.
Yet, the same effort in the calculations is not necessarily required
everywhere. A simplification of the initial physical model can be considered
within the surrounding aquifers and in the over- and under-burdens, for
instance. A single-phase flow coupled to a poro-elastic rock behaviour may
then be sufficient. On the other hand, this last type of problem is a-priori
well suited to reduction strategies like reduced bases.
This thus provides a strategy of fast simulations by means of coupling and
reduction techniques of physical models.
A first step in this PhD work will then consist in testing different reduction
solutions for a poro-mechanical model implemented at IFPEN and based on finite
volumes and virtual elements. In the following this reduced model will be
coupled to more complex porous-media flow and mechanical models. The aim of
this PhD consists in defining efficient strategies through analysis and
simulation.
Keywords: porous media flows, geomechanics, reduced basis, finite-volume
methods, virtual-element methods

PhD Students in Software Restructuring |
The [Spoofax](http://metaborg.org/) team at TU Delft is pursuing a broad
research program to develop a language workbench that supports high-level
declarative language definition, the generation of programming environments
(including editors, parsers, type checkers, and interpreters/compilers) from
language definitions, and the (automated) verification of properties of
language definitions and their implementations.
One line of research in this program is concerned with the formalization of
the name binding rules in programming languages. To that end, the group has
developed a theory of name resolution based on [scope
graphs](http://pl.ewi.tudelft.nl/research/projects/scope-graphs/), and applied
it in the design and implementation of a meta-language for static semantics.
In dynamic semantics, scope graphs provide a uniform model for memory at
runtime and serve as the basis for intrinsically-typed definitional
interpreters, enabling the automatic verification of type soundness.
We are seeking two PhD Students to join the Spoofax team to (1) extend the
theory and application of scope graphs to the specification of programmable
software restructurings, (2) develop analogs to scope graphs for capturing and
transforming control flow, (3) develop a software restructuring framework for
the C++ programming language based on this framework, and (4) validate the
restructuring infrastructure through restructuring production C++ code at
Philips Healthcare.
We are looking for versatile candidates who can contribute to the development
of theoretical foundations, design of meta-languages, implementation and
integration of languages and libraries in the language workbench, and evaluate
the new techniques in case studies.
For more information see the [publications on scope
graphs](http://pl.ewi.tudelft.nl/research/projects/scope-graphs/). For this
project see the ESOP’15, OOPSLA’18, OOPSLA’20 papers. Also see the work on
[Coccinelle](http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) on patching C programs based on
control-flow graph matching.
The PI on the project is [Eelco Visser](http://eelcovisser.org/). The PhD
student will be co-supervised by [Casper Bach
Poulsen](http://casperbp.net/contact.html). Furthermore the students wil
collaborate with the PhD student from TU Eindhoven, with co-applicants Jan
Friso Groote and Jeroen Keiren at TU Eindhoven, Arjan Mooij from TNO/ESI.

Post-doctoral position in NeuroImmunology
‘Unravelling the neuroprotective roles of macrophages at the brain surface’
3 to 5 years, starting August/September 2021
The surface of the Central Nervous System (CNS) is connected to the periphery
by layers of highly vascularized membranes, the meninges. Although the brain
has been considered immunoprivileged for decades, it has been recently shown
by our team and others that the meninges are populated by a myriad of resident
immune sentinels. Unexpectedly, immune cells specifically located in the
meninges play a role in neuronal function, tissue homeostasis as well as
infectious, inflammatory and age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Due to
their strategic location at the interface between the periphery and the brain,
the meninges thus function as a nurturing tissue enveloping the CNS and also
represent its first line of protection.
Even though meningeal macrophages represent the most promising candidates
involved in CNS function and dysfunction due to their abundance and location,
virtually nothing is known about their properties. The objective of this
project is to understand how macrophages at the brain surface maintain
neuronal functions.
We hypothesize that meningeal macrophages are heterogeneous and that distinct
macrophage subpopulations differ in the magnitude and quality of their pro-
neuronal functions. To address these questions, we will combine
multiparametric flow cytometry, state-of-the-art single-cell transcriptomics,
CRISPR-Cas9 technology, stereotactic injections and intravital imaging
approaches to analyze the heterogeneity and functions of meningeal macrophages
in wild-type and transgenic mouse models.
The candidate must have a PhD in immunology, virology or neuroscience.
Experience with Crispr/Cas9 gene editing, AAV, stereotactic injections,
neuronal tracing, nucSeq RNAseq and/or optogenetics is appreciated.
Applications should be sent to [rua@ciml.univ-mrs.fr](mailto:rua@ciml.univ-

The project aims at the elaboration of novel cancer staging indicators based
on the properties of positronium atoms formed in the human body during the PET
diagnosis and the elaboration of the method for in vivo imaging of these
indicators. The basis of the research constitutes the Jagiellonian Positron
Emission Tomograph (J-PET) whose novelty lies in employing long strips of
plastic scintillators instead of small size crystals as detectors of
annihilation photons. We will explore new possibilities opened by the J-PET
tomograph enabling measurement of the lifetime and production probability of
positronium atoms formed copiously inside human body during the routine PET
imaging. This fact was never used so far in the medical diagnosis. The
probability of creation and lifetime of an ortho-positronium atom depend
strongly on the size of the free volumes between molecules. By the realization
of this project we aim at (i) establishing correlations between values of
novel indicators based on properties of positronium atoms trapped in the
inter-molecular voids inside the cells and the routinely available
histopathological characteristics of tumors as well as (ii) evaluation and
validation of the method for the reconstruction of novel morphometric images
showing the spatial distribution in the diagnosed organism of positronium
properties such as: mean lifetime, production probability and ratio of
annihilation rates into two and three photons. |

Postdoctoral position in fluid mechanics - solid transport in turbulent flows |
The project aims at the study of the transport of anisotropic solid particles
in turbulent flows. Turbulent flows with dispersed anisotropic particles are
ubiquitous in many industrial and natural processes, from papermaking and
wastewater treatment to waterfalls and ocean wave breaking. Anisotropic
particles bring remarkable complexity to the problem, due to their manifold
interactions with the surrounding flow. The aim of the project is to use
simulations and experiments to investigate the transport of solid, liquid or
gaseous anisotropic particles by turbulence. The goal is to gain insight into
important phenomena as particle-particle interaction, re-suspension and
preferential concentration, which in turn modify the underlying turbulence and
play a role in many engineering and environmental applications.
In this context, the proposed project will give experimental focus to the
transport of micro-fibers, as a representative model to address the issue of
micro-plastics present in environment flows. The experiments involve the study
of the solid phase in a turbulent channel flow, using advanced experimental
tools to investigate the two-way interactions: velocimetry techniques to
investigate the fluid phase (PIV, LDV, PTV, LIF, holography) and tracking of
fibers in space and time (velocity, deformation). A further aspect of the
study regards the interaction of fibers with bubbly flows. In that case,
techniques capable of measuring the shape of deformable bubbles, such as
volumetric shadowgraphy, are to be implemented and possibly improved.
The Institute of Marine Engineering collaborates with 4 universities, which
contribute to further experimental topics as well as to numerical simulations. |

PhD Position on Energy Systems Modeling – Incentives and Pricing in Energy
Positive Districts |
Our energy system is changing heavily. In an effort towards decarbonization,
we will need to move away from using unabated fossil fuels in electricity
generation, heating/cooling and transport. As such, we will see increased
interaction between energy vectors, increased levels of electrification, and
increasing shares of renewable energy. Our “old” energy provision system could
be seen as a top down, one-directional supply system. Energy vectors
(electricity, transport fuels, gas for heating) were supplied on system level
and brought to the end-consumer with proper transformation or conversion (low-
voltage electricity, low-pressure gas, end-use oil products). In contrast, in
our future energy system, local generation will play an increasingly important
role, as well as locally deployed flexibility and inter-energy-carrier
conversion and storage. Having in place such a system, and being able to
operate it in an efficient manner obviously poses technical challenges.
We have a fully funded PhD position available, within the project “Energy
Positive Districts - Identifying technically-feasible and effective solutions
towards decarbonization under existing boundary conditions” (KU Leuven C2
project). The focus of this PhD within this project is on incentives and
pricing, and the regulatory context. This envisaged work encompasses the
development of a model framework focusing on incentives for investment
behavior and operational decision making. Analysis will focus on the pricing
discrepancy of energy carriers, the way of pricing energy vectors (e.g.,
energy, capacity, fixed) and the identification of alternative pricing
schemes/improvements. The EU ETS reform and its implications are also to be
considered. The PhD candidate can start from existing energy systems models
and dedicated expertise available in the research group, and will collaborate
with other research group members. |

4 PhD positions under the MSCA ITN program - LeADS: Legality Attentive Data
Scientists - 956562 |
The ESR/doctoral researchers will be working in the framework of the ETN
Project **LeADS: Legality Attentive Data Scientists** (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2020).
The ESR’s main task will be to collaborate to the Research and Training
program LeADS as envisaged in the Grant Agreement and to eventually prepare
their doctoral thesis in the same framework. The PhD thesis work will be
undertaken at SSSA (Pisa, Italy) in the **national PhD on Artificial
Intelligence** administered by the University of Pisa. As doctoral students,
the ESRs will be jointly-supervised under the direction of the LeADS
consortium and will spend also secondment(s) at Consortium members.
**LeADS ETN** research and educational program will train new
**interdisciplinary professional figures** that we call Legality Attentive
Data Scientists or LeADS. LeADS will be an expert in data science and law
expected to work within and across the two disciplines, a leader in bridging
scientific skills with the ethic-legal constraints of their operating
environment.
LeADS will develop a data science capable of maintaining its innovative
solutions within the borders of law – by design and by default – and of
helping expand the legal frontiers in line with innovation needs, preventing
the enactment of legal rules technologically unattainable.
Each ESR/doctoral researcher will be assigned to one of the main general
topics of the ETN LeADS listed below
ESR 1
Project Title: Reciprocal interplay between competition law and privacy in the
digital revolution
Objectives: Data are more and more important resources in the so-called
Digital Revolution: the impact on competition law is increasingly relevant and
so are the implications of data protection law on competition law. The
researcher will address these implications, analysing some relevant topics:
the impact of data portability and the requirements in terms of
interoperability in the new GDPR compared to the barriers to entry and to
market dominance; how customer data can be “assessed” as an index of market
dominance for the big information providers (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon);
and how SMEs can benefit from data protection law and competition law in order
to increase their volume in the market.
ESR 3
Project Title: Unchaining data portability potentials in a lawful digital
economy
Objectives: Empirically test the potentials of the right to data portability.
The research in the framework of LeADS will relate data portability not only
to data protection law, but also to competition law and unfair business
practices (e.g., offer or price discrimination between groups of consumers
through profiling operations), setting the scene for their regulatory
interplay in line with current and forthcoming technologies. In doing so
specific attention will be offered to the possible technical solutions to
guarantee effective portability. Additionally, the technical, statistical, and
privacy implications of the new right will be evaluated, such as the need for
standard formats for personal data, and the exception in Article 20.2 of the
GDPR, according to which the personal data, upon request by the data subject,
should be transmitted from one controller to another “where technically
feasible”.
ESR 5
Project Title: Differential privacy and differential explainability in the
data sphere: the use case of predictive jurisprudence
Objectives: Human life and economy are exponentially data driven. The switch
from residential to cloud based data storage is making increasingly difficult
to reap the maximum from data while minimizing the chances of identifying
individuals in datasets. Researcher will explore the interplay between
differential privacy technologies and the data protection regulatory framework
in search of effective mixes.
ESR 14
Project Title: Neuromarketing and mental integrity between market and human
rights
Objectives: ESR’s research question is whether and how neuromarketing can
affect human rights of individuals, considering in particular recent
interpretations of rights contained in the European Convention of Human Rights
and in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, in particular “mental privacy”,
“cognitive freedom”, and “psychological continuity”. Indeed, advanced data
analytics provide a very high level of understanding of users’ behaviour,
sometimes even beyond the conscious self-understanding of the users themselves
exploiting all user’s idiosyncrasies, including user’s vulnerabilities harming
the exercise of free decision making |

Effect of ion pair formation on phase equilibria of electrolyte containing
mixtures |
Circular economy involves the re-use of waste material as renewable resource.
This requires sometimes high technology processes, because high product
purities may be required and the waste is generally a complex mixture. The
optimization of such a process therefore necessitates a good understanding of
the physico-chemical phenomena occurring during the separation steps. These
steps are often based on phase separations between an aqueous stream and
either a solvent, a vapour or a solid. Such phase equilibrium modelling is
performed using thermodynamic models.
Thermodynamic modelling of aqueous electrolyte systems is particularly
challenging because of several difficulties. The first is the complexity of
the fluids, possibly containing organic or inorganic molecular species, acids,
bases and dissolved metal ions. The presence of ionic species implies taking
into account long-range electrostatic interactions between ions in addition to
short range ones. The second complexity is related to the physical and/or
chemical equilibria occurring within the fluid. These equilibria are very
sensitive to the dielectric constant of the medium, that in turn depends on
the fluid composition, temperature and pressure. It is therefore needed to
couple reactive and physical equilibrium.
IFPEN has been working on this subject for a number of years, and has
developed an equation of state that allows predictive phase equilibrium
computations for molecular species. It has been found that the phase
equilibrium behaviour of a mixture of water, alcohol together with an acid and
a base, is extremely sensitive to ion pairing. This phenomenon can be modelled
using a chemical equilibrium approach, but this implies (1) that these new
species must be characterized and (2) that a combined chemical and physical
equilibrium must be computed. The proposed research theme will focus on the
modelling of such systems by investigating the effect of the formation of ion
pairs. Multi-component mixtures (acid, base, co-solvent and water) will be
used as test examples. New experimental data may need to be acquired. |

Additional information:
The project is financed under the NCN SONATA BIS competition no. "Applied
remote sensing and geophysical imaging in recognition of the changes of the
water balance in High Arctic catchments". The project is scheduled for 48
months.
The main objective of the project is a comprehensive water balance study in
two High Arctic mountainous catchments located in Svalbard to investigate the
heterogeneity in the cryo-hydro-meteorological conditions and their seasonal
dynamics.
Such complex investigation will be achieved by interdisciplinary approach:
1. Investigation of water balance in each catchment taking into account new measurements of runoff, precipitation gradient, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, glacier mass balance, snow cover, ground temperature, and groundwater.
2. Analyses of hydro-meteorological time series using in-situ and remote measurements (GPR and UAV), to recognize the dynamics of hydrological and topoclimatological processes at a range of temporal scales in different sites.
3. Analyses of the added value of new time series (evaporation, precipitation, soil moisture, groundwater) on the constraining hydrological models to limit uncertainty of simulations.
We propose an integrated approach taking into account the freeze-thaw cycles
of water in the soil, to describe and model hydrological processes. These
cycles influence river discharge by changing the hydraulic properties of the
soil and by either contributing to or preventing infiltration. It is planned
to use cryo-hydro-geological models for a better understanding of processes
linking hydrology and permafrost under varying climatic conditions for the
first time in Svalbard. In particular, we would like to analyse (i) an
influence of active layer thickness on the surface and near-surface water
storage, drainage, and routing; (ii) test the effect of surface water, soil
moisture, and groundwater on permafrost distribution and degradation; (iii)
analyse how active layer thickness changes in the past have altered observed
discharge patterns; (iv) and how future permafrost degradation will influence
the hydrological regime.
The work will be carried out under the supervision of:
Dr. hab. Marzena Osuch ([marz@igf.edu.pl](mailto:marz@igf.edu.pl)) and dr.

We apply structural biology methods in order to gain a mechanistic view of
CK1ε action in the Wnt signalling pathways. CK1ε represents an attractive
therapeutic target but currently two key steps in the CK1ε-mediated Wnt signal
transduction are unclear: (Project 1) how CK1ε gets activated and/or engages
target proteins in response to Wnt signal and (Project 2) how CK1ε
phosphorylates its key substrate DVL and what are the consequences of DVL
phosphorylation.
We apply methods of integrated structural biology to (i) probe the DVL
conformational landscape using in vitro and in vivo FRET sensors coupled to
SAXS and CryoEM, (ii) understand the (auto)phosphorylation regulatory
mechanisms of CK1ε, (iii) analyse by NMR the functional consequences of DVL
phosphorylation and (iv) monitor DVL phosphorylation by real-time NMR under
controlled cellular conditions.
Both positions (PhD or PostDoc level) are part of a multidisciplinary project
that combines (i) cellular and molecular biology, (ii) proteomic analysis,
(iii) biochemistry and structural biology, and received generous funding in a
very competitive grant scheme.

Junior Professor in Natural Language Processing and Multimedia Interaction |
Research
Learning meaningful and useful representations of unstructured language and
multimedia data is a research topic of large current interest. The
representations, which are often continuous in nature and realized with deep
learning techniques, make it easier to extract useful information from
language and multimedia data. They have the potential to be integrated in
innovative models for interaction with machines, for instance, in human-
machine communication, or in automated search, classification, mining and
recommendation of web data. Possible application areas to valorize the
research regard automated understanding of language, natural language and
multimodal interaction with machines, chatbots, cross-lingual and cross-modal
machine translation, information retrieval and question answering, content-
based recommendation, online retail, and the mining of text and multimedia
data in web, social media and professional settings. Research in
representation learning also provides possibilities to outreach to the domain
of computer graphics where this approach becomes increasingly important. The

PhD position within maritime simulation and pedagogical methods |
### This is NTNU
At NTNU, creating knowledge for a better world is the vision that unites our 9
000 employees and 42 000 students.
We are looking for dedicated employees to join us.
You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the position
We have a vacant PhD position for research related to the topic:
**Becoming a professional through simulation-based training**
The announced PhD project is part of a larger research project, Professional
education, and simulation-based training (PROSIM). PROSIM is a comparative
study of simulation-based practices in maritime, health and biomedical
laboratory science education. To prepare students for entering the workplace,
professional education in these fields requires practical as well as
theoretical training. On this educational path, the students need to acquire
not only the technical skills, but also start learning about the social and
cultural codes of professional practice, such as models of hierarchy,
communication practice, social roles, and the subtle understanding of division
of labor. Simulations can provide a unique opportunity to prepare and assess
students in a risk-free environment, that can contextualize training in work
relevant technical and social scenarios. PROSIM draws on situated, distributed
and socio-cultural theories to study professional learning in everyday
simulation practice.
The PhD will contribute to our understanding of the relationship between
professional education and the professional fields the students are training
to become part of, emphasizing the use of simulation-based training to prepare
the candidates. The candidate should have primary focus on simulation in
maritime education. The comparative ambition of PROSIM will be attended to by
comparing choices in maritime education with the practices in the other two
fields, opening for an outside perspective on taken for granted premises
within its own field. The applicant should frame their project to fit within
one, or a combination of, these identified overall questions:
* How do the different social, material, and cultural premises for simulation-based training shape the simulation activities in maritime, health science and biomedical laboratory science?
* How are simulations used to bridge theory and professional practice in the different fields?
* How are the simulation experience connected to the specific professional practices which students are training for?
* In what ways do simulations in different fields prepare students for their future professional life?
The applicant should develop the project proposal according to the attached
[template](https://studntnu-
my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/madsso_ntnu_no/EaLq8I09dTlDiROfUK4GnkgBfrNFkg8zHHaGVHcQyzkTuA?rtime=4CcYaIwm2Ug)
and is encouraged to contact the supervision team for more information and for
input on the proposal, and the formulation of relevant research questions. The
applicant must show in the project proposal how the project is anchored
theoretically in the use of simulation in education. The project proposal must
state how the candidate intends to proceed in order to collect empirical data
and include privacy and ethical considerations. The research proposal should
also consider the methodical and comparative ambitions of the project.
You will report to Head of department.
## Duties of the position
PROSIM is an interdisciplinary research project, with strong emphasis on
interdisciplinary dialogue. The candidate is expected to participate actively
in the research group and visit the campus of the other participating partners
in Gothenburg and USN during the project.

PostDoc position: Deciphering Host-Pathogen-Interactions through High-
Throughput Genetic Screening |
**_Project_ :** Many pathogens have the capacity to invade human cells and to
exploit the interior of their host cell as a replicative niche. While human
cells have powerful defense programs that can restrict the growth of such
invaders, successful pathogens evolved to counteract these defenses. A
profound understanding of the molecular basis of this arms race could pave the
way for innovative therapeutics. We are currently seeking a postdoctoral
researcher for a project that will apply high-throughput genetic screening
(e.g. CRISPR/Cas9 screening, siRNA screening, bacterial mutant library
screening) to identify key players in host-pathogen interaction, cell-
autonomous immunity and immune evasion during infection with the obligate
intracellular bacterial pathogen _Chlamydia trachomatis_.
**_Environment_ : **The Sixt Lab is part of the **** Laboratory for Molecular
Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) at Umeå University (located in Umeå, Sweden).
MIMS is a part of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine and of
the Umeå Centre for Microbial Research (UCMR), providing a stimulating,
collaborative, and highly international environment with excellent access to
modern research facilities. This includes for instance the high-content
imaging platforms at the Chemical Biology Consortium Sweden (CBCS) in Umeå.
The city Umeå itself combines a rich cultural life with exceptional closeness
to nature and is particularly welcoming to internationals.
**_Qualifications_ :** Candidates must hold a University degree equivalent to
a European University PhD degree in molecular biology, cell biology, or
infection biology (or equivalent fields) at the time of the recruitment. To be
eligible, you should have completed your PhD degree a maximum of three years
before the end of the application period, unless special circumstances exist.
Candidates must have documented practical experience in working with human
cell cultures and intracellular bacterial pathogens. Moreover, previous
experience in molecular genetic manipulation of bacteria and human cells,
genetic screening approaches and fluorescence microscopy is required.
Candidates should be passionate about science, willing to take on scientific
challenges, and committed to highest quality research. Candidates are expected
to be proficient in written and spoken English, to work as part of an
interactive team, to participate in the mentoring of less experienced team
members, and in particular to have the capacity to individually develop and
drive a research project.
**_Project duration_** **:** 2 years (with possibility for further
prolongation depending on satisfactory performance)
**_Starting date_** **:** preferentially fall 2021 (can be negotiated)
**_Application_** **:** You can apply through the Umeå University recruitment
system: [Link to application

PhD Position in Human-In-the-Loop AI |
Despite their impressive performance, machine learning systems remain largely
unreliable in safety-, trust- and ethically sensitive domains. Recent
discussions in several sub-fields of AI have reached the consensus of
knowledge need in machines; few discussions, however, have touched upon the
diagnosis of what knowledge is needed.
The aim of this PhD project is to develop human-in-the-loop methods and tools
for the diagnosis of machine unknowns, a critical step towards reliable and
trustworthy AI. We consider humans to be an indispensable means to
understanding the knowns and unknowns of intelligent machines, through human
interpretation of machine behavior and human creation of knowledge
requirements. We also consider computational algorithms as a vital tool to
assist humans in knowledge reasoning at scale, under uncertainty. The PhD
candidate will, therefore, conduct both empirical and theoretical research,
with primary activities characterized by the design, implementation, and
analysis of human studies, computational algorithms, and human-in-the-loop
systems.
Knowing machine unknowns is essential for both making AI –debugging the
machine– and using AI –deciding when to trust the machine output– in any
context. We envision the project to have both a tremendous scientific and
practical impact, across all areas where AI and machine learning are applied.
The position is offered within the Web Information Systems (WIS) group at TU
Delft. The WIS group concentrates its research on engineering and science of
the Web, considering specifically the role of human-generated data in the
engineering of Web-based information systems. The WIS group is an
internationally leading research group with researchers and students advancing
the state of the art in the following disciplines: large-scale data
processing, information and knowledge extraction, information retrieval, human
computation and crowdsourcing, human-computer interaction, and user modeling. |

PhD student in homotopy type theory and univalent foundation |
About Homotopy Type Theory and Univalent Foundations
Homotopy Type Theory is a young area of logic, combining ideas from several
established fields: the use of dependent type theory as a foundation for
mathematics, inspired by ideas and tools from abstract homotopy theory.
Univalent Foundations are foundations of mathematics based on the homotopical
interpretation of type theory.
Topics in HoTT/UF
Despite a flurry of discoveries in HoTT/UF in recent years, many open
questions remain. Possible PhD projects include
* Syntax and semantics of type theories,
* Formalization and mechanization of results from mathematics and computer science in univalent foundations / two-level type theory,
* Design and implementation of domain-specific type theories,
* Univalence principle and its applications. |

Post-doc (M/F): Enabling technologies for multifunction guided atom
interferometers on atom chips |
A post-doc position is currently available in the Atom Interferometry and
Inertial Sensors team at SYRTE. The candidate will work on cold atom detection
methods, enabling the realization of multifunction inertial sensors using cold
atoms trapped/guided on an atom chips [1]. The research activities will be
performed in an existing experimental setup in which preliminary
demonstrations of nondestructive atom detection have been performed [2,3].
The work will be focused on the development and demonstration of compact
essential elements of a cold atom inertial sensor [4]. These elements are the
light sources to realize the beam splitter and mirror pulses; the multiplexing
of Bragg and Raman pulses for the choice of the atom interferometer to be set
up. Indeed, the realization of a sensor with trapped or magnetically guided
atoms requires Bragg pulses in order to keep the atoms in a trapped state. On
the other hand, Raman transitions are also useful in order to obtain an atomic
source with a high degree of coherence.
An important aspect that we will explore is the reduction of the death time of
a cold atom sensor. Indeed, any cold atom interferometer needs an atom cooling
time of more than a few hundred milliseconds. Therefore, any inertial
measurement is affected by this dead time which is detrimental to the
stability of the sensor. We will therefore investigate the realization of
nondestructive measurements that will allow to make several interferometric
measurements with the same cold atom cloud [2].
In addition, the work will be carried out in close collaboration with our
industrial partners Kylia and Thales Research&Technology. Kylia will develop
compact optical benches that will be characterized in our metrology facilities
at SYRTE, and Thales will work on a complementary architecture of atom
interferometers for sensing.

PhD position - Atmospheric Sciences: Development of a multiphase chemical box
model for the analysis of chamber and field experiments |
**Work group:**
IEK-8 - Troposphäre
**Area of research:**
PHD Thesis
**Job description:**
Anthropogenic activities, in particular increasing energy use and production,
and natural processes release large quantities of trace substances into the
atmosphere influencing living conditions on Earth. At the Institute for Energy
and Climate Research, Troposphere (IEK-8), we investigate the chemical and
physical processes in the troposphere which have a major impact on the
chemical composition of the atmosphere. Processes are studied by field
measurements and chamber experiments, where different working groups deal with
different aspects, as photochemistry and radicals, reactive trace substances
or aerosols. Model activities include the use and development of the Modular
Earth Submodel System (MESSy) which allows for chemical studies at highly
variable degrees of complexity, i.e. in 0d box model or 3d global and regional
chemistry climate simulations. In order to improve the overall understanding
of tropospheric chemistry processes, the link between the experimental and the
modelling tools should be strengthened.
**Your Job:**
The MESSy software [www.messy-interface.org](https://www.messy-interface.org/)
provides the ideal basis for the application of process description and
diagnostics within different kind of models. Mostly MESSy is applied in
3-dimensional global and regional models. In this project the same software
will be used and further developed to drive a 0-dimensional model (also called
box model) for the analysis of atmospheric chamber experiments. In this way,
new findings from the analysis of chamber experiments can be directly applied
within the 3d models used with MESSy. Analysing chamber and field experiments
with this tool will enable to advance our knowledge in radical chemistry and
assess its global impacts on the atmospheric oxidation capacity and aerosol
formation. Your tasks in detail:
* Starting from a technically working atmospheric chemistry box model, your task will be to further develop the box model in order to provide boundary conditions and include process descriptions relevant for the respective chamber experiments. This could, for example, be the improvement of the multiphase oxidation mechanisms of organic compounds.
* The aim of this project is to expand an atmospheric chemistry box model with a technical infrastructure for the standardized provision of boundary conditions and driving data and proof its functionality by the analysis of chamber experiments performed at IEK-8. In order to facilitate the analysis of the model results additional on-line diagnostics should be developed and implemented in the MESSy software.
**Your Profile:**
* Master degree in chemistry, physics, environmental sciences or a related field (e.g. computer science, mathematics) with good final grade (German system equivalent 2.0 or better)
* Programming experience is essential. Knowledge of Fortran, experience with Linux/Unix environments as well as with the usage of HPC clusters are of advantage
* Basic knowledge of (atmospheric) organic chemistry is essential
* Knowledge of atmospheric sciences is of advantage
* Good skills in data evaluation using mathematical script routines
* Ability to work in an international team, good skills in the spoken and written English language
**Our Offer:**
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you
the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We offer ideal conditions
for you to complete your doctoral degree:
* A highly motivated working group as well as an international and interdisciplinary working environment at one of Europe’s largest research establishments
* Outstanding scientific and technical infrastructure
* Opportunity to participate in (international) conferences and project meetings
* Continuous scientific mentoring by your scientific advisor
* Further development of your personal strengths, e.g. via a comprehensive further training programme
* A structured doctoral degree programme for you and your supervisors with a comprehensive further training and networking package on our doctoral researchers’ platform JuDocs [www.fz-juelich.de/judocs](https://www.fz-juelich.de/judocs)
* Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service
The position is initially for a fixed term of 3 years. Pay above average in
line with 67,5 % of pay group 13 of the Collective Agreement for the Public
Service (TVöD-Bund) and additionally 60 % of a monthly salary as special
payment („Christmas bonus“). Further information on doctoral degrees at

Promovendus in Computational Modelling of Morphogenesis in Biomaterials |
Material growth is ubiquitous in nature and in engineering systems.
Understanding the mechanisms that govern this multi-physics phenomenon will
prove fundamental in diverse areas of science and engineering, including
design of innovative bio-inspired materials, classification of tumours for
optimal treatment, and patient-specific medicine, to name a few.
The computational modelling of growth and morphogenesis presents significant
challenges as a result of the interplay between several coupled mechanisms,
which include the large deformation of the soft solid, the diffusion of
nutrients sustaining the growth through the solid, and the chemical reactions.
In addition to modelling challenges, algorithmic challenges also arise when
considering large-scale problems in arbitrary three-dimensional settings.
In this PhD project you will use novel mathematical models to describe the
coupled problem of material growth, you will develop algorithms simulating the
evolution of the multi-physics system and you will implement these algorithms
in an object-oriented finite element software library written in C++/Python.
The end goal of the work is to advance our understanding of how material
growth interacts with environmental factors.
Within this broad area, there is room to shape the project to your own
interests. You will develop your research in a vibrant, multi-disciplinary
team, where you will have the opportunity to build up your own research
network. |

targets for 1GW by 2030 and 40 GW by 2050. Currently, there are numerous wave
energy converters (WEC) and scaling up to GW scale installations will require
massive deployments. Different WECs have different geometries and thus
different wave structure interactions. These floating bodies interactions
depend on numerous parameters such resource, size, principle of wave energy
extraction operation, etc. A key feature in WEC operation is that they have to
ensure survivability, reliability without increasing their costs, whilst also
quantifying potential investment deferrals.
This PhD position will investigate wave structure interactions in large scale
WEC farms, with different geometries, leading to the design of tool(s) and
methodologies. There are several challenges when WEC farms are designed, they
can be influenced by in-farm wave structure interactions. Changing the packing
factors of WEC can lead to increased/decreased power production, wave
reduction and change in propagated resources.
During your PhD you will work with numerical simulation of different WECs
(with potential methods of computational fluid dynamics, etc), investigating
ways to optimally deploy different and mixed wave farms, you will investigate
the power production, reliability, survivability and wave wake effects from
the structures. The research will also look into the optimal positioning for
different outcomes based on advanced models, such as machine learning, genetic
algorithms, etc
As a PhD candidate you will be part of the Offshore Engineering section in the
Hydraulic Engineering department, supervised by Dr. George Lavidas and Prof.
Dr. Andrei Metrikine. As part of this project, you will be given the
opportunity to work with leading academic and industrial partners. |

### The biological activities connected with wound healing are extremely
varied, complex, and dependent on several factors, therefore biological
processes related to every wound area and structure are changing over time.
Scientists have been trying to mimic the multifunctional behavior of natural
biological structures during the last few years. To overcome these issues, a
novel class of materials capable of treating the injury with different
therapeutic strategies is needed. Moreover, the possibility of triggering a
single therapeutic process on-demand at a well-defined place and the precise
time is a key factor in developing an ideal biomaterial for wound healing
treatments.
### This research aims to design, develop, and test the applicability of
nanocomposites made by the combination of hydrogel and electrospun nanofibers
for wound healing application, having unique optical, mechanical, and chemical

Post-doc in Aeroelasticity |
**Exploiting data from wind-tunnel experiments of a transonic, aeroelastic
wing-model with physics-informed data-driven approaches.**
Wind tunnel tests are an essential tool to aeroelastycity: in this framework,
the aerodynamics and the structural mechanics of the model couple into the
observed phenomena, making both aerodynamic and structural measurements
essential to characterise the coupled system. This generates databases of
physically linked aerodynamic and structural measurements that need to be
post-processed and combined to reconstruct and, hopefully, comprehend the
underlying physics.
The joint ONERA/DLR project CRP FIGURE offers a typical example of this kind
of databases. It saw the collaboration of the two institutes to design two
different wind-tunnel models to be the subject of extensive wind-tunnel tests,
performed in 2020 at ONERA. On the one hand, the campaign was intended to
verify the expected performances of the wings in terms of gust-load
alleviation; on the other hand, it was the opportunity to generate a database
of transonic aeroelastic measurements, using state-of-the-art techniques on
the structural and aerodynamic sides.
Optical techniques, alongside with more traditional pressure probes and
accelerometers, were employed during the tests: steady and unsteady pressure
fields on moving surfaces have been measured via pressure-sensitive-paint
(PSP) [1], while model-deformation-measurements (MDM) [2] were used to
quantify wing shape under aerodynamic loadings. This made available a well-
documented database, not limited to the raw measurements but extended also to
structural and aerodynamic models of the set-up.
This postdoc aims to exploit and analyse this database via data-driven
techniques in order to (i) reconstruct of the aeroelastic system and (ii) to
shed light into the physical interaction between aerodynamics and structural
mechanics. The analysis should put to good use the models available as a part
of the database, allowing for a physic-based approach to the analysis [3]. The
main idea is to use the structural model and the available calibration data
from the ground vibration tests (GVT) to better reconstruct the deformation
and load measurements partially available from the experimental campaign on
the model.
The successful applicant would be in charge of developing the tools to combine
the experimental observation with the structural – and, if needed, aerodynamic
– model in order to reconstruct the state of the wing during the aerodynamic
tests, namely the pressure on the surface and the deformation of the model.
The results will contribute to the numerical return of the experiments and
they are to be presented in peer-reviewed journals and conferences of the
fluid-structure community.
Furthermore, the knowledge and the tools developed within this postdoc will be
a further step towards the fusion of measurements coming from different
techniques and physical quantities in order to characterise a phenomenon that
intrinsically couples different physics.

Traffic Heterogeneity with Connectivity and Connected Automated Vehicles |
For decades, an important focus of many traffic management measures has been
on improving traffic homogeneity as a prerequisite for improved traffic flow
and performance. Traffic homogeneity, when harmonised, or traffic
heterogeneity, when disturbances exist, relates to the extent to which minor
differences between vehicles and disturbances in traffic are present and can
influence the ability of a road reach optimum capacity. Disturbances can have
many causes, such as lane vehicle maneuvers (e.g. lane-change, acceleration,
deceleration), differences in vehicle capabilities and regulations (e.g.
maximum speed limit or acceleration rates) and human driving styles.
Disturbances can also be external, such as the influence of weather
(precipitation, wind, luminance) or infrastructural (road curvature, road
surface quality).
In the past decade, the increasing prospect of vehicle and infrastructure
connectivity has appeared, as well as the introduction of the first automated
vehicles, which build on decades of development of Advanced Driver Assistant
Systems (ADAS). Much has been hypothesised about the potential influence of
such technologies with a broad range of experimental (field testing and
simulated) work being performed. However, there remains a lack of deeper
theoretical understanding of the extent to which these technologies will
influence the fundamental aspects of traffic heterogeneity, which is so key to
traffic performance.
This PhD project is therefore initiated with the express purpose to
investigate and develop traffic theory on traffic heterogeneity with the view
of a future with mixed connected automated vehicles and connected (road-side)
technology.
Some main elements of the project may include:
* Study the current state-of-the-art in traffic heterogeneity and the influence of connected technologies, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance systems) and ADS (Automated Driving Systems) on traffic flow and heterogeneity
* Empirically investigate the influence of current vehicles and vehicle technology on traffic heterogeneity (incl. ADAS and early ADS)
* Investigate (experimentally) the influence of future vehicles and vehicle technology on traffic heterogeneity (incl. higher levels of ADS and vehicle/infrastructure connectivity)
* Develop theory to describe traffic and vehicle dynamics in current and future traffic flow
* Develop a model based on the developed theory that is implementable to perform impact assessment of future traffic with connectivity and connected automated vehicles |

Advanced analysis of scattering data: Machine learning and numerical tools |
Using today’s computing power and software packages it has become possible to
analyze large and multidimensional experimental scattering data. The process
of converting these data into useful scientific information, however, can be
challenging.Popular machine learning models, such as artificial _neural
networks_ , have recently shown significant advantages in terms of speed over
other computational methods that are usually employed to extract the essential
parameters of the investigated systems [1,2].
Within the field of soft matter physics, our group studies the fundamental
structural properties, particularly the growth process, of organic thin films
[3]. In this context, we collect X-ray scattering data using highly
specialized synchrotron beamlines, e.g. at the ESRF in Grenoble or at Petra
III in Hamburg. Modern area detector technology allows us to record enormous
amounts of complex data, however, usually data analysis remains the bottleneck
for the scientific output.

Open Early Stage Researcher/PhD Position in Artificial Intelligence: From
Grey-box Models to Explainable Models |
One ESR PhD position in Artificial Intelligence within the framework of
NL4XAI: Interactive Natural Language Technology for Explainable Artificial
Intelligence, a project funded by the [European Union’s Horizon
2020](https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/860621) research and innovation
programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Grant Agreement No. 860621.
NL4XAI is a European Training Network (ETN) project, which will train 11
creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers (ESRs), who
will face the challenge of making Artificial Intelligence (AI) self-
explanatory and thus contribute to translating knowledge into products and
services for economic and social benefit, with the support of Explainable AI
(XAI) systems.
The focus of NL4XAI is in the automatic generation of interactive explanations
in natural language, just as humans naturally do, and as a complement to
visualization tools. As a result, ESRs are expected to leverage the usage of
AI models and techniques even by non-expert users.
**Reference number:** NL4XAI- ESR2
**PhD research topic:** From grey-box models to explainable models
**Objectives:** To define, design, develop and implement an agnostic-based
approach for providing Natural Language explanations of Bayesian Networks
reasoning using a linguistic imprecise knowledge representation and reasoning
method. Taking as a starting point the interpretation of Bayesian variables,
values and probability functions as imprecise quantified statements, the
Bayesian reasoning process will be modelled as a quantified syllogism, which
can be solved as a mathematical programming problem.
The target is to propose, test and validate models for explaining in Natural
Language different reasoning schemes, such as predictive, diagnostic, or
inter-causal, with an efficient implementation for addressing scalability
problems which may occur in large Bayesian Networks. The explanation models
will be based both in the agnostic-based approach herein considered as well as
in the results of ESR3.
The theoretical contributions of this research will be validated in:
1. academic use cases provided by the state-of-the-art graphic tools for Bayesian Reasoning; and
2. a real use case (“Experiences, offering, demand and classification in semantic-search processes applied to business processes”) defined in one of the inter-sectoral secondments (Indra).
**Expected Results:** A fully functional web service coming from:
1. Theoretical understanding of the state of the art in approximate reasoning (namely fuzzy quantified syllogism and Bayesian reasoning).
2. Discussion of previous approaches to the Natural Language explanation of Bayesian Networks.
3. Definition and implementation of an agnostic-based methodology for explaining the most relevant types of Bayesian Networks reasoning.
4. Validation of the proposed methodology in use cases where the quality of the generated explanations will be assessed by human users.

PhD Position - Developement of a Photonic Lab-on-chip platform for micro- and
nano-suspensions characterization. Towards the measurement of
dissolution/precipitation kinetics of interest for the nuclear fuel cycle |
**Thesis description: context and objectives**
This doctoral thesis is supported by the Laboratory of Recycling and
Valorization processes for carbon-free Energetic systems (LRVE), belonging to
the Research Department on Mining and Fuel Recycling Processes of CEA
Marcoule, and the Chemical Engineering Laboratory of Toulouse, CNRS mixed
research unit n. 5503, in collaboration with the IUSTI laboratory, CNRS mixed
research unit n.7343 of Aix-Marseille University. The thesis is inscribed
within the framework of the studies carried out at CEA, on the dissolution and
precipitation processes involved in the spent nuclear fuel recycling
processes, but it equally lies on IUSTI laboratory expertise in light
scattering studies on particulate systems, and on the works performed by LGC
towards the comprehension of nucleation phenomena.
The main objective of this thesis work is the conception and development of a
series of microfluidic tools allowing for the detection/characterization of
particles in suspension. Indeed, both for scientific reasons (small scale
studies, comprehension and control of phenomena, etc) and for the minimization
of costs, risks and hazardous waste, precipitation and dissolution experiments
are more and more frequently implemented at the microfluidic/millifluidic
scale by the different CEA research teams. Analogously, the same interests
apply to the analytical techniques related to their monitoring and
comprehension.
In this regard, CEA Marcoule works since a few years ago in the development of
opto/microfluidic analytical devices designed ad-hoc for the current study of
different processes (dissolution, liquid-liquid extraction, precipitation,
etc.) [1-4]. While previous works have been focused on the characterization of
single liquid phase properties (concentration, free acidity, etc.), this new
approach proposes to focus on detection of solids in suspension, either as
isolated particles or as granulometric populations. On this purpose, it aims
to investigate the contribution and interest of different techniques already
studied by the three involved research teams – i.e. digital in-line holography
(DIH), on-line UV-visible light extinction spectroscopy (LES), dynamic light
scattering (DLS) and multi-angle static light scattering analysis (MASLS) - as
well as their complementarity at the microfluidic scale.
**State of the art**
Up to date, dissolution studies are mainly performed by means of liquid phase
monitoring [5], and more recently, by means of isolated particles monitoring
using microscopy imaging coupled to ad-hoc developed image processing [6].
Regarding to nucleation and growth phenomena associated to mineral phases
precipitation, the temporal evolution of particles size distributions is
classically obtained by means of focused beam reflectance measurements (FBRM)
[7] or by image processing [8] by using in-situ probes and/or cameras inside
reactors. However, the treatment of the obtained signals becomes in some cases
complex (intersected-twin crystals, aggregates, important anisotropy) and can
question the reliability of data. For that reason, in order to couple image
analysis and granulometric data on complex populations, this kind of approach
tends to naturally be transposed to microfluidic systems, which permit a good
control of operational (temperature, pressure), physic-chemical (mass
transfer, pH, salinity…) and hydrodynamic conditions. It is also worth noting
that these systems can potentially allow for decoupling particular phenomena,
as nucleation and growth, which can result advantageous for their study. At
the microfluidic scale, the state of the art in the use of optical techniques
for solids characterization in suspension is relatively poor. Most of studies
presented in literature are based on the coupling of microfluidics and DLS
techniques [9, 10, 11], where measurements are often performed by means of
external and non-versatile equipment. Additionally, it is to be noted that DLS
is not (or very little) compatible with flowing systems. In parallel, some
examples of the implementation of lens-free imaging (holographic systems) can
also be found in literature, allowing for the monitoring and measurement of
micrometric objects [12], or even the coupling of optical microscopy and
microfluidic systems for the study of nucleation rates [13]. In all these
examples, the association between optical techniques and microfluidic systems
is a sensitive matter.
To surpass this technological gap, which would permit to take full advantage
of the benefits offered by the microfluidic scale, we propose in this thesis
the development of optofluidic systems for the characterization of solids in
suspension in the bulk of two-phase segmented or single-phase flows, by
exploiting light scattering properties. Ad hoc microfluidic systems will be
conceived, monolithically integrating micro-optical elements (lenses, mirrors,
waveguides/fiber optics…) [14] and optical methods will be developed, based on
scattering measurements coupled to exact electromagnetic modelling [15, 16].
The thesis work will be directed by Fabrice Lamadie (CEA, Marcoule) and Isaac
Rodriguez-Ruiz (CNRS, Toulouse). The experimental work will essentially be
carried out at LRVE. The theoretical works on light scattering and the
development of the electromagnetic codes required for signal inversion will be
subject of a collaboration with the IUSTI research team, through Fabrice
Onofri (Directeur de recherche CNRS).
We are seeking for highly motivated candidates wishing to develop a scientific
career on an exploratory and interdisciplinary front-line project. Applicants
presenting an educational profile with a strong base in physics/chemistry and
previous laboratory experience (ideally in relation to chemistry, optics
and/or microfluidics) are particularly encouraged to submit a candidature.
Upon completion of this thesis, the PhD student will acquire a broad spectrum
of skills at the boundary of several disciplines (electromagnetism,
microfluidics, solid-state physics), within leading edge laboratories holding
both, required facilities and a long track record expertise. The developed
tools should permit access to fundamental parameters of dissolution and
precipitation processes: granulometric distribution evolution, nucleation and
dissolution kinetics, morphological transitions, etc.

Ph.D. Positions: 21009 Towards a just energy transition: incorporating energy
poverty criteria into energy planning models |
Sustainable Development Goal number 7 promoted by the United Nations poses the
challenge of ensuring access to affordable, secure and sustainable energy for
all by 2030.
Getting there is no easy task. There are many dimensions and many different
realities involved that generate uncertainty. Designing a roadmap in that
direction is the endeavor of many governments and international agencies.
From the IIT we are collaborating very actively in this, mainly in two of the
aspects sought, i.e. that the system is safe and that it is sustainable. But
we are not forgetting the aspect of affordability for all. The work of the
universal energy access team and the Chair in Energy and Poverty are proof of
this.
The present proposal is part of the work of the latter. We are looking for a
candidate to develop a doctoral thesis that will contribute to the
incorporation of energy poverty criteria in long-term energy planning models
(MARKAL/TIMES, PRIMES, etc.). These models, which are widely used by the
agencies in charge of designing the aforementioned transition, are an
indispensable tool for the success of this process. The objective of the
thesis is therefore to identify and implement improvements in these models for
the consideration of vulnerability in the residential sector.
We offer:
Full-time annual contract for the completion of the PhD and its corresponding
training activities. The selected person will be hired every year for a
maximum period of 3 years. The gross salary for the first year is 24.410,00 €
for the year 2021. In addition, the IIT covers 90% of the fees for the
training activities and will have access to all the services offered by the
University (Sports, Cultural Activities, Library, etc.).
Requirements:
The candidate must have a master's degree in engineering, physics, mathematics
or economics, with knowledge of programming and statistics being particularly
relevant. Knowledge of the energy sector, as well as programming with GAMS,
Matlab, R, Visual Basic and/or Phyton will be an asset. Writing and speaking
fluency in Spanish and English are also required, as well as a good academic
record and ability to work in a team. Experience and motivation at a
professional and personal level to get involved in the fight against poverty
or other social problems will be an asset as well.
Documents:
Curriculum vitae, academic record, cover letter and two letters of
recommendation. |

PhD position Finding Suitable Grounds: Neolithic use of alluvial surfaces in
the Dutch delta (1.0 FTE) |
The Department of Physical Geography at Utrecht University (UU) invites
applications for a 4-year PhD project on the interface of Neolithic
archaeology and buried alluvial landscapes in the Netherlands from the period
6000–4000 BCE. Can earth scientific and geoarchaeological methods demonstrate
early agricultural land use (forest clearing, primitive tillage) on former
levee surfaces by studying sediments and paleosols around ‘Swifterbant’
cultural sites?
The position is one of two in the research project “Finding Suitable Grounds”,
ran at University of Groningen (RUG) and Utrecht University, with further
consortium partners, and funded by NWO (Netherlands science funding agency).
The project brings together experts in palaeogeography, geoarchaeology,
archaeobotany and Quaternary geology to study the introduction of crop
cultivation in the low-lying areas of the Netherlands. Special focus is on
buried and submerged levees of rivers and creeks of the Rhine delta and the
central Netherlands lagoon, that are geologically mapped in fair detail and on
which an increasing number of Neolithic sites has been discovered in the last
years. The archaeological topics are the timing, geography and cultural
process of Neolithisation (the transition to agriculture from hunter-gathering
subsistence).
The selected candidate will investigate landscape suitability for Neolithic
clearance and tillage, making use of rich established geological, chronometric
and archaeological databases documenting the palaeogeography of and human
presence in the Rhine Delta and the Swifterbant/IJsselmeer central lagoon
fringe. Focus will be on mapping palaeolandscape zones and characterizing
their contemporary suitability for crop cultivation using earth-scientific

Associate Professor in Embedded Systems |
_Presentation of the IMT Atlantique_ :
IMT Atlantique, internationally recognized for the quality of its research, is
a leading technological university under the aegis of the Ministry of Industry
and Digital Technology, ranked in the 3 main international rankings (THE,
SHANGAI, QS)
Situated on 3 campuses, Brest, Nantes and Rennes, IMT Atlantique aims to
combine digital technology and energy to transform society and industry
through training, research and innovation. It aims to be the leading French
higher education and research institution in this field on an international
scale. With 290 permanent faculty members, 1000 publications and 18 M€ of
contracts, it supervises 2300 Master and PhD students each year and its
training courses are based on cutting-edge research carried out within 6 joint
research units (GEPEA, IRISA, LATIM, LABSTICC, LS2N and SUBATECH) with the
major French research organizations (CNRS, Inserm, INRIA).
_Presentation of the scientific field:_
The MEE ([Mathematical and Electrical Engineering](https://www.imt-
atlantique.fr/en/about/departments/mathematical-electrical-engineering))
department of IMT Atlantique is recruiting within its 2AI (Algorithm-
Architecture Interaction) team an Associate Professor in embedded system
design. The 2AI team designs original architectures for the integration of
specific algorithms in information processing and contributes to the
definition and implementation of these algorithms. Its primary application
domains are those of digital communications and artificial intelligence. The
team's approach is based on the combination of skills in algorithms,
architectures and embedded systems.
The 2AI team aims to develop its activities in the field of sustainable
embedded systems design. These systems are at the core of the digital
revolution. They constitute an increasingly diverse, innovative and
challenging field for applications ranging from mobile terminals to medical
devices, including game consoles, automotive, robotics, aeronautics and
aerospace. New applications are emerging continuously, with diverse and varied
needs in terms of computing power, reliability, security and energy
efficiency. The number of these systems and the volume of data to be processed
are huge and growing, as shown by the proliferation of connected devices,
which should exceed 50 billions by 2030[1].
In order for these systems to continue to provide sustainable benefits to our
society, it becomes essential to integrate the environmental challenges into
their design, development and usage. Addressing these challenges is one of the
main strategic orientations of IMT Atlantique. In order to limit the carbon
footprint related to the ongoing digital transition (manufacturing of new
circuits, energy consumption, recycling), several approaches are envisaged and
interest the MEE department. A co-design approach of algorithms and hardware
architectures will allow original optimizations and novel mapping of the
required resources with respect to the target performances. Dynamic and
intelligent adaptation of the system, through flexible and reconfigurable
architecture models, constitutes another way of making it energy-aware and
capable of adapting to its environment and to changes in applications, thus
extending the life cycle of hardware systems. New computing paradigms that
break with conventional models, such as in-memory computing, introduce another
innovative dimension that complements these approaches by taking advantage of
emerging integration technologies to achieve significant gains in energy
efficiency and flexibility.
In this context, the MEE department is looking for a candidate with the
expertise to contribute to the design of embedded systems, with the ambition
to propose innovative, energy efficient and sustainable solutions. The design
techniques and technologies mentioned above are at the core of the proposed
position. The privileged application domains concern those of connected
devices, but stay open to other application domains of embedded systems which
have or could generate synergies with the research themes of the other members
of 2AI, MEE and IMT Atlantique.
With its top 10 ranking among the institutions in the field of engineering in
France, IMT Atlantique educates engineers and scientists at the highest level.
Regarding teaching activities, the candidate will be able to take part in the
engineering education and in particular in the common core courses. As the
field of embedded systems meets a strong and growing industrial need, the
candidate is expected to invest in teaching related to this field. The
candidate is expected also to develop the teaching of sustainable design
approaches and tools for embedded systems, within the different programs of
IMT Atlantique, in collaboration with the academic team. This teaching can be
carried out within disciplinary or transversal activities, such as projects,
either existing or to be newly established. He/she will take part in the
various training activities in companies (academic tutoring of internships,
evaluation). A strong involvement is expected concerning the implementation of
innovative teaching methods, with particular attention given to the evolution
of the educational programs.

Physics-based and data-enriched modelling and analysis of wind turbine
gearboxes |
The objective of this PhD trajectory is to develop, validate and exploit
advanced numerical tools for the analysis of wind turbine gearboxes that are
tailored towards the needs and requirements of Industry 4.0 and beyond.
Applications of these numerical tools in the new industrial paradigm include
virtual prototyping of novel gearbox and drivetrain concepts, virtual sensing
of difficult to measure gearbox characteristics, parameter estimation of
difficult to model/measure parameters, and parameter sensitivity analysis in
view of robust gearbox design and testing. Depending on the application, the
accuracy and/or computational efficiency of these tools needs to be higher
than what is currently available in the state-of-the-art. As a PhD researcher,
you will use novel insights in the fields of physics-based modelling (Finite
Element Modelling, Flexible Multibody Dynamics, Computational Contact
Mechanics, Multi-physical Simulation, …), data-based and/or data-enriched
modelling, as well as model reduction (size and/or complexity reduction), to
develop and validate accurate and efficient gearbox analysis tools, starting
from a library of computational tools available at the hosting research group.
Throughout the entire PhD trajectory, a close link with industry will be
maintained in order to validate and exploit the newly developed tools and
applications in an industrial context. |

and technology demonstrations involving, for example, small satellites and
planetary landers. The Institute is a centre of excellence for systems
engineering with capabilities in system design, system integration and systems
testing, for which it plays a coordination and integration role.
The Department of Avionics Systems develops solutions for on-board data
handling, electrical power supply, and communications for application in space
systems. Therefor our products have to conform to high standards w.r.t
reliably.
Depending on the respective space mission the department is also responsible
for the conception and design of the respective subsystems of the spacecraft,
as well as for the functional verification at system level. This broad view
across domains and departments allows for an in-depth view into the
development of a complete space mission across all project phases as well as
into the detailed technology development, which is a unique feature of working
in the Department of Avionics Systems.
In the frame of researching avionics systems we study new concepts and develop
these for application in space missions, which constitutes to promote and
foster the excellence of DLR in that domain. The activities carried out by the
department range from developing electronics hardware in different domains,
developing Intellectual Property (IP) Cores at register-transfer level, and
programming of application software, as well as the verification and
validation tasks connected with these activities

57745: Physicist, Astronomer, Astrophysicist or similar (f/m/x) -
Investigating the interaction between life and the atmosphere on the early
Earth and on Earth-like planets |
**Area of research:**
Scientific / postdoctoral posts
**Job description:**
This position is concerned with basic scientific research investigating the
interaction between life and the atmosphere on the early Earth and on Earth-
like planets. During the evolution of the Earth, cycles linking the geophysics
of the planetary interior and surface with the atmosphere likely played an
important role. This study involves the implementation of these processes as
well as the analysis of exoplanet scenarios with the Coupled Atmosphere
Biogeochemistry (CAB) model and validation of model results via the use of an
M-dwarf star lamp at DLR laboratories.
The department "Extrasolar Planets and Atmospheres" (EPA) at the Institute of
Planetary Research of DLR deals with the detection of extrasolar planets as
well as the numerical modeling of habitability and atmospheric biosignatures
on terrestrial planets. On the subject of planetary structure and interior, it
works closely with the "Planetary Physics" department. EPA is a leading
participant in the European satellite missions for the search and
characterization of extrasolar planets (CHEOPS, PLATO) as well as in ground-
based instruments/telescopes.
Modelers in the PF-EPA group are developing a radiative-convective climate
model with coupled photochemistry to study the atmospheric temperature
structure and chemical composition of rocky exoplanets and gas-rich sub-
Neptunes. In particular, the work focuses on modeling small exoplanets in the
habitable zone around cooler central stars. Such stars are particularly common
in the solar neighborhood and are favorable targets for exoplanet observations
with missions such as CHEOPS and PLATO.
Your tasks:
* implementation of carbon (C)-nitrogen (N)-sulfur (S) biogeochemistry cycles in the coupled Atmosphere Biogeochemistry (CAB) model available at EPA
* validation of the implementation with laboratory data
* analysis of exoplanet scenarios with the model, use of the M-dwarf star lamp at the DLR laboratory

Postdoctoral Research Position (1fte, 2 years) on Formal Models of Group
Deliberation |
**The ENCODE project: Explicating Norms for Collective Deliberation (NWO VIDI
project)**
Deliberation is often seen as an antidote to the current crisis of democracy.
People should not just vote or aggregate their opinions: they should talk,
exchange arguments and preferences, and thus achieve consensus or at least
mutual understanding through dialogue. But what norms should group
deliberation satisfy, for it to count as democratic? What exactly can we
expect from collective deliberation?
The ENCODE project seeks to answer these questions in exact terms. In
particular, we want to study existing formal models of deliberation and
develop new ones, in order to get a better understanding of the complex
interactions that take place when people exchange their arguments and revise
their position. The emphasis will be on philosophical logic, but we will also
consider agent-based models of deliberation and decision-theoretic accounts.
This project is funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) and run by Dr.
Frederik Van de Putte within the Erasmus Institute for Philosophy and
Economics (EIPE), Erasmus School of Philosophy (ESPhil).
**The Postdoctoral researcher**
The postdoc’s primary responsibility will be to conduct research and publish
in peer reviewed journals and books. The researcher should also contribute to
the ENCODE Project in other ways, such as by giving scholarly presentations
and co-organizing reading groups and workshops. Furthermore, they will become
part of a large and diverse community of researchers, and are expected to
contribute to the Erasmus School of Philosophy’s (ESPhil) educational
programme. |

PhD Position: Open Data Usability |
This fully funded PhD position is part of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska
Curie ITN project entitled "ODECO: Towards a Sustainable Open Data ECOsystem"
(see [www.odeco-research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu)). ODECO is a four-
year project involving 15 PhD projects covering each a specific part of the
open data ecosystem. The central aim of the ODECO consortium network is to
train the next generation of creative and innovative early stage open data
researchers, to unlock their creative and innovative potential to address
current and future challenges in the creation of user driven, circular and
inclusive open data ecosystems.
Current developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly
fragmented. Open data ecosystems are often developed in different domains in
isolation of each other and with little involvement of potential users,
resulting in approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for
users. This reduces innovation and the ability to create new valued added
goods and services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users
acting as a barrier to data sharing. Efforts are also uncoordinated in open
data training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are scant.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills and research experience.
The offered PhD position is to explore the influence of resources provided by
Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) on the usability of Open Government Data.
Considerable research on open government data has been conducted in the past
decade. At first, much of this research focused on the provision of open
government data, while this slowly started shifting towards data usability in
the past few years. For example, recent research examines how citizens can
become more engaged with their government when they use open government data.
However, not much is known about the influence of resources offered by NGOs on
the usability of open government data. For example, some NGOs combine, enrich
and visualise open government data. By doing so, NGOs function as an
intermediary or infomediary, making government data more useful and
understandable for citizens. However, NGOs' role as an intermediary between
governments as data providers and citizens as data users has not yet been
investigated in-depth, while this type of research may lead to valuable
insights for open data policy makers on how to improve open government data
usability.
During the PhD, the candidate will conduct this research and prepare
scientific articles presenting the research at conferences and in journals. To
enable the candidate to do this successfully, the TU Delft offers personal and
professional training courses in the form of a graduate school, in which the
candidate will participate (the fee is paid by the project and there are no
additional costs for this). Furthermore, in addition to her/his scientific
supervisors, the applicant will receive an independent senior researcher as
mentor, to aid her/his personal career development.
As a Marie Curie ITN researcher, you will have the opportunity to conduct
practical internships at world leading universities and case studies at
excellent NGOs (for example, Open Knowledge Belgium and the Open State
Foundation) through the EU ITN network. |

Science](https://www.scilifelab.se/data-driven/) (DDLS)is a 12-year initiative
funded with a total of 3,1 billion SEK from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg
Foundation. The purpose of the program is to recruit and train the next-
generation of data-driven life scientists and to create globally leading
computational and data science capabilities in life science in Sweden.
The program will recruit 39 eminent junior group leaders as DDLS Fellows,
launch over 210 postdoctoral positions and establish a research school for 260
PhDs, within both academia and industry. The program is coordinated by
SciLifeLab, a nationwide research infrastructure and a hub for cross-
disciplinary life sciences. The Fellows will be recruited to the 11
participating host universities/organizations, enabling them to link up with
strong local research environments as well as with the national DDLS program.
The DDLS program promotes collaborative interdisciplinary work and engagement
with industry, healthcare and other national and international partners, such
as [WASP](https://wasp-sweden.org), with the aim of bridging the life science
and data science communities.
The DDLS program will focus on four strategic areas of data-driven research:
cell and molecular biology, evolution and biodiversity, precision medicine and
diagnostics, epidemiology and infection biology. The Program is now looking
for the first 20 junior group leaders to join us as DDLS Fellows.
Each Associate Senior Lecturer (DDLS Fellow) will receive a recruitment
package of 17 million SEK, which is meant to cover 5 years of his/her own

3 engineers on "Therapy for neuromuscular diseases" |
Job offers: engineers
The Bomont laboratory, and the partner Puccio are seeking highly motivated
candidates in the development of therapy for neuromuscular diseases.
Science. Bomont laboratory has a long-lasting expertise in the fatal
neuromuscular disease called Giant Axonal Neuropathy (GAN)1. The team
identified the defective gene2, which encodes for the Gigaxonin-E3 ligase and
modelized the disease in mouse and zebrafish, to unravel pivotal roles of
Gigaxonin in cytoskeleton architecture3, autophagy maturation4 and motoneuron
specification5. With robust animal models in hands, and the identification of
therapeutic candidates, the team aims to conduct a dual preclinical study for
GAN: using pharmacological and gene therapy approaches. This translational
project will benefit from the expertise of the Puccio team, which succeeded in
developing gene therapy programs for Friedreich Ataxia6-8.

2 Postdoc & 1 technician/engineer positions: "Neurofilaments in health and
neurodegenerative diseases" |
Job offers: postdoctoral scientists & technician/engineer
We are seeking highly motivated candidates for neuronal cytoskeleton, to work
on a project aiming at fueling innovation in fundamental neurobiology and
therapeutic development.
Science. Major cytoskeletal component of neurons, Neurofilaments (NFs) provide
the structural scaffold of axons and exhibit a rich functional diversity
throughout the nervous system (Bomont, Curr Opin Cell Biol 2021
[https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ceb.2020.10.011](https://doi-
org.proxy.insermbiblio.inist.fr/10.1016/j.ceb.2020.10.011%22%20%5Ct%20%22_blank%22%20%5Co%20%22Persistent%20link%20using%20digital%20object%20identifier)).
Important for physiology, NF genes are mutated in several peripheral
neuropathies, producing mutant-NF aggregation that is shared by most
neurodegenerative diseases in human. With such fundamental and clinical
significance, our project aims at decoding the roles of NFs in vivo in a
physiological environment, using the zebrafish model. This project has the
ambition to decipher the regulation and functions of NFs, and to develop new
therapeutic avenues for neurodegenerative diseases. |

Data analysis and visualisation design for emerging infectious diseases |
In a first part of the project, useful software applications that complement
Bayesian phylogenetic and phylodynamic inference will need to be designed and
implemented. In order to translate the phylodynamic output of our proposed
models into tangible responses, the goal will be to develop a user-friendly,
feature-rich, interactive and flexible web-based visualization platform that
can easily be applied to different pathogens and enables sharing these
visualisations as frictionlessly as possible. The web technology platforms to
be used are not carved in stone and can be chosen provided they scale well
with increasing amounts of data. Our research group has previous experience in
this area, in the development of the SPREAD software package
() and its successor that makes
use of Data-Driven Documents: SpreaD3
(). Knowledge of recent web
technologies (see the profile description) is hence considered a strong plus.
The second part of the project will involve becoming familiar with Bayesian
phylogeographic reconstructions on various pathogens, but with an initial
focus on rabies virus. While a previously hired PhD student will focus on
developing novel models for phylogeographic inference, applying these models
and comparing their inference results to one another constitutes an important
responsibility within the current job description. A collection of useful data
sets from different geographic regions will have to be established, and this
for different pathogens, and will need to be carefully analysed alongside
available metadata and current hypotheses on viral spread within the field of
research. However, these types of analyses constitute only a starting point,
and we certainly welcome novel ideas for analyses, model and/or application
developments or interesting pathogens to study. |

Doctoral Research Fellowship in environmental humanities (ref 207889) |
The fellowship is part of the research project [Transcendence and
Sustainability: Asian Visions with Global
Promise](https://www.hf.uio.no/ikos/english/research/projects/transcendence-
sustainability/). The project currently engages 13 junior and senior scholars
based in Norway, China and India, and is financed by the Research Council from
2021-2027. Transsustain explores spiritually and religiously inspired
environmental movements in Asia. It is largely based on fieldwork studies of
selected cases that may exemplify how religious and spiritual practices and
beliefs are put in motion to mobilize people’s active involvement in
addressing and solving problems of environmental degradation or climate
change.
The new doctoral research fellow will carry out an individual sub-project as
part of the larger Transsustain team in the context of Vietnam. Vietnam is of
particular interest to Transsustain because it has a political system that is
comparable to China’s but has kept a much more open attitude towards religious
practices. It is heavily influenced by climate change and has seen a surge of
environmental activities among various religious groups, connected to temples,
indigenous peoples, etc. The doctoral candidate should formulate and implement
an individual project based on fieldwork in one or several sites in Vietnam,
focusing on one or several spiritually inspired environmental movements. The
candidate will join the Transsustain team and engage in general theoretical
and methodological discussions, share findings and experiences from fieldwork,
engage in joint publications in the team, etc. Other members of Transsustain
are doing anthropological fieldwork in China, Taiwan and India and the
candidate must therefore rely entirely on his/her own connections in Vietnam
to ensure that fieldwork is possible.

PhD Candidate |
The group for structural dynamics in the Weizmann institute of science is
looking for a physics PhD candidate to work on the interface between theory
and experiment in the study of anharmonic materials.
Approximating the interactions between atoms inside a crystal to be strictly
Hooke-like, its lattice dynamics can be mapped into normal modes, also known
as phonons. While this theory affords invaluable concepts with which to
comprehend the chaotic motion of trillions of atoms, it fails to account for
many observed material properties, most notably their temperature dependence.
Our group studies the plethora of non-linear structural dynamics phenomena
that arise in finite temperatures. We use a home-built Raman spectroscopy
system as our main probe, and combine computational and analytical methods to
tackle fundamental questions in solid-state physics regarding the atomic and
electronic motion inside a crystal.
We are looking for a student to help bridge the gap between experiment and
theory, applying the tools of group theory, many-body physics and scattering
theory to interpret a wide range of empirical results, and take a leading role
our pursuit towards a comprehensive modern understanding of anharmonicity in
functional materials. |

R&D field. **The aims of these projects are to evaluate and prototype the next
generation of unobtrusive and multifunctional technologies intended for use in
the treatment of chronic wounds including pressure, venous leg and diabetic
ulcers.** The flexible and wearable systems should merge standard dressing
materials with components such as miniature actuators for control of pressure
levels, sensors suitable for real-time feedback of dressing status,
transmission protocols for wirelessly communicating that information to
clinical personnel; and microcontrollers for system programming and control.
The planned activity is tightly focussed on rapid prototyping activities; in
this regard the candidate will work closely with our commercial partners to
develop demonstrator devices that are closely aligned to clinically-informed
targets and specifications.
**Key Responsibilities**
The candidate will work in a team environment to:
* Review the state-of-the-art in ‘smart dressing’ technology on an ongoing basis;
* Identify and source sensors, actuators, electronics, power and communications subsystems suitable for integration within the proposed system;
* Construct demonstrator devices incorporating suitable components with flexible substrates in an ultra-thin form factor;
* Perform preliminary characterisation of these devices in a laboratory setting;
* Liaise with our project partners to prepare prototypes for evaluation;
* Continuously seek to add improvements and/or advancements to the system;
* Report results to team leaders, partners, and funding agencies;
* Participate in conferences, workshops and outreach events;
* Comply with all relevant regulatory legislation, ethical considerations and safety regulations.
**Skills and Experience**
This is an exciting project in a fast-moving, industrially relevant area.
Reporting to the team leader of the research activity, the candidate will take
a hands-on role, and will be responsible for the day-to-day execution of the
technical research tasks outlined above. Scientific dissemination (preparation
of regular internal reports, journal and conference publications, and
industrial liaison) is an essential part of the position. Some international
travel may also be required.
It is critical that the candidate has an ability to work in a team
environment, as he/she will liaise closely with other team members engaged in
developing complementary aspects of the platform. In addition, close
cooperation with our industrial and clinical partners is required, who will
provide support, supervision and direction throughout the research activity.
The successful candidate should be highly motivated with excellent
organizational and communications skills, demonstrate an understanding of the
research environment, the ability to communicate his/her research and the
potential to manage a research project.
In return, the position provides the opportunity to develop innovative
solutions for medical technology challenges, as well as to gain valuable
experience in design, fabrication and testing of next-generation devices and
systems. The successful candidate will experience the excitement of working
with high-profile industry on emerging technologies in a world-class research
environment, and will have the opportunity to build the career profile
associated with presentation at international conferences, workshops and
industry meetings, and publication of the research in high impact journals.
**Essential Criteria**

Postdoctoral fellow in ERC-project on International Refugee Law (ref 207948) |
BEYOND reconsiders the impact of international refugee law by developing a
global and empirically driven theoretical framework for understanding the
behavior and position of states that have chosen not to sign the 1951 Refugee
Convention. While most states of the world are parties to this Convention,
important refugee-hosting states remain non-signatories. These states are
generally seen as ‘exceptions’ to international refugee law, and it is the aim
of BEYOND to shed crucial, empirically grounded light on, and to question,
this prevailing assumption. The project is concerned with the following main
questions: 1. What is the influence of the Refugee Convention in non-signatory
states?; 2. How do these non-signatory states engage with and help create the
international refugee law regime, i.e. the instruments and institutions of
refugee protection with the Refugee Convention and the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) as cornerstones?
BEYOND takes both a broader perspective that historically and politically
seeks to situate these non-signatory states within the international refugee
law regime, and a more focused perspective that grounds refugee protection in
lived experiences and local initiatives. The project has strong empirical
components and focuses on four case study countries: Lebanon, Turkey,
Bangladesh and Pakistan. The candidate will play a lead role in the in-depth
study of Turkey, and will undertake both desk-based and field-based research,
in particular legal doctrinal research, empirical legal research (qualitative)
in Turkey and at UN institutions in Geneva, and archival research (as
appropriate).

Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Space Systems |
Future space systems will heavily reply on distributed small satellites. These
satellites each have limited capability, but when they fly together the system
performance can be enhanced and, in some cases, unprecedented functionalities
can be realised. Typical applications of these systems include, for example,
formation flying for multi-angle earth observation and interferometry,
astronomical observation with long baseline, in-orbit manufacturing, assembly
& servicing, and so on. These applications stress the interdisciplinary
potential and, in particular, the scientific challenges with regard to
distributed space systems and miniaturisation, induced by the complex in-orbit
operations of the distributed small satellites.
The Section of Space Systems Engineering (SSE) is dedicated to the broad range
of end-to-end spacecraft engineering, with focuses on distributed space
systems and miniaturisation. Innovative space technology is developed and used
for rapid in-orbit demonstrations based upon the development of highly
miniaturised satellites. SSE is also in close cooperation with other research
groups of the TU Delft Space Institute, universities worldwide, research
institutes, and the space industry. To further strengthen our existing
research and educational activities in distributed space systems and
miniaturisation, we are looking for an ambitious talent at the tenure-track
assistant professor level. The interested research areas can be broad to
maintain our multidisciplinary competence and, meanwhile, the successful
candidate is expected to build a research portfolio to complement our existing
strengths. We especially welcome applicants who have experience of working in
space industries, or who are from non-conventional space fields, for example
computer sciences, where technologies can benefit distributed space systems
and miniaturisation |

PhD fellowship in RASOPTA at the Fish Pathology and Parasitology Research
Team, Veterinary Medical Research Institute (formerly: Institute for
Veterinary Medical Research) (ÁTKI), Eötvös Loránd Research Network (ELKH) |
A 3-year PhD fellowship is available at the Fish Pathology and Parasitology
Research Team, Veterinary Medical Research Institute (formerly: Institute for
Veterinary Medical Research (ÁTKI), Budapest, Hungary with an expected start
January 1st 2022\.
The fellowship is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No
956481.
About RASOPTA (Safeguarding future production of fish in aquaculture systems
with water recirculation)
The RASOPTA consortium consists of enthusiastic academic researchers and
innovative non-academic partners, which together will train a new generation
of scientists with expertise in sustainable and healthy fish production with a
minimal water consumption. Production of fish in recirculated aquaculture
systems (RAS) requires experiences from several scientific disciplines, but
there is need to bridge existing knowledge gaps between these disciplines to
ensure a high water quality, healthy and non-stressed fish, and a supreme
consumer quality of the fish. Therefore, in the RASOPTA project state-of-the-
art training in important disciplines within RAS technology will be provided
by 10 universities and research institutes and 8 non-academic partners in 8
countries. Primary goals of the training are to improve microbial processes to
maintain a high water quality, to identify flavour compounds that may affect
consumer preference for fish from RAS, and to ensure an optimum health and
welfare of the fish. The research also aims at developing a DNA-based chip for
early warning of quality and health of the fish. To reach the
interdisciplinary goals in RASOPTA, the consortium will train 12 Early Stage
Researchers (ESRs) in disciplines ranging from chemistry, microbiology and
molecular biology, to physiology and pathology of fish.
About your project (ESR 11)
Together with 4 other Early Stage Researchers (to be recruited respectively by
University Autonóma de Barcelona (UAB - ESR8), Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat
Erlagen-Nurnberg (FAU - ESR 9), University of Copenhagen (DVAS-UCPH - ESR 10)
and Technical University of Denmark (DTU - ESR 12) you will contribute to the
implementation of Fish Health and Welfare Work package 3.
‐ The ESR 11 enrolled at ÁTKI will survey the presence and diversity of
different external pathogenic and commensal parasites (gill and skin) by
morphometric methods using LM (light microscopy), SEM microscopy (scanning
electron microscopy) and molecular methods. In addition ESR 11 will
investigate the potential fish health implications of the infections in
freshwater RAS.
‐ The ESR 11 will identify emerging parasites and characterize their virulence
and life cycle under different environmental conditions. She/he will define
optimal management procedures for reduction of the impact of parasitism in
RAS.
* The ESR 11 will be involved in the design and conduct of experiments aimed at controlling parasitic infections in fish in RAS by using environmentally friendly methods (mechanical, electric, ultrasonic, thermic, biological water treatment, tank design).
-The ESR 11 will contribute to the identifying specific target sequences of pathogenic gill parasites to be used for the design of a DNA-based chip as an early health monitoring and warning tool in RAS.
The candidate will be enrolled at the Hungarian University of Agriculture and
Life Sciences (HUALS)- which is the PhD awarding entity- (Doctoral School of
Animal Science , Gödöllő, Hungary

### Reference Number 5294
Earth’s history has been punctuated by episodes of enhanced and reduced
tectonic activity. In particular, it is still not clear when and why
subduction became the dominant mode of cooling of the Earth’s mantle. We are
interested in studying the long-term couplings between Earth’s deep dynamics,
including convection of its mantle, subduction of oceanic plates and upwelling
of mantle plumes with the Earth’s surface erosion. In particular the
lubrication of subduction zones by sediments throughout Earth’s 4.5 billion
years history may have played a role in dictating the mode of mantle flow and
how, in turn, this may relate to variations in Earth’s climate and its control
on erosion efficiency, especially through glacial periods (see
[www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1258-4)](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1258-4\)).
The purpose of the ERC-funded MEET (Monitoring Earth Evolution Through Time)
international project is to untangle these questions concerning Earth’s
dynamic evolution using unique observational evidence from melt inclusions in
olivine and zircon crystals and coupled mantle/surface/atmosphere numerical
models (). The
geochemical/petrological part of the MEET project is hosted by University of
Grenoble, France, leaded by Alex Sobolev and by University of Madison, USA,
leaded by John Valley. The modeling part of the MEET project is hosted by GFZ
and is leaded by Stephan Sobolev from the Geodynamic Modeling Section. The
post-doctoral researcher will become a member of the international MEET
project team. The post-doctoral researcher's major role in the project will be
to develop a large-scale surface process model to be coupled to deformation
caused by flow in the underlying mantle and to study how different modes of
mantle flow may influence the routing of sediment at the Earth’s surface under
different climate settings representative of the Earth’s deep past.
The post-doctoral position will be hosted at the GFZ in Potsdam in the Earth
Surface Process Modelling (ESPM) group of Jean Braun, where numerical models
are developed and used to investigate a wide range of physical, chemical and
biological processes and interactions occurring at the Earth’s surface that
are driven by tectonic processes and modulated by climate
(). The ESPM section hosts approximately 20
researchers (PhD students, Post-docs and senior scientists) from diverse
backgrounds and with varied research interests. The postdoc is also expected
to closely collaborate with members the Stephan Sobolev’s MEET group at the
Geodynamic Modeling Section at the GFZ and Georg Feulner’s ESMO group at the
PIK (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research).

PhD System-theoretic Agents for End-to-End Learning for Energy System |
TU Delft is a top tier university and is exceedingly active in the field of
Artificial intelligence and the TU Delft's campus has strong expertise in
energy systems. Energy systems are the backbone of our modern society, but are
becoming increasingly complex and challenging to operate as renewable energy,
heating and transport sectors are integrated into the system. It’s crucially
important that energy systems are sustainable, reliable and effective, now and
in the future. The DAI Energy Lab investigates how the new area of data-driven
and scientific computing can contribute to managing energy systems.
We combine ground-breaking machine learning with the reliable theory of the
physical energy system. The area of data-driven scientific computing promises
to combine statistics, time-frequency analysis, low-dimensional model
reductions, and other techniques to extract information from data. With
machine learning, we make such information useful for the management of
complex energy systems. For example, it is possible to use neural networks to
model differential equations that describe dynamics, and for predicting
extreme, rare events. The DAI Energy Lab investigates data-driven scientific
modelling for their applicability in monitoring the 'health' of energy system
components, and for the early detection of threats. We are currently a team of
four PhD researchers and 2 co-directors Dr. Jochen Cremer and Dr. Peyman
Mohajerin Esfahani. You will extend the team and integrate your own ambitious
research program within our research vision. We distinguish between IN-AI and
WITH-AI research. IN-AI projects focus on fundamental methods from data-driven
scientific computing for energy system applications. WITH-AI projects focus on
assembling such methods to build full workflows for the application to energy
system problems.
This WITH-AI PhD project focuses on system-theoretic agents for end-to-end
learning for energy systems. Along with your colleagues, you will work on
real-time control for power systems by investigating end-to-end and AI-based
controllers, both for centralised and decentralized control agents. Your task
is to develop machine learning methods that can encode implicitly knowledge
from the physical system within novel training workflows as "physics-layer",
and regularise those model with those knowledge. You will use techniques from
differentiable programming together to develop new neural network
architectures suitable for power system applications, and combine them with
mathematical optimization and reinforcement learning. You will develop those
methods in close collaboration with researchers who are experts in control
systems for power systems, and experts in machine learning.
The research in the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy is inspired by
the technical, scientific and societal challenges originating from the
transition towards a more sustainable society and focuses on three areas:
* DC Systems, Energy Conversion and Storage (DCE&S)
* Photovoltaic Materials and Devices (PVMD)
* Intelligent Electrical Power Grids (IEPG)
The Electrical Sustainable Energy Department provides expertise in each of
these areas throughout the entire energy system chain. The department owns a
large ESP laboratory assembling High Voltage testing, DC Grids testing
environment and large RTDS that is actively used for real time simulation of
future electrical power systems, AC and DC protection and wide area monitoring
and protection.
The Intelligent Electrical Power Grid (IEPG) group, headed by Professor Peter
Palensky, works on the future of our power system. The goal is to generate,
transmit and use electrical energy in a highly reliable, efficient, stable,
clean, affordable, and safe way. IEPG integrates new power technologies and
smart controls, which interact with other systems and allow for more
distributed and variable generation. |

Postdoctoral Researcher in Theoretical Geochemistry (2.5 years) (1.0 FTE) |
The [Department of Earth Sciences](https://www.uu.nl/en/research/department-
of-earth-sciences/geochemistry) is now looking for a highly-motivated, high-
potential applicant to fill a postdoctoral (PD) position within the project
'CRYSTAL CLEAR: determining the impact of charge on crystal nucleation'.
All of the crystals that form in water on Earth are formed through reaction
between oppositely charged ions. In these crystals, the ions are present in an
ideal, charge-balanced ionic ratio. In contrast, the natural solutions in
which they form, contain widely diverging ionic ratios. When crystals nucleate
from natural solutions, they will be charged, and the charge has a massive
impact on the behaviour of small new crystals. However, most nucleation
experiments have been conducted in solutions with charge-balanced ionic ratios
and the current nucleation theory is based on water condensation.
In the CRYSTAL CLEAR project, which started in 2019, we aim to determine the
impact of ionic ratio on ionic mineral nucleation processes experimentally,
computationally and theoretically. The first results of our project show that
the current nucleation theory, which is capable of describing crystal
formation rates and mechanisms of neutral nuclei, fails in conditions where
nuclei are charged. Two experimental PhD candidates investigate the impact of
diverging ionic ratios on the nucleation of various minerals (barium sulfate,
calcium carbonate and iron (di)sulfide minerals). One postdoctoral Researcher
(PD) performs molecular dynamics simulations of the formation mechanism and
stability of the nuclei formed, and this advertisement is for the second PD in
this project.
The aim of the current PD project is to use the new experimental and
simulation results to develop a new nucleation theory that includes the impact
of charge on the behaviour of (pre) nucleation clusters during formation and
aggregation. This will be approached by unifying colloid theories that
successfully describe and predict nanoparticle behaviour in relation to
particle charge with nucleation theory, using new expressions obtained in
collaboration with the other CRYSTAL CLEAR team members and experts in the
field of charge stabilized colloid physics and chemistry and nucleation theory
development. |

Postdoc Position: Trustworthy Edge AI |
This Postdoc project is part of a major EU H2020 project on trustworthy AI.
The offered position is to explore trustworthy AI by designing mechanisms for
tuning AI systems to be robust in a decentralized environment and developing
an explanatory platform that accounts AI systems based on its quantified
quality.
Currently, AI schemes applied in security solutions focus mainly on accuracy
and performance (e.g., precision, recall, resource utilization) but lack
effective accountability from explainable and transparent perspectives.
Existing solutions mainly rely on empirical methods (i.e. on the observation
of responses to sampled test data) for evaluating system performance, with
limited underlying formal methods or guidelines to support the validity of the
system behaviours, especially in terms of legal and ethical obligations. Given
such challenge, you will investigate explainability features to quantify the
different properties of an AI system, such that it is possible to account its
overall execution pipeline. In the context of IoT edge and 5G security and
privacy domain, you will contribute to the development of a dedicated platform
and a set of metrics to evaluate if the explanations make sense to the end-
users or developers of the existing intelligent systems.
The hired Postdoc will conduct the work in the project consortium by
coordinating research activities and publishing scientific articles. |

Two PhD Candidates in Experimental Astroparticle Physics |
Within the context of the Pierre Auger Collaboration, the High Energy
Astroparticle Physics Department of the Institute for Mathematics,
Astrophysics and Particle Physics (IMAPP) (Faculty of Science, Radboud
University, Netherlands) is looking for two PhD candidates.
The Pierre Auger Observatory is the largest detector ever built to study
ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. Situated in Malargüe, Argentina, its 3000 km2
array of detectors is currently undergoing an upgrade, including the
deployment of additional particle detectors as well as antennas measuring the
radio-frequency emission from air showers. This will enhance the capabilities
of the observatory to determine the nature of the highest-energy particles
ever observed and potentially detect ultra-high-energy photons for the very
first time. Such discoveries could help solve the long-standing mystery of the
origin of the ultra-high-energy cosmic rays.
You will contribute by calibrating the newly installed Radio Detector and
investigating new triggers that use the sub-detectors added in the upgrade.
Other important aspects will be refining the event reconstruction for inclined
air showers using the Radio Detector and data analysis to search for ultra-
high-energy cosmic photons. The PhD candidates will be supported in these
tasks by the strong expertise in signal reconstruction and data analysis for
radio detectors in our group. You will also be required to do some teaching,
which will comprise 10% of your workload. |

PhD - XS-Meta ITN - ESR 5: Multiscale modelling of metamaterials |
**EC-MSCA-ITN** Project Acronym: XS-Meta
**EC-MSCA-ITN Project Title: Cross-scale concurrent material-structure design
using functionally-graded 3D-printed metamaterials.**
In the framework of this project, 14 early stage researchers (ESR) will be
recruited with the purpose of developing research leading to a doctoral
thesis. This advertisement refers to position _"ESR 5: Multiscale modelling of
metamaterials"_.
The duration of each contract will be of 36 months. Starting date is expected
between September 1st 2021 to March 1st 2022\. Exact dates will be agreed
between the selected candidates and the recruiting institution.
_General description of the Project_
XS-Meta is an Innovative European Training Network project with the main
objective of training a new generation of researchers in concurrent material-
structure design of high-technology structural systems, using functionally
graded 3D-printed metamaterials.
The scientific challenge in XS-Meta is to take advantage of the metal 3D
printing technology to perform a change of paradigm on how engineering
structural design is performed, integrating the design of the metamaterial
structure at the subscale with the engineering design of the component to
develop a new generation of high-performance components. XS-Meta addresses the
multiple scales of the problem, from microstructure of the material at the
grain level, to the continuum-based engineering design of industrial
components.
XS-Meta involves 11 partners from 7 different countries, including reference
research groups in 7 leading academic institutions, one public research
institute and 3 companies (see "Additional Information for details). XS-Meta
involves different fields, from machine learning to computational and
experimental materials science, manufacturing, applied mathematics,
computational mechanics, and software engineering.
**Details of the position: "ESR 5 Multiscale modelling of metamaterials"**
**Purpose and objectives** : (1) To develop an homogenisation RVE framework to
extract the homogenised metamaterial properties applied to different discrete
unit cell metamaterials; (2) To develop surrogate models equivalent to the RVE
behaviour; (3) To incorporate that framework in FEM software and analyse
different metamaterial families
**Expected Results** : Scale up the behaviour of a discrete MM into a
continuum material point. FEM subroutines including the homogenisation
framework in which for a given MM cell, the code will generate a surrogate
model from the equivalent continuum material point properties at the
macroscale.

W1 professorship (with tenure track to W3) in "Spatial Planning and Spatial
Research" |
Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is an internationally established university with
160 years of history that is rooted in the Bauhaus tradition. It combines
science, technology, art and design. This approach determines the self-image
of the faculties of Architecture and Urbanism, Civil Engineering, Art and
Design, and Media. In addition to their subject-specific functions, the
faculties are also committed to interdisciplinary collaboration and to the
interpenetration between art, science and practise.
The Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is
seeking to fill a
W1 professorship (with tenure track to W3) in »Spatial Planning and Spatial
Research«
starting October 1st, 2022.
The chair of »Spatial Planning and Spatial Research« significantly contributes
to research and teaching in planning and urban studies at Bauhaus-Universität
Weimar. Situated within planning studies, the professorship also engages with
social sciences and engineering discourses and explores innovative
perspectives on urgent societal challenges of spatial development (e.g.
securing the provision of public services, climate change, digitalization,
mobility). The chair develops its perspective on spatial development in the
context of current national and international discourses in research and
planning practice. In research, the professorship explores foundational as
well as application oriented aspects of spatial planning and development.
Building on and connecting to existing research fields in urban planning and
urban studies at the Faculty, it establishes a stand-alone research field.
Teaching is research-oriented and covers the fundamentals of planning and
spatial research, instruments of supra-local planning in Germany as well as
planning theory and history. The chair is furthermore actively involved in
shaping the programs in urban planning and urban studies as well as in
distinguishing the Institut für Europäische Urbanistik. We expect that the
chair's research integrates international perspectives and seeks to establish
international, especially European, networks.
We are looking for a candidate who represents the profile described above in
teaching and research and investigates spatial development at the interface of
planning, social science and engineering.
Requirements for the position are an outstanding doctoral degree focusing on
one of the aspects of spatial planning or research relevant to the respective
field, publication and lecture activities at the national and international
level. We expect the candidate to show experience in teaching at the
university as well as outstanding didactic and intercultural skills.
Furthermore, experience with third party funded research is desirable. Very
good English and German language skills are a requirement.
The job advertisement is aimed at junior academics; recruitment requirements
of the Thuringian Higher Education Act (§ 89 ThürHG) apply. The professorship
is initially limited to three years. This is expected to be extended by a
further three years, following a positive tenure evaluation. If a further
evaluation after six years is also positive, then the W1 professorship will be
converted into a W3 professorship without an additional job advertisement.
We are looking for an individual who pairs excellence in their discipline with
an openness to other subject areas, and who will play a part in further
developing and shaping the university with an awareness of art and science’s
responsibility to society. They are therefore expected to participate in
inter-faculty collaborations and interdisciplinary study courses.
Bauhaus-Universität Weimar pursues an equal-opportunity, family-friendly human
resources policy. The university’s strategic goals include increasing the
proportion of women in teaching and research. The university was awarded a
»TOTAL E-QUALITY« rating, and was given the title of »Gleichstellung:
Ausgezeichnet!« (»Gender Equality: Outstanding!«) under the Federal
Government-Länder Women Professors Programme. Bauhaus-Universität Weimar would
therefore like to expressly invite qualified female academics to submit
applications.
People with disabilities will receive preferential treatment if other
qualifications are the same.

This project aims to develop a novel method for the transformation of lignin
and chitosan into valuable metal-free nitrogen(N)- and/or
sulphur(S)-containing carbonaceous photocatalysts. New catalytic materials
possessing excellent sonophotocatalytic redox properties to assist continuous
flow photo-redox processes in obtaining high-value chemicals from bio-oil-
based molecules upgrading. The objective is to prepare metal-free carbon-based
photocatalytic materials through the physicochemical effects of low/high-
frequency sonication (e.g., effective mass transfer, microstreaming, cross-
linked radical polymerization, etc, effects often inaccessible through
conventional methods) as a promising pre-treatment step before ending the
synthesis of the materials under hydro(solvo)thermal conditions. It will be
carried out the study of the physicochemical properties of carbon-based
materials (before and after (sono)-(photo)-catalytic test reactions), and
testing them in the selective sonophotocatalytic oxidation and C-C sonophoto-
reductive coupling of bio-oil-inspired model compounds (in flow liquid-phase)
as a futuristic approach of bio-oil-based molecules valorization. Systematic
basic research of the effect of green and unconventional source of ultrasonic
energy on the pre-treatment of chitosan (precursor of C, N, O) and lignin
(precursor of C, S, O, aromaticity) and its effect on the final material
obtained after optimization of hydro(solvo)thermal conditions, will be carried
out. To get insight into the mechanism of ultrasound-assisted
hydro(solvo)thermal method, the whole spectrum of materials characterization
techniques and basic kinetic studies and photocatalysts’ stability/recycling
studies (using the appropriate flow (sono)-(photo)-reactors) will be carried
out. The use of ultrasound-based procedures offer a facile, versatile
synthetic tool for the preparation of nanophotocatalysts, often inaccessible
through conventional methods. |

POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN GLOBAL OCEAN MODELLING |
Organization: Sorbonne Université, France
Location : Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche (LOV), France
Research field : Global ocean modeling
Type of contract : 2-year postdoctoral position
Application deadline : 30/09/2021
Position start date : 01/01/2022
PRESENTATION
In the framework of the ANR research program EFFICACY (), we are offering a two-year
postdoctoral position for an experimented modeler. This project focuses on the
cyanobacterium _Synechococcus_ , the second most abundant member of the marine
phytoplankton community and one of the rare organisms that can be studied at
all scales of organization, from the genes to the global ocean. The EFFICACY
project aims at studying the fitness advantage conferred by the capacity that
a large proportion of the _Synechococcus_ population has to reversibly modify
its pigment content in response to changes in ambient light color from blue to
green, as compared to _Synechococcus_ cells that have a ‘fixed’ pigmentation
(Grébert et al. 2018).
Using data from several global expeditions and from two ongoing time series
(in the English Channel and in the Mediterranean Sea), and data from mono- and
co-cultures of the different _Synechococcus_ pigment types grown in various
light conditions, the postdoctoral fellow will use a numerical model to
simulate the global distribution of the different _Synechococcus_ pigment
types and their seasonal changes, and to predict the effect of global change
on the _Synechococcus_ population structure over the forthcoming decades. The
goal is to integrate this _Synechococcus_ multi-type component into the MIT’s
powerful global ocean Darwin model ()
that couples a radiative transfer component with a marine
biogeochemical–ecosystem component in a dynamic 3-D global physical framework
(Dutkiewicz et al. 2015; Dutkiewicz et al. 2019).
POSITION
The position will be shared between four laboratories: two belong to Sorbonne
Université (France), the Laboratory of Oceanography of Villefranche (LOV) and
the Biological Station of Roscoff (SBR), and the other two are the University
of Southampton and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The main
location of the postdoctoral fellow will be the LOV () but he/she will also travel to and actively exchange with the three
other partner labs. This position will start on January 1, 2022. This is a
two-year funding from the French research funding agency (ANR).
QUALIFICATIONS
\- PhD required, preferably in oceanography or related fields
\- Experience in developing and using numerical models
\- Good computational skills, and proficient in one of R, python, or matlab
(or similar)

The ambitious goal of [ONE](https://www.lri.fr/~mbl/ONE/index.html) is to
reinvent interactive systems based on a small number of unified principles. We
are looking for two research engineers to work on advanced design and
development based on prototypes developed in the project:
* The Textlets prototype, described in the recent [CHI2020 paper](https://www.lri.fr/~mbl/ONE/index.html#Textlets). Textlets reify the notion of text selection into first-class objects, reinventing text editing. The goal is to implement textlets in a web-based editor such as Overleaf so that it can be distributed widely and used for long-term field studies.
* The FileWeaver prototype, described in the recent [UIST 2020 paper](https://www.lri.fr/~mbl/ONE/index.html#FileWeaver). FileWeaver detects and automatically updated dependencies among files by managing and visualizing an interactive dependency graph and keeping track of successive versions of files. The goal is to turn the prototype into a robust system, port it from Linux to MacOS, and extend its features so it can be deployed in a field study.
* The WILDOS and Digiscape middleware used to develop application for our two wall-sized displays, [WILD](http://digiscope.fr/en/platforms/wild) and [WILDER](http://digiscope.fr/en/platforms/wilder). In conjunction with [Webstrates](https://webstrates.net/), developed with our colleagues from Aarhus University, WILDOS and Digiscape provide for next-generation distributed applications. The goal is to revisit the implementation of WILDOS and Digiscape and better integrate them with Webstrates in order to simplify the development of distributed applications and interfaces for large wall-sized displays.
The successful candidate has worked on HCI-related projects and has excellent
knowledge and practice of web-based technologies:
* Front-end HTML/CSS/Javascript and Typescript;
* Back-end NodeJS;
* WebRTC;
* Distributed systems and protocols;
* Linux and MacOS. |

PhD Position in MSCA ETN AUTOBarge: Safety assurance of remotely operated and
fully autonomous inland vessels |
This early-stage researcher will aim to develop a generic safety-case
structure to assure the run-time safety of remotely operated or fully
autonomous inland vessels. For society to fully accept and trust the use and
operation of unmanned inland vessels, one must be able to provide convincing
confidence and argumentation about these vessels’ trustworthiness. However,
the challenges that come along with the safety assurance of unmanned vessels
should not be underestimated. First, current standards assume that there is a
human in the loop at every moment and that he/she can take over immediately in
case of emergency. For remotely operated vessels, one operator will be
monitoring multiple vessels at the same time, leading to divided attention,
and for fully autonomous vessels, a human operator will even be absent. Third,
the operation of unmanned vessels heavily depends on sensors, which
unavoidably have their limitations. To overcome these challenges, this early-
stage researcher will integrate the principles of Functional Safety (i.e.
avoid unreasonable risk due to hazards caused by randomly failing components
or hazardous systematic design errors), Safety-of-the-Intended-Function (i.e.
avoid unsafe behavior caused by sensors being used beyond their capabilities)
and Safe Nominal Behavior (i.e. will the system produce safe behavior in all
situations?) into a generic reasoning framework about the safety of unmanned |

Nuclear structure investigations using precision laser spectroscopy methods |
Atomic nuclei are complex systems of many strongly interacting protons and
neutrons.One way we can learn more about their structure, and about the
properties of the underlying nuclear forces, is through the measurement of
nuclear electromagnetic moments and nuclear charge radii. In this project,
studies of very short-lived atomic nuclei which provide a sensitive route to
improving our understanding of the atomic nucleus, will be performed through
experiments which measure these properties using efficient and selective
methods. Measurements are thus done at radioactive ion beam laboratories
throughout Europe, where short-lived nuclei are produced using powerful
particle accelerators.
At the CERN ISOLDE facility, experiments will be performed with the PI-LIST in
the ion source, and collinearly with the CRIS and COLLAPS setups. Using these
two techniques, data can be collected on very short-lived isotopes which are
very far from the valley of stability. Experimental information on these
exotic nuclei is crucial to learn how the structure of nuclei changes with
isospin. The properties of these exotic nuclei play a role in e.g. the origin
of the elements as remnants of nuclear reactions in the stars, but also
provide input to test the predictive power of modern nuclear theories, which
are based on interactions rooted in QCD (called ab-initio interactions). At
the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyvaskyla, a new experimental
beamline has recently been constructed to perform laser-radiofrequency
measurements to complement the suite of setups at ISOLDE. With this technique,
atomic hyperfine level energies will be measured with sub-kHz precision,
representing an improvement of three orders of magnitude as compared to
optical (laser) techniques which are currently in use at radioactive ion beam
laboratories. This leap in precision will allow us to measure hyperfine
anomalies and higher-order nuclear electromagnetic moments, for the first time
for radioactive isotopes. These observables will provide a new window on the
atomic nucleus. |

Chemical Engineering: Fully Funded KESS II MSc by Research Scholarship: An
electrochemical biosensor for in-situ detection of methyl-isoborneol (MIB) in
water |
***This scholarships is part funded by the Welsh Government’s European Social
Fund (ESF) programme for East Wales.***
**Start date:** October 2021
Methyl-isoborneol (MIB) is a naturally occurring compound released in water
when algae die off. Its occurrence in drinking water results in customer
complaints and unsatisfaction due to the unpleasant taste that MIB imparts to
the water. The raw water concentrations can reach up to 800 ng/L whilst the
taste threshold concentrations are extremely low ranging from 4 to 15 ng/L
depending on the individual. The current methods for MIB detection rely on
complicated protocols that involve several steps including sampling, sample
preparation (e.g. extraction), and off-site analysis using very expensive
laboratory equipment making MIB analysis time-consuming, labour intensive, and
expensive. Therefore, an alternative highly selective and sensitive method for
in-situ detection of MIB at the ng/L levels is highly desirable.
This project will develop a single ultrafast biosensor for _in-situ_ detection
of MIB using various electrochemical methods. Low cost carbon sensor
electrodes with properties of enhanced electron transfer and surface area will
be fabricated using flexographic printing. More importantly, specific
innovations are embodied in the novel implementation of non-conventional metal
porphyrins as recognition elements. They will generate characteristic
electrochemical signals upon interaction with MIB in water that are distinct
from those caused by non-specific adsorption. This will provide an essential
step towards label free, direct and easy-to-use _in situ_ monitoring devices.
Scholarships are collaborative awards with external partners including SMEs
and micro companies, as well as public and third sector organisations. The
scholarship provides 1 year funding with a 3 month period to complete the
thesis. The achievement of a postgraduate skills development award, PSDA, is
compulsory for each KESS II scholar and is based on a 40 credit award. |

Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Neuroimaging and Psychiatry |
Neuroimaging biomarkers are natural candidates for predicting
electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and multisystemic therapy (MST) response and
being influenced by its effects since they represent the underlying circuit
(“target”) that is stimulated by these techniques. In fact, promising
neuroimaging biomarkers have been identified for ECT so far, although their
generalizability is limited owing to small sample size and uncontrolled
designs. Therefore, this study represents a unique opportunity to explore
neuroimaging predictors and changes in the context of neuromodulation. This is
in accordance with our broader scope of “Precision Non-Implantable
Neuromodulation” and is part of “Module 2” of the project.
The candidate post-doctoral fellow must present a solid background in

health / psychiatry, being able to assess and interview the patients from our
project. The candidate shall present at least two publications in
neuroimaging, preferentially using different techniques. Further differentials
are experience in NIBS and convulsive therapies, in other neuroimaging
modalities, and/or in using packages such as R or Python. The candidate will
develop his/her activities at the Institute of Psychiatry of the Hospital das
Clínicas (HC), the hospital complex run by the University of São Paulo's
Medical School (FM-USP) in São Paulo, Brazil.
This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationalities. The selected
candidate will receive a Post-Doctoral fellowship from the São Paulo Research

Current research topics include system identification, flight dynamics
modelling, flight envelope determination, prediction and protection, nonlinear
(e.g., incremental) adaptive control, flying / handling qualities assessment,
intelligent flight control (e.g., reinforcement learning-based). Key
innovations in control theory and flight control system design are tested in
advanced facilities, including a fly-by-wire laboratory aircraft, a motion-
base flight simulator, and a laboratory for operating small drones.
A successful candidate is an expert in guidance, navigation and control theory
with an extensive international network in academia and industry. She or he
brings new topics to the AGNC cluster which have a high societal relevance and
offer attractive valorisation opportunities. Her/his expertise is
complementary to our existing research lines, such as for example robust
(flight) control, state estimation, fault detection and isolation,
sensor/actuator hardware, stochastic signal and system analysis.
Given that there are ample opportunities to adapt, tune, build and test real
control systems, experience and the desire to work with advanced (control)
software and sensor/actuator hardware on real flying platforms is a plus.
The new team member should bring in existing connections with national and
international (aerospace) industry, and demonstrate a capability to connect
research to industrial needs. At the Associate professor level we expect a

researchers, teachers and professors.
**Duties/Project description:** A postdoctoral position is available in the
group of Professor Mia Phillipson, Co-Director at SciLifeLab, for an applicant
with extensive technical expertise in in vivo imaging of immune cell
trafficking. Applicants with profound knowledge in either in vivo studies
including comprehensive surgery in mice or advanced confocal microscopy could
also possibly be considered. The current post doc project will mainly focus on
the bacterial-immune cell interactions taking place in the GI epithelium.
**Research group:** The research group of Prof. Phillipson is aiming to
uncover immune cell contributions to situations spanning from organ
development and regulation of homeostasis to inflammation and tissue
restoration following ischemic injury. By increasing our understanding of
immune cell contribution to both detrimental and regenerative situations,
novel strategies to prevent, control and treat diseases by immunotherapies
will be revealed. This is achieved by employing a wide range of techniques for
studies of immune cell trafficking and effector functions in vivo, in parallel
with functional studies of different disease models with strong translational
focus. The Phillipson laboratory is located within a unique environment
allowing functional and longitudinal in vivo studies, and in close proximity
to the largest national infrastructure within Life Sciences in Sweden,
SciLifeLab, with Prof. Phillispson as co-director. Further, observations from
Prof. Phillipson’s laboratory have resulted in a successful spin-off company
now in clinical phase (Ilya Pharma).
The Phillipson laboratory is equipped with state of the art technologies that
enable in vivo observations of mucus dynamics, bacterial interactions with
mucus, epithelium and immune cells, intravascular leukocyte-platelet-
endothelial cell interactions and blood flow. Several of our imaging setups
are partly developed in-house and used in conjunction with our expertise in
physiology to enable longitudinal in vivo studies. In addition to our high-
speed confocal in vivo microscopes, we also have several other types of
microscopes as well as equipment for flow cytometry, cell sorting, protein and
gene array techniques, and bioinformatics competence both within our own lab
and through our department of Medical Cell Biology and the SciLifeLab core
facilities.
**Requirements:** To qualify for an employment as a postdoctor you must have a
PhD degree or a foreign degree equivalent to a PhD degree in immunology,
physiology or cell biology. The PhD degree must have been obtained no more
than three years prior to the application deadline. The three year period can
be extended due to circumstances such as sick leave, parental leave, duties in
labour unions, etc.
It is an absolute requirement that the candidate is strongly self-motivated
and enthusiastic about both leading projects and collaborating in the other
projects of the group. Our group is a young, dynamic and very enthusiastic
research team with a well-established collaborative network and strong
funding. We are looking for a person that shares the same will and drive to
pioneer the complex field of immunophysiology.
The candidate must have/be:
* Degrees, publications or other proof of knowledge in immunology and/or physiology, preferably with a specialization in the study of the gastrointestinal tract

Postdoc in Christianity, Populism and Nationalism |
**About the subject**
The research area “Christianity, Populism and Nationalism” covers questions
related to the interchange, relations and overlapping between Christianity and
the two political-ideological phenomena of populism and nationalism in the
past as well as the present.
Christianity has a close, complex and multifaceted relationship to nationalism
as well as political populism. While the origins of nationalism and the role
of Christianity in the emergence of nationalism are debated, there is and has
been significant ideological interchange between the two. In a similar way,
political populism interacts with Christianity: populist movements draw on
Christian identity, and Christian symbols and narratives are laid claim to in
the rhetoric of populist movements. Both nationalism and political populism
have mostly been studied by political scientists, sociologists and historians,
which means that the theological and religious studies side of the topic has
remained a less charted terrain. This post-doctoral position addresses this
research gap.
The position will be related to the interdisciplinary research platform
“Christianity & Nationalism” at the CTR ([www.ctr.lu.se/christianity-and-
nationalism](http://www.ctr.lu.se/christianity-and-nationalism)), and relates
to research that is today conducted in all disciplines at the CTR. Research
proposals pertaining to any of these disciplines are welcome, and there is no
specific geographical, cultural or denominational focus assigned to the
position.
**Duties**
The employed person is expected to contribute to the research environment
through active participation in research seminars and other research-related
activities at the CTR (e.g. organising workshops and seminars, and
contributing to the development of research applications). The postdoctoral
fellow is also expected to take part in teaching at B.A. and master’s levels.
These tasks require the postdoctoral fellow to have a high level of presence
at the workplace. Teaching, supervision, and other administrative tasks
comprise a maximum of 20% of the position.
**Qualifications**
The candidate must have been awarded a Th.D., a Ph.D. or an international
degree deemed equivalent not more than three years before the application
deadline. If the degree was awarded earlier, the candidate must provide
certificates of parental leave, illness or similar reasons for leave in the
application. Applicants must be able to document advanced proficiency in
English and sufficient proficiency in languages relevant to the proposed
research project.
**Assessment criteria**
The grounds for assessment are a good ability to develop and conduct high-
quality research, and teaching skills. The main criterion for a postdoctoral
fellowship is research expertise. In all other respects, the assessment will
be based on the requirements specified for the post. As documentation for the
assessment of qualifications, applicants are to submit a project plan of the
research they intend to carry out during their appointment.
**Specific additional qualifications**
* Significant knowledge of Christian theology, practice and history documented by a degree, an academic thesis and/or publications.
* Significant knowledge of political studies or related fields documented by a degree, an academic thesis and/or publications.
* Previous research on Christianity and populism and/or nationalism.

questions “What strategies have been used in narrative and visual depictions
of “desirable” human-animal coexistence? What factors have influenced the
development of these strategies?” through a careful and detailed analysis of
various figurations of “desirable” human animal-relationships produced in
North America and in Great Britain, in the period 1850s-2000s. The project is
going to analyze literary depictions and various visualizations of these ideas
– from utopian literature of the nineteenth century to the very contemporary
trend of heartwarming “viral” videos depicting interspecies friendship through
the aesthetics of cuteness. Some of these cultural texts were crafted
specifically with the goal of providing solutions to what were/are perceived
as pressing issues directly related to interspecies coexistence, while others
present these positive relationships as a side-text. An obvious and strong
hypothesis for beginning the research is that in the earlier texts, harmonious
coexistence is the result of careful but active human stewardship of nature,
while the more contemporary texts and narrative modes depict the non-human
animals themselves as more active agents in the processes of shaping
interspecies harmony: interspecies friendships become model templates for
performing acts of kindness. Another strong hypothesis, largely tied to the
preceding one, is the growing secularization of depictions of interspecies
harmony in British and American literature and art between the mid-19th
century and the 21st . It is in the mid-19 century, when the traditional
Christian symbolism flowing directly from the Book of Isaiah’s “the lion and
the lamb” gradually begins to be abandoned in favor of a range of other non-
religious connotations. It is also interesting how contemporary
environmentalist/animal studies discourses rehash the old “peaceable kingdom”
imagery in a new postsecular framework. The primary sources for this project
range from “high” literature, through popular literature (here, especially
children’s literature and cinema, due to its overtly didactic character,
abound in depictions of model human-animal coexistence, or at least aim to
teach children how to interact with animals), popular Hollywood cinema and
various performances (nonovertly artistic, but rather explicitly educational
or entertaining) incorporating animals (from descriptions and illustrations of
nineteenth century “dog and pony” shows to instructional videos produced by
animal “experts” like Monty Roberts (aka The Horse Whisperer) or Temple
Grandin. This project brings together cultural texts that have not been seen
as forming a specific canon: they are divergent and have rarely been read
together. However, it is precisely through the juxtaposition of these
couplings (like nineteenth century animal exhibits and contemporary Instagram
videos, or Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s utopia Herland and Disney’s Zootopia)
that new understandings of broader discourses can emerge. The strength of the
project lies not only in its bringing together of texts that have not been
read as related, but also in its potential influence on both academic and non-
academic debate and public consciousness. After all, the topic is closely tied
to very practical questions which define contemporary public discourse: how
can humans – to paraphrase Haraway – live response-ably with other beings?
While the goal is NOT to provide prescriptive guidelines for the general
public, the deconstruction of some of the images and narratives that circulate
in the public sphere as answers has potential for changing not only academic
but also public discourse; to encourage consumers of these narratives to
rethink their own interactions with them. Of course, to achieve this goal, a
level of public involvement is going to be a necessary part of the project and
this is why activities such as blogging, running a Twitter account and
interviews with the media are also planned. Luckily, the animal turn in the
academia is accompanied by huge public interest in animals and a general
reconceptualization of human-animal relationships. In other words, a huge
community receptive to the ideas developed by the team exists and can easily
be harnessed. In terms of its significance for the field of animal studies and
the broader environmental humanities, the project is going to fill a gap in
existing research and, hopefully, provide guidance for the field’s
development. Significantly, it can also serve as something of a lens of self-
examination, 2 as it probes certain aesthetic and narrative strategies that
are sometimes adopted by animal rights and environmentalist activist
discourses. While animal studies is undeniably linked to pro-animal activism
and the environmental humanities to ecological activism, the purpose of
academic research coming from within these field should always focus on the
truth-telling (parrhesia, using Foucault’s terminology) function. If
environmentalist discourses tend to create certain myths of their own, there
exists a moral imperative to deconstruct these myths just like any other
myths. The predominance of the aesthetics and affects of cuteness can,
paradoxically, have negative effects on the animals themselves, as humans form
unrealistic expectation about human-animal interactions and the animal umwelt.
Regardless of the detailed findings of the project, the very act of examining
the figurations that constitute “interspecies harmony” brings to the surface
the cultural constructedness of this often-unexamined concept. |

PhD scholarship: Innovative Roof Structures in Post-war Parish Churches:
Towards a Multifaceted Assessment |
Recycling existing built fabric is increasingly becoming a key ingredient of
sustainable urban development. Structures realized after WWII require special
attention in this context as they constitute over 60% of the existing building
stock in Belgium. Yet, little knowledge exists about how these buildings were
actually constructed, and what state they are in today. As a case in point,
this research looks into the great number of parish churches built between
1960-1975 in Flanders and Brussels. Significantly different from their
predecessors both in conceptual and material terms, these churches present
particular (heritage) challenges in a context of adaptive reuse. We focus
especially on their often innovative roof structures, for they constitute both
their signature element and Achilles heel today. To this effect, this project
proposes a multifaceted, in-depth investigation, coupling a case-study
approach with a fundamental scientific research based on three different but
interrelated disciplines, namely Construction History, Building Pathology and
Conservation Theory. By integrating concepts, methods and procedures from each
of these three fields, this research will not only substantially enrich the
knowledge about the post-war built fabric, but also contribute to a more
sustainable strategy towards its adaptive reuse. |

PhD student |
Currently, bovine mastitis has become a multifactorial disease characterized
by high clinical and economic significance. Economic losses caused by mastitis
include reduced milk production and changes of its composition, loss of output
due to antimicrobial resistance and veterinary costs. The different treatment
methods in particular European countries has caused the resistance of selected
bacteria to antimicrobial agents. Studies show that excessive antibiotic
treatment has resulted in the greater resistance of mastitis pathogens. So,
the development of technologies for detection of antibiotics able to use to
on-site in the field diagnostics of bovine mastitis are very desirable and
would permit for rapid intervention to stop and prevent mastitis. Therefore,
it is very important to develop a very sensitive, simple, cheap, and selective
antibiotic detection tool applicable for therapy effects in order to perform a
large amount of analyses in a short time. Electrochemical biosensors which we
plan to use for this purpose meet such requirements.
To date, several systems have been developed for the electrochemical detection
of antibiotics. However, simultaneous detection of many antibiotics during one
measurement cycle, on single working electrode using redox markers is a big
challenge and has not been presented so far. The most important features of
such tests are low cost, labour and convenience. This subject is timely and
extremely important, not only from a scientific point of view, but also has a
deep social significance. Thus, in the frame of this project, we undertake to
solve these interesting issues. We are going to develop electrochemical
systems allowing detection of at least two antibiotics on a single measurement
electrode. For the construction of these systems, we will use aptamers as the
receptor elements, which will be attached in a stable and oriented manner on
the nanoparticles surface. The analytical signal will be generated by redox
active labels attached to the nanoparticles or encapsulated into protein
nanocages. Antibiotics concentrations will be tested using developed systems
in samples of milk, blood, muscle and fat tissue from cattle in the course and
after bovine mastitis antibiotic therapy done by experienced veterinarians In
the frame of the project, physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for
antibiotic residue will be proposed The model will allow the user to change
the initial level of chosen used antibiotic and simulate the antibiotic level
over any time frame in the chosen tissues (blood, milk, fat, muscle).This
research will be carried out using electrochemical and optical techniques
available at home institute. Systems designed may in the future find practical
application in the cattle antibiotic therapy. |

61508 and EN 50128, and recent co-engineering initiatives (initiatives taking
both safety and cybersecurity into account) such as ISO/TR 4804, the safety
landscape digital systems have to comply to will be laid out across
application domains. Using this knowledge, the impact of safety requirements
on cybersecurity will be determined and reported. Using several use cases,
established risk analysis and risk reduction techniques are evaluated and
improved upon. To merge this safety knowledge with cybersecurity, a co-
engineering development process will be created.
For this vacancy, we are looking for an enthusiastic employee with ambitions
to pursue a PhD in this topic who shows a dynamic and pro-active attitude
towards research and industry.
Overall project description:
Nowadays, developing digital systems is not easy as both safety and
cybersecurity must be taken into account, while these domains have matured
independently. Safety has been regulated (through laws and standards) for
several decades now, while cybersecurity has only been regulated more
recently. In our new project 'co-Assurance', we tackle this project and
integrate these two domains and aim to create a co-engineering development
process. More concretely, co-Assurance:
* Creates a regulation landscape by looking at safety laws and standards, cybersecurity laws and standards and up and coming co-engineering standards;
* Takes a deeper look at risk-and-threat analysis techniques, such as FMEVA and STPA-Sec;
* Maps risk reduction techniques to cybersecurity standards and thread mitigation techniques to safety standards;
* Integrates all of the above into one co-engineering development process;
* Validates all of the above through several industrial use case.
This vacancy represents the safety-side of the co-Assurance project. The
cybersecurity-side is researched by our colleagues of Campus Ghent, with whom
active collaboration will take place. |

PhD position in computational science with focus on evolutionary ecology |
_The Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at Umeå University
invites applicants for a PhD position in computational science, focused on
evolutionary ecology. The position is for four years of doctoral studies which
include both participation in research and postgraduate courses. Last day to
apply is September 1, 2021._
**Project description and tasks
** A key issue in ecology is how biodiversity affects the stability and
functions of ecosystems. In this project, we will develop an integrative
framework that will be used to systematically study this question from an
evolutionary perspective and at different spatial and temporal scales.
Specifically, we will use eco-evolutionary modelling techniques that we have
recently developed (see, for example, Wickman et al. 2019; _Ecology Letters_
22: 1746-1756) to create virtual communities of coexisting species through
evolutionary processes.
We plan to compare ecosystem functions such as biomass production and resource
use between communities of resource competitors that were either randomly
assembled or have evolved through natural selection. To study the importance
of spatial factors, we will explore these processes on spatially heterogeneous
landscapes and will sample the communities on different spatial scales. We
also plan to investigate how different metrics, e.g. different measures of
biodiversity, differ in the ability to predict ecosystem functions. If time
allows, we will extend the ecological communities to several trophic levels
enabling the evolution of food webs.
**Qualifications
** The PhD student will be admitted to third-cycle studies in computational
science and engineering with specialization in mathematics.
To be admitted for studies at third-cycle level the applicant is required to
have completed a second-cycle level degree, or completed course requirements
of at least 240 ECTS credits, of which at least 60 ECTS credits are at second-
cycle level, or have an equivalent education from abroad, or equivalent
qualifications.
For third-cycle studies in computational science and engineering (CSE), the
applicant is required to have completed at least 90 credits in CSE courses, of
which at least 30 credits shall have been acquired at second-cycle level. CSE
courses refer to courses with major quantitative, statistical or computing
science elements, such as courses in computing science, mathematics and
mathematical statistics or computationally intensive courses from other
relevant fields.
Applicants who in some other system either within Sweden or abroad have
acquired largely equivalent skills are also eligible.
Good knowledge of English language, both written and spoken, is required.
Programming skills and knowledge of ecology is very advantageous. Experience
of working interdisciplinary or of using computational or mathematical methods
in a field such as biology or ecology is advantageous.
You are expected to play an active role in the development of this doctoral
project and also in the department. You are expected to have a scientific and
result-oriented approach for your work. You should therefore have very good
communication and collaboration skills. You are structured, flexible and
solution-oriented.
The assessments of the applicants are based on their qualifications and their
ability to benefit from the doctoral-level education they will receive.
**About the employment
** The position is intended to result in a doctoral degree and the main task
of the PhD student is to pursue their doctoral studies which include
participation in research and doctoral courses, and to take part in the WASP
graduate school. The duties can include teaching and other departmental work
(up to a maximum of 20%). The employment is limited to the equivalent of four
years of full-time (48 months) or up to five years when teaching part-time.

Doctoral Fellowship in Recommender systems |
* **Research topic** : We seek applications for a full-time four-year PhD student position in the field of Recommender Systems. Nowadays, the large amount of information available often creates a cognitive overload when it comes to decision making. Recommender systems are becoming more and more popular to help users navigate through the world of possible choices.
There are two common and recurrent challenges when designing a recommender
system. First, the “ramp-up” or “cold- start” problem, that is, when the model
has to face a lack of information when new users or new items enter the
system. Second, the presence of a popularity bias, when systems generate
recommendations biased towards more popular items. Consequently, users acting
on those suggestions are amplifying even further the sources of bias in the
system.
The thesis focuses on exploring creative ways to solve sparcity and bias
issues by deriving features from unstructured data sources (e.g., social media
and digital activities).
* **Research environment** : your workplace is primarily located at the UCLouvain FUCaM campus in Mons. You will belong to the Louvain Research Institute in Management and Organizations (LouRIM). The institute is devoted to theoretical and applied, empirical and experimental studies of management of private and public organizations, including but not limited to research on internal and external functional management processes that are present in all enterprises and organizations. Your research might involve other academic or industry partners.
* **What to include in your application** :
a) a motivation letter, including full contact details
b) a curriculum vitae (with relevant grades)
c) a digital copy of your master thesis (optional)
d) previous publications (optional, if any)
e) ideal starting date (optional, if different from 1st October 2021) |

PhD scholarship for highly motivated candidate on the perception of light and
color in virtual reality. |
Understanding and predicting the perception and appearance of light and color
in realistic scenes is one of the ultimate goals of color science. Advances in
virtual reality provide the opportunity to use highly realistic stimuli in an
unprecedentedly controlled way, making it a promising innovative, efficient
and economical research tool with potentially groundbreaking consequences for
the study, understanding and prediction of perception of realistic scenes.
However, current knowledge and understanding of how (well) color perception in
virtual reality corresponds to that in actual reality is limited. This project
aims to experimentally characterize and compare major, not yet fully
understood, aspects of color perception (chromatic adaptation, simultaneous
contrast and spatial effects) in actual and virtual reality to deepen our
understanding of these fundamental processes and to establish mathematical
models to predict perception in real and virtual environments.
The work will involve among others continuous literature and technology
review, setting up experiment setups in real and virtual environments (3D
renderings presented on head-mounted displays), performing psychophysical
experiments, programming, statistical analysis of results, color appearance
modelling, presenting results and conclusions at scientific conferences and in
peer-reviewed journal publications. |

Researcher in Optics / Photonics for DMD-Based Wavefront Shaping and Optical
Computation |
The Group of microscopy and super-resolution in IIT-CLNS, in collaboration
with the IIT-CrestOptics Jointlab, is hiring a new PostDoc to kick-off and
develop the “DMD-Based Wavefront Shaping and optical Computation” research
line.
The project is focused on the realization of an instrument for the fast
optical tailoring of laser beam thanks to Wavefront shaping and in the
exploitation of tailored wavefronts for optical computation.
Analogic optical computation could beat electronics in performance[Ref 1] but
lacks in reconfigurability. The candidate will employ a reconfigurable
adaptive optical system to tackle different Computational and deconvolution
problems. Examples are: simulation of spin glass dynamics [ Ref 2], training
of a deep neural network, calculating protein affinity, spinning disk
microscopy and super-resolution of biological images.
The researcher will design and realize a novel electronic architecture for the
fast control of a digital micromirror device (DMD), collaborating with the IIT
Electronics Design Laboratory. Then he will employ the hardware for the quick
control of laser wavefront on several experimental apparatus. Moreover the
Researcher will collaborate with the IIT-CrestOptics Jointlab to implement the
use of the novel hardware in super resolution-spinning disk microscopy
instruments.

Postdoctoral position - biomimetic artificial systems for catalysis |
A post-doctoral positions (18 months) is open in the general field of the
physical chemistry of soft matter at the University of Louvain in Louvain-la-
Neuve, Belgium. The work concerns the synthesis and the study of the
properties of short chains (oligomers) having a precise sequence of functional
groups, among which catalytic groups and DNA base analogs, to fabricate
multifunctional catalytic chains similar to enzymes.
Precision oligomers are short chains with a defined stereo-controlled sequence
of functional monomer units. We have developed a synthesis route allowing to
generate short oligomeric strands comprising functional units among which
catalytic groups and DNA-base analogs. We are now looking for a researcher for
the inclusion of these sequences in a long chain to form macromolecules
capable to assemble in single-macromolecule catalytic globules reminiscent of
enzymes, and the study of the catalytic properties of these systems.
Participation to the synthesis of the oligomers is a part of the requirements.
The research is part of an EoS (Excellence of Science) project, a highly-
competitive collaborative program of the Belgium National Science Funds
(FWO/FNRS). It involves the collaboration between the groups of Filip Du Prez
in Ghent, Bert Meijer in Eindhoven, Mathieu Surin in Mons, and our group in
Louvain, which fosters the expertise of Alain Jonas, Karine Glinel and Antony
Fernandes. The post-doctoral researcher will be asked to participate actively
in this collaborative effort.
Participation to the management of the group, student mentoring and support to
teaching is also part of the job, to a moderate extent. |

Protection System and HVDC Converter Control Interaction |
Decarbonising the energy sector entails a radical change to the design and
operation of the existing power system, traditionally centred on alternating
current (AC) technology. This change is being underpinned by a move from
rotating synchronous machines to power-electronic converters on the generation
side as well as a growing number of applications of power electronics in the
transmission and distribution networks. These power-electronic converters are
used as interface between the renewable energy generators (e.g. wind turbines
or photovoltaic arrays). Power-electronic converters are also increasingly
used in the transmission system, for example to create new transmission links
based on direct current (DC) technology, which can efficiently transport large
amountsof power over long distances. One of the challenges associated with the
massive integration of power-electronic converters is to guarantee the
correctfunctioning of existing power system protections. These protections
have the crucial task to detect and identify short-circuit faults and
subsequently remove them from the system, preventing a domino effect of
failure across the grid and ensuring security of supply to electricity users.
To guarantee safe operationof the power system, research in this PhD will be
performed on the interactions between control loops of state-of-the-art HVDC
converters and existing AC protections, and new control methods will be
developed to mitigate these interactions. The PhD student will make extensive
use of the laboratory setups at KU Leuven (real-time hardware-in-the-loop
simulation) and the University of Edinburgh (high-power power-electronic
converter setup) to validate the developedcontrol algorithm and future
electricity network infrastructure. |

PhD Candidate: Computational model of guided growth in immature skeleton for
custom-made correction of deformities. |
**Vacancy for PhD Thesis:** Computational model of guided growth in immature
skeleton for custom-made correction of deformities.
**Type of Contract** : full time, 48 months
**Doctorate programme** : Information and Communication Technologies, UPF
**Starting date** : October-November 2021
**Short description:**
Limb deformities in children motivate frequently pediatric orthopedic
consultations, either because of angular disorder (genus valgus / varus),
torsional (internal / external torsion), longitudinal (leg length discrepancy)
or combinations thereof. We currently apply guided growth techniques with
implants that temporarily block the physis. These techniques correctly solve
genu valgus but are not as effective for genu varus or leg length discrepancy
and are not effective for torsional or combined deformities. In addition,
these techniques often lead to complications such as the emergence of
deformities in other planes or the change of epiphyseal joint shape.
The objective of the present PhD project is to create a computational model of
physical growth that allows to customize the treatment of a specific deformity
through individualized designs of implant and the ability of the devices to
correct the deformity with the greatest efficiency and the shortest time. It
is part of a larger scale project that combines the physeal surgery in
experimental animal (pig) and the computer development of the simulation model
of physial growth, in collaboration with the children Hospital Sant Joan de
Deu, Barcelona. The computational model development stands for the core of the
proposed PhD thesis at BCN MedTech. Its development will combine image
analysis and mechanobiological theories of epiphyseal bone growth, through
finite element modelling, to simulate different growth guidance systems made
of plates or screws. The model will be uniquely calibrated and validated
against it ability to recreate and correct deformities against the
experimental animal model. Eventually, it will be transferred to the
physiological characteristics of the human bone, leading to a tool to properly
plan the surgical correction of growth deformities in patients.
**Working lab** : Biomechanics & Mechanobiology (BMMB), BCN MedTech.
The BMMB is one of the eight Research Areas of BCN MedTech. It settled at UPF
in 2015. Research at BMMB focuses on the load-bearing organs and tissues of
the human body in health and disease, and it targets (i) the interactions
between tissue multiphysics and biological processes, (ii) the multiscale
regulation of organ functional biomechanics, (iii) the identification of
mechanistic risk factors associated with different diseases and disorders,
based on synthetic data and on the virtual augmentation of real world data.
Numerical methods that combine different modelling and simulation techniques
are used to describe both the tissues at the organ level, and the tissue-cell
interactions at the tissue and cellular levels. Models are usually developed
to admit real world biological and/or clinical data as inputs, in addition to
mechanical data from motion analyses where relevant. Theoretical and numerical
concepts are tested against in vivo and in vitro data, allowing mechanistic
interpretations of both experimental and clinical evidences, in addition to
model validations.
On the one hand, emphasis is given in the study of the multiscale transfer of
mechanical effects from the system level to the cell level in different
scenarios, e.g. simulated treatments, organ/tissue condition or cell cultures;
relative to a chosen reference state. On the other hand, advanced tissue
models are used to link observable phenotypes to possible mechanisms of
spatiotemporal tissue regulation that will depend on the prediction of
different cell microenvironments. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches are
adopted, to eventually apprehend the regulation of highly multifactorial
diseases and disorders.

Post-docotoral researcher position |
**Flame speed and ignition delay determination at high pressure and
temperature for kinetics scheme development.**
_Context & Objectives_:
Flame speed and ignition delays are sizing parameters to be considered in the
design of energetic industrial systems. Moreover, their significance makes
them major targets for the validation of kinetic mechanisms.
Due to experimental difficulties, most of the available flame speed database
are for relatively limited thermodynamic conditions and for independent
variations of pressure and temperature. These limitations may be overpassed by
using spherically expanding flames with the constant volume method. This
methodology, introduced in the 30s by Lewis and von Elbe, requires the
knowledge of the pressure evolution in the combustion chamber. The isochoric
method has been penalized for a long time because of the underlying
assumptions (i.e. accuracy of the models for the burned mass fraction, stretch
effects, influence of burnt gases equilibrium state and of radiation, or
problems in flame instability detection). This method was recently revisited
with a coupled experimental / numerical approach integrating radiation and
dissociation effects while maintaining moderate computing costs. The current
study uses a new perfectly spherical isochoric combustion chamber with full
optical access (OPTIPRIME) allowing the simultaneous recording of pressure and
flame radius inside the chamber during the full combustion process [1-3].
Flame speeds over large pressure and temperature domains are then obtained
from these raw data with very good accuracy and SL = f (T, P) maps can be
generated. These new experimental targets allow constraining kinetic
mechanisms under unprecedented conditions and the identification of key
reactions needing improvements.
Ignition delays will be measured using a Rapid Compression Machine (RCM) fully
described in [4, 5]. High pressure before the ignition will be reached in
order to mimic industrial conditions. As demonstrated in [6] ignition delay
could be measured up to 60 bar and 1000 K.
The proposed post-doc position will use the two experimental facility recently
developed at ICARE and PRISME in the Combustion Group of the University of
Orleans.
New experiments will be performed to complete the existing database for a
large range of conditions (liquid fuels, pressure and temperature). The
obtained unique database will then be used for improving existing kinetic
mechanisms.
Skills in flame speed measurements, ignition delay times measurements and data
processing will be highly appreciated.

Post-doc, exploring the role of tectonically driven changes in erosion and
weathering in the late Cretaceous global climate cooling |
The late Cretaceous period records a major long-term climate cooling that
represents the first step of the last greenhouse to icehouse transition
leading to our modern icehouse climate mode. Yet the origin this first cooling
step still remains largely discussed, although a concomitant decrease in
atmospheric CO2 levels points to the involvement of processes governing the
long-term carbon cycle. If much effort has been dedicated to estimate
variations in CO2 degassing rates, the role of continental weathering, that
drawdown atmospheric CO2 through silicate weathering reactions, still remains
largely unknown for this period of time.
The post-doc will investigate the impact of tectonic uplifts of part of the
African margins and of western Europe on continental erosion and weathering
intensity during the late Cretaceous. He/she will apply a novel geochemical
approach, combining clay mineralogical analyses with clay Nd and Hf isotope
composition (ΔεHf) and Li isotope composition to explore the potential link
between these tectonic events and the global climate cooling that occurred at
that time. Samples for mineralogical and geochemical analyses will be
recovered both from outcrops and from IODP/DSDP cores.

Doctoral scholarship |
**Research project name and description:**
"The process of restoring meaning in cancer: the role of psychological
flexibility. An intensive longitudinal and experimental study", NCN project no
2020/39/B/HS6/01927 (OPUS 20) led by Aleksandra Kroemeke, PhD, Professor at
SWPS University.
Cancer often causes a series of losses that oscillate over time and require
adaptation. These losses can interfere with an individual's life goals and
sense of meaningfulness, hence the restoration of meaning constitutes an
important element of adjustment to illness. The project aims to gain a deeper
understanding of the process of making meaning in cancer by validating and
extending the integrative meaning-making model of coping. To this end, an
intensive longitudinal (i.e. diary) and experimental study will be conducted
among people who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Post doctoral position in Biostatistics |
The INSERM SPHERE Unit U1246 is part of both the Universities of Tours and
Nantes and aims to contribute to high-quality research in methods on patient-
centered outcomes and health research.
We are looking for a motivated scientific staff member to join our team and
engage in our research project QUARTET.
The research project QUARTET deals with time-to-event outcomes in cluster
randomized trials. Cluster randomised trials are trials in which intact social
units, such as hospitals, medical practices or communities, are randomized to
intervention or control conditions while outcomes are assessed on individuals
within such clusters. The use of cluster randomised trials to evaluate
clinical and public health interventions has been rising in recent years.
In cluster randomised trials, outcomes assessed on individuals from a given
cluster are correlated. This clustering has to be taken into account at the
planning stage, leading to an increased sample size to reach the same power as
a comparable individually randomized trial. Analysis methods of a cluster
randomised trial must also account for the correlated nature of the outcomes
within clusters. This can be done by using either mixed-effects models, in
which clusters are treated as random effects, or marginal models estimated
with generalized estimating equations (GEEs). When reporting the results of a
cluster randomised trial, a measure of intracluster correlation should be
reported, usually the intracluster correlation coefficient.
Most of the developments to quantify the clustering in cluster randomised
trials have considered continuous or binary outcomes. The intracluster
correlation coefficient (or any other measure of intracluster correlation) for
TTE outcomes has not been clearly defined.
The post-doctoral researcher will work specifically on measures of clustering
for time-to-event outcomes in cluster randomised trials. This will include
analytical developments and simulations.
The position could include teaching activity and a master’s thesis
supervision.
The position will be based in the office space of the SPHERE unit in the
teaching hospital of Tours, France. The applicant will have his/her own office
with an adequately powered computer.
The candidate must have completed a PhD in a relevant discipline (e.g.
biostatistics, medical statistics, bioinformatics). Advanced programming
skills in the statistical software program R/RStudio are a prerequisite. The
candidate must be fluent in written and spoken English.
An experience in statistical methods for cluster randomised trials or any
other situation with correlated data and/or an experience in survival analysis
would be appreciated. |

weightings: curricular evaluation (CE) — 70% and interview (In) — 30%.
Applications considered admissible will be scored on a scale of 0 to 100 in
both the curricular evaluation and the interview.
1st phase — curricular evaluation (CE), with a weight of 70%.
Each of the following evaluation criteria will be scored on a scale of 0 to
100:
* Criterion A — merit of the candidate with weight of 70%;
* Subcriterion A1 — curriculum vitae, with a weight of 60%

the ESCAPE project,
\- integration of the open-source software solution Gammapy from CTA in the
platform,
\- integration of the tools to build the provenance of the data produced by
the CTA pipelines,
\- preparation and analysis of H.E.S.S. and CTA data by getting involved in
the development of Gammapy: for example, development of gammapy
functionalities on temporal analysis,
\- tests on the high level archive for H.E.S.S.
These activities require strong interactions and coordination with ESCAPE
partners, the international CTA consortium and other ESFRI projects in
astronomy.
Applications are open for a post-doctoral position at Paris Observatory,
France. The successful candidate will be a member of the High Energy Phenomena
(PHE) research team at LUTH and is expected to play a leading role in the
activities of the European Science Cluster of Astronomy & Particle physics
ESFRI research infrastructures (H2020-ESCAPE) project in relation to the
Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observatory.
The successful candidate will carry out activities mainly focused on some of
the challenges related to the CTA data, e.g. setting up the ESCAPE Science
Analysis Platform (ESAP), which aims at integrating data from European
research infrastructures into EOSC (European Open Science Cloud). This
includes the development and evaluation of Virtual Observatory standards to
make the scientific data of CTA and its precursors (such as H.E.S.S. - High

M/W Post-doctorant - Syntheses of new organic compounds for physics and
chemistry |
\- participate in the "stable beams" master projet of the IN2P3,
\- propose, when he/she deems it necessary, instrumental developments
\- present his/her research through the publication of scientific and
communication articles at national and international congresses.
The study of superheavy nuclei makes use of special beams and targets, the
preparation of which requires a to associate disciplinary excellence of
physicists and chemists. The IPHC is currently the reference laboratory for
the synthesis of MIVOC compounds for the production of heavy metal beams for
nuclear physics. For example, the isotopic 50Ti and 54Cr organometallic
compounds prepared by the IPHC are used in experiments to produce a new atomic
element Z=120 at Dubna (Russia). The isotopic compounds for experiments at the
Grand Accélérateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL) in Caen are also prepared by
our team. The success of this scientific research theme is the result of
multidisciplinary collaboration conducted at international level.
The candidate will be in charge of the synthesis of MIVOC compounds for
experiments conducted by IN2P3 researchers and their collaborations. He/she
will be particularly involved in the development of new MIVOC compounds, with
a focus on the magnesium, selenium, thorium, uranium and zinc elements
discussed in the framework of the IN2P3 Stable Beam Master Project. He/she
will also perform syntheses of MIVOC isotopic compounds for which synthesis
protocols have already been established. In view of the cost of these highly
enriched isotopic compounds, special attention will also be given to the
development of protocols for the separation of isotopic synthetic residues, in
particular based on ion exchange resins, in order to be able to recycle as
much of these elements as possible. Developments in high-temperature methods
have also led the team to produce isotopic metal pellets. The researcher will
work to improve our protocols for preparing these samples in close
collaboration with other MIVOC members.
The researcher will develop the synthesis of new molecules based on transition
elements and/or lanthanide ions in close collaboration with the other members
of the SynPA team. This part of the project will focus on new luminescent
probes capable of generating an upward conversion of photons into solution,
for which the team is currently one of the world leaders (Nature Commun. 2016,
7:11978; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2017,139, 1456, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2019, 141, 1568).
The IPHC is a laboratory that combines disciplinary and multidisciplinary
excellence with research and development conducted by its teams at the
international level. The proposed post-doctoral program includes complementary
activities in close partnership with two research teams:
\- Team "From nuclei to the stars" (DNE) - Department of Subatomic Research
(DRS)
Head. Benoît GALL
The team "from the nucleus to the stars" (DNE) is a group of experimental
physicists who study stellar nuclear reactions, reaction mechanisms, perform
spectroscopy of exotic nuclei and search for new isotopes or superheavy
elements, and make spectroscopy when possible. The DNE Group also has a long
tradition of instrumental developments.
\- Team "Synthesis Analysis Team" (SynPA) - Department of Analytical Sciences
(DSA)
Head. Loïc CHARBONNIERE
Synthesis Analysis Team (SynPA) is specialized in the synthesis of ligands and
their use in coordination chemistry and organometallic chemistry. One of the
main focuses of the team is to develop the synthesis of MIVOC compounds
(volatile organometallic compounds), the other topics being dedicated to the
use of complexes for imaging (MRI, microscopy, PET and SPECT).
Sharing working time is allocated equally between the two teams, with possible
variations depending on service requirements or experimental activities. |

Postdoc model based development of fed-batch fermentation processes for enzyme
production |
With the growing demand for greener bio based consumer products, every
fraction of biomass should be efficiently used and appropriately modified to
obtain the desired properties. Xylans, xylose polymers present in the cell
walls of all plants, represent the third most abundant biopolymer on Earth.
With appropriate modifications, xylans have outstanding physical and chemical
properties, which make them suitable for incorporation in an array of
different products, replacing less-sustainable product components. To unleash
their full potential, currently unknown enzymes have to be discovered for
tailor made modifications of these polymers.
This Postdoc project, which is part of a large Horizon 2020 consortium
consisting of 13 partners, will focus on the model based development and
optimization of efficient fermentation processes for the production of
specific xylan modifying enzymes. Enzyme producing bacterial and yeast strains
will be constructed by the project partners. Model based fermentation process
design will require lab scale fermentation experiments ((transient)chemostat,
accelerostat, fed-batch) to obtain quantitative stoichiometric and kinetic
data for model construction. Model based designs will then be implemented on
lab scale and further optimized and tested on pilot plant scale in cooperation
with the project partners. |

Postdoc position in digital companions as social actors |
The research group Intelligent Interactive Systems at the Department of
Computing Science at Umeå University is seeking outstanding candidates for a
post-doctoral position in Computer Science with focus on digital companions as
social actors. **Deadline for application is September 1, 2021**.
The Department of Computing Science is a dynamic environment with around 140
employees representing more than 20 countries worldwide. We conduct education
and research on a broad range of topics in Computing Science. The department’s
work on Artificial Intelligence has a strong international position, in
particular on the topics of collaborative and responsible AI. In these areas,
the Interactive and Intelligent Systems group conducts research on AI systems
that need to manifest social intelligence and adaptive behaviour when
collaborating with the human. For this purpose, the group investigates formal
models of actors, activity and situations, reasoning and decision-making
frameworks, and explores together with stakeholder groups behaviours of
interactive AI systems for improving human capacity, autonomy and health, such
as digital companions, dialogue systems, behaviour change systems and
persuasive systems. The group collaborates interdisciplinary research with
national and international research groups, and with public and private
organisations. For more information see
.
This project “Digital Companions as Social Actors: Employing Socially
Intelligent Systems for Managing Stress and Improving Emotional Wellbeing” is
financed by the Marcus and Marianne Wallenberg Foundation, and is part of the
Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program – Humanity and society
(WASP-HS). WASP-HS aims to realise excellent research and develop competence
on the consequences and challenges of artificial intelligence and autonomous
systems for the individual person and society. For more information about the
research and other activities conducted within WASP please visit .
**Research project**
The aim of the overall project is to investigate the impact of semi-autonomous
intelligent systems as digital companions and social actors on human activity
in order to inform the design and development of such systems. We will in
particular investigate the impact from the perspectives of purposeful
activity, social order and roles, motivation, empowerment, emotional wellbeing
and sustainable behaviour change for improving health in daily life. Problems
to be addressed include how systemic theories about human behaviour, emotions
and motivation can inform and advance the knowledge models, reasoning models
and automated learning of the digital companion, how can mechanisms for
collaboration and companionship be understood, designed and developed, and how
can the system collaborate with the human while balancing initiative,
autonomy, responsibility and conflicting goals.

Fully funded MSCA ITN PhD Position: User interface design: optimising
findability (ODECO ESR2) |
**Are you passionate about research with a societal impact? Do you want to be
part of an excellent, world-leading team of engaged open data researchers and
practitioners? Check out this position!**
This fully funded PhD position is part of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska
Curie ITN project entitled "ODECO: Towards a Sustainable Open Data ECOsystem"
(see [www.odeco-research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu/)). ODECO is a four-
year project involving 15 PhD projects covering each a specific part of the
open data ecosystem. The central aim of the ODECO consortium network is to
train the next generation of creative and innovative early stage open data
researchers, to unlock their creative and innovative potential to address
current and future challenges in the creation of user driven, circular and
inclusive open data ecosystems.
Current developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly
fragmented. Open data ecosystems are often developed in different domains in
isolation of each other and with little involvement of potential users,
resulting in approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for
users. This reduces innovation and the ability to create new valued added
goods and services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users
acting as a barrier to data sharing. Efforts are also uncoordinated in open
data training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are scant.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills and research experience.
The offered PhD position is to design user driven UIs for finding data that
fulfils different findability requirements from different domains (non-
professionals, data journalists, users in education, NGOs, government users,
commercial users, and data intermediaries between open data providers and
users). By reviewing UI designs and trends, testing different UI features, and
developing proof of concepts, this ESR project aims to:
* Explore the impact of UI choices and strategies in influencing the behaviour of data users in data portals.
* Promote data user groups’ contribution in the design of UI in data portals related to data findability.
* Develop tools and methods that help to implement a user-driven design of UI search tools for ODECO.
During the PhD, the candidate will conduct this research and prepare
scientific articles presenting the research at conferences and in journals. To
enable the candidate to do this successfully, University of Zaragoza offers
personal and professional training courses in the form of a graduate school,
in which the candidate will participate (the fee is paid by the project and
there are no additional costs for this). Furthermore, in addition to her/his
scientific supervisors, the applicant will receive an independent senior
researcher as mentor, to aid her/his personal career development.
As a Marie Curie ITN researcher, you will have the opportunity to conduct
practical internships at world leading universities and case studies at
excellent open data intermediaries (for example, ESRI) through the EU ITN
network. |

Open Early Stage Researcher/PhD Position in Artificial Intelligence:
Customized Interactive Argumentation Schemes for XAI |
**Reference number:** NL4XAI- ESR8
**PhD research topic:** Customized interactive argumentation schemes for XAI
**Objectives:** To define, design, develop and validate a new methodology for
argumentation schemes tailored for planning and handling the discourse history
in interactive conversational agents aimed at explaining AI in NL. The
customization will be achieved through the creation of a profile of the user
and then adaptation of argumentation to match this profile. This will involve
both the analysis and the representation of the use of argumentation in
natural communication in the specific genre, and the application of
Budzynska’s previous pioneering work on ethotic strategies in NL, i.e., on the
communicative behaviour dependent on the character of the speaker.
Main challenges are:
1. modelling context and common ground;
2. dealing with reference expressions;
3. implicit knowledge and embedded testimony;
4. empowering the conversational agent with credibility.
Theoretical contributions will be validated in **two use cases:**
1. explaining decision trees to non-expert users (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela- USC); and
2. a real use case defined in an inter-sectoral secondment (Accenture).
**Expected Results:**
1. Understanding of the state of the art in relevant aspects of argumentation theory and dialogue systems for XAI.
2. Analysis SWOT of existing argumentation schemes and their extensions (including ethotic extensions) for conversational agents.
3. Definition and implementation of a new protocol for handling profiles of users and the discourse history with explanation purposes.
4. Validation of this protocol in two use cases.
**Host institution:** Warsaw University of Technology - WUT (Poland)
**PhD Enrolment:** Warsaw University of Technology - WUT (Poland)
Politechnika Warszawska (Warsaw University of Technology, WUT) is a technical
research university with traditions in education dating back to the nineteenth

Fully funded MSCA ITN PhD Position: Technical aspects for inclusiveness across
user domains in data portals (ODECO ESR8) |
**Are you passionate about research with a societal impact? Do you want to be
part of an excellent, world-leading team of engaged open data researchers and
practitioners? Check out this position!**
This fully funded PhD position is part of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska
Curie ITN project entitled "ODECO: Towards a Sustainable Open Data ECOsystem"
(see [www.odeco-research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu/)). ODECO is a four-
year project involving 15 PhD projects covering each a specific part of the
open data ecosystem. The central aim of the ODECO consortium network is to
train the next generation of creative and innovative early stage open data
researchers, to unlock their creative and innovative potential to address
current and future challenges in the creation of user driven, circular and
inclusive open data ecosystems.
Current developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly
fragmented. Open data ecosystems are often developed in different domains in
isolation of each other and with little involvement of potential users,
resulting in approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for
users. This reduces innovation and the ability to create new valued added
goods and services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users
acting as a barrier to data sharing. Efforts are also uncoordinated in open
data training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are scant.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills and research experience.
The offered PhD position is to develop methods and tools that, from a
technological point of view, close the open data cycle by delivering
actionable feedback to open data publishers across user domains. By analysing
how open data initiatives have implemented their portals to date, the position
project aims to:
* Identify gaps and disservices derived from technical decisions taken in open data portals and open data initiatives related to technical interoperability that difficult closing the cycle, especially when different user domains are involved;
* Identify practices and technical decisions taken in open data portals and open data initiatives that have implemented or supported circularity measures and initiatives;
* Design of new methods to evaluate if the technical decisions that an open data portal implements, such as those related to the technical interoperability, may harm the degree of circularity of the portal (especially when the portal must satisfy multiple user groups from different domains whose requirements can be mutually exclusive);
* Develop tools that deliver actionable feedback to open data publishers based on the use of open data across user domains.
During the PhD, the candidate will conduct this research and prepare
scientific articles presenting the research at conferences and in journals. To
enable the candidate to do this successfully, University of Zaragoza offers
personal and professional training courses in the form of a graduate school,
in which the candidate will participate (the fee is paid by the project and
there are no additional costs for this). Furthermore, in addition to her/his
scientific supervisors, the applicant will receive an independent senior
researcher as mentor, to aid her/his personal career development. |

In April 2021, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) received the renewal of
the ['HR Excellence in Research](https://www.crg.eu/en/content/careers/hr-
excellence-research)' Award from the European Commission. This is a
recognition of the Institute's commitment to developing an HR Strategy for
Researchers, designed to bring the practices and procedures in line with the
principles of the [European Charter for
Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/european-charter) and

Code).
[Please, check out our Recruitment
Policy](https://www.crg.eu/sites/default/files/crg/p-hr-004-crg_recruitment_policy_v1.1.pdf)
The role
We are looking for a technician with a strong interest in scientific software
development to join the FoldX () team. The
technician will contribute to the development and unit testing of different
modules and will be in charge of multiplatform compilation, maintenance,
version controlling, updating web documentation and release of the different
packages hosted in the lab. He will have to work in a flexible and
collaborative project where communication with the members of the team is
highly appreciated.
About the lab
The design of biological systems group is aiming at a quantitative
understanding of biological systems to an extent that one is able to predict
systemic features and with the hope to rational design and modify their
behavior. This applies to any system comprising biological components that is
more than the mere sum of its components, or, in other words, the addition of
the individual components results in systemic properties that could not be
predicted by considering the components individually. By achieving this
objective, we are aiming at new global understanding and treatment of human
diseases in which the target will not be a single molecule but a network.
For this purpose in the group it is developed on one hand new software and
theoretical approximations to understand complex systems and on the other they
do experiments to validate our predictions.
You can find more information about the group and their research projects on

Call for a Doctoral Scholarship
funded by the National Science Center as part of the project „The functional
genomic studies of resveratrol, curcumin, and similar antioxidant
phytochemicals.” no 2020/37/B/NZ2/03525
Description of tasks:
Resveratrol, curcumin, and related antioxidant phytochemicals with phenolic
groups have preventive and therapeutic effects with respect to cancer. These
effects can be studied using the ultra-modern tools of transcriptomics, as the
phytochemicals induce global alterations in gene expression profiles. In
particular, resveratrol and curcumin can induce transcription of genes related
to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in cancer cells cultured in vitro. Dr.
Huminiecki — the principal investigator (PI) on the project — will start with
a computational re-analysis of public transcriptomics datasets available for
curcumin, resveratrol, and similar phytochemicals. Next, the PI and the PhD
student will together conduct experiments to generate new transcriptomics
datasets, from either normal or cancer cells treated with the phytochemicals.
Our experiments and datasets will focus on dose escalation, time-courses,
splicing, and alternative transcriptional start sites, as well as non-coding
RNAs, which is a novel approach. We will also compare responses in p53 wild
type versus p53-mutated cell lines to differentiate between different
mechanisms of apoptosis. The studentship is funded by a grant from the
prestigious Polish National Science Center — NCN, which guarantees a safe
project, good education, and enjoyable working environment. (Moreover, the PhD
position will be advertised and filled according to all professional rules,
the standards of professional conduct, and legal regulations of the hosting
Institute and NCN.)
Responsibilities in the project:
The PhD student will work and study in the area of functional genomics. In
particular, the student will conduct experimental tasks associated with in
vitro cell culture and transcriptomics. These will include routine tissue
culture, the isolation of RNA, the set up of qPCR, as well as microarray and
RNA-seq screens. The student will communicate with commercial providers of
cells, reagents, and NGS services. The student will also undertake
postgraduate coursework in statistics and bioinformatics, and go through
routine safety introductions and PhD courses at the Institute. The student
will acquire a set of skills that is transferable and highly sought after
internationally: guaranteeing good career prospects after the completion of
the course, either in academia or in industry. |

Senior (PhD) Postdoctoral position in the field of molecular oncology and
liquid biopsy |
A Senior (PhD) Postdoctoral position in the field of molecular oncology and
liquid biopsy is available in the laboratory of Dr Iñaki Comino-Méndez at The
Institute of Biomedical Research in Malaga (IBIMA) – “Virgen de la Victoria”
Hospital (Medical Oncology Unit).
The overarching goal in the Comino-Méndez´s Lab is to investigate the clinical
validity and utility of circulating tumour components in the clinical
management of cancer patients. The laboratory explores how to detect,
characterize and combine the different tumour materials in blood such as
circulating-tumour DNA (ctDNA), circulating-tumour cells (CTCs) and exosomes
to define tumour molecular profiles, to study tumour response to treatments as
well as to detect residual disease before the relapse is clinically
detectable. To fulfil the research objectives, cutting-edge next-generation
sequencing (NGS) technologies are applied for uncovering the individual
tumour-specific transcriptomics and genomics, combining them, to finally
reveal the real clinical utility of liquid biopsy.
We seek a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate to investigate in the
liquid biopsy field to improve cancer patient´s management. The candidate will
employ NGS technologies including capture and amplification methodologies as
well as RNA sequencing also applied in the single-cancer-cell perspective. The
candidate will also actively participate in important national and
international clinical trials/consortiums involving cancer patients and liquid
biopsy. |

Operating V2x with Grid-Forming control using high-power SiC reversible
Automotive battery charger |
**Scientific context:** Due to CO2 saving energy policies, the electricity
production system has been moving towards a decentralized scheme, with more
and more low-power production means distributed on the territory (wind or
solar power plants). For this new power system, the stability problem is no
longer the exclusive responsibility of a limited number of large power plants
using high power synchronous rotating machines as generators. Now, any active-
source or -load, connected to the grid with help of a Power-Electronics (PE)
converter, has the ability to improve or damage overall stability of the grid.
In this context, H2020 European project MIGRATE (
) assessed the operating rules of a
hypothetical 100% Power-Electronics grid. Since MIGRATE project, L2EP Power-
System team has been recognized as an international expert in Power-Electrics
control, especially when the converter offers stability services to the power
system. “Grid-Forming” control theory was born from this context. In parallel,
recent research, about carbon-constrained power-system and about
electrification of the automotive powertrain, have identified the energy
stored in automotive batteries as an opportunity to cover several technical
challenges. First, for the power system operators, this energy could be used
to operate grid ancillary services such as: Frequency containment support,
voltage support, grid congestion prevention, or even to respond to the
problematic of renewable energy production intermittency. Then, Automotive
industry defines new V2X operating modes when the electric car becomes an
energy source: Vehicle2Grid if offering ancillary services when connected to
to the grid, or Vehicle2Load, Vehicle2Home, Vehicle2Building, Vehicle2Vehicle,
in islanded conditions (disconnected from the grid). As far as Power-
Electronics is concerned, these two classifications lie on the same technical
paradigm: The PE converter must be able to transfer energy in reversible ways
of conversion (from the grid to the battery or reversely).
**Job mission:** In this context, the Automotive electrification supplier
Valeo-Siemens is developing a new range of reversible battery chargers,
embedding SiC wide bandgap semiconductors. To take the whole benefit of the
Power- Electronics converters, new control laws are required, especially in
reversible energy transfer conditions. This job is proposed in the context or
a collaboration between Valeo-Siemens and the L2EP, carried out within the
framework of a European project about SiC technology development. The mission
consists in developing and integrating the software control laws into the
reversible battery charger designed by Valeo-Siemens, focusing on V2X
operating modes. The method consists in: First, to learn in a simulation
environment (Matlab Simulink) the grid-forming control technics developed at
the L2EP. Then, to rework these control technics to cover the Automotive
charger functional requirements. At last, experimental validations will be
held at L2EP experimental platform ( ), on Valeo-
Siemens charger prototype. |

Fully funded PhD Position in Paris on Open Data Licensing |
_Are you passionate about legal research with a societal impact?_
_Do you want to be part of an excellent, world-leading interdisciplinary team
of engaged open data researchers and practitioners based in the European
Union?_
_Check out this PhD position in a unique cross-sector training environment._
This fully funded PhD position is part of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska
Curie ITN project entitled "ODECO: Towards a Sustainable Open Data ECOsystem"
(see [www.odeco-research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu)). ODECO is a four-
year project involving 15 PhD projects covering each a specific part of the
open data ecosystem. The central aim of the ODECO consortium network is to
train the next generation of creative and innovative early stage open data
researchers, to unlock their creative and innovative potential to address
current and future challenges in the creation of user driven, circular and
inclusive open data ecosystems.
Current developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly
fragmented. Open data ecosystems are often developed in different domains in
isolation of each other and with little involvement of potential users,
resulting in approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for
users. This reduces innovation and the ability to create new valued added
goods and services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users
acting as a barrier to data sharing. Efforts are also uncoordinated in open
data training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are scant.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early-stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills and research experience.
The offered PhD position on “Open Licensing of Non-Government Data” is to
design new legal instruments to include private actors as producers and
sharers of (open) data and data generated by private companies and users on
private platforms, by:
\- Investigating from a legal perspective novel value distribution and
incentive mechanisms and design how a new sustainable distribution of value in
the open data ecosystem may be implemented in licenses based on alternative
values defined in collaboration with other PhDs and members of the ODECO
project teams working in other disciplines.
\- Investigating whether commons-based approaches can be developed to openly
license commercial data and data volunteered by citizens on public, commons,
and private platforms, and ported from other environments (e.g., medical and
microbial commons, data pools).
\- Exploring legal mechanisms that will facilitate and incentivise the release
of non-government data as open data in open data commons, data pools or data
collaboratives) as well as private and user-generated data contributed to
public and private platforms (e.g., social media).
\- Ensuring compatibility between commercial, and individual (data protection,
privacy and sharing) interests.
During the PhD, the candidate will conduct this research, prepare scientific
articles presenting the research at conferences and in journals, and
contribute to deliverables of the project with the project team.
To enable the candidate to do this successfully, the candidate will be
supervised by Professor Lucie Cluzel-Metayer at the University Paris Nanterre
Center for Research on Public Law (CRDP, see
), and Dr. Mélanie Dulong de Rosnay at the
CNRS Center for Internet and Society (CIS, see ).
This is a joint appointment: the candidate will be enrolled at University
Paris Nanterre doctoral law school which will deliver the PhD degree, and be
part of the CIS team at CNRS which will provide a full-time employment
contract.
In addition to academic co-supervision, the candidate will be enrolled in the
University of Paris Nanterre doctoral law school programme activities, with
conferences and personal and professional training courses with other PhD
candidates in law.
The candidate will take part to the ODECO interdisciplinary training
activities with the other teams including 14 other PhD candidates of the
project, and benefit from a career development plan.
The candidate will work in an environment allowing mentoring as a full member
of the CIS team, hosted in a CNRS shared office in Paris 17ème arrondissement
with colleagues in sociology of technology involved in French-based, European
and international projects (among others: a lab on open science pioneered by
the Minister of Research, the SoBigData++ H2020 project) and hosting a network
of 350 researchers working in the Internet and Society field, including
working groups on open science and digital commons policy.
As a Marie Curie ITN researcher, the candidate will have the opportunity to
conduct practical internships at universities and case studies at excellent
open data intermediaries through the EU ITN network, in your case, at the
University of Delft co-supervised by Prof. Ploeger and at Doctrine, a French-
based legaltech company).
Contract duration: 36 months
Monthly gross salary: 3452 euros + 600 euros of Marie Curie mobility + 500
euros if the candidate has family dependants.
About 3400 euros net after taxes, up to about 4000 euros if the candidate has
family dependants. |

The host laboratory will be the Laboratoire d'Ethnologie et de Sociologie
Comparative. The LESC is a joint research unit of the CNRS and the University
of Paris Nanterre (UMR 7186). This comparative research centre was founded by
Éric-de-Dampierre in 1967. Its main location is the Maison des Sciences de
l'Homme Mondes (building René-Ginouvès), while its two specialised centres,
the CREM (Centre for Research in Ethnomusicology) and EREA (Teaching and
Research in Amerinidan Ethnology) have been housed on campus in the Max Weber
building since 2016.
Since its establishement, the laboratory has combined research and teaching.
Teaching, in the bachelor's and master's programs, is managed by the
unversity's Department of Anthropology. PhD research training takes place in
the Doctoral School "Environments, Cultures, and Societies of the Past and
Present." Researchers' and professors' involvement in teaching, and student
participation in research and other laboratory avtivities together ensure that
research and teaching remain integrated.
The laboratory's research library Éric-de-Dampierre Library contains several
private, printed collections as well as scientific arhival collections.
Currently, the library is in the process of digitzing and enhancing its
archives. With the Laboratory of Social Anthropology's library, Éric-de-
Dampierre is a founding member of two library networks, the Ethnology Network
and the Network of Ethnologists' Archives, which, since 1999, regularly hold
conferences and field studies.
The LESC also has a publication service, which edits its electronic,
generalist anthropology review, Ateliers d'anthropologie, as well as
monographs and collective works.
The candidate will be attached to the EREA centre.
The doctoral contract will be under the dual supervision of the CNRS and the
CEMCA.
The Centre for Mexican and Central American Studies (CEMCA) is a French
scientific institution supporting research in the humanities and social
sciences. It is part of the international network of 27 mixed units of French
research institutes abroad (UMIFRE). It depends jointly on the Ministry of
Europe and Foreign Affairs (MEAE), the National Centre for Scientific Research
(CNRS) and since 2020 on the University of Paris. The Centre for Mexican and
Central American Studies (CEMCA) has its origins in the French Archaeological
and Ethnological Mission to Mexico (MAEFM), which was set up in 1961. It is a
pluridisciplinary center which hosts research projets mainly social sciences
and humanities. Its headquarters are in Mexico City and it has a branch in
Guatemala City. Its research fields are located in Mexico and Central America
(website: ). The
current director of CEMCA is Bernard Tallet
([bernard.tallet@cemca.org.mx](mailto:bernard.tallet@cemca.org.mx)). Ms Maya
Collombon will succeed him in September 2021.
The thesis will be co-directed by :
-Valentina Vapnarsky, director of research at the CNRS, linguistic anthropologist, specialized on the Maya and Mesoamerica, with works in the fields of rituality and religion. (web page: )
-Sylvie Pédron Colombani, lecturer at the University of Paris Nanterre, deputy director of the sociology department. Her work focuses on religious phenomena in Central America. She is the author of the book Le Pentecôtisme au Guatemala. Conversion et identité, Paris, C.N.R.S. Éditions, 1998. (See her page: )
"Evangelical movements and confessionalization of politics in Mesoamerica"
The doctoral research project will address the question of the relationship
between evangelism and politics in Mesoamerica (Central America and/or
Mexico). The aim will be to analyse contemporary changes in Latin America by
questioning the links between the rise of evangelicalism in Latin America and
the mutations of the political scene in the region. Since the 1990s,
evangelical sectors of society have played a significant and growing role in
election campaigns, both financially and in terms of voter mobilisation. In
Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala and Costa Rica, not only are new evangelical
actors and faith-based parties entering the political arena - Brazil, for
example, has an 'evangelical bench' in parliament - but in several of these
countries, proclaimed evangelicals have won or finished second in elections.
Based on this observation, confessional parties, the ideology they carry and
their electoral practices should be thoroughly examined. These parties and
their members raise central questions about the modes of recruitment and
ascension of political staff, the weight of confessional networks and the
factional struggles within them, as well as their greater or lesser proximity
to corporatist logics and usual clientelistic practices. In countries where
political clientelism is undermined by urbanisation and the spread of the
language of rights, where state corporatism is undermined by demands for
democracy, a study of evangelical activism and voting will contribute to a
detailed understanding of the mutations of the political link, proselytism and
corporatism in Latin America. Far from constituting a homogeneous block, the
evangelical movement presents an internal diversity that must be taken into
account.
It will also be important to observe the ways in which Protestant conversions
affect family solidarities and village sociabilities at the local level. In
this sense, it will be necessary to question the existing links between
religious and political conversions, and to examine their connections with the
deeper movement of individuation that tends to redefine the relations of
kinship, neighbourhood and patronage in Latin America.
Moreover, evangelical movements do not only involve a remodelling of family or
village sociability, but also imply a new relationship to knowledge and
entrepreneurship. Often inspired by a fashionable theology of prosperity, many
Protestant churches legitimise new entrepreneurial habits which, in turn,
reshape the figures of the political and religious leader and root them in an
economic world in rapid transformation. Moreover, Mesoamerican Protestantisms
are inserted in global networks and transnational circulations that constantly
redefine the identities of their followers. Hence the interest in examining
the role of these milieus in the redefinition of the imaginary and of
political images in Latin America.
While the project will be open to the intersection of various survey
methodologies, ranging from electoral analysis to archival studies, it will be
reinforced by ethnographic work based on immersion and field observation.
To address this topic, the candidate will have to anchor her/his research in a
Central American country. Guatemala appears as an especially relevant location
given the strong evangelical presence in the country and the major political
issues at stake. But other areas are also possible. A comparison between two
situations can also be envisaged. |

Assistant professor in large-scale photonic circuits for quantum information
processing and quantum computing |
Disruptive Computing Engines will enable revolutionary developments in science
and society that require far greater and more efficient computing power than
currently available. For instance, while future quantum computers promise to
solve problems that are intractable for even today's most powerful
supercomputers, small and intermediate-scale quantum processors can already
run small quantum algorithms. As another example, neuromorphic computing will
be orders of magnitude more energy-efficient, as necessary for applications
such as edge AI and personalised medicine.
The mission of TU Delft’s Quantum and Computer Engineering (QCE) department is
to invent, design, prototype and demonstrate the potential of disruptive
computing engines by harnessing unique features of emerging devices, e.g.,
qubits, memristors, spintronics, and graphene. Building such computing engines
requires a full-stack interdisciplinary approach, encompassing fabrication and
operation of qubits, electronic circuit design, micro-architecture,
programming models, compilers and simulator platforms.
QCE's research encompasses a broad range of applications, integrating multiple
layers of the stack:
* The computing and network architecture, including AI-oriented architectures, quantum architectures, neuromorphic architectures, computation-in-memory architectures, big-data architectures and secure architectures.
* The interface to the technology, including cryo-CMOS circuit design, memristive-based and graphene-based circuit design, and test and reliability of integrated circuits.
* Related programming and support flow such as compilers, mapping tools and simulators.
To make quantum computing a reality, QCE is collaborating with QuTech, the
worldwide leading research centre on Quantum Technology, Computing and
Internet founded by TU Delft and the Netherlands Organisation for Applied
Scientific Research (TNO). Together, they are working intensively on
developing, designing and prototyping scalable quantum computing engines based
on different quantum technologies. Such technologies include superconducting
qubits, spin-based qubits, Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centres in diamond and
topological qubits.
QCE is inviting applications for an assistant professor in large-scale
photonic circuits for quantum information processing and quantum computing. In
this position, you will focus on the development of large-scale photonic
circuits for color centres in diamonds as essential parts of quantum computing
engines. The research is envisaged to include topics such as:
* Single-photon detector array
* On-chip cryogenic optical switches
* Design, fabrication and characterisation of photonic circuits for quantum information processing
* Large-scale photonic circuits for machine learning
You will also collaborate on circuits, architectures and compilers for other
emerging computing platforms and actively participate in multidisciplinary
collaboration with colleagues within QCE as well as within QuTech, QuTech's
Quantum Internet division and the QuTech-Fujitsu partnership.
In this role, you will contribute to developing and teaching nanoelectronics
and photonics courses and educational programmes at BSc and MSc level. |

Postdoctoral Reseach Fellow |
## Postdoctoral Research Fellow position
There is a vacancy for the position of postdoctoral research fellow at the
Department of Social Anthropology, as a part of the project "Technoscientific
Immortality: A study of Human Futures”, which is funded by the Research
Council of Norway’s Program for Groundbreaking Research, running from 2021
until 2025. The position is for a period of three years.
We are looking for a creative, independent, and ambitious junior researcher
who wants to contribute to a dynamic research program that addresses core
issues in contemporary anthropology of the future.
## About the project/work tasks:
“Technoscientific Immortality: A study of Human Futures” (Immortality)
examines changing conceptions of the human being, mortality, and social
relations in an increasingly technologically advanced world. Technological
innovation in human-computer interfaces, medical breakthroughs in
biotechnology, and an emerging notion that ageing is a disease seem to
seriously challenge established understandings of what a human being is or
might be. Based on comparative ethnographies from seven different case studies
in the US and Russia this project will investigate the socio-cultural
foundations for, and effects of, the increasing interest in new forms of
immortality (as “living on” in AI, “mind upload/transfer, cryonics etc.)
through techno-scientific developments. In particular the project will
investigate the way in which immortality-thinking forms, and transforms,
social relations in general and kinship relations in particular.
The postdoctoral research fellow will have a primary responsibility for case
study 2 in the research agenda of Immortality, entitled “Cryonics in the US”.
This research task is summarized as follows:
This is an ethnographic study of Cryonics, in the US, where the ideology and
organizational infrastructure of this form of transhumanism and immortality
projects are most developed. In the United States, cryonics had its beginnings
with the works of Robert Ettinger who in 1964 popularized the idea of freezing
the body or the brain in order to be reanimated when technological
advancements would allow restoration and rejuvenation of damaged tissues.
Several organizations in the US offer cryonic emergency services, but only a
few institutions are active in research, and world-wide currently only three
institutions (two located in the US and one in Russia) offer long-term
cryogenic suspension of human ‘patients´. The two largest US cryonics
institutes claim to hold approximately 300 human subjects in suspension, and
the postdoc will locate the research efforts to one of these facilities. We
welcome project descriptions that can expand on the key topics of the
Immortality project; how new techno-scientific immortality forms have effects
on, but also formed by, perceptions of the social: How are social relations
formed and transformed in the context of cryonics and technoscientific forms
of immortality?
Applicants are requested to develop a research proposal including descriptions
of fieldwork and timeline, that addresses these dimensions of research
outlined for case study 2, and that relates the research to the overall
information on the project available at
## Qualifications and personal qualities:
* The applicants must hold a PhD, or must have submitted his/her doctoral thesis for assessment prior to the application deadline, in anthropology or similar (candidates with PhD’s in studies of religion, sociology, Science and Technology Studies (STS) or similar disciplines may also be considered if they can demonstrate skills in ethnographic research).

Postdoc on Digital Platforms and Ecosystems Innovation Dynamics |
Copenhagen Business School, as part of a new initiative to launch a European
research network to foster multidisciplinary research on the digital economy,
invites applications for a postdoc position at the Department of Strategy and
Innovation. Expected starting date is 1 December 2021.
The Department of Strategy and Innovation has an emphasis on Strategy and
Innovation, as well as on Entrepreneurship and International Business. The
four areas are the pillars that the department is resting on in its teaching
and research activities. The number of staff in the department is
approximately 90. This includes about 50 faculty members (professors,
associate professors, tenure track assistant professors), 7 administrative
staff members, and 30 members of staff who are hired on temporary contracts as
research assistants, post docs or PhD students.
The department’s ambition is to host an internationally leading environment
for research and teaching in strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, and
international business. The theoretical foundation for research in these areas
is eclectic, combining strategy and/or internationalization theory with
insights from economics, sociology, psychology, and economic geography.
Methodologically, the department places considerable emphasis on the solid
application of empirical methods, featuring econometric analysis, digital
trace data, experiments, surveys, qualitative interview studies, or (field)
experiments. Faculty members have published in top academic journals including
the Academy of Management Journal, Strategic Management Journal, Organization
Science, Management Science, Academy of Management Review, Journal of
International Business Studies, Research Policy, among others.
The postdoc position is time-limited to 1.5 years and connected to the
research network initiative led by Professor Carmelo Cennamo. The postdoctoral
fellow will join a dynamic and soon growing group of researchers connected to
the initiative and be involved in the related research program under the
direction of Professor Carmelo Cennamo. The postdoctoral fellow will have the
opportunity to work with other CBS faculty members directly involved with the
initiative, including professor Jorg Claussen, Tom Grad, and Ioanna
Constantiou, as well as the opportunity to interact with network affiliate
external to the CBS, through workshops and joint research initiatives. The
focus of the network, and related research, is on digital technologies and
platform markets, and the role that data and ecosystems have on value creation
and competition dynamics, and new organizing forms, and the implications for
society.
**The research program investigates topics such as:**
* How does digital platform design affect user behaviors and outcomes?
* How do complementors compete within and across digital ecosystems?
* How do ecosystems compete?
* What is the role of data and algorithms in steering interactions and value in platform markets and ecosystems (exploiting or correcting consumer behavioral biases)?
* Are data exclusionary or non-rivalry? How do they affect a firm’s competitive advantage in (platform) digital markets?
* How does data enable value creation (for organizations and their stakeholder)?
* How to organize the effective and efficient creation, sharing and usage of data in digital ecosystems?
The analysis will mostly rely on empirical, econometric methods, namely on the
analysis of large-scale macro and microdata sets.
The ideal candidate for the position will be a recent PhD graduate with a deep
interest in this domain who can develop and conduct research projects in
autonomy and together with the affiliated faculty and support the
establishment and development of the research network initiative. Strong

PhD Student - Atomic Manipulation and Spectroscopy Group |
The mission of the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2)
is to achieve the highest level of scientific and technological excellence in
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Its research lines focus on the newly-
discovered physical and chemical properties that arise from the behavior of
matter at the nanoscale. ICN2 has been awarded with the Severo Ochoa Center of
Excellence distinction for two consecutive periods (2014-2018 and 2018-2022).
ICN2 comprises 19 Research Groups, 7 Technical Development and Support Units
and Facilities, and 2 Research Platforms, covering different areas of
nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Job Title: PhD Student
Research area or group: Atomic Manipulation and Spectroscopy Group
Description of Group/Project:
Graphene-based nanoarchitectures as quantum platforms: The last decade has
witnessed impressive advances in the bottom-up synthesis of graphene-based
nanostructures. The case of 1D graphene nanoribbons is an illustrative one,
where all structural parameters (width, edge structure, doping,
functionalization) can be controlled with atomic precision. Our group has
recently brought this atomic control to 2D with the demonstration of the
synthesis of a nanoporous graphene (Moreno et al. Science 360, 199, 2018). The
nanomaterial, selected as “molecule of the year” by the American Chemical
Society, and the demonstration of field-effect transistor made by this
semiconducting graphene, was highlighted in the main scientific journals
(Science Perspectives, Nature Electronics, Chemical Engineering & News, IEEE
Spectrum, Nano Today). In this project we intend to bring this approach to the
next level, by fusing GNRs with active quantum components (single spins,
single photon emitters) in lateral heterostructures, in order to address them
(read, manipulate) with electrical currents along the GNRs channels. The
project will tackle the synthesis of the hybrid nanoarchitectures, the
characterization of the atomic and electronic structure, and the realization
and characterization of gate-modulated devices.
Main Tasks and responsibilities:
The researcher will tackle the on-surface synthesis of the hybrid
nanoarchitectures, the characterization of the atomic and electronic structure
by low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS),
and the realization and characterization of gate-modulated devices. She/He
will design experiments together with the supervisor, analyze data and write
reports and drafts for publications.
Requirements:
* Education:
BsC in Physics or Nanoscience and Master in related topic
* Knowledge and professional experience:
Background on quantum electronic phenomena, and preferably some experience in
surface science, low dimensional materials, and ultra-high vacuum.

Post-doctoral position - Recruitment No 29/2021 |
Post-doc position available in the Institute of Physical Chemistry PAS within
National Science Center (NSC) Opus 2019/35/B/ST5/03229 entitled “Dynamic and
responsive Langmuir-Blodgett films” (leader dr Jan Paczesny).
The limitation of equilibrium self-assembly (ESA) is that for a given set of
thermodynamic parameters, the system will evolve to the equilibrium state at
which it will then persist – that is, ESA evolves components into stable,
ordered structures, of which crystals are perhaps most representative. On the
other hand, conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium preclude self-assembly at
steady-states, at which order is maintained at the cost of externally
delivered energy (which is, in part, dissipated to produce entropy). In fact,
all organisms consume and dissipate externally delivered energy (in the form
of food or radiation) to power their internal operation and to maintain order.
Moreover, depending on the incoming flux of energy, these organisms can
reconfigure to perform different functions. These properties illustrate well
the promise of self-assembly outside of equilibrium – the so-called dynamic
self-assembly, DySA – as means to create life-like, reconfigurable, and
“intelligent” materials and systems. The study of DySA is a relatively new
area of research with the name itself proposed only in the 2000 Nature paper
by Grzybowski, Stone and Whitesides. However DySA in Langmuir and Langmuir-
Blodgett films remains unexplored field having several publications within the
topic. Dynamic changes within Langmuir films directly at the air/water
interface are usually imposed only due to the mechanical compression. Adding
new layer of complexity to the system might open completely new applications
for this well-established methods. |

PhD in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics |
Recent developments in deep learning (DL) are putting a lot of pressure and
pushing the demand for intelligent edge devices capable of on-site learning.
The realization of such systems is, however, a massive challenge due to the
limited resources available in an embedded context and the massive training
costs for state-of-the-art deep neural networks (DNNs). In order to realize
the full potential of deep learning, it is imperative to improve existing
network training methodologies and the hardware being used. In the context of
the upcoming LeanAI project, funded through the Labex CominLabs initiative, we
are looking for an excellent PhD candidate to work on these problems. We will
be focusing on both the arithmetic and algorithmic levels with the end goal of
designing new mixed numerical precision hardware architectures for DNN
training that are at the same time more energy-efficient and capable of
improved performance in a resource-restricted environment. The expected
outcomes include new mixed-precision algorithms for neural network training,
together with open-source tools for hardware and software training
acceleration at the arithmetic level on edge devices.
Such tools are important to help democratize access to AI technologies. The
PhD candidate will work on the algorithmic/optimization aspects of
reduced/mixed precision DNN training. A starting point will be the
investigation of gradient-based backpropagation methods and the development of
mixed-precision variants, with a main focus of using dynamic and adaptive
number format precision choices in order to enhance energy efficiency [9, 10].
In a second stage, the candidate will also study alternative training
strategies in a dynamic/mixed precision context that might show enhanced
convergence guarantees and/or are more tolerant to low precision numerical
effects. In particular, we will study and develop dynamic mixed-precision
methods based on second-order optimization algorithms [11] and on hierarchical
neural network modelling [3].
An important aspect will be the efficient implementation and the practical
evaluation, through extensive experiments and analysis of the new mixed-
precision training algorithms and HW operators/accelerators, respectively. A
crucial brick in this edifice will be the development of a mixed-precision
training simulation framework (we intend it to be an extension to PyTorch)
that supports an exhaustive list of number formats and numerical precisions.
The main programming languages will therefore be Python (for coding the
interface of the framework and performing of experiments with the developed
algorithms) and C++ (for adding support to PyTorch for the number formats and
precisions we will explore). Informal inquiries are strongly encouraged and
the interested candidates can contact any member of the project for additional
details and information. Applications are accepted until the position is
filled.
The application should be sent by email to Silviu Filip
([silviu.filip@inria.fr](mailto:silviu.filip@inria.fr)), Anastasia Volkova
([anastasia.volkova@univ-nantes.fr](mailto:anastasia.volkova@univ-nantes.fr))
and Elisa Riccetti ([elisa.riccietti@ens-lyon.fr](mailto:elisa.riccietti@ens-
lyon.fr)) and it should include:
• motivation letter
• CV
• transcripts for the courses of the last two years of study
• contact information of two references (title, name, organization, e-mail)

Post-Doctoral position in embedded Signal Processing |
The PICSONDE project, carried out by the partnership within the Laboratory for
Analysis and Architecture of Systems (LAAS), Toulouse and ESEO, Angers,
proposes an innovative cost-efficient real-time embedded optical system-on-
chip (SoC) vibrometers based on optical feedback interferometry (OFI), for in-
situ measurements.
In this framework, we seek to appoint a post-doctoral researcher with
experience in Real-Time signal processing for embedded systems to integrate
the Group Signal, Image, Instrumentation ([www.gsii.fr](http://www.gsii.fr))
at ESEO school of engineering in Angers – France.
**Context**
The major challenge of predictive maintenance is to provide correct
estimations of the material/structure degradation state of an equipment. Many
studies conducted in this context aim to offer low-cost non-invasive
techniques to prevent or reduce critical failures by proposing a schedule for
parts replacements, thereby achieving cost savings. These techniques mostly
involve optical observations, as well as vibrations, sound and electrical
analysis. PICSONDE particularly focuses on vibration testing, also known as
Experimental Modal Analysis, which is widely used to monitor and investigate
the response of the equipment structure during operation, and represents
roughly 70 to 80% of the current market of predictive maintenance equipment.
Sensors typically used to capture vibration information include piezoelectric
and MEMS-based accelerometers that can achieve a few tens μg/√Hz noise levels
at low cost. However, though accelerometers are inherently capable of
relatively large bandwidth (up to a few kHz), they are not strictly non-
intrusive especially for small machines where their own mass may impact the
vibration behaviour. Contactless techniques, like interferometry, present
drastic competitive advantages to monitor small machines and probe critical
measurement points in harsh environment, such as high temperatures, or in
hard-to-reach locations. Furthermore, measuring displacements, instead of
accelerations, leads to much higher precision in the very low frequency domain
that is of particular interest for low-speed machines like wind turbines.
**Description of the position**
This post-doctoral position will mainly be focused on implementing algorithm
to process Optical Feedback Interferometry (OFI) signals in order to retrieve
the target displacement with high resolution, high precision and wide
bandwidth. The targeted noise power spectrum density is 0.1 pm/√Hz for a
bandwidth greater than 20 kHz.
The main tasks of this post-doctoral position (not limited to):
* Robust detection of OFI fringes in the presence of speckle
* Optical feedback factor C tracking and estimation in the presence of speckle
* OFI phase unwrapping based on non-uniform sampling (NUS) techniques and/or machine learning techniques
* Efficient interpolation method (for NUS)
* Embedded signal processing on an FPGA for real-time processing
About the Signal Image and Instrumentation research group (GSII)
Within the ESEO, the Signal, Image and Instrumentation team (GSII) is a
research group active at international level in the fields of electronics,
signal and image processing, instrumentation, and embedded systems with main
focus on Biomedical, Geophysics and Non Destructive Testing (NDT)
applications. Other fields on interests involve Data Mining and Machine
Learning, with recent extensions to Artificial Intelligence.
Keywords
Embedded digital signal processing, FPGA, System-on-a-Chip, (SoC), optical
sensing.
Location
ESEO school of engineering, Angers with possible short missions at LAAS,

Post-doctoral Researcher in Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry |
_The[Engineering of Molecular NanoSystems
laboratory](https://emns.polytech.ulb.be) of the [Université libre de
Bruxelles](https://www.ulb.be/) (ULB) offers a two-year postdoctoral
fellowship for a highly motivated organic chemist to work on the synthesis and
development of supramolecular receptors for organophosphates and nucleotides._
**Project**
This fellowship is offered in the context of a project funded by the European
Research Council (ERC) aimed at the development of molecular transmembrane
transporters for phosphorylated biomolecules.
Biological membranes function as impermeable barriers for ionic and
hydrophilic species, which can only cross the membrane with the aid of
dedicated membrane proteins. Alternatively, synthetic organic compounds can be
designed to transport ions of interest across lipid bilayer membranes. These
carriers need to bind the ion in order to extract it from the aqueous phase
into the bilayer, to then move across the membrane and to release the ion on
the other side.
The aim of the project is to develop synthetic anion receptors that are able
to bind biologically relevant phosphorylated compounds, such as nucleotides.
Subsequently, the ability of these receptors to transport phosphates and
nucleotides across membranes will be investigated.
**Job description**
The successful applicant will join the team of Dr. Hennie Valkenier to
primarily work on the design and synthesis of receptors for phosphoryl groups
and nucleotides. This involves the preparation of building blocks and their
subsequent assembly into receptors using classical organic synthesis and
dynamic combinatorial library (DCL) approaches. The interactions between the
synthesised receptors and phosphorylated guests will be investigated using
various physicochemical methods including NMR, microcalorimetry, and optical
spectroscopy.
The successful applicant will work closely together with another postdoc
(focussing on transmembrane transport methodology) and with the PhD and Master
students in the team. English and French are the main languages spoken in the
laboratory, but all results will be disseminated in English (presentations,
written reports, and articles). Participation in international conferences
will be encouraged. |

POST DOCTORAL POSITION - Understand and characterize the bio-electromagnetic
field generated by the heart in normal and deseased conditions |
CONTEXT
Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of adult mortality in the world
accounting for 29% of deaths. Cardiac-specific diseases are responsible for
about 20% of adult mortality , half due to heart failure, and half occurring
suddenly (SCD), mostly due to electrical disturbances (VT/VF). Despite major
improvements in therapy over the past 30 years, the majority of individuals
dying from SCD cannot currently be identified pre-emptively and prevention can
be offered to only limited groups by ICD implantation.
Despite recent advances in unravelling the arrhythmia mechanisms, current
approaches (based on electrical recordings of the heart) remain insensitive to
the specific arrhythmogenic signals. The magnetic field associated with
cardiac electrical activity does not suffer from the same limitations and has
been assessed in detection of cardiac ischemia and conduction abnormalities.
OBJECTIVES
This post-doctoral research project is focused on the analysis of the magnetic
field emitted by the heart under normal and diseased conditions. The first
objective is to develop the software and signal processing tools needed to
record and visualize the heart activity. The second objective is to identify
features specific to ventricular diseases with the aim to develop risk-
stratification tools.
LABORATORY
The project is a collaborative work between the Liryc institute and the CEA-
Leti laboratory. The Liryc institute (Bordeaux, FR) is a unique institute
exclusively dedicated to the 'electrical heart' bringing together 150
scientists, physicians, and engineers from 18 countries. CEA-Leti (Grenoble,
FR) has unique expertise in the design of instruments for magnetic field
recordings and has extensive experience in magnetoencephalography. As part of
this project CEA will develop the experimental devices and the experimental
recordings will be hosted on the unique cardiac platform available in
Bordeaux. The current position is hosted at the Liryc institute in Bordeaux,
FR
JOB DESCRIPTION
The proposed 2 years position will mainly consist of the following tasks:
* Development of an experimental setup and software allowing the recordings and the analysis of signals from Optical Pumped Magnetometers (OPM)
* Numerical and experimental characterization of 3-dimensional magnetic field generated in experimental conditions in normal and diseased hearts
* Validation of the developed experimental system through a series of experiments in collaboration with the experimental team |

Full-time, indivisible vacancy in the field of geomatics |
### **Description of the course load:**
A full-time, indivisible position in the field of Geomatics within the
Department of Geography (Geomatics Unit) in the Faculty of Sciences. This post
includes teaching, research and services to the Community.
### **Context:**
Geomatics is a discipline which deals with the acquisition, modelling,
analysis, integration and representation of geographic data. In a world where
the use of geographic data is on the rise, geomatic techniques are the
foundation of a very large number of applications which are indispensable to
scientific research as well as to the functioning of society.
Within ULiège and more specifically within the Department of Geography,
geomatics is a strength of both our teaching and research. Since 1992, ULiège
been the only institution in the Walloon-Brussels Federation authorised to
organise university teaching (Bachelors and Masters) in geomatics and
geometrology. In addition, teaching in geomatics responds to an ever-
increasing need in geographers’ training, as well as more broadly in the field
of sciences and technologies, as well as in the social sciences.
Geomatics within the Geomatics Unit of the Department of Geography is treated
according to an approach focussed on the foundations of the discipline rather
than on one thematic application. This is the originality of both its teaching
and research, which allows the Geomatics Unit to pursue both fundamental
research and applied research in a variety of areas, often in
multidisciplinary collaboration.
### **Teaching activities:**
Planned courses:
GEOG0054-1 – Methods for acquiring spatial data, 25h Th, 25h Pr, 2d C 3B Geog

58333: Physicist, Geophysicist, Meteorologist or similar (f/m/x) - Dynamic
Aurora - Ionospheric Specification & Systematics (DAISSy) |
**Area of research:**
Other,PHD Thesis
**Part-Time Suitability:**
The position is suitable for part-time employment.
**Job description:**
Solar eruptive phenomena strongly affect the Earth and its space environment
in numerous ways collectively termed space weather. The Department for Space
Weather Impact focuses on the investigation and mitigation of
socioeconomically adverse space weather effects. These include the impairment
of critical technical infrastructures such as high-frequency communication and
GNSS-based navigation. Pulsating aurora (PsA) vividly express a particular
mode of space weather at which resonant wave-particle interaction in the
equatorial magnetosphere causes energetic electron precipitation into the
polar ionosphere (see image). This precipitation affects not only technical
systems but potentially also our climate through the destruction of
mesospheric ozone. The investigation of PsA hence receives considerable
international attention which is further fueled by advancements in camera
technology as well as in ground-based and spaceborne plasma observations. The
proposed PhD project aims to advance our understanding of the physical
systematics associated with PsA based on a novel combination of observations
from the northern Fenno-Scandinavian sector. The main efforts will be directed
towards (1) the identification of the relation between the optics (e.g.,
shape, velocity, pulse freqeuncy) and the F-region ionospheric plasma
signatures, and (2) the interpretation of the results under consideration of
the relevant magnetospheric processes, i.e., the scattering and precipitation
of plasma sheet electrons. Your work load of 19.25 hours per week is
compensated according to 75% of German TVöD group 13. Your tasks include
* summarizing the current state of knowledge on pulsating aurora with the aim to sharpen the research questions to be addressed,
* collecting a comprehensive data set of PsA observations from ground-based all-sky cameras as well as ionospheric/magnetospheric missions (e.g., ESA Swarm, NASA Van Allen Probes, JAXA Arase),
* developing concepts to analyze and interprete the data,
* familiarizing with existing statistical models of magnetospheric waves in order to quantify electron scattering rates,
* cooperating with international/multidisciplinary partners,
* disseminating the results in form of journal publication and conference contributions.

Fully funded PhD Position: Open Data Intermediaries |
This fully funded PhD position is part of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska
Curie ITN project entitled "ODECO: Towards a Sustainable Open Data ECOsystem"
(see [www.odeco-research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu)). ODECO is a four-
year project involving 15 PhD projects covering each a specific part of the
open data ecosystem. The central aim of the ODECO consortium network is to
train the next generation of creative and innovative early stage open data
researchers, to unlock their creative and innovative potential to address
current and future challenges in the creation of user driven, circular and
inclusive open data ecosystems.
Current developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly
fragmented. Open data ecosystems are often developed in different domains in
isolation of each other and with little involvement of potential users,
resulting in approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for
users. This reduces innovation and the ability to create new valued added
goods and services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users
acting as a barrier to data sharing. Efforts are also uncoordinated in open
data training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are scant.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills and research experience.
The offered PhD position is to improve the understanding of the roles of
intermediaries in the open data ecosystem and to design business strategies to
embed such roles sustainably in the open data ecosystem. The project aims to
train the ESR to identify and compare different types, roles and contribution
of intermediaries in/to the open data ecosystem, and to investigate their
sustainability. The research will use an international case study approach to:
1. obtain a deeper understanding of the roles intermediaries play in the open data ecosystem;
2. review innovative digital intermediary models that enable businesses to share data;
3. examine the different business models of open data intermediaries;
4. identify organisations that rely on open data intermediaries and uncover motivations for using intermediaries’ services;
5. investigate how existing and emerging technologies could lead to changing and/or new business models for open data intermediaries;
6. investigate current and future roles of open data intermediaries in a sustainable open data ecosystem.
During the PhD, the candidate will conduct this research and prepare
scientific articles presenting the research at conferences and in journals. To
enable the candidate to do this successfully, TU Delft offers personal and
professional training courses in the form of a graduate school, in which the
candidate will participate (the fee is paid by the project and there are no
additional costs for this). Furthermore, in addition to her/his scientific
supervisors, the applicant will receive an independent senior researcher as
mentor, to aid her/his personal career development.
As a Marie Curie ITN researcher, you will have the opportunity to conduct
practical internships at world leading universities and case studies at
excellent open data intermediaries (for example, ESRI) through the EU ITN
network. |

PhD Position in Probabilistic Program Induction |
Despite the remarkable progress artificial intelligence has made over the
decades, it still lacks many features we attribute to human intelligence.
Perhaps the most startling deficiency is the flexible use of knowledge humans
exhibit. Once they understand a concept, humans can use it in new situations,
find it new purposes, generate exemplars, and compositionally assemble new
concepts. Artificially intelligent agents, in contrast, are brittle and use
knowledge only in narrowly defined contexts. Humans are so adaptive and
flexible because they are adept at both learning and reasoning. When new
challenges arise, they stay on top of their game by learning new skills and
information. By reasoning about core properties of skills, humans transfer
them to new challenges, with or without modification. With machine learning
and probabilistic and logical reasoning, artificial intelligence has made
significant progress in both directions independently. However, what we are
missing is a framework that unifies them.
This PhD project will investigate the use of probabilistic programs as a
unifying paradigm for learning and reasoning. Probabilistic programs extend
programming languages with stochastic execution primitives. This simple idea
turns probabilistic programs into a lingua franca for artificially intelligent
agents: they support logical reasoning by using programming languages and
probabilistic modelling through stochastic execution. While their reasoning
capabilities are well understood, learning probabilistic programs from
observations is still a major challenge - you will have the opportunity to
tackle this problem. We envision that the outcomes of this research will have
a big impact on artificial intelligence and its applications.
You will perform groundbreaking research within the Algorithmics group at TU
Delft. The Algorithmics group aims to design and understand fundamental
properties of planning and coordination algorithms for intelligent decision
making in real-world applications, such as for coordinating electrical loads
within network constraints, or logistic processes on a shunting yard or
container terminal. To realise these objectives, the group focuses on the
following research topics: model-based reinforcement learning, multi-party
optimisation, constraint reasoning, and meta-heuristics |

Doctoral researcher in Software-Defined Vehicles |
The **University of Luxembourg** aspires to be one of Europe’s most highly
regarded universities with a distinctly international and **interdisciplinary
character**. It fosters the cross-fertilisation of **research** and
**teaching** , is relevant to its country, is known worldwide for its research
and teaching in targeted areas, and is establishing itself as an innovative
model for contemporary European Higher Education.
**The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine** (FSTM) contributes
multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of **Mathematics** , **Physics** ,
**Engineering** , **Computer Science** , **Life Sciences** and **Medicine**.
Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to generate
and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens,
in order to better understand, explain and advance society and environment we
live in.
The primary mission of the **Department of Computer Science** (DCS) is to
conduct fundamental and applied research in the area of computer,
communication and information sciences. The goal is to push forward the
scientific frontiers of these fields. Researchers strive towards research
goals that are of broad impact for society, in addition to their innovative
scientific content.
##### Your Role...
Software has been playing a prominent role in vehicle for many years now, as a
large majority of the functions of a vehicle are mostly implemented in
software. Some of next generation’s Electronic Control Units (ECUs) will be
equipped with powerful System-on-Chips (SOCs), each containing several
multicore processors with specific capabilities (e.g., lock-step execution for
safety-critical code, low-power execution, etc). Larger ECUs routinely support
hypervisors hosting Virtual Machines (VM) running OSes of different types
(e.g., real-time, infotainment or general-purpose OS). Besides VMs, software
containers are also technologies that start being considered for use in the
automotive domain to ease software update.
In that landscape, a new trend is that the runtime execution platform
increasingly relies on software, allowing for more modularity and providing a
lot of flexibility in terms of configuration, or re-configuration after new
functions have been deployed. For instance, software components executing in
the VMs may communicate through software-implemented (“virtual”) network
interfaces connected to a virtual Ethernet switch, i.e. software replacing the
actual HW. More generally, what has been observed over the last decade is that
the complexity is migrating from the hardware (in the past, vehicles sometimes
had 50+ ECUs, most running a few functions) to the software (today E/E
architectures tend to rely on a lesser number of powerful ECUs, with complex
internal software architectures). This era of increasing reliance on software
in the automotive domain is referred to as Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV).
If SDV holds much promises, it requires us to rethink the existing design,
development and verification approaches:
* SDV may require more software-centric design and development methodologies.
* Additional run-time mechanisms, e.g. implemented in middleware software layers, may be needed to complement current standards and technologies.
* Configuration and Design-Space-Exploration (DSE) algorithms need to be extended to support SDV.
* Performance evaluation in the automotive domain is typically conducted with worst-case scheduling analysis (“schedulability analysis”) at the level of a processor or at system level (considering “timing chains” over different processors and networks). Are the existing techniques, such as system-level compositional analysis, able to cope with the complexity of next-generation execution platforms? If not, what would be the techniques that could allow verifying that non-functional concerns like timing and safety are met?
This Phd thesis explores these questions with the aim to contribute to the
design of provably-correct SDV E/E architectures.
##### What we expect from you…
* Master’s degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering,
* Ideally, some background in embedded systems, networking and model-based design,
* Strong analytical capacities, creativity and commitment,
* Good programming skills,
* Good written and oral English skills.

4 Postdoctoral Research Fellow positions in Political Science |
## Postdoctoral Research Fellow position
We have four vacant postdoctoral research fellow positions in political
science for two ERC projects at the Department of Administration and
Organization Theory at the University of Bergen. The positions are for a
fixed-term period of 4 years, of which 75% (3 years) will be dedicated to
research within the themes of one of the two ERC projects and 25% (1 year)
will be dedicated to teaching and administrative tasks in the field of
political science.
Applicants are asked to specify in their application if they want their
application to be considered for a position in one or both of the two ERC
projects, SUCCESS or INCLUDE. They are asked to submit a project proposal only
for the most preferred project.
**The Inclusive Politics Project (INCLUDE)** : The objective is to take
research on public opinion and the politics of cultural and religious
diversity in a new direction. With few exceptions, research has understandably
targeted exclusion—opposition to immigration, prejudice towards minorities,
the surge in support for the far right. This project aims to expand the scope
of inquiry and to examine instead openings to the inclusion of minorities in
contemporary established liberal representative democracies. The INCLUDE
project will bring conceptual and empirical attention to different aspects of
public opinion and different segments within the public than are currently at
the center of attention in research on intergroup attitudes and support for
the far right. The team will collect data in sequences of survey experiments
in Norway, Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands, and Sweden. The project
leader is Professor in Political Science, Elisabeth Ivarsflaten. Read more
about the Inclusive Politics Project here:
**The Gender Gaps in Political Endurance Project (SUCCESS)** : Gender
imbalance in political office has been a recurring topic in political science
the last decades. This project takes a fresh look at this debate by arguing
that if we cannot just look at variation in numbers of men and women elected
to office, we must also take a closer look at how political careers unfold.
The project aims to expand our knowledge about not just how political careers
starts, but how they proceed and how quickly they end. Of interest is research
into where, why and how gender gaps in political careers occur. The project
will carry out qualitative interviews with parliamentarians and their allies
in five countries, conduct representative and citizen surveys with experiments
in a selection of these countries, and develop a dataset on political
endurance across the world. Cases selected for the first round of the project
is France, Norway, and the United States. Later two additional cases will be
selected based on the findings from the first round, most likely cases in
other world regions. The project leader is professor in Political Science,
Ragnhild L. Muriaas. Read more about the SUCCESS project here:
## About the project/work tasks:
* The INCLUDE project seeks postdoctoral candidates who plan to conduct research at the forefront of the subfields of public opinion and political behaviour with an emphasis on inter-group attitudes and/or new methodologies in survey research. The INCLUDE project welcomes two types of postdoctoral research plans: (a) those seeking to advance survey and survey experimental research in the field of political science generally and (b) those seeking to contribute to new knowledge about conflicts between liberal democratic values in questions of Muslim inclusion in established democracies. Both types of research plans must demonstrate relevance to the new inclusive politics research agenda to be advanced by the INCLUDE project. The postdoctoral research fellow will be part of a research group that will collect experimental survey data in Norway, Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Incorporating plans for survey data collection in these countries in the project proposal will be an advantage.
* The SUCCESS project seeks postdoctoral candidates who are interested in moving the research-front on questions related to gender and representation further with an emphasis on gender-gaps in political careers. The project is looking for applicants who are interested in studying the choices, networks and resources involved in sustaining the political careers of elected representatives (qualitative/quantitative techniques) and/or an interest in survey research on how candidate profiles affect vote choice (survey studies / experiments). The postdoctoral research fellows will be part of a research groups that will collect data in Norway, France, the United States and two additional cases.
* The Postdoctoral fellow is expected to contribute fully to all scientific activities needed for the project to reach its goals. While most of the three project-years will be geared towards conducting independent and collaborative research, ordinary administrative project tasks such as writing project reports, organizing meetings, and contributing to dissemination is also a part of the position. One year will be dedicated to teaching and administrative tasks in the field of political science at the University of Bergen.
## Qualifications and personal qualities:
* The applicant must hold a PhD within Political Science (awarded either in the Norwegian system of higher education or an equivalent international degree), or must have submitted his/her doctoral thesis for assessment prior to the application deadline. It is a condition of employment that the PhD has been awarded.
* Documented training and skills in the methods of data collection and analysis appropriate to the project.
* Proficiency in both written and oral English is a requirement.
* Candidates must be able to work independently and in a structured manner, as well as have the ability to cooperate with others.
* For the INCLUDE project, prior work on intergroup attitudes is an advantage.
* For the INCLUDE project, experience collecting and/or analysing survey and/or survey experimental data is a requirement.
* For the SUCCESS project, please specify if you have some knowledge of French.
* For the SUCCESS project, experience from analysing qualitative and quantitative data is an advantage.
Potential candidates may be invited to the department for an interview and
might be asked to give a presentation of their research.

4 PhD positions in Political Science |
## PhD position
We have four vacant PhD positions in political science for two ERC projects at
The Department of Administration and Organization Theory at the University of
Bergen. The positions are for a fixed-term period of 4 years, of which 75% (3
years) will be dedicated to research for a PhD project within the themes of
one of the two ERC projects and 25% (1 year) will be dedicated to required
coursework, teaching, and administrative tasks in the field of political
science.
Applicants are asked to specify in their application if they want their
application to be considered for a position in one or both of the two ERC
projects, SUCCESS or INCLUDE. They are asked to submit a PhD project proposal
only for the most preferred project.
## About the project/work tasks:
**The Gender Gaps in Political Endurance Project (SUCCESS):** Gender imbalance
in political office has been a recurring topic in political science the last
decades. This project takes a fresh look at this debate by arguing that if we
cannot just look at variation in numbers of men and women elected to office,
we must also take a closer look at how political careers unfold. The project
aims to expand our knowledge about not just how political careers starts, but
how they proceed and how quickly they end. Of interest is research into where,
why and how gender gaps in political careers occur. The project will carry out
qualitative interviews with parliamentarians and their allies in five
countries, conduct representative and citizen surveys with experiments in a
selection of these countries, and develop a dataset on political endurance
across the world. Cases selected for the first round of the project is France,
Norway, and the United States. Later two additional cases will be selected
based on the findings from the first round, most likely cases in other world
regions. The project leader is professor in Political Science, Ragnhild L.
Muriaas. Read more about the SUCCESS project here:
.
**The Inclusive Politics Project (INCLUDE):** The objective is to take
research on public opinion and the politics of cultural and religious
diversity in a new direction. With few exceptions, research has understandably
targeted exclusion—opposition to immigration, prejudice towards minorities,
the surge in support for the far right. This project aims to expand the scope
of inquiry and to examine instead openings to the inclusion of minorities in
contemporary established liberal representative democracies. The INCLUDE
project will bring conceptual and empirical attention to different aspects of
public opinion and different segments within the public than are currently at
the center of attention in research on intergroup attitudes and support for
the far right. The team will collect data in sequences of survey experiments
in Norway, Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands, and Sweden. The project
leader is Professor in Political Science, Elisabeth Ivarsflaten. Read more
about the Inclusive Politics Project here:
## Qualifications and personal qualities:
* The applicant must hold a master's degree or the equivalent in political science, or submitted the master thesis before application deadline. The position has to be completed before accession to the position.

research proposal.
Project proposal—project-specific requirements:
**The SUCCESS project** seeks two types of projects:
(1) A Ph D project within the area of gender and politics that is interested
in studying why and how career strategies affect political endurance in
elected office. The Ph D will be a part of a research group that conducts
qualitative interviews and surveys among parliamentarians and their allies as
well as citizens surveys in Norway, France and the United States.
(2) A Ph D project that studies why and how the gender-gap in political
endurance vary across time, region and political systems. SUCCESS will develop
a dataset of political endurance that includes information about gender and
other institutional and socioeconomic factors identified as relevant for
explaining variation over time and between countries. Of interest are Ph D
project that engage in developing an analytical framework and a data set that
can be used to explain cross-national variation on gender-gaps.
**The INCLUDE project** seeks two types of projects:
(1) A Ph D project within the field of political science/public opinion. Of
interest are project proposals seeking to further, through independent
contributions, the new research agenda on openness among non-Muslims in
established European democracies to the inclusion of Muslim minorities.
Projects may choose to focus exclusively on public opinion towards Muslim
minorities, or may choose a comparative approach contrasting this field of
public opinion to other relevant fields. The Ph D project will be part of a
research group that will collect experimental survey data in Norway, Germany,
France, the UK, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Incorporating plans for survey
data collection in these countries in the project proposal will be an
advantage.
(2) A Ph D project within the field of political psychology. Of interest are
project proposals seeking to bridge (a) the literatures, measurements and
empirical approaches in the field of intergroup attitudes in social psychology
with (b) the overall research agenda on openness to inclusion of Muslim
minorities among non-Muslim citizens in European democracies. The Ph D project
will be part of a research group that will collect experimental survey data in
Norway, Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Incorporating
plans for survey data collection in these countries in the project proposal
will be an advantage.

PhD position at SLATE |
## PhD position
There is a vacancy for a PhD position at the Centre for the Science of
Learning & Technology (SLATE), Faculty of Psychology, University of Bergen,
within the theme “Creativity, Learning & Technology, which explores the
sociocultural and cognitive underpinnings of creativity, learning, and
technology and how innovation happens. The position is for a fixed-term period
of four years.
The Centre for the Science of Learning & Technology (SLATE) is a learning
sciences research centre that carries out interdisciplinary research on the
use of data and data analytic approaches (learning analytics) to understand
learning, teaching, and creative knowledge processes across the full learning
lifespan. Hosted at the Faculty of Psychology, SLATE opened in 2016 with
funding from the Norwegian Ministry of Education and the University of Bergen
and has a broad mandate as a national research and competence centre for
learning analytics. We are a dynamic and including milieu of 20 persons,
including faculty, researchers, adjuncts, postdocs, PhD and Master’s students,
and support staff.
## About the project/work tasks:
The scope of this PhD position is to investigate teacher’s and student’s
creative use of technology for learning (e.g., VR, AR, robots) at different
levels of education. When used constructively, technology allows students to
engage in meaningful creative activities and expand their own learning
potential through curiosity, wondering, collaboration, and critical thinking.
However, educational technologies should not be ‘romanticised’ and it is
useful to study also how their adoption and use can sometimes limit creative
exploration. This PhD project is expected to be both qualitative and
quantitative in nature (based on multiple methods such as ethnographic
observation of technology uses in the classroom and interviews, experimental
research, survey and learning analytics) in order to explore teacher agency
and constrains, improvisational uses of technology, and the role of
serendipity in the educational process.
A key challenge is to understand and evaluate innovative technologies in terms
of both educational outcomes and the dialogical cultivation of creativity and
imagination for both teachers and students. This is a timely question given
not only current technological advances but also the pressing need for
stimulating creative thinking in education as a key 21st century skill.
Specific tasks for the PhD candidate involve:
* Review the state of the art in innovative educational technologies, teacher agency, improvisation and serendipity in the classroom
* Study technology-mediated, creative practices in teaching
* Conduct mixed method empirical research to explore teacher agency and constraints
* Disseminate the findings to the scientific community, educators and the wider public
* Participate in SLATE activities
## Qualifications and personal qualities:
* The applicant must at the time of application hold a master’s degree or the equivalent in either Psychology, Education, Learning, Technology studies, or related fields, and have a solid understanding of methodological issues
* For admission to the doctoral programme, grade B or above is normally required on the master’s thesis
* Experience with innovative educational technologies, at any level of education, is an advantage
* Work independently and in a structured manner, as well as ability to cooperate with others
* Basic command of the Norwegian or Scandinavian language can be an advantage
* Proficiency in both written and oral English is a necessity
## About the PhD position:
The duration of the PhD position is 4 years, of which 25 per cent of the time
each year comprises obligatory duties at SLATE associated with research,

BIOINFORMATICS POSTDOC IN EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS |
A postdoctoral position (3 years with possible extensions) is available
immediately in the evolutionary genomics group of Henrik Kaessmann.
We are seeking highly qualified and enthusiastic applicants with strong skills
in computational biology/bioinformatics, ideally also with experience in data
mining and comparative or evolutionary genome analyses.
We have been interested in a range of topics related to the origins and
evolution of vertebrate organs. In the framework of our research, we generate
and analyze comprehensive genomics (e.g., RNA-seq, ATAC-seq) datasets based on
samples from our large organ collections. More recently, we have begun to
bring the work of our lab to the level of single cells using state-of-the-art
single-cell genomics technologies and bioinformatics procedures.
The postdoctoral fellow will be funded by a recently awarded ERC Advanced
Grant. In the framework of this grant, we seek to unravel the cellular and
molecular origins and evolution of the vertebrate brain. The fellow will
perform integrated evolutionary/bioinformatics analyses based on data produced
in our lab and available genomic data. The precise project will be developed
together with the candidate.
In our lab, we attach great importance to a highly collaborative and positive
team spirit! And we are particularly fond of the diverse cultural backgrounds
of our lab members, which contribute to a very enriching atmosphere.
The language of our institute is English and its members form a highly
international group. The ZMBH is located in Heidelberg, a picturesque
international city next to the large Odenwald forest and Neckar river. The
city offers a very stimulating, diverse and collaborative research
environment, with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), German
Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg Institute of Theoretical Studies
(HITS), and the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research located in close
proximity to the University.
For more information on the group and our institute more generally, please
refer to our website at the ZMBH ().

Postdoctoral researcher on the development of a platform for testing the
susceptibility of electronics to high power and millimeter band signals |
This recruitment of a post-doctoral student is associated with the research
project "MIEL", accepted in the framework of the call for projects Regional
Platform of Research and Innovation. The aim is to set up and operate a
platform for testing the susceptibility of electronics to high-power and high-
frequency electromagnetic stresses (in the millimeter band), injected in the
near field. Thales SIX GTS is the industrial partner of the project, and CEA
Gramat the academic partner.
The security of electronic systems has become a societal challenge. The
massive use of communication means (WiFi, mobile phone, connected objects, 5G
phone...), leads to an upsurge of electromagnetic waves of different nature in
terms of shape, frequency and emitted power. Electronics are immersed in an
external electromagnetic environment saturated with radio waves, both
unintentional and intentional (directed energy weapons). These sources of
signals, generally of high power and particular waveforms, are more and more
used in the military field in theaters of operation, and are considered as
real threats. Thus, current circuits operating at typical radio frequencies of
a few GHz will have to cohabit with signals having carriers at millimeter
frequencies. These circuits and systems have obviously not been designed and
tested with such signals.
We have designed in the laboratory a first test bench to evaluate and
understand the effects of a millimeter frequency interference signal on any
type of electronics. Promising results have been demonstrated. However, the
expertise capabilities of this first test bench are insufficient to really
evaluate the sensitivity of electronics to threats over an extended millimeter
frequency band.
The project aims to expand the test facilities in order to extend our
expertise in emerging areas of susceptibility of electronic systems. With our
academic (CEA Gramat) and industrial (Thales) partners, we will be able to
identify the most sensitive electronic technologies and functions, and thus
set up test and qualification methodologies for high-
power and high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. This equipment will enable
us to meet the industrial needs of manufacturers and also of the equipment
suppliers of future electronic circuits and systems who will have to test the
security of their equipment in the face of these new threats. The presence in
the consortium of Thales SIX, the European leader in secure information and
communication systems for the defense and security markets, is particularly
interesting because it will allow us to evaluate our test resources with
innovative technologies for consumer, civilian and military applications.
Main task: The post doc will have to develop and operate a platform for
electromagnetic injection tests in near field, strong signal and millimeter
frequencies, for security applications of electronic systems.
Activities:
The research program will proceed as follows:
\- Assembly, characterization and automation of the platform,
\- Realization of test campaigns on electronic boards,
\- Participation in the interpretation and valorization of scientific results,
in the understanding of the effects induced by the electromagnetic signal on
electronics,
\- Animation and organization of meetings and test campaigns with the project
collaborators. |

PhD Scholarships in Spatial Sustainability Science |
### **Beyond 2030: Envisioning sustainable and resilient places for
transformative change**
Societal transformation requires positive visions of a desirable future. At
present, however, future discourses of the Anthropocene are more often than
not dominated by dystopian scenarios (e.g. evidence-based “climate breakdown”
or hypothetical “planetary urbanization”), by backward storylines (e.g. “coal
phase out”, “building back better”), or by technocratic utopias that lack a
sustainability cause and social-ecological concern (e.g. “smart city”).
Apparently, such narratives also remain largely generic with regard to change
and transformation in _spatial terms and in particular places_.
Within sustainability sciences (Clark and Harley, 2020; Fang et al., 2018) the
role and relevance of place-based positive visions has been widely discussed
(see e.g. Wiek and Iwaniec, 2014; Vervoort et al., 2015; Bai et al., 2016;
Ravetz and Miles, 2016). In particular, such visions are understood to:
* Offer qualitative and quantitative criteria for assessing the breadth, depth and speed of change required, thus enabling the design of pathways leading to their achievement, including corresponding action in the present;
* Translate between general and abstract global change parameters and the concrete and spatially diverse implications and impacts for particular places and communities, thus making future affectedness transparent and tangible;
* Enable participatory and empowering “future dialogues” that contribute decisively to renegotiate value orientations, goal conflicts and trade-offs, as well as to mobilize and integrate knowledge, thus leveraging normative change and diverse types of innovations (behavioural, technological, institutional, etc.);
* Provide a vital motivation for actors to overcome the plethora of obstacles and resistances to change and especially transformations (institutional, political, economic, social, cultural, material, etc.).
However, envisioning sustainable and resilient places beyond 2030 meets
numerous challenges in practice:
* In times of globalization, urban and spatial planning has largely abandoned its _visionary and integrative aspirations_ to focus mainly on regulation and place competitiveness (Davoudi, 2001). There is a general lack of competencies, resources and skills for envisioning in the public sector - contrasted by an expanding “future production” through the private sector (e.g. platform urbanism), as well as civil society (e.g. social movements);
* Participation in planning and policy making today has been accommodated as a regulated standard procedure tailored to ensure legitimacy, representation and acceptance. There is however little practice and experience in _participatory envisioning_ (Wolfram, 2018), especially with a view to deliberate alternative futures and ensure intergenerational and planetary justice;
* Key social-ecological-technological transformation challenges require working across policy domains and territorial boundaries (mitigation, adaptation, food, health, etc.). Demands on systemic integration and collaboration for envisioning are thus higher than ever before;
* The _complexity and uncertainty_ of spatial sustainability transformations require novel approaches and methods to conceive of, analyse and discuss possible and desirable futures, addressing not only value conflicts but also gaps in critical data as well as its overall abundance.
Against this backdrop, the Dresden Leibniz Graduate School (DLGS) is looking
for innovative research proposals that intend to explore:
* Current discourses, policies, practices and/or techniques dealing with the long-term future of places beyond 2030, including e.g. their
* emergence and shaping, considering related forms of agency
* spatiality and geographical patterns
* knowledge basis and cognitive implications
* normative claims and orientations
* confrontation, politics and de-/institutionalization
* New approaches, methods, techniques and tools for envisioning sustainable and resilient places beyond 2030 and the capacities required to implement these - enabling broad and meaningful participation, future exploration and assessment, and connecting with today’s policy and decision making.
We invite applications from all international applicants, of all disciplines
and using any suitable methods. Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary
approaches are strongly encouraged.
In case of transdisciplinary approaches, to ensure feasibility, proposals
should only be in relation to the local DLGS context (Dresden/Saxony region -
requires German language proficiency) and [pertinent IOER
projects](https://www.ioer.de/projektstarts/).

The goal of this research project is to promote green production by developing
systematic tools for the optimal design, optimization and planning of more
sustainable processes.
To achieve these goals, we will use multi-objective stochastic programming
tools combined with life cycle assessment methods for multi-criteria problems.
Stochastic programming will assist decision-makers in the face of uncertainty.
Life cycle assessment tools will be employed to assess process alternatives
from an environmental perspective.
We will apply these tools to different case studies that have attracted an
increasing interest in the recent past. Particularly, we will focus on
applications in different sectors, highlighting the advantages of the proposed
methods as compared to traditional process design tools.
**THE IDEAL CANDIDATE**
* Hold a bachelor/master degree (or equivalent), in chemical engineeering, computer science, mathematics or similar.

Senior Research Fellow of Environmental Governance (Eastern Europe and Russia) |
A senior research fellow must conduct research in Environmental Governance in
accordance with the institutional regulations and requirements (Job
descriptions of the academic staff members No 1-28/7 from 27.02.2020) with an
emphasis on on environmental governance in non-EU Europe and Russia. The main
tasks workflow to research projects in the respective field; regular
publishing of research outcomes in international peer-reviewed scientific
journals in collaboration with colleagues; participating in teaching duties;
supervising of MSc- and PhD-students; dissemination of information on the
field of study in the European society by the media and by public appearances.
This position will be opened to build research capacity for studying
environmental governance in non-EU Europe and Russia. Its particular focus
should be on geographical and thematic areas where it is relevant to the
quality of European (especially Estonian) environment, and where it is
relevant to external dimensions of the EU Green Deal (EGD) and the new
challenges and opportunities EGD opens for the region in question. The
underlying considerations justifying the importance of this research area are
that the non-EU Europe and Russia are overwhelmingly important in terms of
greenhouse emitting and sinking capacities, they support the continuity of the
EU (and Estonian) Natura 2000 network (through the Emerald network), they
share some important watersheds and water bodies with EU member states
(including Estonia), the EU and its member states spend large annual budget on
better environmental management and policies in the region without an adequate
understanding of actual impacts, and the region is undergoing socio-economic
and political transformations that might have important implications on the EU
wellbeing and ecosystems, especially in bordering countries. Taking into
account these considerations, and recognizing growing political tensions in
the region and the emerging impacts of the EU Green Deal, we expect that the
interest of EU institutions as well as broader policy communities to non-EU
Europe and Russia will be only growing. This might spark interest in related
policy advice as well as in research that would need to fill many gaps. Due to
historical reasons, EMU has capacity for implementing high quality research in
the field. With this research position we expect to consolidate and promote
this capacity, and mobilize it through relevant Estonian, European and
international calls for research funding. |

Electromagnetics Expert |
Join the advanced RF antenna & packaging team and be at the forefront of
enabling next generation communication and radar applications.
**What you will do**
In both communication and radar applications, there is a never-ending push to
mm-wave and terahertz frequencies for higher data rates, higher capacity,
higher resolution and so on. At such high frequencies, several heterogeneous
materials and technologies must be combined at different scales ranging from
less than a micrometer up to many centimeters. To achieve the level of
integration and cost/performance needed for future mm-wave products, the
system architecture needs to be co-evolved together with the underlying
semiconductor and passive integration technologies.
For communication and radar systems operating at frequencies above 100 GHz, we
aim to combine, III-V, CMOS, waferscale packaging technologies, novel package
substrates, advanced PCBs, and 3D manufacturing technologies, to achieve the
best system-level trade-off between cost, performance and footprint.
Optimizing the entire mm-wave electromagnetic signal path from the active
devices up to free space radiation is essential to achieving this goal.
To strengthen our R&D team, we are looking for an electromagnetics expert to
develop these breakthrough technologies for next generation wireless and radar
applications. You will work alongside experts across multiple domains (analog
and digital circuits design, device and packaging technology development,
system design, etc.), in an industry-driven R&D environment.
In this job, your main tasks will be:
* Simulations of flip-chip interconnects, antenna arrays, waveguides, launchers etc.
* Modelling and simulation of passive components like inductors, filters, couplers up to sub-terahertz frequencies

COFUND-&ordre=3&idioma=ENG))**
Microplastics have become recently a major cause of concern due to their
widespread distribution, small size, persistence and uncontrolled introduction
into the environment. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are considered one
of the major sources of introduction of microplastics into aquatic
environments. Microplastics in municipal wastewater treatment plants have
their origin in daily life activities, e.g., laundry processes (polyester and
polyamide components), personal care (from the use of toothpaste, shower
gel…), medicines or consumer plastics.
Microplastics may pose different problems when present in aquatic
environments: aggregation onto cell membrane surface after uptaking,
adsorption of pollutants and their introduction into organisms, additives in
plastics may be transferred to gut tissues… When present in the environment,
they suffer the action of different processes (photodegradation, attrition,
biodegradation, oxidation), that may induce changes in the morphology,
mechanical properties, molecular weight, surface characteristics. This aging
process of microplastics can also change their adsorption properties (Liu et
al., 2019).
The efficiency on the removal of microplastics in WWTPs depends on the
treatment stages applied. According to previous studies (Liu et al., 2021 and
references herein) up to 99% of microplastics entering a WWTP could be removed
by the combination of pre-treatment, primary, secondary and tertiary
treatment. However, they were primarily transferred to the sludge phase; and
still, the large volumes of treated water discharged also involve a
significant introduction into the environment. Single technologies have been
also studied (grit chambers, biological processes, advanced oxidation
processes), but results obtained differ significantly between the different
studies.
The objective of this research is to study the performance of different
technologies (belonging to primary, secondary and tertiary treatments) in the
removal of microplastics and understanding the mechanism of action of these
technologies on microplastic parts. A special focus will be given to the
application of different advanced oxidation processes (Fenton, ozonation and
O3/H2O2, UV/H2O2, photocatalysis) as tertiary treatments. Some previous
studies on the application of AOPs to the degradation of microplastics have
been published (Gomes et al., 2021; Liu et al., 2019; Tofa et al. 2019).
In the framework of an undergoing doctoral thesis, a methodology for the
quantification and characterization of microplastics has been developed. The
techniques that will be used in the thesis include the removal of organic
matter by advanced oxidation-Fenton, and a combination of alkaline and
enzymatic hydrolysis. Subsequently, will be applied a density separation and
the particles will be classified and identified using a stereoscopic, optical
and electron microscope (SEM) combined with spectroscopy techniques (Raman,
ATR-FTIR, µFTIR) (Hurley et al., 2018; Lares et al., 2018; Mahon et al.,
2018). According to the concentration of total solids in each treatment unit,
different methodologies will be applied to obtain an accurate analysis of the
Microplastics.
**Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate:**
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: Chemical Engineering or related
* Language skills: Good English level
* Other skills:interpersonal skills, teamwork, able to work in an international and competitive environment, hard working, science-driven

PhD student in medicinal chemistry |
Several therapeutic targets are considered as undruggable by the conventional
strategy which targets the active site. Among these, homomeric enzymes are
made up of different monomers that require assemblage to express activities.
The objective of this thesis is the design and synthesis of molecules capable
of blocking the activity of this homomeric enzyme by interfering with their
mechanism of oligomerization. This approach constitutes an original strategy
in medicinal chemistry. Targets of interest are, for example, arginase,
lactate dehydrogenase, TDO and phosphoserine phosphatase, SerB.
The first objective of this thesis is to identify the binding sites, called
hot spots, essential to the oligomerization process. The approach pursued will
be the development, synthesis and use of chemical probes which can bind to the
target and thus disrupt auto-association process. The idea is to build an
initial library of covalent chemical probes bearing diverse appropriate
electrophilic functional groups (commonly called warheads). The ability of
these compounds to bind to the target and block self-assembly will be
evaluated by intact protein mass spectrometry as well as by various
biochemical and biophysical techniques.
The second part will be devoted to the discovery and optimization of molecules
capable of blocking the self-assembly of identified targets. Those data will
allow a virtual screening of chemical libraries containing millions of
compounds. Moreover, we will modify the chemical probes previously developed
by removing the electrophilic motif and optimizing their structure to obtain
reversible compounds. The final optimization steps will allow the generation
of pharmacological tools useful for a preclinical evaluation of homomeric
disruptors. |

The understanding of mesoscopic flow dynamics is crucial for the design of
novel nanofluidic processes as well as to test new theories of fluctuations at
the mesoscale, which are relevant for biological systems. One important aspect
of the microscale is the importance of the thermal fluctuations, which are
responsible for the diffusion processes, but they also play a fundamental role
in e.g., the dynamics of biological micromotors. To understand and simulate
such type of systems, the description of the fluctuating fluid is a key
element. Lagrangian particulate methods, as the ones used to simulate
macroscopic flows (e.g. SPH), are suitable for systems with free surfaces as
well as containing embedded colloids. These methods can be scaled down to the
microscale, by the inclusion of the appropriate stochastic (random) terms that
mimic the thermal agitation, responsible for Brownian motion.
Recently, we have developed the necessary framework to construc this type of
models at the mesoscale, which we have generically named as GenDPDE. However,
to simulate small viscous systems (like blood), the main problem lies in the
fact that in real systems the momentum is transferred fast as compared to the
time the particles take to diffuse. The ratio of these two effects is commonly
referred to as the Schmidt number, which is rather large in fluids like water
(Sc≈400). Thus, the direct application of SPH, or the fluctuating counterpart
SDPD, are computationally very expensive, as the resolution of the momentum
relaxation limits the size of the time-steps that can be applied.
In this project, we aim at constructing a fluctuating particle-based method to
describe viscous fluids at the microscale and mesoscale, with low
computational cost, and yet able to reproduce the dominating hydrodynamic
interactions for small systems with large Sc numbers. The targeted
applications are colloidal suspensions of different types, but the intended
simulation scheme has wide application to biological fluids, being blood its
paramount representative.
The host team has a long experience in building and applying simulation codes
based on Lagrangian methods, both for macroscopic and mesoscopic fluids (see
references). The successful candidate will have support in all phases of the
production of the simulation code, which ultimately will be designed to run in
high performance computing (HPC), likely under the Lammps umbrella.
**Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate:**
* Demonstrated previous experience in one or more of the following topics: programming in scientific languages is a necessary condition (see below). A strong background is required in the Physics of Fluids and Statistical Mechanics.
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: Physics, Applied Mathematics, Mechanical, Chemical or Aeronautical Engineering, or Physical Chemistry.
* Language skills: The successful candidate must be fluent in English.
* Specific Software skills: the preferred scientific languages are Matlab and Fortran, followed by C, C++ or Python.
* Personality traits: the successful candidate must be capable of teamwork, show initiative and creativity, and comply with the ethical guidelines of the university.
The URV team and its collaborators have ample experience in the modelling and
implementation of mesoscopic fluid simulation methods (see the references),
which will help the successful candidate to complete the PhD work.

Research Group Leader (m/f/d) Extrachromosomal DNA in Cancer |
What we are looking for
The BioMed X Institute in Heidelberg, Germany, is establishing a new, fully
funded research group in the field of:
Extrachromosomal DNA in Cancer
If you hold a PhD or master’s degree with an outstanding track record or
strong interest in the field of oncology, we invite you to apply with a
project proposal for a position in our new research group (1 group leader, 2
postdoctoral researchers, 2 research assistants).
Each BioMed X project team is sponsored by an industry partner. The sponsor of
this call for application is [Merck](https://www.merckgroup.com/).
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA) was recently found to be particularly
abundant in multiple human cancer cells, although its frequency varies among
different cancer types. Elevated levels of ecDNA have been considered an
effective biomarker of cancer pathogenesis. Multiple reports have demonstrated
that the amplification of oncogenes and therapeutic resistance genes located
on both, circular as well as non-circular extrachromosomal DNA is a frequent
event that drives intratumoral genetic heterogeneity and provides a potential
evolutionary advantage.
Project proposals should focus on the following key challenges:
* Generation of a comprehensive atlas of extrachromosomal DNA (circular and non-circular amplicons) in human cancer tissues under treatment naïve conditions and following anti-cancer treatment;
* Development of innovative assay systems and computational methodologies to investigate how (onco)genes in ecDNA could contribute to tumorigenesis, disease progression, tumor heterogeneity, metastasis, and treatment resistance;
* Development of novel therapeutic strategies based on oncogenic alterations in ecDNA.
Original ideas based on preliminary experimental findings are particularly
encouraged.
Group leader positions are intended to suit candidates who would like to
develop themselves towards a leadership career path either in academia or
industry and have typically between four and eight years of relevant
postdoctoral research experience.
What we offer
* A position in a fully funded research group: the funding package covering salaries, consumables, services, travel costs, as well as access to the core facilities of neighboring research institutions in Heidelberg.
* An initial term of two years, with the possibility of prolongation for up to three additional years.
* An exciting research opportunity in a multidisciplinary and international research institution with a collegial and flexible working environment.
There is flexibility over starting dates, but successful applicants are
welcome to take up post starting February 1, 2022.
Application & Selection Process

Doctoral student in Human and Social Sciences M/W |
The doctoral student will be attached to the UMR 8504 Geographie-Cités, whose
tutelles are the CNRS, the University of Paris, the University of Paris 1
Panthéon-Sorbonne and the EHESS. He/she will benefit from the synergies
established within the team between the doctoral students (approximately 80)
and the researchers. He/she will be able to rely on the services of the unit's
technicians and engineers.
The PhD student's affiliation will be decided according to his/her speciality,
either to the University of Paris 1 Geography PhD School (ED 434) or to the
EHESS PhD School (ED 286), which is multidisciplinary and oriented towards the
social sciences.
Co-supervision will be provided by Gilles Palsky (Professor of Geography,
University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) and Nicolas Verdier (CNRS Research
Director, EHESS Director of Studies).
For the whole of his/her work, the doctoral student will benefit from a team
dynamic within the ANR DESIGNSHS project, characterized by the presence of
confirmed researchers in history, geography, cartography, graphic design and
digital humanities.
The aim of the thesis is to explore the genesis, transformations, evolutions
and epistemological significance of graphic representations from 1954 to 2000,
starting from the major place of elaboration and reflection that was Jacques
Bertin's Cartography Laboratory in this period. It thus aims to contribute to
an aesthetic, social and cultural history of scientific visual imaginaries,
crossing the history of Humanities and Social Sciences, visual cultures in
science, and the history of graphic and information design at the dawn of the
development of digital humanities.
The thesis will focus on the history of graphic and instrumental research at
the Cartography Laboratory and its place in the social sciences of the second
half of the 20th century, in its institutional, epistemological and
pedagogical dimensions. A first approach, which is essential and made possible
for the first time by access to archives, will consist in mapping the
institutional and intellectual landscape in which the Laboratory was born and
developed.
The thesis will attempt to reconstruct the institutional history of the
laboratory, its networks, its influence, and in particular the scientific
dialogue established between the laboratory and various actors in the
humanities and social sciences within the EHESS. It will analyse the links
that were established, on a national or international scale, with a
cartography in the process of being institutionalized.
The thesis, carried out within the framework of the UMR 8504 Géographie-cités,
is part of the ANR project DESIGNSHS Graphic design and social sciences: the
graphic laboratory of Jacques Bertin. This project began on 1 April 2020 and
will last until 31 March 2024 (48 months). It brings together specialists in
the history of science, geography, cartography, digital humanities and design,
as well as those responsible for heritage institutions, for a comprehensive
approach to and enhancement of Bertin's archives and those of his laboratory.
The PhD student will be involved in all phases of the project and will be able
to contribute to the collective reflections developed on all tasks. Throughout
the contract, he/she will also take on research promotion tasks (organization
of seminars, networking with media partners, etc.). |

PhD position in Energy Systems Optimization (1.0 FTE) |
The job opening is for a full time PhD position at the Energy & Resources
group of the department of Sustainable Development at the Faculty of
Geosciences of Utrecht University. This PhD position is part of a larger
research project – Next Generation Sector Coupling Models for Optimal
Investments and Operation (NextGenOpt) – which is funded by the Dutch Research
Council (NWO) within the Energy System Integration, Towards Futureproof,
Affordable and Reliable Energy Systems (ESI-FAR) call.
Accordingly, the candidate will be embedded in an interdisciplinary team
consisting of engineers, computer scientists, and mathematicians from TNO,
Utrecht University, TU Delft, and industry partners. The candidate will
closely cooperate with the other project team members and spend part of the
research time at TNO (flexible internship).
Societal relevance: The transition to a CO2 net-zero society requires a major
rethinking of the energy system that calls for coordination among the
different sectors. In this context, supporting investment and operation
decisions requires reliable and accurate large-scale optimization models that
include electricity, heat and (green) hydrogen networks, and their associated
demand, supply, and flexibility properties. However, current models for large-
scale energy systems are very simplistic and therefore not reliable for
decision-making. Conversely, the quality of sector-specific small-scale models
has evolved considerably, but real-life instances of these models are
computationally very demanding and cannot be easily scaled to the required
size.
Research focus: Overall, the NextGenOpt research project aims at combining
different sector-specific models into a single computational tool that
integrates hydrogen, heat and electricity systems, and their associated
generation, demand, conversion and storage technologies. This will be done by
bringing together state-of-the-art understanding of mathematical modeling of
power systems with energy system components and state-of-the-art optimization
and machine learning techniques. With this goal in mind, this PhD will
specifically work on improving cross-sectorial energy systems modeling and on
testing the new framework on local, regional and national case studies. You
will investigate inter- and intra-grids dependencies to properly describe heat
and hydrogen networks within a mixed-integer linear programming environment
while retaining the more mature description of the electricity grid. You will
investigate the possibility of using iterative design to construct aggregate
technology models, where key constraints are identified and embedded in
simplified, yet reliable, models. Finally, you will investigate how the model
granularity can be flexibly selected depending on the problem at hand, and how
this can be used to reconcile (inter)national case studies with those
involving municipalities and provinces. Multiscale modeling, time-series
analysis, and other decomposition methods will be used to iterate between
long-term large-scale and short-term small-scale perspectives.
During your PhD journey you will be supervised by Prof. Madeleine Gibescu
(promotor) and Dr. Matteo Gazzani (co-promotor). |

Postdoc Co-design European Biodiversity Monitoring |
Biodiversity loss has severe impacts on ecosystem services and humans. Many
EU-level policies and initiatives demand unbiased, integrated and regularly
updated biodiversity and ecosystem service data. However, efforts to monitor
biodiversity are spatially and temporally fragmented, taxonomically biased,
and lack integration. The advertised position will be part of the
international consortium [Europa Biodiversity Observation
Network](https://europabon.org/) (EuropaBON) which aims to bridge these gaps
by designing an EU-wide framework for monitoring biodiversity and ecosystem
services to support biodiversity policies in Europe. Are you interested in co-
designing this future framework for biodiversity monitoring in Europe? Do you
have experience with sampling designs of monitoring schemes, coordination of
citizen science projects, or calibrating remote sensing data with in-situ
observations? Then we may be looking for you.
Designing an EU biodiversity monitoring framework:
To co-design a cost-efficient framework for the future monitoring of
biodiversity across Europe, we need to identify the core variables to be
measured (i.e. Essential Biodiversity Variables, EBVs), the statistical
sampling design for deriving robust trends, and a feasible and cost-efficient
way for implementation. EuropaBON is built around a diverse set of
stakeholders to identify user and policy needs for biodiversity monitoring
aligned with the new European Green Deal. Together with the stakeholders,
EuropaBON assesses current monitoring efforts to identify gaps, data and
workflow bottlenecks, and analyses the cost-effectiveness of different
schemes. This will be used to co-design an improved biodiversity monitoring
system across Europe, building on a good statistical design, and making use of
remote sensing, novel technologies and citizen science to become more
representative temporally, spatially and taxonomically.
EuropaBON project:
EuropaBON is a H2020 coordination and support action. It started in December
2020 and it will finish in November 2023. It consists of 15 partner
organisations across Europe covering universities and research institutes,
governmental or public institutions, private companies and NGOs. All partners
in EuropaBON have high-level and complementary expertise in the different
areas of the project, ranging from networking and cost-effectiveness analysis,
biodiversity monitoring, modelling and analysis, to stakeholder engagement,
policy support and dissemination. The project is structured into five work
packages. WP1 oversees the coordination and management of the project. WP2 is
the hub of the project and focuses on stakeholder engagement. WP3 centers on
the assessment of existing monitoring capability in Europe whereas WP4 will
co-design a cost-efficient framework for the future monitoring of biodiversity
across Europe. WP5 will demonstrate in a set of showcases how workflows
tailored to the European biodiversity directives and cross-cutting policies
can be implemented. The current EuropaBON network includes >350 members from
>200 organisations and 44 countries. The outputs of EuropaBON will contribute
to design and investigate the feasibility of setting up a center to coordinate
monitoring activities across Europe.
Embedding:
The position is based at the Institute for [Biodiversity and Ecosystem
Dynamics](https://ibed.uva.nl/) (IBED) of the University of Amsterdam, the
Netherlands. You will be part of the [Biogeography &
Macroecology](https://www.biomac.org/) (BIOMAC) lab which is embedded in the
Department Theoretical and Computational Ecology (TCE) of IBED.
**What are you going to do?**
You will:
* Develop designs for a robust sampling of Essential Biodiversity Variables across Europe.
* Produce a synthesis report with suggestions for improving existing (and suggesting new) data flows in the context of reporting to the European biodiversity policies.
* Interact with project partners to identify workflow bottlenecks, to specify essential biodiversity and ecosystem service variables, to analyze the cost-effectiveness of monitoring schemes, and to describe the potential of novel technologies for filling existing biodiversity monitoring gaps.
* Engage with stakeholders to identify improvements for data sharing, biodiversity monitoring workflows, and standardized data collection methods.
* Participate in international EuropaBON stakeholder workshops and in regular EuropaBON meetings and networking events.
* Produce high quality scientific outputs in the form of journal publications and contribute to relevant high-level policy and practice reports. |

COFUND-&ordre=4&idioma=ENG))**
Gut microbiota is emerging as a key player in the interaction between diet and
health and it is a clear target in the development of new therapeutics against
several diseases. Recently it has been demonstrated that hypertension, which
has become the most critical and expensive public health problem, is
significantly influenced by gut microbiota. Thus, fecal transplantation from
hypertensive patients to germ-free mice led to elevated blood pressure,
demonstrating a direct influence of gut microbiota. Moreover, hypertension has
been linked to decreased beneficial bacteria. Due to its therapeutic
potential, modulation of gut microbiota has received considerable interest.
Proteins are an important macronutrient that may have a major contribution on
shaping the gut bacteria, serving as a source of nitrogen and being essential
to produce postbiotics, which are beneficial microbial metabolites. There is
growing recognition that gut microbiota can be modulated by the dietary
proteins which in turn impact health. Reciprocally, gut microbiota affects
protein metabolism releasing peptides. However, this interaction has not been
deeply investigated yet.
Protein hydrolysates are of high interest as they are a great source of
bioactive peptides, which may exert several beneficial effects, including
antihypertensive. It has recently been shown that hydrolysates may impact gut
microbiota, but their interaction is still poorly understood. It is wort
mentioning that agri-food industries byproducts are protein-rich sources, and
their reuse can represent a renewable source for new bioactive protein
hydrolysates, which will benefit the entire food system contributing to the
circular economy.
Taking all together, the hypothesis of this project is that specific protein
hydrolysates from agri-food industry byproducts may modulate the gut
microbiota and promote the production of postbiotic metabolites, including
antihypertensive peptides. The aim is to study the interaction between
hydrolysates and gut microbiota by investigating their prebiotic potential and
capability to promote postbiotics production with antihypertensive effects in
a hypertensive rat model. The main tasks to be developed during this projects
are: (1) to obtain protein hydrolysates from agri-food industry byproducts,
(2) to ferment them with feces from pre-hypertensive donors and selection
according to their potential to affect microbiota and produce antihypertensive
postbiotics (3) to validate antihypertensive activity in hypertensive rats
(SHR), (4) to investigate long-term effects of the most active hydrolysate in
SHR and (5) to assess hydrolysate effects in a human gut microbiota context
after simulation of gastrointestinal digestion. This will provide novel
insights into the interaction between microbial activity and proteins.
To carried out this project, the Nutrigenomic Research Group (URV, Tarragona,
Spain) is looking for a highly motivated candidate who will join a
multidisciplinary team which includes experts in gut microbiota, bioactive
protein hydrolysates, metagenomic and metabolomic techniques.
Highly desirable (not mandatory) attributes of the ideal candidate

Novel wearable devices will be developed to monitor fitnes and health care.
These devices, closely related to human wellbeing and showing a huge revenue
growing, are nowadays usually attached to smart watches or bracelets. Also
they are limited to physical sensors as accelerometers, so their application
is usually limited to pedometers, pulsometers and so on. Our objective is to
introduce Minos group know-how on low dimensional materials for gas sensing in
this field, and design devices that will be able to collect data about
enviroment (pollution, air quality, etc) and bio-markers (exhaled breath,
sweat, etc.). Thus changing the casual fitness paradigm to a really in deep
analisys of body activity.
Using flexible substrates will allow to attach these wearables directly to
human skin or embed them in cloth fabrics. Thus not will be they just cheap
and light, but it will be possible to locate them in close proximity to the
target analite. Using additive fabrication methods, namely stencil and inkjet
printing, will be a rapid prototyping method in a first approach. Likely, the
knowledge adquiered in the process will lead to use these methods for
developing devices taylor-made for a person-application.
In addition, we want to investigate very low consumption devices that even
allow working without batteries. We want to investigate the possibility of
integrating Energy Harvesting elements into the wearable device using
commercial elements or developing new devices for this purpose.
This type of system that must monitor variables external to it, carry out a
simple processing and send the data remotely, require intelligent electronic
elements that can be programmed. Therefore, it is intended to prioritize a
profile with knowledge of electronics, both analog and digital, and embedded
systems programming.
As main tasks to be carried out, we can mention:
* Development of gas sensors that can be printed on a flexible substrate.
* Development of the electronics necessary to extract the information from the sensor, giving priority to that which can be mounted on the flexible substrate
* Programming of the embedded systems that carry out the data transmission
* Explore alternatives to carry out Energy harvesting
* Build and test different prototypes
Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate
* Demonstrated previous know-how in one or more of the following topics: Instrumentation, microcontrollers, measurement systems.
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: Electronic and Automatic Engineering.
* Language skills: English and Spanish.
* Specific Software skills: microcontrollers and embedded systems programming, object oriented programing.
* Personality traits: Ability to work in multidisciplinary teams. |

**Description of the research project (ref.[2021MFP-
COFUND-6](https://www.sgr.urv.cat/cgi-
bin/programes/mfpcofund/detalles.cgi?conv=2021MFP-
COFUND-&ordre=6&idioma=ENG))**
The project will focus on the characterization from DC to hundreds of GHz of
high frequency Field Effect Transistor (HF-FET) of Two Dimensional (2D)
nanomaterials and be able to test its performance as microwave gas sensor.
This project will support the advance of research for nanotechnology
application, achieving highly sensitive and selective miniaturized gas
sensors, and the integration of sensors in wireless systems. Until now,
chemoresistors (i.e., resistive gas sensors) employing metal oxides as gas
sensitive films have been the most successfully marketed inexpensive devices.
Chemoresistors are simple in layout, easy to operate and can be miniaturized.
In addition, metal oxides are highly sensitive to a wide spectrum of gases of
interest. Despite all these advantages, they generally require being operated
high above room temperature (power-hungry), show poor selectivity and suffer
from long-term stability issues. Therefore, metal oxide chemoresistors are not
well suited for being integrated into a new generation of 5G enabled IoT
devices and unattended gas sensing networks.
The development of wireless networks with higher amounts of data transferred
at higher speeds is fueling the research in a new generation of high frequency
electronics such as high frequency field effect transistors HF-FET employing
new nanomaterials.
Among the already existing gas sensing platforms, field effect transistors
(FETs) are very attractive due to their simple fabrication process, sensitive
gas detection and easy miniaturization down to the nanoscale. Field Effect
Transistor gas sensors can become an alternative and superior sensing platform
to the current chemoresistors. FET gas sensors can be miniaturized down to the
nanoscale and fabricated at low costs employing microsystems technologies.
Upon exposure to gas molecules and adsorption of these at the channel area,
the electronic structure is altered, which can be exploited for gas sensing.
For example, gas adsorption results in the doping of the semiconductor
material at the channel, altering the concentration and mobility of charge
carriers; gas adsorption may lead to the formation of dipoles at the surface
of the channel, which affects the threshold voltage. Gas detection can be as
simple as measuring the change of the drain current after exposing the FET to
a target gas under constant drain to source and gate to source voltages. The
evolution of FET gas sensors has been closely related to the evolution of
nanotechnology and, very particularly to research in two-dimensional (2D)
materials [1,2].
Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, with the first isolation of graphene
nanosheets by mechanical exfoliation of graphite [3], the research in
2D-materials has been attracting increasing interest. The extraordinary
properties of graphene have opened new perspectives to other 2D-materials such
as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD), black phosphorus (BP), hexagonal
boron nitride (h-BN) and others. While graphene is a zero-bandgap
semiconductor, black phosphorus and TMD monolayers like MoS2, WS2, WSe2, are
direct band gap semiconductors and h-BN is an interesting insulator for device
passivation. Many chalcogenides such as ZrS2, InSe, PtSe2, only to cite a few,
have been seldom studied. All these nanomaterials present large surface to
volume ratios and outstanding electrical (tunable band gap, high carrier
mobility, high on/off current ratio, electrical anisotropy), optical
(absorption in the visible and infra-red, thermal, mechanical and chemical
properties, the exploitation of which shows high potential for developing a
new generation of low-power gas nanosensors with high sensitivity, short
response and recovery times, low detection limit, high selectivity and good
stability [4,5].
High frequency field effect transistors (HF-FETs) employing 2D materials are
key for the advancement of the new generation of wireless technology and
sensing systems. The performance of a HF-FET is represented by its figure of
merit (FoM): the cut off frequency (ft) and the maximum oscillation frequency
(fmax). ft is the frequency at which current gain (h21) drops to unity (0 dB)
and fmax is the frequency at which the unilateral power gain (U) equals unity.
In particular, for frequencies lower than ft, the transistor is able to
provide current gains h21 larger than unity. Extrinsic ft and fmax depend on
the quality of the materials employed during the fabrication process, the
choice of the dielectric of the substrate and under the gate electrode. New
study will be hold to evaluate the FoM of our 2D HF-FET under various gas
excitation [6,7].
The applicant should be highly motivated to develop new set up. It’s
recommended to have solid background in electrical engineering and high
frequency characterization. The successful candidate will be initiated to the
synthesis and the nanocharacterization of novel nanomaterials. He/she will
actively participate to the development of high frequency system of
measurement using Vector Network Analyzer VNA and the characterization of high
frequency FET gas sensor.
Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate
* Demonstrated previous experience in one or some of the following topics: Use of clean room facilities, bottom up or top down synthesis of nanomaterials, electronic poroperties of materials, high frequency electronics
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: Electronics Engineering, Physics, Nanotechnology

Postdoctoral fellow |
### The successful candidate will join a project that aims to investigate the
main hypothesis that phage tail proteins evolve faster than other phage
proteins. Doing so requires obtaining a large enough sample of phage genomes
which have been co-evolving with a given bacterial population (eg., single
bacterial species or genus), characterising highly diverse phage proteins into
tail and non-tail families and subfamilies and systematically comparing
diversity and evolutionary rates of tail vs non-tail proteins.
#### Your role: to lead the analysis of the data collection from bacterial
genome isolates obtained from Monash University, Australia, including (i)
managing genome analysis, assembly and choosing strains for additional
sequencing with long-read technology (Goal 1), (ii) working with co-
investigators to maximise quality of extracted prophage genomes (Goal 1),
(iii) applying methodology developed by co-investigators to classify phage
tail proteins and domains within those proteins (Goal 2), (iv) carrying out
comparative genomics to analyse the phage and bacterial population structure
and working with the PhD student to apply phylogenetic methods for the
inference of the evolutionary dynamics (Goal 3). The responsibilities of the
PostDoc will include carrying out bioinformatic research to aid the completion
of these tasks, collaborating with other members of the group, disseminating
research results at international meetings and conferences, making
bioinformatic tools publicly available via online platforms like Github and
publications.
Why is this important?
Bacteria of K. pneumoniae are a major cause of multidrug-resistant infections
in hospitals. As antibiotics cease to work, one major source of hope is the
development of glycoconjugate vaccines that recognise surface molecules like
polysaccharide capsules surrounding Klebsiella bacteria. However, these
surface molecules are very diverse and there is increasing evidence that
phages infecting Klebsiella play an important role in driving this diversity.
Understanding the contribution of phages as one potential driver of bacterial
diversity would help us make better predictive models about vaccine design in
different bacteria (eg, making broader vaccines against pathogens which evolve
more quickly). Phages have also evolved multiple molecular weapons against
bacteria of Klebsiella (proteins that depolymerise bacterial polysaccharide
capsules and help degrade biofilms) but they remains understudied. Hence this
research will provide a road-map for the discovery pipeline of nextgeneration
classes of antimicrobial drugs. |

##### Your Role...
The PhD student will join the Popkult project, funded by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) in Germany and the National Research Fund (FNR)
in Luxembourg and will be hosted at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and
Digital History (C²DH. (S)he will work under the direct supervision of Prof.
Dr Valérie Schafer.
Her/his PhD research will shed light on Advertising Radio, Television and
Record-Player in Luxembourg, Germany and France in the 1960s. By analysing
advertisements for these three media devices in three European countries, this
PhD research will look at the aesthetics, representations and imaginaries, as
well as the place they have in television advertisements, in the general
press, but also in women’s and teenage magazines in particular. Advertisements
reflect the technical development of these three devices, but also the efforts
made to sell and/or acquire them. This history, which is also related to
consumption, makes it possible to analyse the progressive segmentation of the
market, for example with the emergence of a communication specifically
targeting young people or conveying gendered representations. The comparison
between the three countries will allow to entwine consumer markets,
communication between equipment manufacturers and local suppliers, the role of
national media and paths, and will shed light on different scales - local,
national and European. From a methodological point of view, the project will
mix close and distant reading and will rely on digital humanities.
The doctoral researcher will work in close connection with the German-
Luxembourg Popkult team.

CITY IN TRANSITION |
Our cities are undergoing a major transition with the increasing application
of new technologies and innovations across a wide range of sectors -from
transport and mobility, to aging, energy use, waste management, nature-based
solutions, and citizen engagement. Important contributions are being made
towards a sustainable way of living for all. Thanks to the concentration of
people, ideas and resources, cities are leading the way towards solutions to
global challenges beyond their own boundaries as hotspots for innovation and
the implementation of novel technologies which are, therefore, likely to
generate major impacts in the way we work, live, and experience the urban
environment. Such technologies will need to be interoperable, fully critiqued
and incorporated in inclusive ways that benefit the overall functioning of the
urban environment and its citizens.
This interdisciplinary project is a forward-looking opportunity to examine the
impact of a specific cutting edge technology, or group of technologies, in an
urban context. One aspect of your inquiry will be based in engineering and the
other will explore relevant architectural, design-led, or urban agendas and
will take **one of two approaches** :
1) The successful applicant will **start with one or more technical fields**
(e.g. lighting, waste management, energy use, digital media, new materials,
urban ecology, climate change, new building techniques, etc.) and propose how
they will develop and explore their role in pushing forward societal change,
and/or altering our environmental impacts.
2) Alternatively, the successful applicant will **establish a new concept for
the future of the built environment** (e.g. a waste-free city, a building with
no construction or demolition waste, a self-sufficient urban territory etc.)
and describe which technologies realize their proposal.
While the technical fields will not have been presently implemented in the
built environment, their uptake by 2050 must be likely and your project
proposal will draw together the technical and cultural aspects of the
anticipated change to describe a _City in Transition_.
This scholarship does not start from an existing predefined research question
initiated by one of the research groups: it is an open call for an innovative
interdisciplinary research topic,supervised by a team of promotors from both
faculties. |

Postdoctoral position in anti-tumor immunotherapy |
Job description summary
The research group of Dr Philippe Benaroch () is
seeking a PhD-qualified scientist. The candidate will join the ongoing project
which aims at further developing a human adoptive cell therapy platform to
treat solid tumors based on genetic engineering of primary myeloid cells.The
candidate will be in charge of designing and performing preclinical in
vivoexperiments with immunodeficient mice carrying human tumors.
**Context**
The Benaroch’s team is part of a 130-person Immunology department (Inserm
U932, Paris, France)headed by Dr Anna-Maria Lennon at Institut Curie. The team
is focused on myeloid cells that represent a very ancient form of cellular
immunity against pathogens and tumor cells. They are very plastic, endowed
with an ever-growing list of functions in innate and adaptive immunity. How
myeloid cells crosstalk with viruses and tumor cells, and how this interplay
is regulated remain to be established at the molecular level and represent the
focus of his lab.The team offers the opportunity to expand and develop your
career in the exciting professional environment of Institut Curie promoted by
an open culture and a spirit of community. Institut Curie is one of the
largest European institutions for cancer and biomedical research with strong
interdisciplinary traditions. It is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities
(imaging, proteomic, animal facility, genomic and cytometry platforms).
Project
Solid cancers are shaped by a complex tumor microenvironment (TME) that
critically impacts their growth and metastatic potential, as well as their
response to therapies. Myeloid cells shape the TME and are major players in
immune resistance and/or evasion mechanisms. Myeloid cells have a great
capacity to phagocytose dead and even living cells, including tumor cells.
This activity is coupled to their antigen presentation function which can
stimulate the adaptive immune response. Harnessing their plasticity and
functional properties, we aim to use myeloid cells as anti-tumor therapeutic
agents following their genetic engineering. This should stimulate the anti-
tumor response and counteract the immunosuppressive activity of myeloid cells
in the TME. By combining state-of-the-art technologies in molecular biology
and cell biology with in vivoexperimental approaches, we plan to reinforce our
preliminary results and develop optimized myeloid cells as anti-cancer
adoptive cell therapy.
**Profile**
Qualification:
* PhD in Immunology, experience with mouse models (i.v tail injections, harvesting lymphoid organs, training in animal experimentation) and withmulticolor FACS analyses
* Some knowledge in cancer biology and cell biology is not mandatory but will be highly appreciated
Desirable Knowledge, skills and abilities:
* Scientific rigor and excellent analytical and synthetic capabilities
* Team spirit, and dynamic personality with passion for innovation and problem-solving
Funding: 18 months already obtained, possibility to extend. |

Post-doctoral position in Chemoinformatics, Data Science - Starting Fall 2021 |
**Research context**
Chemistry 4.0, which has been coined to define the chemistry of the future,
will massively take advantage of integrated information technology systems,
algorithms, and automated machines to reinvent both research laboratories and
industrial plants. The research program aims to develop a fully integrated
flow platform designed to autonomously work from reaction discovery to
optimization for scaling up through the massive use of digital technologies
including artificial intelligence. Based on yields of hundreds of chemical
reactions measured experimentally and using molecular descriptors obtained
from ab initio calculations or experiments, we aim to design a Machine
Learning model able to predict the yields of chemical reactions. This project
is therefore highly multidisciplinary working with organic chemists (V.
Coeffard, F-X. Felpin), NMR experts (J-N. Dumez, P. Giraudeau), and
electrochemists (M. Boujtita) from Nantes.
**Program**
The candidate is expected to build a MongoDB database of the reactant
molecules characterized by various molecular descriptors available in the
group (Dragon, Rdkit, computational quantum chemistry...) and experimental
data. He/she will then employ and/or develop supervised machine learning
algorithms (linear vs non-linear) in order to predict reaction yields from the
features gathered in the database.
All developments will be first carried out in a Jupyter Notebook and secondly
in an API REST providing five main functionalities: (i) automatic generation
of the input files for the molecular descriptor calculations based on SMILES
and xyz coordinates; (ii) dynamic workflow integrated to the local job
scheduler system for QM and Dragon calculations; (iii) extraction of output
data and loading of QM-based and/or Dragon descriptors as input features, (iv)
loading of reaction yields as target output, and (v) generation, training and
validation of machine learning models.
**Applications** should be addressed to Adele Laurent ( _[Adele.Laurent@univ-
nantes.fr](mailto:Adele.Laurent@univ-nantes.fr)_ ) including a resume, a cover
letter describing their research interests and motivation, and the names of
three persons willing to write a recommendation letter. |

PhD - Optimization of a recycling process for Nd-Fe-B magnets (M/W) |
The GPM (Groupe de Physique des Matériaux, UMR CNRS 6634) is structured into 5
departments: Metallurgy, Microstructure Mechanics, Scientific Instrumentation,
Functional Materials and Nanostructures, Disordered Systems and Polymers, and
Thematic openings and innovations. It brings together 160 staff including 60
Professors, Associate professors and Researchers, 30 technical staff and 70
PhD / PostDoct / Trainees. The laboratory is located on the Sciences and
Engineering Rouen Normandie Campus (in Rouen), within the University of Rouen
Normandie and INSA Rouen Normandie (7000m2).
The PhD student will work into the Functional Materials and Nanostructures
department, within the Functional Materials and Magnetism team, made up of 11
teachers and researchers, 3 PostDoc and 3 PhD students. The study of the
relationships between structure (microstructure, nanostructure, local atomic
structure) and magnetism of materials constitutes the framework of the
research carried out within the team. These activities are devoted to the
study of applied magnetic materials.
The proposed work is a part of the RIN LABEX REFAIRE project. It consists in
preparing powders of Nd-Fe-B magnets from urban mines, discarded magnets or
hard disks. This will be done thanks to the hydrothermal treatment developed
at the GPM laboratory. One of the advantages of this technique is that it
easily removes the protective metallic coating (usually nickel) from the
magnets.
Sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets are the most efficient magnets on the market. They
have chemical, physical and magnetic characteristics that it are essential to
preserve, both in the powder produced, but also, during the following
consolidation steps by sintering, in order to obtain a second life magnet as
efficient as possible.
To do this, the synthesis steps are crucial. The Nd2Fe14B phase has to be
preserved, with a low oxygen level and a small crystallite size. In addition,
the particle size of the powder must be optimized for the sintering step, in
terms of average particle size but also particle size distribution. Finally,
an attempt will be made to preserve, within each particle, the magnetic
orientation which pre-exists in the sintered material. This will facilitate
the development of magnetic anisotropy by texturing in the subsequent
sintering step.
A systematic study will be carried out on the effects of the various operating
parameters which influence both particle size and morphology of the particles
during hydrothermal treatment. The sensitivity of this process to the nature
of the raw material and to the amount of material treated will be studied and
the processing conditions will be optimized in order to lead to a Nd-Fe-B
precursor powder as suitable as possible for the following sintering process.
Additional mixing-grinding steps may also be implemented in order to optimize
the powder, in terms of particle size, chemical composition, Nd2Fe14B
crystallite size... Rare earth compounds being very sensitive to oxidation,
their chemical degradation always results in the degradation of their magnetic
properties. Thus, special attention will be devoted to the quality of the
powders obtained and in particular to the oxidation rate of these powders, in
order to obtain a sintered magnet with the correct magnetic properties.
The powders obtained by hydrothermal process will be systematically
characterized by Mössbauer spectrometry in order to precisely quantify the
proportion of the phases containing iron. This will in particular make it
possible to control the state of preservation of the Nd2Fe14B magnetic phase. |

PhD thesis on front-ends for Terahertz heterodyne receivers in Cubesat
platforms (H/F) |
This interdisciplinary project involves 3 CNRS laboratories:
1) IETR – UMR CNRS 6164, ([www.ietr.fr](http://www.ietr.fr)), experts in
antenna design
2) LERMA – UMR CNRS 8112, (), experts in heterodyne
receivers
3) C2N – UMR CNRS 9001, (),
experts in micro-fabrication and nano-technologies.
This thesis constitutes a unique opportunity to bring together 3 communities
(antennas, circuits and nano-technologies), which often interact by just
exchanging the definition of interfaces and do not always take into account
the needs of each other. The PhD student (M.Sc. in electrical or electronic
engineering or physics) will develop the required analysis tools for the
antenna design (IETR). He/she will also study the mixer-antenna configurations
that allow one to maximize the sensitivity (LERMA), while accounting for
thermal and energy consumption aspects. The goal is to develop a holistic
design approach for the front-end. Besides, the student will be trained at C2N
to better understand the fabrication processes and their limits, so he/she can
take this limits into account in the design phase. Finally, he/she will also
contribute to the antenna and receiver measurements and to the global
characterization of the front-end.
CubeSats are a class of miniaturized satellites for space research, which
number of launches is steadily increasing, with several initiatives in Europe.
They are (relatively) low-cost and very modular; indeed they consist of
several units (U) with dimensions 1U=10×10×10 cm3. CubeSats fly as a secondary
pay-load and they can be used to enhance the science objectives of the primary
mission, to enable observations in new environments (potentially hazardous) or
to serve as proof-of-concept for new technologies. For instance, the twin
CubeSats of MarCO () were used to relay
tracking data directly to Earth almost in real time during the critical phases
of Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) for the mission Insight, which landed in
Mars in November 2018. One of the main challenges for scientific instruments
in CubeSats consist in devising new architectures at the same time compact
(and well-suited to the CubeSat form factor) and with performances similar to
those of the primary payload.
This thesis ambitions the development of a novel ultra-compact instrument (a
receiver working around 600 GHz) to study Earth's radiation budget. The
instrument will be sized so it can be accommodated in a CubeSat platform. The
three main objectives are: 1) the development of high-gain flat antennas that
can be easily integrated on the CubeSat's chassis, 2) the design high-
sensitivity broadband circuits for the room-temperature receiver in space, and
3) the micro-fabrication of antennas and circuits so one can achieve a mass
and volume reduction by a factor of 5 compared to competing solutions. This
interdisciplinary project involves 3 CNRS laboratories, which wide expertise
in antenna design (IETR), Schottky-based room-temperature receivers (LERMA)
and nanotechnology (C2N) will be exploited to guarantee the success of this
project, funded by CNRS's “Mission pour les initiatives transverses et
interdisciplinaires” (MITI) under the 80Prime program.
The recruited student will first carry out a thorough literature review.
His/her tasks will also include the analysis and design of the flat antenna
(using ad-hoc tools or commercial software) and the study of the best
configuration for the mixer (fundamental, sub-harmonic) as well as its
efficient integration with the radiating part. Finally, the candidate will see
through the fabrication and testing of the front-end. System aspects (thermal,
calibration and power consumption) will be also accounted for in a holistic
design approach. |

PhD Position: Strategies for building data capacity |
This fully funded PhD position is part of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska
Curie ITN project entitled "ODECO: Towards a Sustainable Open Data ECOsystem"
(see [www.odeco-research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu)). ODECO is a four-
year project involving 15 PhD projects covering each a specific part of the
open data ecosystem. The central aim of the ODECO consortium network is to
train the next generation of creative and innovative early stage open data
researchers, to unlock their creative and innovative potential to address
current and future challenges in the creation of user driven, circular and
inclusive open data ecosystems.
Current developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly
fragmented. Open data ecosystems are often developed in different domains in
isolation of each other and with little involvement of potential users,
resulting in approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for
users. This reduces innovation and the ability to create new valued added
goods and services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users
acting as a barrier to data sharing. Efforts are also uncoordinated in open
data training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are scant.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills and research experience.
The offered PhD position - ODECO ESR1 - is to raise data awareness and to
build digital capacity to empower civil society in finding solutions and to
take actions that improve their lives. By using participatory design methods
to include a broader audience of non-specialist data users (e.g., citizens or
civil servants) and connect them with data professionals, to co-create new
public services, the ESR1 project aims to:
1. Identify potentials and barriers of equal access to and data use
2. Develop novel collaborative techniques and participatory methods to engage non-specialist data users constructively in co-creation with open data
3. Examine the impact of participation in co-creative ‘data-sessions’, by conceptualising and assessing data literacy, empowerment, and reuse of data for the development of new public services
4. Developing a set of practices and strategies for building data capacity and empowering civil society.
During the PhD, the candidate will conduct this research and prepare
scientific articles presenting the research at conferences and in journals. To
enable the candidate to do this successfully, TU Delft offers personal and
professional training courses in the form of a graduate school, in which the
candidate will participate (the fee is paid by the project and there are no
additional costs for this). Furthermore, in addition to her/his scientific
supervisors, the applicant will receive an independent senior researcher as
mentor, to aid her/his personal career development.
As a Marie Curie ITN researcher, you will have the opportunity to conduct
practical internships at world leading universities and case studies through
the EU ITN network. The PhD candidate will be working at the Human-Centered
Design Department (IDE faculty) and jointly supervised by dr. Ingrid Mulder
(Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering) and prof. Marijn Janssen (Faculty
of Technology, Policy and Management) and co-supervised by dr. Rikke Magnussen
(Aalborg University). |

focusses on better understanding the patterns, causes and consequences, and
remedies regarding these growing inequalities in an interdisciplinary and
international setting. We investigate both the effects of spatial inequalities
on the behaviour, well-being, and interactions of (individual) people, and how
people influence the socio-spatial structures and the built environment around
them. This academic post is an exciting opportunity to co-develop and
contribute to the teaching and research program in Urban Studies. The expected
balance between teaching-research-management is 40%-40%-20%. The candidate is
expected to set up independent research within the research programme of Urban
Studies and to establish links with urban design and urban planning, including
through teaching in cooperation with other groups in the Department. The
candidate is also expected to supervise PhD students, and publish research in
high-impact peer reviewed journals. The successful candidate will actively
seek to acquire funding (from national and European Research Councils, Horizon
2020, or comparable) for research projects and lead and carry out
collaborative projects with colleagues. The candidates will contribute to the
faculty teaching programme (particularly courses in the Urbanism department),
develop their own teaching materials, supervise students on all levels of
university education, and acquire a University Teaching Qualification (if
needed) within an agreed period. For the overall balance in the group, we
especially welcome applications from female academics and academics from
minority groups. |

sizeable group of PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers. The aim of the
PhD research project will be to gain a better, quantitative understanding of
full, four-dimensional quantum gravity and quantum spacetime in a near-
Planckian regime, their interaction with matter and their macroscopic
consequences. A combination of numerical and analytical tools has proven
essential to making progress at ultra-short length scales, using lattice
methods (Causal Dynamical Triangulations; CDT) and concepts from non-classical
and random geometry, as well as functional renormalisation. Expertise on these
topics is represented strongly in the research group at Radboud University,
and has contributed to the discovery of exciting non-perturbative phenomena,
including dynamical dimensional reduction at the Planck scale and the
emergence of a four-dimensional de Sitter geometry from a microscopic quantum
superposition. The PhD position is for four years, which is the expected time
for obtaining a doctoral degree in the Netherlands, and is paid according to
nationally set standard rates. PhD candidates are required to take a number of
courses, usually in the form of attending winter schools organised by the
Dutch Research School for Theoretical Physics. They also act as teaching
assistants for about ten percent of their working time, typically as tutors
for exercise classes in theoretical courses for Bachelor's or Master's
students. |

Lissamphibans are a vertebrate clade that includes salamanders and newts,
among others such as sirens or axolotls. Their ancestors were the first
tetrapods to walk on the soil using terrestrial locomotion during the Devonian
(between 416 and 360 million of years ago). However, it remains unclear how
locomotion evolved from aquatic to terrestrial environments. The proposed
project herein is a multidisciplinary approach using computational and
experimental methods from mechanics to study the hydrodynamics of these
animals. The use of methods from engineering to solve evolutionary problems
has been very challenging in the last years and is still a source of new
approaches and breakthrough research. The creation of hydrodynamic models of
both living and fossil species aims here to answer the question whether they
had a more aquatic or terrestrial life pushing the frontiers of the state-of-
the art in evolutionary hydrodynamics.The project involves working with ct-
scan files of the specimens under study converting and preparing them for the
further steps. Firstly, a comparative of several hydrodynamic models of living
species will allow to understand the differences between terrestrial and
aquatic locomotion by means of methods of statistical classification or
machine learning algorithms. Secondly, using methods from morphological
characterization, we will relate shape and performance seeking for the optimum
bio-design of each locomotion mode. From these data it will be possible to
infer a theoretical morpho-space that relates morphology to aspects of
hydrodynamic performance, repeating the computational/experimental models for
these optimized morphologies. It will allow us to define which morphologies
are most optimized for different locomotor environments such as marine, semi-
aquatic and terrestrial. Finally, fossils such as Tiktaalik, Ichtyostega or
Acanthostega will be included in the shed light on the first steps used by
these animals on land.This research project is characterized by its
multidisciplinary nature, using methods from mechanical engineering to solve
scientific questions in the field of evolutionary biology and palaeontology
and aims to close a question that is still unresolved today.

Mesoscopic heat transport is of vital importance in miniaturised systems, such
as molecular motors, microelectronic devices, but also in reactive fronts and
interfaces. Large temperature gradients may induce strong couplings between
non-equilibrium processes which are of paramount importance in the
understanding and modelling of energy transfer at the nano-scale.
Simulation methods, such as Dissipative Particle Dynamics with energy
conservation (DPDE), are suitable for the analysis of heat flow at the
microscale, as they can describe the effect of thermal fluctuations in the
field dynamics. DPDE was introduced by the URV team, and has been recently
extensively applied. At present, a generalised DPDE model (GenDPDE) can
describe microscopically complex systems, in which not only heat but changes
in local compositions may occur, in parallel with chemical reactions. The main
objective of this thesis is to contribute to the ongoing development of the
GenDPDE, notably through the study of the transport properties of the model
(viscosity, thermal conductivity, diffusion coefficients, etc.) as functions
of the model parameters of GenDPDE. The outcomes of this research will allow
us to map the model parameters to simulate real complex systems under non-
equilibrium situations.
Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate:
* Demonstrated previous experience in one or more of the following topics: programming in scientific languages is a necessary condition (see below). A strong background is required in the Physics of Fluids and Statistical Mechanics.
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: Physics, Applied Mathematics, Mechanical, Chemical or Aeronautical Engineering, or Physical Chemistry.
* Language skills: The successful candidate must be fluent in English.
* Specific Software skills: the preferred scientific languages are Matlab and Fortran, followed by C, C++ or Python.
* Personality traits: the successful candidate must be capable of teamwork, show initiative and creativity, and comply with the ethical guidelines of the university.

In recent years, both in Spain and in the European Union as a whole, there has
been an important development of equality policies in science and in
universities. This process was advanced and has been implemented through
specific policy initiatives and legislation. Specifically, in Spain, this was
carried out thanks to the approval of Organic Law 3/2007 for the effective
equality of women and men, and the subsequent equality regional regulations,
and was supplemented by Organic Law 4/2007 of Amendment of the Organic Law of
Universities. Both laws regulated the creation of organizational structures
and equality plans within universities, becoming key elements for the
development of equality policies in those institutions. Subsequently, the
thirteenth additional provision of Law 14/2011 on Science, Technology and
Innovation was responsible for regulating the implementation of the gender
perspective in science.
In the European Union, a number of reports and studies on the situation of
women in the various fields of scientific activity have been carried out since
the 1990s. These studies identified the inequalities between men and women and
have provided empirical evidence of the barriers that exist in the functioning
of scientific institutions and universities. One of the most verified
conclusions is that the inequalities identified affect the development of
professional careers of women scientists, compared to their male counterparts.
On the basis of these reports, a series of actions have been developed to
promote equality between men and women in science. With the adoption of the
H2020 Programme, a commitment was made to promote equality between men and
women as well as gender mainstreaming in research and innovation. Engagement
reaffirmed in the Horizon Europe programme, which establishes as a criterion
of eligibility of participants to have approved a Gender Equality Plan.
This whole process of implementing equality policies has been a central
element in advancing the elimination of certain discriminations that have
affected and continue to affect women. In the case of universities, two
factors can be highlighted by the potential they have in helping to build more
egalitarian organizations: the creation of equality units within the
university structure and the elaboration of equality plans.
These instruments have also served to identify the elements that may hinder
the advancement of equality policies in the universities themselves and in the
science system in general. Identifying these elements is key to be able to
promote the most appropriate measures with the aim of eliminating possible
discrimination.
The main objective of the research presented here is to assess the impact of
the measures adopted as a result of the implementation of equality policies on
the reduction of inequality between men and women within universities. It is
also interesting to analyse what are the most relevant challenges to achieve
more effective equality policies in the field of science and, in particular,
in European and Spanish universities. More than 10 years after the creation of
the first equality units and plans, it is appropriate to analyse and evaluate
this process and the remaining challenges.
Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate:
* Demonstrated previous experience in one or more of the following topics: gender and women studies, sociology, equality policies.
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: social sciences, sociology, gender studies, political science.
* Language skills: Spanish and english
* Specific Software: data analysis programs such as Excel and SPSS (or equivalent in free programming)
* Other skills: publications, participation in research, communication skills
* Personality traits: teamwork, flexibility in performing tasks, autonomy |

3 years PhD position: Development of metal complexes as molecular switches to
investigate their bioactivity and mechanism of action |
PhD Co-Supervisors: Mathilde Bouché & Philippe Gros
Laboratoire Lorrain de Chimie Moléculaire (UMR7053), Nancy, France
Keywords: Coordination chemistry; Medicinal chemistry; Optical imaging;
Molecular switch.
Description: Numerous metal complexes display high therapeutic potential and
their biological activity is tightly correlated to their reactivity in living
systems.[1-4] Hence, the administered complexes are often pro-drugs that
metabolize to active species. However, this metabolization can also be a
significant source of toxicity and failure in clinical trials. Therefore, drug
candidates than can be tracked by imaging and are capable to switch their
signal after their bio-transformations would be ideal to understand both their
in cellulo fate and mode of action, for enabling their rational
pharmacomodulation.[5,6]
The aim of this PhD project is to develop innovative molecular switches to
simultaneously track the localization of a series of metal-based drug
candidates, and image their bio-transformations, to understand the intricate
relationship between their in cellulo fate and bioactivity. This project will
involve collaborations between a group of coordination chemistry, a group of
molecular biologists and a group of theoretical calculations.
Requirements: We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with experience
in coordination chemistry and/or organic chemistry. Knowledge in spectroscopic
characterizations and good English skills will be highly valued. She/he must
demonstrate its ability to work in cooperative environments and be open to
work at the chemistry-biology interface.
To apply, send a cover letter, CV, grades obtained in master’s degree, and two
contact names to:

disorders” leaded by Dr. Veronica Brito, an Assistant Professor who is PI in
the research programme “Mechanistic and therapeutic approaches in
Neurodegenerative disorders” (Biomedical Sciences Department), Institute of
Neuroscience, University of Barcelona.
Dr. Brito´s group is interested in studying a novel layer of gene expression
regulation that is mediated by post-transcriptional modifications of RNA known
as Epitranscriptomics. These chemical marks or RNA modifications are dynamic,
can be very abundant in the brain and be involved in different neuronal
processes regulating the function of neuronal RNA. Ther main objective is to
decipher and explore these novel epitranscriptomic mechanisms in the
initiation and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in the
pathology of Huntington's disease (HD).
Functions and tasks
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic candidate with interest
in RNA biology, neurodegenerative disorders, neuronal plasticity,
epitranscriptomics and research with potential clinical impact. The main focus
of the PhD project is to identify the epitranscriptomic changes asssociated
with transcriptional dysregulation, alternative splicing, synaptic
dysfunction, cognitive and motor deficits in HD. The PhD student will be
involved in the development of next-generation detection techniques and
functional analysis of RNA base modifications combined with biochemical
methods and functional studies in mouse models of the disease.

**Area of research:**
Scientific / postdoctoral posts
**Job description:**
The Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine - Computational Biomedicine (INM-9)
at Forschungszentrum Jülich develops and uses computational methods going from
multi-scale molecular simulations to bioinformatics and drug design to face
the challenge of understanding the molecular basis of cellular (especially
neuronal) signaling processes, in healthy and disease conditions. Because of
the complexity of the systems under study, simulation approaches require
massive parallel computing resources such as those available at the Jülich
Supercomputing Center (JSC) at Forschungszentrum Jülich.The offered position
is part of an ambitious and challenging European project aiming at deciphering
the role of long-range electrodynamic interactions (LEDIs) on protein-protein
recognition processes as well as developing a breakthrough lab-on-chip THz
biosensor technology to investigate LEDIs between proteins, from in vitro to
in vivo. The project is funded in the framework of the Horizon 2020 FET Open
program. The research will be conducted in close collaboration with Professor
Marco PETTINI (Centre de Physique Théorique, Marseille, France).
**Your Job:**
In living matter, a complex network of molecular events involving hundreds of
different molecules, which have to diffuse, meet and interact at the correct
time in the correct place, is responsible for the transmission of information
through cells. All these biochemical reactions are highly spatially organized
and coordinated. This project aims at extending the paradigm of the self-
organization of the intracellular living matter, by exploring the existence of
long-range electrodynamic interactions (LEDIs) between proteins. LEDIs would
result from a condensation phenomenon of the vibrational modes of a
macromolecule, on the lowest frequency mode (expected in the TeraHertz
frequency band), upon the injection of a suitable energy rate. Your tasks in
this context are:
* Using out-of-equilibrium MD simulations, verify if and how such phonon condensation actually occurs in solvated proteins
* Writing scientific publications and reports
* Presenting the results in international conferences and meetings with the collaborators
**Your Profile:**
* Excellent university degree (Master) in either physics, biophysics or biochemistry
* PhD degree in one of the above disciplines
* Strong background in statistical physics and MD simulations of biological system
* Ideal previous experience with normal mode analysis
* Records proving the accomplishment of a successful independent work

PhD position on Interorganizational Networks and Cascading Disasters (1.0 FTE) |
We are seeking a candidate for a PhD project on the reliability of networks of
organizations involved in the prevention and management of disasters when
facing complex disaster situations (cascading, compound or multiple
disasters). This project aims to contribute to the current understanding of
crisis management and post-disaster resilience by combining sociological
theory on network governance and hazard response and philosophical inquiry
into ethics and decision theory.
The proposed theoretical approach advances our understanding of network
governance by bringing together the study of hazards and research on the
governance of inter-organizational collaborative networks - two areas of
investigation that so far have remained largely disconnected. Current
approaches are based on post-hoc assessments of existing disasters and their
consequences. In contrast, this project will start from a fine-grained
conceptual analysis of risk and responsibility in cascading disasters, and
subsequently assess how the resulting conceptualization maps on the processes
within the organizations and inter-organizational networks under
investigation.
The position is located at the Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences –
Department of Sociology, but the project is part of a collaboration between
sociologists and philosophers.
See the link below for a further description of the project:

The project is part of the transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research
programme SCOOP: Roadmaps to Resilient Societies (see: ). SCOOP is a research and training centre dedicated to the
interdisciplinary study of sustainable cooperation as a key feature of
resilient societies. SCOOP brings together researchers of the University of

Postdoc Big spatial point cloud data |
The postdoc Big spatial point cloud data processing is part of the nD-
PointCloud team with partners: TU Delft, Deltares (Water management domain
advisor) and Netherlands eScience Center (two eScience research software
engineers: 1. Cluster/cloud computing engineer and 2. 3D Web graphics
engineer). We want to make point clouds the primary representation of spatio-
temporal features, throughout the whole processing chain: data acquisition,
storage, analysis, visualization and dissemination. Today point clouds are
mainly used in the data acquisition phase; gridded (raster) or object (vector)
models are used in the other phases. Based on a novel use of high-resolution
nD space filling curves this proposal will realize deep integration of space,
time and scale as basis for data organization, and enable High
Performance/Throughput Computing for enormous point clouds. By enabling
operations directly on the raw point cloud data, nD-PointCloud realises major
advances in domains requiring lossless spatio-temporal data of extremely high
accuracy. A distributed Open Point Cloud Map (OPCM) infrastructure will be
developed that supports data sharing of big data nD-PointCloud and enables
interactive real-time visualization using perspective views without data
density shocks, continuous zoom-in/out and progressive data streaming between
server and client. Applications from the domain of water management are used
as Proof-of-Principle. If successful, nD-PointCloud will become the preferred
model enabling progress in (research) fields like cultural heritage, land
administration, vegetation monitoring, building modelling, transportation and
mobility.
The tasks include:
\- Develop the conceptual model and the theory required for the nD-
PointClouds.
\- Analyse and develop the nD-PointCloud data management technologies and
associated functionality.
\- Improves/extend the nD-PointCloud solution for BigData and these using.
techniques/solutions from HPC/HTC to cope with the challenges of 3Vs, i.e.
volume, variety, velocity.
\- Contrinbute to the web-based visualization of and interaction with the nD-
PointCloud.
\- Contribute to the water management application as Proof-of-Principle of the
nD-PointCloud approach. |

Post-doctoral position in computational photochemistry |
Over the last decade, photothermal therapy (PTT) have attracted increasing
attention as a potential alternative to classical ones. It involves both
molecules or nanoparticles absorbing photons upon NIR irradiation and
generating heat through non-radiative relaxation pathways. The complex
interplay between the different relaxation channels in the complex biological
environments need to be elucidated using molecular modeling and simulation,
also taking into account multiscale approaches.
In this context, applications are open for a postdoctoral fellowship position
funded by the “FireLight” projet-FEDER – **Photoactive molecules and
nanoparticles**. The position will be based at LPCT laboratory in Nancy
(France). The research project will focus on the use of high-level
computational photochemistry methodology to assess the competition between
radiative and non-radiative decay pathways in molecular self-organized
aggregates, and eventually in nanoparitcles. In addition, classical MD
simulations will be used to sample the conformational sampling assumed by the
aggregates, their interactions with lipid bilayers, and the related
modification of the photophysical properties. In the context of PTT, non-
radiative decay channels will be privileged, and the effects of the local
increase of temperature on the biological membrane will also be simulated.
Calixarene scaffolds, functionalized with near-infrared absorbing chromophores
will be initially considered as the building block of the photoactive agent. |

COVID-19 outbreak and the related national measures oriented to mitigate the
pandemic has had a disruptive impact in human mobilities all around the world.
Travel and tourism activities have fallen to “ground zero” and tourism
destinations have tried to adapt to the new challenges and emerging
requirements.
A growing number of academics and professionals have highlighted that this
crisis has contributed to question old development paths and envision new
sustainable tourism futures. Nevertheless, it is still unclear whether the
pandemic will end with a return to ‘business as usual’ or whether significant
changes in tourism destination development will emerge. Within that context,
new research on the contribution of the pandemic to the acceleration of
local/global transitions to a more sustainable tourism model will be required
in the forthcoming years.
The objective of this research is to contribute to that field by adding new
empirical based evidences on the redefinition of tourism mobilities in
destinations in post-Covid-19 context and their contribution to build new
pathways for a more sustainable tourism planning and development.
This research will cover the study of: (1) changes of tourism mobilities in
destinations following the COVID-19 outbreak, (2) responses implemented by
public and private actors at local/regional level oriented to face the
emerging challenges, (3) their contribution (or not) to a transition to a more
sustainable tourism destinations planning and development.
Different tourism destinations in Catalonia will be selected as study areas;
including coastal, urban, and rural/mountain destinations. The empirical
approach will combine both quantitative and qualitative techniques.
Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate:
* Demonstrated previous experience in one or more of the following topics: sustainable tourism planning and development, Geography and Planning, Transport and Mobilities, urban and regional planning and development, Geographic Information Systems, Spatial Data Analysis.
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: Tourism, Geography, Urban and Spatial Planning, Sustainable Mobility, GIS and/or Spatial Data Analysis, or related disciplines.
* Language skills: Fluency in English is required
* Specific Software skills: Statistics (R, Stata) and GIS (QGIS, ArcGIS) are highly recommended.

PhD on Blue - green strategies for climate change adaptation |
Recent summers have been the driest of the last decades. Many studies indicate
that droughts and water scarcity may become “the new normal” in the future in
Flanders. In addition, climate change increases rainfall extremes, which
results in more floods. These drought and flood risks impact nearly all
sectors, including agriculture, drinking water supply, ecosystem functioning,
shipping and public safety. Although the Flemish policy is highly oriented at
integrated water management and the implementation of source control measures,
current practices do not succeed in significantly reducing the risks induced
by climate change and urbanisation. Blue-green or nature based solutions are
among the priority measures. Typical blue-green solutions include infiltration
basins, upstream wetlands, swales, buffer strips, mulching or re-meandering.
In practice, it has proved to be challenging to understand how to best plan,
implement and scale blue-green solutions. Little is known about the
effectiveness (or side-effects) of these measures on a larger scale.
This PhD research project (4 years working as PhD researcher in close
cooperation with other researchers in an interdisciplinary team) aims to
improve the design, facilitate the planning and increase the implementation
rate of blue-green adaptation strategies. Central is the scientific knowledge
gain on the quantification of (large scale) impacts and benefits of blue-green
solutions. More, specifically, the research project will develop methods that
allow to properly represent the blue-green adaptation measures in catchment
scale hydrological models, and to evaluate the impact of various types of
adaptation scenarios for actual and future climate. This will be done for
selected case studies in Flanders. |

(MFP) is a redesign of the existing MF programme, offering 100 doctoral
contracts (in four editions: 2017, 2018 and 2020, 2021) at the Universitat
Rovira i Virgili (URV). The programme is uniquely shaped to offer the best
training stemming from the "triple i" principles of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie
Actions: international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral.
In order to achieve these goals, we combine leading research groups at URV
with scientific partners from world-class institutions, such that the
candidates are be exposed to interdisciplinary training as well as mentoring
from the industrial sector.
The positions are based on individual projects encompassing all areas of
research at URV: Sciences, Health Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Engineering,
Social and Legal Sciences. Prospective candidates can find here the [full list
of projects](https://www.sgr.urv.cat/cgi-

[application
process](https://www.urv.cat/en/research/support/programmes/marti-
franques/cofund/submission/application/) is entirely electronic.
Through MFP, URV is in a unique position to offer the best conditions for
doctoral training, based on the principles of the [European Charter for
Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/european-charter) and
the [Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of
Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/code) (guaranteed by
the HR award that URV has received in 2014), as well as the [EU Principles for
Innovative Doctorate Training](https://www.euraxess.be/belgium/jobs-
funding/doctoral-training-principles).
**Description of the research project (ref.[2021MFP-
COFUND-12](https://www.sgr.urv.cat/cgi-
bin/programes/mfpcofund/detalles.cgi?conv=2021MFP-
COFUND-&ordre=12&idioma=ENG))**
Many of the new applications in biomedicine and nanotechnology are based on
the possibility of controlling the formation of structures and dynamic
processes at the mesoscale and processes at the micro- and even nanoscale. The
understanding and control of the mechanisms that relate the functionality and
supramolecular structure with the microscopic composition of the constituents
is key to the development of new intelligent materials and processes having a
strong impact in selective drug delivery, tissue repair, molecular
recognition, and many others. To be able to deliver the products and processes
previously portrayed requires the development of predictive tools capable of
exploring the capacities of molecules in the formation of superstructures and
functionality at the nanoscopic scale, and which avoids the need for slow and
costly empirical research in a vast universe of compounds and different
thermodynamic conditions. Molecular simulation allows this virtual exploration
to be undertaken in a fast way and can serve as a guide for the indispensable
experimental exploration in a final stage.
In this project, the student is asked to participate in one of our ongoing
projects where we seek to understand the mechanisms that control the formation
of micelles or nanoscale objects and their stability. Even though such systems
are widely used in many industries, models which are able to quantitatively
link the surfactant molecular structure to the final micellar properties are
lacking. We propose to investigate these systems by using molecular simulation
techniques, and in particular a methodology developed in our group known as
the Self-Consistent Single-Chain Mean Field Theory (SCMFT). The SCMFT is based
on simplifying the surrounding surfactants of a central chain by mean fields
and allows us to access scales of time and space far beyond the ones available
to standard techniques such as molecular dynamics. This aspect is crucial as
the application of molecular dynamics to these systems has been strongly
limited precisely due to their prohibitive computational requirements.
Although the details of the doctoral thesis will be decided on between the
successful candidate and the thesis supervisor, the topic will be related to
our current research lines. For example, one possible project could be centred
on a highly promising methodology that we have recently developed for the
study of the dynamics of micelles. Another possibility includes the
application of our modelling techniques to the study of Membraneless
Organelles of eukaryotic cells or the formation of liquid crystal phases based
on highly hydrophobic lipids which can aggregate into cubosomes and hexasomes
in collaboration with an experimental group in Barcelona.

_General description of the Project_
XS-Meta is an Innovative European Training Network project with the main
objective of training a new generation of researchers in concurrent material-
structure design of high-technology structural systems, using functionally
graded 3D-printed metamaterials.
The scientific challenge in XS-Meta is to take advantage of the metal 3D
printing technology to perform a change of paradigm on how engineering
structural design is performed, integrating the design of the metamaterial
structure at the subscale with the engineering design of the component to
develop a new generation of high-performance components. XS-Meta addresses the
multiple scales of the problem, from microstructure of the material at the
grain level, to the continuum-based engineering design of industrial
components.
XS-Meta involves 11 partners from 7 different countries, including reference
research groups in 7 leading academic institutions, one public research
institute and 3 companies (see "Additional Information for details). XS-Meta
involves different fields, from machine learning to computational and
experimental materials science, manufacturing, applied mathematics,

2021-224-03624 - PhD Fellow in Maximising availability and use of local
government Open Data |
Are you passionate about research with a societal impact? Do you want to be
part of an excellent, world-leading team of engaged open data researchers and
practitioners? Check out this position! At the Department of Communication and
Psychology, the Faculty of Humanities, Aalborg University in Copenhagen, a
position is available as a PhD fellow in Maximising availability and use of
local government Open Data. The position will be open for appointment as of 1
January 2022. The appointment will be a fixed-term (3 years), full-time
position, which will include both research and teaching activities.
**Job description**
This fully funded PhD position is part of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska
Curie ITN project entitled "ODECO: Towards a Sustainable Open Data ECOsystem"
(see [www.odeco-research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu)). ODECO is a four-
year project involving 15 PhD projects each covering a specific part of the
open data ecosystem. The central aim of the ODECO consortium network is to
train the next generation of creative and innovative early stage open data
researchers, to unlock their creative and innovative potential to address
current and future challenges in the creation of user driven, circular and
inclusive open data ecosystems.
Current developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly
fragmented. Open data ecosystems are often developed in isolation of each
other within different domains and with little involvement of potential users,
resulting in approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for
users. This reduces innovation and the ability to create new value added goods
and services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users
acting as barriers to data sharing. In addition, efforts are uncoordinated in
open data training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are
limited.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills, and research experience.
The offered PhD position with the project title “Maximising availability and
use of local government open data” is aimed towards development of strategies
to engage local government in the open data ecosystem to create an open data
ecology in local governments. The research will use an International case
study approach, to:
* Explore how citizens can benefit from open local government data
* Examine the current availability of open local government data
* Develop strategies to increase availability to open local government data for citizens
* Examine the current use of open data in city councils
* Identify requirements and needs of local government officials for enhancing use of open data to develop new methods to enhance open data use in city councils
During the PhD period, the candidate will conduct this research and prepare
scientific articles presenting the research at conferences and in journals. To
enable the candidate to do this successfully, TU Delft offers personal and
professional training courses in the form of a graduate school, in which the
candidate will participate (the fee is paid by the project and there are no
additional costs).
Furthermore, in addition to your scientific supervisors, an independent senior
researcher will be appointed as mentor, to promote your personal career
development.
As a Marie Curie ITN researcher, you will have the opportunity to conduct
practical internships at world leading universities and case studies at
excellent, open data intermediaries (for example, ESRI) through the EU ITN
network.
This PhD position is a joint supervision collaboration between Aalborg
University (AAU) in Denmark and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in
the Netherlands with a working place at Aalborg University, Department of
Communication and Psychology, the Faculty of Humanities, physically located in
the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen.
The appointment will be a fixed-term, full-time position for 3 years, and will
include both research and teaching activities.
During the employment as a PhD fellow, the ideal candidate will be expected
to:
* Deliver quality teaching, supervision, and associated examination, as required across the range of modules offered on the Communication and Digital Media programme

24 months POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP at Université de Paris Laboratoire Matière
et Systèmes Complexes |
Motorized Nanostructures from Light-responsive Molecular Machines: Structure
and Dynamics
Positioning:
The main objective of the project is to design and effectively actuate an
entirely new class of mechanically active nanostructures functionalized with
light-driven rotary molecular motors and helical propellers. In this
challenging approach, we will focus on the out-of-equilibrium mechanical
properties of these nano-objects in order to understand in details their
dynamics upon motor rotation, and to control their changes in size, shape, and
directed propulsion behavior. The entire project will be achieved by a unique
multidisciplinary consortium that consists of a combination of synthetic
chemists, experimental physicists, and theoreticians (ICS Strasbourg and MSC
Paris).
Post-doctoral position:
• The postdoctoral position (1 year renewable 1 year) is funded from the
French Research National Agency- ANR (ideally starting in Autumn 2021 or
beginning 2022, the start date is flexible depending on the situation of the
candidate). The salary range is defined by the Université de Paris and depends
on the experience of the candidate. The work will be performed at the Matière
et Systèmes Complexes laboratory (Université de Paris).
• The propulsion and diffusion properties of the self-propelling molecular
machines and motorized nanostructures (e.g. Janus nanoparticles, vesicular
self-assemblies, surfactant nanodisks) will be fully characterized by using in
particular scattering techniques (light, X-ray, and neutron) and heterodyne
dynamic light scattering under UV irradiation allowing to tune and determine
the balance between diffusive and ballistic motions. The impact of the project
will be threefold: i) to demonstrate that artificial molecular motors can
transfer their mechanical work to the nanostructures in which they are
integrated; ii) to generate smart nanostructures capable of transient
adaptation to their environment; and iii) to achieve the world-smallest
propellers to date with potential long-term applications in nanotechnologies
and nanomedicine.
• The successful post-doctoral fellow will interact closely with university
and ANR collaborators (groups of N. Giuseppone, C. Serra, and A. Semenov):
University of Strasbourg, Large Facilities.
Requirements:
• A recent Ph.D. or Postdoc. Degree in Physics, Physical-Chemistry, Soft
Matter, Polymer Science, Complex Systems, Biophysics, Colloids or other
closely related field.
• An expertise in scattering would be appreciated: Light Scattering (e.g.
Homodyne, Heterodyne, Static, Dynamics, Cross-correlation, DWS…) and/or Small-
Angle Neutron or X-ray Scattering, etc.

PhD in deep learning for biomedical applications |
AIX-MARSEILLE UNIVERSITY - FRANCE PhD Offer – Starts Fall 2021
DEEP LEARNING FOR IMAGE INFERENCE, RESOLUTION INCREASE AND CLASSIFICATION OF
ADHERED IMMUNE CELLS
1\. Description of the PhD thesis project
## 1.1 Objectives of the project based on the current state of the art
Deep neural networks, at the heart of Deep Learning, have enabled major
advances in terms of performance on complex data (signals, images, videos,
texts) and for difficult problems (computer vision, natural language
understanding, machine translation...) over the last ten years. These models
have proven to be extremely efficient not only for supervised classification
but also for non-supervised generation and synthesis tasks. In particular, the
adversarial learning strategy (Goodfellow 2014) has proven to be a very
effective paradigm for learning how to generate a probability density
underlying a learning set. It has achieved spectacular results for the
generation of complex, highly realistic data, in particular for the generation
of high-resolution images, image editing (Chen 2018), or the generation of
realistic videos from a single image (Vondrick 2016).
Deep learning naturally has great potential in biomedical imaging (Wainberg
2018) where emerging applications include image alignment, detection of
anatomical and cellular structures, tissue segmentation, and computer-aided
diagnosis and prognosis of diseases (Shen 2017; Sokolov 2018). These methods
are now reaching the field of biological research, characterized by rich and
complex data and generally limited training of researchers in computer or data
sciences (Webb 2018). Although recent results have already been published by
Google for the exploration of large databases of transmitted light images of
cells using machine learning strategies (Christiansen 2018, Pavilion 2018),
interdisciplinary academic research between these scientific communities could
have strong application and fundamental potential.
At the same time, optical imaging methods applied to biology have developed
strongly. They are particularly based on fluorescence, such as super-
resolution (Sigal 2018); but unmarked techniques are also experiencing a
strong revival, particularly to meet the needs of biomedical research
(Limozin, 2009; Crétel 2012).
## 1.2 Methodology
In the field of cellular immunobiology, these new modalities combined with
controlled surface stimulations contain rich structural and functional
information that is largely under-exploited. Interferential reflection
contrast microscopy (Limozin 2009) produces unlabeled interferograms coding
for the cell-surface distance of adherent cells as well as close organelles
(Dejardin 2018). L. Limozin and his collaborators have generated original
adhesive surfaces specific to different types of leukocytes and described the
adhesion by RICM and the fluorescent organization of some proteins involved in
adhesion (Dillard 2014, 2016; Pi 2015; Gonzalez 2019; Nassereddine 2021).
Schematic description of the project: Several light microscopy modalities
provide images of unlabelled (1) or fluorescently labelled (2,3) cells. The
inference of labelling or increased resolution will be explored by deep
learning. The aim will be to achieve an efficient classification allowing the
phenotyping of adherent immune cells for diagnostic purposes.
The project will study and develop deep learning generative algorithms to
classify immune cells adhered to controlled synthetic surfaces, free from
fluorescence labelling. It will exploit the original LAI data in multimodal
imaging and stimulation of immune cells in vitro.
## 1.3 Work plan
The three problems of inference and classification (see figure) will
constitute the central points of the thesis, which will require original
approaches to image generation based in particular on "adversarial" learning
strategies. Task 1 → 2 will be seen as an image transformation task (Isola
2016, Chen 2018), to which we will add a classification criterion that will
guarantee the preservation of the information inherent to the cell type after
transformation. This section will focus on taking advantage of multimodal data
to infer the fluorescence image. Problem 2→ 3 will aim to infer a high-
resolution image from a very small set of fluorescence-labelled images (Nehme
2018) using budgeted learning methods (Contardo 2016) and the Adversarial
strategy. Finally, the inference task 1→ 3 will be attacked as a super-
resolution problem (Cortinhal 2019) without the use of cell labeling. For this
task, the difficulty comes from a relatively small amount of data and the lack
of direct supervision (aligned pairs of contrast and super-resolved images).
We will rely on the incorporation of supervision for the learning of
generative models by exploring matching methods by kernel alignment such as
(Quadrianto 2010), by Adversarial Autoencoder (Makhzani 2016), or more
generally by bipartite graph matching. Such a supervised strategy can help in
particular to avoid the collapse mode (or missing mode) problems often
encountered when learning GANs. In addition, we will explore the idea of
CycleGANs (Zhu 2017), which allows the learning of a prediction function
without pairs aligned by distributional constraints in the two domains and by
the joint learning of reciprocal prediction functions.
1. ## Supervisor and research group description
The project will be supervised jointly by Laurent Limozin (Laboratoire
Adhésion Inflammation - LAI) and Stéphane Ayache (Laboratoire Informatique et
Systèmes – LIS/AMU). Thierry Artières (LIS/Centrale Marseille) will be a close
collaborator in this thesis supervision.
Laboratoire Adhésion Inflammation – LAI
The LAI was founded by Pierre Bongrand in 1994 in the Hospitals of Marseille
with the pioneering idea to develop integrated research at the interface
between medicine and physics. Pursuing this spirit, the LAI is a
multidisciplinary research unit composed of investigators with backgrounds in
physics, biology and medicine, supported by French national institute of
health (INSERM), physics (CNRS) and university Aix-Marseille. Its aim is to
adapt physical concepts and methodologies to achieve a quantitative
understanding of cell function, notably cell adhesion and migration in the
immune system, with the goal of applying the results of our fundamental
research to relevant clinical problems. We have developed a strong expertise
in interferential microscopy applied to immune cellstudies, which would be
pivotal for the production of the images used in this project, as well as for
adressing biological and medical relevance. The group is highly international
and interdisciplinary with skills ranging to physics, modeling, optics, soft
matter, biology and medicine.
Laboratoire Informatique et Systèmes – LIS
LIS is a research laboratory composed of 375 people (190 researchers, about
125 PhD students, and 40 postdocs) that conduct research in computer science
(CS) and systems (control, signal, image). CS Research at LIS covers a large
spectrum of topics spanning from theoretical CS to Data Science. Moreover,
together with [Archimède](http://archimede.lsis.org/) Labex (a center of
excellence in CS), LIS promotes and conducts tech transfer, whenever
applicable. LIS is structured around 21 research teams, each focusing on a
specific research area; while different teams may collaborate on joint
research projects or on complex problems that require different expertise. The
QARMA team (éQuipe AppRentissage de Marseille) pursues researches ranging from
theoretical machine learning to more application-oriented topics such as
multi-modal data analysis and multi-views learning, or in interaction with
others fields in an interdisciplinary context (ie: neurosciences,
astrophysics, quantum computing, biology). Deep learning is a central
expertise covered in the team with applications in many areas. The members of
the group have published research papers in the top ranking Machine Learning
conferences (ICML, NIPS, IJCAI) and have been involved in numerous national
funded (ANR) projects.

Postdoctoral Position in Molecular basis and epigenetic regulation of muscle
aging |
We seek for a highly competitive postdoctoral fellow to study skeletal muscle
aging. We are looking for highly motivated and ambitious experimental
biologists, with a strong background in epigenomics, to join our research team
in the Department of Experimental and Health Sciences of the Pompeu Fabra
University (UPF) at the PRBB, in Barcelona.
We study the mechanisms underlying tissue regenerative decline with aging, and
in particular the mechanisms controlling muscle aging (sarcopenia), with the
aim of preventing or delaying sarcopenia through rejuvenating strategies. You
will be employed on a three-years project, and your work will combine
transcriptomics, epigenetics, bioinformatics and computational biology, with
mouse genetics, to define the intricate regulatory circuitry of muscle aging
and potential rejuvenating strategies

Margarita Salas grants for the training of young doctors |
These grants are intended to train young doctors at Spanish public
universities, foreign universities and/or research centres or Spanish public
research centres.
A minimum of 32 grants will be awarded, two percent of which will be for
people with a recognised disability of 33 percent or more, to promote equal
opportunities and inclusivity for people with disabilities. Grants for people
with disabilities that go unawarded will be added to the remainder of the
grants of this kind.
If there are grants that go unawarded on this call for applications or that
become available due to waivers, a new call for applications may be announced
within 18 months of the resolution date. In this case, the award decision for
the new call for applications will be published prior to 30 November 2022.
[Here you can find the bases of the
call](https://www.urv.cat/media/upload/arxius/recerca_innovacio/programes/urv/Requalificacio%20del%20professorat%20universitari/Bases_convocatoria_english_20210702.pdf)
_**Characteristics of the grants**_
1\. The grants are awarded for two-year terms to be completed on a continuous
basis between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2024.
2\. The annual amount of the award per recipient is as follows:
a) First year:
i. Outside Spain: €42,000.
ii. In Spain: €33,600.
b) Second year: €33,600. These funds will necessarily be used to finance the
grant recipient’s salary and the employer's portion of social security taxes
each year, considered independently.
It is expected that the minimum compensation payable to the recipients per
year, which will be stipulated in the contract, is as follows:
a) First year:
i. Outside Spain: €31,674 gross per year.
ii. In Spain: €25,339 gross per year.
b) Second year: €25,339 gross per year. URV may supplement these amounts by
assuming certain costs associated with the contract signed with each grant
recipient.
3\. An additional sum not to exceed €3,500 will be awarded to cover the
relocation and insurance expenses of the recipient. The mere incorporation of
the recipient into the host centre justifies the use of this amount.
This additional sum consists of a fixed amount depending on the geographical
area or country of destination, as set out in [Annex
5](https://www.urv.cat/media/upload/arxius/recerca_innovacio/programes/urv/Requalificacio%20del%20professorat%20universitari/Bases_convocatoria_english_20210702.pdf).
All beneficiaries must have accident insurance, the cost of which can be
charged to the additional sum for relocation expenses. With regard to health
care, beneficiaries who have the host centre in countries where the European
Health Insurance Card is not valid must subscribe to a care policy, the cost
of which may be charged to the additional sum for relocation costs.
4\. Without prejudice to the obligations in Articles 14 and 15 of this
resolution, the recipients of these grants may also teach at the host
university or research centre, up to a maximum of 60 hours per academic year,
at their own request and with the approval of URV, in keeping with the
applicable rules on conflicts of interest of civil servants. |

Martí i Franquès MSCA-COFUND-DP. Call for 1 PhD position in "Doctoral Training
for Enhancing European Doctorate Holders` Employability across Disciplines:
Co-creating transversal skills with industry" |
The [**Martí i Franquès COFUND Doctoral
Programme**](https://www.urv.cat/en/research/support/programmes/marti-
franques/cofund/?utm_medium=web&utm_source=martifranques21_euraxess&utm_campaign)
(MFP) is a redesign of the existing MF programme, offering 100 doctoral
contracts (in four editions: 2017, 2018 and 2020, 2021) at the Universitat
Rovira i Virgili (URV). The programme is uniquely shaped to offer the best
training stemming from the "triple i" principles of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie
Actions: international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral.
In order to achieve these goals, we combine leading research groups at URV
with scientific partners from world-class institutions, such that the
candidates are be exposed to interdisciplinary training as well as mentoring
from the industrial sector.
The positions are based on individual projects encompassing all areas of
research at URV: Sciences, Health Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Engineering,
Social and Legal Sciences. Prospective candidates can find here the [full list
of projects](https://www.sgr.urv.cat/cgi-
bin/programes/mfpcofund/cuadricula.cgi?conv=2021MFP-COFUND-&idioma=ENG). The
[application
process](https://www.urv.cat/en/research/support/programmes/marti-
franques/cofund/submission/application/) is entirely electronic.
Through MFP, URV is in a unique position to offer the best conditions for
doctoral training, based on the principles of the [European Charter for
Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/european-charter) and
the [Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of
Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/code) (guaranteed by
the HR award that URV has received in 2014), as well as the [EU Principles for
Innovative Doctorate Training](https://www.euraxess.be/belgium/jobs-
funding/doctoral-training-principles).
**Description of the research project (ref.[2021MFP-
COFUND-10](https://www.sgr.urv.cat/cgi-
bin/programes/mfpcofund/detalles.cgi?conv=2021MFP-
COFUND-&ordre=10&idioma=ENG))**
The aim of the project is to enhance the quality of the employability of PhD
graduates and their visibility in the productive system regardless of the
discipline in which they have obtained their PhD. We aim to establish a
dialogue between the doctoral candidates and graduates, firms and universities
in order to clarify subjacent expectations and create synergies to improve the
training of doctoral researchers and raise companies’ awareness of the added-
value that their human capital can bring about.
Although the employability of doctorate holders is high, in many cases, their
knowledge is not used at the full service of society because they are
effectively underemployed. To service society, universities need to transfer
the knowledge they develop to the productive sectors by incorporating these
academically-trained researchers into the non-academic arena. But to guarantee
that they are a valuable source of human capital to industry, we also need to
ensure they acquire a number of not yet quite defined transversal skills to be
able to face the demands of the employment market. Although various
initiatives to date have targeted doctoral training in transversal skills, too
seldom the design of PhD researchers’ training is devised in collaboration
with the industries that are likely going to be their employers.
We want to open a dialogue between doctoral graduates, firms and higher
education institutions that will clarify subjacent values, beliefs and
expectations and create synergies to improve the training for the
professionalization of doctoral researchers and the use that the labour market
can make of these highly qualified doctorate holders.
The specific objectives of the project are:
1. To perform a detailed analysis of the needs of companies when considering to employ PhD graduates, which will allow for the detection of their transferable skills training;
2. To design and implement a training program in transferable/soft skills that addresses the needs of the labour market
3. To observe the effects of the training through PhD internships.
We want to highlight the interdisciplinary nature of the proposal. The project
wants to involve a large number of areas of knowledge, since the ultimate goal
will be strengthening the European higher education and business environment,
particularly in terms of tackling skills mismatches and promoting excellence
in skill development independently of the area of knowledge, all with a view
to improving the doctoral education system to trigger a societal
transformation toward the full utilisation of doctors’ knowledge capital.
To sum up, with this project we aim: to change current doctoral training by
including transversal skills for the professionalization of doctoral
researchers by raising the awareness of HEIs to the need for training in
skills related to PhD holders employability; to modify the use that the labour
market can make of these highly qualified doctoral holders; and to enhance
employability of PhD holders and their visibility in the productive system, by
raising the awareness of the industrial sector in order to reap the benefits
of utilising the human capital that PhD holders represent.
Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate
* Language skills: Spanish and English
* Specific Software skills: If possible, SPSS or R, Nvivo or Atlas ti
* Other skills:
* Having previously shown an interest in the topic of the project
* Having a strong background on research methods
* Having carried out some smaller research projects
* Academic writing skills |

PREDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN CANCER METABOLISM |
PREDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN CANCER METABOLISM
We are seeking to recruit highly motivated, ambitious, talented young
scientists to carry out their doctoral thesis in our group at the University
of Barcelona, studying the metabolism of tumours in vivo (Méndez-Lucas A. et
al, Nat Metab 2, 335–350 (2020) ).
Financial support will be obtained upon successful application to various
institutional fellowships. PhD student candidates should have a master's
degree in biology, veterinary, biomedicine, biochemistry, or related fields.
Metabolomics has become a critical tool to describe the biochemistry of
tissues in healthy and pathological situations. Metabolism of tumours is
different from metabolism in parental tissues. This difference is thought to
favour maximal use of the resources with an adequate energy balance to allow
cancer cells to survive and proliferate in a competitive tumour
microenvironment. This metabolic rewiring of tumours can induce metabolic
dependencies that have the potential to be exploited therapeutically. We use
multiple molecular biology techniques, including stable-isotope labelling in
vivo and in cultured cells and organoids coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS)
and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR), in preclinical models of
cancer. We aim to understand the metabolism of tumours growing in their
natural environment, to find and test new anticancer treatments, and better
describe the tumour-host interactions.
The candidate would integrate in a collaborative project from the laboratories
of Dr. Andrés Méndez Lucas and Dr. Jose C. Perales. Previous experience in
research, and having the title of experimentation on animals will be valued,
but not essential. If you are interested please submit your application
containing a cover letter and your CV, to
[amendez@ub.edu](mailto:amendez@ub.edu) or
[jperales@ub.edu](mailto:jperales@ub.edu). Informal enquiries are also
welcome.

Postdoctoral position in the Meylan Lab – Role of neutrophils in lung cancer |
The research program of the laboratory is on the immuno-metabolic control of
lung cancer
development, with a focus on intercellular communication systems and tumor-
associated
neutrophils. Using a combination of in vitro cell cultures, genetically-
engineered mouse models of
human lung cancer, bioinformatics as well as patient-derived tumor tissue
sections, we hope our
research will contribute better, knowledge-based treatments of patients in a
near future.
From September 1st, our group will relocate from EPFL (Switzerland) to ULB
(Belgium). It will be
strategically located on two sites, (1) the Institut Bordet (Erasme campus,
Brussels) that
offers immediate proximity to clinical oncologists and access to precious
tumor samples, and
(2) the Laboratory of Immunobiology (Gosselies campus) that comprises multiple
immunology
groups and state-of-the-art facilities, together providing excellent
conditions for research
on cancer immunobiology. The postdoc, although expected to be located mostly
on the
Gosselies site, will benefit from both locations for research and
interactions.
_**Project**_
Building from our recent studies (CellRep 2017, NatCom 2020, CanRes 2021), in
this research project
we want to characterize functionally the cells of innate immunity,
particularly neutrophils, in lung
tumor progression. Genetics and pharmacological approaches will be used to
understand their function
and heterogeneity in disease progression and therapy response, using
genetically-engineered mouse
models of lung cancer. Mouse-to-human validations will be performed on human
lung tumor tissues.
The results of this project should enable a better understanding of tumor-
associated neutrophils and
their communication with tumor cells and with other immune cells of the tumor
microenvironment,
and may offer perspectives for new clinical development. |

Researcher learning methods for hadrontherapy (M/F) |
He/she will develop a research activity at the interface between data sciences
and medical physics in order to explore applications of artificial
intelligence for time-of-flight data in hadrontherapy. He/she will pursue the
following main objectives: i) to improve our approach to 3D GPq vertex
reconstruction based on an optimization problem that incorporates the physics
of hadrontherapy (e.g. by analyzing simulated and real available data in order
to incorporate suitable regularizations like low-rank+sparse). The results
obtained at this stage will allow in particular to optimize the design of the
instrument for a maximum spatial resolution; ii) to evaluate the contribution
of machine learning and deep learning methods to jointly estimate the 3D
distribution of GP vertices and the anatomical changes (i.e. of electron
density) between the time of the treatment plan and the time of the actual
treatment. This essential quantity is often estimated beforehand with
significant uncertainties that must be compensated. Different strategies will
be studied (transfer learning, use of Generative Adversarial Networks) and the
most relevant ones will be evaluated on real data with the feedback of
physicians and radiophysicists.
The research work is part of the TIARA project, which aims to provide an
instrumental, methodological proof of concept on real data of the real time
monitoring of the emission distribution of Gamma Prompts (GPs) in the context
of hadrontherapy. A detection system placed around the patient - composed of
an hodoscope and gamma detectors with a temporal resolution of 100 ps -
provides time of flight measurements of the particles involved in the
treatment. The first objective of the proposed mission is to exploit these
data to be able to detect as soon as possible a significant divergence between
the real treatment and the treatment plan (simulated upstream), and to stop
the treatment if necessary. The final goal is to be able to estimate the
distribution of GPs' vertices with a sufficient accuracy to adjust the
treatment in real time with respect to the treatment plan. Access to this type
of information could also pave the way for measuring the actual dose
distribution delivered.
The researcher will be part of the TIARA project (Time-of-flight Imaging ARrAy
for real-time monitoring in hadrontherapy) financed by the Inserm Cancer Plan,
PCSI 2020 (Physics, Chemistry or Engineering Sciences applied to Cancer), a
tripartite collaboration between the Laboratoire de Physique Subatomique &
Cosmologie (LPSC) in Grenoble, the Centre de Physique des Particules de
Marseille (CPPM) and the Centre Antoine Lacassagne (CAL) in Nice. In this
project, the CPPM is responsible for the development of the data processing
methodology.
He/she will benefit from the multidisciplinary, rich and stimulating work
environment of the imXgam team, the CPPM and the Luminy Campus, including
access to the know-how and computing facilities of the IN2P3 Computing Center. |

COFUND-&ordre=13&idioma=ENG))**
In the field of information and communication technologies, in addition to the
benefits obtained through today`s classic systems such as video cameras and
traffic sensors, important innovations will be released in the coming years.
The biggest innovation is expected to be the implementation of C-ITS
(Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems) cooperative systems that will
allow V2V (vehicle to vehicle) and V2I (vehicle to infrastructure)
communication. This technology will allow each vehicle to report relevant
information on its condition, traffic conditions in its environment and the
state of the infrastructure. At the same time, the vehicles will receive
direct information from the other vehicles in their environment and also from
the road infrastructure. Thanks to the use of these technologies it is
possible to optimize the route to follow or the speed of vehicles, and
therefore energy consumption, or inform each driver of the actions of drivers
in their environment that may pose a danger to the your safety. If developed
and implemented successfully, these systems can be the key to solving many of
the current and future problems of transport, and which are obviously shared
by the road infrastructure that we can call the "road of the future". A well-
sensed road will increase economic efficiency, improve sustainability and save
many lives. For all these reasons, we propose this project that focuses its
objectives on the sensorisation of the road infrastructure and that makes it
more "smart".
**Objectives:**
* Implement a web interface for administrators that provides statistical information, predictions and smart recommendations for improving infrastructure management.
* Detect, analyze and report in real time incidents on the tracks, essentially from cameras and photonic sensors.
* Development of V2I communication mechanisms to detect intelligent signals, sensors and road elements and also allow the control of safe and anonymous access of vehicles to restricted traffic areas.
**Fulfillment of the above objectives will mean obtaining an architecture made
up of the following elements:**
* cloud service platform
* mobile application by users
* vehicle anti-collision communication and radar module and

_OVERIEW_
As humanity’s impact on the environment continues to increase, it brings with
it an increased risk of abrupt and irreversible changes at the global scale.
The global agenda is undoubtedly determined by the success of achieving the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Planetary Boundaries (PBs)
framework. Both public and private institutions show great efforts towards the
full integration of the SDGs in their own agendas. Ultimately, national
governments are responsible for the effective budget allocation for
sustainable development.
_BACKGROUND AND STATE OF THE ART_
The lack of open, discussed and widely accepted general guidelines related to
how to link national public spending (based on the classification of the
functions of government) to the achievement of the SDGs is reported in the
literature. Thus, the aim of this project is to propose an initial mapping
between them, as well as to assess, through data envelopment analysis (DEA),
mathematical programming and multiobjective optimization, the national public
spending efficiency where government expenditure is consumed (inputs) to
attain a certain progress in indicators specific to all 17 SDGs (outputs).
Planetary boundaries, identifies a safe operating space for several processes
deemed critical to the continued stability of the Earth system. At national
level, countries face the challenge of limiting their environmental impact
while enabling their inhabitants to lead happy lives.
_PROJECT CONTRIBUTION AND METHODOLOGY_
Different economies of various types and stages of development exhibit varying
emissions and resource needs, yet they all exert pressure on the same Earth
system processes. On the one hand, results were analyzed for each SDG by
income groups, unraveling inefficient spending strategies, thus identifying
potential weaknesses that should be overcome before some countries can achieve
the same level of progress on SDGs as the best performing nations. On the
other hand, low income and high income countries deliver higher average public
spending efficiency. Countries of these two groups might often deemed
efficient, being displayed alongside the efficient frontiers of the DEA. These
finding highlights that low middle-income and upper middle-income countries
exhibit the major room for improvement in public spending.
Considering this broad context, here we apply DEA to assess the efficiency of
nations in “converting” their environmental impact into a happy populace, or,
in other words, the environmental efficiency of well-being. We plan to
calculate aspirational improvement targets for countries violating one or more
PBs and identify trends within income categories as defined by the World Bank.
We found that only around one third of the countries analysed operate
efficiently, with only a few of them doing so within PBs. Following best
practices, most countries could meet PBs while increasing their happiness
level at the same time. Conversely, reductions in well-being would be required
for most high-income countries to operate within PBs. Overall, this work
highlights both the differences and similarities between nations concerning
how they provide well-being while providing high-level targets towards the
global goal of conserving the Earth system without compromising our well-
being.
_THE IDEAL CANDIDATE_
* Hold a bachelor/master degree (or equivalent), in chemical engineeering, computer science, mathematics, economics or similar.
* Language skills: English is the working language of the international research group ()
* Other skills: we wish to recruit a motivated and talented fellow to undertake original research in the area of sustainable decision making in a very multidisciplinar and interdisciplinar topic.
_BENEFITS AT THE END OF THE PhD_
* Skills: multivariate statistical analysis, mathematical programming (LP, NLP, MILP, MINLP), multiobjective optimization, DEA, multicriteria decision making, machine learning, life-cycle assessment.
* State-of-the art modelling & optimization tools, including process simulation (e.g., gPROMS...); life cycle assessment and related software packages (e.g., SimaPro, Ecoinvent...); algebraic modelling systems (e.g., GAMS, Matlab...), optimization solvers (e.g., CPLEX, DICOPT, SBB...) and machine learning algorithms (e.g., artificial neural networks, support vector machine...). programming in several tools (GAMS, Matlab...).
* The PhD project is embedded into a larger, interdisciplinary research effort with international collaborations. There are ongoing collaborations with international research centres that will be used to validate the modelling framework.

COFUND-&ordre=15&idioma=ENG))**
The project will stem from the Reus-Tarragona Birth Cohort (RTBC). Suboptimal
foetal development due to pregnancy complications or maternal lifestyle
factors can lead to small for gestational age babies at birth. There is
accumulating evidence that these babies are at risk of developing chronic
diseases such as diabetis or cardiovascular diseases as adults. It is
hypothesised that the developing foetus adapts, grows and is “programmed” by
the intrauterine environment. Exposure to a nutrient-poor environment in utero
followed by an abundance of nutrients postnatally may stimulate the
development of biological lesions that eventually lead to chronic diseases in
adults. The role of one carbon metabolism, of which folic acid is a key
ingredient, in DNA synthesis and repair as well as in very early foetal
development is well established. Women planning on becoming pregnant are
advised to take folic acid supplements to prevent major developmental defects
such as neural tube defects in the foetus. Less is known regarding the role of
one carbon metabolism in the establishment and function of the materno-
placental-foetal unit; a key determinant of foetal development, health and
wellbeing and how this affects postnatal development and health. The global
aim of the study is to unravel the links between B vitamins, micronutrients
and genetic polymorphisms implicated in one carbon metabolism and development
in utero and during childhood. The originality of the project lies in 2 key
components of the RTBC. Firstly, mothers are recruited during very early
pregnancy and a blood sample is collected from them before completing 12
gestational weeks. This enables us to search for novel biomarkers of
placentation as well as foetal and future child development. Secondly, we
collect biological and lifestyle data from the father. The role of the
paternal component in placentation in human studies has largely been
overlooked to date. Preliminary data of ours suggests that paternal genes and
one carbon metabolic status affect placental function. We now aim to unravel
why this may be. The aim of the project is to investigate the association
between maternal and paternal one carbon metabolic status and placental
vascular function, gene expression in the placenta and foetal growth in
mother-father-neonate triads from the Reus-Tarragona Birth Cohort. The project
will advance knowledge in prenatal and postnatal elements of very early
development through the identification of novel biomarkers in the mother and
father of developmental outcomes in the offspring.
This is a research focused opportunity where the candidate will join a team of
researchers to conduct their PhD project under the supervision and direction
of a Principal Investigator. The opportunity will allow the candidate to
further develop their research skills and abilities, including the processes
of publication in peer-reviewed academic journals, the development of funding
proposals, and the participation in practical sessaions with undergradutate
Medical and Physiotherapy students. The candidate will have the opportunity to
join our research team at international conferences and to have a 3 month
secondment with one of our international collaborators.
**Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate:**
* Demonstrated previous experience in one or more of the following topics: laboratory
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: Biostatistics/ Epidemiology/Genetics/Bioinformatics

Post doc Researcher |
We are seeking to appoint a Researcher to work with Virginie Guiraudon and
Hélène Thiollet in the project “BRIDGES: assessing the production and impact
of migration narratives” (Grant number 101004564) of the H2020 program funded
by the European Commission.
Project web site:
BRIDGES aims to understand the causes and consequences of migration narratives
in a context of increasing politicisation and polarisation. By focusing on six
current/former EU countries (FR, GE, HU, IT, SP, and UK), it has a three-fold
objective.
First, at the academic level, it aims to understand the processes of narrative
production and impact and their mutual interaction. This entails analysing: a)
why some narratives have become dominant over others in public and political
debates from a historical perspective; b) how narratives shape individual
attitudes in Europe and potential migrants’ decisions in countries of origin
and transit; c) how narratives impact policy decisions and outputs both at the
national and EU levels; and d) how individuals and policymakers become in turn
narrative producers (‘shaped shapers’) and influence each other. Second, at
the policy level, it aims to foster evidence-based policies. By developing a
typology of government strategies for responding to populist narratives, we
will provide policymakers with recommendations on how to redress a tendency
towards increasingly symbolic policies in the field of migration and
integration. Third, at the societal level, our objective is to create spaces
for dialogue between actors involved in narrative production. A key added
value of the project is its interdisciplinarity and co-production approaches,
including three interactive workshops with policy, media and civil society
actors, an itinerant photojournalism exhibition and two hip hop contests to
reflect on the challenges of multicultural and increasingly diverse societies.
More specifically, the Sciences Po- CEE (FNSP) team will be in charge of the
empirical work in WP 3 on narrative production in the media arena and WP7 and
WP8 on the impact of narratives on policymaking at the national and EU levels.
More specifically, the Sciences Po- CEE (FNSP) team will be in charge of the
empirical work in WP 3 on narrative production in the media arena and WP7 and
WP8 on the impact of narratives on policymaking at the national and EU levels.
This involves
1) Quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis of media and
social media content
since 2014 in France based on a common coding sheet for all six cases of the
project
2) Interviews with stakeholders in the media
3) Qualitative and quantitative data collection on the impact of narrative on
policy making at the national level
4) Participating workshops with media and social media platforms to discuss
how and why some narratives become dominant
5) A national report on our media data analysis of the French case to be
delivered on March 2022
6) Preliminary report on data collected about the impact of narratives and
their impact on French policy making to be delivered at the end of the
contract.
The aim is to investigate how narratives on migration are produced in local
and national arenas, how they circulate and how they are reacted to in the
media (both traditional and social) and how they impact policy making both at
national and European levels. This involves collecting data in three
newspapers, two TV news broadcasts and on social media on a number of events
and debates related to migration (e. g. border crossings at the French-Italian
border, debates on integration) and coding the narratives for analysis.
Follow-up interviews with relevant media actors and stakeholders will
complement the empirical work.
Regarding the impact of media narratives on policy making, the research
involves collecting data on dominant narratives in different political venues
(parliamentary plenary debates, select committee hearings, political campaign
materials such as speeches and manifestoes) and charting co-variation between
the salience of these narratives, and data on public attitudes and voting
behaviour.
Exploratory interviews with national and European stakeholders will also be
conducted. |

The granting of the scholarships, is nevertheless, always dependent of the delivery of the documents proving that the candidate has the required academic degrees.
5\. WORK PLAN AND SCIENTIFIC SUPERVISION OF THE SCHOLARSHIP
The work plan to be followed aims at the reinforcement of the component of
research on studies of the composition of the atmospheric aerosol in the North
central Atlantic region as well as its variability due to emissions originated
either locally or in the surrounding continents, both from natural as well as
anthropogenic provenance, which play an important role in the radiative
balance of the region atmosphere. In this context, IVAR is responsible by the
management of the Pico Mountain Observatory (OMP), an infrastructure where it
is possible to install, among other components, instrumentation for the
monitoring of the gases and the aerosol transported by air masses that cross
the North Atlantic central region. The research infrastructure of the C2TN/IST
also has instrumental resources that allow to complement the sensors installed
at OMP, and laboratories having advanced analytical capabilities, which allow
to obtain the chemical characterization of the aerosol samples collected in
the OMP.
The use of the analytical techniques of C2TN/IST, allows the researchers from
IVAR and C2TN to advance the knowledge about the composition of the samples
collected in the Aethalometer, which will allow to improve the quality of the
information registered since 2001. Based on the analysis of the records of the
Aethalometer, obtained at different wave lengths, it is possible to identify,
for the aerosols absorbing energy in these wave lengths, if a sampled air mass
contains Black Carbon (BC - originated in the burning of fossil fuel), if it
corresponds to a mixture of BC and iron oxides, or if there is a possibility
of the presence of brown carbon (originated from biomass burning). This
characterization requires a deeper study, which should emerge from the added
information that originates from the chemical speciation of elements present
in the samples collected in the Aethalometer filters.
The PhD student has as main objectives, to increase the information on
elements speciation in the aerosol samples collected in the Aethalometer
filters, study calibration factors that allow to increase the information on
the sampled aerosol, deepen the study of time series of data, already
available and classify the sampled aerosol according to the emission sources
and their trajectories, when appropriate, study their possible correlation
with sources of volcanic origin. Student work, would also include the
development of skills to perform tasks of maintenance and instrumentation
deployment at the OMP, development of automation routines for data management,
collaborative work in the development of real time data system transmission to
IVAR facilities, and in the development of protocols to integrate OMP data in
the IVAR database and open access.
The scientific supervision of the activities to be carried out in the frame of
the work plan for the attribution of the academic degree of PhD in Chemistry
will be of the responsibility of Doctor Paulo João de Lemos Cabral de Sousa
Fialho, without any limitation to the settling of other co-supervision that is
justifiable.

Postdoctoral position at LISN: Design and Evaluation of Multisensory
Technologies for Movement Learning |
\- Conduct a state of the art on the field of adaptive methods in movement
modeling, adaptive systems for movement learning, and auditory feedback for
movement learning.
\- Design and implement one or several interactive systems providing
continuous audio feedback for movement learning. The design process will be
iterative and will include intermediate evaluation workshops. Knowledge about
movement skill acquisition from initial observations will be used to inform
the design of the sonification strategies. The design will focus on
integrating adaptation mechanisms to adapt the feedback to the expertise and
learning process of the person.
\- Design and conduct controlled experiments to evaluate the proposed system.
The studies should assess the effectiveness of the feedback system to help
acquire the various properties of the movement sequence.
\- Publications and dissemination.
Context: ANR Project ELEMENT
==========================================
Because memorizing and executing gestures is challenging for users, most
current approaches to movement-based interaction consider intuitive interfaces
and trivial gesture vocabularies. While these facilitate adoption, they also
limit users' potential for more complex, expressive and truly embodied
interaction. Considering movement-based interaction beyond the mouse-keyboard
paradigm, the ANR project ELEMENT (Enabling Learnability in Embodied Movement
Interaction) proposes to shift the focus from intuitiveness towards
learnability: new interaction paradigms require users to develop specific
sensorimotor skills compatible with – and transferable between, – digital
interfaces (including video interface, mobile devices, internet of things,
game interfaces). With learnable interactions, novice users should be able to
approach a new system with a difficulty adapted to their expertise, then the
system should be able to carefully adapt to the improving motor skills, and
eventually enable complex, expressive and engaging interactions. The long-term
aim is to foster innovation in multimodal interaction applied to different
fields, from assistive technologies to media interaction in creative
applications.
Goals
==========================================
The use of continuous multisensory feedback as a medium to support movement
learning is showing promise in a number of applications such as sports,
performing arts or rehabilitation [1, 2]. Such motor learning support systems
require fine-grained movement modeling to provide appropriate audio, visual or
haptic feedback to assist the learner in acquiring or recovering particular
motor skills. In this context, there is a need for advanced computational
models able to take into account sensorimotor learning mechanisms [3].
Complementary to analytical models of movement learning, the development of
data-driven strategies using machine learning is a core focus of the ELEMENT
project [4]. Such models have the potential to dynamically adapt to the skill
level of the learner (relative to a given task) so as to provide appropriate
feedback.
This postdoctoral research project focuses on the design, implementation and
evaluation of multisensory feedback systems to assist movement learning in
various contexts. In particular, we will study how auditory or visual feedback
can be used to support the learning of movement sequences. We consider
sequences of multiple movement units (or gestures) which must be executed with
specific properties (e.g. trajectory, dynamics, movement quality) and
articulated together. Modeling such sequences requires the development of
appropriate analysis techniques that can capture various properties of the
movement, such as trajectories, dynamics, or even movement qualities [5, 6],
as well as their relationship to movement learning.
According to the applicant's profile, the project could either focus on
movement modeling with machine learning, in particular using neural networks,
or on experimental studies to design and evaluate learning technologies.
The main research questions of the proposed postdoctoral project are:
\- What representations of the movement can be combined to capture multiple
properties of the movement (trajectories, dynamics, expressivity,
articulation, etc.)?
\- What computational models can quantify and track these properties as a
function of the learning process of a person?
\- How to design continuous multisensory feedback in order to support the
learning of these various properties in a complex movement sequence?
\- Can adaptive feedback systems improve the learning rate and learning
experience?
This full time postdoctoral position will take place at LISN as part of the
ANR ELEMENT project. The ELEMENT project is coordinated by Ircam (Paris), and
also involves two teams at LISN (Orsay). It is expected that the post-doctoral
fellow will interact strongly with doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows
involved in the project, and will work in collaboration with all partners.
Travel for experiments or conferences may be funded during the postdoc.
The post doctoral fellow will be provided a laptop computer and accessories.
LISN has acquired several portable motion sensors (IMU, EMG sensors), and has
a whole-body motion capture system. Additional equipment can be acquired
during the project. |

Origin of cognitive tools for quantification (M/F) |
The PhD student will work in Bordeaux under the supervision of Francesco
d'Errico (CNRS UMR 5199 PACEA, University of Bordeaux) and Andrea Bender
(University of Bergen) in collaboration with other members of the QUANTA team
in Bordeaux
Numbers are omnipresent in our modern, globalized world and play a fundamental
role in its functioning. Quantification - that is, the ability to represent,
think about, and symbolically express facts related to quantities - is a
universal phenomenon that occurs to some degree in all cultures and languages.
While words for quantification are learned as part of natural language, even
without writing or schooling, the acquisition of numbers requires teaching
(often through apprenticeship or institutional schooling). Mastery of a
numerical system paves the way for numerical literacy, that is, for the
uniquely human ability to evaluate, store, and transmit discrete quantities
accurately. This raises a fascinating question about the emergence of the
phenomenon: if our ability to count is an essential cognitive tool, how could
such a tool have been invented in the first place? In other words: when,
where, how and why did humans make the transition from natural quantifiers to
exact symbolic quantification with numbers? Reconstructing the evolution of
cognitive tools of quantification as products of cultural practices and their
cognitive implications is the main objective of the ERC Synergy QUANTA
project. Highly interdisciplinary, this project will involve senior
researchers, post-docs and PhD students from four research institutions (CNRS-
Université de Bordeaux, University of Bergen, University of California San
Diego, and Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig).
The PhD student in Bordeaux will contribute to this global effort by
conducting research on the oldest known quantification systems, dated to the
Upper Paleolithic and possibly the Middle Paleolithic. The research will
include taphonomic and technological analysis of Paleolithic and ethnographic
objects made of bone, ivory, antler and stone, the creation of experimental
protocols to guide the interpretation of archaeological finds, the
morphometric study of archaeological and experimental mark series according to
the principles of Weber-Fechner law, the application of multivariate
statistical analyses from data derived from geometric morphometry, and the
microscopic analysis of archaeological and experimental objects using optical,
confocal and scanning electron microscopes. Results will be analyzed in light
of theoretical models and scenarios on the evolution of quantification means
and conceptual grids developed by cognitivists to characterize the performance
of cognitive quantification tools.
The successful candidate will have an MA or MSc in prehistory, archaeology,
paleoanthropology or cognitive science. He/she will ideally have expertise in
the European and African Paleolithic, bone taphonomy, technological analysis
of archaeological bone objects and a strong interest in the evolution of human
cognition. |

Local measurements of radiometers are available for this purpose. Finally,
solar irradiance nowcast of the immediate future are determined. Deep learning
methods are especially suited for the image processing tasks at hand. Further
artificial intelligence methods are of great interest for the evaluation of
additional time series data related to the nowcasts.
Your tasks will be:
* Evaluate uncertainty of state of the art nowcasting approaches and identify key uncertainty sources
* Investigate potential of different artificial intelligence approaches
* Implement most promising artificial-intelligence-based models, e.g. RNN for cloud segmentation and tracking
* Benchmark new approaches with state-of-the-art approaches
* Documentation and publication of scientific results
We offer the opportunity for continuous education and advanced training
possibilities by participation in several courses of DLR’s Graduate Program.
You will be part of a young, diverse and motivated team aiming to build a
sustainable future. You will have the possibility to work every day knowing
you're doing your best to fix the planet and to fight climate change. The PhD
thesis is planned to be finalized in three years.

Doctoral Research Fellowship in Russian language and linguistics (ref 207534) |
## Job description
A Doctoral Research Fellowship (SKO 1017) in Russian language and linguistics
is available at the [Department of Literature, Area Studies and European
Languages](https://www.hf.uio.no/ilos/), University of Oslo. The position is
associated with the Researcher Project grant 302573 ”Fakespeak – the language
of fake news. Fake news detection based on linguistic cues”,
, funded by
the Research Council of Norway and led by Project Manager Silje Susanne
Alvestad, researcher in Slavic languages and linguistics at the University of
Oslo.
Fake news, defined as news items that are meant to be deceptive and which the
author knows to be false, is not a new phenomenon. However, the rapid
development of social media now allows news from sources of varying reputation
to be spread unfiltered at lightning speed and to be read by millions of
people in a very short period of time. Western liberal democracies are
vulnerable, and fake news and other types of disinformation may seriously harm
them.

Doctoral Research Fellowship in Cognitive Neuroscience (ref 208322) |
RITMO is a Centre of Excellence funded by the Research Council of Norway. This
interdisciplinary centre focuses on rhythm as a structuring mechanism for the
temporal dimensions of human life. Methods from musicology, psychology,
neuroscience, and informatics are combined to study rhythm as a fundamental
property that shapes and underpins human cognition, behavior, and cultural
expressions.
The doctoral fellow will work on the project “Neurophysiological Mechanisms of
Human Auditory Predictions: From population- to single neuron recordings”, and
will have a primary affiliation with the [Structure and cognition
cluster](https://www.uio.no/ritmo/english/research/structure-cognition/) at
RITMO. The overarching aim of the project is to identify the
neurophysiological basis of auditory predictions beyond “classical” auditory
areas. We will record electrical signals directly from the brains of patients
with epilepsy (implanted with electrodes for clinical reasons) while they
listen to streams of regular sounds that are occasionally replaced by
unexpected events. We aim to delineate how distinct brain areas play different
roles and interact in encoding auditory regularities, predicting upcoming
sounds, and detecting unexpected sounds or silences.
The work of the doctoral fellow will have a particular focus on the roles of
hierarchically organized brain areas and the different frequencies of
oscillations supporting their communication during the prediction of
regularities of auditory stimuli. The interaction between attention and
predictions will also be addressed.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in macroevolution and phenotypic evolution (ref
208012) |
The main goal of the SELECT project is to develop fossilized cheilostome
bryozoans as a novel model system to directly link quantitative genetic
parameters, measurable fitness components and phenotypic evolution on
geological time scales, contributing with unique data and insights to current
hot debates on the macroevolutionary nature of phenotypic selection.
The post-doctoral research fellow will lead one of the project work packages
devoted to assess if and how phenotypic traits contribute to diversification
dynamics. Using a combination of temporal occurrences of extinct species,
phenotypic traits of both extant and extinct species, and molecular data of
extant species, the post-doctoral research fellow will develop a total-
evidence, fossil-calibrated phylogeny for one of the most diverse genera of
cheilostome bryozoans, Microporella. With this phylogenetic framework, it will
be possible to estimate speciation and extinction rates, investigate which
phenotypic traits have contributed to diversification dynamics within the
genus, and assess the relationship between rates of phenotypic evolution and
diversification dynamics among species. However, the candidate will be
encouraged to develop their own research questions and also to develop their
own complementary lines of research. For their work, the post-doctoral
research fellow will be able to capitalize on the undergoing work of our
research group including morphometric data, that is being collected both
manually and using automated approaches, as well as the largest global
molecular phylogeny of cheilostome bryozoans to date.

Postdoctoral research position in collectivity in photon-induced processes in
ALICE with LHC Run 3 data |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
ALICE is undergoing an extensive upgrade of its systems in order to cope with
the conditions in the LHC Run 3, starting in 2022. The upgraded ALICE
apparatus will be able to process orders of magnitude more data than in the
past allowing us to investigate characteristics of QCD, the theory of strong
interactions, with more precision and in new ways.
The candidate will study particle correlations in photon induced reactions in
order to shed light on the origin of collective behaviour, a signature of the
quark-gluon plasma, that has been recently observed in collisions of systems
where the formation of such state of matter is not expected.
Our group is heavily involved in two detector projects, FDD and MFT, which
will be very important to perform this measurement; thus, the candidate will
also participate in their commissioning and operation. |

Postdoctoral research position in synchronization and collective phenomena in
network-based quantum dynamical models. |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
The faculty and team: The Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering
of the Czech Technical University is a leading research and education
institution in physics, activities covering quantum technologies, high-energy
physics, and mathematical physics. It is also the only institution in the
region offering a full master’s program in Quantum Technologies. The research
group Q3, led by Prof. Igor Jex, is an active and ambitious team with many
international connections both in theory and experiments. It is a pioneering
group in the study of quantum networks and its applications, such as the
theory and implementation of quantum walks and the formulation of the Gaussian
Boson Sampling problem.
The subject of the project: Mutually interconnected quantum systems attended
by complex evolution constitute the basis of advanced quantum technologies. In
this context, the collective dynamics arising from a system of identical
quantum systems forming a network with local interactions provides a
theoretical playground where the study of emerging complex phenomena remains
tractable, and hence allows for a detailed analysis of the collective
phenomena expected in real-world scenarios. The project focuses on exploring
fundamental properties and applications of quantum dynamical network models,
such as mutual synchronization of local evolutions, quantum transport and
quantum simulations.
Tasks of the candidate: Theoretical studies of quantum dynamical networks
including spin networks, quantum walks or other dynamical models using the
tools of open quantum dynamics such as quantum Markov processes, graph theory
and functional analysis, and seek applications in the context of quantum
technologies and quantum simulations. Interact with other team members on
related topics and take part in relevant international collaborations.
The ideal candidate is expected to have a strong background in quantum physics
and expertise either in the theory of open quantum systems or quantum walks
and related dynamical models.

Postdoctoral research position in electrochemistry of Homologues of Superheavy
Elements |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Exploration of the Super-heavy Elements (SHEs) is one of today’s research
frontiers that recently drew wide public attention after discoveries of four
new elements. Although most chemistry investigations on SHEs use the “easier”
gas-phase methodology, many fundamental properties can best be studied in
liquid phase. After preliminary test in 2016, a new joint Czech Technical
University (CTU) – University of Oslo – Nuclear Physics Institute SHE
laboratory was set-up at the U-120M cyclotron beamline in Řež (Czechia) in
2017/2018. The laboratory is equipped with a new Modular Robotic Gas-Jet
Target System (MARGE) and a microfluidic liquid-liquid extraction (LLX) system
developed at the CTU. The main focus of the new lab is on the chemistry of SHE
homologues and on building an on-line versatile fast microfluidic aqueous
chemistry apparatus.
The topic of the proposed post-doctoral research will focus on
electrochemistry of the homologues of transfermium actinoids and
transactinoids. Main attention will be paid to the study of redox behaviour of
Mo and W, as homologues for element Sg (Z=106), Tl and In, as homologues for
element Nh (Z=113), and selected lanthanoids as models for the transfermium
actinoids Md, No and Lr. The overall aim is to develop a system where the
redox behaviour of seaborgium, nihonium and/or transfermium actinoids can be
studied by observing the changes in liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) behaviour
as a function of reduction potential in an electrochemical cell prior to the
extraction stage. This approach is proposed since ordinary electrochemical
approaches such as cyclic voltammetry are not available for the single-atom
chemistry. Thus, one needs to investigate redox properties of the heaviest
elements based on partition behaviour of the single atoms between two phases
instead of measurement of electric currents arising from a redox reaction. For
these studies a dedicated flow-through electrochemical cell will be developed
for the initial stage of the project that should be later miniaturized for
application in micro- or minifluidic systems.
When applied to the target SHEs, these oxidation-reduction studies are
expected to give valuable information on e.g. valence electron states.
However, prior to performing very costly and time-consuming studies with the
SHEs, the experimental techniques, devices and chemical hypotheses will be
tested using SHE homologues that can be produced with smaller accelerators,
e.g. the U-120M accelerator in Nuclear Physics Institute ASCR in Rez (NPI Rez)
where the laboratory is hosted. Contrary to using long-lived tracers for "off-
line" experiments, the small accelerator delivers radionuclides "on-line"
identically to how the SHEs will be delivered.
The project proposed here will be fundamental for strengthening the
established collaboration in Europe for resurrecting research on liquid phase
in the field of SHE chemistry and prepare background data for actual
experiments in one of the SHE laboratories.

Doctoral Research Fellowship in Interactive multi-agent music systems (ref
208316) |
RITMO is a Centre of Excellence funded by the Research Council of Norway. This
interdisciplinary centre focuses on rhythm as a structuring mechanism for the
temporal dimensions of human life. Methods from musicology, psychology,
neuroscience, and informatics are combined to study rhythm as a fundamental
property that shapes and underpins human cognition, behaviour and cultural
expressions.
In the[ Interaction and Robotics
cluster](https://www.uio.no/ritmo/english/research/interaction-
robotics/index.html) at RITMO we are interested in how humans and machines
interact. Recently, we have developed two multi-agent systems, the [Dr.
Squiggles musical robots](https://www.uio.no/ritmo/english/projects/dr-
squiggles/index.html), and the [Self-playing
guitars](https://www.uio.no/ritmo/english/projects/self-playing-guitars/), to
work on interactions between groups of humans and machines.
We are now looking for a PhD fellow to continue developing and testing our
existing systems or to develop a new multi-agent system. The PhD fellow will
be affiliated with the [Interaction and Robotics
cluster](https://www.uio.no/ritmo/english/research/interaction-
robotics/index.html).
The focus of the proposed project should be on musical interactions based on
rhythmic processes. This could be based on rhythm synchronization, adaptation,
entrainment, and prediction. We are particularly interested in projects that
employ bio-inspired, or psychology-inspired artificial intelligence methods.
The developed platforms could be used in real-life experiments, public
installations, and performances. All applications must include a [research

Postdoctoral Fellow: Deporting Foreigners: Contested Norms in International
Practice (NORMS) ref 208420 |
The fellowship is part of the project [“Deporting Foreigners: Contested Norms
in International Practice
(NORMS)”](https://www.samfunnsforskning.no/english/projects/deporting-
foreigners-contested-norms-in-internatio/), which is funded by the UTENRIKS
programme of the Research Council of Norway (2021-2024). NORMS is an
international research project with partner institutions in Norway, the
Netherlands and Ethiopia, led by Senior Researcher Erlend Paasche at the
Norwegian Institute for Social Research. The Postdoctoral Fellow’s contact
person at ARENA will be Research Professor Helene Sjursen.
Deportation of irregular migrants and rejected asylum seekers is widely known
to pit host states against these migrants, but deportation also pits host
states against these migrants’ origin states. Conceptualising this as a
conflict of interests, legal scholars and political scientists have focused on
the incentives and coercion used by the host state to elicit the rational
compliance of the origin state. In the NORMS project, we look at how state
agents from host and origin states alike seek to legitimise or de-legitimise
deportation, promoting competing norms in a contested policy field. We take a
practice-oriented and cross-country comparative approach to these norm
dynamics. The comparative design includes two host states (Norway and Sweden)
with differing policies and policy debates, as well as four distinct states of
origin (Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and Ethiopia). Complementing this analysis,
a Postdoctoral Fellow will examine norm dynamics at the supranational level
within the EU agency Frontex.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Classical Reception Studies (ref 207398) |
“Rome is our starting point and our point of reference,” Benito Mussolini
declared in 1922: “it is our symbol or, if you wish, our Myth”. Signs and
symbols of Rome were everywhere in Mussolini’s Italy, from the symbol of the
fasces to the ‘Roman’ salute. The ancient language of Rome, too, was part of
the Fascist ‘cult of Rome’. Apart from Dux and SPQR, Latin words, phrases, and
even short texts featured in, for instance, banners, stamps, and inscriptions
all over Italy. Mussolini himself exclaimed, in Latin: Civis Romanus sum (“I
am a Roman citizen”).
This project explores how and why Latin was deployed in Fascist propaganda.
While previous work has primarily focused on literary texts, the project will
specifically investigate the uses of Latin in Fascism’s material and visual
culture, including public spectacles, grand-scale exhibitions, and
architecture, as well as their ideological underpinning. The project also
compares Fascism’s use of Latin with the ways in which other ancient languages
and scripts (e.g., hieroglyphs and runes) have been used in other ideological
contexts elsewhere. Additionally, the project team makes the often difficult-
to-find heritage of Fascist Latin texts available in a scholarly responsible
way, developing further the online database Fascist Latin Texts.

**Description of the research project (ref.[2021MFP-
COFUND-16](https://www.sgr.urv.cat/cgi-
bin/programes/mfpcofund/detalles.cgi?conv=2021MFP-
COFUND-&ordre=16&idioma=ENG))**
_The idea of the project and where it sits within the state-of-the-art_
Renewable electricity can replace fossil fuels in many applications but not in
all of them such as in certain industrial applications. Moreover, the
extensive electrification would require costly grid upgrades and storage
solutions. Hydrogen would be an excellent complement to achieve the transition
towards a decarbonized economy. Hydrogen obtained using renewable energy
sources known as “Clean or Green hydrogen” has the potential to become an
important energy carrier in line with the most ambitious decarbonization
objectives set by the hydrogen strategy adopted by the European Union
Commission in July 2020.
Hydrogen can be used as fuel for power and industrial plants and mobility
applications (road vehicles, maritime shipping …), as feedstock in
biorefineries, building up bulk chemicals and other alternative sustainable
fuels and for short or inter-seasonal energy storage of highly intermittent
renewable energies. Moreover, it can be transported and distributed using the
existing natural gas networks.
The handling and storage of hydrogen for the transport and distribution
networks can be done by compression, liquefaction, absorbed in metal hydrides,
liquid organic carriers or ammonia among others. Liquid Organic Hydrogen
Carriers (LOHC) are suggested as a promising storage solution thanks to its
high-density storage medium in which hydrogen is loaded/unloaded using a
catalyzed reversible exothermal/endothermal reaction. LOHC allows to use
existing fuel tanks in refueling stations being also non-toxic and hardly
flammable.
The full assessment of LOHC application in the highly complex and variable
whole hydrogen supply chain usually known as “hydrogen valleys” capturing the
synergetic effect of the heat released/absorbed during the storage process has
not been performed in detail because of the lack of suitable tools for this
challenging task.
_**Objectives of the project**_
The main objective of the project is the development of technical solutions
for the design of optimal cost-competitive configurations and energy
management strategies considering the storage/packing/unpacking for the use of
green hydrogen. To achieve this objective using a multidisciplinary approach,
the following specific objectives will be covered:
* Review and techno-economical comparison of green hydrogen production technologies and hydrogen storage technologies mainly focused on potential (or most promising) LOHC candidates.

crystals (18 months)
The context of this collaborative project is to design new multifunctional
spin crossover complexes combining molecular switching and fluorescence. The
aim is to reach a control of the switching parameters, and understanding the
interactions between the fluorescent motif and the spin crossover center. The
final objective is to propose new systems for magneto-optical switches and
molecular multi-sensors.
The post-doctoral project consists in 1) developing a luminescence experiment
on a single crystal diffractometer for probing simultaneously the optical
response and the structural response of a photoexcited crystal by laser light,
2) performing photocrystallographic measurements on luminescent spin crossover
crystals. In-house time-resolved millisecond experiments are also likely
planned. The project will be carried out in collaboration with Prof. Smail
Triki (CEMCA, Brest) and Prof. Kamel Boukheddaden (GEMAC, Versailles).
The recruited candidate must have a strong background in single crystal
diffraction of molecular solids, skills in optical measurements (UV-vis
absorption spectroscopy or photo-luminescence measurements) and interest in
experimental developments. He/she will mostly carry out crystallographic
experiments under laser light excitation.
All applications should be sent to Dr Sébastien Pillet
([sebastien.pillet@univ-lorraine.fr](mailto:sebastien.pillet@univ-

Modern societies produce and consume an enormous amount and variety of data on
a daily basis. Even though the availability of such data is crucial in most
areas of research, very often they contain personal information that cannot be
shared with third parties or released publicly without adequate protection to
ensure the fundamental right to privacy of the individuals they refer to.
Classic data protection algorithms are only meant for structured data and/or
require a significant amount of human intervention, which can hardly cope with
the amount of data to be protected. Therefore, there is a need for fully
automatic data protection supporting a variety of data types and formats.
On the other hand, modern machine learning has shifted from centralized
architectures, in which a single trusted server compiles all the data and
trains machine learning models, to decentralized settings, such as federated
learning or fully decentralized learning, in which the learning effort is
distributed among peers operating in a (typically open and untrusted) network.
Even though these decentralized architectures alleviate the learning
bottleneck at the server side, they are also more prone to suffer security and
privacy attacks, due to the untrustworthiness of the participants and of the
network itself. Due to the recentness of these decentralized machine learning
architectures, the state-of-the-art in privacy and security-enhancing methods
for these architectures is still in its infancy, and can barely cope with the
variety and complexity of privacy and security attacks that have emerged.
The goal of this thesis is to find two-way synergies between machine learning
and privacy-enhancing technologies. On the one hand, this implies leveraging
state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, such as transformers, embedding
models and generative adversarial networks, to automate data protection and,
in particular, the detection and masking of sensitive pieces of information in
semi-structured or unstructured sources, or the generation of privacy-
preserving synthetic data that faithfully represent the distribution of the
original data. On the other hand, privacy-enhancing methods can be designed or
adapted to decentralized machine learning scenarios, so that they are able to
detect and filter out malicious peers, and to prevent or disable the privacy
and security attacks those peers may orchestrate. The ultimate goal is to
reach a virtuous cycle by which privacy-enhancing methods bring strong privacy
and security to the decentralized learning of models that, in turn, can be
used to automatically protect sensitive personal information so that it can be
freely released for research or in response to open data initiatives.
**Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate:**
* Demonstrated previous experience in one or more of the following topics: Privacy, machine learning
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in Computer Science, Mathematics or similar subjects
* Being proficient in English language (written and oral) is required.
* Knowledge of programming languages as as Python or Java is required.
* Knowledge of machine learning frameworks as Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch or Apache MXNet is highly recommended
* Interpersonal skills and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team are recommended. |

**Description of the research project (ref.[2021MFP-
COFUND-18](https://www.sgr.urv.cat/cgi-
bin/programes/mfpcofund/detalles.cgi?conv=2021MFP-
COFUND-&ordre=18&idioma=ENG))**
This project is part of the Research Challenge "Health, demographic change and
well-being" of the Spanish Strategy for Science and Technology and Innovation
(RTI2018-097124-B-I00). This is a prospective longitudinal study, called
EPINED II, which evaluates a representative sample of schoolchildren from all
the regions of the province of Tarragona of two age groups (4-5 years and
10-11 years) that were detected as risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These schoolchildren and
other group without risk were clinical and cognitive evaluated and DSM-5
diagnosis of ASD and ADHD were performed. This first part of the research
(EPINED) allowed to obtain the epidemiology of both disorders of the
neurodevelopment (NDD) in non-clinical population. The current project aims to
investigate the clinical evolution of the children NDD diagnosed, but also of
the children with subclinical syndrome, with risk and controls without risk.
We have observed an increasing prevalence of these disorders, as has been
showed in other countries. The ASD and the ADHD affect the subject from the
first stages of life, persist in their development and affect their quality of
life while they produce a significant emotional, social and economic impact on
their families. Multidisciplinary knowledge of the factors that help us
predict the clinical course of NDD is very important to guide detection (in
the educational or family setting) and early and specific intervention, and
thus reduce the dysfunctional effect of these disorders. The results obtained
will be useful in the elaboration of clinical protocols and in the development
of preventive interventions that favor the well-being of society in general.
The general objective of the EPINED-II project is to investigate clinical,
cognitive, biological, psychosocial and environmental predictors of the
evolution of NDD by prospectively monitoring a sample of the school population
(representative of the province of Tarragona) without risk of ASD or ADHD and
at risk or with a diagnosis of these disorders in two evolutionary stages,
which were extensively evaluated in the EPINED project.
**Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate**
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: Child clinical psychology
* Language skills: English and Spanish
* Specific Software skills: SPSS or other data processing programs
* Other skills: Psychological experience with children and their families, research experience
* Personality traits: Ability to work in a group, share with other researchers |

Doctoral Research Fellowship in Asia area studies (ref 208614) |
In the Strongmen of Asia project we closely investigate a set of more or less
democratically elected strongmen – including presently ruling, fledgling, or
former strongmen. The aim is to compare and understand a political style
increasingly dominant in South and Southeast Asian electoral democracies. This
strongmen style will be explored through a number of methodologies, including
fieldwork, online ethnography and media analysis of original language sources.
The style will be explored through cross-cutting themes, including media
dynamics (new media, fake news, social media, conspiracy theories), ideas of
popular sovereignty (e.g. religious authority, nationalism, identity politics)
or sense of crisis (alienation, resentment, or threat – e.g. from abroad).

PhD Research Fellowship to examine different groups of war children in the
European context (ref 209029) |
Scholars with an interdisciplinary orientation are invited to apply for a
position for a Research Fellowship as a PhD Candidate at the Centre for Gender
Research at the University of Oslo. The successful applicant will work on the
European Research Council Consolidator grant project ‘[Innocent Children or
Security Threats? European Children Born of War
(EuroWARCHILD)](https://www.stk.uio.no/english/research/projects/eurowarchild/)”.
It is preferable with candidates with a background in social science studies
with knowledge of and experience with qualitative interview analyses. However,
scholars in law and/or humanities may also be considered depending on the fit
of the project description with the aims and methodologies of the EuroWARCHILD
project. The appointment is for 3 years.
The PhD scholar will be part of the sub-study of children fathered by Red Army
soldiers with German mothers in Germany during and after WW II. This entails
gathering new interview data, as well as gathering and analyzing existing
documents about this group of war children in Germany. Further, the PhD
scholar is expected to take part in theory development and inter-generational
analyses in the overarching project with the rest of the project team. The PhD
study can be framed in different ways, but must include the elements outlined
in the study of children fathered by Red Army soldiers with German mothers in

PhD Position on Energy Systems Modeling – Modelling electricity consumers’
decision making processes in the adoption of distributed energy resources and
the provision of flexibility |
Our energy system is undergoing drastic changes in an aim towards
decarbonization. We face rapidly increasing shares of intermittent renewable
energy sources (RES) like wind and solar photovoltaics. This transition
requires fundamental innovations to guarantee security of supply and system
stability. The participation of low voltage flexibility can in this regard
become an important provider of long-and short term system services.We have a
fully funded PhD position available, within the project “ALEXANDER -
Accelerating low voltage flexibility participation in a grid safe manner”,
granted by the federal Energy Transition Fund.
The focus of this PhD within this project is on the identification and
modelling of heterogeneous consumer preferences and potential non-rational
decision making processes. With these models we aim to capture a.o.
subjective, heterogeneous consumer preferences in the context of both
individual and collective flexibility concepts or the adoption of distributed
energy resources. The models support the development of a framework to assess
both investment and flexibility provision of low-voltage flexibility
providers. We aim to integrate the individual preference models into game-
theoretic models, which are able to capture interactions within a collective
flexibility organization (e.g. a community), while relying on innovative tools
and principles from cooperative and non-cooperative game theory. Finally, we
aim to assess the implications of emerging individual and collective behavior
of low-voltage users on system balancing and adequacy.
The PhD candidate can start from existing energy systems models and dedicated
expertise available in the research group, and will collaborate with other
research group members. The PhD candidate will be supervised by prof. Erik
Delarue & Dr. Kenneth Bruninx (ESIM), and by prof. Guido Pepermans (Faculty of
Economics and Business) |

Professor Computer Science: Declarative methods for cognitive robotics |
Research
You will develop a research program of international level in cognitive
robotics. The context of cognitive robotics offers you various opportunities,
which will give you the space to develop your own profile based on your own
experience and interests. Amongst others, but not limited to:
* Development of a **functional control system** for robots that eliminates the shortcomings aforementioned: steps have already been taken within the international research community, but the breakthrough has not yet occurred.
* Application and deepening of **functional reactive programming**. This approach allows asynchronous data streams of various types of data and various sources to be processed efficiently and elegantly, something that robots must increasingly be able to do.
* Development of application software using declarative programming languages. This can be done both in the form of generic functional programming languages as well as in the form of **domain-specific languages** (DSL).
* Application of hybrid programming forms such as **probabilistic** or **differentiable programming**. Here, a program is partly manually coded, and partly learned. This allows seamless integration of model-based approaches with recent developments such as deep learning.
The focus of the applicant should be on the development of robotic software
(systems), with industrial valorisation in mind. Within ACRO and DTAI many
theoretical concepts are studied and developed with great potential towards
concrete applications. However, often a lot of additional research is needed
to integrate and implement these concepts into commercially usable robots. You
can respond to this, but the selected candidate is also expected to bring in
own expertise and build a network of companies in symbiosis with the other
members of ACRO and DTAI. You will build this network of companies for the
valorisation of research results and to carry out industrial services, with
the aim of strengthening industrial innovation.
You engage in targeted scientific research, resulting in PhD’s and
publications that meet international standards and lead to broad international
recognition.
As part of your research programme, you develop international partnerships,
within the academic world as well as with industrial partners.
You acquire competitive funding, both project-based government funding as well
as industrial funding.
You strive for excellence and thus contribute to the reputation of the
research group and the faculty.

Post-Doctoral position (18 months) - Sensitivity analysis of the INRA 2018
feeding system for Ruminants |
_Research unit_
[UMR1213 Herbivores](https://umrh-
bioinfo.clermont.inrae.fr/Intranet/web/UMRH/en) is a joint research unit
associating
[INRAE](../../../../../../rbaumont/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/AppData/Local/Microsoft/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/SFPHXBWT/Inrae)
and [VetAgroSup](http://www.vetagro-sup.fr/). It is situated in Theix, near
Clermont-Ferrand, in the Center of France, in one of the main mountain
agricultural regions in Europe. UMRH employs about 120 permanent staff and 80
temporary staff and students, and is connected with facilities in 3 locations
in Auvergne (Herbipole experimental Unit). UMRH conducts research on cattle
and sheep, and their production systems. The Unit has a strong expertise on
digestion and CH4 emissions, animal welfare, feeds value, and product
qualities. Its work contributes to the design of sustainable farming systems
for herbivores that seek to reconcile production efficiency, product quality
and socio-economic viability with environmental protection and valuation, and
animal welfare. Although mainly located at UMRH (Clermont-Ferrand-Theix), the
work will be done in strong collaboration with other INRAE units, mainly UMR
Pegase (Rennes) but also UMR MoSAR (Paris) and UMR Selmet (Montpellier).
_Context_
The model of the INRA 2018 feeding system for ruminants
() improves the estimation of
animal responses to diets and proposes new predictions. The system allows
various rationing strategies to be considered by seeking compromises between
different objectives, i.e. milk and meat production, management of body
reserves, efficiency of protein use…(). It
also allows evaluating various other responses of the animal to the diet
supplies (e.g. N and CH4 emissions into the environment, risk of acidosis,
product composition). These advances were possible for a part because the
estimation of the different nutrient supplies by the diet was improved. The
reference methods for estimating nutrient supply require the use of animals
with permanent digestive cannulas (rumen and/or duodenum) to insert nylon bags
and monitor the degradation of incubated feed ("in sacco" methods). With a
view to stopping the use of this practice in the short term, the Alterfi
project was launched by the INRAE PHASE Division.
Alternative laboratory methods are currently being developed, with the aim
that they may eventually replace in sacco methods. At the same time, it is
essential to assess the necessary degree of accuracy (or acceptable
inaccuracy) on these feed value parameters to ensure sufficient accuracy in
the estimation of animal responses to diets, compared to measurements on
experimental facilities and/or observation on farms. This work will make it
possible to assess alternatives to in sacco measurements in the feeding
system.
_Objectives and work program of the post-doctoral fellow_
You will perform sensitivity analyses of the different animal responses to
uncertainty in the estimation of feed values. You will have the opportunity to
train (or develop his knowledge) on the INRA 2018 feeding system, including
both estimation of feed values and animal’s responses to diets. You will use a
high throughput simulation application allowing to test the sensitivity of the
model to the uncertainties on feed values, on a wide range of nutritional
scenarios. You will develop datasets required to the tests (enter of the
model), and will thus interpret the output of the simulations. This will be
done in strong interaction with the different researchers involved in the
development of the INRA 2018 system in Theix, Rennes, Paris and Montpellier.
The work will first be focused on dairy cows, then on beef cattle, and lastly
on small ruminants. You will write a scientific publication based on the main
results of this work.

PhD Condensed matter physics – Electronic devices physics |
This project is part of the Vertigan project of Labex Ganext. It is an inter-
laboratory collaboration between the Institut des Nanotechnologies de Lyon
(INL), the Ampère laboratory and the Charles Coulomb laboratory (L2C). The PhD
student will also collaborate with the laboratories in charge of epitaxial
growth (CHREA) and technology (CEA-LETI).
At the Ampère laboratory, the work will be followed by Camille Sonneville
(associated professor) and Dominique Planson (Professor), at the INL the
supervisory team will consist of Georges Brémond (professor) and Jean-Marie
Bluet (professor), and at the L2C Sandrine Juillaguet (associated professor)
and Sylvie Contreras (Research Officer) will follow the work.
The production and sustainable management of energy are societal issues of
prime importance. Today, the development of renewable energies (wind,
photovoltaics...) or the deployment of electric vehicles promote a direct
current distribution of energy, hence the growing demand for high voltage (HV)
and / or high temperature converters. In this context of electricity transport
in DC, the rise in voltage of the active components is essential in order to
reduce the number of components and therefore to limit losses. Large bandgap
semiconductors are a solution to achieve drastic performance improvement in
power components, limited to date by the restricted properties of Silicon (Si)
for these applications. The most promising materials are gallium nitrides
(GaN). Compared to silicon, the main benefits brought by these materials are a
good operation over a wide temperature range, a high critical electric field
and a high electron drift speed leading to the capability to withstand both
very high voltages, very high temperatures and to operate relatively at high
frequencies [1,2,3].
The objective of the project, in which this thesis work is part, is to develop
vertical GaN-based power components aiming to reach the theoretical limits of
the material in terms of breakdown voltage and current in the on state. Toward
this end, technological barriers such as, for example, current collapse [4] or
the understanding of breakdown mechanisms will have to be overcome. For this,
a physical characterization of the components is necessary in order to
validate each step of their manufacture and operation.
The main objective of this thesis therefore includes two main parts 1) to
develop methods of characterization of GaN components by coupling physical
characterization methods: Deep-Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS), micro-
Raman, photoluminescence (PL) and micro-OBIC (Optical Beam Induced Current).
2) Find links between electrical characteristics of the transistor and
physical characteristics of the samples using test vehicles that will be
integrated into all our manufacturing masks.
Looking further, this project will characterize GaN components in order to
better understand the mechanisms at the origin of electrical limitations with
the ultimate goal of improving them from a voltage resistance point of view,
as well as current collapse and robustness.

PhD Position Climate Adaptation and Health |
Human greenhouse gas emissions are causing the climate to change at
unprecedented rates and this change is partly irreversible. Especially in
densely populated urban areas the negative health effects become more and more
noticeable. Heath waves cause death rates to rise and car emissions cause lung
diseases etc. Measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to counteract
the effects of climate change can reduce health risks and enhance population
health and well being. For example, green spaces may reduce heat stress and
prevent flooding but also improve air quality, promote healthy behaviour and
social interaction, and reduce stress and anxiety. Yet, the size and type of
green space required in urban environments to achieve meaningful effects on
physical, mental and social well being is not known.
Your research will contribute to understanding of these complex mechanisms,
specifically in the context of vulnerable urban areas. You will combine the
expertise of different scientific fields (e.g., policy, health and behavioural
sciences, engineering, economics) and of local practitioners and citizens to
develop models. You will test how these models support design and evaluation
climate adaptation measures that contribute to healthy neighbourhoods and
local citizens’ well being. The Green Village at TUDelft campus and urban
areas in Rotterdam and Dordrecht will be case studies.
You will join the Water Management department at TU Delft. The Water Resources
section within this department focuses on drought, precipitation, floods and
how water behaves in the atmosphere and beneath or on the Earth's surface. You
will closely collaborate with the faculties of Architecture and the faculty of
Technology, Policy Analysis and Management and with relevant research groups
at Erasmus University Rotterdam and Leiden University Medical Centre. |

Two PhD positions: Empirical Research on Plant Growth to constrain Land
Ecosystem Models (1.0 FTE) |
Understanding the role of terrestrial ecosystems in removing carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere, and how this is influenced by temperature, CO2, nutrients
and soil microbial communities is essential to predict future changes in the
Earth’s climate. Ecosystem and Earth System models (ESMs) have been developed
to mimic these functions. However, large uncertainties remain in our effort to
simulate plant growth. The aim of the overarching LEMONTREE project is to
develop a next-generation model of the terrestrial biosphere and its
interactions with the carbon and nutrient cycles, water cycle and climate,
based on firm theoretical and empirical foundations. The two PhD positions at
Utrecht University will contribute to the LEMONTREE project by focusing on
empirical research on quantifying the effects of temperature, CO2, nutrients
and soil microbes on plant growth, leaf gas exchange, and the time scale of
acclimation by photosynthesis traits. Analysing datasets and linking data to
model development is also an important component of the position.
LEMONTREE consortium:
The Land Ecosystem Models based On New Theory, obseRvations, and ExperimEnts

**Description of the research project (ref.[2021MFP-
COFUND-19](https://www.sgr.urv.cat/cgi-
bin/programes/mfpcofund/detalles.cgi?conv=2021MFP-
COFUND-&ordre=19&idioma=ENG))**
The concept of the project is to develop an electrochemical platform for the
detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with antibiotic
resistance. As a model system, rifampicin resistance in Mycobacterium
tuberculosis will be used. The sequencing of the whole genome of Mycobacterium
tuberculosis revealed that 95 to 98% of all rifampicin-resistant strains is
related to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), located in the 81-bp RIF-
resistance determining region (RRDR) of the beta subunit of the RNA polymerase
(rpoB) gene There is a mature need for reliable, cost-effective and rapid
tests for the detection of the clinically relevant mutations/SNPs conferring
rifampicin resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The objective of the
project is to develop an approach for the electrochemical detection of solid-
phase primer elongation using ferrocene-labelled dNTPs, for the unequivocal
identification of SNPs.
The motivation for this work is to develop a generic platform for the
electrochemical detection of SNPs, which could be exploited in a portable
device for the multiplexed identification of SNPs at the point of need. To
date, many of the multiplexed SNP microarray platforms exploit fluorescence
detection with CCDs, which inherently require cooling and complex optics. We
are motivated to develop an alternative to fluorescence detection via the use
of electrochemical detection, compatible with handheld potentiostats such as
those used in glucometers, thus facilitating portability and cost-
effectiveness. Exploiting our previous knowledge in the development of
biosensors and in the use of redox-labelled nucleotides, we want to combine
this know-how to demonstrate a proof-of-concept for the cost-effective, rapid
and facile detection of SNPs, in a platform that could easily be expanded to
multiplexed detection with a plethora of niche applications.
In a first proof-of-concept, we will focused on the detection of a single SNP
associated with rifampicin resistance. Individual electrodes of an array will
be functionalised with thiolated primers identical with the exception of their
3’ terminal base. Following hybridisation with the target DNA containing the
SNP site to be interrogated, isothermal solid-phase primer elongation with
ferrocene labelled oligonucleotides should result in an unequivocal
identification of the SNP, even at low concentrations of target DNA. The work
will then be extended to the parallelised, multiplexed detection of SNPs, and
will detect all 11 SNPs in the 81-bp rpoB gene, and will then be further
extended to the detection of SNPs associated with iosazanid resistance. The
system will be validated using real samples from the London School of Hygiene
and Tropical Medicine, which have already been genotyped using next generation
sequencing. Once the platform has been demonstrated and validated, further
application such as advanced forensics will be explored.
**Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate**

Across the world psychiatry has increasingly become the preferred expert
system for dealing with experiences of suffering and distress. The rise of the
field of global mental health (GMH) contributed to this globalization. The
emergence of GMH generated strong tensions around the status of local
diagnosis and treatment practices, thus, reviving an old debate in psychiatry
about the universality or cultural specificity of mental disorders and their
treatment. The prohect examines how global biopsychiatry and local psychiatric
epistemologies interact. It articulates the local and the global levels and
reveals controversies as complex phenomena, depending both on the historical
and political context and on the relations between socially situated actors.
Controversies incorporate and are incorporated into local contexts and are put
to specific uses.
The general objective of the project is to examine the extent to which global
mental health initiatives appropriately address mental health challenges in
Latin America, with a focus on the role of culture in mental health. To that
end, it explores the historical roots, and the political and epistemological
aspects present in the discussion about cultural diversity and mental health,
and investigates experiences in public mental health that incorporate the
cultural dimension. The integration cultural diversity in mental health can
help describe and interpret the complexity of the issues involved in mental
health care in global times.
Current fieldwork is being conducted in Brazil. We are exploring the
challenges of developing GMH interventions within the Brazilian Universal
Health System (SUS) with special focus on the role of culture in GMH
initiatives and in public mental health care policies and practices in Brazil.
Cultural determinants are actively neglected in the mental health field by
local practitioners and policy-makers in the country. Cultural differences do
not constitute a relevant level of engagement with service users. We intend to
produce recommendations for innovations in mental health care that are
clinically effective, culturally and socially appropriate, and adapted to the
urban environment of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The project intends to extent
the examination of these issues to other countries in Latin America, such as
Chile, Argentina and Peru.
**Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate**
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology and/or related areas.
* Language skills: English proficiency
* Other skills: experience in research in mental health. |

Leadership in schools can generate dynamics of change that contribute to
social transformation, enabling the improvement of quality education for all,
in particular of vulnerable groups. Providing high-quality learning
environments requires the involvement of the whole community, from teachers to
students, families, volunteers and other educational agents. In this
framework, recent contributions on leadership focus on the relationship
between schools and surrounding communities. In this vein, dialogic leadership
and how very diverse members of the community exercise their leadership
through dialogue, show evidence about how dialogic leaders collaborate with
teachers, families and students to improve education. To achieve quality
education for all and based on the best scientific evidence, schools are not
alone and need more than ever, the involvement of the whole community to lead
change in dialogic ways.
This proposal aims to advance knowledge by analyzing and uncovering emerging
forms of leadership linked to dialogue and the involvement of diverse
educational agents in schools. Specifically, this project will focus on the
role of community participation in schools to identify dynamics of change
linked to dialogic leadership that generate impacts in schools and beyond. The
project has an interdisciplinary and intersectorial approach, involving
different stakeholders in the research process and benefiting from scientific
knowledge of different areas. Gender issues will be included throughout the
research process.
Candidates with a profile in education or related areas and highly motivated
to develop excellent research addressed to improve schools and communities are
suitable for this research line.
**The highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate are:**
* Demonstrated previous experience in one or more of the following topics: education, sociology, psychology, or any other scientific discipline that can be applied to educational research.
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: education, sociology, psychology or any other scientific discipline related to educational research.
* Language skills: advanced level in English, oral and written.
* Specific Software skills: no specific software skills required.
* Other skills: excellent communication skills and cooperation skills are required. Skills to work both independently and in a multidisciplinary team in a highly vibrant and stimulating learning environment.
* Personality traits: Strong motivation to do research with and for society, in collaboration with diverse stakeholders and end-users. Eagerness to attend the full training program as offered in the project and to actively contribute to the project aims and objectives. |

Pre-doc on SDN over satellite constellations & operative systems |
The **Space Communications Research Group** is investigating different
research lines related to the deployment of satellite networks. In particular,
the development of new communication protocols to integrate the concept of
Software Defined Networks (SDN) in satellite constellations becomes one of the
main research topics of the group.
Satellites are constrained systems regarding their resources (i.e. memory,
power, etc.) The usage of these resources becomes thus important for the
survival of the satellite itself and to achieve the goals of the mission. In
the case of telecommunications satellites, these resources are directly
associated with the capability to serve end-users. For all of this, it becomes
important to properly and optimally manage these resources. The application of
SDN in this new environment provides this capability by autonomously and
easily configuring virtual networks over satellite constellations. In
particular, this configuration shall allocate satellite resources for each
incoming data flow.
Previous research has proposed an architecture in which network controllers
are located on ground, and they constantly manage the network. Nevertheless,
this approach is limited by the long-configuration time and satellite
dynamics. Interconnected satellite constellations, also known as satellite
networks, are characterized by having an intermittent connectivity among the
satellites and the ground stations. Is this intermittent interaction that
cannot ensure that ground stations may have constant visibility of the
satellites. A novel trend has centered on deploying these network controllers
in the satellites. This new approach reduces considerably the configuration
time of the network, but it must still face all the challenges associated with
the intermittent connectivity.
The candidate will investigate in this novel trend of deploying SDN over
satellite constellations locating the network controllers in the space. For
this reason, the candidate shall review and understand current technologies
that address this challenge, and extend it with novel approaches. The
developed solutions will constitute an embedded framework or operative system
to achieve this deployment.
As a summary, the tasks associated to this job are the following ones:
* Review the state of the art related to SDN over satellites and satellite networks
* Investigate in novel technologies to deploy SDN-satellites from ground segment
* Investigate in novel technologies to deploy SDN-satellites from space segment
* Design and implement a software framework for those novel concepts
* Publish the research results in conferences and Q1/Q2 journals

Geophysical characterization using optical fiber measurements |
Optical fiber measurements have proven to be useful to assess geophysical
near-surface parameters and to detect seismological events in newly accessible
regions (cities, ocean floor, highways...) by leveraging the existing fiber-
optic infrastructure. In particular, laser interferometry performed with DAS
systems (Distributed Acoustic Sensing) allows measuring the cable axial strain
related to passing seismo-acoustic waves, at any point along the cable and
over tens of kilometers of cable.
The goal of this Ph.D. project is to further develop and quantify the
potential of DAS technology for geophysical characterization of the shallow
subsurface.
The first part of the Ph.D. will be dedicated to the evaluation of optical
fiber measurements to provide a high-quality assessment of near-surface
geophysical parameters (i.e. geological layers imaging and shear wave
velocities). These data are of primary interest to evaluate local site effects
for seismic hazard assessment, detect potential blind faults, allow temporal
monitoring with fiber cables left in place. A first acquisition site will be
the area surrounding the Rouvière fault, responsible for the 2019 Le Teil
earthquake (Ardeche, France). This earthquake, characterized by a moment
magnitude of 4.9 and a local magnitude of 5.4, is the largest earthquake to
have occurred in metropolitan France for 16 years. The data acquired during
the Ph.D. will provide valuable information on the fault geometry at depth. A
second acquisition site will be in a CEA center which has been previously
characterized with standard geophysical methods. In both cases, the goal will
be to invert the geometry of the geological layers, to identify and
characterize the presence of faults, and to invert the geophysical parameters
of interest for seismic hazard assessment, such as shear wave velocity.
The second part of the Ph.D. concerns the ability of optical fiber
measurements to characterize seismological sources and the associated elastic
wave field. The main goal will be to extract the physical parameters of
seismic wave propagation along a branch of optical fiber for comparison with
traditional and calibrated seismic sensors. An active seismic experiment
(PREMISE2) was recently carried out in southeastern France in an underground
laboratory, the LSBB tunnel (Laboratoire Sous-terrain Bas Bruit,
__ ), in 2020. Multiple active shots were recorded both
with a 4 km long underground optical fiber and with traditional seismic
sensors. Different optical fiber cables and different coupling methodologies
were tested along the 4 km optical fiber. Furthermore, using a pre-installed
vertical fiber the Ph.D. student will be able to work on a 500 m aperture 3D
optical fiber sensor.
The Ph.D. is a joint program between the geophysical division of CEA in Paris
region and the Geoazur lab of University Côte d’Azur, in the south of France.
The candidate will spend the working time shared between the two institutions.
She/he will be part of a broader group working on optical fiber measurements
in Geoazur (Ph.D. students, Post-doctoral and senior researchers). This Ph.D.
includes some fieldwork for the geophysical acquisition campaigns in the pilot
sites The data of the PREMISE2 experiment are already acquired. Conferences
fees, visits to the different institutions, and fieldwork costs will be
supported by the CEA. |

Pre-doc on the integration of IoT technologies in satellite constellations |
The **Space Communications Research Group** is investigating different
research lines related to the deployment of satellite networks. In particular,
the development of new communication protocols to integrate Internet of Things
(IoT) technologies in satellite constellations becomes one of the main
research topics of the group.
Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) is becoming one of the relevant IoT technologies that
is being extended in different domains. Its application in satellite systems
is currently being discussed. These systems can provide global coverage and
ubiquitous services to terrestrial devices. One of the main challenges that
needs to be tackled is the intermittent connectivity. In particular, the
connection between ground devices and satellites is characterized by temporal
and intermittent contacts that challenges the deployment of this technology.
This intermittent connectivity forced to develop specific solutions. This
environment is more relevant in interconnected satellite constellations, also
known as satellite networks. These networks are composed of satellites that
are able to communicate between them. The contacts between satellites are also
intermittent and temporal, posing relevant challenges in the definition of
routes composed of satellites.
The candidate will investigate in this novel trend of NB-IoT in satellite
networks. For this reason, the candidate shall review and understand current
technologies that address this challenge, and extend it with novel approaches.
It is expected to develop solutions that could be deployed in future satellite
missions.
As a summary, the tasks associated to this job are the following ones:
\- Review the state of the art related to satellite networks, NB-IoT
satellites, and 5G core networks
\- Investigate in novel technologies to coordinate information among
satellites
\- Investigate in novel technologies in routing protocols for satellite

Research position to investigate on satellite-to-ground communication
protocols |
Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) is becoming one of the relevant IoT technologies that
is being extended in different domains. Its application in satellite systems
is currently being discussed. These systems can provide global coverage and
ubiquitous services to terrestrial devices. One of the main challenges that
needs to be tackled is the interaction between satellites and ground stations.
These interfaces are typically characterized by temporal connections in which
data transfer capacity is limited. Therefore, it is crucial to optimize those
contacts to transfer as much data as possible.
This temporality provokes the following constraints:
1\. Data cannot be transferred following ground techniques, like connection-
oriented ones
2\. Aprioritization of the data types (or operations) must be conducted to
properly use the contact
3\. Half duplex interfaces emphasizes this problem.
For this reason, the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS)
entity standardized different sat-to-ground protocols that considered these
challenges. These protocols were defined to interact with traditional
satellites (e.g. for Earth Observation), which generate data over a target
area and can be planned. In the context of the project, this situation may
conflict with NB-IoT data flows (e.g. user data, signaling, etc.), which were
not defined with those constraints. Therefore, it is important to evaluate how
the CCSDS standards match with these new data flows, and which extensions are
required to achieve this integration.
The candidate will investigate techniques for integrating NB-IoT data flows
with CCSDS standards. For this reason, the candidate shall review and
understand current technologies that address this challenge, and extend it
with novel approaches. It is expected to develop solutions that could be
deployed in future satellite missions.
As a summary, the tasks associated to this job are the following ones:
\- Review the state of the art related to CCSDS
\- Investigate in novel technologies to manage NB-IoT flow
\- Design and implement a software solution
\- Study the limitations and enhancements of the proposed solution
\- Publish the research results in conferences and Q1/Q2 journals

Research position to investigate mechanisms to ensure a policy defined by an
orchestrator for IoT satellites |
The Space Communications Research Group is investigating different research
lines related to the deployment of satellite networks. In particular, the
development of new communication protocols to integrate Internet of Things
(IoT) technologies in satellite constellations has become one of the main
research topics of the group.
Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) is becoming one of the relevant IoT technologies that
is being extended in different domains. Its application in satellite systems
is currently being discussed. These systems can provide global coverage and
ubiquitous services to terrestrial devices. One of the main challenges that
needs to be tackled is the orchestration of a satellite constellation that
provides this service. Satellite operations are commonly planned, and the
tasks are executed following a proper schedule. This scheduling must be
uploaded to the satellite which must respect it.
This schedule can be defined because a policy has been defined. This policy
must be aware of business, network and satellite perspectives. Therefore,
integrating all these domains requires an investigation of how to satisfy
these constraints. Additionally, satellite operations are deterministic, but
in this case, novel sensors can manage to interact with the satellite.
Therefore, it is important that once the policy is determined, the satellite
must have a minimum autonomy level to determine what to do when those
unexpected events appear.
The candidate will investigate how to define and deploy this policy in this
context. For this reason, the candidate shall review and understand current
technologies that address this challenge, and extend it with novel approaches.
The developed solutions will constitute an embedded framework or operative
system to achieve this deployment.
As a summary, the tasks associated to this job are the following ones:
\- Review the state of the art related to QoS in NB-IoT context, business
approaches, and satellite resource constraints
\- Investigate in novel technologies to apply autonomously QoS in satellites
\- Design and implement a software framework for those novel concepts
\- Publish the research results in conferences and Q1/Q2 journals

Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) is becoming one of the relevant IoT technologies that
is being extended in different domains. Its application in satellite systems
is currently being discussed. These systems can provide global coverage and
ubiquitous services to terrestrial devices. One of the main challenges that
needs to be tackled is the orchestration of a satellite constellation that
provides this service. Satellite operations are commonly planned, and the
tasks are executed following a proper schedule. In this case, this schedule
must include interaction with IoT sensors, which could be random or periodic
behavior. The definition of algorithm that is able to define this schedule is
crucial for the survivability of the constellation.
The candidate will investigate techniques for constellation planification in
order to integrate IoT operations. For this reason, the candidate shall review
and understand current technologies that address this challenge, and extend it
with novel approaches. It is expected to develop solutions that could be
deployed in future satellite missions.
As a summary, the tasks associated to this job are the following ones:
\- Review the state of the art related to satellite planification and
optimization problems
\- Investigate in novel technologies to orchestrate satellite with IoT
operations
\- Investigate in optimization techniques/models to be integrated in this
scenario
\- Design and implement a software solution that is able to manage this
constellation
\- Study the limitations and enhancements of the proposed solution
\- Publish the research results in conferences and Q1/Q2 journals

Junior 5G Researcher / Engineer |
The Mobile Wireless Internet team is participating in a project developing new
technologies for next generation mobile networks that integrate space
communication segments. This project involves a satellite operator with an
ambitious plan to launch a LEO satellite constellation in the coming years.
The selected researcher will work in a team that is developing a next
generation mobile core network architecture, which can enable scenarios where
the base station (e/gNB) is not always connected to the core network segment.
This is an important requirement in LEO constellations, where the base station
included in the regenerative satellite payload does not always have visibility
with the ground segment.
The researcher will work evaluating and modifying an existing open source core
network project called magma (), developed
originally by Facebook, and which has now become an official Linux Foundation
project. This technology has a tremendous support in the industry and is now
being expanded in different directions.
The selected candidate will be part of the MWI team that includes other junior
and senior R&D engineers working in the same project. The work will include:
* Deploying testbeds including magma used to demonstrate the proposed concepts
* Study and benchmark the capabilities included in magma
* Developing new extensions to magma to address the project requirements
* Interacting with the other team R&D engineers that develop the enhanced magma solution

Call for Research Engineer in Image Analysis and Machine Learning-based
Software development |
Simula Research Laboratory offers **a two-year research engineer position for
development of AI-based image analysis software for digitalizing
biostratigraphic analysis.** The position is available as a part of the
nationally-funded innovation project **“AI augmented analysis in digital
biostratigraphy - palynology”** in collaboration with Applied Petroleum
Technology. The workplace will be at Simula’s new offices downtown Oslo.
**Project Description**
Biostratigraphic analysis is an obligatory requirement for all exploration
wells drilled in the offshore Norwegian Sector by the Norwegian Petroleum
Directorate. Biostratigraphy, using microfossils to date rocks, is used to
help understand the sub-surface geology and to correlate reservoir sections in
wells both within fields and on a larger regional scale.
Although biostratigraphic data was part of the digital revolution in the
industry of the 1980’s, the actual study of the microfossils with a microscope
and prepared glass slides has changed very little. Recent research in medical
pathology have shown the potential of applying AI and image processing in
microscopic analysis to improve the recognition and quantification of diseased
tissues. Considering some similarities between diseased cells and
microfossils, this project aims to translate the results to biostratigraphic
analysis.
In this project, Simula is responsible for development of AI-based software
for digitalizing biostratigraphic analysis. In particular, the tasks will be
related to development of tools and methods for accurate object detection,
image segmentation, clustering and multi-class classification of different
microfossil types. The final deliverable is a validated and tested software
library with accurate image processing algorithms.
**Candidate Profile**

RESEARCHER-1-FAV 04 - Multiscale modelling of heterogeneous materials and
optimization for metamaterial design |
**Research Focus:**
The research position in the field of multiscale modeling in continuum
mechanics with multiphysics phenomena focusses on using various homogenization
methods to describe behaviour of complex heterogeneous structures at several
scales, regarding multiphysical interactions.
Research topics are quite broad aimed at providing modelling and computational
tools which support and stimulate further research in A) metamaterial design
and/or B) tissue biomechanics.
Topic A) Metamaterial properties of locally periodic structures constituted by
conventional and ElectroActive (EA) materials are to be explored on the
virtual basis of mathematical models. The controllability due to electroactive
components and geometrical layouts alternating in time and space provide
qualitatively new features to be distinguished from standard passive
metamaterials.
The main research issues for the candidate comprise deriving effective
(macroscopic) models by upscaling periodic, or quasi-periodic EA composites,
efficient multi-scale numerical methods for simulations, virtual testing and
optimization of structural parameters and control.
Topic B) Modelling of highly perfused soft tissues, namely the liver, in the
context of fluid-structure interaction in a porous medium constituted by the
hierarchically organized vasculature. Issues of acoustic wave propagation and
transport in such media are of a special interest, being targeted to
development improved diagnostics supported by patient-specific models based on
microstructure and clinical data obtained using available diagnostic methods
(CT and MRI perfusion tests).
The candidate can focus on theoretical aspects related to modelling based on
homogenization techniques, development of numerical methods for efficient high
performance computing, and optimization (control and parameter
identification).
Selected researcher will strengthen an existing top-quality research team of
the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. Their main tasks will be to engage
in the activities of the team of experts under the guidance of a mentor and to
fulfill tasks specified by the R&D activity plan. Their own scientific work
will include publication of R&D results in prestigious foreign impact
journals, participation in major conferences, obtaining applied results,
involvement in national and international research projects, and organization
of the professional life at the workplace (seminars, conferences).

Post-doc Position Porous Gallium Nitride Layers |
**TU Wien** is located in the heart of Europe, in a cosmopolitan city of great
cultural diversity. Our identity as a research university means that we build
our reputation through our research. TU Wien combines basic and applied
research and research-oriented teaching at the highest level.
**The group of Prof. Ulrich Schmid at the Institute of Sensor and Actuator
Systems invites applications for a 1.5-year Post-doc position (starting
October 1, 2021) in the field of photoelectrochemically porosification of wide
band gap semiconductors.**
**The Project**
Due to outstanding properties in comparison to silicon (Si) such as a large
bandgap of EG = 3.2 eV ensuring a high electric breakdown strength of about
3.3 MV/cm (Si: 0.3 MV/cm) as well as a high electron mobility gallium nitride
(GaN) is regarded as one of the most promising wide band gap semiconductors
for future high frequency and high power electronic devices. Besides these
well-known material parameters, advanced device architectures request novel
approaches for fabrication. In the recent years, electrochemically porosified
GaN emerged as promising technology to reduce interface strain and to
integrate optical devices with enhanced performance (e.g. LEDs, lasers, Bragg
mirrors) into GaN substrates. Furthermore, the surface to volume ratio could
be increased for chemical sensor applications as well as the realization of
membranes lifted-off from the GaN mother substrate was demonstrated. To
exploit the full potential of photoelectrochemically porosified GaN layers, a
deeper understanding on pore formation and pore geometry is needed which we
want to address in this project. For more information about the project please
contact the principal investigator Prof. Ulrich Schmid

IPVF PhD Thesis: Fabrication of III-V Materials by PECVD |
**IPVF IN BRIEF**
Become an actor of the Energy Transition by joining a team driven by
innovation and impact to address today’s most decisive challenges.
**IPVF** – Institut Photovoltaïque d’Île-de-France, is a global Research,
Innovation and Education center, which mission is to **accelerate energy
transition through science & technology.**
Gathering industrial PV leaders (EDF, TotalEnergies, Air Liquide, Horiba and
Riber) and world-renowned academic research organizations (CNRS, Ecole
Polytechnique), multi-disciplinary and international IPVF teams conduct
research for clean energy technologies.
Supported by the French State, IPVF is labelled Institute for Energy
Transition (ITE).
_IPVF at a glance:_
* _An ambitious Scientific and Technological Program (6 programs divided into 24 work packages): from tandem solar cell technologies to economy & market assessment, state-of-the art characterization, photocatalysis and breakthrough concepts._
* _A state-of-the-art technological platform (8,000 m²): more than 100 cutting-edge equipments worth €30M, located in cleanrooms (advanced characterization, materials deposition, prototypes for fabrication, modelling…)._
* _A high-standard Education program (M.S. and PhD students)._
**JOB CONTEXT**
The **PhD position** will be carried out in the frame of **IPVF Program III**
related to **III-V on silicon tandem solar cells**. The **main objective** of
the project is to **develop novel low-cost methods to fabricate III-V
materials** based on plasma-assisted (PECVD) growth in a newly designed
reactor.
While III-V materials are leading solar efficiency records, they only share a
small part of the PV market due to their cost. The aim of PECVD epitaxy is to
**demonstrate the feasibility of GaAs epitaxial growth** at low temperature
and low-pressure PECVD in order to achieve a higher utilization of the gas
precursors and therefore **reduce the materials costs**. Moreover,
lowtemperature deposition should mitigate issues of thermal stress taking
place in MOCVD.
**More information:** IPVF Research Program involving this PhD student
position: [https://ipvf.fr/stephane-collin-introducing-ipvf-programme-3-low-
cost-ta...](https://ipvf.fr/stephane-collin-introducing-ipvf-programme-3-low-
cost-tandem-iii-v-cell-on-silicon/).
**MAIN MISSIONS**
The candidate will directly report to the Programs Deputy Director of IPVF and
will have world-renowned PhD thesis Director and co-Director.
She/he will integrate a dynamic and talented team driven by innovation and
results.
The **missions** of the PhD student will be:
* **Contribute to the development of the PECVD reactor:**
PECVD epitaxial growth of III-V materias was demonstrated in the 1980’s. Since
then the technique has not been further studied despite of its numerous
advantages. A new PECVD reactor has been specially designed at LPICM. The
candidate will contribute to the first tests and develop/improve the reactor.
* **Demonstrate the feasibility of growing III-V materials by PECVD:**
Deposition GaAs layers on GaAs substrates (homoepitaxy) and characterize their
optoelectronic properties and optimize the process conditions (substrate
temperature, pressure, gas flow rates, RF power...) in order to produce GaAs
films with properties compatible with solar cells. For that purpose, the
materials produced by MBE for instance will be used as internal benchmark. The
process conditions will be optimized by combining studies of the plasma phase
as well as of the films properties. For the film properties, the student will
rely of optical (ellipsometry, IR, absorption), structural (Raman spectroscopy
and X-ray diffraction) and electronic properties (photoluminescence, Hall
effect...).
* **Fabrication of GaAs solar cells:**
The epitaxial GaAs layers produced by PECVD will be implemented as the
absorber layer in GaAs solar cells, having doped layers produced by MBE (from
IPVF). These cells will allow to qualify the properties of the materials in a
functional device.
She/he will work in close relationship with highly qualified scientists,
specialized in III-V materials and process development. This environment gives
the PhD candidate many opportunities to tackle this project challenge and gain
experience.

PhD (H/F). ANR Project SulFive. The chemistry of fluoro organic SF5 molecules. |
ANR Sulfive 2021-2025 project based at UMR 6014 COBRA in Mont Saint Aignan in
partnership with Dr Vincent Bizet of UMR 7042 LIMA at the University of
Strasbourg (Mulhouse campus).
The pentafluorosulfanyl group is a truly new functional groups introduced to
organic chemists in the last decades. The paucity of hypervalent fluorinated
sulfur-containing molecules is the result of unfavourable factors that are the
poor availability of reagents for the introduction of the SF5 group, the lack
of activation modes for SF5Cl or the notoriously inertness SF6, the absence of
generalized methods to access λ6-pentafluorosulfanes, and thus a poor
availability of SF5-containing building blocks, specifically aliphatic SF5
ones. We propose several levers of innovation to tackle the major bottlenecks
that impede the bright future of SF5 chemistry. We hypothesize that new
activation modes together with the design of safe reagents can be used to
generate an extensive portfolio of novel SF5 compounds (WP1). Successful
implementation of this fundamental research will create a sound foundation for
the
asymmetric construction of novel chiral non-racemic molecular architectures
(WP2). |

\- Sample preparation (mechanical and electrochemical polishing, focused ion
beam machining)
\- Characterization of microstructures (Atom probe tomography)
\- data analysis and interpretation
\- Participation to progress meetings
\- Contribution to the drafting of the deliverables
\- Writing scientific articles
Pressurized water reactor vessel steels are made of low alloy bainitic steels.
During the operation of the reactor, this steel is irradiated with neutrons,
which causes an evolution of its microstructure (in particular, the formation
of a high density of nanometric solutes clusters) causing a degradation of its
mechanical properties (hardening and embrittlement). One of the objectives of
the European STRUMAT program is to evaluate the influence of the nominal
composition of steels on the evolution of microstructures under irradiation.
For this, different neutron irradiated steels will be analyzed by Atom Probe
Tomography at GPM. The results will be compared with those obtained by the
project partners using complementary techniques (electron microscopy, small-
angle neutron scattering, mechanical tests). The successful candidate will
conduct atom probe experiments (sample preparation, analysis and data
processing), present the results during European program progress meetings and
contribute to the drafting of deliverables.
The Material Physics Group (GPM, UMR 6634) is a laboratory from the University
of Rouen Normandie (URN), the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS)
and INSA Rouen Normandie. It is located on the Sciences and Engineering Rouen
Normandie Campus in Saint-Etienne du Rouvray. The GPM is structured into 5
departments:
\- Scientific Instrumentation,
\- Metallurgy, Microstructure, Mechanics
\- Functional materials and nanostructures
\- Disordered systems and polymers
\- Thematic openings and Innovations
It brings together 160 staff including 60 Associate professors, professors and
Researchers, 30 Technical and Administrative staff and 70 PhD students,
postdocs and internship students.
The recruited researcher will be attached to the "Metallurgy, Microstructure,
Mechanics" department which includes 4 thematic teams:
\- Nuclear materials
\- Phase transformations Microstructures
\- Multi-scale modeling of phase transformations
\- Mechanics of materials
He will work in the "Nuclear Materials" team. This team is working on
understanding the aging mechanisms (thermal or irradiation aging) of materials
used in current reactors (generation II), on the development of new materials
for next reactor generations (Generation IV, fusion) and on the relationships
between microstructures and mechanical properties. It now brings together 3
Associate professors / professors, 5 PhD students and is supported by 8
research engineers, study engineers and technicians. |

58658: Physicist - Photon sources for optical quantum computing |
**Area of research:**
Scientific / postdoctoral posts,Other
**Job description:**
The DLR Institute for Optical Sensor Systems develops, tests and uses optical
sensors and spectroscopic techniques for various applications. In the
Department of Terahertz and Laser Spectroscopy, work is being done on the
development of customized optical systems with the aim of using them for
laboratory analysis and for remote sensing of extraterrestrial objects inside
and outside our galaxy. Another focus of the work is to adapt suitable laser
spectroscopy methods for future robotic missions to explore our solar system.
We offer a full or part-time position in the team working on Physical
Foundations of IT Security within the Terahertz and Laser Spectroscopy
department. Our research interests include fundamental methods and
technologies as well as applications of optical quantum technologies. The
former include solid-state quantum light sources and photonic quantum
memories. The latter include repeater-based quantum communications, optical
quantum computing, and also optical neuromorphic computing architectures for
artificial intelligence.
Your work will cover the development of modular, narrow-band and highly
efficient sources of single and entangled photons based on parametric
conversion. These sources will then be used to demonstrate basic computing
functionality of a photonic quantum processor based on cluster states in
cooperation with HU Berlin and other partners. Since in this approach the
generation of qubits and the implementation of quantum logic are separated, it
is possible to work with a much larger number of qubits than can be addressed
by the processor simultaneously. This project thereby lays the foundations for
scalable photonic quantum computers that can work with thousands of qubits,
making quantum computing practical for real-world applications.

PhD Position in Governing Information Sharing |
The PhD researcher will perform socio-technical research on governing trust in
information sharing. One of the main challenges for information sharing is the
lack of trust, control and certainty in data exchange. The rise of digital
trust services (such as authentication and personal data wallets) provides new
opportunities for improving trust in information sharing. However, we lack
knowledge on how to integrate and govern trust services in and between
existing domains, such as Standard Business Reporting. For instance, we know
little about how to develop cross-domain governance models for trust services
that can be used across various domains (e.g., government, finance, mortgages,
pensions etc.).
Research methods can include design science research, surveys and case
studies. The candidate will work as part of a national coalition led by
Digicampus ([www.digicampus.tech](http://www.digicampus.tech)) and collaborate
with other researchers, policy-makers and technology experts from various
organisations, including Logius, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom
Relations and the Tax Office.
During the PhD, the candidate will conduct this research with the national
coalition and prepare scientific articles presenting the research at
conferences and in journals. To enable the candidate to do this successfully,

PhD Position Integrated Management of Flood and Drought |
Evidence of a changing climate has raised concerns regarding the future
sustainability of current flood protection systems and, on the opposite side,
on the coping capabilities of these systems against water scarcity (drought).
In the Netherlands, lack of water means disruption for transport and ecosystem
services, saltwater intrusion along the coast, lack of freshwater for
agriculture and domestic use, but also possible damages on flood defences and
soil subsidence.
These premises call for an integrated management approach in which flood and
drought are considered interconnected hazards and are evaluated at the same
time to ensure a balance between water availability during dry periods and
flood safety during wet periods. The associated integrated risk assessment
against flood and drought will improve the resilience against natural hazards
and will provide adaptation strategies to a changing climate.
During the PhD project, different aspects of the integrated management
approach will be tackled, including: (i) analysing the different types of
drought, in time and space, at the country level to assess their yearly
probability of occurrence in the current and future climate; (ii) analysing
the yearly succession of wet (flood-prone) and dry (drought-prone) periods in
current and future climate to identify changes that might require modification
in the current water managing approach (e.g. Lake Ijssel and the flexible
water approach); (iii) investigating the effect of preceding dry conditions to
determine changes in flood risk assessment (e.g., changes in water level
threshold that can potentially lead to a flood event); (iv) investigating
adaptation strategies, e.g., water infrastructures, to ensure water
availability in dry periods and flood safety in wet periods (e.g., in
Achterhoek region). These analyses can also be integrated and expanded to a
case study with a different water managing approach compared to the
Netherlands but still vulnerable to both flood and drought, such as
California.
The PhD candidate will be part of the Hydraulic Structures and Flood Risk
section in the Hydraulic Engineering department. The PhD candidate will be
supervised by Dr. Elisa Ragno, Prof. Dr. Ir. Matthijs Kok, and Dr. Ir. Oswaldo
Morales Napoles. As part of this project, the PhD candidate will be given the
opportunity to work with leading academic and industrial partners. |

Postdoc in Sustainable Airport Technologies |
A wide variety of technologies and innovations are necessary to achieve
sustainable aviation, ranging from aircraft developments, including
hybrid/electric, and hydrogen propulsion systems, optimized flight operations,
and efficient airline & airport operations.
Introduction of all these innovations will change the way aircraft operate,
and also requires significant changes to the airport infrastructure, and
airport ground operations. To what extent airports are in the end able to
accommodate and integrate these sustainable technologies will (partly)
determine whether we are able to reach the sustainability goals.
The Postdoc position is offered at the the Air Transport & Operations (ATO)
section of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering to support the sustainability-
related research.
The postdoc will work on the following two topics:
1) Introduction of Airport ground operations innovations.
The Postdoc will support ongoing ATO projects, such as the AEON (Advance
Engine Off Navigation) project. AEON is a European project funded by SESAR
Joint Undertaking that aims at innovating airport ground operations with more
environmentally friendly taxiing techniques for the aviation sector. In
particular, it aims to define and evaluate a concept of operations for
autonomous and non-autonomous taxiing techniques, making use of novel
technologies that are coming onto the market, such as Taxi Bots, E-Taxi and
Single Engine Taxiing. AEON aims to deliver the following results amongst
others:
a) Development of supporting algorithms to help operators manage the tug
fleet.
b) Creation of a collaborative tool to help airline and airport implement the
solution.
The postdoc will specifically focus on evaluation and integration of these
technologies (e.g. safety, cost/benefit, capacity/efficiency) and support on
integrating the developed algorithms, so that the simulation tool can be used
in real-time. The postdoc will be closely working with the ATO colleagues
involved, the other PhD-candidates hired for this project, and the consortium
partners, including Schiphol.
The AEON project started in the end of 2020 and lasts until end 2022.
2) Impact of introducing other sustainable innovations in the airport
operations.
In addition to the technologies investigated in the AEON project, other
sustainable aviation technologies, for instance in the field of electric,
electric-hybrid and hydrogen operations, will need to be integrated in the
airport system as well. The Postdoc will investigate what it means for
airports (e.g. infrastructure and scheduling of operations) to accommodate
these technologies, and how a competitive aircraft turnaround time can be
achieved.
Both parts include helping with setting up and supervising MSc thesis
assignments. |

**Position**
* You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis Applied Economics. The increasing level of renewable energy and associated challenges for the energy system lead to the expectation that flexibility services (such as smart charging of electric vehicles) at low voltage will increase in the coming years. This evolution is driven by the shift from passive to active grid users that may provide flexibility both individually and collectively and hence support the security of supply and grid stability. Against this backdrop, a research project was awarded by the Energy Transition Fund. The chosen candidate will primarily be responsible for developing, conducting and reporting on research on flexibility services provided by individuals or energy communities using discrete choice experiments.

Two positions in Structural Biology of WNT Signaling |
**Research Group:** Protein-DNA interactions
**Research Group Leader:** Konstantinos Tripsianes, Ph.D.
**Project information:**
We apply structural biology methods in order to gain a mechanistic view of
CK1ε action in the Wnt signalling pathways. CK1ε represents an attractive
therapeutic target but currently two key steps in the CK1ε-mediated Wnt signal
transduction are unclear: ( **Project 1** ) how CK1ε gets activated and/or
engages target proteins in response to Wnt signal and ( **Project 2** ) how
CK1ε phosphorylates its key substrate DVL and what are the consequences of DVL
phosphorylation.
We apply methods of integrated structural biology to (i) probe the DVL
conformational landscape using in vitro and in vivo FRET sensors coupled to
SAXS and CryoEM, (ii) understand the (auto)phosphorylation regulatory
mechanisms of CK1ε, (iii) analyse by NMR the functional consequences of DVL
phosphorylation and (iv) monitor DVL phosphorylation by real-time NMR under
controlled cellular conditions.
Both positions ( **PhD or PostDoc level** ) are part of a multidisciplinary
project that combines (i) cellular and molecular biology, (ii) proteomic
analysis, (iii) **biochemistry and structural biology** , and received
generous funding in a very competitive grant scheme.
**Requirements:**
We are looking for highly motivated researchers with a strong background or
interest in structural biology. Hands-on experience with protein expression
and purification is prerequisite. Experience with biomolecular NMR is a plus.
**We offer:**
* Salary that will be based on the candidate’s qualifications and experience.
* Background of a recognized and successful institution with supportive and international working environment
* Support with the relocation process (welcome office service)
* 6 weeks of paid holiday
**Anticipated start date:** Immediately or upon agreement.

Evolutionary genetics and quantitative genetics across populations, for plant
breeding applications in cool-season grasses |
Applications are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School
of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Quantitative
Genetics and Genomics programme. The position is available from 1 January 2022
or later.
**Title:**
Evolutionary genetics and quantitative genetics across populations, for plant
breeding applications in cool-season grasses
**Research area and project description:**
The PhD student will be involved in an innovative research project in
quantitative genetics applied to crop species (wheat and barley) as well as
model species (Brachypodium). She/he will address fundamental limitations in
quantitative genetics, by combining different types of genetic data:
phylogenetic data (evolution of DNA sequences across species), omics data at
different levels of biological organization (RNA expression, metabolism,
etc.), and field data (plant morphology and agronomic traits).
Quantitative genetics relies on associations between DNA polymorphisms and
observed differences at agronomic traits. These associations are useful to
predict plants’ performance, but they are only correlations and cannot detect
the exact causal mutations responsible for observed differences, within blocks
of millions of DNA bases inherited together by recombination during mating.
The goal of the PhD project will be to break away from this current paradigm
in quantitative genetics, by (1) identifying causal mutations based on
evolutionary conservation across species, rather than statistical associations
within species, (2) characterizing the intermediate effects of causal
mutations on gene expression, metabolism, morphology, etc., rather than
modeling their direct effects on agronomic traits, and (3) depicting genetic
variability by descriptions of gene activity, rather than DNA polymorphisms
that are often specific to plant populations.
The successful candidate will join the Center for Quantitative Genetics and
Genomics (QGG) at Aarhus University, located in the center of Aarhus in
Denmark. She/he will work under the supervision of Torben Asp (professor) and
Guillaume Ramstein (assistant professor) in the Plant Section at QGG. This PhD
project will provide her/him with unique training opportunities in
quantitative genetics, as well as in machine learning, bioinformatics and
phylogenetics applied to crop improvement.
**Qualifications and specific competences:**
The applicant must hold (or be expected to hold) a Master’s degree in a field
related to plant genetics and/or applied statistics, such as quantitative
genetics, population genetics, evolutionary genetics, bioinformatics, or
machine learning.
The ideal candidate will also demonstrate some knowledge of
scripting/programming languages (e.g., in R, Python, Java, Bash) and good
communication skills in English as demonstrated by a standard test ([TOEFL,
IELTS or Cambridge English](https://phd.tech.au.dk/for-applicants/application-
guide/)).
**Place of employment and place of work:**
The place of employment is Aarhus University, and the place of work is Center
for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics, Ny Munkegade 116, DK-8000 Aarhus C.
**OR** Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics, Forsøgsvej 1, DK-4200
Slagelse, Denmark.
_The place of work is to be agreed between the successful candidate and the
supervisors._
**Contacts:**
Applicants seeking further information are invited to contact:
* Assistent Professor Guillaume Ramstein, [ramstein@qgg.au.dk](mailto:ramstein@qgg.au.dk)

PhD in Environmental engineering, mining and energy |
PhD project:
* **Assessment of the possibility of improving the momentum transfer in the flow between rotating discs**
The research will be focused on the selection and the quantitative assessment
of the methods of surface modification aiming at the enhancement of the
momentum transfer in the flow between the co-rotating discs. The benefit
should result from the introduction of the surface roughness and shaped
structures on the disc surface. The investigations of the surface roughness
will be performed with the use of the modified semi-analytical models of the
flow between the rotating discs and numerical CFD (Computational Fluid
Dynamics) simulations with an advanced approach to boundary conditions on the
disc walls. Verification of the results of numerical calculations will be

COFUND-&ordre=22&idioma=ENG))**
This project aims to advance on the knowledge about the implications of
laccase enzyme activity in wine composition and quality. Laccase is a multi-
copper oxidase (MCOs) that belongs to a protein superfamily of enzymes which
oxidize the substrate at a mononuclear copper center T1. This enzyme is
released by the fungi Botrytis cinerea when grows in grape berries. This
fungal disease, known as grey rot is probably the worst plague that affects
grape production.
This enzyme causes great problems of color originating browning in white wines
and oxidasic haze in red wines because it oxidizes phenolic compounds. This
fungal disease represents each year great economic losses for wine industry.
The main objective of this project is deeping on the knowledge about this
enzyme in order to mitigate the undesirable action that laccase exert in the
oenological industry, enabling a reduction in the use of SO2. It is also aimed
to evaluate the possible favorable effects that laccase can exert on wine
under the point of view of quality (reduction of astringency in red wines,
hyperoxidation to stabilize the color of white wines).
This project will first address the isolation and purification of laccase from
Botrytis cinerea to obtain enough amount for the following objectives. Next,
the characterization of the laccase of Botrytis cinerea will be performed. To
do this, their molecular masses and isoelectric points will be determined by
electrophoretic techniques, and their kinetic characteristics will be
determined according to the Michaelis-Menten model using syringaldazine as the
substrate of the reaction and also developing another chemical model to
reproduce wine browning in a synthetic medium.
Subsequently, the study of the kinetics of the reaction of laccase with
various substrates of interest will be performed by determining the kinetics
of oxygen consumption in real grape juice and also in a model medium.
Finally, the inhibitory effect on laccase of enological tannins and
glutathione as possible alternatives to reduce sulfur dioxide doses will be
studied.
**Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate:**
* Demonstrated previous experience in one or more of the following topics: wine analysis, research in oenology
* Hold a Master degree, or equivalent, in: oenology, agriculture or food science
* Language skills: English and Spanish
* Other skills: experience in working in a vineyard and winery
* Personality traits: communicative, hard-working, science-driven, curious |

Environmental problems are forcing the introduction of new technologies that
are capable of producing and using energy more efficiently and cleanly. Within
the group of alternative energy systems, hydrogen (H2) stands out because it
is an efficient and clean fuel. The growing demand to use H2 as a sustainable
source of energy in the coming years prompts the need to develop new
technologies for boosting the production efficiency as well as for its rapid
detection in concentrations close to the lower explosive limit (4% H2).
Water electrolysis is the most eco-friend way of H2 production. The H2
generation in microsystems, such as microreactors or microelectrolitic cells
is of great interest to boost the efficiency of H2 production as compared to
bulky tank production.
Palladium alloys are commonly used as a selective layer of H2 due to the
excellent property of this metal to absorb large amounts of this gas. These
materials are combined with some electronic devices for sensing, although they
present problems in terms of stability and selectivity when exposed for long
periods to H2.
The field of H2 sensors based on optical fibers includes systems such as Bragg
gratings, micromirrors, plasmon resonance effects, interaction with the
evanescent field, among others, having the advantage of being applied in areas
of difficult access and / or environmental conditions.
To increase the efficiency for H2 production and to have a reliable, portable,
robust and sensitive H2 optical sensor would definitely give answer to the
needs of the industry for the next years.
This project aims to design, manufacture, characterize and test a
microelectrolytic cell to enhance the H2 production efficiency. This will be
accomplished by means of microfluidic platforms. Besides, the development of
an optical H2 sensor is also aimed. The H2 optical sensor will use fiber
optics for high stability, selectivity, and robustness.
**Highly desirable attributes of the ideal candidate:**
* Demonstrated previous experience in one or more of the following topics: sustainability, photonics as well as experience in design and fabrication or have worked with photonic devices, especially optical fibers

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the necessity of the development of models
capable of accurately describing the spreading of diseases within the society.
Not only the epidemic parameters are important: other previously ignored
factors, such as mobility, age distribution, lockdowns, closing of certain
types of activities and commerce, and all kinds of non-pharmaceutical
interventions, have to be taken into account. The objective of this project is
the building of models that describe mathematically the interactions between
all these factors: social behavior and epidemic spreading, using tools taken
from statistical physics and computational techniques.

Research collaborator in Rainbows, heavenly movers and human happiness.
Arabic-Latin philosophy of nature and Dante, between iconography and digital
humanities |
**Keywords** : Medieval philosophy, Arabic philosophy, Philosophy of Nature,
Latin translations of Arabic works, Dante's philosophy, Iconography, Digital
humanities.
**Profile:** Aristotelian natural philosophy, with the mediation of the
Peripatetic thought developed in Arabic, becomes quite soon a crucial system
of doctrines among the thinkers of the Latin Middle Ages, often in conjunction
with metaphysical, ethical and theological reflections that enrich its object,
and give value to its study. This legacy is also an essential part of Dante
Alighieri’s culture, who reuses its doctrinal items, its foundational ideas
and some of its particular developments not only in the purely philosophical
framework of his Convivio, but also in the ‘scientific’ poetry of the
Commedia, with surprising results.Through specific inquiries in the domains of
ethics and psychology (doctrine of the soul and human happiness), of cosmology
(doctrines of the skies and of their heavenly movers), of meteorology
(doctrine of the rainbow and its theological aftermath), and of biology and
embryology (docrtine od the origin of the soul in animals and humans), the
project has thus the aim to reconstruct with renewed attention the purport of
the Arabic and Latin philosophy of nature to Dante’s culture, thus helping to
bridge the gap too often postulated between the Convivio and the Commedia, and
thus also between Dante’s philosophy and his poetry. The acknowledgment of
their reciprocal bounds can on the contrary enrich, and shed new light on,
both of them.
**Activity:** The project has three maintargets: 1) Dante’s usage of important
texts of Avicenna (Ibn Sīnā) and Algazel (al-Ġazālī) in the Convivio has
already been partially clarified. Previous studies show that Arabic
psychological doctrines – mediated by Albert the Great – appear in Dante in a
double fashion, both in their cosmological side – with reference to the moving
intellects of the orbs and to their identification with the angels of the
monotheistic tradition – and in their anthropological side – with a rich
ethical and eschatological discussion on man’s intellectual happiness and the
ways to reach it in statu viae and beyond. A systematic analysis of these
pieces of evidence with the journey in the hereafter narrated in the Commedia,
and with the doctrinal structure proper to the poem, would however still
deserve a wider and more thorough philosophical treatment. 2) On another side,
also Peripatetic meteorology has a place in the rich theoretical system of the
«sacred poem», not only in the Purgatorio, where the terrestrial
meteorological phenomena are meticolously listed , but also at the culmination
of the journey to Paradise, since Dante describes the Trinity precisely by
means of the physical-meteorological image of the rainbow. The celestial
rainbow or the iridescent circle, also by mediation of the Bible, is by the
way crucial in medieval representations of glorious Christ, both in the
iconography of the Last Judgment and in the not less fascinating one of the
so-called Dormitio Virginis. On the seemingly merely philosophical and
physical theme many different arts – painting and mosaics, literature and
poetry – appear thus inextricably interwoven, in a very fascinating cultural
exchange which deserves further critical attention. 3) Recent and well-
documented studies have discussed the possible reconstruction of Dante’s
(philosophical) library, with specific attention not only to the quotations of
other authors found in Dante’s works, but also to the factual availability of
manuscripts of those cited works in the libraries of the Italian medieval
towns in which Dante lived and composed his oeuvre. The role of Florence in
this field is obviously crucial. A specific analysis of the presence, in the
Florentine manuscripts prior to Dante, of philosophical and scientific works
translated from the Arabic into Latin, with particular reference to texts of
natural philosophy, will be an integral part of the project. As such, it will
be based on the digital catalogues already existent, but thanks to its
specific focus it will also be able to improve and enrich them in both
quantity and quality. |

Postdoctoral Position - Deep Learning applied to Molecular Simulations at the
Computational Science Laboratory |
Postdoctoral scientist to lead a research line in building and using machine
learning potentials for molecular simulations. The candidate will contribute
together with other PhDs fellows to the following research line of the
Computational Science Laboratory
Research line: Molecular simulations and machine learning. We use computation
such as physics-based simulations and modern machine learning to provide
novel, innovative methodological approaches in biomedicine. Specifically, we
develop new methods that can be applied to drug design, protein dynamics,
protein-protein interactions, etc. For this, we created GPUGRID.net in 2008,
currently the second largest distributed computing project harnessing several
thousands GPUs. In 2017 we created PlayMolecule, a publicly-available platform
offering molecular simulations and machine-learning-powered assets for drug
discovery used by a wide community of users (>100k jobs reached, >6000 unique
users). The platform has been successfully tested in blind challenges (D3R
challenge 2018, Sampl 2019) and it is currently deployed internally in several
top-10 pharmaceutical companies. Since 2019, we are core project leaders of
OpenMM/ACEMD, one of the leading molecular dynamics packages, jointly with the
University of Stanford and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (NY,USA)
where we are responsible for the development of machine learning potentials
between quantum and classical mechanics and end-to-end simulation approaches.
This year we have released TorchMD, a framework for molecular simulations that
enables users to do research faster in force-field development as well as
integrate neural network potentials seamlessly into the dynamics with the
simplicity and power of PyTorch. Relevant References:

Research assistant: Mouse colony management and metabolic analyses |
The Institute
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical
research institute of excellence, based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than
400 scientists from 44 countries. The CRG is composed by an interdisciplinary,
motivated and creative scientific team which is supported both by a flexible
and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.
In April 2021, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) received the renewal of
the ['HR Excellence in Research](https://www.crg.eu/en/content/careers/hr-
excellence-research)' Award from the European Commission. This is a
recognition of the Institute's commitment to developing an HR Strategy for
Researchers, designed to bring the practices and procedures in line with the
principles of the [European Charter for
Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/european-charter) and
the [Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of
Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/code) (Charter and
Code).
[Please, check out our Recruitment
Policy](https://www.crg.eu/sites/default/files/crg/p-hr-004-crg_recruitment_policy_v1.1.pdf)
The role
Pancreatic islets play a key role in maintaining glucose homeostasis by
secreting insulin. Dysfunction and loss of insulin-producing beta cells leads
to diabetes, a disease increasing worldwide that represents a major health
challenge. While extensive research has started to uncover the transcriptional
networks that control differentiation and function of beta cells, and showed
that diabetes genetic risk variants often alter gene expression regulation,
little is known about the roles of post-transcriptional mechanisms such
alternative splicing in islet biology and diabetes.
We are looking for a motivated and experienced research assistant to work on a
research line of the lab funded by ERC, La Caixa and EFSD that aims at
understanding the role of a recently discovered alternative splicing program
in islet function, glucose metabolism and diabetes. The successful candidate
will manage colonies of existing mouse KO models and contribute to generate
new ones. Moreover, the candidate will help with different mouse in vivo
studies related to metabolism, physiology and pancreas biology.
About the lab
The Irimia lab is an international and multi-disciplinary team focused on
elucidating the role of alternative splicing in vertebrate development and
evolution. Much of our work focuses on microexons in the nervous system and in
endocrine pancreas, a splicing program that we have originally discovered and
to which we have made key contributions. In our lab, we combine computational
approaches (comparative bulk and single-cell transcriptomics and functional
genomics) with experiments using in vitro and in vivo systems (mouse,
zebrafish, and fruitfly). In addition, this project will be developed in close
collaboration with two senior groups at CRG: the Ferrer lab (Regulatory
genomics and diabetes) and the Valcárcel lab (Regulation of alternative pre-
RNA splicing during development and disease), which will bring complementary
expertise. |

PhD student |
Head of the project Prof. UAM Igor Iatsunskyi is looking for candidates to
work in a scientific project “Tunable multilayered hyperbolic metamaterials
based biosensors for cancer biomarker detection”
Metamaterials are artificial structures with optical properties that are
different from the general properties of traditional nanomaterials (negative
refractive index, for example). Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) are one of the
new classes of metamaterials. They have rapidly gained a central role in
nanophotonics due to their facility in manipulating light in a wide frequency
range.
Development of novel materials for biosensor application is one of the most
significant challenges in nowadays science and technology. Therefore, the
proposed project is aimed at developing of novel HHMs with tailored optical
properties based on Plasmonic material/Metal oxide multilayered nanostructures
(nanolaminates) produced by atomic layer deposition (ALD) for label-free
cancer biomarker biosensors. As plasmonic components, instead of noble metals,
Al-doped ZnO (AZO) and TiN will be used. The metal oxide components will
involve Al2O3 and ZnO nanolayers. The proposed nanocomposites will be used as
an optical (refractometric) biosensing platform for specific cancer biomarkers
detection (e.g. HMGB1, CD5, CD19). The proposed project is multidisciplinary.
It covers the fields of physics, chemistry, material engineering, biomedicine,
bio- and nanotechnology.
The expected new fundamental results in structure, electronic, and optical
properties of multilayered HMMs will be important in the field of material
science, allowing the tailoring and control of the multicomponent
nanostructures and their properties. The achieved results will make an impact
to scientific fields of material science, surface science and optical sensor
technologies. They will stimulate development of new composite materials with
advanced properties and new optical sensors with high sensitivity and
selectivity.
Your tasks:
* fabrication and characterization of HMMs;
* development of optical biosensor towards cancer biomarker detection;
* Participation in project meetings;
* Coordination with internal and external partners (business trips are planned);
* Publication and presentation of research results in relevant journals and/or at international conferences.
For more information please contact the project leader

1 PhD scholarship and 1 Post Doc position in Strong Light-Matter Coupling in
Organic Solar Cells |
If you are passionate about solutions for the transition to a society running
on sustainable energy and are looking for either a PhD or a Post Doc position,
you will find a great opportunity here. Solar energy will play a significant
role in the green transition and there is a need for cheap, robust and
environmentally friendly solar cells to accommodate the constantly growing
energy demand. If you engage with us in this leading edge materials research
effort, with strong connection to fundamental physics, you will break new
ground in the high-profile field of organic photovoltaics.
The positions are part of a new national project supported by the Independent
Research Fund Denmark, DFF FTP - Entangled PolaritonIC states for improved
energy and charge transfer in non-fullerene Organic PhotoVoltaics, EPIC-OPV.
The project is carried out in close collaboration between Section for Imaging
and Structural Analysis (DTU Energy) and the Mads Clausen Institute and SDU
NanoSYD (SDU, University of Southern Denmark) together with Paris-Sorbonne
University as external partner.
The overall project objective is to investigate strong light-matter coupling
in special architecture non-fullerene based organic photovoltaic devices,
designed to study the role of such effects on the fundamental energy and
charge transfer processes taking place in OPV devices. A PhD and a Post Doc
will be working in parallel on the project at DTU and SDU under supervision of
Professors Jens Wenzel Andreasen and Morten Madsen, respectively.
The PhD and Post Doc will collaborate on development of non-fullerene based
organic photovoltaic devices, and integration of those into optical cavities,
in order to generate and study strong light-matter effects in such thin films
and devices.
The Post Doc will focus on OPV development from various different thin film
deposition techniques, i.e. both solution (e.g. slot-die coating) and vacuum
(e.g. thermal evaporation) based methods, having a focus on bilayer type
devices. Optical cavity development and optimization will be part of this
project, which will also include full thin film and device characterization,
for example standard JV, external quantum efficiency, lifetime tests, optical
spectroscopy, transient electrical and optical techniques, morphological
studies, interface characterization, etc., which will be conducted in
collaboration with the partners in project.
The PhD candidate will have focus on the structural, morphological,
photophysical and device characterization of the solar cell devices, designed
to clarify whether the effect of strong light-matter coupling gives a
significant contribution to the performance of solar cells based on non-
fullerene acceptors.
State-of-the-art characterization is required to unequivocally assign the mode
of energy transfer and to verify the performance enhancement in optical
cavities and solar cells.
To create efficient optical cavities and unambiguously confirm the
contribution of different modes of energy transfer, we must determine and
control the multilayer structures with high accuracy. This holds for structure
at the molecular level all the way up to thickness, smoothness and planarity
of the individual layers.

PhD Student |
Head of the project Prof. UAM Igor Iatsunskyi is looking for candidates to
work in a scientific project “Nanocomposites based on 1D semiconductors
modified by MXene and ALD for efficient photoelectrochemical water splitting”
Hydrogen (H2) production via solar water splitting is one of the most ideal
strategies for providing sustainable fuel because this requires only water and
sunlight. In achieving high-yield production of H2 as a recyclable energy
carrier, the nanoscale design of novel nanocomposites plays a pivotal role in
photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting reactions. In this context, the
arrival of one-dimensional (1D) semiconductor nanocomposites modified by 2D
materials (e.g. graphene, black phosphorous, Transition metal dichalcogenide -
TMD, MXene etc.) with remarkable electronic and optical characteristics have
attracted great attention for their application to PEC systems. The
development of these nanocomposites can significantly enhance the PEC
efficiencies via bandgap alteration, heterojunction formation and other
effects.
The proposed project is a multidisciplinary proposal, based on different
research areas related to the application of 1D semiconductor nanostructures
modified by MXene and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) for solar water splitting.
The project is devoted to the tailoring, understanding and application of the
nanocomposites for PEC water splitting, via the control of their
electrical/optical properties and the understanding of the changes induced by
MXene and MXene/Metal oxide coatings on 1D semiconductor surfaces.
The main goal of the project is the development and investigation of novel
nanocomposites based on 1D semiconductor materials (Si nanowires – SiNW, ZnO
nanorods – ZnO-NR, and TiO2 nanorods – TiO2-NR) functionalized/modified by
MXene (e.g. Ti3C2) and ALD metal oxides - MOx (TiO2, ZnO) layer for solar
water splitting. The developed nanocomposites (SiNW/MXene/MOx; ZnO-
NR/MXene/MOx and TiO2-NR/MXene/MOx) are expected to demonstrate new
fundamental properties (high surface area, enhanced charge carrier separation,
stability, increased absorption) which will enhance the PEC efficiency of
fabricated photoelectrodes.
Your tasks:
* fabrication and characterization of 1D photoelectrodes based on Si nanowires/MXene/metal oxide;
* study the photocatalytic properties of solar water splitting for produced nanocomposites;
* Participation in project meetings;
* Coordination with internal and external partners (business trips are planned);
* Publication and presentation of research results in relevant journals and/or at international conferences.

Postdoctoral position in Triboelectric nanogenerators design for green energy
production |
Applications are invited for postdoctoral researchers in the Advanced
Materials Group (AMG) at the Department of Control Engineering, Faculty of
Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, to work on the
triboelectric nanogenerators design for green energy production, under the
supervision of Dr. Antonio Cammarata. AMG is a well-established group and
consists of dynamic and motivated researchers leading international
collaborations on broad interdisciplinary topics.
The recent and fast growth of electronic miniaturization called for the
development of power nanogenerators which can harvest energy from the
environment. Among them, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are the
forefront of current research: they are capable to convert friction into
electric power. Recent findings suggest that layered transition metal
dichalcogenides (TMDs) may be the best candidate materials for TENGs with high
efficiency. We plan to study the atomic-level phenomena directing the charge
current formation in layered TMD-based TENGs under tribological conditions.
Our final goal is to provide experimental guidelines on how to design
efficient TENG devices by formulating predictive paradigms on the tribocharge
generation and diffusion. Such guidelines will be possibly validated by
assembling and testing a TMD-based TENG prototype. |

Atmospheric sounding in the infrared has for a long time mainly been dedicated
to meteorology. The operation from hyperspectral sounders has remarkably
served this application area in the last two decades, up to the level that
these instruments have become the dominant contributors to numerical weather
forecast. Even more remarkable is, however, how the hyperspectral infrared
sounders have fostered the fields of atmospheric chemistry and climate, thanks
to the measurements of important trace gases in the troposphere and
stratosphere, globally or locally above point sources. In Europe, major
achievements have been made by exploiting the radiance measurements of the
Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) onboard the Metop
platforms, for which ULB-SQUARES is playing a leading role. An important
research line in the group concerns the measurement of atmospheric ammonia, on
all scales, and the evaluation of its impacts on the Earth environment. The
Nitrosat Earth Explorer 11 candidate mission, led by ULB-SQUARES and recently
selected by ESA to enter phase 0, has the objective to revolutionize the
global mapping of ammonia and nitrogen dioxide, by providing global
measurements at sub-km scale
().
**Responsibilities**
At the ULB, you will contribute to develop satellite products of ammonia (NH3)
from IASI. Using the IASI record, you will be in charge of improving the
techniques to detect and quantify the emission of ammonia (possibly other
primary pollutants) from local sources. You will also be involved centrally in
the preparatory science activities for Nitrosat, which will start in September
2021. One aspect of this research will be on the analysis of data from the
NitroCam aircraft campaigns, currently ongoing.
**Qualifications**
We are looking for a highly motivated, well-organized and dynamic candidate
with a high level of independence and creative thinking. The successful
candidate should
• hold a PhD degree in Sciences or Applied Sciences obtained at the earliest 5
years prior to the submission date of the job application.
• have excellent oral and written English communication skills
• be able to work independently and in a team, as well as in international
environment
• be eager to learn new techniques and show keen interest and curiosity driven
approach to scientific questions
Experience in a relevant field, in particular in atmospheric remote sensing,
spectroscopy, environmental sciences is a plus.
**We offer**
• A full-time research position of 1 year, with the possibility of extension
for another 1-2 years
• A stimulating, research work environment where quality, professionalism and
team spirit are encouraged
• Access to state-of-the-art infrastructure
• Flexible schedule and possibility to work occasionally from home
• Refund of commuting expenses when using public transportation or bicycle
• The opportunity to interact with several world-class investigators at both
institutions, as well as in Europe and abroad (through an established network
and research consortia)
**Procedure**
After evaluating the submitted applications, the selected candidates will be
invited for an interview.

Postdoctoral position in “Ab initio investigation of the effect of heavy-ion
irradiation on the mechanical properties of nanostructured alloys” |
Applications are invited for postdoctoral researchers in the Advanced
Materials Group (AMG) at the Department of Control Engineering, Faculty of
Electrical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, to work on the
ab initio investigation of the effect of heavy-ion irradiation on the
mechanical properties of nanostructured alloys, under the supervision of Dr.
Sener Hüseyin. AMG is a well-established group and consists of dynamic and
motivated researchers leading international collaborations on broad
interdisciplinary topics.
Ions implantation leads primarily to the formation of vacancy-type of defects
and self-interstitial atoms (SIAs). With increasing ions fluence, temperature,
and time, these point defects migrate and eventually cluster, forming
dislocation loops, voids, and stacking faults in metals. When the density of
these defects is high, coalescence will occur and some detrimental effects
will appear such as swelling, hardening, embrittlement, blisters, and
exfoliation, and direct failure. It is well established in a single crystal
that strains and stresses can strongly influence the defect growth and
impurity migration, and can consequently play a major role in the
microstructural transformations of materials under irradiation. A full
understanding of these phenomena and reliable prediction of a material
lifetime is required in multilayer systems. The successful candidate is
expected to perform ab initio simulations to reveal the effect of radiation
damage on the mechanical properties of metallic multilayers such as created
strain, elastic properties, Vicker’s hardness, and fracture toughness. |

PhD Project Heidelberg "Elucidating the role of upstream open reading frame-
encoded micropeptides in cardiac biology" |
Small proteins of less than 100 amino acids are known as micropeptides. They
are important contributors to cardiac biology. Most of these peptides have
been identified on long non-coding RNAs. Biologically relevant micropeptides
encoded by upstream open reading frames (uORFs) have only recently been
described in cardiac cells. Using parallel transcriptome and ribosome
profiling of mouse cardiomyocytes coupled to analysis of published mass
spectrometry data we have identified potential uORF-encoded micropeptides.
Building on this preliminary data we want to further confirm the importance of
these uORFs during cardiomyocyte stress as well as deepen our understanding on
the encoded micropeptides. |

Engineering-insight-inspired data-driven models for machine digital twins |
The KU Leuven Mecha(tro)nic System Dynamics division (LMSD) is searching for a
research engineer to join its team to work in the challenging E2Comation
project: Life-cycle optimization of industrial energy efficiency by a
distributed control and decision-making automation platform.
Project
* This PhD is part of a project aiming to develop a novel approach towards an integrated production paradigm based on energy efficiency and sustainable management. There must be an effort in industry to reduce the consumption and the request of energy. However, in order to optimize the available resources in a production environment, an effective digital twin needs to be developed to assess the trade-offs associated with various machine and process settings. In this project a fully integrated framework will be developed which allows to go from data-capture in the industrial operation to definition of the digital twin and it’s exploitation for improving the overall performance of the different available assets. In this PhD, the focus is on the development of the digital twin in this framework.
* As a researcher you will investigate novel methods to combine the available measurements on existing industrial machines (machine settings, temperatures, power consumption, …) with a-priori engineering knowledge (general trending rules like power consumption as a function of velocity) into a predictive digital twin. In this framework you will employ various machine learning methods, evolving from classical neural networks to recurrent neural networks with various structures and types of regularization. You will develop and validate these approaches on an in-house dataset from an injection-moulding process, and on industrial processes and datasets provided in the project. |

This position is part of a joint project with the Mathematics Institute of the
University of Potsdam. Data-based models (reconstructions) of the past
geomagnetic field are powerful tools to study the geodynamo process generating
the Earth’s magnetic field or to estimate the past shielding against solar
wind and galactic cosmic rays. Recently, data assimilation techniques have
been employed in a novel mathematical framework to construct such models. The
aim of the project is to extend this framework to incorporate temporally
correlated paleomagnetic sediment core records. A particular focus lies on the
quantification of uncertainties resulting from the dating process.
The project, led by Prof. Matthias Holschneider (University of Potsdam) and
Dr. Monika Korte (GFZ), will also include a post-doctoral researcher, and the
two project scientists are expected to collaborate closely at both institutes.
### Your responsibilities:
* Familiarize yourself with the existing mathematical method and apply it to calibrate sediment data
* Extend the method to reflect the sedimentation process
* Write, implement and test the method in form of computer programs
* Present results at international conferences and in scientific publications
### Your qualifications:
* Masters degree (or equivalent) in geophysics, physics or mathematics
* Experience or strong interest in statistical methods
* Strong interest in understanding geological dating and magnetic sediment properties
* Good command of spoken and written English language
* Experience with Python or a similar programming language
* Experience with Linux
**Start date:** 1st January 2022
**Fixed-term:** 3 years
**Salary:** The position is classed as salary group 13 according to “TVöD
Bund (Tarifgebiet Ost)”. The salary group is determined on the basis of the
Collective Wage Agreement and the respective personal qualifications.

PhD Candidate in Computer Science Education |
_Exploring your interests during school experience plays a significant role in
deciding your focus later in life. As such, teaching students about computer
science can help open their eyes to the digital world at a young age. As a PhD
candidate, your research helps unearth how to best foster learning in students
of this discipline.
_ The Institute for Science Education is looking for a highly motivated and
creative candidate to conduct research in Computer Science Education (CSE) at
primary and/or secondary schools. Researchers in CSE are mainly concerned with
the methods, approaches and tools that foster and facilitate the learning and
teaching of computer science. Do you have a degree in computing and a strong
interest in understanding how to best foster learning in students of this
discipline? Or do you have a degree in science education and would you like to
explore how educational theories apply to CSE? This is an opportunity for you
to work in an important and impactful research area. You will carry out your
research as a member of the Institute for Science Education, under the
supervision of Dr Mara Saeli and Prof. Erik Barendsen.
Currently, our group has various ongoing research projects. One project is
looking at ways to help novices understand the concept of algorithms by
exploring new learning and teaching approaches such as context-based learning.
In another project the focus is on exploring new assessment strategies for the
recently adopted computing curriculum in Dutch secondary schools. Other
research topics of interest are: integrating new pedagogical approaches such
as challenge-based learning in the teaching of computer science; exploring
approaches to teach programming to novices; integrating computational thinking
in other subjects; or looking at the role that computer science education
should cover in preparing students to be able to contribute constructively to
the development of society, including in terms of sustainability and climate
impact.
In collaboration with your daily supervisor you will define the exact subject
of the project. You will engage in cutting edge research and disseminate your
results through publication in scholarly and research journals and
presentation at international conferences and workshops. Alongside your
research, you will be involved in the institute’s teaching activities. |

PhD Position in Interaction Design and Learning Technologies |
## About the position
We have a vacancy for a PhD candidate in Interaction Design and Learning
Technologies.
For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education
up to an obtained doctoral degree.
Designing the conditions for engaging in meaningful learning and supporting
the students are vital but challenging processes. Contemporary learning
systems utilize data such as keystrokes, log files, and clicks to interpret
complex learning phenomena. In recent years, multimodal data’s potential to
help us understand the world around us and interpret the complex learning
processes in it led learning technology research to develop models that can
process information from multiple modalities. Although the collection,
interpretation, and visualization of multimodal data has been extremely
challenging for researchers, recent technological developments and data
science, and AI advancements have boosted the growth of non-invasive high-
frequency multimodal-data collections.
The successful candidate is expected to be a member of the Learner-Computer
Interaction (LCI) lab. LCI provides an interdisciplinary playground for
researchers and professionals across all areas of learning technologies,
psychology, learning sciences and interaction design. More information about

Mathematics: Fully Funded EPSRC PhD Scholarship: Non(computability) in Linear
Algebra |
This scholarship is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research
Council (EPSRC).
*The deadline for full consideration of applications is 1 August 2021. We will accept applications until the position is filled.
**Start date:** October 2021 or January 2022
**Project Supervisor:**[Dr Arno
Pauly](https://www.swansea.ac.uk/staff/science/compsci/pauly-a/)
**Project description:**
Algorithmic questions pertaining to linear algebra are predominately studied
by either taking the underlying field to be discrete (e.g. the rationals) or
by forgoing a rigorous model of computation and instead focussing on the
development of concrete numerical algorithms. Computable analysis provides a
convenient framework to simultaneously consider non-discrete fields (e.g. real
or complex numbers) and a rigorous model of computation (ultimately founded on
Turing machines). However, only few initial investigations have been
undertaken so far, and the field is wide open for research by an ambitious PhD
student.
Many interesting computational problems in linear algebra will not be
computable in general (this holds e.g. for solving systems of linear
equations, finding the rank of a matrix or computing the orthogonal complement
of a subspace in infinite dimensions). In these cases, it is very interesting
to determine how non-computable the problem is, using the framework of
Weihrauch degrees. Such results let us draw conclusions to what extent
additional input information or a relaxed notion of algorithm can resolve the
non-computability. |

ERC funded dual doctorate PhD position (KU Leuven / DESY) |
WATUSO: Water as a tuneable solvent is an ERC funded project aiming at
modulating water solvent properties by confinement. Water is the sustainable
solvent of excellence but its high polarity limits the solubility of non-polar
compounds. Confinement of water in hydrophobic pores alters its hydrogen
bonding structure and related properties such as dielectric constant and
solvation power. Whether this special state of confined water can be rendered
useful in chemical processes is hitherto underexplored. The original idea of
this WATUSO is to modulate water solvent properties through hydrophobic nano-
confinement. Pressure is applied to force a heterogeneous mixture of poorly
soluble molecules and water into hydrophobic nanopores of host material where
the lowered polarity of water enhances dissolution. Decompression after
reaction causes expulsion of the solution from the pores and spontaneous
demixing of reaction products as water returns to its normal polar state.
Temporary dissolution enhancement during confinement is expected to be
advantageous to chemical reaction and molecular storage.
Development of dedicated hydrophobic nanoporous materials and research
methodologies providing in situ characterization of confined water, solutes
and host material using NMR, EIS, DRS, X-ray and neutron scattering under
static and dynamic conditions are key aspects of this project.
Unprecedented control in time and space over H2O solvation properties in a
WATUSO system will enable new technologies with major scientific and societal
impact. WATUSO will lead to new insights in water research and deliver new
multi-diagnostic characterization tools. WATUSO could revolutionize chemical
manufacturing and gas storage and the concept could spill over to many more
solvent-based processes. WATUSO will contribute significantly to a greener,
more sustainable chemical industry. |

Mathematics: Fully Funded EPSRC PhD Scholarship: Modelling the spatial ecology
of cancer |
This scholarship is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research
Council (EPSRC).
*The deadline for full consideration of applications is 1 August 2021. Applications received after 1 August 2021 and before the positions are filled will be accepted but may not receive a full consideration.
**Start date:** October 2021 or January 2022
**Project Supervisor:**[Dr Noemi
Picco](https://www.swansea.ac.uk/staff/science/maths/picco-n/)
The typical response dynamics of cancer patients to treatment often follows a
pattern of significant response, that begins to slow and then leads to
relapse. These complex dynamics for patients undergoing treatment indicate
that there is a heterogeneous population of tumour cells driving the tumour.
In addition, the environment in which the tumour lives (e.g. the stroma) is
known to modulate drug resistance, so called microenvironment-mediated
resistance.
This project will focus on understanding the contributions of the tumour
microenvironment and the tumour heterogeneity in regulating treatment response
and the emergence of drug resistance. Specifically, it will investigate the
creation of transient protective niches that facilitate drug resistance. The
project will involve the design and implementation of novel mathematical
models that can explicitly capture the spatio-temporal dynamics of tumour
growth, invasion and resistance. The modelling framework will adopt a suite of
approaches, including partial differential equations and individual cell-based
models to describe the heterogeneous and stochastic nature of these clinically
and experimentally observed dynamics. The mathematical models will be
interrogated to obtain insight into therapeutic strategies which can
successfully control the emergence of drug resistance. |

[www.uclouvain.be/usesandspaces](http://www.uclouvain.be/usesandspaces)
Le/la post-doctorante aura un espace de travail dédié au sein de la faculté
LOCI à Bruxelles.
Contexte de la recherche :
Cette offre de post-doctorat s’inscrit dans le projet CTRL+ H,
CareTaker/Support Resilience laboratory of Housing qui a pour objectif, d’une
part de mieux connaître et d’objectiver les liens entre logement et résilience
des personnes durant la période Covid-19, et d’autre part de formuler des
scénarios exploratoires pour des modes d’habiter et des habitats résilients en
réponse à une crise plus globale, en région de Bruxelles-Capitale à l’horizon
+50 ans, celle du logement. Avec la crise sanitaire Covid-19, le logement est
devenu un tout, à la fois, lieu de vie et de travail, de convalescence,
d’isolement, de soins ou de violences. Cette situation exceptionnelle a
renforcé et complexifié les vulnérabilités présentes dans le logement. Elle a
aussi permis de révéler des lieux et des facteurs de résilience. Le
laboratoire CTRL+H étudie deux types de leviers de résilience, des leviers
spatiaux, que nous nommons caresupports et des leviers humains, caretakers.
Ces notions renvoient à la notion plus générale du care définie comme une «
activité générique qui comprend tout ce que nous faisons pour maintenir,
perpétuer et réparer notre monde, de sorte que nous puissions y vivre aussi
bien que possible. Ce monde comprend nos corps, nous-mêmes et notre
environnement (…) » (Fisher, Tronton, 1990). Les caresupports sont des espaces
qui, à l’échelle du logement et de ses abords, soutiennent la production de
pratiques du care. Il peut s’agir d’espaces communs de garde d’enfants, de
cuisine, de commerces, d’activités sociales ou médicales, de lavoirs, etc. Les
caretakers, ou concierges en français, sont des individus, « gardien·ne du
soin » qui se sont mobilisé.es durant la crise sanitaire, dans le logement et
ses abords, en soutien à la vie. Il peut s’agir d’habitant·es au sein du
logement, de concierges, de travailleur·ses au sein d’association ou de
gestionnaires de logement. Nous posons l’hypothèse que les caresupports et les
caretakers ont servi de leviers de résilience face à la crise Covid. La
recherche CTRL+H, au travers de méthodes de recherche qualitatives,
participatives et prospectives, permet, dans un premier temps, d’identifier et
de qualifier ces leviers, et dans un second temps, de les mettre en scène dans
des scénarios exploratoires pour des habitats et des modes d’habiter plus
résilients.
Au-delà de la crise Covid, la recherche CTRL+H s’adresse à une crise
systémique en Région bruxelloise, celle du logement sous ses multiples
dimensions et prévisions à l’horizon 2070 (vieillissement de la population,
rareté du foncier, augmentation de la part des revenus des ménages dédiés au
logement, transformation des formes de ménages, atomisation de la société,
augmentation du nombre de demandes de logements sociaux, inadaptation du parc
de logement existant, affaiblissement de l’Etat-Providence, etc). Ainsi, quels
sont les facteurs de résilience par le logement (spatiaux et sociaux)
susceptibles d’être déployés dans le futur pour répondre à la crise du
logement? Quels scénarios pour des modes d’habiter et des habitats résilients
en région de Bruxelles-Capitale à l’horizon +50 ? Pour répondre à ces
questions, l’étude s’appuiera sur l’exploration de 7 ensembles d’habitations
de période de construction, de typologie et de situation urbaine différentes,
ayant en commun, historiquement, dans leur ADN, de proposer des espaces de
caresupport en réponse à trois crises historiques identifiées dans la phase de
préparation de la recherche. Pour chaque opération, deux types d’expertise
seront mobilisés pour identifier les facteurs de résilience : une expertise de
vécu portée par les habitant·e·s et une expertise de métiers représentée par
les gestionnaires, promoteurs, travailleu·rs·ses sociaux et responsables des
administrations publiques.
L’étude se déroule en quatre phases: littérature et préparation des terrains
(1), Terrains: État des lieux des facteurs de résilience (2), Co-construction
de scénarios prospectifs: quel habitat post-Covid? (3), Recommandations,
synthèse et valorisation (4). |

PhD call offer entitled: “High field superconductors for high-energy physics
applications” |
We are searching for a candidate willing to undertake a PhD in experimental
physics, in the field of physics of superconductors.
### **Job description:**
We are searching for a candidate willing to undertake a PhD in experimental
physics, in the field of physics of superconductors, with the following focus
directions:
* Study of the vortex pinning and dynamics at very high magnetic fields (up to 16T) and low temperatures (down to 4.2K), from the DC regime to the microwave regime (up to the GHz) of high temperature superconducting materials.
* Study the relationship between the microwave response of the superconducting mixed state and the material microstructure (thickness, defects, artificial pinning centers…).
The position will involve use of cryogenic equipment, microfabrication
techniques and electric and magnetic characterization techniques. The
candidate will be integrated in a working team with expertise in
superconductivity and microstructure analysis by Transmission Electron
Microscopy.
ICMAB offers an excellent working environment, including:
* a creative, world-class interdisciplinary research environment for fundamental and applied nanoscience state-of-the-art infrastructure for the fabrication and characterization of nanostructured materials.
* a highly regarded scientific education.
* a strong international science network.
### **Research Project:**
Surface coatings made of high-temperature superconductor RE(=Y,Gd)Ba2Cu3O7-x
(REBCO) coated conductors (CC) are emerging as a technology to boost several
research fields of high-energy physics, such as the detection of the Axion,
the particle candidate to constitute Dark Matter, where the REBCO coating can
dramatically enhance the detection sensitivity of haloscope cavities. REBCO
coatings will also help the next generation of circular hadron colliders, such
as the future circular hadron-hadron (FCC-hh) collider from CERN, the
successor of the LHC, a particle accelerator aiming at 100 TeV center-of-mass
collision energy in a 100 km circumference ring. In this case, the
superconducting coating will “dissipate” the electric field generated by the
image currents produced by the accelerated protons, which otherwise it will
create instabilities in the proton path hampering the production of
collisions. The new linear Muon colliders could also benefit from REBCO
superconducting coatings, as such colliders need resonant cavities with a high
quality factor operating at high magnetic fields, something that can only be
achieved with high-temperature superconductors.
The aim of this research project is to generate knowledge in the field of
high-temperature superconducting vortex physics in the microwave frequency
range at very high magnetic fields, and in general under situations mimicking
working conditions found in high-energy physics environments. This knowledge
will be fundamental to enable technologies that will start as proof-of-
concepts within our group. The project is in the framework of a long-standing
collaboration with CERN and the Institute of High Energy Physics (IFAE,
located at UAB campus of Bellaterra, Spain) and extends to develop, design and
study the scalability and feasibility of such proof-of-concepts. |

Post Doc position in Developmental Biology |
## Post-Doc position available from October 2021
We aim to recruit a talented Biologist. Position is funded by ANR grant
and is open with a flexible starting date until Jan 2022. Our Lab is located
at the
IGFL () in the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon,
France. The
IGFL brings together several laboratories at the forefront of science working
at
the interface between developmental biology, physiology and evolution.
_**Bridging the gap between development and maintenance of the locomotor
system:**_ _ **from genes to function**_
Locomotion is a stereotyped behaviour used by animals to find food, mates or
to escape from predators. As Michel De Montaigne said: ‘life is only
movement’. The rhythmic pattern of locomotion is directly linked to the
sophisticated architecture of the locomotor system. Its architecture is built
during development and maintained during adulthood. The long-term project of
my team is to understand how locomotor systems acquire and maintain their
specific architecture.
Our multi-scale project encompasses the fields of molecular, cellular and
developmental biology and physiology. Our project integrates experiments from
molecules to cells and from system architecture to behaviour. Our favorite
animal model is _Drosophila melanogaster_.
The lab is organized around 3 objectives:
**Objective 1:** Development of Motoneurons. We want to know how a stem cell
generate motoneurons of different morphologies during development.
**Objective 2:** Development of muscle innervation. We want to understand how
two tissues communicate during development to construct a system.
**Objective 3:** Development and Maintenance of muscle innervation. We want to
know if the gene networks necessary for the establishment and maintenance of
muscle innervation are the same.
If you have a PhD in biology and want to explore locomotion, please contact
us! Experience in developmental and molecular biology, Fly genetic,
transcriptomic, image analysis is a plus. Please submit a CV, names of at
least 2 referees, a statement of past achievements and future research
interest to Jonathan Enriquez: [jonathan.enriquez@ens-

PhD/Post-doc: Development of an image-based 3D computer model of plant tissue
growth and morphogenesis |
_Due to a last minute withdrawal, we are urgently looking for candidates to
work on a project centered on the development of a 3D multi-cellular model of
plant tissue growth and its applications to plant embryo. The details of the
project will be tailored to candidate profiles (PhD or post-doc)._
Cell division and differential cell growth are the two major cellular
mechanisms that underlie the elaboration of specific shapes in plant
development. A fundamental question that remains largely unsolved is to
understand the respective contributions and the coordination of these two
mechanisms in the morphogenesis of plant organs, and how they are orchestrated
with molecular processes and cell signalling. The embryo of the model plant
Arabidopsis thaliana is a unique system to address these questions, showing
stereotyped shape transitions and symmetry breaking within a few generations
downstream the first embryonic cell. Following our previous work (Moukhtar et
al, PLoS Comput Biol, 2019), the objective of this project is to develop a 3D
computer model of plant tissue development based on a discrete, image-based
representation. Combined with quantitative 3D image analysis, the model will
be applied to provide a better understanding of the role of self-organization
in the emergence of plant cell patterns and embryonic shapes.
**Keywords : computer modelling, quantitative image analysis, 3D, C++, GPU
programming, cell division, cell growth, plant embryogenesis, self-

POST DOC POSITION IN Heat transfer simulation in urban environment |
CONTEXT AND AIMS
The Urban Physics Joint Laboratory develops numerical tools and means of
measurement to better
understand energy interactions (sound, light and heat) in urban environments,
in order to propose
efficient solutions for architectural and urban projects.
The project proposed here consists in developing a finite element environment
from existing free
codes, which allows simulating thermal transfers at the scale of a district or
an entire city.
TASKS AND PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
The first task will be to choose a coherent combination of programs (an open
source finite element
code, a mesh generator, a ray-tracing library, a graphical user interface)
that will serve as the basis for
the code to be developed. The first step will be to introduce the extended
view factors into the finite
element code for the calculation of thermal radiation (see: Improving the
daylighting performance of
residential light wells by reflecting and redirecting approaches, A. Bugeat,
B. Beckers and E.Fernández,
Solar Energy. Volume 207, 1 September 2020, Pages 1434-1444).
By the end of 2022, the team should have a working prototype, in order to
collaborate fully on the
following tasks:
\- Measurement campaigns
\- Geometric modeling
\- Comparison of measurements/simulations to verify the hypotheses of the
proposed physical model
\- Simulation of rehabilitation or modification scenarios of a neighborhood
By the end of 2023, the tool will have to be complete and well documented, so
that it can be validated
by external users. The tool will be free and open source, in order to ensure
the best diffusion. |

PhD Position on Open data and public values (MSCA-ITN ODECO) |
The EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska Curie ITN project ‘ODECO: Towards a
Sustainable Open Data ECOsystem’ (see [www.odeco-
research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu)) is a four-year project involving
15 PhD projects covering each a specific part of the open data ecosystem. The
central aim of ODECO is to train the next generation of creative and
innovative early stage open data researchers and unlock their creative and
innovative potential to address current and future challenges in the creation
of user driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystems. Current
developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly fragmented.
Open data ecosystems are often developed in different domains in isolation of
each other and with little involvement of potential users, resulting in
approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for users. This
reduces innovation and the ability to create new valued added goods and
services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users acting as
a barrier to data sharing. Efforts are also uncoordinated in open data
training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are scant.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills and research experience.
ODECO has two open positions for a PhD fellowship at KU Leuven:
* One position on Open data and public values at the Public Governance Institute
* One position on Assessing the value of – open - Data at the Spatial Applications Division Leuven (SADL)
Tasks
This particular ESR-position on ‘Open data and public values’ at the Public
Governance Institute is related to the individual research project on
‘Enhancing open data ecosystem: government as a user perspective’.The main
objective of this research project is to identify the role and
responsibilities of the central/regional government in the open data ecosystem
as a user from a public values perspective. The needs, values and roles of the
government can play a key role in how they interact within the open data
ecosystem. The sub-objectives are:
* To elaborate a systematic literature review of related theories to government (public) values for open data ecosystems
* To identify how government (public) values are affected by open data in an ecosystem setting
* To elaborate a systematic analysis on the role an... For more information see |

Master internship + PhD thesis in Chemistry (in Grenoble) |
**Master 2 internship at the Univ Grenoble Alpes (January - June 2022) +
possibility to start a 3-year PhD thesis in the same research domain in
October 2022 (ANR funding available, coll. LCC Toulouse and TU Darmstadt) on
the following topic: "Mimicking nitrogenase chemistry with bio-inspired
thiolate-supported transition metal complexes".**
_Title_ _:_ Mimicking nitrogenase chemistry with bio-inspired thiolate-
supported transition metal complexes.
Objectives: Study of the reactivity of metal-thiolate complexes towards
molecular nitrogen and other N-containing small molecules.
Pedagogical interest and targeted skills: The subject is multidisciplinary,
the student will have the opportunity to discover different fields of
chemistry, mainly bio-inspired coordination chemistry, activation of small
molecules by metal complexes, molecular electrochemistry and homogeneous
catalysis. She/he will become familiar with different techniques of
characterization in solution.
Abstract: Ammonia (NH3), essential to manufacture fertilizers and emerging as
a portable energy vector, is produced industrially from N2 and natural-gas-
generated H2 in the strongly CO2 emissive Haber-Bosch process, where a
thermally-activated iron surface acts as heterogeneous catalyst. On the other
hand, in nature the reduction of N2 to NH3 is performed at room temperature
and pressure by a class of metalloenzymes named nitrogenases. In their most
common form, the active site contains a unique iron-molybdenum cluster (FeMo-
co) including a diiron unit that is responsible for N2 binding and activation.
Inspired by nitrogenases, we propose to study bimetallic complexes (Fe, etc.)
supported by a thiolate-rich N2S2-donor ligand as potential synthetic
catalysts for mild N2-reduction. This family of complexes has been previously
reported by our group as molecular oxygen reduction catalysts (JACS 2015, 137,
8644; JACS 2019, 141, 8244). During the internship, complexes from this series
will be synthesized, their protonation/reduction properties and their
reactivity towards N2 and other N-substrates (like hydrazine, diazenes) will
be explored, both in the absence and presence of electrons and protons
(stoichiometric reactivity vs chemical/electro-/photo-catalysis). DFT
calculations will contribute to rationalize the observed reactivity (coll.
Darmstadt).
Methods & materials: Reactivity of complexes under inert atmosphere (glove
box, Schlenk techniques), structural characterization by single crystal X-ray
diffraction, characterization in solution (IR, NMR, EPR, mass spectrometry),
electrochemistry (cyclic voltammetry, bulk electrolysis), (chemical, electro-,
photo-) catalysis. Possibility to perform DFT calculations.
Required skills: Knowledge in coordination chemistry will be appreciated.
Interest in DFT calculations will be a plus.
Dates: January - June 2022 + possibility to start a 3-year PhD thesis in the
same research domain in October 2022 (ANR funding available, coll. LCC
Toulouse and TU Darmstadt). |

Post-doctoral Researcher in bioplysics/cell biology: Magnetic Vesicles for
drug release |
A two-years post-doctoral position is now opened in the Laboratory of Physics
and Chemistry of Nano-Objects (LPCNO-CNRS UMR5215-INSA) and in the Cancer
Research Center of Toulouse (CRCT-INSERM U1037), in Toulouse (France).
Project:
Magnetic polymersomes developed around 2005 are a spectacular example of
versatile nanovectors capable of releasing active substances at a tumor site
under the action of a high frequency (HF) magnetic field that provokes local
(i.e. nanoscale) heating of the membrane, enhancing its permeability. In a
static magnetic field, these nano-objects undergo substantial elongation. If
one fixes that shape by chemical crosslinking under magnetic field, these
anisometric entities will give access to new delivery modes, such as the
application of a magnetic torque on the cellular membranes (outer plasma
membrane and intracellular organelle membranes) by applying a low frequency
(LF) magnetic field. The project aims at studying the biocompatibility, uptake
and internalization pathways of magnetic polymersomes in cells as a function
of polymersome morphologies, and the magneto-induced toxicity on cells induced
by LF or HF magnetic fields.
The main objectives of the project will consist in:
* Analyzing the biocompatibility of the magnetic polymersomes (cytotoxicity on different cell lines, uptake by the cells of the retino-endothelial system RES, pro-inflammatory response);
* Studying the magnetic polymersomes uptake by cells, the internalization mechanisms and cellular fate (kinetics, flow cytometry, confocal micrsocopy, TEM, vsm…);
* Evaluating the impact of high frequency (HF) or low frequency (LF) magnetic field on cells loaded or not with magnetic polymersomes on cell death and proliferation, and intracellular membrane disruption;
* Analyzing the induction of drug release by magnetic polymersomes upon high frequency (HF) or low frequency (LF) magnetic field exposure.
Profile:
We are looking for a candidate with a PhD in life sciences or biophysics and a
strong background and expertise in cell biology. He (She) must possess:
• Knowledge in: cell biology, physiology and pathophysiology applied to
cancer.
• Expertise in: cell culture, confocal microscopy, TEM, flow cytometry.
• Abilities: good communication in the context of teamwork, coaching of
students.
Administrative aspects: The post-doctoral position is funded for 24 months.
The position will be open in September 2021. The post-doctoral position may be
extended depending on the acceptance of additional funding requests. |

You will be able to work together with two other PhD students that focus on the macro-ecology and genetic architecture of osteoderm expression, respectively.
* You will carry out a limited number of teaching and research support tasks for the Functional Morphology Lab.
**Profile**
* You hold a Master degree in Biology or a related field or you will have obtained it by the time you start work.
* You can demonstrate excellent study results.
* Your teaching competences are in line with the University of Antwerp’s [educational vision](https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/about-uantwerp/organisation/mission-and-vision/three-core-tasks/education/).
* Your research qualities are in line with the faculty and [university research policies](https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/research/management/).
* You act with attention to quality, integrity, creativity and cooperation.
* You are an independent worker willing to spend long days in the field (South Africa).
**What we offer**
* We offer a doctoral scholarship for a period of two years. Following a positive evaluation, the scholarship can be renewed once for another two-year period.
* The planned start date is 1 October 2021 or as soon as possible after that date.
* Your monthly scholarship amount is calculated according to the [scholarship amounts ](https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/jobs/what-do-we-offer/salaries/)for doctoral scholarship holders on the pay scales for Contract Research Staff (Dutch: _Bijzonder Academisch Personeel_ , BAP).

PhD in 3D image analysis |
**Objectives** \- This PhD thesis has both technical/methodological and
research objectives. The technical/methodological objectives aim at increasing
our capacity to measure plant traits from the crop canopy 3D architecture. The
research objectives relate to how these traits can help us better characterize
plant response to increased density and then allow us to measure such response
and use this in breeding. The specific objectives are:
* Develop the capacity to measure traits characterizing the canopy architecture such as the leaf attachment angle or the vertical leaf area distribution in the canopy using 3D data point clouds generated from the 3D multispectral scanner
* Establish a link between the positive density response of sorghum and/or pearl millet genotypes and putative differences in the traits measured in the first objective
* Characterize and analyze possible genotypic differences in how traits related to canopy architecture change upon population density increase.
* Test the hypothesis that canopy architecture may alter the canopy VPD in a different way in different genotype
**Project description**
Sorghum and pearl millet are two crops that are often cultivated in poor soils
and at low sowing density. However, certain genotypes respond positively to an
increase in sowing density, but not all of them, and especially so under
conditions of high evaporative demand. The physiological reasons for these
differences in response are unknown but suggest intuitively a better/higher
light interception in density-responsive genotypes. In maize, the
investigation of an historical series of hybrids showed that light
interception had increased over time and was caused by a shift in the
distribution of leaf area in the vertical axis toward a lower height, favoring
light distribution deeper in the canopy (Perez et al., 2019). Interestingly,
in sorghum the positive response to density came also with: (i) an increased
water use efficiency (WUE), in concordance with recent data in maize
(Hernandez et al., 2020), and sunflower (Echarte et al., 2020); (ii) a more
vigorous transpiration response to an increase in evaporative demand. The
evaporative demand (measured by the vapor pressure deficit, VPD) was indeed
lower in the high density canopy, and it is known that WUE is higher under
lower VPD (Vadez et al., 2014). These two facts, and the results in maize, led
us to hypothesize that transpiration happened deeper in the canopy and was
favored by lower VPD conditions in density-responsive genotypes. We
hypothesized that the genotypic variation for these traits (i.e deeper
transpiration, lower VPD under high density) could be driven by difference in
architecture, supported by studies showing that sorghum genotypes with more
erect leaves tended to be also to stand higher planting densities (Gitz et
al., 2015).
The unanswered question from the work on the maize historical series (Perez et
al., 2019), is whether the increase in density alters the canopy architecture.
Indeed, this work on maize used artificial reconstitutions of crop canopies of
different densities and made the assumption that the architectural
characteristics of the different genotypes would not be altered by changes in
density. However, it is known that plant react in different ways to shading by
neighbor plants, for example by changing leaf angle toward more hyponasty
(more vertically oriented leaves), or apical dominance leading to internode
elongation, or reduced tillering in cereals. The detection of such signals is
based on the reception of changes in the red to far-red spectral ratios that
are detected by phytochromes (Franklin 2008). Phytochrome detections of
changes in these signals are then followed by chain reactions involving auxin
and cytokinines that eventually alter leaf orientation and development in the
3D space (hyponasty, apical dominance, …). Therefore, we hypothesize that
canopy architecture may change upon changes in the population density, in a
manner that differ among genotypes that vary in their response to density,
i.e. in their tolerance of shading by neighbor plants. It has been shown in
maize that large leaf attachment angles in the lower parts and smaller ones in
the upper parts, associated with LAI higher than 3, lead to a better light
distribution and thus to better agronomic performance (Ku et al., 2012). The
architecture of the stem apparatus is therefore not homogeneous on the
vertical axis. This gradient even seems to have an important role. That reveal
the importance of being able to study the architectural characteristics of
small and defined areas of the plant, at the scale of the organ or of sections
of interest.
Three related questions arise from these results and analysis, and are the
object of the current PhD proposal: (i) Is the positive density response
related to differences in the leaf area distribution in the canopy of sorghum
and pearl millet, as it did in maize, or to differences in other plant
architecture traits such as the leaf angle; (ii) Does the canopy architecture
changes (leaf angle for instance) when plants are exposed to in higher
population density and are certain genotypes more sensitive to such changes;
(iii) Is there a link between canopy architecture and VPD and can this
putative link be different among genotypes that vary in their response to
increased density. For that purpose, we need to progress in our capacity to
measure traits from the crop canopy that characterize its 3D organization. In
particular, we need to be able to measure the vertical distribution of leaf
area in the crop canopy to understand whether this has an effect on the
response to increased density. In parallel with that we need to be better able
to measure the angle of attachment of leaves to the stem. We need also to be
able to measure the point where leaves flag off and this data together with
the leaf attachment angle allow to measure the leaf orientation value (LOV), a
parameter that characterize canopy architecture and has been shown to relate
to density response (Ku et al., 2010). We also need to be able to measure
spectral indices characterizing the red to far-red ratio in the 3D space to
possibly distinguish genotypes that are shade tolerant from some that are not.
Digital image analysis has become a powerful tool in the past decade to obtain
information that was not easily accessible without such tools. In the domain
of plant science, phenotyping using images, generated from regular digital
camera or multi-spectral cameras, has become more and more common (Deery et
al., 2014; Araus and Cairn, 2015), using a range of devices to carry the
imaging component, from drones to semi-automated robots or scanners. So far,
much of the focus has been on 2D imaging and a lot is still to be done to
analyze images in multiple dimensions, starting from spatial 3D dimension and
including also multi-spectral reflectance information in the 3D space. Indeed,
most if not all studies still characterize crops canopies with a 2D mindset,
for instance by a leaf area, or a leaf area index, that are both 2D
parameters. Therefore, progress in that area is needed for biologists to
better understand plants and especially plant canopies in their 3D dimensions.
In this PhD thesis, we propose the double objective to make progress in how to
extract crop information in the 3D space and to better characterize the canopy
architecture of plants. The study case that we propose to support this work is
to understand better how plant respond to increases in population density,
especially with regards to light interception and vapor pressure deficit in
the canopy micro-climate. And for that, we have in hand the knowledge of
genotypes of sorghum and pearl millet that contrast in their response to an
increased planting density, and preliminary evidence that canopy architecture
and related light interception patterns are involved.

Bioinformatics software developer |
Bioinformatics software developer – Job Description The Company
STALICLA is a patient-centric clinical-stage company on a unique mission to
identify, develop and bring precision medicine to patients with
neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Overall, neurodevelopmental disorders are
disabilities in the functioning of the brain that affect a child’s behavior,
memory or ability to learn, including intellectual disability, dyslexia,
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning deficits and autism.
NDDs affect 1 in 6 children worldwide.
STALICLA’s first focus of development has been Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Today, patients diagnosed with ASD account for 1-1.5% of the world population.

STALICLA has assembled a world-class team of experienced drug developers,
clinicians, computational systems biologists, geneticists and software
engineers, developing a first-in- class precision medicine platform using
systems biology, machine learning & statistical modeling to accelerate drug
development for patients with NDDs. DEPI, the company's first-in-class drug
discovery platform, characterizes biologically similar subgroups of patients
within highly variable populations of patients with neurodevelopmental
disorders, and further identifies tailored treatments. To support its drug
discovery platform and pipeline development, STALICLA has established strong
networks within top tier research and clinical centers.
STALICLA’s platform has already proven successful in expediting and de-risking
a first pipeline, STP1, tailored to a subgroup of patients with autism
spectrum disorder which will be entering clinical trials this year. In

Post-doctoral position on air pollution monitoring and atmospheric physics |
This post-doc offer is part of the NETPLUME project: “remote sensing and
network of in-situ sensors for the surveillance, the early warning and the
monitoring of industrial particle plumes”. This project is co-funded by the
French National Research Agency (ANR) and the Hauts-de-France regional
council. It is coordinated by the Laboratory for Physico-Chemistry of the
Atmoscphere (LPCA, University of Littoral and Opal Coast) and also involves
the Laboratory of Aerology (LAERO, University of Toulouse & CNRS).
The project’s objective is to demonstrate an unprecedented ability to detect
an anomaly in the particle emissions of an industrial site, in order to give
an early warning, then help the risk-management operators to take back control
of the incident by providing tools to locate the particle plume and its
origin, and characterize its content.
The project’s methodology associates the scanning LIDAR technology to
characterize the atmosphere and locate the plumes, with in-situ measurement
and sampling devices, placed at different elevations above the ground. This
approach will allow to alert the authorities and the public, but also to
preserve samples for later analysis of the pollution composition. It makes
NETPLUME a possible technical answer to the new regulation on industrial risk
prevention and public information in case of an incident at a classified
industrial facility, that was enforced by the French government in September
2020 after the heavy fire that occurred in the Lubrizol chemical facility in
Rouen (France).
In the framework of the NETPLUME project, a preliminary test phase of the
sensors and sampling device will take place in the lab during autumn and
winter 2021, before a field deployment in Dunkerque city in Spring 2022, for
several months. Dunkerque is a harbor city with ~174,000 inhabitants, an
important industrial activity (steelwork, aluminum foundry, petro-chemistry,
liquid natural gas terminal, nuclear power plant, agro-chemistry…) and
bordered by a motorway with high truck traffic as it connects the Belgian and
Dutch ports with the Channel Tunnel to UK. The local pollution is therefore a
mix between residential, traffic and industrial emissions.
The post-doc’s job will include four tasks:
1. Develop an automated plume-recognition algorithm to locate the plumes on the horizontal scans of the Doppler lidar (Leosphere WLS100), in collaboration with lab colleagues that are experts in machine learning and pattern recognition. This part can be started even before field deployment, using data recorded during previous campaigns with the same instrument, and from the same place.
2. Participate in operating the fleet of in-situ sensors and sampling devices once it will be deployed in Dunkerque.
3. Process the data from the in-situ sensors and help to analyze chosen samples of the aerosols collected by the sampling devices, in collaboration with lab colleagues that are experts in electronic microscopy.
4. Interpret the results in regards with the local meteorological observations (wind profiles from a Doppler lidar, turbulence parameters from a sonic anemometer…).
One expected outcome will be to locate a plume on the lidar images that
overpasses an in-situ sampling device and characterize the change in aerosol
composition following the passage of the plume. |

PhD position 36 months ANR project Sal&Mieux; to study salt in food |
A PhD position is available to drive a multidisciplinary research project
combining 23Na Magnetic Resonance Imaging developments, in vivo aroma
compounds release measurement and sensory evaluation with the aim to optimize
the use of discretionary salt.
This PhD work is a collaboration between two labs from INRAE (previously
INRA). The first one, AgroResonance (Clermont-Ferrand, France), is a team
specialist of NMR/MRI while the second one, CSGA (Centre des Sciences du Goût
et de l’Alimentation, Dijon, France), gathers experts of flavor, food oral
processing and perception. This work will be carried out in Clermont-Ferrand
in the center of France during the first year (starting in September 2020,
ideally) and then in Dijon, Burgundy, for the second and third years. This PhD
is part of the ANR-funded project Sal&Mieux which purpose is to optimize the
use of discretionary salt. To do so, one should first understand how the added
salt behaves in the food matrix (Q1) and secondly how the salt released from
the food matrix is perceived in the mouth and how the aroma perception is
modulated in the course of this dynamical process (Q2).
To address Q1: complementary physicochemical (atomic absorption spectroscopy,
modelling) and imaging approaches (23Na Magnetic Resonance Imaging) will be
developed and used to quantitatively evaluate the distribution of sodium for a
variety of food matrices and their preparation process. Sodium MRI will be
performed using high field MRI equipment to tackle the mechanisms underlying
the effects of the target factors on both 3D spatial distribution and bounding
of salt. The same approach will be applied to water to understand further salt
release and perception mechanisms. The PhD student will have to set-up the MRI
experimental design, perform experiments (after training if necessary),
analyze the data and construct water and salt transfer mathematical models and
publish the results.
To address Q2: The temporal release of sodium in the mouth during consumption
of food products will be characterized using in vitro and in vivo recordings.
Salt release will be monitored in vitro, using a dedicated mouth simulator,
according to a variety of food matrices and their preparation process.
Simultaneous in vivo recordings will encompass (i) dynamic salt release and
dynamics of pH in mouth using in-mouth sensors; (ii) salt-associated aroma
compounds release to evaluate the potency of aroma compounds on overall salty
flavor and (iii) temporal sensory perception. The PhD student will have to
set-up the coupled sensory/chemical analysis design, will perform experiments,
will analyze the data and publish the results. |

Postdoctoral Fellow and PhD student (f/m/d) in CAR T cell therapy |
The ERC-funded research group of Dr. Judith Feucht at the University
Children’s Hospital Tübingen offers exciting research opportunities and a
position for a:
**Postdoctoral Fellow and PhD Student (f/m/d) in CAR T cell therapy/
Immunology**
The Feucht lab aims at enhancing and extending immunotherapeutic approaches
with Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells. CAR T cells targeting CD19 are
an effective treatment strategy in patients with refractory B cell
malignancies. Despite the clinical success with induction of complete
remissions at high frequencies, treatment with currently approved CAR designs
is curative only in a fraction of patients. We have contributed to the
development of enhanced CAR designs that are now evaluated in clinical studies
(Feucht*, Sun* et al., Nature Medicine, 2019). In addition, we have developed
CAR T cells targeting senescence cells, which open novel treatment
applications for cancer and beyond (Amor*, Feucht*, Leibold* et al., Nature,
2020). We use highly innovative gene editing strategies and clinically
relevant mouse models to gain improved understanding into CAR biology and
underlying mechanisms of therapeutic failures. We aim to develop novel gene
engineering strategies, to identify synergistic treatment strategies and to
successfully extend CAR therapy to a broader range of disease. Our overall
goal is to translate our insights into improved cellular therapies for
patients.
Responsibilities:
* Planning and conducting research experiments; establishment of novel assays and models
* Analysis, interpretation and presentation of research findings
* Contribution to grant writing, research reports and publications
* Scientific literature research and development of new ideas
* Supervision of master/ PhD students
Qualification profile:
* Motivation, passion and excitement for science are the most important attributes
* Postdoctoral fellow: A doctoral degree in biosciences (PhD, MD or equivalent); PhD student: Diploma or Master’s Degree (or equivalent) in biology, life sciences or related discipline
* Ability to work independently and as part of a team

NOTICE
ANNOUNCEMENT CALL FOR THE AWARD OF A SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP (BI) FOR
MASTER
A call is now open for the award of 1 (one) scientific research fellowship
(BI) for Master, under multi-year Financing of R&D Units 2020-2023, UI0308,
Base Founding, with reference UIDB/00308/2020, of the Institute of Systems and
Computer Engineering of Coimbra (INESC Coimbra), **BI Refª.UI0308**
/CorpPPA.1/ **2021** , with financial support from FCT/MCTES through national
funds (PIDDAC), under the following conditions:
Scientific Area: Management of Sustainable Energy Systems
Admission requirements: Holders of a Master in Science degree in the field of
Management, Economics, Engineering, or related fields, and registration in a
PhD or Advanced Studies course in the same fields (registration is not
mandatory during the application phase). Additionally, the following,
competences are required: fluent in English (oral and written), data analysis
and treatment, and knowledge in electricity systems and markets.
We emphasize that the academic degrees obtained in foreign countries require
registration by a Portuguese Institution in accordance [with Decree-Law No.
66/2018](https://dre.pt/web/guest/pesquisa/-/search/116068880/details/maximized)
of August 16 [and Ordinance No.
33/2019](https://dre.pt/web/guest/pesquisa/-/search/118484592/details/normal?q=portaria+33%2F2019)
of January 25. The presentation of the certificate is mandatory for the
signing of the contract. More information can be obtained at:
.
Work plan and objectives to be achieved: The goal is to characterize the mind
set of large and medium corporations to purchase renewable electricity through
a long term Corporate PPA. Characteristics of these type of contracts, such as
price, risks, intermittency, image, etc, are required to be taken into
account. The near future presents challenges to the electricity system
stakeholders, particularly: (i) to generation companies with a renewable
generation portfolio facing the end of the feed-in-tariffs and,
simultaneously, the approaching end of the technical life of their assets, and
(ii) to consumers with increasing electricity price volatility, creating
strain in associated production costs. The management of price stability and
risks may be a need by large and medium consumers buying renewable electricity
directly to generation companies through bilateral long-term electricity
supply contracts. These bilateral contracts, the so-called “Corporate PPAs”,
may provide a long-term stable cost to large and medium consumers and revenue
to new or existing renewable projects, lowering market risk and enabling
investments in generation capacity.
The work plan is divided according to the following tasks:
1. Identification of large consumers
2. Literature review
3. Evaluation of available methodologies
4. Methodology implementation
5. Analysis of results
6. Report and journal paper

PhD Position on Assessing the value of – open - data (MSCA-ITN ODECO) |
The EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska Curie ITN project ‘ODECO: Towards a
Sustainable Open Data ECOsystem’ (see [www.odeco-
research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu)) is a four-year project involving
15 PhD projects covering each a specific part of the open data ecosystem. The
central aim of ODECO is to train the next generation of creative and
innovative early stage open data researchers and unlock their creative and
innovative potential to address current and future challenges in the creation
of user driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystems.
Current developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly
fragmented. Open data ecosystems are often developed in different domains in
isolation of each other and with little involvement of potential users,
resulting in approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for
users. This reduces innovation and the ability to create new valued added
goods and services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users
acting as a barrier to data sharing. Efforts are also uncoordinated in open
data training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are scant.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills and research experience.ODECO has two
open positions for a PhD fellowship at KU Leuven:
* One position on Assessing the value of – open - Data at the Spatial Applications Division Leuven (SADL)
* One position on Open data and public values at the Public Governance Institute
TasksThis particular ESR-position on ‘Assessing the value of – open - data’ at
the Spatial Applications Division Leuven (SADL)’ is related to the individual
research project on ‘Value assessment and (re-)distribution in sustainable
ODECO’. The objective of this research project is to analyse and assess the
value that is created and captured in open data ecosystems, in order to
contribute to a just redistribution of value within the ecosystems.
Combining and integrating theories, approaches and methods from the ecosystem
domain and the open data domain, the sub-objectives are:
* To develop a framework for assessing the distribution of value of open data ecosystems, based on a detailed investigation of relevant literature and related practices;
* To measure value distribution in the open data e... For more information see |

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Pharmacogenomics Pain Management |
Department of Pediatrics and Department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology &
Therapeutics
Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada
We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow who will strive to make a meaningful
impact on maternal and child health by contributing to leading-edge research
aimed at improving pain management.
Pain management is often under-emphasized, yet inadequate pain relief can
interfere with a mother’s ability to care for her child, and can disrupt
sleep, impact behaviour and cause vomiting in children. In light of the
current opioid crisis, there is increased urgency to balance both safety and
effectiveness of opioid-based analgesics, while simultaneously limiting the
use of opioids. Given the resulting hesitancy associated with prescribing
opioids, we are likely undertreating pain in women and children.
Safe and effective pain management is influenced by individual genetic
differences that dictate both how we feel pain and how we respond to specific
analgesics. Using pharmacogenomics, the study of how genetic variability
contributes to individual drug responses, we are identifying genetic factors
that can help predict an individual’s need for, and subsequent response to,
opioid and non-opioid analgesics.
As part of the multi-disciplinary Canadian Pharmacogenomics Network for Drug
Safety ([CPNDS](https://cpnds.ubc.ca)) based at the University of British
Columbia, the candidate will work closely with clinicians, scientists and
patients across Canada to develop a pipeline from genetic discoveries to
predictive genetic testing to help select the safest and most effective
analgesics for women and children based on their unique genetic signatures.
* The candidate will lead projects focused on improving pain management through pharmacogenomics, where the candidate will work toward the following goal:
* Design, conduct, and disseminate findings of genetic association studies aimed at uncovering genetic factors that lead to variability in pain perception and response to opioid and non-opioid analgesics
* Focused on predicting variability in morphine-based pain relief for children and occurrence of painful toxicities resulting from childhood cancer treatment (e.g., methotrexate-induced mucositis)
* Opportunities to explore other pain management questions stemming from collaborative pursuits and develop clinical practice guidelines to enable clinical implementation of genetic testing
The candidate will conduct research at the BC Children’s Hospital Research
Institute where they will have access to state-of-the-art molecular biology,
genotyping, sequencing and analysis platforms housed within CPNDS-developed
laboratories for drug safety research and implementation.
The candidate will report directly to [Dr. Catrina
Loucks](https://bcchr.ca/cloucks), a geneticist experienced in conducting
pharmacogenomic studies. The candidate will also benefit from close
collaborations with CPNDS-trained clinicians at 32 Canadian centres to support
patient recruitment, highly experienced lab managers/technicians, [Dr. Bruce
Carleton](https://www.bcchr.ca/bcarleton) (clinical pharmacologist), [Dr.
Colin Ross](https://www.bcchr.ca/cross) (geneticist) and [Dr. Shahrad (Rod)

have extensive expertise/success in drug safety and effectiveness research
spanning genetic discoveries, validation of findings using a variety of model
systems and incorporation of predictive genetic testing into clinical care.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. The period of
funding is 2 years; however, an extended appointment of at least 3 years is
preferred given the complexity of the work involved. An extended appointment
is dependent on the ability to successfully secure additional grant/trainee
funding, where the CPNDS and CPNDS-trained postdoctoral fellows have been
extremely successful in the past.

Post doc H/F in microbial ecology |
The postdoctoral researcher will be in charge of metatranscriptomics data
production and analysis. She/He will be involved in RNA extraction and library
preparation with the support of a technician in molecular biology, and will
develop bioinformatics pipeline for NGS data analysis (quality control and
filtering, assembly, annotation with a special focus on ARG, and between
sample comparisons). She/He will also be involved in bacterial genome analysis
for ARG inventory. Depending on ARG identified, she/he will develop targeted
approaches for field sample screening using digital PCR, and perform
statistical analysis to identify drivers of ARG selection.
Aquaculture has been identified as a gateway for antimicrobial resistance
(AMR) spread worldwide. Still, little is known on AMR in the oyster
aquaculture environment. The economically important oyster species Crassostrea
gigas is cultured in coastal areas that are often contaminated by AMR
determinants (antibiotics, resistance genes, and resistant bacteria) and other
pollutants known to co-select for AMR. Moreover, antibiotics are used in
hatcheries. AMR therefore threatens the safety of coastal marine systems, the
sustainability of shellfish farming and human health. Preliminary data
obtained at the IHPE lab have shown that antibiotic-resistance genes (ARG) are
present in the genomes of oyster-associated vibrios (Rubio T et al, PNAS, 2019
; Lagorce A et al., non publié) and are expressed by the oyster-associated
microbiota (metatranscriptomic data) (Lucasson A et al., BioRxiv, 2020). A
first inventory has evidenced a broad diversity of ARG circulating in Vibrio
isolated from coastal environments used for oyster culture (unpublished). The
post-doctorate is part of the European SPARE-SEA project aimed at
characterizing the environmental spread and persistence of antibiotic
resistances in aquatic systems use for oyster farming. The objective of the
postdoctoral researcher will be (i) to estimate ARG occurrence and expression
in microbiota of oysters sampled along anthropization gradients using
metatranscriptomics analysis and (ii) to identify potential
human/environmental drivers of ARG selection in coastal marine environments
through statistical analysis. The study will be conducted in four European
regions used for oyster farming.
The candidate will be involved in a European project involving numerous
collaborators throughout Europe. She/He will join the Interactions Hosts
Pathogens Environments laboratory at the Montpellier site. |

58889: Meteorologist, Physicist, Engineer, Computational scientist or similar
(f/m/x) - Soiling Modelling and Forecasting for Photovoltaics |
**Area of research:**
Other,PHD Thesis
**Part-Time Suitability:**
The position is suitable for part-time employment.
**Job description:**
We, the Solar Energy Meteorology team within the Institute for Solar Research
are looking for a motivated meteorologist/physicist/engineer/computational
scientist (or similar) for a PhD thesis to contribute to a successful energy
transition and strengthen the solar energy potential worldwide.
The accumulation of e.g. aerosol particles on photovoltaic (PV) module
surfaces cause soiling losses and therefore reduce the solar power yield. The
goal is to model and forecast the physical mechanisms of the accumulation (and
much more like e.g. rain washing, snow, vegetation, bird droppings…) to
optimize the cleaning schedule for the whole PV power plant. Soiling can be
confused with other PV module defects and is hence also key for the
optimization of further maintenance decisions. The optimization results in an
increased plant yield, a secure operation and the minimization of maintenance
costs.
We have a strong focus on cooperation with solar energy companies to figure
out which challenges they are facing day to day. So, if you are looking for an
opportunity to apply your acquired theoretical skills from university in an
environment where you have a real impact, you fit perfectly in our group. Your
tasks will be:
* develop a soiling model based on satellite or weather model-data, as well as information on local aerosol sources and further meteorological data to create soiling maps and forecasts
* evaluate the impact of mitigation measures (e.g. cleaning of panels, cutting grass, exchange of defect modules or components, etc.) on the plant yield based on the available monitoring data and soiling forecasts to optimize the plant profitability
* analyze and optimize the economic impact of these measures
* document and publish your scientific results in papers, conferences and your PhD thesis.
Next to flexible work hours (within core time) we also offer the opportunity
for continuous education and advanced training possibilities of DLR’s Graduate
Program. You will be part of a supportive team aiming to build a sustainable
future. You will have the possibility to work every day knowing you're doing
your best to fix the planet and to fight climate change. The PhD thesis is
planned to be finalized in three years.
Are you interested in joining and supporting us working within DLR and at the
sunny Spanish Plataforma Solar de Almeria (a solar energy research center
belonging to our Spanish partner CIEMAT)?
We are always keen to improve our recruiting process: Please refer in your
application letter through which platform we caught your attention!

Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Modelling the Wheatley Heart Valve |
This project involves the mathematical modeling of blood flow from the left
ventricle into and through a novel heart valve. The flow emerges from the left
ventricle as spiral flow and enters the aortic valve. This artificial valve
consists of a titanium ring attached to a special flexible polymer with a
complex mathematical shape designed to rapidly open during systole and close
rapidly during diastole. It has three leaflets which may be modeled as curved
elastic membranes.
Thus the modeling problem involves fluid/structure interaction, that may be
modeled by the immersed boundary method. The fluid may require to be treated
as non-Newtonian. The candidate will need to have expertise in computational
fluid dynamics (especially in CFD packages for simulation of fluid-structure
interactions) or immersed boundary method, a good working knowledge of fluid
simulation package(s) and a high-level programing language. The candidate will
be based in São Carlos, state of São Paulo, Brazil, at the Center for Research
in Mathematical Sciences Applied to Industry (CeMEAI) – one of the Research,
Innovation and Dissemination Centers (RIDCs) supported by the São Paulo
Research Foundation (FAPESP) – and will be required to spend some time at
Strathclyde University, Glasgow, UK., COVID permitting. The post is initially
for one year and can be renewed for another two depending on performance.
Starting date is from October 1st, 2021.
To apply, please send a CV and a reference letter to
[**jacuminato@gmail.com**](mailto:jacuminato@gmail.com). Applications are open

innovation. We are witnessing a tremendous increase in the volume of data
across all fields, from life sciences (medicine, biology, smart cities for
urban planning and transport) to financial services (banking, stock trading,
insurance). As data size increases and data quality decreases, there is an
unprecedented need for knowledge engineering, data integration and web-scale
data management systems and methods. Novel approaches are therefore required
to cope with the scale and complexity of data and analysis tasks such as
volume, dimensionality, heterogeneity, noise and patterns. To address these
challenges, we need to employ new classes of scalable data analytics
techniques, including machine learning, and involve humans in the loop.

PhD Candidate: Safeguarding Trust in Climate Change Mitigation Projects in
Ghana |
Transnational climate change mitigation projects (TCCMPs) form part of the
wider Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda, span across multiple levels
of governance (international, national, regional, local), and involve a broad
range of actors with different worldviews and sometimes contradictory
interests. The resulting tensions are aggravated by highly unequal power
relationships. In terms of environmental justice, climate mitigation projects
often lead to asymmetric (economic, social, cultural and environmental)
outcomes and are moreover accused of neglecting local values and norms. To
remedy these problems, internationally agreed safeguard protocols have been
adopted for the governance of TCCMPs. As of yet, however, little is known
about whether these safeguards contribute to environmental distributive
justice.
In this PhD project called 'Safeguarding Trust? The Transnational Governance
of Climate Change Mitigation Projects in Ghana' you will investigate whether
TCCMP safeguards foster mutual trust and thereby facilitate the recognition of
local values, ensure equal co-determination rights, and contribute to an
equitable distribution of benefits and burdens. You will analyse local TCCMP
projects in their multi-level governance setting, including local, sub-
national, national and international levels. The empirical focus will be on
Ghana as a case study country that not only has become a major target country
for TCCMPs but also aspires to abandon foreign aid as part of its sustainable
development strategy. You will conduct multi-sited fieldwork combining
ethnographic research and participatory observation at international
organisations and in the donor country.
The project aims to deliver novel empirical and conceptual insights into the
impact of multi-level governance architectures on environmental justice.
Understanding these processes will improve the alignment of climate mitigation
projects with the SDGs and allow policy-makers and practitioners to adjust the
institutional design of transnational climate change mitigation projects.
In addition to research, you will teach courses at the Geography, Planning and
Environment (GPE) department and the Political Science department. |

PhD Position on Probabilistic Anomaly Detection for Online-monitoring in Data-
driven Resilient Control |
This PhD project is part of the DIGITAL TWIN Perspectief Program funded by the
Dutch Research Council (NWO) that brings together researchers and
organizations from six Dutch universities and seven industrial stakeholders
that represent the complete value chain from different industrial sectors
(high-tech systems, metal and composite materials) covering model-based
design, production, product monitoring and maintenance, along with five
knowledge partners that develop and deploy key technologies for high-tech
companies.
The goal of DIGITAL TWIN is to enable full digitization of the value chain of
high-tech systems and achieve flexible manufacturing systems along with
accurate predictive maintenance, by creating a synergy between model-based
engineering and data-driven learning approaches. This will be realized by
developing reliable and agile digital twins of the industrial processes that

real-time decision-making.
In addition to developing and testing research methodology and algorithms, the
successful candidates will be involved in the interaction with representatives
of various industries and stakeholders, and eventual implementation tasks on
industrial demonstrators and use cases.
In this PhD project we will develop reconfigurable and self-tuning control
systems by integrating system health-monitoring and real-time decision making
using both model-based and data-driven approaches in a probabilistically
robust framework. A set-based probabilistic approach to optimal fault
detection will be pursued using non-convex scenario optimization (combining
models and data). This will form the basis for a stochastic moving horizon
fault estimator that can be integrated in online optimization-based,
reconfigurable controllers in composite manufacturing processes, robotic
manipulators, and other high-tech systems and manufacturing applications.

Small RNAs in insect antiviral immunity |
The advent of high-throughput sequencing methods drastically changed our view
on how genomes are organized, and on how they can influence development of an
animal's phenotype. Large parts of metazoan genomes are not coding for
proteins. However, this does not necessarily imply that these regions are
merely 'junk DNA', as they may still give rise to a diversity of transcript
categories with particular regulatory functions. Currently, several classes of
small non-coding RNAs are known to interfere with gene expression at different
levels, as well as to be implicated in a multitude of biological processes.
The discovery of this additional layer of regulatory complexity initiated a
new scientific challenge, i.e. to better understand the mechanisms by which
small non-coding transcripts exert important regulatory roles.
In insects, the most speciose class of animals on our planet, several small
RNA mediated pathways play crucial roles in antiviral immunity and development
via a process that is generally designated as RNA interference (RNAi). In this
project, our research group aims to unravel their role in antiviral immunity
of Helicoverpa armigera, a major lepidopteran pest species that causes
important economic losses in agriculture. Improved knowledge of antiviral
mechanisms may also contribute to discovery of novel strategies to combat
important agricultural pests.
Based on our scientific progress and on the specific background/interests of
the selected candidate, a detailed PhD research plan will be worked out. |

PhD project: Elucidating the interplay of TORC1-Sch9 nutrient signaling, pH
management and inter-organelle communication. |
Cells of all living organisms are equipped with complex and interconnected
signal transduction pathways enabling them to make appropriate changes in cell
growth and metabolism in response to environmental changes. The Functional
Biology group has a long-standing tradition in studying the signaling network
that allows yeast cells to properly respond to nutritional signals in order to
extend cellular lifespan. This project focusses on the protein kinase Sch9 and
its central role in nutrient signaling. It is well established that Sch9
receives input from two signaling complexes, the first called TORC1, that
senses nutrient availability, and the second called SNF1, that senses the
cellular energy levels. However, more recently we found that Sch9 also
receives information on the functioning of vacuoles and mitochondria, and that
it may control a system allowing for organelle pH management. By acting as
integrator of these different signals, it appears that Sch9 can function as
molecular switch that opens or closes specific signaling circuits enabling to
enhance either nutrient uptake, storage, or recycling, which are all processes
that have a major impact on cellular ageing and longevity. We want to
understand how this Sch9-dependent molecular switch operates. |

Fully funded PhD Position: Technical interoperability in the open data
ecosystem (ODECO ESR5) |
Are you passionate about research with a societal impact? Do you want to be
part of an excellent, world-leading team of engaged open data researchers and
practitioners? Check out this position!
This fully funded PhD position is part of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska
Curie ITN project entitled "ODECO: Towards a Sustainable Open Data ECOsystem"
(see [www.odeco-research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu/)). ODECO is a four-
year project involving 15 PhD projects covering each a specific part of the
open data ecosystem. The central aim of the ODECO consortium network is to
train the next generation of creative and innovative early stage open data
researchers, to unlock their creative and innovative potential to address
current and future challenges in the creation of user driven, circular and
inclusive open data ecosystems.
Current developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly
fragmented. Open data ecosystems are often developed in different domains in
isolation of each other and with little involvement of potential users,
resulting in approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for
users. This reduces innovation and the ability to create new valued added
goods and services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users
acting as a barrier to data sharing. Efforts are also uncoordinated in open
data training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are scant.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills and research experience.
The offered PhD position _is_ to design and develop tools that improve the
technical interoperability of open government and non-government data at
platform level, including platforms/ portals within (e.g. national open data
portals and the European data portal) and between domains. Objectives are:
* To identify the current technological commons used in the open data domain including DKAN,CKAN and domain specific applications.
* To review different tools and methodologies for the analysis of different kinds of data.
* To assemble and develop manuals for each identified and developed tool ensuring technical interoperability.
* To design and develop a checker for the identified data enabling quick view from the original source; the degree of possible combination with other identified datasets in terms of data and metadata included in the datasets. The checker application will also measure the technical characteristics of each platform providing open data (licenses, quality etc.).
To design and implement an open data integrator that will address the
technical interoperability of open data from different domains.
During the PhD, the candidate will conduct this research and prepare
scientific articles presenting the research at conferences and in journals. |

Post doctoral position: Design and fabrication of self-written optical
waveguides between photonic devices for optical communications systems |
**Objectives:**
Our "digital society" relies more and more on remote high speed
communications. In this context, the design and the development of efficient
and low cost optical interconnects is crucial. VCSELs (vertical cavity surface
emitting laser diodes) operating in the near-infrared range (NIR) consititute
key photonic sources for these systems. This is due to their numerous
advantages, such as low power consumption, parallel operation and high
modulation rate capacity. However, coupling a VCSEL device to a singlemode
optical fiber is still a long and costly operation, due to poor tolerances to
axial and lateral misalignments and it often requires the use of external
optical coupling elements. Moreover, in most applications, a simple and
collective method is still missing to fabricate a "bent" optical link, in
which the vertical beams emitted by VCSEL arrays could be redirected in the
horizontal plane of the optical fibers in a compact optical module.
The "3D-BEAM-FLEX" research project aims at demonstrating a new way for
fabricating a continuous, self-aligned and flexible waveguide between a VCSEL
and a single-mode fiber. Our patented method exploits self-writing mechanisms
in novel NIR photosensitive materials and relies on a two-step photo-
fabrication process in NIR/UV ranges. Promising results have been recently
obtained on the coupling of two optical fibers in the visible range.
**Work description:**
The objective of this work is to experimentally and theoretically demonstrate
the interest of this new method for VCSEL-to-fiber coupling in the NIR range.
The first step will be to take part to the design and the development of a new
kind of multi-axis alignment optical bench. Thanks to this set-up, the
photonic and photochemical conditions for waveguide fabrication will be
studied, first at a standard wavelength, 850nm (for datacom applications) and
in a second step, at longer wavelengths, 1.31 µm and 1.55 µm (for telecom
applications). Experimental results will be compared to those given by
modeling using 3D waveguiding simulation tools. Several initial configurations
will be considered (mode size, axial distance and lateral misalignments,
photopolymer composition, exposure times) to determine the best conditions and
to prove the efficiency of the method. The studied devices will be prepared
and characterized in the LAAS clean room facilities.
Finally, new potentialities offered by additive manufacturing (3D printing)
will also be explored in order to integrate the best flexible self-written
link in a compact polymer optical module that can be foldable at 90°.
The possible applications of such optical links not only concern optical
communications systems, but also miniaturized spectroscopy and compact
sensors.
**Context:**
18 months contract. This research work will be led within the MICA team of
LAAS-CNRS lab, a unit of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique
(CNRS) in Toulouse, France, () with the help of our technological and characterization
platforms and in close collaboration with IS2M-CNRS lab
() for materials aspects. |

3. Discipline: biological sciences
4. Application deadline: 31/08/2021
5. Detailed information about recruitment process can be found on the website: [http://www.idpan.poznan.pl/index.php/doctoral-school-pds-ipas/informatio...](http://www.idpan.poznan.pl/index.php/doctoral-school-pds-ipas/information-on-recruitment-at-the-institute-dendrology-pas) and
6. Research topic: Functional traits intraspecific variability of forest herbaceous species: sources and consequences
7. Principal Investigator / Research group: prof. Andrzej M. Jagodziński, Department of Ecology
8. Project Description:
One of the most promising tools for predicting future ecosystem changes are
plant functional traits: morphological, physiological, and phenological traits
that affect the growth, reproduction, and survival of individuals and
populations. In our research project, we aim to study the intraspecific trait
variability (ITV) of forest herbaceous plant species. This group of species is
crucial for macro- and microelement cycling in forest ecosystems yet remains
poorly recognized. On the other hand, ITV allows for a better understanding of
plants’ adaptive capacities, which will significantly affect species’
responses under changing environmental conditions. The two main aims of the
project are to provide the missing data about functional traits and to study
the less addressed ITV as an important source of the total variability of
plants' functional diversity. During the project we will test the following
hypotheses:
1. The size of ITV is proportionally dependent on the spatial scale studied.
2. Climate-related factors and competition-driven factors affect ITV at a similar level.
3. ITV of evolutionarily younger species is higher than in the case of the older ones, which shows that phylogenetics determines the ITV of the species studied.
4. ITV of the species studied affects their functioning (germination, decomposition, and net production), simultaneously influencing ecosystem functioning.
5. Increasing sample size due to ITV assessment will broaden the known range of trait values and will lead to showing higher variability of the species traits and to the shift of currently used mean trait values.
6. Different traits will vary to a different extent.
We will focus on measurements of the six following traits: height, leaf area,
leaf nitrogen content, seed mass, specific leaf area, and stem-specific
density. As part of the study on the ITV sources, we planned to check how the
ITV is affected by the season, aspect, elevation, light availability,
phylogenetics, climate continentality, within-habitat, and among-habitats
interactions, and intraspecific competition. As a consequence of ITV, we plan
to study decomposition, biomass production, and seed germination. We will
compare the impact of different factors on the ITV and we will assess what are
the consequences of ITV for the functioning of the ecosystem. A significant
product of our project will be a robust database covering over 100 forest
herbaceous species.
Ph.D. student’s tasks will cover the selection of a significant part of study
plots, plant material collection, functional traits measurements, analyses of
ITV sources, and consequences of ITV for the functioning ecosystems. During
the research project, the Ph.D. student will learn differentiated tools from
the field of functional ecology. The Ph.D. student will learn to establish
study plots in the field and how to describe them, to identify plant species
occurring in temperate forests, to collect and analyze plant material, to
measure plant functional traits. The Ph.D. student will gain new analytical
skills, including phylogenetic analyses. After collecting the data, the Ph.D.
student will perform models to check the impact of environmental factors on
the ITV and to study the impact of ITV on forest ecosystem functioning. We
expect that we will publish the results in the best international scientific
journals regarding functional ecology, forest ecology, and plant biology. We
also aim to disseminate the results during the most relevant international
conferences. In the project, we planned the participation of the Ph.D. student
in at least two international conferences.
During the research project, we offer collaboration with a research group
characterized by a wide range of interests, including plant ecology and
nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Joining our research team will allow
for participation in extensive research which aims to understand the
functioning of the forest ecosystems under changing climate. We offer the
ability to freely exchange ideas and to develop scientifically in a dynamic,
permanently growing research team with significant experience in publishing in
the best scientific journals.

Post-doctoral position : Development of green solvents for biogas upgrading |
Post-doctoral position January 2022 – December 2022
Subject: Development of green solvents for biogas upgrading
The Unit of Environmental Chemistry and Interactions with Living Organisms
(UCEIV) offers a 12-month postdoctoral position. The objective of the project
is to develop new green solvents with good solubilisation capacities for
biogas impurities, namely CO2, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), terpenes and
siloxanes. The study of the physicochemical properties of these new solvents
is also part of the objectives of this project.
Keywords: Deep eutectic solvents, absorption, volatile organic compounds.
Missions:
Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES), discovered in 2003 by Abbott, have been
described as a serious and economically more realistic alternative to ionic
liquids. The supramolecular chemistry team of the UCEIV has been working since
2013 on the evaluation of DES as absorbent for VOCs. Promising results lead us
not only to optimize these systems, but also to evaluate their solubilisation
properties in other applications. Within the framework of a PIA project, the
objective of this post-doctoral position is to develop innovative solutions
for biogas upgrading in collaboration with an industrial partner.
The mission of the appointed candidate will consist in i) preparing new DES,
ii) evaluate their ability to solubilise impurities present in biogas on
simulated and real biogas samples and iii) contributing to a better
understanding of the mechanisms involved in DES formation and in the
solubilisation of targeted compounds.
Candidate’s profile:
The successful candidate should have a strong experience (thesis or post-doc)
in analytical/environmental chemistry or chemical engineering, be creative and
highly motivated. Knowledge in gas absorption, partition coefficient
measurements, modelling physicochemical phenomena will be considered as an
asset. The candidate must be able to work in a team and in collaboration with
the industrial partner. A good English level is required. |

Postdoctoral research position in transparent adhesive bonding for load
bearing structural glass elements with respect to ageing and elevated
temperaturet |
Glass load-bearing structural elements are currently used more and more often,
but due to the brittle fracture of glass, it is necessary to design these
structures with sufficient reliability. Therefore, it is necessary to pay
attention to the joints and construction details. Adhesive joints have a
number of advantages over mechanical connectors commonly used in construction.
Adhesives can provide more uniform stress distribution along the connection,
it does not weaken the bonded material and eliminates thermal bridges. The
project is focused on the treatment of the glass surface with electric plasma
to improve the adhesion at elevated temperature with respect to ageing of
adhesive bonding. Finally, full scale experiments of glass beams with adhesive
joints will be prepared for selected adhesives to verify the mechanical
behaviour of adhesive joints in real structural elements. An adhesive joint
will be created in the mid-span of the beam using one of the tested
transparent adhesive.

Postdoctoral research position in quasicontinuum modeling of lattice
structures and metamaterials |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Within this project, the candidate will develop simulation techniques and
tools for large lattice and beam networks with applications in the modeling of
stiff and soft materials and metamaterials. The unifying approach will be that
of the variationally-based quasicontinuum method developed by Rokoš and co-
workers, which we will extend by (1) robust arc-length-type control strategies
and finite-strain beam formulations to model (2) two-dimensional pattern
formation in soft porous metamaterials and (3) out-of-plane patterning of soft
textured surfaces. Besides, the new arc-length formulation holds notable
potential for other numerical schemes, such as the finite element method, and
in modeling of fracture and damage.
The project will be conducted in collaboration with Ondřej Rokoš, an Assistant
Professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Eindhoven University of
Technology, the Netherlands, and Milan Jirásek, a Full Professor at the host
institution.
Additional details on the project are available at .

Postdoctoral research position in generative design of structural members and
joints with component based finite elements |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Generative design of structural members and joints with component-based finite
elements. Structures exposed to earthquakes are designed for two levels of
resistance high and medium. In practice, load-bearing steel structures are
approximately prepared to dissipate energy in beams only. By verifying the
full load-bearing capacity of joints and columns, capacity design, the
structure is solved by the Lateral force method or Modal spectral analysis.
Significant structures are designed for dynamic stresses for given load
spectra Nonlinear static analysis or Nonlinear time-history analysis. The
energy dissipation in the joints is verified experimentally or pre-qualified
joints are prepared. The Component Method or the Finite Element Method with
Components is prepared for prequalified joints. For dynamic stresses,
approximate four-parameter relationships are currently used for modelling
joints. The proposed Theses will use the finite element method with components
equipped by Generative optimization, which will allow the significantly more
reliable automatic design of members and pre-qualified joints exposed to
seismic loading. The individual phases of the project, in which it is
necessary to deal with the design of joints, will be studied and the impacts
of different levels of BIM implementation will be taken into consideration.

Postdoctoral research position in basic creep in blended cement systems using
nanoindentation and multi-scale modeling |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
The creep of ordinary Portland cement-based concretes (OPC) has been known for
decades on laboratory samples and longspan bridges. The C-S-H phase has been
identified as the primary microstructural component responsible for the
timedependent behavior in OPC. Nowadays, blended cement systems containing
typically 20-30% of slag, fly ash, calcined clays etc. are extensively used
over practically all civil engineering applications. Databases and design
codes are based dominantly on OPC systems where blended systems are scarcely
represented. The link between chemistry of blended cement systems, their
microstructure and small-scale phase creep properties would allow more
accurate predictions, which is the main research topic. In this project, the
basic creep mechanisms and material characterization is planned to be
established by short-term microscale measurements provided by nanoindentation.
A database of basic creep functions will be created leading to a calibration
of microstructure-based multi-scale model. A 3D microstructure of the blended
system will be generated based on the thermodynamic and/or hydration models.
The results from experiments and microstructure models will be linked in
predictions based on numerical homogenization to predict creep properties of
cement paste, mortar and concrete.

PhD in Neuroscience: ESR9: Sexual dimorphism in pain-depression interactions:
a role for the endocannabinoid system? |
Objectives
To determine whether anxiodepressive phenotypes in rat models of neuropathic
pain:
1/ Exhibit sexual dimorphism, and the extent to which this is associated with
alterations in the spinal and supraspinal endocannabinoid system
2/ Are sensitive to pharmacological manipulation of the endocannabinoid
system, and determine the brain regions involved
3/ Are sensitive to deep brain stimulation (DBS), and the extent to which the
effects of DBS may be mediated by alterations in the endocannabinoid system.
Methodology
Rat models of neuropathic pain and tests of relevance to anxiety and
depression (e.g. open field, elevated plus maze, forced swim test, sucrose
preference). Rats of both sexes will be used. RT-qPCR, Western blotting, RNA
scope and/or immunohistochemistry for analysis of cannabinoid receptor
expression, and HPLC with mass spectrometry for measurement of amygdalar
endocannabinoid levels. Assessment of microtubule dynamics by Western blotting
and immunohistochemistry. Targeted pharmacological studies will determine the
effects of manipulating the endocannabinoid system. Deep brain stimulation
(DBS) within key brain regions implicated in endocannabinoid-mediated
regulation of sexual dimorphism.
Expected Results
This project will provide novel data on sexual dimorphism and pain-related
negative affect, and the involvement of the endocannabinoid system. Novel data
on the effects of DBS on pain-related negative affect in a sex-dependent
manner, and involvement of the endocannabinoid system. Training in integrative
neuroscience. The recruited researcher will be trained in and use state-of-
the-art methodologies, learn about neurobiology of neuropathic pain pain, the
psychobiology of affective processes, the endocannabinoid system, brain
pathways, and examine novel treatment strategies for chronic neuropathic pain
(e.g. DBS, endocannabinoid system modulators).

Fully funded PhD Position: Interdomain semantic interoperability (ODECO ESR7) |
Are you passionate about research in data interoperability? Do you want to be
part of an excellent, world-leading team of engaged open data researchers and
practitioners? Check out this position!
This fully funded PhD position is part of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska
Curie ITN project entitled "ODECO: Towards a Sustainable Open Data ECOsystem"
(see [www.odeco-research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu/)). ODECO is a four-
year project involving 15 PhD projects covering each a specific part of the
open data ecosystem. The central aim of the ODECO consortium network is to
train the next generation of creative and innovative early stage open data
researchers, to unlock their creative and innovative potential to address
current and future challenges in the creation of user driven, circular and
inclusive open data ecosystems.
Current developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly
fragmented. Open data ecosystems are often developed in different domains in
isolation of each other and with little involvement of potential users,
resulting in approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for
users. This reduces innovation and the ability to create new valued added
goods and services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users
acting as a barrier to data sharing. Efforts are also uncoordinated in open
data training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are scant.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills and research experience.
The offered PhD position is to enable the web of data by enhancing the
semantic interoperability between sectoral and domain specific data models and
ontologies. With a special focus to data coming from local governments, this
project will:
* To identify the different kinds of open government data coming from (local, regional and national) government data sources.
* To identify sectoral (or detailed) data and metadata models to enable cross-sectoral and multi-disciplinary research and utilisation of open data in its ecosystem
* To define the proximity of the different ontologies towards enabling the web of data.
* To create connections to the Linked Open Data Cloud (LODC) through mappings between different ontologies enhancing interoperability
* To develop an ontology including and describing the connections created paving the way towards the realisation of the web of data.
During the PhD, the candidate will conduct this research and prepare
scientific articles presenting the research at conferences and in journals. |

#### **WORK PLAN AND SCIENTIFIC ORIENTATION OF THE STUDENTSHIP**
Work plans should be focused on the specific Space-related areas described in
the respective campaign on the OSIP platform. The scientific orientation of
the candidate's work plan should be consistent with the topic of the call and,
more specifically, with the subject addressed in the proposed work plan.
This PhD grant call targets the area of Space Safety, including the following
topics:
* Space weather
* Space Debris
* Planetary defence/NEO.
Space is becoming an important asset in many sectors and, therefore, it is
crucial to take care of space infrastructures in order not to compromise the
operation of satellites and the services dependent on these.
Hazards such as space debris and certain space weather related events can
cause damage to infrastructures and, consequently, cause failures in services
and information dependent on them, which is why it is of major importance to
detect, interpret and prevent these phenomena.
Space debris is a problem of growing relevance due to the number of objects
and particles orbiting the Earth. These debris are made up of retired
satellites, disabled boosters, astronaut tools and other mission-related
fragments.
According to ESA (), as of
May 2021, there are around 4300 active satellites, but there are tens of
thousands of pieces of debris that are possible to track and catalogue, and
hundreds of thousands more that are too small to follow. When collisions or
other fragmentation events occur, more debris are created, and the problem is
aggravated.
For this reason, collisions avoidance taking advantage of advanced tools, such
as AI and machine learning, contributing and analysing space debris databases
and correcting courses, de-orbiting of malfunctioning satellites, managing the
end-of-life of satellites, the removal of objects from space as well as
recycling and manufacturing in space are all topics that are being
increasingly discussed and require attention. With the expected increase in
the number of satellites in orbit, and with the intensification of the
discussion about the sustainability of space exploration, space debris
mitigation becomes an important theme for which the development of technology
is very relevant. In-orbit servicing can also be a tool for space
sustainability, since it allows the extension of the satellite’s lifecycle by
refueling, inspecting and repairing possible defects in orbit, avoiding
technical obsolescence.
One other important aspect is planetary defence, where the required technology
is currently being studied through the Asteroid Deflection & Impact Assessment
(AIDA) mission which includes the development of two space probes: the Double
Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), from NASA, and Hera (the Asteroid Impact
Mission – AIM), which is ESA’s contribution as a first step towards a
planetary defence system. Further research and technology development needs to
be conducted and developed using also space-based detection in order to assure
a fast response because, although the chance of a major asteroid impact on
Earth is low, its consequences could be severe and irreversible.
Space weather related events are another threat not only to satellites but
also to Earth infrastructures and services. This phenomenon can have major
impacts on technology on Earth equipment and health in space. Some of the
consequences include power grid outages, disruption of GNSS and
telecommunications, damage to satellites and higher risks to aviation and
astronaut health due to the high levels of radiation. These consequences
disturb Earth’s industries and the associated services many of them essential
for performance and safety reasons. It is critical to understand more about
this phenomenon, to enhance our capabilities with the goal of having a unified
space weather system capable of forecast and prepare us for future solar
events.
#### **EVALUATION CRITERIA**
**Criterion 0 – Novelty**
For evaluation purposes, the novelty of the proposal will be addressed
according to the following definition of the concept:
* The proposal needs to address a not yet described or tested, but feasible and theoretically working embodiment.
* The proposal has to identify the features that makes it new.
* The proposal should be compared to prior activities and published state of the art.
All admitted applications must be graded from zero (0.00, minimum) to five
(5.00, maximum) in Criterion 0. **Applications with a novelty below 3.75 will
not be eligible for a scholarship**.
Once the selection of the novelty has been performed the more extensive
selection based on three criteria will be performed. All admitted applications
must be graded from zero (0.00, minimum) to five (5.00, maximum) in each of
the three evaluation criteria:
**Criterion A – Merit of the Applicant**
**Criterion A = (0,4 x A1) + (0,5 x A2) + 0,1 x A3)**
A1. Academic Career
A2. Personal Curriculum
A3. Motivation Letter
**Criterion B – Merit of the Work Plan**
**Criterion C – Merit of the Hosting Conditions**
In order to decide the conditional granting of the PhD studentships,
applicants will be ranked according to the weighted average of the score
obtained in the three criteria, following the relative weighting of: 35% Merit
of the Applicant (A); 35% Merit of the Work Plan (B); 30% Merit of the Hosting
Conditions (C), converted into the following formula:
**Final grade = (0,35 x A) + (0,35 x B) + (0,30 x C)**
Applicants whose **application is scored with a final grade lower than 3.75
are not eligible** for studentship granting.
_For an in depth description of each Criterion, please check the Notice of the
Call, available on the OSIP campaign page ()._
#### **RESULTS DISCLOSURE**
Evaluation results will be communicated to the email address provided by the
candidates in the application form, as well as in Portugal Space website.
#### **DEADLINES AND PROCEDURES FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, CLAIMS AND APPEALS**
Once the provisional ranked list of the evaluation results has been
communicated, applicants who have an unfavourable provisional decision may use
their right to dispute it during the preliminary hearing phase, which takes
place within 10 working days, according to Articles no. 121 and the following
of the Administrative Procedure Code (CPA).
The final decision will be disclosed after the analysis of applicants’
arguments presented in the preliminary hearing. Final decision can be claimed
within 15 working days or, alternatively, appealed within 30 working days,
after the communication of the final results, respectively. Applicants who
choose to submit a complaint must address their pronunciation to the member of
the FCT Board of Directors with delegated competence. Applicants who choose to
submit an appeal must address it to the FCT Board of Directors.
#### **STARTING DATE OF THE PHD STUDENTSHIP**

M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography: Glacier-ocean interactions in the
Canadian Arctic Archipelago |
**Description**
The Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) is vulnerable to climate warming, and
with over 300 tidewater glaciers, is a hotspot for enhanced glacial retreat
and meltwater runoff to the ocean. Glacier meltwater impacts the physical and
chemical oceanography on local, and potentially regional scales, yet these
impacts are poorly understood. Every year since 2019, we have collected novel
ocean observations in Jones Sound to understand the effects of glacial
meltwater on the local physical oceanography and marine ecosystems. Further,
we work extensively with a high-resolution numerical model of the Arctic and
Northern Hemisphere Atlantic Oceans designed to study ocean, sea ice and
biochemistry processes in the northern high-latitude ocean.
We seek a highly-motivated graduate student at the M.Sc. or Ph.D. level
interested in a research project that involves the analysis of a combination
of oceanographic observations and high resolution numerical model output. The
scientific questions guiding the project remain open and will relate to the
physical oceanography of the region, oceanic exchanges into fjords and their
impact on tidewater glaciers, the role of freshwater in Jones Sound, the fate
of glacier inputs on a regional scale, and/or high-resolution regional ocean

Post-doc in ecological genomics (Man/Woman) |
The post-doc will be in charge of characterizing the microbiota/pathobiota and
the abiotic (climate, soil agronomic properties...) and biotic (plant
communities ...) environment of more than 20 natural populations of A.
thaliana located southwest of France both in autumn and spring, over 3 years.
The post-doc will interact with two other post-docs located in Tubingen and
New-York, who will perform a similar characterization of more than twenty
natural populations of A. thaliana in Germany and USA. In addition, the post-
doc will be assisted in his / her activities by an engineer assistant.
Infectious disease is often the major selective agent in nature, and we cannot
understand how populations evolve without understanding their pathogenic
microbes. Beyond host immunity, an important factor determining the ability of
pathogens to invade and proliferate in a host is the resident microbiota, but
we are only beginning to glimpse its multifarious impacts. We know even less
about interactions among pathogenic microbes themselves. Any effort to explain
how pathogen communities, or pathobiota, develop within a host requires
knowledge about the extent to which pathogens engage in competition,
commensalism and cooperation, both with other pathogens and the rest of the
microbiota. In the PATHOCOM project
(), we aim
at setting up a program that integrates large-scale field observations of
microbiota/pathobiota in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana with ultra-high-
throughput experimental tests of host-dependent interactions among microbes,
allowing predicting stable pathogen-pathogen-microbiota interactions by
modelling. In this context, the postdoctoral project is part of the first
stages of the PATHOCOM project and aims to characterize the intra- and
interspecific diversity as well as abundance of pathobiota and commensal
microbiota across multiple populations of A. thaliana in south-west of France,
together with information on environmental variables and host genotypes. This
36-month postdoctoral project is funded by the ERC (European Research Council)
and will be carried out as part of an interdisciplinary and collaborative
project with the research groups of Detlef Weigel (Max Planck Institute,
Tubingen, Germany) and Joy Bergelson (New-York University, USA).
The LIPM offers an excellent scientific environment of teams working on plant-
microbe or plant-plant interactions (). As a member of
the LabEx (Laboratory of Excellence) TULIP () and of the FR AIB Research Federation (),
the LIPME also benefits from key interactions with other relevant plant and
ecology labs, local facilities and platforms (including in imagery and high-
throughput phenotyping).

Polymer Chemist - 3D-printing H/F |
-Synthesis of telechelic oligo(ionic liquid)s with photopolymerizable end functions
-Characterization of the molecular properties of the oligomers according to the usual methodologies (SEC, NMR, UV, IR)
-Study of the photo-polymerization of the oligomers in the form of ionic thermosetting networks
-Characterization of the properties of the ionic thermosetting networks according to the usual methodologies (IR, TGA, DSC, DMA, rheology, tensile test, etc.)
-3D-printing of objects starting from the most promising formulations involving oligo(ionic liquid)s and conventional photo-initiators/additives
-Study of the vitrimeric behavior of the 3D-printed objects (stress relaxation and recyclability)
The recruited post-doc will work in the frame of a project entitled:
"Reconfigurable networks obtained from readily 3D-printable poly(ionic
liquid)s" (Acronym: 3dPILs). The prime objective of this project is to develop
a new method for the synthesis of oligo(ionic liquid)s that are readily
3D-printable by stereolithography. This method needs to be simple and
industrially viable. Indeed, ionic liquids (ILs) and the polymers derived from
ionic liquids – poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) – have become essential pillars in
the field of conductive materials, notably for the construction of ion-
exchange and electroactive materials or soft actuators. The precise
prototyping and shaping of PILs is a key challenge that must be overcome to
integrate these materials into advanced technology devices. In the 3dPILs
project, we want to propose a new method to obtain oligo(ionic liquid)s that
are readily 3D-printable by stereolithography. Indeed, the superior resolution
of this additive manufacturing method is adapted to the construction of any
object from the micro- to the macro-scale.
The first objective of the recruited post-doc will be the synthesis of the
telechelic oligo(ionic liquid)s by developing a new polyaddition reaction on
the basis of previous results obtained in our team. The findings of this first
work-package could be the object of a publication on their own given the
novelty of the synthesis. The second work-package of the project will be
dedicated to the study of the free-radical UV-curing of the telechelic
oligo(ionic liquid)s. In the third work-package, the most promising
photopolymerizable formulations will be used for the 3D-printing of objects by
stereolithography. For each work-package, the synthesized oligomers and the
printed object will be characterized in terms of molecular and/or
thermomechanical properties (IR, NMR, SEC, TGA, DSC, DMA, rheology).
Remarkably, the 3D-printed polyionic networks will contain a large number of
dynamic covalent bonds. It is thus expected that the resulting materials will
exhibit a “vitrimeric” behavior and the ultimate objective of the project will
be to demonstrate that they are reconfigurable and recyclable.

PhD on the investigation of the formation of non-intentionnally added
substance |
The Laboratory of Chemistry of Organic Polymers (LCPO) is a joint research
unit affiliated to the CNRS, the University of Bordeaux and the Institut
Polytechnique de Bordeaux (). The LCPO is organized into 4
research teams with a total strength of nearly 150 people, including about 50

With over 30 years of expertise in polymer chemistry, researches at LCPO aim
at:
\- developing innovative methodologies for precision synthesis of polymers,
using in particular biomimetic and/or green chemistry pathways
\- designing functional polymer materials by macromolecular engineering and
self-assembly, in the fields of renewable materials, health and energy
\- establishing strong links with the socio-economy world.
The work of the recruited agent will be carried out in team 2 of the LCPO
Team 2, entitled "Biopolymers and Bio-sourced Polymers", is headed by Henri
Cramail.
The team explores green routes to valorize the bio-resources for the design of
sustainable polymer materials, with the following main orientations :
\- the depolymerization of ligno-cellulosic biomass and the valorization of
the products so-formed (oligo-lignin, phenols, saccharinic acids,
oligosaccharides)
\- the synthesis of bio-based monomers, mainly from lipids, and the
investigation of their polymerization (polyesters, non isocyanate
polyurethanes, polyamides, epoxy networks)
\- the chemical modification of polysaccharides, essentially cellulose and
chitosane, for the design of functional polymer materials.
Processing thermoplastics with additives produces many chemical reactions and
creates many toxic Non-Intentionally Added Substance (NIAS). Objectives: to
process three major polymers and their most common additives to understand how
NIAS are formed, see if their occurrence can be decreased by modifying
processing and evaluate the toxicity. To understand how and why NIAS are
forming, polymers and additives will be compounded and processed in well-
defined and controlled conditions. At each step, NIAS will be extracted,
identified, toxicology estimated, and their formation related to the thermo-
mechanical history experienced during processing, using a numerical simulation
of the processes. We will demonstrate how NIAS are forming, even in very
classical and simple conditions, with only a few additives used, demonstrate
that by modifying processing condition, NIAS amount and danger can be
decreased without modifying final properties and assess the safety of
recycling. |

Post doc M/F in quantitative (épi)génomics Montpellier (34) |
To study the molecular basis of oyster resistance to POMS we will study the
triptych genome, epigenome and transcriptome. This will require carrying out:
i) experiments in controlled environments , ii) molecular biology (DNA / RNA
extraction, sequencing library construction, etc.), iii) bioinformatic
processing of sequence data (filtering, mapping, SNP calling, Methylation
calling…), iv) implementation of biostatistical approaches for the
identification of the association between CpG / SNP / DEGs / molecular
phenotype/ Resistance to the disease, v) result presentation in team meetings
and congresses, vi) writing of scientific reports and articles.
Host/pathogen interactions are characterized by a co-evolutionary dynamics
through which the two partners impose strong selective pressures on each
other. Among the mechanisms involved, recent studies have shown that genetic
and epigenetic inheritance should be taken into account as a driver of
phenotypic variation and therefore of host / pathogen coevolution. Crassostrea
gigas, the most exploited oyster species in the world, has been facing the
Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS) since 2008. This disease, which has
become panzootic, represents a threat to oyster farming worldwide but display
all the characteristics of a good model for studying the mechanisms of rapid
adaptation to pathogen emergence. Indeed, recent data have shown that the
resistance of oysters to OsHV-1 µvar virus rely on several inherited but non-
exclusive molecular mechanisms, involving genetic and non-genetic (epigenetics
and microbiota) bases. The objectives of this project will be to study the
molecular bases of oyster resistance to POMS through the triptych genome,
epigenome and transcriptome. The responses to this objective will provide
resistance markers that would be used in marker-assisted selection programs
and, new empirical data to enrich the knowledge on the role of genetic and
non-genetic inheritance in species adaptability to pathogen emergence
The candidate will join the Microevolution of Interactions in the Antropocene
team of the Interactions Hosts Pathogens Environments laboratory at the
Montpellier area. He / she will have to interact regularly with the
participants of the GestInnov project within the laboratory but also with the
external partners. |

Postdoctoral Fellowship on Euclid and/or Rubin-LSST M/F |
\- Develop software required for the scientific analysis of galaxy cluster
catalogs and measurements of cross-correlations between large-scale structure
and the CMB
\- Test and evaluate code performance and scientific accuracy
\- Validate obtained results
\- Publish results in refereed scientific journals
\- Present results at meetings of the French Euclid and/or LSST consortia, and
at general meetings of the Euclid, LSST, Simons Observatory and CMB-S4
consortia
\- Present results at national and international conferences
The Postdoctoral Fellow will work with James Bartlett on cosmology with galaxy
clusters and cross-correlations between Euclid/Rubin and next generation CMB
surveys, all within the context of the Euclid, Rubin, Simons Observatory and
CMB-S4 efforts.
While both LSST and Euclid are still in preparation, we will apply our
algorithms to simulations and the recently acquired observations from the
UNIONS/CFIS survey ().
The Astroparticle and Cosmology (APC; ) laboratory of
the University of Paris seeks applications FOR A POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP in
the area of dark energy research, with specific emphasis on participation in
the European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid Mission and the Rubin Observatory
Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Understanding the nature of dark
energy, responsible for the observed accelerated expansion of the universe, is
arguably the most challenging question facing Physics and cosmology today.
Planned for launch in 2023, the Euclid mission will survey the extragalactic
sky from the Earth-Sun Lagrange point 2 with the aim of constraining the
evolution of dark energy using weak gravitational lensing, galaxy clustering,
galaxy cluster evolution and cross-correlations with the cosmic microwave
background (CMB). Rubin will begin operations in 2023, applying the same set
of observational probes across the Southern sky over the course of its ten-
year survey.
The Euclid and Rubin groups at APC are involved in both the science analysis
of the surveys and in the development of the Euclid science ground segment. We
are particularly active in galaxy cluster science, cross-correlation with the
CMB and weak gravitational lensing, and we are developing novel techniques
applying machine learning and artificial intelligence in these areas. There is
a strong synergy between the Euclid, Rubin and CMB efforts. We seek candidates
eager to work with us in the area of dark energy studies with the aim of
contributing in particular to the Euclid mission and the synergy between
Euclid and Rubin. Experience with scientific computing, statistics and data
analysis in the context of cosmology and astrophysics is recommended.
The cosmology group at APC is actively engaged in a number of forefront
experimental efforts, including teams working on the Euclid mission, the Rubin
LSST survey and the next generation CMB experiments (Simons Observatory,
LiteBird space mission, CMB-S4). The cosmology group benefits from the dynamic
scientific context at APC that hosts research groups dedicated to theory,
neutrino physics, high-energy astrophysics and gravitational waves, including
the Virgo consortium and the LISA space mission. The laboratory is situated on
the campus of the University of Paris () bordering the
Seine.

Postdoc Efficient quadrupedal locomotion for natural environment exploration |
Global warming and pollution are threatening the survival of one million over
the eight million species in forests and oceans on the planet. The EU answer
to these challenges is the European Green Deal. Among these policies, a
prominent role is given to the preservation of ecosystems by increasing the
coverage of protected biodiversity-rich land and sea areas building on the
Natura 2000 Network (N2000N). Stretching over 18% of the EU’s land area and
almost 6% of its marine territory, N2000N is the largest coordinated network
of protected areas in the world. The land and sea coverage will be increased
up to 30% within 2030. Today human operators are the only option to perform
the monitoring of such a large area. This is because their physical
intelligence allows them to move for hours in wild unstructured environments.
The artificial alternative is robotics. However, nowadays robots hardly leave
laboratories and factories because they are not robust and efficient to
survive in the real world. The Natural Intelligence (NI) project aims to serve
the European Green Deal via monitoring the natural habitats of N2000N with
quadrupedal robots able to effectively move in dunes, grasslands, forests, and
alpine terrains. NI robots will be empowered by Natural Intelligence, emerging
by the interaction of environment, body and mind, leveraging on the fusion of
physical and cognitive crucial enablers.
Your role will be to lead the development of the motor intelligence of the NI
quadruped, which can exploit the physical intelligence to reach unmatched
performance in terms of efficiency and robustness of locomotion. For example,
we think of having the quadruped jumping forward for a long distance and land
on an unstructured ground without falling or breaking. Think for example of a
mountain goat jumping from one rock to another. The algorithms that you will
develop will implement precise leg motions, while at the same time preserving
the physical intelligence of the quadruped. In analogy to how the central
nervous system controls the animal body, we aim at making this possible by
integrating a-priori information coming from models and learning strategies.
You will collaborate with researchers from the NI consortium (University of
Pisa, ETH, Imperial College of London, CSIC, Kingston University, ISPRA), with
the goal of reaching full validation of the proposed algorithms in a real
natural environment before the end of the project. |

Biology or biomedical sciences PhD student position for 6 months which can be
extended with another 3.5 years after positive evaluation |
**Context:**
If anticancer X-ray radiotherapy has been used from the 1940’s, proton
radiotherapy is a young irradiation technique that has been introduced in the
21st century. Only few elements are known concerning the metabolic response of
cancer cells to protontherapy. Hence, metabolic alterations are likely to
cause radioresistance and to promote tumor aggressiveness, notably by
stimulating the emergence of cancer stem cells and by triggering the
metastatic process. A consortium gathering four teams at UNamur and UCLouvain
has formed to work on this challenging thematic. Together, we will develop
technologies at the state of the art and unique models that will serve to
compare the metabolic responses of breast cancer cells to X-ray versus
protontherapy.
**Work environment:**
The work will be carried out mainly in the LARN laboratory at the University
of Namur and at UCLouvain.
**Job position:**
The applicant will carry out a PhD thesis and to identify metabolic modulators
of the response to radiotherapy (both using X-rays and protons). In particular
he/shell will work on intrinsic and acquired radioresistance on a set of
breast cancer cell models, well characterized in our labs. Findings will be
generalized on HNSCC cancer cells. In a second step, the applicant will
investigate irradiation-induced phenotypic changes in cancer cells (stemness
and tumor recurrence).
**Application:**
The application, consisting of a CV, a motivation letter and the contact
details of two reference persons, must be sent to Prof. Anne-Catherine
Heuskin, by e-mail by August 31st 2021 at the latest. |

Postdoctoral research position in steel structure global analysis methods
representing nonlinear stress-strain material response |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
The project focuses on new metal (mainly steel) materials in structures which
exhibits significantly non-linear stress-strain behaviour. This includes high-
alloy steels such as stainless steel, where the degree of material non-
linearity is highest among all common steels. Stainless steels are considered
as the main and reference material in the project but the project will also
cover other materials such as more common high strength steels, significantly
cold-formed carbon steels or aluminium alloys. In the second stage, it may be
used also for advanced design of steel structures at elevated temperature
(fire). The main goal is the development of elastic global analysis methods
(of various sophistication level) for steel structures representing nonlinear
stress-strain material response based on numerical simulations. The numerical
models and the reliability study will be validated on tests on stainless steel
beam-columns and portal frames carried out by the mentor’s research group
recently (2018 - 2021).

identified how the project and its objectives will contribute to its
development. The plan must contain, obligatorily, the elements indicated in
point 4.2 of this notice. Will be applied the evaluation criteria provided for
in point 6 of this notice.
**6\. EVALUATION CRITERIA**
**6.1 Evaluation Criteria**
The evaluation takes into account the merit of the applicant and the merit of
the presented work plan.
Applications considered admissible will be scored in a scale of zero (0,000
minimum score) to five (5,000 maximum score) in line with the following
evaluation criteria:
• Criterion A – **Merit of the candidate** , with a weight of **40%** ;
Sub-criterion A1 – **Academic Path** (which reflects the classification of the
academic degrees), with a weighting of **50%** on the candidate’s merit.
The score of this sub-criterion is calculated according to the final
classifications of the certificates of the academic degrees presented by the
candidate: i) Graduate’s Degree + Master’s Degree/Integrated Master’s Degree;
ii) Graduate’s Degree only; or iii) Master’s Degree only, according to Table
1.
**Table 1 – Reference table for definition of the score of the sub-criterion
A1 – Academic Path**
**Graduate’s Degree + Master’s Degree (pre or post-Bologna) -** **Integrated
Master’s Degree (300-360 credits)**
Classification | ≥18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | <14 |
Score A1 | 5 | 4,5 | 4 | 3,5 | 3 | 2,5 |
**Graduate’s Degree - 180 credits (pre or post-Bologna)**
Classification | ≥17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | <14 |
Score A1 | 3,5 | 3 | 2,5 | 2 | 1,5 |
**Master’s degree (90-120 credits) (pre or post-Bologna)**
Classification | ≥17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | <14 |
Score A1 | 3 | 2,5 | 2 | 1,5 | 1 |
Note: For calculating sub-criterion A1, will considered the classification of
the certificates submitted during the candidacy phase. In case of not being
submitted any valid certificates, the classification to be attributed to sub-
criterion A1 will be zero (A1=0).
For the purposes of application of Table 1, the following is considered:
* The final average of “Graduate’s Degree + Master's Degree”, in a pre or post-Bologna course, results from the simple arithmetic average of the final grade obtained in the 1st cycle [180 credits (ECTS)]/Graduate’s Degree and the final grade obtained in 2nd cycle [90-120 credits (ECTS)]/Master’s Degree.
* In the case of Integrated Master's Degrees awarded by institutions that do not issue certificates with differentiated final classifications of the 1st and 2nd cycles, the final classification in the degree certificate after completion of the study cycle is considered [300 to 360 credits (ECTS)].
* In the case of being presented a certificate of an integrated master's [300-360 credits (ECTS)] and a pre-Bologna or 2nd cycle master's, the final classification of the integrated master's will be, mandatorily, considered.
* In the case of submission of a graduate only or master's only certificate(s), will be applied the classifications contained in the respective columns of Table 1.
* When candidates present more than one comparable Graduate’s Degree and/or Master's Degree (equal number of ECTS credits), it is up to the panel to decide which academic degree(s) are most appropriate to the work plan and which must, therefore, be counted for the calculation of the academic path classification (sub-criterion A1). For example, if a candidate presents a Graduate’s Degree certificate and more than one Master's Degree certificate, the panel should consider the Master's Degree most appropriate the work plan. However, if a candidate presents integrated master's and 2nd cycle master's certificates (without a Graduate’s Degree or 1st cycle of studies certificate), the panel will have to mandatorily consider the integrated master's in the calculation of the classification of the academic path, as previously indicated. The evaluation panel must consider the other course(s) presented by the candidate in the evaluation of sub-criterion A2, valuing his/her personal curriculum. In either case, the methodology decided on and applied by the panel must be explained in the respective evaluation reports and minutes.
* For the purposes of calculating sub-criterion A1, certificates that specify only a qualitative classification (for example, pre-Bologna master´s), it will be converted in the terms expressed in Table 2, for the purposes of calculating the final average (graduate + master’s) and consequent determination of the classification of the academic path (by applying Table 1).
_**The conversion table for qualitative classification is available in detail
at:**_[https://www.lab2pt.net/site/?module=publicInformations&target=details&id=257
](https://www.lab2pt.net/site/?module=publicInformations&target=details&id=257)
To sub-criterion A1 will be assigned a classification of zero values (A1 = 0)
in all cases that do not fall into the situations provided for in Table 1,
such as:
* When no certificate of qualifications attesting to either a Graduate’s Degree or a Master's Degree (national or foreign) are submitted in the application process;
* When both national certificates, Graduate and Master, do not contain mention of the final classification obtained (neither qualitative nor quantitative);
* When both graduate's and master's certificates obtained abroad are not recognized or the respective final classifications are not converted to the Portuguese classification scale.
Sub-criterion A2 - **Personal Curriculum** (which reflects the scientific,
professional and academic path), with a weighting of **40%** of the
candidate's merit;
In assessing this sub-criterion, the Evaluation Panel will analyze and
consider the candidate's curriculum, evaluating his/her academic, scientific
and professional path. Academic results that were not considered for the
calculation of sub-criterion A1 and the various dimensions of the candidate's
curriculum will be considered.
Regarding letters of recommendation, a mandatory element for submission, the
Evaluation Panel will take into account the competences identified by the
references selected by the candidate.
_**In evaluating the personal curriculum, the Evaluation Panel defined the
following criteria, accordingly to the evaluation model available in detail
at:**_[https://www.lab2pt.net/site/?module=publicInformations&target=details&id=257
](https://www.lab2pt.net/site/?module=publicInformations&target=details&id=257)
Sub-criterion A3 - **Letter of motivation** , with a weighting of **10%** of
the candidate's merit.
The motivation letter will be evaluated by the Evaluation Panel taking into
account the following aspects: the clarity and motivation with which the
candidate identifies the reasons underlying his application, the proposed work
plan and the form in which intends it to be developed, as well as the
demonstrated scientific maturity.
The classification of criterion A will be obtained by applying the following
formula:
**Criterion A=(50%×A1)+(40%×A2)+(10%×A3)**
* Criterion B – **Merit of the Work Plan** , with a weighting of **60%** ;
Sub-criterion B1 – Substantiated relevance of the object of study, with a
weighting of **40%** ;
Sub-criterion B2 – Scientific quality of the state of the art and methodology
of the work plan, with a weighting of **50%** ;
Sub-criterion B3 – Feasibility of the work plan, with a weighting of **10%**.
In the evaluation of Sub-criterion B1 the Evaluation Panel will value the
clear definition of the objectives and questions of the research, the
potential contribution of the research project to the knowledge and
advancement of science and technology, as well as its connection to the plan
of activities and strategy of the Landscape, Heritage and Territory Laboratory
(Lab2PT).
In Sub-criterion B2 will be assessed the relevance of the state of the art
presented and the proposed research methodology.
Finally, in Sub-criterion B3 will be considered the adequacy of the
methodologies to the tasks and objectives foreseen in the work plan. Must be
presented a work schedule or other elements considered essential to the
analysis of this item.
The classification of criterion B will be obtained by applying the following
formula:
**Criterion B=(40%×B1)+(50%×B2)+(10%×B3)**
For the purposes of the decision on granting scholarships, candidates will be
ranked according to the weighted average of the classification obtained in
each of the two criteria, translated by the following formula:
**Final Classification =(40%×A)+(60%×B)**
For tie-breaking purposes, the ranking of candidates will be carried out based
on the classifications attributed to each of the evaluation criteria in the
following order of precedence: criterion B, criterion A.
**Important notice for candidates with degrees issued by foreign higher
education institutions:**
* Applicants with diplomas issued by foreign higher education institutions can apply and will be evaluated with the same criteria as candidates with diplomas issued by Portuguese institutions, provided that they present, in their application, proof of recognition of academic degrees and conversion of the final rating to the Portuguese rating scale under the applicable legislation.
* Applicants with foreign diplomas who do not present proof of conversion of the final classification to the Portuguese classification scale will be evaluated with the minimum classification (10 points) in sub-criterion A1.
* In any case, studentship contracts with candidates with diplomas issued by foreign institutions will only be concluded upon presentation of proof of recognition of academic degrees and conversion of the final classification, as indicated above.

PhD position in all-solid-state lithium ion batteries: advanced experimental
characterization and optimization |
4-year PhD position about advanced experimental characterization and
optimization of state-of-the-art solid-state battery systems. The research
work will be carried out at the research groups Electrochemical and Surface
Engineering (SURF) and Mobility, Logistics and Automotive Technology (MOBI) of
the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), in the framework of a Flemish project
with several academic and industrial partners. Experimental work and computer
modeling will be carried out in combination. This vacancy is focuses on
experimental research, and a second vacancy is focused mostly on computer
modeling (check other vacancy description).
Description
You will work in a multidisciplinary and multicultural research environment,
oriented to study electrochemical processes combining electrochemical
techniques, modeling, and surface characterization (both ex-situ and in-situ).
The aim of the project is to develop a material agnostic modelling tool for
the prediction of performance and lifetime (ageing) of composite cathode/solid
electrolyte materials for all-solid-state Li-ion batteries to accelerate
developments in a cost-effective way. A hybrid experimental/modelling
multiscale methodology is applied because the performance of the composite
cathode is the result of an intense interplay between several physical
phenomena that need to be understood, measured, modelled, and eventually
validated by battery lifetime testing. To perform this research you will have
access to a wide range of state-of-the-art equipment and techniques in
electrochemistry (potentiostats, electrochemcial reactors, EIS,…), surface
analysis at the nanoscale (FE-SEM, FE-Auger, XPS, Ellipsometry, AFM/STM,
Raman, ...), and industrial standard dry-room facilities and battery testers.
As the project is part of a network of academic and industrial partners, the
PhD work will be carried out in collaboration with other institutes. |

Postdoctoral research position in research of small modular nuclear reactors |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
At present, the complexity of building traditional large nuclear power units
is becoming more and more difficult, which is why worldwide research is
increasingly focusing on small modular nuclear reactors for the production of
electricity and heat. The Department of energy engineering deals with this
topic in projects and qualification theses. The involvement of a postdoctoral
worker is therefore possible immediately in a number of areas. This is mainly
the basic design of the entire reactor unit. In addition to design tasks, it
is necessary to process a number of thermal hydraulic, reactor physic and
safety analyzes. Last but not least, the work will focus on the application of
integral security methods and probabilistic risk analysis. It is also
important to work on implementation studies for real applications and the
development of a proven business model for the deployment of small modular
nuclear reactors, which determines the design of such an energy system. The
main research area at the Department of energy engineering is the molten salt
cooled micro reactor Energy Well. This concept is being developed at the
Research Center Řež and CTU collaborates on its development. One of the main
issues with these reactors is their deployment. The possible application areas
such as remote mining projects, remote settlements, desalinization units or
island countries such as Indonesia are currently being researched for their
potential. In addition application potential for district heating and hydrogen
production are under investigation as well.

mechanical, and ageing phenomena. For this purpose, you will use experimental
data (from literature and data sourced within the project), atomistic and
mesoscale modelling input (DFT, AIMD, MD and CGMD) from the other partners
within the project to develop and improve physics-based finite element models.
Description
You will work in a multidisciplinary and multicultural research group,
oriented to study electrochemical processes by combining both modelling and
experimental approaches. The aim of the project is to develop a material
agnostic modelling tool for the prediction of performance and lifetime
(ageing) of composite cathode/solid electrolyte materials for all-solid-state
Li-ion batteries to accelerate developments in a cost-effective way. A hybrid
multiscale experimental/modelling/experimental methodology is applied because
the performance of the composite cathode is the result of an intense interplay
between several physical phenomena that need to be understood, measured and
modelled. The modelling work will involve extensive collaboration with other
partners of the project, both from industry and from research center, with
diverse background, which enabling the PhD candidate to also develop her/his
interdisciplinary skills. |

Postdoctoral research position in research and development of smart building
solutions for a decarbonized integrated energy system |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Energy system integration – the coordinated planning and operation of the
energy system ‘as a whole’, across multiple energy carriers, infrastructures,
and consumption sectors – is considered as the pathway towards an effective,
affordable and deep decarbonisation of the European economy (EC document
COM/2020/299 “Powering a climate-neutral economy: An EU Strategy for Energy
System Integration”). Buildings are important in this context as they offer
ample room to increase energy efficiency and instead of being passive
consumers they should take an active role in energy supply and storage. The
Environmental Engineering Department of the CTU in Prague has a long track
record in research and development of building energy systems. The focus was
on indoor environment in terms of occupant thermal comfort, indoor air quality
and the energy performance of heating, ventilation and airconditioning
systems. However, as the role of buildings will be extended in the integrated
energy concept, the focus moves to smart solutions for optimal integration of
buildings in modern district energy (both thermal and electrical) systems. The
general research topic will be smart building energy systems in relation to
indoor environmental quality as well as to energy performance supporting the
upcoming system integration strategies. The new postdoc will support our goal
to establish a group providing research and expertise in arising topics
associated with the activities of the International Energy Agency’s Energy in
Buildings and Communities (IEA EBC) program, such as: • fuel-shift impact on
building energy systems (power-to-heat strategies), • building energy systems
as part of energy communities (communities and prosumers support), • building-
to-grid interaction (related to both thermal and electrical energy) • building
flexibility aggregation • indoor environment in the context of energy system
integration strategies • environmental impact of energy system integration
strategies.

PhD position in Nanoscale Electrodeposition: Multiscale modelling |
Applicants are invited for a four-year PhD position starting in September 2021
in the Electrochemical and Surface Engineering (SURF) research group at the
Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB- ) and Chemistry of
Surfaces, Interfaces and Nanomaterials (ChemSIN - ) at
the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Brussels, Belgium. The project is
situated within the framework for the Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (FWO)
and Slovenia Research Agency (ARRS). The student will develop and apply state-
of-the-art multiscale (electro)chemical modelling approaches for simulating
and predicting the initial stages of electrochemical phase formation
(Nanoscale electrodeposition) taking non-classical growth pathways into
account.
Description
You will work in a multidisciplinary and multicultural research group, with
people from all over the world, uniting all languages and cultures in one
large community, oriented to study electrochemical processes by combining both
modelling and experimental approaches. Nanoscale electrodeposition offers the
most versatile and scalable route for material growth. However, our current
understanding is inaccurate and incomplete: electrochemical nucleation and
growth does not proceed only by a classical pathway (direct attachment of ions
from solution), but also by non-classical routes (nanocluster surface
diffusion & aggregation, etc.). The main goal of the project is to develop
compressive model that allows prediction of the initial stages of
electrochemical phase formation considering classical and non-classical growth
pathways. A hybrid multiscale modelling/Advanced experimental methodology is
applied due to the high level of complexity of the processes and the different
time and length scale involved that need to be understood, measured and
modelled. The modelling work will be highly challenging and involve extensive
collaboration with other partners of the project, both from Belgium and
Slovenia, with diverse background, which enabling the PhD candidate to also
develop her/his interdisciplinary skills. |

Postdoctoral research position in mixing of multiphase systems |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Mixing is a key operation affecting not only the production but also the
quality of the product achieved in most production lines of the chemical and
food industry. For this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to develop
the study of processes taking place in the agitated batch of reactors and bio-
reactors with standard and especially non-standard geometrical configuration.
The research will focus on the mechanical mixing of multiphase systems,
hydraulic mixing, and mixing in apparatuses equipped with static mixers.
Special attention will be paid to the agitation of high viscosity batches that
exhibit non-Newtonian behavior (viscoplastic and viscoelastic). The research
will be based on a theoretical analysis of the transport phenomena (momentum,
heat and mass) in agitated batch, supplemented by a wide range of experiments
and CFD simulations of these processes. Theoretical and experimental results
will be interpreted not only to expand theoretical knowledge about this
process, but it will be possible to apply them in industrial production and
processing technologies and use them to design unique configurations of
industrial equipment to achieve the required technological goals. Within the
study of processes in agitated batch, it is possible to focus our interest on
the following particular research aims: • Study of hydrodynamics in an
agitated batch in equipment with nonstandard geometrical configuration. •
Mixing of high viscosity and non-Newtonian (viscoplastic, viscoelastic, …)
batch in mechanical mixing equipment and in systems with static mixers. •
Mixing of heterogeneous and high-concentrated suspensions. • Dispersion of
two-phase systems (liquid - liquid, liquid - solid, liquid - gas). • Heat
transfer in an agitated batch and between the individual phases. • Mass
transfer in an agitated batch. • Study of the kinetics of processes taking
place in an agitated batch. • Design of unique configurations of agitated
reactors, bioreactors and other mixing equipment, development of new unique
types and geometries of mechanical agitators and static mixers. • Scale-up of
mixing processes and equipment.

Postdoctoral research position in INVESTIGATION AND HARNESSING OF SUPER-HEAT
TRANSFER DURING ULTRA-FAST PROCESSES |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Sparing energy, more efficient transport and conservation of energy, as well
as more efficient cooling of systems generating heat during their operation
become one of the most important tasks to be tackled by modern science and
technology. The paradox of instantaneous propagation of energy is intrinsic to
the classical odels of energy transport. This paradox becomes well-pronounced
during ultrashort processes. To remove the paradox, phase-lagged models of
energy transport have been proposed. The analysis of the solutions to the
phase-lagged energy equations suggests that when the characteristic time of
the process is much less than the lag time, the wave mode of transport becomes
the main mechanism of energy transfer. Activities: • Theoretical studies of
ultra-short heat transfer processes, • design a prototype system, •
experimental studies – a pump-probe transient reflection.

IFREMER'S 1ST BLUE CHAIR — TWO SCIENTIFIC TOPICS: 1 - CUMULATIVE IMPACTS ON
THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT 2 - CONTAMINANTS, SEA AND HEALTH |
RESEARCH “BLUE CHAIR” TO ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE IN OCEAN SCIENCE
In order to develop new fields of research, Ifremer sets up a new scheme, the
«Blue Chairs», for a maximum duration of 5 years. This experimental scheme is
part of the Exceptional Scientific Investment Plan approved in October 2020 by
the Ifremer’s Board of Directors, in order to accelerate and amplify the
implementation of its strategic plan up to 2030 and to contribute to the
objectives of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Sciences for Sustainable
Development.
THE 1ST BLUE CHAIR ANNOUNCED IN 2021 AND LOCATED AT IFREMER ATLANTIC RESEARCH
CENTER, IN NANTES
Ifremer’s research units in Nantes have a scientific identity focused on the
interactions between sea and health, in a global One Health approach
(environmental, animal and human health). They investigate i.e.: the quality
of marine waters and the contaminations that affect them; the land-sea
continuum and the cumulative impacts of human activities; and the management
of aquaculture and fisheries resources. Ocean engineering is also an essential
topic for Ifremer, not only in Nantes but at national scale. The Ifremer
research teams in Brest and Toulon have a strong partnership with the Ecole
Centrale de Nantes and the University of Nantes in this field, particularly
within the framework of the Carnot MERS Institute. The skills of the Ifremer
teams in Nantes can strengthen this partnership by broadening the scope of
ocean engineering to include the dimensions of environmental impacts and
socio-economic drivers.
1 MERS : Marine Engineering Research for Smart, Sustainable and Safe Seas
(instituts-carnot.eu/fr/institut-carnot/mers).
TOPIC 1 Cumulative impacts on the marine environment
The coastal ocean is subject to a growing number of natural and anthropogenic
pressures generating cumulative impacts: climate change, fragmentation and
deterioration of habitats, increased inputs of chemical inputs or/and
nutrients, microbiological contamination, invasion of non-native species or
unbalanced spreading of native species, over-exploitation of living marine
resources, etc.
The issue of the cumulative impacts of human activities on the marine
environment has now been clearly identified by governments and taken into
account in a number of policies. However, too often, these impacts are still
assessed by summing up the indices of the various pressures exerted on the
environment. Tools and methods are still insufficient to adequately address
the non-linearities that may appear when similar effects are repeated (e.g.
several plants of the same nature along a catchment area) or different
activities are associated (e.g. the cumulative impact of different pollutants,
or the cumulative impacts of human activities such as renewable marine energy
and fishing).
Multi-risk analysis of simultaneous or cascading events, integrating joint
probabilities, appears a possible way forward. However, whatever methods are
used, they must aim to bring together the various scientific disciplines
working on the different risk components.
Ifremer operates observatory networks and open databases on a European scale.
The institute has undertaken innovative technological developments to
characterise biodiversity in situ (flow cytometry, eDNA). It can count on the
most up-to-date geochemical proxies for oceanic aqueous matrices through the
Ocean Spectroscopy Pole, but also on the deployment of tools facilitating in
situ chemical characterisation.
These new measurements can be used to understand the processes controlling the
physical and biogeochemical evolution of the water bodies of concern and to
build new models controlled by the processes or data.
The main scientific objective of the Blue Chair is to develop an integrative
approach, involving different research fields, to assess cumulative impacts of
human activities on the marine environment.
TOPIC 2 Contaminants, Sea and Health
The ocean is both the ultimate receptacle of chemical and biological
contaminations from the continents, and a supplier of resources, particularly
food. Within the framework of a One Health/EcoHealth approach, the land-sea
continuum is an object of primary interest that can be explored, from the
understanding of contamination pathways in marine ecosystems to the
contamination effects on health (both human and animal), as the exploited
living resources are a link between environmental quality and consumer’s
health.
Although a great deal of work already exists in this field, it often takes
into consideration only one category of contaminants at the time. However,
considering the exposome (i.e. the sum of environmental exposures throughout
life) and its consequences on human and animal health prompts for the
development of new concepts and new integrated approaches to understand the
complexity of marine ecosystem contaminations and their effects. This will be
the purpose of the «Contaminants, Sea and Health» chair.
This chair will be associated with the units of the Ifremer site in Nantes who
are developing, through various projects and with local partners, recognised
work targeting different types of contaminants (viruses and bacteria, chemical
contaminants or toxic micro-algae). The main objective is to develop an
integrative approach regarding the relationship between the contamination of
marine ecosystems and human health. This approach will be grounded in the
local projects, reinforcing the partnerhips with the health sector. |

Selection methods: The selection methods are the following:
The evaluation considers two criteria:
* The candidate’s merit and academic and professional background
* The merit of the proposed work plan
Each criterion will have a weight of 50%.
Applications considered admissible will be scored on a scale from 0 to 5 in
each of the evaluation criteria, following these sub-criteria:
Criterion A – Candidate’s Merit and Academic and Professional Background
Sub-criterion 1. Academic background (simple average of bachelor’s and
master’s classification or the final classification in integrated master) with
a weight of 50% in the candidate’s merit.
For the evaluation of the Academic background, the points will be attributed
according to the table and the following formula:
Final average = 1st cycle's (bachelor) finalclassification + 2nd cycle's
(master) finalclassification only final classification of the integrated
master.
Bachelor + Master
Classification | Points
18 | 5,0
17 | 4,5
16 | 4.0
15 | 3,5
14 | 3,0
< 14 | 2,5
Sub-criterion 2. Personal Curriculum, that reflects the scientific and
professional background of the candidate, with a weight of 50% in the
candidate’s merit.
In this criterion, the candidate’s curriculum should be evaluated in an
integrated manner, from a global viewpoint of the merit of his/her scientific
and professional background. The jury should also take into consideration the
letters of motivation and recommendation (of mandatory submission), as well as
the various aspects of the candidate’s curriculum that should reveal a
relevant scientific and professional background, mainly in the scientific
areas of the doctorate’s degree. In particular, the jury must evaluate the
quality of the document submitted by the candidate as the most relevant and
illustrative of his/her scientific/professional background along with the
explanation of its relevance presented in the letter of motivation submitted
by the candidate.
The classification of this sub-criterion should reflect an overall view of the
candidate’s personal curriculum (minimum: 1,0; maximum: 5,0)
The final classification of the criterion A – candidate’s merit and academic
and professional background – will be given by the weighted average of sub-
criterion 1 and 2.
Criterion B – Work Plan’s Merit
For the evaluation of the work plan, the jury should perform a well-founded
qualitative evaluation, based on the assessment of the elements that should
appear in the work plan, on the scientific quality of the proposal, on the
quality of its writing and on its viability.
The classification of this criterion should reflect an overall view of this
qualitative evaluation (minimum: 1,0; maximum: 5,0)
For the purposes of the decision on the granting of the PhD Research
Studentship, candidates will be ranked according to the weighted average of
the two criteria translated by the following formula:
Final Classification = (Criterion A Classification × 0,5)+(Criterion B
Classification × 0,5)
For tie-breaking purposes, the ranking of candidates will be based on the
classifications given to each of the evaluation criteria in the following
order of precedence: criterion A sub-criterion 1, criterion A sub-criterion 2,
criterion B.
Members of the selection Jury:
Joanne Paisana, Assistant Professor, University of Minho (President of the

Research fellowship |
Reference: FELLOW_BIPD/N2020/I3S/21070109/2021
i3s – Institute for Research and Innovation in Health (hereinafter i3) is
opening a call to award a grant for the development of R&D activities by PhD’s
with less than 3 years of postdoctorate, within the project
Norte-01-0145-FEDER-000051 - “Cancer Research on Therapy Resistance: From
Basic Mechanisms to Novel Targets”, funded by Programa Operacional Regional do
Norte and co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
Host Institution: i3S - Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde, Porto,
Portugal
Scientific Area: RNA, Molecular Biology, Cancer.
Project Title: “New RNA signatures of therapy evasion in cancer”.
Cancer cells usually produce mRNAs with shorter 3′ UTRs than normal cells
activating proto-oncogenes and these “RNA signatures” contributes to subtype-
specific tumour growth. The molecular mechanisms responsible for the
production of these “RNA signatures” are still mostly unknown, but these
observations raise the possibility of the use of 3’UTRs as new biomarkers and
therapeutic targets, which is what we expect to achieve in this project.
Workplans:
1\. To identify mRNA signatures, in particular mRNAs with alternative 3’UTRs,
characteristic of therapy-resistant cancer by 3’RNA-Seq and informatics
analyses;
2\. Validate candidates genes identified in 1. (gene expression and 3’UTR mRNA
isoforms), using conventional molecular and cellular methodologies – including
a dedicated RT-qPCR protocol , Northern, Western blotting,
immunohistochemistry, ELISA.
3\. Evaluate the biological relevance of the different 3’UTRs in protein
production, using reporter assays and western blot. We will use expression
plasmids to upregulate the genes or siRNAS/ASOs/CRISPR to downregulate them in
relevant cells.
4\. Proof-of-concept experiments to show that new 3’UTR RNA signatures
identified may be used as biomarkers and molecular tools in cancer.
Proliferation, viability and invasion assays will be done to test the effect
of the RNA signatures in resistance to therapy.
We will eventually use cancer patients’ samples with known clinic-pathological
information to validate the RNA signatures in a clinical context.
Admission Requirements: Mandatory: We are looking for a highly motivated post-
doc fellow with a PhD in Biomedical Sciences or related field concluded in the
past 3 years in Molecular Biology, Biology, Biochemistry, Biomedicine.
Motivation letter and two reference letters for the application to this
position are required
Preferential: Excellent practical knowledge on RNA biology, RNA-Seq and
bioinformatics. The applicant must be willing to work as part of an
interdisciplinary team. Research experience in the area, with relevant
scientific publications as first and/or co-author in the field. Experience in
planning, coordinating and conducting research projects will be valued. Oral
and poster communications at international conferences. Availability to start
the project on the 1st October 2021.
In the event the doctorate degree was awarded by a foreign higher education
institution, said degree must comply with the provisions of Decree-Law no.
341/2007 of 12 October, and all formalities established therein must be
complied with at the signature of contract.
Candidates admitted to the BIPD tender selection, among other requirements,
cannot exceed, with the conclusion of this fellowship contract, including
renewals, an accumulated period of three years in this type of fellowship,
followed or interpolated. In order to measure this assumption it is considered
of this type of scholarship awarded under Regulation No. 950/2019, of December
16, and under the previous regulatory period, financed directly or indirectly
by the FCT.
The host entity of the BIPD cannot be the same entity where the majority of
the PhD work took place, as stated at the fellowship regulation, in paragraph
4 of Article 7.
In summary, when entities are not legally distinct, it will be necessary to
assess whether there is a distinction at the level of the organic unit, the
R&D unit or the pole/delegation.
On the other hand, no more than one scholarship contract can be signed with a
given scholarship holder at the same host entity.
Legislation and other applicable regulations: Research Fellowship Holder

**Job description:**
At the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences – Agrosphere (IBG-3) we conduct
research to improve our understanding of biogeochemical and hydrological
processes in terrestrial systems. We use a combination of experiments,
modelling and innovative observation technologies to bridge the gap between
model, process and management scale. Our research contributes to the
sustainable and resource-conserving use of soils and water and to the
quantification of the effect of climate and land use change on terrestrial
ecosystems. We offer a competent and interdisciplinary working environment, as
well as an excellent framework in the areas of experiments and modelling.
**Your Job:**
In the framework of the BMBF funded joint project ‘Innovative solutions to
sustainable soil phosphorus management’ we conduct research to optimize the

mineral P-fertilizer. For this, we will use a simulation approach based on the
diffusive gradient in thin films (DGT) P content under varying management or
climatic scenarios. In this project your tasks include:
* Establishing and integrate a P module into the already existing AgroC model based on a well-established P pool and cycling concept
* Using this model to predict yield response to P-fertilization based on DGT-P
* Establishing a link between the most relevant labile inorganic P model pools and plant available soil P contents analyzed using DGT technique
* Validating the established P module using data from different long-term experimental field sites
**Your Profile:**
* Masters degree in agricultural or environmental sciences, physics, or computer sciences
* Documented experience in programming with Fortran, R, or Python
* Knowledge in the fields crop nutrient uptake, modelling, and related disciplines is preferred

PhD Position on Playing Politics - Platforms: Ambiguity and Escalation |
This PhD position is part of an interdisciplinary project on play and
politics, which is conducted by a team of closely collaborating scholars:
Prof. dr. Sybille Lammes; Prof. dr. Frans-Willem Korsten, Dr. Frank Chouraqui,
Dr. Alex Gekker, Dr. Bram Ieven, and Dr. Sara Polak.
We are looking for an excellent, highly motivated, creative and collaborative
PhD candidate to join our project _Playing Politics: Media Platforms, Making
Worlds_. Our project **** analyses how playful affordances of current media
platforms have substantially altered the way in which political actors
(politicians, citizens and other stakeholders) respond to, promulgate, and
frame political issues. Our hypothesis is that ludic or game-like forms of
political mediation or ‘casual politicking’ use such platforms to whimsically
and capriciously create worlds, which has made political force fields less
predictable. Such ludic or game-like forms manifest themselves as gender-
trolling, the use of humorous contradictions, or post-truth discourses, and
meme-sharing. This change in how politics is done calls for a reconsideration
of how politics works. By analysing ludo-political practices on media
platforms, examining the ontological relation between play, contemporary
politics and world-making, and theoretically examining media affordances in
relation to play and politics, we build an innovative approach for
understanding this shift. The project will set a new benchmark for
understanding contemporary mediatised politics. It does so by building a
comparative conceptual and methodological framework informed by media studies,
play studies and philosophy. From this interdisciplinary outset it will
develop a much-needed vocabulary to analyse and critically engage with the
workings of politics in contemporary post-digital culture.
You will engage with the work of play theorist Brian Sutton-Smith (2001), who
argued that it is difficult to understand and define play as it is in essence
ambiguous. Through this perspective you will examine social media platforms
where political messages shift rapidly in tone and style. The question is: How
are playful ambiguities used politically on media platforms and does this
require a reconsideration of the seven ambiguities as theorised by Sutton-
Smith? To interrogate this you will focus on moments when playful ambiguities
become untenable and processes of escalation kick in, by focusing on three
cases — trolling, warring, and shaming — from three different media platforms.
You will analyse what happens at such occasions when ambiguity is destabilised
and playful tactics ‘spill over’ into more risky endeavours. The project
traces how these crisis points are reached and concentrates on the potentials
of escalation that play and politics share.
Your project will be part of the first subproject ‘Media Platforms, Play,
Politics’ that besides of your research part consists of
1. Metagaming Politics: Playing Politics in the Dutch Post-digital Public Sphere (Bram Ieven);
2. American Cartoon Politics across Social Media Platforms (Sara Polak).
**Key responsibilities**
* Completion of a PhD thesis within four years (1,0 fte);
* Participation in meetings of the project research group(s) and events co-organised by the research group;
* Participation in initiatives involving stakeholders outside academia;
* Co-writing articles and longreads;
* Co-creating podcasts and other dissemination materials;
* Presentations of intermediate research results at workshops and conferences;
* Participation in the training programme of the local Leiden Graduate School, the LUCAS and a National Research School (NICA, Media Studies, or OSL);
* Participation in staff meeting of the LUCAS Modern and Contemporary cluster and the intellectual life of the LUCAS (PhD) community;
* Some teaching in the second and third years of the appointment, subject to progress and demand. |

PhD High-resolution subsurface characterization using seismic inversion-based
imaging methods combined with geologic prior knowledge/machine learning |
The seismic method has been used for several application fields of subsurface
exploration and monitoring. The resolution of the final subsurface information
is traditionally limited by the local wavelength in the medium. In addition,
traditional target area inversion for the elastic parameters is based on local
1.5D assumptions of the layering. In many cases the subsurface structures have
a multi-dimensional character with complex depositional structures. But in
case prior knowledge is available about possible fine-scaled local
stratigraphic architectures of the subsurface structures and using Machine
Learning to link this information to the observed seismic data signatures, we
aim at inverting seismic data beyond traditional resolution.
This proposed PhD project is a duo-project with a geologic counterpart, in
which all relevant geologic scenario information is generated. Thus, the
proposed project has a strong emphasis on wave theory, seismic imaging and
inversion and Machine Learning. It is within the context of a large industry-
sponsored geo-imaging project [Delphi](http://www.delphi-consortium.com) (that
is mostly executed within Delft University of Technology.

PhD position: Machine Learning for iterative metabolic engineering |
Metabolic engineering enables the development of microbial production strains
that efficiently produce bioproducts by re-routing cellular fluxes. The
increasing availability of biological data provides unique opportunities to
speed-up the engineering process through machine learning approaches. A key
challenge is to predict which genetic changes will have the desired metabolic
outcome in an industrial setting. You will investigate how AI methods can
support efficient exploration of a large solution space, for metabolic flux
optimization, genetic engineering, and ultra-high-throughput screening. You
will apply your developed methods to iterative rounds of strain improvement
for producing a food, feed or nutritional ingredient at DSM.
This project is part of the Artificial Intelligence Lab for Biosciences, the
AI4B.io Lab ([www.ai4b.io](http://www.ai4b.io)), that TU Delft and Royal DSM
recently established. It is the first of its kind in Europe to apply
artificial intelligence (AI) to full-scale biomanufacturing, from microbial
strain development to process optimization and scheduling. The AI4B.io Lab is
part of the Dutch National Innovation Center for AI (ICAI) and starts with
five synergistic research projects. You will contribute to DSM’s challenges
regarding developing bio-based products and optimizing industrial-scale
biobased processes. You will have access to real industrial R&D and/or factory
data, work in an industrial as well as an academic environment, and have the
opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skills as the AI4B.io Lab collaborates
with the Biotech Campus Delft and Planet b.io; an excellent learning and

PhD Position Nanoplastics Removal for Drinking Water |
Media attention to microplastic found in water sources and drinking water is
high and the public perceives this emerging contamination as a major health
concern. Regulators are pushing for drinking water thresholds of plastic
particles but knowledge about the removal in our current installations is
limited.
In this project, you will investigate the removal mechanisms of microplastics
during sand filtration for drinking water treatment. Sand filters are a basic,
low-tech water treatment option used all over the world. Although filtration
mechanisms for particles are well understood the high variability of plastic
types, shapes and their unknown interaction with natural organic matter and
biofilms are a challenge for the characterization, monitoring and our
understanding concerning plastic removal. You will design and operate small
pilot installations in our laboratory, employ and improve analytical
techniques and use models to investigate plastic removal mechanisms. Method
development using artificially made plastic tracers will be part of the
research. The gained knowledge will be used to give advice on process
operation and to improve current installations.

PhD Position IoT for Smart Connected Mining |
Resourcing the low-carbon future is a major societal challenge that needs to
be taken into account with a high priority. Based on a report published by
World Bank, a low-carbon future will be very mineral intensive. Clean energy
technologies need more materials than fossil-fuel-based electricity generation
technologies. For instance, the production of minerals, such as graphite,
lithium and cobalt, could increase by nearly 500% by 2050, to meet the growing
demand for clean energy technologies. This would mean that more resources need
to be found and mining operations must operate in a most optimal way to
extract more metals with minimum waste and lower costs. Diffusion of digital
technologies in mining, i.e. adoption of innovation, plays a big role in this
transformation. IoT, as part of this big picture, has the potential to be
applied across the whole mining value chain to maximise the resource
efficiency, minimise environmental impacts and improve the safety of mines.
The main goal of this PhD project to research and develop an open IoT based
platform specifically tailored for the extraction of primary raw materials and
the resulting mine waste and also to promote the adoption of IoT by the mining
industry.
As part of this research project, the workflow and processes cross the entire
mining operation will be analysed. Social aspects of IoT applications will be
studied. Smart data management and analysis strategies will be developed.
The selected PhD candidate will become part of Resource Engineering section
and will therefore benefit from facilities already available in the Faculty of
Civil Engineering and Geosciences of TU Delft. This project will also provide
the unique opportunity to work with private companies. On top of that, the PhD
candidate will also have the opportunity to present her/his work in
international venues and interact with the people that are shaping the smart
future mining. |

− Crowdsourcing techniques - user-generated data verification and processing.
− Recommender systems and conversational agents.
This position aims to explore the ample potential of smart solutions and
environments grounded on the extensive usage of data and analytics mediated by
the collaboration of machines and humans. Departing from the “V”, i.e. Variety
attribute of Big Data field, we are interested in bringing together structured
and non-structured data from heterogeneous sources, namely personal sensing
devices, IoT sensor networks, Open Government Data, user-generated data
through apps or social networks and even private data. The research position
should face the challenge of how to make sense out of data, progressing from
data into knowledge, through the collaboration of people and machines.
Hence, we are seeking a Data Scientist with expertise and interest in Hybrid
Intelligence (HI), which is an approach for combining human and machine
intelligence for decision making and data interpretation. This approach
benefits from the human ability to express and deal with complexities and the
automation, availability, and accuracy that machines provide. Our main
application domain has historically been the assembly of Smart Environments
that collaborate with users to enhance their daily activities. We are
interested on exploring the interception of the following research areas to
give place to next generation Smart Environments:
− Human Computation: is about involving citizens to annotate the world or
correct/validate inferences performed by machines, gamification can be used to
improve and validate the results driven by machines.
− Knowledge modelling and exploitation: human and machine-driven knowledge can
be effectively merged and represented in a Knowledge Graph, combining data
gathered from machine learning and human contributions. Knowledge in such
structures can then be easily exploited to infer new knowledge or build
recommenders. |

Postdoctoral Position in the Deusto Stress Research team |
**Web** :
The Vice-rectorate for Research and Transfer at the University of Deusto is
seeking postdoctoral candidates to join the Faculty of Psychology and
Education.
**Research Topic**
* Biosciences and Health: Personalized health, humanization of health, childhood and adolescence.
**Description of the collaboration**
The postdoc will be incorporated to improve the scientific productivity of the
University of Deusto in the field of mental health in adolescents and young
people.
Adolescence is a particularly vulnerable period for developing mental health
problems since 50% of mental problems appear before the age of 14, as stated
by the WHO. Mental health problems (depression, anxiety, stress, eating
problems, among others) in adolescents are the greatest predictor of mental
health problems in adulthood. Unfortunately, many adolescents suffer from
emotional difficulties undetected and untreated. Universal online assessment
and intervention models, targeting all adolescents and school-aged youth, have
the benefit of reaching youth who would otherwise go untreated. The postdoc
would work on developing risk assessment and intervention models to promote
mental health in a personalized manner. |

#### **WORK PLAN AND SCIENTIFIC ORIENTATION OF THE STUDENTSHIP**
Work plans should be focused on the specific Space-related areas described in
the respective campaign on the OSIP platform. The scientific orientation of
the candidate's work plan should be consistent with the topic of the call and,
more specifically, with the subject addressed in the proposed work plan.
* This PhD grant call targets the area of Earth Observation including the following topics:
* Smart space systems: technological developments for satellite EO constellations, autonomous exploration (for example, knowing when to capture images from space), etc;
* Use of EO satellite data and AI for application development (timelapse evolution and measurements, automatic -unsupervised and supervised- classifications, etc);
* EO and AI in support of the sustainable development goals and climate change impacts assessment, mitigation and adaptation.
Portugal’s goal to further expand its downstream sector as well as its
ambition to develop, build and maintain the next generation of satellites and
a small satellite constellation is aligned with the change of paradigm and
emergence of New Space, bringing new opportunities for small and medium sized
countries through the utilization of the increasing amount of space data
available for the development of applications. Nowadays, existent technology
enables not only space exploration for its discovery, but also for the
utilization of space solutions to help solve Earth economy problems, which, in
turn, promotes further development of space technology.
Space-based technologies and services have a broad network of downstream
activities as they provide more and more opportunities due to the private
investments in the sector. The implementation of large constellations of
interconnected satellites with multiple and integrated applications, allows
acting in domains such as Earth observation (EO), satellite navigation and
communications.
The data collected from satellites – big data from space or space data – after
being properly handled and analyzed, is a source of information with numerous
applications. Possible uses of space data include real-time retrieval of Earth
surface parameters that allows, for example, maritime surveillance by
monitoring activities such as piracy or illegal fishing. Thus, developing
advanced EO methods and improving analytical frameworks for big data from
space are an essential step to enable the use of space data, to convert it
into relevant information and potentiate its applications.
Smart space systems have been making possible to know the universe in a more
efficient way and to improve the general quality of the data gathered, so that
more relevant information is delivered. This happens through the use of
artificial intelligence (AI) that allows observing Earth from space and
capturing data when justified. AI can be an essential asset in the analysis of
the Earth and space data: given the amount of records to be analysed. AI
already allows the findings of new potential mineral deposits targets,
quantifying the biomass deforested in a time period, estimating the
construction variation in a city through time, monitoring changes in remote
places on Earth – reducing its time and personnel needed in the field –, etc.
All this is now possible due to AI recognition of small patterns and details
that would hardly be noticeable otherwise.
To invest in the scientific production/research and technology development in
the most varied areas related to space technology is to participate in the
process of increasing general quality of life, as space is gaining ground in
people’s everyday life, The relation of space technology with social concerns
becomes even more evident and pertinent when space-related services are
leveraged to help achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),
contributing to an increase in the quality of life of a significant portion of
the world's population. Goals such as Zero Hunger (Goal 2) or Clean Water and
Sanitation (Goal 6), amongst others, can be supported by using EO data
originated from satellite services for purposes such as monitoring
agricultural land and providing information for optimal management of crops
(e.g., water and fertilizer needs or harvest time) and water resources (e.g.
reservoir levels monitoring). Other examples include forest monitoring (e.g.,
deforestation activities) (Goal 15), ocean monitoring and resources management
(Goal 14) and mapping of pollution levels which would all contribute to the
climate action (Goal 13).
#### **EVALUATION CRITERIA**
**Criterion 0 – Novelty**
For evaluation purposes, the novelty of the proposal will be addressed
according to the following definition of the concept:
* The proposal needs to address a not yet described or tested, but feasible and theoretically working embodiment.
* The proposal has to identify the features that makes it new.
* The proposal should be compared to prior activities and published state of the art.
All admitted applications must be graded from zero (0.00, minimum) to five
(5.00, maximum) in Criterion 0. **Applications with a novelty below 3.75 will
not be eligible for a scholarship**.
Once the selection of the novelty has been performed the more extensive
selection based on three criteria will be performed. All admitted applications
must be graded from zero (0.00, minimum) to five (5.00, maximum) in each of
the three evaluation criteria:
**Criterion A – Merit of the Applicant**
**Criterion A = (0,4 x A1) + (0,5 x A2) + 0,1 x A3)**
A1. Academic Career
A2. Personal Curriculum
A3. Motivation Letter
**Criterion B – Merit of the Work Plan**
**Criterion C – Merit of the Hosting Conditions**
In order to decide the conditional granting of the PhD studentships,
applicants will be ranked according to the weighted average of the score
obtained in the three criteria, following the relative weighting of: 35% Merit
of the Applicant (A); 35% Merit of the Work Plan (B); 30% Merit of the Hosting
Conditions (C), converted into the following formula:
**Final grade = (0,35 x A) + (0,35 x B) + (0,30 x C)**
Applicants whose **application is scored with a final grade lower than 3.75
are not eligible** for studentship granting.
_For an in depth description of each Criterion, please check the Notice of the
Call, available on the OSIP campaign page ()._
#### **RESULTS DISCLOSURE**
Evaluation results will be communicated to the email address provided by the
candidates in the application form, as well as in Portugal Space website.
#### **DEADLINES AND PROCEDURES FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, CLAIMS AND APPEALS**

W3-Professorship "Preservation and History of Architecture" |
Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is an internationally established university with
160 years of history that is rooted in the Bauhaus tradition. It combines
science, technology, art and design. This approach determines the self-image
of the faculties of Architecture and Urbanism, Civil Engineering, Art and
Design and Media. In addition to their subject-specific functions, the
faculties are also committed to interdisciplinary collaboration and to the
interpenetration between art, science and practice.
The Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is
seeking to fill the
W3-Professorship
»Preservation and History of Architecture«
beginning on October 1st, 2022.
The successful candidate is expected to hold a doctoral degree, to have
additional research experience, and to be capable of teaching the preservation
of historical monuments and architectural history. Additionally, the
candidate's research should contribute to preparing historic preservation for
the challenges it faces in architecture and urbanism and to advance the
knowledge of architectural history necessary for this purpose.
Taking into account the current challenges we face in the preservation and
design of our living environment, we are interested not only in an
examination of the ›artistic‹ highlights in architectural and urban planning
history, but also in establishing an understanding of building history as the
history of ›anonymous‹ building knowledge, which also takes into account the
re-evaluation of pre-modern building practices and their uses in a search for
sustainable building today.
Within this context, the candidate’s research and teaching is expected to
readdress the conservation of historical monuments, especially when it comes
to modernist architecture and its urban design. In this sense, we anticipate
broad concepts for dealing with existing buildings, beyond preservation
efforts in the stricter sense.
The professorship is also responsible for teaching the history of building,
from its very beginnings to the dawn of ›modernity‹ in the 18th century, in
architecture and urban studies courses, and for contributing to the
advancement of preservation theory (in exchange with practitioners). Teaching
will take place primarily in the German-language degree programmes.
The conditions of employment are defined in § 84 of the Thuringian Higher
Education Act (Thüringer Hochschulgesetz). If these requirements are met, the
successful candidate who fills the full-time position will be employed as a
civil servant (Beamter).
Bauhaus-Universität Weimar pursues an equal-opportunity, family-friendly human
resources policy. The university’s strategic goals include increasing the
proportion of women in teaching and research. The university was awarded a
»TOTAL E-QUALITY« rating, and was given the title of »Gleichstellung:
Ausgezeichnet!« (»Gender Equality: Outstanding!«) under the Federal
Government-Countries Women Professors Programme. Bauhaus-Universität Weimar
would therefore like to expressly invite qualified female scholars and
academics to submit applications.
Individuals with disabilities will receive preferential treatment if other
qualifications are the equivalent.
Please submit your application as a PDF (one document, max. 20 MB) with the
usual documentation, including the reference number A+U/WP-14/21 by the
September 17th, 2021 to:

Postdoctoral research position in control of vibration and motion of flexible
mechanical systems |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Control of vibration and motion of flexible mechanical systems is a difficult
task due to many/infinite number of DOFs. Two promising approaches are
proposed: multiple frequency absorber by time-delay feedback control
(improvement of delayed resonator) and/or wavebased control. Both delayed
resonator and wave-based control are well established control concepts. The
proposed research is to investigate new advanced modifications of these
concepts. The open problem for delayed resonator is to reach solution with
direct design procedure ideally tunable in real time as well as experimental
demonstration of its tuning. There are proposed several approaches how to
reach that: discretized delayed system or replacement of delay by time
derivatives. The wave-based control has demonstrated impressive result in
stable and motion of many flexible mechanical systems. The open problem is how
to apply this control to any flexible mechanical system. The condition of
stability has been derived. And this condition can be used for enlargement of
flexible systems that can be stably controlled by wave-based control. The
proposed approach is to use frequency shaped feedback instead of simple one.
Both topics promise interesting research and publication opportunities.

life cycle of the material created in this way should be solved. The derived
procedures will be thoroughly verified with experimental data. The aim will be
to take into account all available knowledge at the current level of knowledge
(modeling of adhesion, material damping, degradation of physical parameters,
the influence of temperature fields, ...). Furthermore, the possibility of
using the method of 3D printing from multiple materials will be considered in
order to achieve the required local stiffness characteristics according to the
requirements of industrial practice.

Postdoctoral research position in ab initio investigation of the effect of
heavy-ion irradiation on the mechanical properties of nanostructuredalloys |

ons implantation leads primarily to the formation of vacancytype of defects
and self-interstitial atoms (SIAs). With increasing ions fluence, temperature,
and time, these point defects migrate and eventually cluster, forming
dislocation loops, voids, and stacking faults in metals. When the density of
these defects is high, coalescence will occur and some detrimental effects
will appear such as swelling, hardening, embrittlement, blisters, and
exfoliation, and direct failure. It is well established in a single crystal
that strains and stresses can strongly influence the defect growth and
impurity migration, and can consequently play a major role in the
microstructural transformations of materials under irradiation. A full
understanding of these phenomena and reliable prediction of a material
lifetime is required in multilayer systems. The successful candidate is
expected to perform ab initio simulations to reveal the effect of radiation
damage on the mechanical properties of metallic multilayers such as created
strain, elastic properties, Vicker’s hardness, and fracture toughness.

Postdoctoral research position in triboelectric nanogenerators design for
green energy production |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
The recent and fast growth of electronic miniaturization called for the
development of power nanogenerators which can harvest energy from the
environment. Among them, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are the
forefront of current research: they are capable to convert friction into
electric power. Recent findings suggest that layered transition metal
dichalcogenides (TMDs) may be the best candidate materials for TENGs with high
efficiency. We plan to study the atomic level phenomena directing the charge
current formation in layered TMD-based TENGs under tribological conditions.
Our final goal is to provide experimental guidelines on how to design
efficient TENG devices by formulating predictive paradigms on the tribocharge
generation and diffusion. Such guidelines will be possibly validated by
assembling and testing a TMD-based TENG prototype.

3 year PhD position |
_Mission_
The main objective of this thesis is to develop a microfluidic tool to
separate and capture the constituents of ice samples (inorganic or cellular
debris, bacteria, DNA…) for the metagenomic analysis of microbial communities
trapped in the ice archives.
_In a context_ of global change, it is essential to improve our understanding
of the functioning of the Earth system in order to better anticipate its
future evolution. Ice archives (ice cores extracted at high and mid-latitudes)
can contribute significantly to this effort by providing information on past
climate, but have been underexploited for probing biotic evolution over time.
To date, no comprehensive microbial record from ice cores exists, mostly due
to a lack of clean and time efficient methods to measure them. By developing
the tools necessary for studying microbial communities trapped in these
archives, it will become possible to extract complementary biological
information to chemical and physical measurements to describe past
environments.
Among the themes evaluated as strategic for the CNRS, this project was
selected by the Mission for Transversal and Interdisciplinary Initiatives to
answer this new scientific and methodological question. Within the framework
of the 80|PRIME call for proposals, a three-year doctoral and financial
support was granted to the project, which sets up a new collaboration between
two CNRS laboratories, the Institute of Environmental Geosciences and the
Ampere laboratory. The majority of the experimental work will be carried out
at the Ampere Lab in Lyon.
_The main objective_ of this thesis is to develop a microfluidic tool to
separate and capture the constituents of ice samples (inorganic or cellular
debris, bacteria, DNA…) for the metagenomic analysis of microbial communities
trapped in the ice archives. This tool could be coupled to existing chemical
measurement modules dedicated to the continuous and high-resolution analysis
of ice core samples, leading to a more complete understanding of the Earth's
evolutionary history.
_Skills_
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a master degree in
physics, and a background in microfluidics. A first experience working at the
physics/biology interface would be a plus. The candidate must be able to
integrate into teams of different cultures, have a strong taste for
experimentation, be autonomous and know how to take initiatives.

Postdoctoral research position in Optimality in Electromagnetism and Its
Feasibility |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
The main task intended for the postdoctoral research is to closely collaborate
with the principal investigators of the group on closing the gap between
fundamental bounds recently established in electromagnetism and performance of
the designs found with topology optimization. In order to close this gap, the
fundamental bounds have to be further tightened by, e.g., local energy
conservation constraints or multi-frequency behavior and, simultaneously,
topology optimization routines must be improved to better utilize complete
information about all possible shape perturbations. It is expected that within
the postdoctoral stay, the established concepts of optimality and the way how
to approach it with electromagnetic design will be extended from time-harmonic
to general time variations. Tools such as quadratic and combinatorial
optimization, modal decompositions and tools of computational electromagnetism
will be used and further developed. An emphasis will be given to the
development of in-house tools without necessity to rely on commercial
software. The application domain spans from static fields to antenna arrays,
MIMO antennas, and electrically small antennas, and to plasmonics.

Gen._DEF_SIGNADAdocx.pdf)
The candidate will join the ¨Neurobiology of Alzheimer’s disease¨ lab leaded
by Prof. Carlos A. Saura at Institute of Neuroscience (INc)-UAB
( Barcelona, Spain).
Dr. Saura’s lab is currently focused on understanding how brain functions
during memory processing and the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in
brain dysfunction, memory loss and neurodegeneration in age-related cognitive
disorders. Our lab combines molecular approaches and cutting-edge genomic,
transcriptomic and proteomic methodologies to better understand the molecular
pathways causing neuronal dysfunction, memory loss and neurodegeneration in
Alzheimer’s disease.
To study cell-specific transcriptional programs and mechanisms underlying
memory and how they are altered in Alzheimer’s disease, we recently generated
mutant mice expressing Tag transcripts in neuronal-specific populations. We
apply neurobiology, behavioral, transcriptomics and systems biology analyses
to understand the transcriptional pathways underlying neurodegeneration and
memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease mouse models.
Tasks
The research project is aimed to identify cell-specific transcriptional
changes in vulnerable neuronal circuits associated with synaptic dysfunction
and memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease. The candidate will conduct
experimental (biochemical, pathological, behavioral…), transcriptomics and
bioinformatic approaches to examine gene profiles in novel cell-specific
Alzheimer’s disease mice. We expect that these cell-specific transcriptional
studies will reveal novel disease-associated genes and pathways useful for
identifying potential novel biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets for
Alzheimer’s disease. So, we are looking for a highly motivated and strong
postdoctoral candidate with experience in transcriptomics, bioinformatics,
systems biology and/or neurobiology. |

The role
We have an opening for a Post-doctoral Researcher through the EU-funded
project PeCan (Parameterisation of large scale cancer models for personalised
therapy of triple negative breast cancer). The PeCan project uses forward
genetic strategies (CRISPR-Cas9 deletions, CROP-seq) with single cell readouts
to understand the action of key driver genes in triple negative breast cancer.
Topics for the Post-doctoral Researcher will include bioinformatic analysis of
single cell RNA sequencing experiments and interpretation of results. We are
looking for a highly motivated and creative thinking person who is interested
in working in an environment with high technical sophistication.
The selected candidate is also expected to participate in the PeCan network,
collaborate with members from the PeCan project, support project reporting and
writing of manuscripts.
About the team
The successful candidate will be integrated into the PeCan project of the
Biomedical Genomics Group lead by Dr. Ivo Gut and Single Cell Genomics Team
lead by Dr. Holger Heyn.
Dr. Ivo Gut is the CNAG-CRG director and head of the Biomedical Genomics
Group. He coordinates the ERC Synergy project [BCLL@las](mailto:BCLL@las) and
the European Advanced Sequencing Infrastructure project (EASI-Genomics),
funded by the European Commission. Dr. Ivo Gut participates in H2020 projects

understanding of diseases using different types of genomic data, novel
statistical approaches and bioinformatics. Big data approaches are used to
identify patterns on genome, transcriptome and epigenome level that correlate
with a disease and the evolution across the
course of the disease. The objective is to answer questions that go beyond the
initial hypotheses that underlay the studies to shed light on how genome
sequence, structure and usage relates to disease, disease initiation, disease
progression and disease mechanisms. The group also studies genomic features
related to disease at different cellular levels. The disease areas range from
rare to common disorders including cancer.

The Single Cell Genomics Team at the CNAG-CRG is dedicated to advance genome
research of single cells. The mission of the group is the implementation of
single-cell sequencing technologies and their application in a research and
translational context. The group focuses on the systematic integration of
transcriptional and epigenetic data from individual cells to elucidate
causalities underlying phenotype formation. We successfully established
sequencing protocols to quantify gene expression and open chromatin of
thousands of single cells. Our newly developed computational pipelines include
methods to deconvolute tissue composition and track to transcriptional
dynamics. Our international team joins computational, technical and biological
knowledge in order to establish and apply best practices in single-cell
research. The group combines collaborative research, development activities
and follows research lines on the generation of human cell atlases and on
translational cancer research. We are member of the Human Cell Atlas Project.

Master Thesis „3D Reconstruction of microstructures“ |
We are Austria’s largest research and technology organisation and an
international player in applied research for innovative infrastructure
solutions. This makes us a powerful development partner for industry and a top
employer in the scientific community. Our **Center for Vision, Automation &
Control **in Vienna invites applications for a:
**Master Thesis „3D Reconstruction of microstructures“**
## \- High-Performance Vision Systems -
**IMAGINE**
* Our Competence Unit **_[_High-Performance Vision Systems (HVS)_](https://www.ait.ac.at/en/research-topics/high-performance-vision-systems)_** has been active in research for industrial inspection and quality assurance systems for more than 20 years, which creates a stimulating and supportive framework for all students working with us.
* While writing your master thesis at AIT, you have the unique opportunity to work on an interesting real-world problem, that arose in an ongoing industrial application within an international research project, focusing on the quality inspection of so-called riblet films. Riblet films are transparent, micro-structured films that can improve the aerodynamics, i.e., reduce drag and increase the efficiency in various flow applications. For example, their application on aircrafts can substantially reduce fuel consumption.
* For quality assessment of this riblet structure, which deteriorates during the operating lifetime, 3D inspection tools are needed. In the special case of (transparent) riblets films, to infer the depth information is challenging, mainly due the lack of texture in the images. In this project we attempt to solve this problem by actively adding texture using structured light.
**ENGAGE**
* The main goal of the thesis is to evaluate a structured light approach to infer depth information from riblet films. The structured light illumination module is currently implemented and installed in our team.
* The working hypothesis to be addressed in this project is whether structured light illumination improves the accuracy of the (3D) depth information inferred from acquired riblet structure.
* During this master project you will be involved in hands-on lab work, you will learn how to acquire image data sets of different riblet structures and will get a good insight into calibration standards.
* Furthermore, you will support us in the implementation of a novel 3D reconstruction algorithm. Last but not least, there will be testing of the algorithm and evaluating the 3D reconstructions to assess the performance and added benefit of structured light illumination for riblet imaging.
**ACHIEVE**
* We expect that the additional structured illumination greatly benefits the 3D reconstruction and suspect that the evaluation performed in this thesis will reflect this hypothesis. 3D reconstruction algorithms require texture to work reliably. Thus, in theory, the texture added via structured lighting is expected to improve the 3D reconstruction quality.
* You will get familiar with state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction methods that are at the forefront of application-driven research in the field.
* You will gain insight into the applied research working environment, you will share views with our scientists and will get to know new processes and technological developments.
Your qualifications as an **Ingenious Partner*** :
* Ongoing master’s studies in Computer Science, Computer Vision/Image Processing, Mathematics, Physics or related fields
* Knowledge in computer vision and image processing
* Good programming skills in Python or MATLAB
* Ability to communicate and work in a team
* Strong self-motivation and enthusiasm for creative solutions
* Very good command of German or English (verbally and in writing)
**What to expect:**
EUR 803,-- gross per month for 20 hours/week based on the collective
agreement. There will be additional company benefits. As a research
institution, we are familiar with the supervision and execution of master
theses and we are looking forward to supporting you accordingly!
At AIT, the promotion of women is important to us - that's why we are
especially looking forward to applications from ambitious female candidates.
### **TOMORROW TODAY - WITH YOU?**
Please submit your application documents including your CV, cover letter and
certificates online: |

CALL FOR ONE RESEARCH GRANT UNDER THE WoW R&D; PROJECT |
CALL FOR ONE RESEARCH GRANT UNDER THE WoW R&D PROJECT
Job description:
The Institute of Systems and Robotics - University of Coimbra (ISR-UC) opens
the call for applications for one (1) Research Fellowship for Masters/MSc. in
the scope of the Industrial R&D Project: WoW - Wireless biOmonitoring stickers
and smart bed architecture: toWards Untethered Patients, financed by the
European Fund for Regional Development, within the scope of the
CENTRO-01-0247-FEDER-045931 call and by public funds from the Ministry of
Science, Technology and Higher Education.
Project Description:
Electronic skin (e-skin) patches that adhere to the human epidermis and
collect physiological and behavioral data, are potentially transformative in
digital health through wireless patient monitoring. Such patches can be used
to identify physiological and emotional responses through the collection and
classification of diverse multimodal data, including heart, muscle and brain
activities (ECG/EMG/EEG respectively), respiration rate, body temperature,
contractions during pregnancy, IR Response, blood oxygen, sweat analysis, body
motion, and emotional state through Galvanic Skin Response (GSR). When a
diverse range of data is fed into a classification algorithm, one may discover
new digital biomarkers, i.e. correlations between the physiological data, and
various health conditions.
Building upon the existing materials architecture and fabrication methods, WoW
proposes to move on to the next step, i.e. application of this technology for
patient care with the goal of hassle-free wireless patient monitoring, towards
untethering the patients from the hospital bed, and from the hospital itself
to foster domiciliary hospitalization. As such, WoW proposes a novel
architecture centered on a series of biomonitoring stickers for patients,
including fully untethered, simple and very low-cost printed stickers (0.5-20€
depending on the application). In this architecture, patient´s beds will have
a central role. An ad-hoc smart IoT unit will be embedded in the beds, as part
of an IoT infrastructure that connects to several biomonitoring stickers at
one end and to the Hospital Information System (HIS) on the other end. The
bed-sticker connection is not limited to data acquisition and transmission,
but also enables energy transfer through near field and far field wireless
energy harvesting via printed coils and antennas on the stickers.

PostDoc in Electronic Structure Calculations & Nonlinear X-ray Science |
**Work group:**
FS-TUX
**Area of research:**
Scientific / postdoctoral posts
**Starting date:**
07.05.2021
**Job description:**
DESY
Capabilities of modern X-ray sources such as X-ray free electron lasers open
the possibility to transfer nonlinear optical techniques from the optical
(visible) to the X-ray spectral domain. Within the DESY theory group on
“Theory of Ultrafast X-Ray Science” we are developing novel X-ray
spectroscopic and imaging techniques to unravel the electronic valence
structure of solids. Within a combined experimental & theoretical effort we
are currently investigating parametric nonlinear X-ray processes such as X-ray
optical sum/difference frequency generation and X-ray parametric down
conversion. These nonlinear processes promise to combine the spatial
resolution of regular X-ray diffraction with spectroscopic selectivity,
suitable to probe valence properties. Besides imprints of single-particle
excitations within the band-structure, the method should allow
characterization of collective excitations (plasmons) on atomistic scale.
Recently, we have developed a theoretical framework based on non-relativistic
quantum electrodynamics for describing X-ray optical wave mixing [1,2].
Currently, the underlying electronic quantities are based on density
functional theory (DFT) calculations. The heart of this project lies in the
improvement of the electronic structure calculations, by successive inclusion
of correlation effects. Starting from different flavours of Kohn-Sham DFT and
calculation of the electronic nonlinear response functions (density – current
density correlation functions) the successful candidate will successively
improve on the description of correlation effects, by application of (linear
response) time-dependent DFT, random phase approximation and adiabatic-
connection fluctuation-dissipation DFT and will explore the applicability of
other methods, such as time-dependent current density functional theory. The
theoretical results will directly tie in with the experimental activities of
the group and external collaborators.[1] C. Boemer, D. Krebs, A.

PhD: Acoustic detection of unmanned aircraft systems supported by optical
sensors (ACTION) |
_Description of the project_ :
Consumer drones can pose a serious threat both in the military and civil
domain. The capabilities to detect, classify and identify unmanned aircraft (<
20 kg), and subsequently take countermeasures, are, therefore, of key
importance, for example, for the Netherlands Armed Forces. In this project, a
multi-sensor (acoustic arrays and optics) approach will be developed,
complementary to existing detection systems such as radar and RF.
The project will be carried out within the Control and Operations Department
of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, together with the Netherlands Defence
Academy (NLDA) and the Netherlands Armed Forces.
A large part of the research will consist of developing algorithms for rapid
detection, localization and identification of the unmanned aircraft systems
based on acoustic array measurements. In addition to the acoustic
measurements, also the use of visual and infrared measurements will be
investigated. An important component is the collection of data, acquired in
dedicated field tests throughout the project, to steer algorithm development
and assess their performance. The supervisors will be prof. dr. ir. Mirjam
Snellen and prof. dr. Guido de Croon from the Aircraft Noise and Climate
Effects section and the Micro Air Vehicle Laboratory, respectively. Additional
supervision will be provided by the NLDA. Regular meetings will be held also
with the Netherlands Armed Forces. |

PhD position Transport + Energy |
In a world where many countries committed to decreasing their emissions and
limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, there
is a need to look for opportunities beyond a single sector and approach
climate change mitigation through a multidisciplinary lens. Because transport
and energy sectors are the main contributors to global emissions, your Ph.D.
research will focus primarily on these two domains. In this context, your
Ph.D. will address the urgency to leverage sector coupling to build less
carbon intensive future by exploring most relevant innovations relating to
electrification, hydrogen mobility and studying them in relation to the
capabilities of existing energy system. Results from this Ph.D. project aim to
support energy transition and sustainable mobility.
Specific attention will be given to the behavioral component of this
transition where you will have an opportunity to study intended adoption and
social acceptance of new technologies, modes, and innovations relating to
transport and energy sectors.
You will be a part of the Energy and Industry Section in the faculty of
Technology, Policy and Management. You will be supervised by Dr. Natalia
Barbour and Prof.dr.ir. Margot Weijnen. Throughout your Ph.D., your will be

PhD Position Modeling of Failure in Composites |
Thermoplastic composites are the lightweight materials of the future,
supporting the automotive and aerospace needs to reduce fuel consumption and
extend vehicle range. Optimal usage of these materials requires advanced
computational tools that can predict their performance. This project aims to
develop a micromechanical model for fiber failure in composites, and use that
model to investigate the influence of processing conditions and bonding
processes on the material performance subjected to short and long term
loading. Several fundamental challenges need to be addressed in setting up an
the micromechanical model with appropriate kinematics (for efficiency) and
constitutive relations (for accuracy). Validation of the model and
interpretation of its results will be performed in collaboration with
experimental partners. The PhD project will be supervised by Boyang Chen
(Faculty of Aerospace Engineering) and Frans van der Meer (Faculty of Civil
Engineering and Geosciences). It is part of a large project funded by the
Dutch Research Council NWO on enabling integrated lightweight structures with
thermoplastic composites involving several academic and industrial partners. |

2. Number of vacancies: 1
3. Discipline: biological sciences
4. Application deadline: 24/09/2021
5. Detailed information about recruitment process can be found on the website: [http://www.idpan.poznan.pl/index.php/doctoral-school-pds-ipas/informatio...](http://www.idpan.poznan.pl/index.php/doctoral-school-pds-ipas/information-on-recruitment-at-the-institute-dendrology-pas) and
6. Research topic: Genetic variation of Scots pine ecotypes in Poland and its evolutionary and forest management implications following environmental changes
7. Principal Investigator / Research group: prof. Witold Wachowiak, Department of Genetics and Environmental Interactions
8. Project Description:
The project aims a detailed analysis of the genetic variability of the Scots
pine populations. This species is one of the most important forest trees of
great ecological and economic importance in Europe and Asia. Populations of
this species from different environments show special features of heritable
phenotypic and physiological traits, creating local ecotypes best suited to
given environmental conditions. The project will investigate the distribution
of genetic variation in the most valuable native Scots pine breeding ecotypes
in Poland. A series of genetic analyzes will be used to compare the data with
the variability of the same genetic markers in reference populations
representative of the species distribution range in Europe and Asia. The
project will test a number of research hypotheses looking at the impact of
selection and population history factors on the variability of the native
ecotypes of the species and reference populations, which are likely to have
contributed to the emergence of Polish pine stands during the post-glacial
population migration.
The research will use a number of genetic markers in the mitochondrial and
nuclear DNA regions, the latest achievements in the field of high-throughput
genotyping of DNA polymorphic sites and a different analytical methods related
to population genetics and genomics in comparative analyzes of the genetic
variability of several dozen populations of this species. The research will
provide a detailed genetic characterization of the existing resources of Scots
pine in Poland. In particular, it will help to understand the processes that
influence distribution of genetic variation across phenotypically and
ecologically diverse populations, and define genetic relationships between
ecotypes. Information about genetic relationships between ecotypes is
necessary to better predict the likely responses of populations to changing
environmental conditions and to develop effective strategies for the
protection and management of the most valuable populations of Scots pine in
Poland, which are strongly influenced by ongoing environmental changes.
The tasks of the PhD student will include preparation of biological material
for genetic research, PCR analysis, development of new markers and genotyping
of mtDNA variants, amplification and analysis of microsatellite markers,
preparation of samples for high-throughput genotyping of SNPs, genetic
analysis of the data for various types of markers at each stage of the
research and summary of the results and their publication. We expect that the
research results will be published in high quality journals, will form the
basis for the preparation of a doctoral dissertation, and will also be
presented at scientific conferences dedicated to the undertaken research
topic. It is planned that the PhD student will participate in at least two
international scientific conferences.
We offer the opportunity to work in an experienced research team focused on
the analysis of neutral and adaptive processes shaping the genetic variability
of natural population. We provide support in carrying out works based on the
latest research achievements and our experience in publishing research results
in high quality journals. We create an atmosphere of good cooperation, the
possibility of a wide exchange of ideas and scientific development of the
person involved in research in our team.

Co-simulation techniques for BIPV assessment |
This PhD-project is part of a research project Developing Applied Building
Photovoltaics for Performance and Reliability (DAPPER). DAPPER aims at
research that provides the basics for improved planning, design choices, and
operations of BIPV systems. The four target areas are:
* improved energy yield prediction, of the entire system, and over its lifetime
* design rules, choice of components, and guidelines for maximal performance and reliability
* tools for continuous monitoring enabling self-test and predictive maintenance
* provisions for interfacing with an energy management system including energy forecasting
The project will develop novel solutions which are building on an existing
energy yield simulation framework and methodology. This is a detailed bottom-
up physics-based model for the calculation of the energy yield that will be
expanded to include the degradation rate of the respective components in order
to predict lifetime performance. We want to understand failure modes and their
effect on reliability and lifetime, and devise ways to avoid them as much as
possible. Further, we want to establish an accurate determination of the
performance by introducing and validating appropriate measurements of the
input and output power. Finally, we want to implement data analysis tools to
establish a system that lets us monitor performance and compare it to model-
based expectations.
The aim is to contribute to the co-simulation environment that allows to
achieve the above described project targets. The co-simulation environment
should in the first place allows to generate the boundary conditions for the
degradation models in the DAPPER project and should in the last stage of the
PhD be coupled to electricity grid simulations to see to what extent BIPV
affects the grid stability.
The research will be based on past and current research at the Building
Physics and Sustainable Design Section and EnergyVille and will be in
collaboration with researchers from CentraleSupélec of the University of
Paris-Saclay (France). |

Director of the Institute of Dendrology, Polish Academy of Sciences,
invites applications for the position of Post-doc
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The recruitment for 26 months concerns OPUS 17 project no.
2019/33/B/NZ9/02660, entitled “Regulation of European beech dormancy and
germination mechanisms in variable environments.”, supported by the National
Science Centre.
Principal Investigator: Dr hab. Tomasz Pawłowski, ID PAS Professor
Key words: adaptation, dormancy, environment, epigenetics, gene expression,
posttranslational modification, proteomics, transcriptomics
Project topics: Global climate change alters environmental conditions, and
thus affects reproduction of plants from seeds. Environmental factors such as
temperature, light intensity and water availability are key factors
controlling seed germination. European beech grows in a wide range of
environments and has developed a variety of adaptive mechanisms. One of the
most important mechanisms is deep physiological dormancy of seeds, ensuring
seed survival through the winter. Changes occurring in the environmental
conditions are becoming a threat to adapted local populations and the
reproductive success of trees. The aim of this study is to determine the
relationships between the germination parameters of beech seeds and different
environmental conditions, and to identify the molecular mechanisms responsible
for such adaptations. In this project, we plan to combine several levels of
research: 1. Analysis of European beech diversity in Poland in terms of the
depth of seed dormancy and germination. Germination tests will allow relating
seed dormancy and germination to environmental conditions. 2. Analysis of the
differences in gene expression among populations differing in depths of seed
dormancy. We plan to investigate the differences among seed lots of different
origins through the analysis of gene expression at the level of the
transcriptome and proteome, especially focusing on proteins undergoing post-
translational modification to regulate their activity. 3. Analysis of
chromatin structure and histones modification on the promotor region of genes
involved in beech seed dormancy depth regulation. The successful completion of
this research task allows us to indicate epigenetic mechanisms that could be
involved in regulation of beech seed dormancy and germination processes. It is
expected that the data obtained in the project will allow the evaluation of
the potential of this species to survive the environmental changes, and the
recognition of the factors regulating the adaptation of individual populations
of trees under the conditions of global warming.
Tasks for the Post-doc: The selected candidate will be involved in the
following tasks in the project: identification of post-translational modified
proteins as a result of acetylation, ubiquitination and phosphorylation using
techniques of proteomics; identification of transcriptome changes using RNAseq
and qPCR techniques. |

Postdoctoral research position in Digital Twin of Sustainable and Resilient
Urban Area |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Management of Smart Resilient City can use a variety of sensors, starting with
physical detectors, cameras, and ending with space imaging (weather
prediction, city temperature maps, and emission maps). It should be noted that
even a vehicle or a mobile phone in this concept becomes an intelligent sensor
providing important data. City management, thanks to current data, moves from
the original predefined dynamic plans to adaptive control algorithms that
ensure the coordination of entire territorial units. Different simulation
tools are used to validate individual strategies. In virtual space, it is much
easier to model responses to different types of extraordinary events. Verified
strategies can then be projected into real-estate management through
actuators, which may be both physical infrastructure facilities and navigation
or assistance services, and prospective operation of autonomous systems such
as unmanned vehicles.

Announcement about recruitment to the Poznań Doctoral School of Institutes of
the Polish Academy of Sciences at the Institute of Dendrology Polish Academy
of Sciences No. 16/2021/ID/PSD |
1. Position type: doctoral student
2. Number of vacancies: 1
3. Discipline: biological sciences
4. Application deadline: 03/09/2021
5. Detailed information about recruitment process can be found on the website: [http://www.idpan.poznan.pl/index.php/doctoral-school-pds-ipas/informatio...](http://www.idpan.poznan.pl/index.php/doctoral-school-pds-ipas/information-on-recruitment-at-the-institute-dendrology-pas) and
6. Research topic: Ecological consequences of clonal reproduction and dioeciousness exemplified with Populus alba L.
7. Principal Investigator / Research group:dr. hab. Grzegorz Iszkuło, Department of Biogeography and Systematics
8. Project Description:
The most important goal of the project is the analysis of the influence of
clonality and dioeciousness on the growth rate, climatic reaction and spatial
structure of the white poplar.
In our research, we assume that clonally reproducing individuals (ramets that
form unique genetic clone) will have a higher growth rate than singletons,
i.e. single individuals not represented by a larger number of ramets. The
reason may be that clonal plants can share resources between ramets and have
"division of labor" strategy and/or a ramet strategy of limiting investment in
generative structures (flowers and fruits) implying redirection of resources
to growth. Additionally, we will check whether female and male individuals
differ in their growth response in interaction with clonality. We assume that
females invest more resources in generative reproduction and males in growth
and clonal reproduction. At the same time, female individuals should be more
sensitive to stress related to the climate (e.g. droughts, floods, low
temperatures). Therefore, we expect the occurrence of spatial segregation of
sexes, within which female individuals may be situated in rich in nutrients
and water habitat (e.g. lower situated), and male individuals in higher
locations, facilitating their pollen spread.
To achieve the research goals, we will use genetic analyzes to check each
individual (ramet) for belonging to a specific genet. We will analyze the
growth rate and the influence of the climate by examining the tree-ring width
using the dendrochronological methodology and historical climate data.
Possibilities of spatial segregation of male and female individuals will be
investigated with statistical methods used in population genetics and ecology.
The tasks of the PhD student will include field research, laboratory works
(DNA extraction, genetic analysis using microsatellite markers), and
dendrochronological analyses.
The project includes a three-month internship at the University of Greifswald
under the supervision of prof. Martin Wilmking and prof. Martin Schnittler.
We expect that the research results will allow them to be disseminated in the
best international journals and will be the basis of the doctoral
dissertation, and will also be presented at international conferences.
As part of the project, we offer the opportunity to conduct research in an
experienced research team. We provide support in carrying out works based on
the latest research directions and experience in publishing research results
in leading scientific journals. We create an atmosphere of good cooperation
and open exchange of ideas.

Postdoctoral research position in modeling travel behavior using multi-agent
systems and activity-based approach |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
The topic focuses on modeling of travel behavior using multi-agent systems.
This topic belongs to the field of activity-based approach to travel demand
analysis. Activity-based modeling treats travel as being derived from the
demand for activity participation. The focus is thus not only on modelling
traffic, but activity participation of citizens. MATSim - an open-source
framework for implementing large-scale agentbased transport simulations – will
be used as a primary tool. MATSim is a microsimulation platform implemented as
a Java application. It also adopts the activity-based approach to generate and
simulate individuals' activities. Agent stands for the individual travelers,
and agent behavior refers to an individual's daily activity travel plan and
route choice. This topic however includes also data preparation, generation of
synthetic population and generating daily plans for each citizen / agent.
Additionally, so-called “scoring function”, will be researched. When agents
execute their plans, the plans are scored according to their economic utility.
In the MATSim software, a co-evolutionary algorithm is used to obtain
stochastic user equilibrium. The scoring function is needed for the co-
evolutionary optimization to model impact of certain policies and decisions.
MATSim has been successfully used in large projects abroad, for example in
Switzerland, Germany or the USA. Its application in Czech Republic would help,
especially in connection to traditional traffic simulation models, such as PTV
VISUM used in the city of Prague.

Postdoctoral research position in disorders of gait, postural stability and
cognition in Parkinson's disease |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Disorders of gait and stability gradually reduce quality of life in patients
with Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies. Along with
cognitive deficiency, in advanced PD they become the main survival limits,
whereas dementia with Lewy bodies produces cognitive impairment from the onset
of the disease. However, in the premotor stages of synucleinopathies, ie. in
subjects with idiopathic REM sleep disorder (iRBD), the impairment of gait,
stability and cognition is not evident at standard clinical examination. In
this project, we plan to prospectively test patients with iRBD and patients
with fully blown PD. We will look at the interrelationships between gait and
cognitive disorders and their morphological and functional correlates, which
will contribute to better understanding of the mechanisms of disability and
allow for an earlier differentiation of clinical forms of synucleinopathies.
In addition, in patients with advanced PD, we will test new procedures of
cognitive rehabilitation, which can improve not only cognitive functions, but
also gait and stability.

Master Thesis „Holographic inline computational imaging“
## \- High-Performance Vision Systems -
**IMAGINE**
* Holographic imaging is a broadly used technique in medical imaging, however the adaptation to industrial processes is still not fully employed and has high potential. This applies especially in the area of high-precision and detailed quality analysis for industrial production, because holographic imaging enables extremely detailed surfaces depths down to the nanometer range with comparable low technological effort.
* Holographic inline computational imaging (Holo ICI) uses the method of off-axis holography enabling single shot holographic image reconstruction. This makes Holo ICI an ideal candidate for fast inline inspection tasks (inline in this context means during manufacturing processes). Developing Holo ICI in combination with multiple wavelengths and the employment of digital refocusing techniques enables depth reconstruction outperforming the depth of field of classical stereoscopic imaging setups by one or several orders of magnitude.
**ENGAGE**
* While writing your master thesis in our muldisciplinary team, part of the Competence Unit **_[_High-Performance Vision Systems (HVS)_](https://www.ait.ac.at/en/research-topics/high-performance-vision-systems)_** , you will be focusing on building an off-axis holographic imaging setup or prototype Holo ICI system. In order to do this, you will be using our top-notch technology and will learn how to use at least two different laser sources and a standard industrial camera.
* For the holographic reconstruction, digital image processing steps need to be applied, for both digital refocusing and image reconstruction. Throughout the whole process you will collaborate with our scientists and will be supported by our team of experts.
* On this account, during this master thesis, you will:
* (1) deal with the design of the Holo ICI system including optical considerations such as oversampling and spatial resolution
* (2) support us in building a prototype Holo ICI system including mechanical mounting and alignment using standard components
* (3) practice the Integration of camera and computer hardware for image acquisition and data storage
* (4) learn how to reconstruct holographic images including post processing for image reconstruction and digital refocusing
**ACHIEVE**
* The main deliverable of this project is a working prototype Holo ICI system that incorporates two or more lasers in the setup. We expect that this holographic approach will extend the depth of field and spatial depth resolution of classical ICI through digital image propagation into different depth positions.
* You will learn the basics of holographic imaging and digital methods of holographic image propagation and reconstruction.
* You will broaden your knowledge in optical design and alignment, will gain first-hand experience and acquire know-how on current trends and developments in machine vision.
* You will experience the working environment in the scientific field of computational imaging, and at the same time, you have the chance to work closely and towards use cases that are relevant in ongoing industrial projects at AIT.
Your qualifications as an **Ingenious Partner*** :
* Ongoing master’s studies in Physics – preferably specialization in imaging techniques and optics
* Good knowledge in Fourier optics
* Basic knowledge in image processing with MATLAB or Python
* Enthusiastic about planning and conducting scientific studies
* Interested in technology development and applied research driven by real-world problems
* High level of commitment and team spirit
* Very good command of German or English (verbally and in writing)
**What to expect:**
EUR 803,-- gross per month for 20 hours/week based on the collective
agreement. There will be additional company benefits. As a research
institution, we are familiar with the supervision and execution of master
theses and we are looking forward to supporting you accordingly!

Master Thesis „Optical inspection of the arc additive manufacturing process“ |
We are Austria’s largest research and technology organisation and an
international player in applied research for innovative infrastructure

employer in the scientific community. Our **Center for Vision, Automation &
Control **in Vienna invites applications for a:
Master Thesis „Optical inspection of the arc additive manufacturing process“
## \- High-Performance Vision Systems -
**IMAGINE**
* Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAM) is a novel 3D printing process enabling close-to-shape production with drastically reduced energy and resource consumption compared to traditional manufacturing methods. However, due to the dynamic behavior of the WAM process, a stable manufacturing process is challenging and not straightforward to implement. Current WAM systems usually need to run several trials, for fine-tuning of optimal production settings. If a dynamic feedback loop during manufacturing were implemented these trial runs could be minimized and/or avoided, for instance through temperature and material control of the welding wire.
* Real-time visual and sensory inputs are used to calculate a virtual image or digital shadow of real things or a digital twin of the current manufacturing process status, which is compared with a precalculated processing window for dynamic and flexible manufacturing control.
* The overall goal of this work is to develop an imaging system that provides input to control important process parameters in real time for inline WAM process control. Existing camera technology will be used for the visual inspection und adapted for dynamic process monitoring and control.
**ENGAGE**
* Within this master thesis you will learn how to adapt and run already existing visual inspection systems (inline computational imaging or ICI system and weld pool camera) that provide real-time information on various weld parameters for inline WAM control.
* To this account, the ICI system in our competence unit _[_High-Performance Vision Systems_](https://www.ait.ac.at/en/research-topics/high-performance-vision-systems)_ will be used to calculate a full 3D model. The model of the built part will be fused into a CAD model for quality control and as a starting point for ongoing processing steps.
* Moreover, a weld pool camera including a high-intensity illumination source will be used to monitor the weld pool during the welding process, while important process parameters will be retrieved from the camera images and prepared for a dynamic feedback and control loop of the WAM process.
**ACHIEVE**
* You will profit from developing and applying image processing skills for a relevant problem in the manufacturing industries.
* In our High-Performance Vision Systems team, 3D reconstruction and fast image processing has been developed over the last decades for quality control and inspection tasks. While working on this project related to industrial vision and optical setups you will have not only the unique opportunity to get to know the field of machine vision based on a real-world problem, but also to get a good overview over current trends developed in our Center and in the machine vision industry more generally.
Your qualifications as an **Ingenious Partner*** :
* Ongoing master’s studies in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Mathematics, Physics or any other related fields to image processing
* Good knowledge in CAD design and at least one programming language (MATLAB, Python, etc.)
* Enthusiastic about planning and conducting scientific studies
* Interested in technology development and applied research driven by real-world problems (especially in metalworking)
* High level of commitment and team spirit
* Very good command of German or English (verbally and in writing)

Master Thesis „Reflective Fourier ptychographic imaging for industrial surface
inspection“ |
We are Austria’s largest research and technology organisation and an
international player in applied research for innovative infrastructure
solutions. This makes us a powerful development partner for industry and a top
employer in the scientific community. Our **Center for Vision, Automation &
Control **in Vienna invites applications for a:
Master Thesis „Reflective Fourier ptychographic imaging for industrial surface
inspection“
## \- High-Performance Vision Systems -
**IMAGINE**
* Fourier ptychography is a method for super-resolution microscopy. Today this method is mainly used in the (bio)medical field, offering a large field of view, high spatial resolutions, and a large depth of focus. It enables super-resolution imaging up to about 10x the native sensor resolution, by exploiting the image information gathered under various illumination directions. The method relies on coherent illumination and rather flat and thin objects. Furthermore, Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) can easily be integrated into biological transmission light microscopes and thus, is well-suited for tissue histology, where cut tissue sections, typically a few micrometers thick, are analyzed.
* However, there is only little work done on FPM application for reflected light microscopy and surface inspection. On this account, the overall objective of this project is to apply FPM to reflected light microscopy, to make the method suitable for high-throughput surface inspection tasks that are common in many industrial manufacturing processes.
* Possible application examples are the detection of small imperfections in roll-to-roll processing (e.g. used in photovoltaic, display and printed electronic production) or inspection tasks in the sheet metal fabrication.
**ENGAGE**
* The aim of the master thesis is to make FPM suitable for reflected light microscopy. Under the guidance of our [High-Performance Vision Systems (HVS)](https://www.ait.ac.at/en/research-topics/high-performance-vision-systems) team, you will review the current state of the art in FPM.
* Based on review and existing algorithms for transmission light FPM, and in collaboration with our scientists, a prototype for reflected light FPM will be proposed, designed, implemented, and tested.
* To this end, while conducting research for this project, you will:
* (1) work on the identification and analysis of the required illumination properties including spatial coherence
* (2) support our team in the implementation of a prototype for reflected light FPM
* (3) learn how to adapt existing FPM algorithms for reflected light FPM
* (4) help us with the validation of the developed system in terms of characterization of samples that can be inspected successfully (as time permits)
**ACHIEVE**
* The overall outcome of this project is to demonstrate the application of FPM to reflected light microscopy with suitable objects. It is anticipated that the developed workflows and prototype will enable future high-throughput surface inspection tasks in industrial settings, where high spatial resolutions for large field of views are essential.
* You will actively be involved in research and development activities in our team, where state-of-the art imaging techniques and methods are integrated in novel working prototypes for inspection tasks that are relevant for industrial partners of the AIT in different sectors.
* You also have the chance to enlarge your network: You will be working closely together with our scientists from the HVS group and will be part also of a broader team of fellow students that are undertaking projects on similar and related topics.
Your qualifications as an **Ingenious Partner*** :
* Ongoing master’s studies in Physics – preferably specialization in imaging techniques and optics

Postdoctoral research position in Big Data in Astroinformatics |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Modern astronomy has undergone a true paradigmatic shift from hypothesis-
driven science focused on investigation of a single class of objects to the
data driven research based on explorative analysis of petabyte-scaled surveys
of the Universe. Current astronomical high-performance digital detectors in
observatories generate petabytes of raw data per night. The data is pan-
spectral, ranging from radio through visible light to X-ray and gamma-ray
frequencies, New domains are emerging, such as particle astrophysics
(neutrinos) and gravitational-wave astronomy. Most of astronomical data are
publicly available through sophisticated networks of federated interoperable
data archives based on the same standards for data storage, query and transfer
called Astronomical Virtual Observatory. Requirements to pre-process, store,
and analyze this big data pushed the current information technology to its
true limits. High-throughput preprocessing algorithms based on massively
parallel GPU platforms using workflow orchestration systems such as Dask or
Spark for distributed processing are needed to reduce the amount of stored
data to sustainable size. Advanced visualisation tools became a part of many
astronomical projects and result in increasing amount of multimedia content in
on-line volumes of major astronomical refereed journals. Heterogeneity,
multidimensionality, and sparsity of more and more complex astronomical
datasets need special storage formats (e.g., Parquet, HDF5, ASDF) for rapid
searching, filtering, and data mining. Astronomical analysis of big sky
surveys has recently been done in distributed cloud environments called
Science platforms (e.g., SciServer, Astro Data Lab) where interactive data
mining and visualisation experiments are done through dedicated web GUI or in
Jupyter Hub directly launched in data centers storing Big Data archives. We
are developing a special hierarchical semi-sparse cube architecture to store
such data. Our aim is to facilitate processing of these data using cuttingedge
technologies, such as Map-Reduce frameworks, GPU-accelerated farms, or HPC
supercomputers. Our research group closely cooperates with teams representing
large-scale astroinformatics projects, such as IVOA, LSST, or Heidelberg
Institute for Theoretical Studies. We are seeking an enthusiastic researcher
with computer science background interested in astronomy to work on the design
of the hierarchical cube architecture and processing pipelines scalable to
petabyte volumes.

Multi-agent path finding (MAPF) is a problem of navigating multiple agents to
their individual goal positions so that agents do not collide. The problem has
been intensively studied recently from the perspective of heuristic search.
However, there are still open questions especially in compilation-based
approaches to MAPF and in how to reflect properties of real environments such
a continuity of space and time in formal models of MAPF. Tests of novel
concepts on real robots in a laboratory is an optional part of this research.

Parameterized or multivariate analysis became in the last two decades a
standard approach for (NP-) hard computational problems. Here, in contrast to
classical complexity, the efficiency of algorithms is not measured only with
respect to the length of the input instance, but also with respect to a
specified parameter. The outcome is a more fine grained complexity landscape
which allows for a better prediction of the complexity of particular instances
encountered. The goal is to design algorithms with running time that is
polynomial in the input size and exponential only in the designated parameter.
Fundamentally, the degree of the polynomial is required to be independent of
the value of the parameter. Parameterized complexity provides a mathematical
framework to analyze these algorithms and also to show that for some problems
and parameters there is (probably) no such algorithm.

that are built from, and depend upon, the seamless integration of computation
and physical components. Since computation is currently being integrated into
the vast majority of technical systems, CPS are becoming highly relevant for
the technical sciences as a whole. Many CPS interact with humans, and hence
the safety of such systems is of utmost importance. The postdoc will
contribute to ensuring the safety of such systems by taking part in research
that designs algorithms for proving the correctness, and especially, safety,
of formal models of cyber-physical systems.

Postdoctoral research position in implementation and validation of co-
evolution of ontological models and domain-specific modeling languages for
different domains |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Currently, there is a large class of domain-specific domain modeling
languages. However, since the subject area tends to evolve over time,
developers have to complicate the DSML as well. As a result, DSML loses its
flexibility and usability. The use of various, highly specialized dialects of
DSML, reflecting various aspects of the subject area, but consistent with each
other, seems to be much more effective. The use of ontologies and
corresponding formal mathematical models when creating them can be used to
ensure the consistency of different dialects of DSML. This is possible, since
the DSML is based on a domain model, which can be an ontology. The main goal
of the research proposed is to propose new formal mathematical models and
algorithmic mechanisms for describing and organizing coordinated changes to

Postdoctoral research position in Cryptanalysis of Post-Quantum Schemes |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
With the dawn of quantum computing, many of contemporary algorithms our
security depends on are becoming insufficient. As of today, new candidate
algorithms for post-quantum security are being put under scrutiny, bringing
many new challenges in cryptology and engineering fields. Requirements
necessary for assuring security in the post-quantum era are even more complex,
considering not only confidentiality, but also authentication, data integrity,
availability and more. Research in this topic will be focused on methods of
cryptanalysis of state-of-the-art post-quantum schemes, side-channel attack
countermeasures, and quantitative and qualitative evaluation of these
countermeasures.

Postdoctoral research position in design of PUFs and TRNGs and evaluation of
their resistance against attacks |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
State-of-the-art hardware components of cryptographic systems require quality
true random number generators (TRNG). Reliable key generators that are based
on physical unclonable functions (PUF) are also in demand. Such key generation
is very desirable from a security point of view because the key generated in
this way remains the "secret" of the hardware itself. It is also important to
study the behavior of the proposed PUFs and TRNGs in terms of their long-term
response stability (in case of TRNG, entropy). The aim is to design new PUF
and TRNG architectures that are suitable for the purpose of generation of
quality TRNG output that also guarantee stable key generation based on PUF
responses. This also includes studying and understanding the behavior of these
components at the statistical level as well as at the physical/technological
level. The security of designed solutions needs to be tested for resistance to
known attacks. Therefore, part of the research is the investigation of new
possibilities of combining active and passive physical attacks with the usage
of classical cryptanalysis (linear, differential, algebraic).

Postdoctoral research position in Kernelization in Computational Social Choice |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Fixed-parameter tractability and approximation algorithms are nowadays
standard tools for design of algorithms for hard problems in the area of
Computational Social Choice. Surprisingly, kernelization, a prominent
technique in FPT algorithmics, is not used as often to tackle social choice
problems. Kernelization is a formalism of safe data reduction which we believe
does have its place in all research disciplines dealing with large and complex
datasets. The most recent approach is the so-called lossy kernelization which
on the one hand cooperates with approximation algorithms (unlike kernelization
which can only be pipelined with exact algorithms) and on the other hand,
allows circumventing hardness results (in exchange for introducing a possible
loss in the quality of the solution).

Postdoctoral research position in environmental aging and durability of
polymers with special focus on fiber composites with matrix reinforced with
nanoparticles |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year

Durability of polymers, used for adhesive joints or for matrix of fiber
composites, is crucial for their applications. Mechanical properties can be
seriously affected by the environmental parameters, such as temperature,
humidity or UV radiation, and degradation can be increased by simultaneous
action of mechanical stress. The main idea for the research activity is
characterization of the environmental durability of fiber composites with
matrix reinforced with nanoparticles, their mechanical properties and hydro-
thermal properties. The study of environmental degradation processes in
polymer will be also focused on bonded composite joints.

Postdoctoral research position in reliability and risk assessment of civil
engineering structures considering sustainability principles |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Current methods used to design and assess civil engineering structures lead to
their unbalanced reliability and often conservative approaches compromise the
principles of sustainability in construction. This is why it is important to
systematically develop the methods of probabilistic reliability assessment and
optimisation that make it possible to adequately describe uncertainties in
structural resistance and load effects. Further, societally acceptable risk
criteria need to be updated to account for the sustainability principles.

Postdoctoral research position in new project approaches to technology
innovation and their implications in European companies in post-covid
environment |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Currently, project innovation management is facing a more difficult and
dynamic trends, mainly because of a problematic situation of many companies,
stricter legislation, especially as to the environmental protection and
Industry 4.0. The additional needs for crisis management, changes in
production standards, digitization, pressures to change usual management
methodologies and the growing demands of Industry 4.0 can be very disruptive
to traditional project innovation management. Many companies will need not to
pay compensation for closed operations during the covid crisis, but more
targeted support programs for the development of so-called transformative
innovation. These innovations are intended to transform problem companies into
sustainable and competitive business. These new requirements require a more
open innovation strategy, agile project management and tasks conditioned by
new technological and social competencies of innovation management. In line
with this development, the primary goal of this research can be focus to
identify new approaches, practice, methods, skills and competencies that a
project innovation management must demonstrate to succeed in a post-covid
business environment. To fulfil this goal, it is necessary to analyse
industrial enterprises in different regions, their business and technology
innovation processes, find out what problems exist and what possibilities of
technology strategies, procedures and projects can be implemented. At the same
time, it is important to identify the important roles of government
institutions, regional chambers of commerce, industry associations, or
business parks in this environment. The result of this research should be in
recommendations for improving technology innovation processes at the business
level, but also for mezzo and macro institutions.

Digital technologies and distance forms of teaching changed the form of the
educational process during the pandemic: the e-learning environment developed
rapidly, new possibilities for learning interactions and management of the
learning process emerged. However, teachers remained the main actors in these
processes. In the sudden transformation of the teaching environment, they were
still responsible for the required high degree of technical expertise, but
their demands on the ability to use digital technologies have increased
dramatically, although they are not - unlike current students - "digital
natives". The main objective is to conduct innovative research in the field of
teaching methodologies and the role of ICT in education. Proposed research
topic will be derived from the area of eye tracking methods, various types of
sensors, audiovisual data, etc. Technical assistance (measuring technologies
and applications of virtual and augmented reality) to be offered by the ŠKODA
AUTO a.s. The use of qualitative and quantitative analysis, statistical
software tools such as SPSS is expected and appreciated. This position is
located at the CTU in Prague.

Fundamental science applications, such as high-energy physics and space
research depend on fast and reliable detector systems to identify particles
and determine their energy. Hybrid pixel detectors (HPD) enabling single-
particle processing are ideal since they are noiseless and can determine the
time and energy of the particle interaction with high precision. The key
objective of the work is to develop versatile detection systems based on the
Medipix/Timepix technology as well as related data processing algorithms for
particle identification and trajectory reconstruction. The developed detection
systems will be used in physics experiments at the LHC at CERN (namely ATLAS
and MoEDAL). The candidate will work together with an international and
interdisciplinary team of physicists, computer scientists and engineers.

Early Stage Researcher [M/F] - 1 vacancy |
Early Stage Researcher [M/F] - 1 vacancy
Post Ref.: CCMAR/ESR/04/2021
The Centro de Ciências do Mar do Algarve (CCMAR) opens a vacancy for an Early
Stage Researcher (Investigador Doutorando Marie Curie ITN - Early Stage
Researcher) (M/F) from any nationality, including non-EU candidates to satisfy
temporary needs under an uncertain term employment contract within the
research project EATFish “European Aquaculture Training for improving Seafood
Husbandry” grant agreement No. 956697 (EATFish), a Marie Sklodowska-Curie
Innovative Training Network (ITN-ETN) funded in the framework of the HORIZON
2020 programme.
The main undertaking of EATFish is to educate young scientists who will be
capable of envisioning and creating this transformational change to support
sustainable and profitable European aquaculture through an interdisciplinary
action. EATFish is a truly multidisciplinary training network aimed at
integrating the biological, technical, socio-economic and governance aspects
needed for sustainable and profitable aquaculture. For this, we will provide a
structured estimated 3-year period cutting-edge PhD training programme.
Job Summary and Duties:
The Early Stage Researcher will be enrolled in a PhD at the Algarve University
() and will contribute for the development
and execution of EATFISH project, specifically for the task: “A nutritional
approach to improve fish robustness **.”** FAO is responding to the “Blue
Revolution” by promoting aquaculture as the solution to improve food security,
and nutrition while increasing biological efficiency and optimizing the
production cycle. To face this challenge, it is important to develop resilient
aquaculture practices, which increase productivity, maintain healthy
ecosystems, and ensure a sustainable consumption pattern. Nutrition is the
most important factor that determines both growth and development of animals,
with a direct impact in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). CCMAR will target
dietary strategies that will improve fish robustness, to understand the
biological pathways that mediate the relationships between growth, nutrition,
and metabolism. Dietary strategies will be developed in collaboration with
Partner Organisation Skretting (ARC). The GIT of fish is modulated by diet
type, the initial microbiota adapts over time and is shaped by the
availability of different nutrients. The impact of diet on fish gut microbiota
and identification of microbial biomarkers related to host robustness will be
done in collaboration with Partner CSIC. Growth plasticity, oxidative biology,
protein metabolism, and the microbiome-gut axis will be key targets for the
PhD proposal. Experimental species: gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) and
Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis). As part of the programme, the ESR might
spend some time in two secondments and will receive training on relevant

Postdoctoral position - Development of an Intelligent River Traffic Management
System |
Cerema seeks to fill a postdoctoral research position for the development of a
Smart River Traffic Management System. This work will be part of EcoNav
project (funded by The Carnot Clim'adapt institute) which aims to develop an
Intelligent River Transport system based on combination of optimization
techniques and machine learning to reduce ship fuel consumption, lock waiting
times and water consumption.
In previous research projects, Cerema has developed:
* an Eco-Pilote whose purpose is to optimize the speed of a vessel to reduce its fuel consumption. This model rely on machine learning for fuel consumption prediction and optimization techniques to reduce the vessel consumption.
* Kessel, a tool allowing to plan efficiently lock operations and reduce water consumption and waiting times. This model retrieves real time information about traffic and lock state, estimates expected waiting times and number of lockage for the current situation and suggest a new scenario to the lockmaster with an estimated arrival time at the lock for each vessel.
Both projects aimed to optimize vessel speed for two different objectives:
ship fuel consumption and traffic at the locks. The EcoNav project therefore
aims to combine these two models to have a more general approach to traffic
management.
The selected candidate will:
* Phase 1 : Develop a fuel consumption model generalized for all vessel type;
* Phase 2 : Extend the Kessel model for the scheduling of series of consecutive locks;
* Phase 3 : Couple the Eco-Pilot model integrating the fuel consumption model of Phase 1 and the extended Kessel module of Phase 2.
The Post-Doc candidate will be part of the HA (Hydraulics for Development)
research team (). The research actions,
carried out within the framework of the activities of Cerema's HA research
project team, aim to develop innovative and efficient digital modelling tools
to assist decision-making for waterway managers and users and to better
control environmental impacts. |

Postdoctoral research position in measurement of anomalies in angular
correlation of electron and positron internally produced in excited 8Be and
4He |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Theoretical prediction for the distribution of the angle between electrons and
positrons originating in internal pair creations is a monotonic featureless
decrease with the opening angle. Recent studies on excited states of 8Be and
4He nuclei, made in ATOMKI, Hungary, however, revealed deviations from this
expectation. If true, such a result may have a fundamental impact: the anomaly
can be explained by introducing a new short-lived neutral boson that can still
fit into known experimental and theoretical constraints. Although serious work
has been done on the theoretical side, an independent laboratory has not yet
verified these results. However, relevant experiments are currently being
prepared worldwide, now including the Institute of Experimental and Applied
Physics (IEAP). A construction is ongoing of a suitable Time-Projection-
Chamber-based (TPC) spectrometer for light charged particles, utilizing
magnetic field as a means for energy measurement, and supplemented by a
Multiwire Proportional Chambers (MWPC) and Timepix3 pixel detectors to reach
unprecedented spatial and angular resolution. The goal is to either confirm or
refute the above-mentioned anomaly. The detector development and testing takes
place within our Van-de-Graaff accelerator facility. An important part of this
research project is the Monte Carlo simulation of the experiment, which can
further improve the understanding of the experimental system, namely its
limits and possible artifacts, and provide better insight on the necessary
steps of data reconstruction. The aim of the research position will be to
perform needed simulations of the e+e - pairs creation, possible X17-particle
creation, and how the experimental system will record the events. The
simulations will be based on a framework developed for this experiment. The
selected candidate will use the framework, analyze its data and further
develop the existing tools.

Postdoctoral research position in Data-driven Scheduling Algorithms |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
This project starts by observing that current time-triggered embedded real-
time systems (such as those in automated cars) are too rigid. They fail to
account for the evolution in a system's configuration during its life-cycle
while potentially having uncertainty in the parameters or incomplete
specification requirements. For such a safety-critical system, we propose new
scheduling techniques to allocate individual computation and communication
jobs on hardware resources in time. Given the problem complexity, the
scheduling algorithms have to be scalable to solve instances with thousands of
jobs and handle uncertain parameters and constraints. We aim to enhance our
algorithms' search strategy with the information extracted from the related
scheduling problems and instances. Furthermore, we aim to use machine learning
techniques to automate the schedule adaptation needed for the correct system
operation. The objective of this post-doc project is to - formulate new
scheduling problems for evolvable systems - derive their fundamental
mathematical properties - apply Machine Learning to automate the search and
adaptation - design, implement and evaluate new scheduling algorithms.

15 Marie Curie ESR / PhD Positions in ''Towards a sustainable Open Data
ECOsystem (ODECO) |
The ODECO consortium invites highly qualified and motivated applicants for an
Early-Stage Researcher (ESR) position within the framework of the Innovative
Training Networks (ITN) action ‘ODECO: Towards a Sustainable Open Data,
_Are you passionate about research with a societal impact? Do you want to be
part of an excellent, world-leading team of engaged open data researchers and
practitioners? Check out the 15 PhD positions!_
All 15 fully funded PhD positions are part of the EU Horizon 2020 Marie
Sklodowska Curie ITN project entitled "ODECO: Towards a Sustainable Open Data
ECOsystem" (see [www.odeco-research.eu](http://www.odeco-research.eu)). ODECO
is a four-year project involving 15 PhD projects covering each a specific part
of the open data ecosystem. The central aim of the ODECO consortium network is
to train the next generation of creative and innovative early stage open data
researchers, to unlock their creative and innovative potential to address
current and future challenges in the creation of user driven, circular and
inclusive open data ecosystems.
Current developments in the field of open data are characterised as highly
fragmented. Open data ecosystems are often developed in different domains in
isolation of each other and with little involvement of potential users,
resulting in approaches that significantly limit open data reusability for
users. This reduces innovation and the ability to create new valued added
goods and services. Isolated domains also undermine interoperability for users
acting as a barrier to data sharing. Efforts are also uncoordinated in open
data training and research, where multidisciplinary approaches are scant.
Bringing together different sectors (research, private sector, government,
non-profit) and different perspectives (public administration, law, business,
engineering), ODECO aims to address the central challenge of realizing a user
driven, circular and inclusive open data ecosystem. Through its novel research
and training programme, ODECO will provide early stage researchers with
relevant open data knowledge, skills and research experience.

**Length of Study:** 3.5 years
**Project description:**
Additive Manufacturing brings significant opportunities for Manufacturing, in
terms of new structural designs, higher performance, and a reduction in weight
& material required. However, for this potential to be unlocked, industry
requires the creation of high calibre datasets to enable design & product
certification.
ASTM International is at the forefront of driving material property generation
with the ASTM AM Centre of Excellence (AM CoE), with this PhD supporting the
creation of materials properties for critical applications. This will include
understanding & evaluating the effect of defects, test methods, and relating
the process of creating AM material to the lifing of a component in service.
The project will be predominantly based at Swansea University, but liaison and
research activities at affiliated universities and partners is envisaged.
The output of this PhD will support Standardisation for Additive
Manufacturing, providing the student with global exposure through the
extensive ASTM International network. Specialist Additive Manufacturing
training will be provided, as well as the opportunity to collaborate with
international partners whilst working as a member of the AM CoE. The ASTM
International AM CoE was specifically created in 2018 to accelerate Additive
Manufacturing through rapidly closing gaps in Standards and providing
Education & Workforce Development, with support from global founding (e.g. The
MTC, NASA) and strategic partners. The ASTM has led many significant
collaborations within AM, notably the Partner SDO between ISO and ASTM for
Standards development.
The AM CoE brings together industry, government and academia to optimise the
AM R&D and standards development processes. By tightly coupling these
processes, standards get into the hands of those who need them faster,
drastically reducing AM time to market and increasing widespread adoption.
Experience covers all AM methods, with strengths in various AM modalities
including Powder Bed, Binder Jetting and Direct Energy Deposition.

Postdoctoral research position in advanced machine learning approach to
optimization of evaluation criteria in neuropsychological assessment |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
he project focuses on temporal context aware approaches in semisupervised
learning. We hypothesize that the utilization of the contextual information
within the query selection or generation can make the semisupervised learning
more efficient and available for all temporal context aware methods. This
approach is novel, since the type of data we have in mind as an underlying
area for experiments opens new challenges concerning machine learning methods.
The considered datasets do not represent long time series on one side or
independent data samples without temporal context on the other side. Domain of
our interest is neuropsychology. Topics of interest include: machine learning
procedures over large heterogenous datasets; feedback loops between learning
and expert assessment („expert-in-the-loop“ approach); novel ML methods
suitable in the considered context.

Postdoctoral research position in learning to solve multiple-view geometry |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
We aim at using machine learning to address long-standing problems in multiple
view geometry that traditional techniques cannot solve. For instance, current
methods for computing camera geometry from image matches can cope efficiently
with only relatively simple problems in two-view geometry, and there is still
no efficient solver even for threeview geometry. We plan to develop a new
approach to solving hard problems in multiple-view geometry by using machine
learning to tune techniques from numerical algebraic geometry to the data,
thus making them tractable and efficient.

Post-doctoral position in NMR studies of gas diffusion in nanoporous materials |
The recruited person will centrally contribute at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel
(CNRS, ENS, SU, Collège de France, Paris, France) to a research project
carried out jointly with the MRS Laboratory (KFU, Kazan, Russian Federation)
on MAgnetic Resonance studies of Gas diffusion In Nanoporous materials (the
MARGIN project). Through a detailed characterization of gas diffusion
mechanisms in porous media, this research is in particular expected to yield
results on the influence of the attractive wall potential on molecular gas
dynamics, which is overlooked in standard diffusion models. Additional
expected outcomes might be relevant for open questions in fundamental physics
in which non-standard magnetic interactions with confining walls are currently
revisited.
With the support of the two permanent members of the Paris research team and
in connection with the Russian collaborators the recruited researcher will
mainly be in charge or performing NMR and MRI experiments in Paris at low (mT)
field and room temperature. Helium-3 will be used as a probe gas and apparent
diffusion will be measured in porous systems such as ordered aerogels,
nanopowders, etc. The gas will be hyperpolarised with laser optical pumping
for high sensitivity. The main activities will therefore include the
preparation of measurement cells containing the porous samples (from Russia),
the polarisation of helium-3 gas using the in-house polarising system, the
design and management of NMR sequences (with a Tecmag console), and the
postprocessing of acquired data. It is also expected that numerical
simulations of restricted diffusion based on existing codes will be used to
fully interpret results. Finally, the recruited researcher will contribute to
the communication and publication of all results.
Laboratoire Kastler Brossel hosts teams performing research on a wide range of
topics, mostly focused on quantum physics and applications. The 'Polarised
Helium' team pursues research at the ENS Physics Department both on the
physics of noble gas hyperpolarisation and on the use of hyperpolarised gases
for applications, especially in low-field NMR and MRI. It has strong
collaborative links on these topics with the MRS team in Kazan and also with
groups in Germany and Canada, as well as in the Paris area in the frame of a
research project on noble gas hyperpolarisation and NMR at 7 Teslas (the
HELPING project, 2021-2026). |

Postdoctoral research position in learning visuomotor skills for robotic
manipulation |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Humans can solve everyday manipulation tasks remarkably efficiently and
safely. With only a few interactions they learn to use tools without knowing a
priori their exact physical properties or the properties of the environment to
solve tasks such as hammering a nail, shoveling snow, raking leaves, or
drilling holes into different materials. Currently, there is no artificial
system with a similar level of visuomotor capabilities. The objective of this
post-doc project is to develop machine learning models grounded in the
physical and geometrical structure of the world to enable learning safe
visuomotor skills for robotic manipulation in new unseen environments with
only a minimal amount of supervision, for example, coming from observing
people performing the same task.

Post-Doctoral Scholar |
Technological development has moved a substantial part of human life towards
the computer or/and smartphone screens changing noticeably some of the human
behaviors and inducing new ones. The way how people, communicate, interact and
search for information has dramatically changed in this digital transition. In
year 2019 around 4,2 billion people are using the Internet on a daily basis.
That is 54% of world population and 87% population from the developed world.
The intensity of digital technology usage is growing fast. It is estimated
that in 1992 the total amount of Internet traffic was around 100 gigabytes per
day. This number increased by a factor of 17.5 million in 2017. Around 90
percent of the data in 2017 was generated in the prior two years. People relay
on digital technology in more and more areas of life. In year 2017 Google
Drive was used by 800 millions monthly active users (that is more than 15% of
word’s population) with three billion objects and 1.2 billion of photos
uploaded each day. Google in 2020 processes over 40,000 search queries every
second on average, which translates to over 3.5 billion searches per day and
1.2 trillion searches per year. Worldwide average internet user is asking
their devices different types of questions roughly 2 times a day. In USA the
average adult checks his or her phone 30 times a day, while for adolescent
this number reach 157 times daily. In UK adults spend more than half of their
working hours engaged in media or communication activities, and that time has
doubled over the past decade. More than 99% of respondents between 16 and 54
has a mobile phone, and more than 80% of respondents between 16 and 44 have a
social media profile. Online behaviors including social interactions have
become are regular part of daily life for billions of people worldwide.
Most of these behaviors are recorded and stored as fine-grained time-stamped
data at the individual level available for millions or billions of users. Such
amount of data is unpresidential for social science and could be compared only
which enterprises like particle accelerators or genomic studies in natural
sciences. For some researchers newly developed tools for observing online
activity showing promise to have a similar transformative effects for social
sciences to electron microscope, space telescope, particle accelerator, and
magnetic resonance imaging in natural underling the fact that revolutions in
sciences could be initiated new tools and methodologies. This point of view is
usually not shared by researchers from the field of public opinion, survey
methodology or more broadly social science methodology. In those fields
researchers have ignored, to a large extent, online data revolution. Not
without a reason. Online data has been considered as a black box, which limits
possibilities to delve into a problem, which, in fact, resulted in or was
found to be the reason of several spectacular failures of this approach.
We believe that online data will not eliminate the need to directly ask people
questions in surveys but will substantially enhance the usability of surveys
in big data analysis allowing for calibration, cross-validation and for
checking crucial assumptions made by online big data. Properly handled online
big data facilitated by classical instruments could help researchers to
address fundamental questions of social science. As pointed by Golder and Macy
over the past century, there has been no shortage of social theory, but there
have been severe constraints on access to data (2014, p. 130). Unprecedented
opportunities related to online big data collected on massive scale yet on
micro level might change this position.
This project aims to advance methods to use online trace data (called also
digital footprints) together with survey data and thus, will contribute to
solving current social problems concerning trust, attitudes towards migration,
environment, governments as well misinformation and polarization of attitudes.
To advance methods to use online trace data we propose to run large
methodologically oriented study that will utilize five sources of data:
representative survey data, online trace data, data form specially designed
panel study that will combine survey and online trace data, experimental
studies and qualitative data
Those interested in participating in the competition are invited to submit the
following documents in English:
a. cover letter (500-700 words);
b. Curriculum Vitae (CV) including publication list, participation in research
projects (with financing institution, positions occupied, realised tasks

c. research proposal with a description of methodology and theoretical
justification of analyses and studies that a Candidate would like to realise
in the project; the research proposal should also include preliminary

doctoral opening or confirmation of the planned date of completing the
doctoral degree (candidate must be awarded Phd before 30th of September 2021);
e. opinion of the candidate written by the researcher with the degree of some
doctor;
f. two published articles ;

PhD position in plasma/material at Institut Jean Lamour (Nancy, France) |
**Missions and activities**
The PhD work is part of the CAMFRE project that has been recently approved for
funding by the French national research agency (ANR). The main objective of
this project is to carry out plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) of aluminium
alloys to grow alumina layers with a significant conductivity (typ. surface
resistance < 5 mOhm) for application in connectivity. CAMFRE is a multi-
disciplinary project involving plasma physics (especially discharges in
liquids), solid chemistry and material science (esp. carbonaceous materials
and carbon-metal composites) and electrochemistry.
Within this context, the PhD work will focus on studying the PEO process with
incorporation of carbon-particles. Highly experimental, the work can be
structured along three main tasks:
• Understanding the mechanisms that govern the ignition of micro-discharges
and their sustainment, and how these mechanisms are affected by the carbon
particles (graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes) suspended in the electrolyte.
Indeed, the micro-discharges inherent in the PEO process are responsible for
the growth of the oxide layer and at the origin of the porosity; they are
therefore a vector of incorporation of particles into the Al2O3 layers.
However, discharge ignition result from the breakdown of the insulating
growing oxide layer. As the layer conductivity will increase, it can happen
that the discharge ignition be inhibited, and maintaining the layer growth
will be a challenge. To address this challenge, a deep investigation of the
micro-discharges and their environment will be performed according to the
experimental process conditions. Time-resolved plasma diagnostic tools will
hence be used: optical emission spectroscopy, ultra-fast video imaging (> 106
fps), shadowgraph, current-voltage measurements, etc. Diagnosing these
transient non-localized tiny discharges will be challenging.
• Understanding the mechanisms of carbon particles incorporation in the layer,
and identify the most suitable ones – in terms of nature, size and aspect
ratio – to lower the electrical resistivity of the Al2O3 layer. The objective
is to achieve a controlled particle incorporation in the alumina layer in
order to reach electrical percolation of the particles inside the growing
oxide layer. This will require mastering the PEO process in order to control
the discharge current and temperature and consequently the layer porosity.
Facilities for material characterization available at institute Jean Lamour
will be used, among which: SEM, TEM, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, porosimetry,
etc.
• Optimizing the PEO process to achieve the objective of low resistivity
alumina layers. This will include establishing correlations between the
discharges properties and those of the alumina layers developed in parallel
with their functional characterization from an electrical point of view.
**Work context**
The position is open at Institute Jean Lamour in Nancy (France), within a
collaboration between the groups “plasmas – processes – surfaces” on one hand
and “carbonaceous materials” on the other hand. The work is totally funded by
the French research national agency for a duration of three years in the
framework of the CAMFRE project.
Within the CAMFRE project, another PhD work will be undertaken at a partner
research unit (CIRIMAT in Toulouse). This second PhD work will deal with the
incorporation of metallic particles in the PEO process to achieved similar
objective. Regular exchanges and meeting with and between partners will hence
be held.
Requested skills
We are seeking for a highly motivated candidate with a strong interest in
experimental work and
• a master degree in plasma physics with knowledge in material science or
• a master degree in solid chemistry or in material science with knowledge in
plasma physics.
Curiosity, rigor, autonomy and ability for methodical teamwork will be greatly
appreciated. High level in French and/or English language (spoken and written)

PhD position in supramolecular bioorganic chemistry in montpellier |
Host laboratory. We belong to the Institut des Biomolécules Max Mousseron
(IBMM) and will be located, from September 2021, in a brand-new building on
the CNRS campus in Montpellier, France. The institute is part of the “Pole
Chimie Balard” excellence cluster in chemistry which is supported by the
I-SITE MUSE (Montpellier University of excellence).
Overview of the project. The SACSI project will study the self-assembly of
unprecedented pH-responsive amphiphilic dynamic covalent polymers for
generating targeted nano-vectors of siRNA. The ambition of this project is to
discover self-fabricated multi-component siRNA vectors that adapt throughout
the different steps of the delivery process in order to maximize efficacy. We
have recently reported a 1st targeted dynamic covalent polymer which is formed
in situ by siRNA templating (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2021, 60, 11, 5783-5787).
We now wish to exploit this proof-of-concept to identify effective vectors
that are selected by live cells, essentially performing dynamic combinatorial
chemistry on cells.
Context and mission. The PhD student will be in charge of bioorganic synthesis
of modified peptides and lipid conjugates (SPPS, HPLC chromatography),
including pH-responsive aromatic tweezers (Nanoscale, 2017, 9, 31-36), in
vitro biochemical analyses (gel electrophoresis, DLS, Zéta potential) and cell
studies (MTT and functional assays in 96-well plates format, using UV-Vis
read-out).
Ph.D. candidate. You have recently graduated (M.Sc., Ecole d'Ingénieur, Master
II, pharmacy) with excellent theoretical and practical knowledge in bioorganic
chemistry (synthesis, purification, characterization). You have a strong
interest for the interface with biology, and possibly for drug and gene
delivery in particular, with a desire to learn and practice. We expect solid
know-how on chemical synthesis to kick start the project – appropriate
training will then be provided for the subsequent tasks at the chemistry-
biology interface. You are a self-starter, working autonomously, willing to
take initiatives and eager to work in a multidisciplinary project. You show a
clear enthusiasm for research. You are a team player with very good
communication skills. Knowledge of French would be useful but is not
essential. Starting date: October 2021 (flexible), salary: ca. 1700 €/month. |

PhD in Material Sciences : Luminescent nanocomposite films (H/F) |
The doctoral school is the ED3M, whose themes cover physics and chemistry in
the broadest sense. More information:
The proposed thesis is part of the ANR LuMINA project, involving three
laboratories: the Laplace and the Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination in
Toulouse and the Institut des Matériaux Jean Rouxel, IMN, in Nantes, where the
doctoral student will be located. The IMN is a joint University of Nantes-CNRS
research unit which currently brings together more than 130 researchers
(chemists, physicists, materials engineers from the CNRS and the University of
Nantes), administrative and technical staff, and 90 research contractors.
Through the design and characterisation of new materials, the laboratory's
approach leads to the optimisation of a wide range of properties for targeted
applications.
The proposed thesis will be carried out in the Plasma and Thin Films team,
which conducts research on the development of cold plasma processes. The
research strategy involves other physico-chemical processes than plasmas
alone: sol-gel, chemical dealloying. The proposed subject is part of the Nano-
objects and nano-materials theme and follows on from two theses (M. Mitronika
defended in 2020 and S. Choutean in progress).
Nanocomposite thin films (i.e. formed of nanoparticles embedded in a matrix)
are attractive because of their multifunctional properties. These properties
depend on the size and the environment of the nanoparticles but also on their
dispersion in the matrix. Among all the factors governing the synthesis of
nanocomposite thin films, the control of the dispersion of nanoparticles in
the matrix remains a major challenge.
The elaboration of nanocomposite films involves a hybrid process coupling a
low-pressure inductively coupled radio frequency plasma (ICP) and the pulsed
injection of a colloidal solution. The subject has three main axes : (i)
injection of the ZnO nanoparticle solutions prepared at the LCC into an O2
plasma and O2 / organosilicon vapour mixture, (ii) development of the
conditions for dispersing the ZnO particles in a silica matrix, in conjunction
with Laplace, (iii) structural and optical characterisation of the films of
variable composition in order to optimise the photoluminescence properties.
The approach developed will consist of conducting studies on films of
particles alone and then dispersed within a SiO2 matrix.
More precisely, the impact of plasma on the healing or creation of defects
related to the structure of the ZnO particles and the effect on the optical
response will be evaluated by implementing plasma diagnostics and in situ
spectroscopic ellipsometry and thin film characterisation techniques. The
material characterisation techniques available at IMN and which will be
implemented during this work are: X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron
spectrometry (XPS), Raman scattering, FTIR spectrometry, ellipsometry
(including in situ), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron
microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), UV-vis absorption,
photoluminescence. During the thesis, the PhD student will have the
possibility to carry out research stays at the Laplace and the LCC in
Toulouse, partner laboratories of the project. |

PhD in Biochemistry and host-pathogen interaction |
This project will be carried out in the team "Immunomodulation by lipids and
mycobacterial glycoconjugates" led by Dr. J. Nigou, in the "Tuberculosis and
Infection Biology" department of the Institute of Pharmacology and Structural
Biology (IPBS, joint research unit CNRS-Universite Paul Sabatier, Toulouse,
France). The student will work under the supervision of Drs. Emilie Layre (CR,
CNRS) and Martine Gilleron (DR, CNRS). The IPBS offers a stimulating research
environment and benefits from several state-of-the-art facilities on site,
including proteomics and mass spectrometry, macromolecular crystallography,
liquid and solid state NMR, high resolution imaging of tissues and cells
imaging of tissues and cells, flow cytometry and cell sorting in standard
in standard or level 3 security laboratories and animal facilities.
The IPBS is located on the main campus of the University Toulouse III-Paul
Sabatier. which offers multidisciplinary education in the fields of science
health, engineering and technology, and is developing one of the most
important scientific research centers in France. Founded in 1996, the IPBS is
today composed of 16 internationally recognized research groups, which bring
together more than 250 scientists, including numerous post-doctoral fellows
and national and international PhD students.
According to the World Health Organization, Tuberculosis remained one of the
top 10 causes
of death worldwide in 2018 (1.4 million deaths) (1). M. tuberculosis (Mtb)
infects alveolar
macrophages and is extremely successful in establishing a chronic infection in
humans.
Indeed, it has evolved strategies to evade immune responses and to persist
within the hostile
intracellular environment (2). The current lack of efficient anti-tuberculosis
strategies is largely
due to our incomplete understanding of the host-pathogen interactions of Mtb
infection. One
characteristic of mycobacteria is the biosynthesis of a highly diverse
repertoire of lipids and
glycolipids capable to regulate host immune responses, acting as pathogen-
associated
molecular patterns, virulence factors or T cell antigens (3, 4). However, this
repertoire of potent
immunomodulators has been essentially characterized by studying bacteria broth
cultures and
using conventional biochemistry methods of moderate resolution and
sensitivity. We have setup a last-generation lipidomic approach, comprising
high sensitivity mass spectrometry and
bioinformatics tools, which allows studying this repertoire in a global and
exhaustive way in
diverse conditions (5, 6). Applied to the analysis of in vitro cultures but
also to infected cells,
such approach has already highlighted several new molecules of unknown
structure and
functions including molecules that are specifically produced by virulent M.
tuberculosis strains.
The characterization of such molecules might reveal new immunomodulatory
mechanisms and
give rise to new concepts for the development of anti-TB tools. Hence, this
project aims at:
\- purifying molecules highlighted by lipidomic analyses (cell/mycobacterial
cultures, normal and
reverse phase chromatography)
\- characterising their structure through the use of state-of-the-art
biochemistry tools available
at the IPBS and at the MetaToul platform (bioinformatics, mass spectrometry,
MS/MS, NMR,
capillary electrophoresis)
\- achieving the functional characterisation of the newly identified bacterial
molecules, in
particular their capability to interact with innate immune receptors and to
regulate
macrophages inflammatory and microbicide properties (ELISA, reporter cell
lines activation
assays and functional bioassays on primary cells) |

PhD contract (H/F) -Synthesis of new heptazines for photocatalysis, both
homogeneous and on grafted materials |
As a chemistry laboratory within ENS Paris-Saclay, the PPSM's activities focus
on the research and study of molecules and materials that can be stimulated by
photo-induced phenomena, the action of electrons, sensitivity to the presence
of ions or biological activity, and which are integrated into problems related
to the environment, health and information technologies.
In this context, the material resources and skills of different chemical
specialities are brought together at the PPSM, making it possible to carry out
several facets of the work that chemists must do: design (molecular
engineering), synthesis of molecules, manufacture of materials and study of
properties.
The members of the PPSM are positioned in the scientific research community on
a national and international scale, contributing to the advancement of
fundamental knowledge in its core areas of expertise: photochemistry,
fluorescence, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, nanomaterials, molecular
recognition, organic synthesis.
This thesis subject is part of the Hepta-cat project, funded by the ANR over
the period 2021-2025, whose objective is to develop and study new heptazines,
then to apply them as photocatalysts, in the homogeneous phase and via grafted
materials. Indeed, heptazines are nitrogenous heterocycles, still little
studied, which present promising photophysical (long-lived fluorescence) and
electrochemical properties.
The objective of the thesis will be to develop synthetic routes to obtain new
heptazines and to study the electrochemical and fluorescence properties of the
resulting compounds. The most efficient heptazines (high reduction potential,
long fluorescence lifetime) will be used in photocatalysed reactions, which
will be developed in the team of Dr. Géraldine Masson (ICSN, Gif-sur-Yvette),
which is a partner in the project. Our main synthon will be the newly
discovered tris(diethylpyrazolyl)heptazine, or TDPH. However, in order to
prepare new perfluorinated derivatives of great interest, alkoxyheptazines
prepared from TDPH will in turn be considered as potential starting materials.
Another related part of the project, in partnership with Dr. F. Rossignol
(Institut IRCER, Univ. de Limoges), also consists of producing graftable
heptazines on silica supports. We plan to prepare, for example, heptazine
derivatives monosubstituted by a 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane chain.
The scientific direction will be ensured by Pr Pierre Audebert, Dr Clémence
Allain and Dr Laurent Galmiche in the PPSM laboratory of ENS Paris Saclay
(Gif-sur-Yvette), and could start on November 1st, 2021. |

Development of metallic nanoparticles in solution: application in catalysis
(M/F) |
This project will involve:
\- The synthesis of metallic nanoparticles under inert atmosphere or under
dihydrogen pressure (4 bars)
\- The characterisation of nanoparticles by TEM
\- The catalytic tests.
The aim of this project is the development of stabilized metallic
nanoparticles in solution. These nanoparticles are obtained by the controlled
decomposition of metal precursors (coordination complexes) in the presence of
original stabilizing ligands. These envisaged noble and non-noble metal
nanoparticles will be used as catalysts in various key reactions with high
industrial potential (C-C coupling and hydrosilylation of alkenes). From a
fundamental point of view, this project aims at developing new monometallic or
bimetallic nanoparticles of controlled composition. From a more applicative
point of view, the experimental protocols allowing the synthesis of the
metallic nanoparticles will have to be tuned for a scale production in a pilot
reactor. This project has already led to very promising results published in
high-impact journals (JACS, Chem. Commun., J. Org. Chem., Catal. Sci. Technol.
...).
In this context, we are looking for candidate for a 1-year post-doctoral
fellowship contract. The successful candidate will work on the development and
characterization of metallic nanoparticles in solution as well as the study of
their catalytic performances.
The successful candidate will work in a highly interdisciplinary environment
and will interact with academic and industrial collaborators. He/she will be
located in the CP2M laboratory in the CPE Lyon engineering school on the La
Doua campus. |

PhD position (M/F): connected environmental sensors for the study of
ecosystems |
This research will be carried out on the sites instrumented within the
framework of the ECONECT project, and by considering more particularly one of
the sentinel systems developed in this project on the aquatic compartment.
This system consists in a floating chamber intended to integrate various
measuring devices, making it possible to document a certain number of
physicochemical parameters (dissolved O2, pH, conductivity, etc.) but also
biological metrics such as the chlorophyll content in the water column
(providing information on the development of phytoplankton) or the activity of
bioindicator organisms.
For the implementation of this project, we will rely on a highly
interdisciplinary team, with skills in ecology and ecotoxicology (Arnaud
Elger, Laboratory for Functional Ecology and Environment), in design of
embedded systems (Jean-Yves Fourniols, LAAS) and in design of communication
protocols and architectures (Rahim Kacimi, IRIT).
Scientific and technical context:
The Internet of Things (IoT) opens up particularly interesting perspectives
for the study of biodiversity and ecosystems through the use of connected
sentinel systems. Such systems are currently being implemented in the ECONECT
project, in the Occitanie Region, and will soon be the subject of the
structuring project TERRA FORMA, at the national level, the objective of which
is to develop the next generation of environmental observatories. While the
use of in situ sensors in environmental sciences is not new, there is still a
lack of tools to massively collect environmental data to document the coupled
dynamics of biotic and abiotic compartments with sufficient spatial and
temporal resolution.
The emergence of a new generation of low-cost sensors brings this objective
within our reach, but it is also necessary to be able to effectively
orchestrate the collection of in situ data and their remote transmission,
possibly after a pre-processing of the information as close as possible to the
sensors, to transmit only meaningful data.
The solutions developed to be used for example in the context of smart cities
or in peri-urban areas are not necessarily usable as such for the study of
ecosystems, as the deployment of sensors and network infrastructure in natural
environment implies specific constraints. These constraints appear on the
energy level, due to the absence of an electricity network and the resulting
need for energy sobriety. They also appear in the field of telecommunications,
due to the limited or non-existent network coverage. Although many algorithms
have been designed for data collection in energy-constrained sensor networks,
there are still challenges to be overcome in real deployments (use of the
spatio-temporal redundancy of measurements, intermittent links with the base
station, congestion induced by traffic convergence in single data-sink
networks, etc.).
In addition, the strong heterogeneity of the data collected in environmental
issues (measurements of physico-chemical parameters, images and sounds, etc.),
particularly in terms of volume, as well as the fact of working at very
variable spatial and temporal scales depending on the processes studied,
involves the use of different communication protocols due to trade-offs
between the range, the data rate and the energy consumption of the different
technologies involved. However, being able to offer a versatile and proven
architecture, based on a limited number of communication protocols and on
simple and inexpensive equipment, would be an important step towards connected
and autonomous environmental observatories.
Objectives of the thesis:
We propose to design a versatile communicating electronic architecture based
on FPAA and PSOC technologies to converge on reconfigurable analog and digital
hardware solutions specifically designed for the collection of environmental
data. The technological barrier that we wish to remove concerns the
development of an architecture that is sufficiently generic and adaptive to
accept different sensors, adapt to environmental variations and detect any
degradation of the measurement by minimizing the on-site recalibration steps.
Adaptability and the ability to detect “bad measurements” are made necessary
by the heterogeneity of the data and the constraints linked to operating in a
natural environment in areas that are potentially isolated and / or difficult
to access.
We wish to select a limited number of communication protocols and technologies
to cover the most common uses for the study of ecosystems and biodiversity.
These protocols should allow energy-efficient data transmissions, over
relatively short distances, for interactions between sensor nodes at the scale
of a study site; but also allow long-range communication to allow data to be
routed to the Cloud and remote supervision of on-site devices. In situ
characterizations and inter-comparisons of the different communication
technologies will make it possible to obtain realistic field data with regard
to ranges, data rates and energy consumption in representative environments
(i.e. with varied conditions of relief and vegetation cover); these results
will make the optimization of the network architecture and the appropriate
strategies possible.
To converge on the development of an architecture compatible with a
distributed low-power approach and capable of embedding tools for analyzing
temporal variations in environmental parameters, the reflection will be
conducted in the direction of a harmonization of practices to propose an
approach standardized at the hardware and software level, based on proven and
low-cost technologies. The processing of the data collected will be optimized,
by determining the information to be processed as close as possible to the
sensors (via an on-board AI) and that to be processed in the Cloud, with a
view to energy and data sobriety. With a view to large-scale deployment, the
choice of technologies and components will take into account, beyond the
notions of performance and usability, the notions of life cycle, obsolescence,
reliability and scalability of the systems provided, in order to guarantee
their high level of environmental quality.
Funding of the PhD:
The proposed subject was selected among the Laureates of the 2021 edition of
the CNRS 80 Prime scheme. As such, the doctoral student will be funded by a
doctoral contract for a period of 3 years. The thesis will be supported by an
operating budget (15 k€ in 2021; amount to be defined for the following
years). The thesis will take place between the Laboratory of Functional
Ecology and Environment (ENSAT site) and LAAS-CNRS.
Desired profile of the doctoral student:
MSc or engineering degree in the field of computer systems, electrical
engineering, communication networks or related disciplines, motivated by
environmental applications and team work. The candidate must have skills in
embedded software development, in particular for the management of a
reconfigurable architecture, together with a good proficiency of the C/C++
programming language. Skills in on-board signal processing and AIoT are also
desirable. A taste for full-scale experimentation is highly sought after. Good
practice of English is required. |

PhD Position on Explainable AI for Public Policy Design |
The lack of transparency hinders the use of AI techniques in real decision-
support contexts since results obtained from black-box optimization methods
are generally not trusted. We would not expect decision makers to leverage
policy recommendations when those recommendations cannot be fully explained.
This PhD project will focus on enhancing the interpretability and
explainability of bio-inspired heuristic optimization methods. In particular,
this project will formalize the patterns and pathways of operators when
searching for efficient tradeoffs. Additionally, it will set foundations to
assess interpretability, as currently there is ambiguity about what exactly
constitutes interpretability in heuristic methods. Further, we will advance
knowledge about the trade-offs between interpretability and predictive
accuracy.
In short, this project will build on the increasing body of literature on
explainable AI, but contribute a new research line on interpretable and
explainable heuristic methods with the aim of improving accountability of AI-
based decision support.
This is a PhD position in the Hippo (Hyper-heuristics for interpretable public
policy analysis) lab. The core goal of the Hippo lab is to advance multi-
purpose decision support using collaborative and heuristic AI methods. You
will work as part of an interdisciplinary team between the Interactive
Intelligence section in the Intelligent Systems (INSY) department at the
Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS)
and the Policy Analysis section in the Multi-Actor systems (MAS) department at
the Faculty of Technology Policy and Management (TPM), tackling the following
major scientific challenges:
1. How can we integrate subjective notions of ethics and fairness into algorithmic design?
2. How can we create an optimality taxonomy to find effective trade-offs in policy search?
3. How can we develop interpretable AI methods to gain public confidence and provide unbiased support in real decision-making contexts?
4. How can we support public policy deliberation via collaborative AI methods?
The Hippo lab is a Delft Artificial Intelligence Lab. Artificial Intelligence,
Data and Digitalisation are becoming increasingly important when looking for
answers to major scientific and societal challenges. In a DAI-lab, experts in
‘the fundamentals of AI technology’ along with experts in ‘AI challenges’ run
a shared lab. As a PhD, you will work with at least two academic members of
staff and three other PhD candidates. In total TU Delft will establish 24 DAI-
Labs, where 48 Tenure Trackers and 96 PhD candidates will have the opportunity
to push the boundaries of science using AI. Each team is driven by research
questions which arise from scientific and societal challenges, and contribute
to the development and execution of domain specific education. Data and
Digitalisation education related activities. All team members have many
opportunities for self-development. You will be a member of the thriving DAI-
Lab community that fosters cross-fertilization between talents with different
expertise and disciplines.

Two PhD positions in Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence for Mobility (1.0
FTE) |
Utrecht University (UU) is working together with the [Nederlandse
Spoorwegen](https://www.ns.nl/en) ([NS](https://www.ns.nl/en)) to translate
challenging problems related to passenger mobility into scientific questions.
The joint aim is to develop scientific breakthroughs to solve these problems
and put them into practice.
Through a coalition formed by Ahold Delhaize, ING, KLM, Philips, and NS, an
initiative was established called “Kickstart AI”, based on the conviction that
artificial intelligence (“AI”) will become an increasingly decisive part of
business operations and with the aim to increase the application level of AI
within the Dutch business community and the Dutch AI training capacity. As
part of Kickstart AI, [NS](https://www.ns.nl/en) and UU realized joint
appointments, including two 5-year PhD positions.
You will work in an NS team lead by Leo van der Meulen, under the supervision
of Professor Judith Masthoff. The positions include 70% research and 30%
teaching. Two days per week you will be based at the NS Utrecht office. Three
days you will be based in the UU [AI & Mobility
lab](https://www.uu.nl/en/research/ai-labs/our-labs/ai-mobility-lab).
**Research
** The research will focus on human-centred AI to (1) support existing NS
customers in making the next-best actions and (2) regain customers by giving
them tailored travel inspiration. The two PhD-students will research the
following topics:
* Personalized communication: Transparent, adaptive, interactive customer-AI communication, which allows customers to take control of and, consequently, influence their experience positively. AI-induced communication of when what, and how to provide information is central.
* Context modelling: External influences can significantly influence the travel experience and preferences (e.g., concerts and soccer games, weather, and luggage). AI-induced, personalized context models steer when, what, and how these influences are taken into account.
In both topics, ethics and psychological mechanisms are key.
You will build on previous research on AI, personalization, adaptive
interaction, and user/context modelling. You will use a mixture of qualitative
(e.g., interviews and focus groups), quantitative (e.g., empirical studies),
and AI (e.g. data-driven user modelling) methods. Your research will result in
both high-quality scientific publications and novel AI-induced NS products to
realize real world impact.
**Teaching
** You will be involved in supporting the preparation and teaching of BSc and
MSc courses, offered by the UU [Department of Information and Computing
Sciences](https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/department-of-information-and-
computing-sciences). Furthermore, you will supervise BSc and MSc-student
graduation projects, including internships of UU students with NS. |

PhD Candidate: Predictive Policing |
_The Dutch Crime Anticipation System (CAS) has been embraced as a step towards
forward-looking crime prevention, but it has also been criticized for its
potential discriminatory effects in both design and application. As a PhD
Candidate, your research will focus on whether CAS has risks of discrimination
and what interventions are possible to mitigate this risk._
The Department of Anthropology and Development Studies (CAOS) and the
Interdisciplinary Hub for Security, Privacy and Data Governance (iHub), both
at Radboud University, are looking for a PhD Candidate on the project
'Predictive Policing: The Dutch Crime Anticipation System (CAS) and its
Discrimination Risks'.
Predictive policing tools have proliferated in the last two decades in
response to louder calls for more effective and objective policing. Such tools
allow for automated predictions about who will commit a crime or when and
where crimes will occur. Predictive policing has been embraced as a step
towards forward-looking crime prevention, but it has also been criticised for
its potential discriminatory effects in both design and application.
In the PhD project we therefore focus on questions such as: How is CAS
designed to work and how does it work as a (cultural) system in practice? Do
the design and application of CAS bring risks of discrimination? Does current
regulation sufficiently protect people against such risks? What legal and
technical interventions are possible to mitigate the risk of discrimination?
Using simulations, can we predict what the long-term effects of such
predictive systems are? These questions ask for a combination of anthropology,
law and computer science, disciplines that are reflected in the team of two
CAOS and two iHub supervisors. You will:
* Conduct a desk study of CAS and carry out an ethnographic study of its workings in practice in order to assess its discrimination risks.
* Analyse current regulations that aim to protect people against discrimination and evaluate if such regulations need improvement, and, if possible, create a simulation, using artificial data, to improve CAS.
* Fruitfully cross and combine the disciplines of (digital and legal) anthropology, law, criminology, and/or computer/data science.
* Write articles in international journals and complete your PhD thesis within 4 / 5 years. |

Assistant Professor Urban Futures Studio tenure track position (0.8 - 1.0 FTE) |
In this tenure track position you will be working within the portfolio of the
Urban Futures Studio. Being a small team, the Studio works with annual themes
that help structure teamwork as well as our interaction with the outside
world. You work in close collaboration with the other members of the UFS,
including the Director, Prof. Maarten Hajer. Your research (50% of your time)
fits in with the broad themes that the UFS has laid out for the coming years.
Your teaching (50% of your time) is either in the domain of futuring or in
adjacent domains of the Copernicus Institute, such as Environmental Governance
or Innovation Studies. Successful candidates understand not only how imagined
futures weigh on action in the present, but also how action in the present
simultaneously creates such imagined and path-dependent futures. Moreover, we
encourage candidates to reflect on _the_ _ways in which we know about and
interact with the future_. As an interdisciplinary research group, the UFS
welcome candidates from a wide variety of disciplines from the social sciences
of humanities, who bring relevant disciplinary knowledge and look forward to
operating in a creative and interdisciplinary climate. Successful candidates
understand not only how imagined futures weigh on action in the present, but
also how action in the present simultaneously creates these imagined and path-
dependent futures.
At the UFS, you will combine an understanding of environmental issues and
politics with insights from fields like Science and technology Studies (STS),
public policy, discourse analysis, human geography or governance, and/or with
artistic insights. You will actively contribute to the further development of
the Urban Futures Studio into an academically innovative and societally
relevant institute. You work to deliver innovative insights, intertwined with
collaborating in new transformative policy practices. In conversation with the
UFS Team, you study existing ways in which futures are performed, for instance
by policy makers or in society. You investigate the techniques of futuring in
use and report on your findings, both in peer-reviewed articles and via media
that can reach selected target audiences. This means reporting your findings
in ways both appealing to a wider audience (e.g. short videos, blog posts,
presentations, one-pagers) and academic contributions (e.g. peer-reviewed
articles, books). Within the established UFS interest in futuring, you are
welcome to suggest and contribute to new lines of inquiry – we are always
happy to hear new ideas. We are looking to strengthen our understanding of our
four core topical interests:
* the relationship between democracy and the sustainability transition;
* the collective imagination and its change;
* reimagining the relationship between science and policy; and,
* recombining techniques of futuring for sustainability transitions.
Possible lines of inquiry include:
* How do imagined futures travel from presentation and performance to policy?
* How can we (empirically/conceptually) enrich our understanding of the performance of futures and techniques of futuring?
* How can we further connect our work to work on authority, legitimacy, justice, and democracy?
* How can we further develop an interdisciplinary futuring agenda, including art, education, literature, and policy?
* How can we connect our work on futuring to a new pedagogy oriented towards interventions in societal processes?
You are expected to report your findings in ways both appealing to a wider
audience (e.g. short videos, blog posts, presentations, one-pagers) and
academic contributions (e.g. peer-reviewed articles).
Additionally, candidates are expected to play an active role in the further
development of ‘Futuring’ education at Utrecht University. In addition to
regular courses, we are in the process of setting up a new experimental form
of education: the _Academy of Hope._ This will be a novel programme in which
professionals and Master's students work together on the active engagement
with the future. You are also interested in collaborating with academics,
policymakers, and other parts of society. Given the fact that the UFS reaches
out to policymakers and societal groups, good communicative skills are crucial
and fluency in Dutch (or a willingness to quickly develop this) is
appreciated. |

Postdoctoral researcher (Postdoc) Academy of Hope (0,8 - 1,0 FTE) |
In this four-year Postdoc position you will be working in the Urban Futures
Studio in active collaboration with the departments of Sustainable Development
and Human Geography and Spatial Planning. We are in the process of setting up
a new experimental form of education: the _Academy of Hope._ This will be
novel program in which professionals and master students work with each other
about the active engagement with the future. In 2021, the educational team of
the Urban Futures Studio won the second prize of the Higher Educational
Premium for education based on a ‘Mixed Classroom’ concept, in which teachers,
students and policymakers learned together. With the awarded grant, the next
step will be to develop an innovative curriculum in which students and agents
of change, such as policymakers, activists, artists, and others, learn with
_and_ from each other by exploring and engaging with both imagined futures ‘in
use’ and radically different imagined futures. A central notion in this
initiative is _hope_ , which we see as a generative concept beyond naive
optimism and fatalism. We position ‘hope’ against a looming ecological crisis,
which urges us to re-imagine the world we live in and how, where and with whom
we organize learning.
For this Academy of Hope, we are looking for a Postdoc. Beyond simply
implementing a programme, developing the _Academy of Hope_ means engaging with
action research, studying practices from around the world, working on an
educational and pedagogical philosophy, and experimenting with new forms. You
will do so in a small and vibrant team of Researchers and Teachers. As the
Academy of Hope postdoc, you will intellectually and practically design the
‘Academy of Hope’.
In addition to scoping and building the _Academy of Hope_ , you will work for
approximately one day a week on other projects in the Urban Futures Studio.
You will also actively contribute to the further development of the Urban
Futures Studio into an academically innovative and societally relevant
institute. You work to deliver innovative insights, intertwined with
collaborating in new transformative policy practices. We are looking to
strengthen our understanding of our four core topical interests: the
relationship between democracy and the sustainability transition; the
collective imagination and its change; reimagining the relationship between
science and policy; and, recombining techniques of futuring for sustainability
transition. You will be able to contribute to our teaching portfolio on
futuring. At the UFS, you will work in collaboration with academics,
policymakers, and other parts of society. These tasks will be discussed during
the application process. |

Within the Department Research and Innovation, you work complementary to the
research managers of the Grants Office. The research managers provide
information and support in particular at recruiting research funding at the
initiative of the researcher. Within the Valorisation Office, you work in
close collaboration with the colleagues who are specialized in intellectual
property, business and market analyzes, setting up innovative companies, event
organization and data management.
You have a broad scientific interest combined with a clear sense of
valorisation of research results. You look towards projects from a broad
knowledge profile without wanting to immerse yourself into scientific details
or niches. You are proactive and aim at facilitating collaboration between
researchers and industrial partners. You also support the researchers in
identifying valorisation processes for their research results. You stimulate
entrepreneurship among researchers. You advise on the development of business
plans and guide researchers in presenting pitches to investors so that more
spin-off companies can be started from AUHA. Networking is second nature to
you, and you actively contribute to the development of a network of external
partners for valorisation at AUHA. Reading, strategically interpreting and
negotiating cooperation and licensing contracts does not deter you.
In the life sciences, several AUHA research groups regularly collaborate with
industry. Some of the researchers involved can rely on an IOF valorisation
manager assigned to the IOF consortium to which they belong. In particular,
for all other professors and researchers from the Faculty of Medicine and
Health Sciences and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Veterinary
Sciences, you will become a pivotal figure in facilitating cooperation with
the business community in the short term, including through the relevant
Flemish smart specialisation clusters and sector organisations. The projects
can include biomarker research, therapeutic interventions, diagnostic tools,
exploitation of analysis methods, in vitro and in vivo models, medical
devices, e-Health and rehabilitation applications. You also encourage
professors to cluster their valorisation trajectories, so as to increase
interdisciplinarity, collaboration and visibility.

Postdoctoral research position in Precise Visual Localization and Navigation
via Implicit Neural Scene Representations |
Czech Technical University in Prague now offers a new fellowship program, the
CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-
program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the
chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year
fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.
Visual localization and navigation algorithms are key capabilities for a wide
range of applications, including autonomous robots such as selfdriving cars
and augmented / virtual reality systems. Typically, these algorithms rely on
explicit and discrete scene representations, e.g., sparse Structure-from-
Motion point clouds in the context of visual localization or voxel grids for
navigation and path planning. Recently, implicit scene representations based
on neural networks have been proposed that offer a continuous scene
representation, with highly impressive results in terms of the accuracy of the
represented 3D geometry. The objective of this post-doc project is to develop
visual localization and navigation algorithms based on implicit neural scene
representations. The goal is to exploit the potential of these
representations, which promise highly accurate 3D scene geometry at a small
memory footprint, to design highly precise localization and navigation
approaches. Important scientific challenges of this project include handling
changing conditions, e.g., moving furniture, and precise representations in
large-scale scenes (where the camera can be 10-100 meters away from the
scene).

ASIC design engineer in microelectronics for the FLARE project: LST Advanced
SiPM camera |
Description of the project
The project aims to design and develop future large-size cameras for gamma-ray
telescopes and electronics suitable for covering large surfaces. Over the next
four years, a new camera based on silicon photosensors (SiPMs) will be
developed with the scope of offering a future solution to equip the large
telescopes (LSTs) of CTA (). The use of SiPMs
combined with the development of innovative readout electronics will not only
increase the duration of observations while increasing the robustness of the
camera but also improve performance over the entire energy spectrum.
The Département de Physique Nucléaire et Corpusculaire de l’Université de
Genève coordinates the research and development project for these innovative
cameras within the LST collaboration. It participates in the management of the
project, in the simulations and data analysis, in the development of the
front-end and readout electronics.
The design of this camera provides for the use of pixels four times smaller
than the existing camera and therefore the same factor of four on the number
of pixels. This increase requires a significant reduction in the power
consumed by each of the components making up the signal acquisition chain. The
specifications in terms of consumption and speed are such that a dedicated
development is necessary. The project includes the design and production of an
ASIC dedicated to the amplification and signal shaping of the ~ 8000 SiPMs
that will constitute the camera.

## Functions
As a research engineer specialized in ASIC design :
* She/he performs ASIC development and prototyping for the front-end electronics of the FLARE: LST Advanced SiPM Camera project, specifically:
* definition of specifications
* circuit design and layout
* simulation, testing, verification and characterization
* writing of the technical operating documentation and the simulation and test reports
* She/he carries out the commissioning, the monitoring of operation and the study of the performances of ASIC for the front-end electronics of the FLARE project: LST Advanced SiPM Camera:
* planning
* sign-off

Postdoctoral fellowship in quantum information |
The Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics PAS invites applications
for a postdoctoral
fellowship at the CTP PAS, financed from the SONATA BIS project entitled
"Characterization and
certification of quantum resources" (2019/34/E/ST2/00369). The project leader
is dr hab.
Remigiusz Augusiak (website: ).
We are looking for a candidate with a recognized PhD degree (obtained not
earlier than in 2016)
in theoretical physics (or mathematics) and with a solid experience in quantum
information.
Good knowledge of mathematical methods of physics and/or computational skills
will be also

verification and certification
of quantum resources. There are two main aims. The first is to characterize
quantum resources
such as quantum entanglement or non-locality and propose efficient methods of
their detection.
On the other hand, we will design certification methods for quantum states,
quantum

2-years Postdoctoral fellow in Cancer Systems Biology |
A two-year postdoc position is available starting between October 2021 and
February 2022 in the "Oncoviral Systems Molecular Mechanisms" group led by
Etienne Coyaud at PRISM/INSERM U1192 () to
develop a project aimed at characterizing the transforming functions of Merkel
Cell Polyomavirus Tumor Antigens interactions.
Project
The Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV) is the latest discovered oncovirus and
represents a minimal transforming system associated with 80% of Merkel Cell
Carcinoma, an aggressive skin cancer. In virus positive (VP-) MCC, MCPyV is
integrated within host cells genome to trigger and sustain cancer development.
It expresses two Tumor Antigens (TAs; sT and truncated LT) which are essential
for tumor initiation and growth. Our characterization of sT and LT interactome
through cutting-edge proximal interactomics techniques allowed us to uncover a
fine interplay between the T antigen and epigenetic regulators. These
interactions are thought to drive transcriptome -hence proteome-
reprogramming. In this regard, we study the function of selected novel
interactions to characterize their involvement in several aspects of VP-MCC
phenotype (growth, apoptosis regulation and migration). Using in vitro systems
for TAs interactome delineation and their individual impact on proteome
remodeling, we aim at identifying specific epigenetic factors driving key
oncogenic mechanisms. Epigenetic analysis as well as functional genomics
experiments (CRISPR-Cas9) will be implemented in vitro and in vivo (CDXs) to
assign a functional significance to TAs interactors and finely characterize
both MCC and general new oncogenic processes. To reach these objectives, we
will first resolve the complexity of TAs and epigenetic factors interplay
combining proximal interactomics and proteome analysis (mass spectrometry)
with epigenetic and functional genomics (NGS). In a second phase, we will
assay the therapeutic potential of targeting transforming hubs using mice
models. This project will be conducted in close collaboration with Pr. Antoine
Touzé team (University of Tours, INRA 1282).
Work context
The PRISM Laboratory (Proteomic, Inflammatory Response, Mass Spectrometry),
U1192 INSERM is creating and developing novel technologies, new fundamental
biological concepts, new diagnostic tools and novel treatments. These fields
of expertise are all turned towards personalized medicine in oncology and
neurology. PRISM is hosting a strong expertise in a large panel of Mass
Spectrometry-based technologies, cell biology and imaging. It is located at
Lille, a lively city located between Paris (1h), Brussels (30min) and London
(1h30). The postdoc position is funded by the Institut National du Cancer
(INCa) |

Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship in damage sensing for soft actuators |
**SMART** () is a joint venture between academia and
industry, providing scientific and personal development of young researchers
in the multidisciplinary fields of soft robotics and smart materials. The
fellowships are funded as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)
Innovative Training Networks under the European Commission’s H2020 programme.
The successful candidates will be hosted at leading international
universities, research centres and companies with the possibility to write a
PhD thesis. The position is available immediately.
**Project description**
The development of soft actuators is a rising trend in robotics because of
their promise of more robust, resilient and energy efficient designs. However,
light weight and flexible structures are more susceptible to damage than
conventional rigid actuators. Therefore, it makes sense to incorporate self-
healing materials into flexible robot designs.
We are looking for a well-motivated member of our team to work on new ideas
for self-sensing flexible actuators. More specifically, the aims are:
* proposing new design principles for damage sensing of soft actuators considering their mechanical design, sensing capabilities and control principles
* developing physical prototypes and testing them
* proposing, testing and validating new approaches for modelling and control of the actuators
* publishing the results in scientific journals and conferences |

Contrat doctoral en anthropologie/sociologie - PhD contract in
anthropology/sociology |
Contrat doctoral en anthropologie/sociologie : « État, mouvements sociaux et
associations de droits de l’homme sur les fronts d’expansion en Amazonie
brésilienne »
Le programme CONTER (Conflits territoriaux sur les fronts d’expansion agricole
(Amazonie brésilienne) : violences, expulsions et domination politique),
financé par l’ANR, lance un appel à candidatures pour un contrat doctoral
d’une durée de trois ans.
Démarrant en janvier 2022 pour une durée de quatre ans, le programme porte sur
les conflits fonciers dans l’Ouest du Pará qu’il aborde en s’intéressant aux
mécanismes institutionnels et économiques qui les favorisent. Cette région
d’expansion agricole, qui est aujourd'hui une mosaïque complexe d'aires
protégées (unités de conservation, terres indigènes, territoires quilombola
[communautés noires rurales] et établissements résultant de la réforme agraire
(assentamentos)), est en effet le théâtre de nombreux conflits pour le
contrôle de l’espace et des ressources naturelles qui approfondissent les
inégalités sociales, la ségrégation économique, et la soumission des
populations pauvres rurales et des minorités ethniques aux groupes dominants.
CONTER s’attachera à mettre en évidence la relation entre les effets concrets
de la violence (intimidation, voire assassinats, expropriation foncière, voire
expulsion) et des configurations socio-économiques et institutionnelles
récurrentes. Il s’agit donc de saisir comment ces dispositifs contribuent à
recomposer les rapports sociaux dans l’espace et d’analyser les
reconfigurations politiques des mobilisations sociales ainsi que les processus
de territorialisation au sein d'un espace donné.
L’originalité du programme réside dans la combinaison de méthodes
qualitatives, quantitatives et cartographiques, en s’appuyant sur une
collaboration étroite entre des spécialistes des sciences sociales
(anthropologie, sociologie, géographie, droit) et des spécialistes des
Systèmes d’Information Géographique (SIG). Alors que l'approche cartographique
permet de mesurer l'ampleur des transformations morphologiques de l'aire
amazonienne (une zone particulièrement sensible du point de vue de la
biodiversité), le recours à l'analyse ethnographique permet de mieux saisir
les ressorts complexes des conflits socio-environnementaux et les mécanismes
institutionnels et économiques à l’œuvre.
Le sujet doctoral proposé par CONTER porte sur l’extrême foisonnement des
acteurs présents dans les situations de conflit étudiées : notamment, les «
mouvements sociaux », associations liées à l’église catholique (CIMI, CPT),
autres organisations religieuses (églises évangéliques), associations locales,
coopératives, syndicats ruraux, organisations non gouvernementales, agences
gouvernementales de régulation foncière (FUNAI, ICMBio, INCRA) et d’assistance
technique, et Ministère public. Le projet est particulièrement intéressé par
une mise à plat ethnographique des rôles, objectifs et fonctionnement de
chacun de ces acteurs, ainsi que des relations collaboratives ou
conflictuelles, anciennes et récentes qu’ils nouent, afin d’éclairer la
structure et la dynamique des arrangements institutionnels qui opèrent à
plusieurs échelles. Le sujet pourra éventuellement inclure une réflexion sur
la dimension genrée de l’engagement politique, en raison des croissantes
mobilisations féminines.
The ANR-funded **CONTER programme** (Territorial Conflicts on Agricultural
Expansion Fronts (Brazilian Amazon): Violence, Evictions and Political
Domination) is calling for applications for a three-year PhD contract.
Starting in January 2022 and lasting for four years, the programme focuses on
land conflicts in Western Pará, looking at the institutional and economic
mechanisms that foster them. This region of agricultural expansion, which is
today a complex mosaic of protected areas (conservation units, indigenous
lands, quilombola territories [rural black communities] and settlements
resulting from agrarian reform (assentamentos)), is indeed the scene of
numerous conflicts for the control of space and natural resources that deepen
social inequalities, economic segregation, and the submission of the rural
poor and ethnic minorities to dominant groups. CONTER will focus on the
relationship between the concrete effects of violence (intimidation, even
assassinations, land expropriation, even eviction) and recurrent socio-
economic and institutional configurations. The aim is therefore to understand
how these mechanisms contribute to the recomposition of social relations in
space and to analyse the political reconfigurations of social mobilisations as
well as the processes of territorialisation within a given space.
The originality of the programme lies in the combination of qualitative,
quantitative and cartographic methods, based on a close collaboration between
specialists in social sciences (anthropology, sociology, geography, law) and
specialists in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). While the cartographic
approach makes it possible to measure the extent of the morphological
transformations of the Amazonian area (a particularly sensitive zone from the
point of view of biodiversity), the use of ethnographic analysis makes it
possible to better grasp the complex dynamics of socio-environmental conflicts
and the institutional and economic mechanisms at work.
**The doctoral topic** proposed by CONTER focuses on the extreme multiplicity
of actors present in the conflict situations studied: in particular, "social
movements", associations linked to the Catholic Church (CIMI, CPT), other
religious organisations (evangelical churches), local associations,
cooperatives, rural unions, non-governmental organisations, governmental land
regulation agencies (FUNAI, ICMBio, INCRA) and technical assistance agencies,
and the Public Ministry. The project is particularly interested in an
ethnographic mapping of the roles, objectives and functioning of each of these
actors, as well as the collaborative or conflictual, long-standing and recent
relationships they establish, in order to shed light on the structure and
dynamics of institutional arrangements that operate at several scales. The
subject may include a reflection on the gendered dimension of political
commitment, due to the increasing mobilisation of women. |

6. ### Research topic: Impact of invasive tree species on ecosystem services: plant biodiversity, the carbon and nitrogen cycle, and climate regulation
7. ### Principal Investigator / Research group: dr. Marcin K. Dyderski, Department of Ecology
8. ### Project Description:
### Invasive trees and shrubs are one of the major threats to forest
biodiversity and ecosystem services. In the research project we aimed to check
how two the most common invasive trees in Europe – black cherry (Prunus
serotina Ehrh.) and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) impact on forest
ecosystems functioning. During four years we will establish 192 study plots
reflecting invasion gradient. This will allow to check the influence of black
cherry and black Locust on biomass, its production and decomposition, carbon
and nitrogen cycling, natural regeneration, biodiversity, and microclimate.
During project we will test the following hypotheses:
* ### Invasive species presence will increase both biomass stock and rate of matter cycling;
* ### Invasion effects per alien species biomass unit (per capita)will differ between black cherry and black locust, due to different strategies of nitrogen acquisition;
* ### Presence of invasive species will increase taxonomic diversity, but will decrease phylogenetic and functional diversity;
* ### Increased quantity of invasive species will decrease daily temperature amplitudes and will increase forest floor humidity;
* ### Increased quantity of invasive species will decrease forest ecosystem resilience via decreasing native species natural regeneration ability.
### In the research project we will use detail measurements from study plots
to develop models of black cherry and black locust impacts on forest
ecosystems. Such models will allow us understand which quantity of invader is
sufficient to cause irreversible changes in forest ecosystem functioning, and
how studied species modify forest ability to carbon and nitrogen storage.
Results of the project will significantly expand knowledge on the mechanisms
of biological invasions and matter cycling in forests, contributing to
fulfilling the gap in knowledge on the relationships among biodiversity,
ecosystems functioning, and their productivity.
### In our research project we offer a collaboration with a wide team of
specialists on biodiversity and nutrients cycling in forest ecosystems.
Joining to our research team will support wider studies aimed to increase our
understanding of forest ecosystems functioning and mechanisms of biological
invasions. We offer ability to wide exchange of ideas and scientific
development in a dynamic team, focused on broad scope of ecological
researches, and having a big experience in publishing in the best scientific
journals.

Doctoral scholarship - PhD position |
Name and description of the research project: Going beyond trolley dilemmas.
Determinants and consequences of an everyday moral dilemma between honesty and
deception. Funding awarded by the National Science Center in Poland to Dr
Katarzyna Cantarero.
The project aims to go beyond classical moral dilemmas in studying moral
decisions and to focus on the decision of whether to lie, or tell the truth.
We will focus not only on the conditions under which deception is more likely
to appear, but also on its consequences.
In the first part of the project, we will test situational factors that may
influence the decision whether to be honest or to lie in interpersonal
relationships. In the second part, we will look at the relational effects of
dishonesty compared to honesty in close relationships. The project will
include online experimental research, laboratory behavioural research, dyad
research and longitudinal research.

non-academic partners, who offer training and secondments.
The four recruiting universities are Aix-Marseille University (AMU,
France), Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB, Belgium), Sapienza
Universitá di Roma (SUR, Italy), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM,
Spain). The associated partners are the other 5 CIVIS universities:
National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, University of Bucharest,
Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen, University of Stockholm,
University of Glasgow; and the 24 non-academic partners (please check
the [CIVIS3i website](https://civis3i.univ-amu.fr/en/programme-partners)).
The CIVIS3i program is rooted in the concept of a cross-border
environment for research that offers a wide range of possibilities in
terms of international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral
collaboration. CIVIS3i offers a comprehensive training and networking
program, integrating interdisciplinarity and intersectorality in
research, as well as skills to work on an international environment.

PhD student (M/F) in multidisciplinary research: Physiopathology and
mathematical data processing |
The host team is internationally recognised for its expertise in regenerative
medicine, based on the knowledge and use of mesenchymal stromal cells. The
team published the first trial on the use of adipose tissue stromal cells for
the treatment of critical limb ischaemia. It has set up a cell production
process and a labelled quality control platform as part of the ECellFrance
national infrastructure to ensure the safety and quality control of the cells
and in vivo biosafety tests of the therapeutic cells. She has also
demonstrated that adipose tissue is a physiological and therapeutic reservoir
of stem cells that can be used in cell therapy. She has developed a highly
original model of tissue regeneration in the adult mammal that allows original
hypotheses to be calibrated and tested (Labit et al, Scientific Reports,
2018). She is at the origin of the biological questions that led to the first
published mathematical model for the emergence of structure (Peurichard et al,
J Theor Biol, 2017) and repair processes (Peurichard et al, J Theor Biol,
2019). It will provide longitudinal knowledge related to regeneration and
rejuvenation processes.
This multi-disciplinary project is in collaboration with teams of
mathematicians (IMT Toulouse, INRIA Paris) who are interested in collective
dynamics, decision making and self-organisation in complex systems from
biology and social sciences and a team of physicists (LAAS CNRS Toulouse). The
methods used combine analysis, asymptotic theory and multi-scale numerical
techniques.
The combination of these two teams will allow the combination of expertise in
stem cell biology, stroma and tissue homeostasis, and recent advances in
modern data processing, making whole organ regeneration a realistic and
achievable goal.
The ultimate goal of the overall project is to build a 3D numerical simulation
model to identify, mimic and study the endogenous self-organising mechanisms
of tissue reconstruction post-trauma or during ageing in the adult mammal. The
types of self-organisation that prevail in an adult tissue at equilibrium and
in a tissue under construction can be likened to phase transitions. More
specifically, the tissue will be considered as a complex system composed of a
set of agents (fibers, cells, networks), interacting according to heuristic
rules inspired by social complex systems. The aim is to identify the processes
involved in tissue reconstruction after rupture, through the concept of phase
transitions triggered by positive feedback loops between the various energetic
elements of the system (mechanical, metabolic, chemical etc). The multi-agent
model previously developed within the team will serve as a starting point and
will be modified to take into account various energy elements. This will
involve developments in mathematical modelling, numerical simulations, image
analysis techniques and calibration/comparison with experimental data. |

PhD position on “Predicting sedimentary architectures in a coastal- marine
aquifer through a source-to-sink approach. The Plio-Pleistocene sedimentary
deposits of the Roussillon” M/W |
This PhD is co-funded by the « région Occitanie » and the BRGM, and will be
held in the continuity of the « Dem'eaux Roussillon » reserahc project. The
PhD student will belong to the doctoral school “Gaia” from the University of
Monptellier. The PhD will be co-supervised by Johanna Lofi (Géosciences-
Montpellier, borehole geophysics, seismic stratigraphy) and Eric Lasseur
(BRGM, field and geological model). The team includes collaborators from
various French institutes : D. Granjeon (IFPEN, moeling), N. Loget (Univ.
Sorbonne, tectonic and sedimentary flux), P. Pellenard (Univ. Bourgogne
Franche Comté, geochemistry), B. Issautier, H. Tissoux (BRGM, field,
sedimentology), S. Berné et M.A. Bassetti (Univ. Perpignan, sedimentology,
paleo-climate), Y. Caballero (BRGM Montpellier, hydrodynamics).
The PhD student will work essentially in Montpellier (Géosciences Montpellier
laboratory) and at the BRGM in Orléans. Several secondments will be held in
the other laboratories involved in the project.
The project “ARCHI-ROUSS” is a source-to-sink analysis of the Plio-Pleistocene
sedimentary infilling of the western domain of the Gulf of Lion (French
Mediterranean margin). It integrates the quantification of eroded and
deposited volumes based on the interpretation of outcrops, well data and
seismic reflexion profiles. Those data will be coupled with petrographic
analysis and numerical modelling. The remarkably preserved sedimentary
infilling of the Roussillon mainly consists of deltaic related deposits that
have prograded both onshore and offshore over the Messinian erosion surface.
This sedimentary fill hosts onshore a highly solicited aquifer which
architecture needs to be better constrained. This source to sink system is
characterized by a drainage basin which evolution is relatively well known, a
transfer zone outcropping onshore, and a well preserved and well seismically
imaged sink area. This sedimentary system thus forms a particularly
interesting and promising case study for a source-to-sink approach and for
deciphering the respective contributions to that system of various forcings
(subsidence, eustatism, climate and sedimentary supply). Moreover, numerous
corings will allow the characterization of the mechanisms of production and
modification of the sediments during their transfer. The sedimentary
architecture of the Roussillon Plio-Pleistocene system will thus be first
characterised along an onshore-offshore continuum. A process based numeric
modelling will then be performed in order to test the relative importance of
the different forcings and to restore the sedimentary architecture and
reservoir distribution of the entire sedimentary succession.
This multidisciplinary project requires strong basis in different fields of
Earth Sciences in order to integrate the different data, approaches and
concepts. Good skills in basins analysis (field work, seismic and sequence
stratigraphy) are required as well as good understanding of geomorphology and
modelling. This project requires a comprehensive integration of different
datasets and thus a strong synthesis capability and abilities to work in a
research team. |

Post-doc (H/F) - Living materials and electrochemistry |
The candidate will develop experimental protocols to develop living materials
and study their properties. We will be particularly interested in biocathodic
reactions, for example the bioelectrosynthesis of hydrogen or the reaction
with nitrate ions for denitrification. Other targets may be considered
depending on the opportunities offered by our collaborations. Depending on the
expertise of the successful candidate, we may consider that molecular biology
is integrated into the project in connection with the development of
electroactive living materials.
A postdoctoral position is open to a young researcher motivated by the fields
of electrochemistry, electromicrobiology and living materials. There is
increasing interest in connecting microbes with electrodes for microbial
electrosynthesis and remediation. For example, we are currently interested in
denitrification and hydrogen production and we have developed protocols to
promote and study electron transfer reactions with microbes. For this project,
we want to design living materials with electrocatalytic properties and
explore their potential in biotechnology.
The research will be carried out at the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry and
Microbiology for Materials and the Environment (). |

PhD Position - Neuroelectronic interfaces that exploit the unique properties
of 2D+ nanostraw electrodes |
**Work group:**
IBI-3 - Bioelektronik
**Area of research:**
PHD Thesis
**Job description:**
One of the major challenges in modern neuroscience is to investigate
information processing of neuronal networks with high spatio-temporal
resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). While microelectrode arrays
(MEAs) offer a range of advantages such as their non-invasive nature, the
ability to interact with cellular networks over extended times and at multiple
sites and excellent temporal resolution, they also exhibit the drawback of
recording strongly attenuated signals. A possible approach for the improvement
of the recording capabilities of MEA-based devices is to increase the cell-
electrode contact via the introduction of additional dimensionality, either
through protruding structures that enable phagocytosis-like events (2D+
structures) or via cavities allowing for cellular protrusion into the sensor

PhD position 3D cell-instructive engineered stem cell models for
neuropsychiatric disorders |
The brain is the most complex organ of the human body. During the last two
decades, a new generation of scientists, between a microfabrication engineer
and a cell biologist, started to develop engineered microenvironments trying
to recapitulate the complexity of neural networks. In such context, brain
white matter has a central role in motor coordination and cognitive functions.
White matter abnormalities are detrimental and significant in many
neurological disorders, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Most of the
current approaches for the study of cells residing in the white matter, rely
on the use of strategies that are not able to realistically represent the
three dimensional (3D) spatial configuration in our brain, or are far from the
human white matter complexity. Representative systems are of utmost importance
to understand how physical and mechanical cues in the 3rd dimension, i.e.
mechanobiology, affect neural cell differentiation and fate in health and
disease. In the context of a NWO funded project in collaboration with Vrije
Universiteit of Amsterdam (VU), you will design, fabricate and characterize 3D
micro- and meso-scale environments to: investigate the mechanobiology and
foster/accelerate the maturation of iPSC-derived neural cells from both
healthy and ASD patients; study properties of and changes in white matter
structures within long-term diffusible neural tissue-like architectures (i.e.
spheroids/organoids). This integrated approach can be potentially used to
‘diagnose’ patient cell phenotypes and, in future, be employed to screen
(lead) compounds for the treatment of ASD. The investigation will be conducted
synergistically with another PhD student specialized in stem cell biology and
simultaneously appointed at VU. The preferred starting date will be the 1st of
November 2021.
If you are passionate about pursuing a PhD project at the interface between
Mechanical Engineering, Microfabrication, Materials Science and Neuroscience,
then we would welcome your application to join our group. The successful
candidate will:
1. Develop and conduct research on two-photon polymerization (2PP) and masked stereolithography/digital light projection (MSLA/DLP) for the realization of the 3D micro- and meso-scale structures with specific geometrical/mechanical features.
2. Integrate both commercial and customized photosensitive polymer/hydrogel materials within 2PP/MSLA/DLP processes.
3. Participate in the culture of iPSC-derived neuronal cells.
4. Characterize the mechanical, morphological and immunofluorescent features of both the scaffolds and the cellular networks.
5. Write a doctoral dissertation, publish results in renowned peer reviewed journals and present research at international conferences.
6. Engage in educational activities, such as supervising master students and assisting in classroom or teaching-lab activities |

3-year postdoctoral research position on the modelisation of snow cover over
sea ice and its impact on the local and remote climates (H/F) |
The postdoctoral research scientist will contribute to adapt advanced multi-
layer snow cover schemes developed for land surface such as CROCUS or ISBA-ES
to represent the snow cover over sea ice in the in-house coupled CNRM-CM
model. Such snow models will allow increasing the number of snow layers,
refining the representation of snow metamorphism and radiation transfer
through snow and introducing a spectral albedo into the CNRM-CM sea ice model.
The postdoctoral research scientist will assess the added-value of those
developments on the local and remote climates both in atmosphere-only and
global coupled simulations that he/she will produce. He/she will also work
toward an accurate representation of capillarity and sharp temperature
gradients which are peculiar features observed in the snow over sea ice but
not on land surfaces.
The Arctic sea ice has experienced a drastic decline over the last decades,
perceived as an emblematic sign of climate change. Substantial reductions in
sea ice cover, and also thickness, among other modifications, have already
impacted largely on local ecosystems, indigenous populations and possibly
lower-latitude climate. A further reduction in the sea ice cover and thus more
open water exposed to the atmosphere is expected in the near future. Two to
four times faster surface warming has also been observed in the Arctic than at
any other latitude over the last decades. This phenomenon is commonly referred
to as the Arctic amplification. Although the available observational record is
relatively short and the response of weather systems to a potential Arctic
forcing is highly chaotic, both leading to major uncertainties, the Arctic
climate change is thought to impact the mid-latitude atmospheric circulation
to an extent and through mechanisms which are still highly debated.
Heat exchange between sea ice and atmosphere plays a crucial role on the rate
of Arctic sea ice melting as well as on the teleconnections between polar and
non-polar regions. A realistic albedo feedback amplitude, central to the
Arctic amplification, requires a reliable representation of surface albedo,
which heavily depends on surface characteristics such as the presence of snow
or meltponds over sea ice. State-of-the-art representations of snow cover over
sea ice in coupled climate models are crude compared to snow cover models
developed for land surfaces such as CROCUS or ISBA-ES.
This position is funded by the Horizon 2020 CRiceS project (Climate relevant
interactions and feedbacks: the key role of sea ice and snow in the polar and
global climate system). The CRiceS project focuses on improving model
predictions of the role of polar processes in the climate system that consists
of the oceans, ice and snow cover, and the atmosphere. It is crucial to
understand the role of the polar processes, such as feedback loops, in the
present and future polar and global climate. CRiceS will enhance climate
models in terms of how polar processes are embedded in the model codes.
The position will be held at CNRM (Centre National de Recherches
Météorologiques) in Toulouse (France) in the GMGEC department (Groupe de
Météorologie Grande Echelle et Climat) in the IOGA team (Interactions Océan-
Glace-Atmosphère), in collaboration with the EST team (Equipe Système Terre).
The GMGEC department is at the forefront of climate modelling and contributes
to each phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) with its in-
home coupled model, CNRM-CM, co-developed with CERFACS. The IOGA team aims at
improving the representation of ocean, sea ice and atmosphere exchanges and
interactions in the CNRM-CM model and investigates coupled mechanisms and
processes driving the climate system behaviour. The EST team focuses on the
modelisation of land surfaces and its interactions with other climate system
components. Both IOGA and EST contribute to the development of modelling tools
used for climate predictions and projections and numerical weather predictions
(for instance the SURFEX platform, used for air-ice and air-sea fluxes
calculation and ocean-atmosphere coupling) |

Multimodal perception and statistical modelling of pedagogical classroom
events: towards a privacy-safe approach (Ph.D. in Computer Science and Applied
Mathematics) |
Over the past two decades, multimodal research in education has mainly
investigated instructional design principles related to learners’ cognitive
load, and was seldom done in real-world conditions like in classrooms. Context
Aware Classrooms (CACs) have recently become an adequate instrument for
recording and analyzing multimodal interactions, thanks to their sensors that
capture classroom events, on some main dimensions of the instructional
situation: time, space, social, and epistemic. Computer scientists have poorly
studied CACs, as other “ _in the wild_ ” contexts, even if research on
perceptive spaces is not new. Context-aware classrooms are perceptive spaces
with _eyes and ears_. Some privacy and ethical issues arise from these
capabilities. The goal of the system is to perceive the underlying cues of
instructional episodes (like students’ engagement, attentional level, etc.),
not to monitor individual behaviors per se, even if they are inadequate. The
challenge remains in perceiving these cues while preserving privacy.
Machine learning and deep learning techniques are usually used to analyze
audio-visual recordings in order to produce individual indicators (that may
harm participants’ privacy), before summarizing them for all the students in
the class, and are in turn used to answer research questions. In many
perception tasks, recent advances of deep neural networks can sustain analyzes
of instructional events. Several multimodal input features are extractable to
interpret and draw a multimodal model of the classroom situations:
action/activity, attention distribution, emotion, facial expression and
posture recognition features. Nevertheless, Deep Learning and statistical
methods still progress on state-of-the-art corpora while porting models in
real conditions remains a research challenge.
Instead of merely performing classification using state-of-the-art machine
learning techniques, this Ph.D. study couples Computer Science and Applied
Mathematics. It aims at optimizing the preprocessing and machine learning
models through statistical methods to perform dimensionality reduction,
efficient feature selection (in the preprocessing step) and meta-parameters
regression (in the machine learning step). This way, the proposed multimodal
approach, combining signal processing, machine learning and statistics, will
be both frugal and privacy compliant, relying on a minimal number of highly
informative features. This approach will be compared to classical machine
learning approaches in computer perception. We will concentrate our efforts on
conducting a comparative study to assess the relative performance and the
privacy degree one can guarantee to teachers and students in a CAC. A
statistical study will measure the performance loss with respect to
preprocessing parameters and meta-parameters in the machine learning process. |

growth, and attracting highly qualified talent.
We’re looking for people driven by excellence, excited about innovation, and
looking to make a difference. If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the
right place!
##### Your Role
In collaboration with Proximus Luxembourg we are developing what might become
the new OS for the seamless cloud continuum stretching from the Edge to the
data centre. Our vision is that developers should not need to consider
infrastructure, or develop for a certain architecture or accelerator. That
should happen at higher abstraction layers.
Cloud computing has enabled elastic provisioning of computer resources and
revolutionised the industry leading to basically zero cost investment needed
for infrastructure of new IT-companies. Most resources provisioned this way
comes from data centres with a vast array of quite similar compute offerings.
With modern distributed client-facing applications, however, there is a need
to move the resources closer to the clients, to the Edge. While this is
possible today, it is a manual time-consuming and error prone process.
The project for this position deals with automation of this process by
developing a set of complementary services. We will work on programming
models, develop a technology to allow software components to be executed on
heterogeneous hardware (including accelerators) without being modified. We
will also develop scheduling technology that can take performance constraints
into account and run the software at the compute resources that make most
sense taking not only performance into account but also power consumption.
The successful candidate will be supervised by Dr. Mats Brorsson (also
Professor at KTH Royal Institute of technology) from the University of
Luxembourg and with an industrial supervisor from Proximus, and join a strong
and motivated research team lead by Prof. Radu State. The candidate is also
expected to spend 20-30% of her/his time at the Proximus premises in
Luxembourg.
This is a fully funded position for 3 years (extendable to an additional
4thyear) connected to a partnership with Proximus, a Luxembourgish company in
cloud computing (under brand name Telindus) and telecom operator (under brand
name Tango). Therefore, the objectives of the PhD project are defined in
accordance to the project directions, and also aligned with the research
interest of Proximus towards their product development.
The position holder will be required to perform the following tasks:

* **Systems Engineering for Extremely Small Spacecraft**
The miniaturization of space systems is continuing, with CubeSats as the most
important category of miniaturized space systems. Most recently, even smaller
spacecraft have appeared, which are gram-scale and the size of a credit card
and even smaller, so-called ChipSats or AttoSats. These spacecraft are
expected to enable unprecedented missions such as distributed swarm sensor
networks and rapid technology testing in space. Due to their small size, low
development and launch cost, they also change the paradigm of spacecraft
development. Instead of years, these spacecraft can be developed within
months, at a cost of a few hundred Euros. Their launch in large numbers also
allows for massive redundancy and iterative flight testing of designs.
However, currently existing systems engineering and mission design approaches
are not well-adapted to exploit these properties.
The main objective of this thesis is to develop a systems engineering approach
for very small spacecraft (ChipSats / AttoSats) to exploit the advantages that
such small-scale space systems provide during development and the mission
itself. This objective requires the execution of the following subtasks:

right place!
##### Your Role
You will join the new Space Systems Engineering group. Together, we will
design breakthrough space systems and cutting-edge systems engineering methods
within the highly dynamic and rapidly growing Luxembourg space ecosystem. The
PhD will be in the following topic:
* **System Architectures for Space-Based Geoengineering**
Space-based geoengineering, also called space sunshade is an approach to block
a tiny fraction of incoming sunlight to Earth via an enormous number of
spacecraft with reflective sails, thereby contributing to climate change
mitigation. While geoengineering is still facing acceptability issues, it is
increasingly part of policy recommendations for climate change mitigation. It
might be a “life insurance” against potential tipping points, which could lead
to an unexpected, much higher increase in temperature with catastrophic
consequences for the biosphere. However, space-based geoengineering is
currently an underexplored approach to climate change mitigation. Its
feasibility from a technical, economic, environmental, and political point of
view is still unclear. The long lead-times before such a system can be built
up versus the rapidly diminishing window of opportunity for preparing climate
change mitigation measures crate an urgency in performing more in-depth
analyses of this concept.
The main objective of this thesis is to develop alternative system
architectures for space-based geoengineering and to evaluate them against a
variety of criteria. This objective requires the execution of the following
subtasks:
* Survey the existing literature on geoengineering in general and space-based geoengineering and characterize these approaches (concepts, impact models, evaluation criteria);
* Identify stakeholders, use cases, and candidate technologies for space-based geoengineering;
* Develop suitable criteria and metrics for comparing geoengineering approaches, in particular sustainability-related metrics for comparing space vs. terrestrial approaches;
* Develop a model-based systems engineering and simulation approach for exploring the trade-space of alternative architectures.
You will work in collaboration with international consortia, including major
space companies and universities. **The thesis work is expected to be
conducted within a duration of 36 to 48 months from start to thesis defense.**
We provide opportunities and support for career development.
##### Your Profile
**Experience** : You should ideally have some knowledge and experience in some
of the following topics:
* Systems engineering: Processes, methods, tools for developing complex systems
* Systems of Systems
* Model-Based Systems Engineering
* Multi-disciplinary and multi-objective design optimization
* Trade-space exploration / design space exploration
* Fundamentals of astronautics, astrodynamics, and in-space manufacturing

* Systems thinking: Holistic thinking, broad interests across disciplinary boundaries;
* Abstract thinking: Able to rapidly grasp abstract concepts
* Excellent analytical skills
* Excellent written and oral communication skills

Cost-efficient policy instruments for carbon sequestration - PhD
fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Technical Sciences |
Applications are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School
of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Environmental
Science programme. The position is available from 1 November 2021 or later.
**Title:**
Cost-efficient policy instruments for carbon sequestration
**Research area and project description:**
Increased carbon uptake in forest and agricultural land can contribute to
climate change mitigation at comparatively low costs. For the potential of
carbon sequestration to be realized, it is necessary to have well designed
policies and economic policy instruments in place. In this project, the PhD
student will investigate a transition towards cost-efficient policies for
carbon sequestration in forestry and agriculture in the EU, with a particular
focus on agriculture. This is done by modelling the potential cost savings
from carbon sequestration measures with respect to a successively more
stringent climate policy, given EU targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
by 40% by 2030, and to achieve climate-neutrality by 2050. Also, the analysis
will consider challenges to design cost-efficient policy instruments. These
challenges include the fact that the climate effect of sequestration measures
is non-permanent, and the presence of transaction costs related to the
measurement of carbon stock changes, negotiations of contracts with land
owners, and verification of outcomes. Within this project you will carry out
analysis to identify cost-efficient policy instrument in different EU
countries when non-permanence and transaction costs are taken into account.
The PhD student will work in a research group including economists and natural
scientist, and one more PhD student.
**Qualifications and specific competences:**
Applicants to the PhD position must have a Master’s degree in Economics or
equivalent. Good knowledge of English and good communication skills are
required, as well as the ability to work both independently and in groups.
Documented knowledge of quantitative methods and environmental economics is an
advantage.
Aarhus University encourages applications from all qualified candidates,
regardless of gender, age and ethnic background.
**Place of employment and place of work:**
The place of employment is Aarhus University, and the place of work is
Department of Environmental Sciences, Frederiksborgvej 399, DK-4000 Roskilde,
Denmark.
**Contacts:**
Applicants seeking further information are invited to contact:

2 PhD students/doctoral students (f/m/d) at the Leibniz Institute for
Neurobiology in Magdeburg (Germany) |
"The Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology is an internationally recognized
neuroscientific research institute and dedicated to the research on learning
and memory. Our research comprises all organizational levels of the brain –
from molecular and cellular processes to complex neuronal networks and
behavior. The Institute is a foundation under public law and committed to a
comprehensive policy of Equal Opportunities in employment and research.
The Research Group Neuroplasticity at the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology
in Magdeburg (Germany) seeks 2 highly motivated
PhD students/doctoral students (f/m/d)
to join our team for a project dealing with synaptic autophagy funded by the
DFG - FOR5228 Syntophagy “Membrane trafficking processes underlying
presynaptic proteostasis”. This post is for a 3-year fixed-term period with a
salary of TV-L E13 (65%) starting October 1st 2021.
About the project: An intriguing possibility that hasn`t been investigated in
detail is whether and how autophagy directly contributes to activity-dependent
synaptic change. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown whether autophagy has
a specific role in synaptic neurotransmission that goes beyond protein
degradation and whether endosomal sorting processes and removal of membrane
proteins at boutons actively contribute to synaptic plasticity. In support of
this latter notion several recent studies suggest that different membrane
sources and mechanisms might underlie phagophore formation in a stimulus-
dependent manner. In this project we will try to understand whether the
assembly of amphisomes at boutons is involved in presynaptic plasticity and
long- range signaling. Autophagosomes fuse with late endosomes in order to
undergo robust retrograde transport and we hypothesize that in the absence of
autolysosome formation, the resulting amphisomes serve as signaling and
sorting platforms while trafficking in a retrograde direction to the cell soma
(see Andres-Alonso et al., Nat Comm., 2019). Our overarching hypothesis is
that the enormous complexity of neuronal cytoarchitecture has led to ways of
long-distance protein transport that combine degradative with signaling
functions.
Your profile
• completed university degree (master, diploma or similar qualification) in
neuroscience, biology, biochemistry or other relevant discipline
• experience in cell biology, microscopy, imaging and/or biochemistry
• independent, self-reliant and dedicated style of work
We offer a stimulating environment and access to up-to-date methodology and a
highly relevant collaborative research topic. A variety of techniques

The first task will be to extend the simulations to near infrared and thermal
infrared, by deepening the study of the Embree library, which makes it
possible to calculate directly in Intel© processors, then to take into account
all the optical properties that are found in the urban environment. Particular
attention will be paid to the quality of ray tracing (see: A general rule for
disk and hemisphere partition into equal-area cells, B. Beckers & P. Beckers,
Computational Geometry - Theory and Applications, Volume 45, Issue 7, Pages
275–283, August 2012).
By the end of 2022, the team should have a working prototype, in order to
collaborate fully on the following tasks:
\- Measurement campaigns
\- Geometric modeling
\- Comparison of measurements/simulations to verify the hypotheses of the
proposed physical model
\- Simulation of rehabilitation or modification scenarios of a neighborhood
By the end of 2023, the tool will have to be complete and well documented, so
that it can be validated by external users. The tool will be free and open

Postdoc in Bio-optique caracterization, setting up and quantitative evaluation
of a biosensor for glyophosate detection (M/W) |
Environmental pesticides and genetic predisposition: a path toward autism
spectrum disorders (EnviroDisorders) is a Montpellier University of Excellence
(MUSE) funded project, in collaboration with the IGF Montpellier, CHU
Montpellier CRA– CeAND – FHU Neuroclin, INRAE Toulouse and IES – NanoMIR –
Montpellier. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a behaviorally defined
condition likely multifactorial and resulting from environmental and genetic
elements. Emerging epidemiological studies suggest that exposure to pesticides
associates with atypical neurodevelopmental trajectories, representing a risk
factor for ASD. [1,2]. We participate in an integrated clinicalexperimental
workflow where human and environmental evidences will drive experimental in
vivo studies with the goal of understanding the role of glyphosate exposure
and genetics in favoring ASD.
Mains task :
The long-term goal of IES Montpellier is to develop a point of care, that is,
an integrated optical sensor portative with a quick response in contrast to
the expensive and long-time analysis obtained by gas chromatography and with a
stable and reusable functionalization in comparison to the antibody-reactive
employed by the ELISA detectors. The detection of small particles, like
glyphosate with a very low size of 169 Da, and in low concentration, like 0.1
g/L is still a challenge in real-time and in-situ conditions. The ultimate
goal of our project is to demonstrate a plasmonic-based glyphosate biosensor
as a robust tool for measuring glyphosate levels allowing environmental
control and protection.
Activities :
Nanomir group in the theme plasmonics. Our originality is to address the
plasmonic sensing using heavily doped semiconductor. Nanomir can grow the
layered structures, fabricate the nanostructures[3] (using the facilities of
the Central Technologique de Montpellier), and characterize the plasmonic
nanostrucutres with a FTIR coupled to a microscope [4] and a focal-plan-array
(FPA) [5]. Nanomir is reputed for its know-how in semiconductor plasmonics
[6].
Position constraint :
\- Clean room work.
\- Work with biological-chemical products. |

PhD on the drivers of B vitamin enrichment in ruminant products (36 months) |
You will be welcome at the [Join Research Unit on Herbivores](https://umrh-
bioinfo.clermont.inrae.fr/Intranet/web/UMRH/en) by Dr Benoit GRAULET, who is
in charge of a program on the evaluation of the vitamin status of ruminants
and the relationships with the performance in terms of efficiency and product
quality. The PhD project is conducted in partnership with Dr Jennifer Ronholm,
an associate professor working on understanding the role of the microbiome in
the performance (especially health) of the host both at the [Departments of
Animal Science](https://www.mcgill.ca/animal/) and at [Department of Food
Science and Agricultural Chemistry](https://www.mcgill.ca/foodscience/) of
McGill University in Canada, and Dr Mélissa Duplessis, research scientist
integrating the relationships between cow nutrition, metabolism and health at
the [Sherbrooke Research and Development Centre of Agriculture and AgriFood
Canada](https://profils-profiles.science.gc.ca/en/research-centre/sherbrooke-
research-and-development-centre?=undefined&wbdisable=true). Drs Graulet and
Ronholm will co-supervise the PhD student, and the diploma will be delivered
by both the French University Clermont Auvergne and the Canadian McGill
University.
The joint project will aim to identify the main drivers of the B vitamin
enrichment in ruminant products through exploring the relationship between
husbandry conditions, especially diet, and the B vitamin status of the cows
and concentrations in milk. The B vitamins in ruminant products come from the
diet (except B12) or synthesis by some rumen bacteria species. Consequently,
the objective will be to establish the qualitative and quantitative
relationships between husbandry conditions and B vitamin concentrations in
products (raw milk, cheese, yoghurt) by exploring microbial mechanisms. In
this context, an original biostatistical approach will try to decipher the
links between the B-vitamin status of ruminants and the composition and
activities of B-vitamin synthesis of the rumen microbiota.
You will be more specifically in charge of :
* Analyzing B- vitamin content in biological matrices
* Treating data of rumen microbiome RNA sequencing
* Integrating data (husbandry practices, diet composition, metatranscriptomics, B-vitamin concentrations) and analyzing (including statistically)
* Valorizing results in international congresses and high ranking publications |

XAS and XMCD in multi-extreme conditions of field, pressure and temperature
H/F |
\- Develop a research activity in the field of strongly correlated electron
systems exploiting the LNCMI pulsed high magnetic field setup at ESRF beamline
ID24.
\- Get involved in the samples preparation and characterization (LAUE
diffraction, polishing or FIB preparation) prior to their mounting on sample
holders and diamond anvil cells.
\- Perform energy dispersive XAS and XMCD measurements under multi-extreme
conditions. This will involve using and developing the miniature plastic
turnbuckle diamond anvil cells in pulsed magnetic fields.
\- Support the development and execution of the data analysis by using and
extending an existing code-base.
\- Disseminate research results through peer reviewed publications and
presentations at scientific meetings and conferences.
This Postdoctoral Research Associate position is focused on the study of the
interplay between magnetism and electronic structure in strongly correlated
electron systems, using energy dispersive X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS)
and X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) measurements in multi-extreme
conditions of magnetic field (up to 30 T), high pressures (up to 10-11 GPa)
and low temperatures (down to 1.5 K). Energy dispersive XAS and XMCD are
ideally suited to simultaneously probe the electronic and magnetic state with
elemental and orbital selectivity. Very high magnetic fields are required to
control competing electronic and magnetic energy scales such as a correlation
gaps, or exchange interactions. The application of pressure modifying the
lattice parameters provides an additional means to finely tune these energy
scales. This allows one to gain a more complete understanding, and - in some
cases - to lower the corresponding critical fields to make new phases
accessible at all, and access states which can be reached by pressure only.
The successful candidate will play a leading role in conducting energy
dispersive XAS and XMCD measurements under multi-extreme conditions on
different compounds of strongly correlated electrons systems, taking in charge
the preparation of the experiments and the data analysis, as well as in
designing new software tools for data treatment.
The project will run with Fabienne Duc who works in the Conductors and Quantum
Magnets group at the pulsed magnetic field facility LNCMI-Toulouse and studies
magnetic field-induced phases in strongly correlated electron systems
(magnetic quantum spin systems and heavy fermions) using x-ray and neutron
scattering techniques in high magnetic fields.
The Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses (LNCMI) is a research
infrastructure welcoming researchers from around the world for high magnetic
field experiments. At two sites, LNCMI offers continuous fields in Grenoble
(LNCMI-G) and pulsed fields in Toulouse (LNCMI-T). The scientific activities
of the laboratory involved both in-house and collaborative research.
XAS and XMCD experiments in multi-extreme conditions will be performed in
transmission mode on the energy dispersive x-ray absorption spectroscopy
beamline ID24 at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, Grenoble, with
Olivier Mathon, coordinator of the beamline, with whom we have established a
long-standing collaboration. In particular, for this project we will be
working closely with Cornelius Strohm (DESY, Hamburg, Germany), who has great
expertise in the development of synchrotron techniques in multi-extreme
conditions of field, pressure and temperature. |

procedures will serve as basis for further optimizations and adjustments if
necessary. The fabricated bioelectrodes will be examined using electrochemical
methods and characterized principally via electron microscopy and Raman
spectroscopy.
This position deals with the development of highly capacitive bioelectrodes to
improve the peak power supply of enzymatic glucose/O2 biofuel cells for
disposable electronics in collaboration with two industrial partners. The
selected candidate will principally treat the experimental tasks but will also
be the link between the partners, by communicating the results.
The BioSEN team (Bioelectrochemistry for sensors, energy and nanomaterials) of
the DCM has high expertise in the field of the development of biosensors and
biofuel cells based on carbon nanostructures. The team conceived innovative
immobilization strategies for biological entities on carbon nanotubes and
graphene based on supramolecular interactions and coordination chemistry. The
team already demonstrated the proof of concept for such a hybrid system by
charging capacitive electrodes via enzymatic electrocatalysis.
Besides the expertise in the synthesis of functional monomers and
modifications of nanostructured supports for immobilizing biomolecules, the
DCM partner is highly experienced in the transduction of (bio-) molecular
recognition using principally electrochemical and optical techniques. |

PhD position in reliable deep reinforcement learning |
Are you interested in machine learning for intelligent decision making? Would
you like to overcome fundamental challenges and bridge the gap to physical
agents like robots, autonomous cars or automated factories? Create new cutting
edge neural network architectures to empirically solve theoretical problems in
artificial intelligence? Think about broader implications and practical
applications?
Deep reinforcement learning (RL) has been at the core of many recent success
stories in AI, in particular for playing strategic games like Go, Chess and
StarCraft. Despite those spectacular breakthroughs, RL is rarely used in
practice, as the learned control policies are generally not assumed to be
reliable enough for deployed robots or autonomous cars. We want to change
that!
During your PhD, you will develop new algorithms which generalize to
situations that differ significantly from training. This will be possible by
controlling a graph neural network's internal epistemic uncertainty, that is,
how much the network trusts it's own computations. You will evaluate your work
on multi-task RL benchmarks, where the agent learns one policy that is able to
solve more than one task. Examples are simulated Mujoco robots or different
levels of the same computer game. Your challenge will be to study, propose and
empirically verify the properties that improve generalization in these
benchmarks. You will be collaborating with other members of the Algorithmics
group that work on related projects. There might also be an opportunity to
transfer your work to real robots, if you are interested |

PhD Position in Formal Methods for Learned Systems |
The main difference between most modern learned systems and traditional
automation is that behavior is not programmed, but derived from examples. When
using such systems in practice we need to be able to identify when the system
may not be doing what we want. The challenge this project addresses is to
support experts in monitoring learned systems, so that they can step in to
prevent AI systems making decisions that are discriminating, dangerous or
simply wrong.
We consider human feedback to be essential for achieving reliability of
learned systems in the real world. We believe in the hidden potential of the
synergies between formal and learning-based methods. You will conduct both
theoretical and empirical research on monitoring learned systems. You can
choose to primarily focus on one of the aspects or their intersection. We
envision the project to have both significant scientific and practical impact,
across areas that use learning for automation.
You will be part of the Algorithmics Group in the Department of Software
Technology of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer
Science. In the Algorithmics group, we aim to design, and understand
fundamental properties of, planning and coordination algorithms for
intelligent decision making in real world applications. As the member of the
group, you will reinforce and extend the group's research activities in the
emergent interdisciplinary field combining formal methods and machine
learning. Algorithmics group has a long-standing track record in the area of
artificial intelligence. Our research output is supported by several awards
and by numerous conference papers at IJCAI, AAAI, AAMAS, ECAI, as well as
TACAS, CPSWeek, ATVA. In addition, you will have an opportunity to collaborate
with the Interactive Intelligence Group internationally recognized for their
research on socially interactive agents |

PHD position differential equations on graphs and discrete-to-continuum limits |
Graph gradient flows are commonly used in applications such as image
segmentation and data clustering. In such applications the vertices of the
graph represent the pixels from the image or the datapoints. It is important
to know what happens when more pixels or data are available, i.e. when the
number of vertices increases. If the graph gradient flow converges to a
continuum gradient flow in this limit, the corresponding segmentation or
clustering method is called "consistent". It shows that in the presence of
more data, the method does not give very different outcomes, but rather better
approximates the solution to a well-defined problem. This is an important
requirement to interpret and trust the outcomes of the method.
The Ph.D. student will investigate the discrete-to-continuum limits of graph
gradient flows, with the goal of rigorously proving convergence for various
different gradient flow models on various different classes on graphs. This
will require a strong background in rigorous mathematics, in particular in the
analysis of (ordinary and partial) differential equations and related fields
such as variational methods, functional analysis and measure theory. Some
familiarity with graph theory is also welcome, but the main techniques and
models will come from the area of differential equations. In particular, this
will not be a graph theory project.
Even more so than specific mathematical background knowledge, the project
requires the skills, abilities, and motivation to work on detailed and
technical mathematical problems that require rigorous proofs.
The main focus of this project lies on the theoretical aspects of graph
gradient flows and their convergence properties. Applications of such flows,
such as image segmentation and data clustering, will be important motivators,
but will not be central to the project.
The student will be supervised on a daily basis by dr. Yves van Gennip and
have regular meetings with dr. Johan Dubbeldam, both at the Delft Institute of
Applied Mathematics (DIAM) at Delft University of Technology. There will be
opportunities to collaborate with other researchers, both nationally and
internationally.
**Early applications are welcome. If a suitable candidate is found before the
end date of the vacancy, the position may close earlier than listed.** |

Modern networked systems are some of the most complex things ever created,
composed of vast intertwinings of systems and protocols distributed over wide
areas. Unfortunately, the complexity of these systems is increasingly
exceeding the ability of humans to effectively reason about and administer
them. In this PhD project, we will explore the use of computer-assisted
intelligence to build self-managing networked systems. This project will be

Two year research Engineer positions in green AI applied to tutoring systems
in primary schools. Computer vision and Optical Character recognition |
Education is becoming more and more digital and as a consequence, more and
more education data is available. This open new perspectives to build models
to prevent didactic holes and weaknesses as well as to compare different
learning methods. In this context, two positions are opened at the university
of Pau in a joint R&D project with the Prof En Poche company.
The Prof En Poche company is currently installing embedded agents in dozens of
French primary schools. The first goal is to help children education and day
by day learning. Secondly, this is a unique opportunity to gather data on
children education at a large scale. However, this setting rises the issue of
building a children computer interface in a noisy environment such as a
classroom. This agent uses technologies such as automatic speech recognition,
speech synthesis and Optical Character recognition. Although opensource
solutions are available, they have to be adapted to fit this specific context
in terms of robustness to noise and the particular domain of the data through
transfer learning. Last but not least, the project participates to a research
effort toward the reduction of IA carbon footprint, which is the main research
topic of our research group. As a consequence, a focus will be placed on light
deep learning models for instance, through pruning, quantization or energy
aware neural architecture search.
In conclusion, two positions are opened : one in speech processing and one in
computer vision. Both will participate to the project of building the embedded
system of the Prof En Poche company, while optimizing a compromise between
accuracy and carbon footprint.
The hosting lab is located in Pau, a scenic region in the south west of
France, surrounded by the Pyrenees mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. It offers
high quality of life, exciting recreational activities, including hiking,
climbing, skiing and surfing as well as varied cultural activities. It is
within close proximity to Spain, Toulouse and Bordeaux. |

Intermediate Research Support Technician for the project "Structuring a
subsidiary for the cross-border VAluation of maize and sunflower Stalks for
COnstruction" 150-753-034 |
**Mission:**
The SAVASCO project (Interreg POCTEFA) aims to structure a cross-border
construction industry based on maize and sunflower stalks. Today, thermal
insulation materials for buildings are mainly derived from non-renewable raw
materials of mineral or oil origin, the extraction and processing of which has
a major environmental impact, particularly in terms of greenhouse gas
emissions and energy consumption. However, certain agricultural waste like
corn or sunflower stems naturally have physical properties, such as a low
thermal conductivity coefficient and a high moisture buffering capacity, which
are in fact highly sought out for the creation of thermal insulation
materials. In addition, these biosourced raw materials offer many
environmental advantages: they are renewable, locally sourced and constitute
carbon sinks. Therefore, SAVASCO's main objective is to contribute to the
development of an innovative and sustainable economic sector within the
construction industry arising from the cross border cooperation between France
and Spain.
Indeed, cross-border cooperation has made it possible to set up a consortium
of laboratories and companies with compatible skills in order to achieve the
following results:
1) The development of low-cost stem collection and treatment processes.
2) The multi-physical, environmental and economic characterisation of the
plant aggregates produced.
3) The formulation, implementation and characterisation of the use and
environmental performance of the innovative construction materials created.
4) The construction of two teams that contribute to the research, training and
communication tools, stemming mainly from biosourced and comprehensive
solutions.
5) The recognition and networking of the various stakeholders belonging to the
sector (agricultural cooperatives, designers, craftsmen, construction
industrialists, material distributors, research laboratories and training
organisations).
6) The realisation of a full life cycle assessment of the plant aggregates,
the construction products created as well as the sector itself overall.
The post will be funded by the research group GICITED of the Universitat
Politècnica de Catalunya, specialised in the formulation, characterisation and
multi-physical optimisation of construction materials from agricultural by-
products; and co-supervised in collaboration with the SUSCAPE group, from the
Universitat Rovira i Virgili, specialising in energy modelling of buildings,
life cycle analysis, circular economy, sustainability and process
optimisation.
**Functions:**
* Characterisation of construction materials based on vegetable aggregates and subsequent hygrothermal characterisation, durability and fire behaviour of the construction products developed during the project. For which the equipment available in the laboratories of the GICITED research group will be used.
* Support in the design of the construction solutions and the two full-scale prototypes that will incorporate the products developed in the project. One of them will be built in Tarbes (Tolouse) and the other in Sant Cugat (Barcelona).
* Energy optimisation of the prototypes by means of energy modelling tools and the incorporation of passive environmental control elements adapted to the climatic zones considered. The calculations will be carried out in Energy Plus and TRANSYS.
* Supervision of the construction works and recording and evaluation of the whole process. Data collection for the creation of an inventory for the Life Cycle Analysis of materials and construction solutions.
* Design and installation of the monitoring systems necessary for the analysis of the dynamic thermal behaviour and environmental quality of the prototypes.
* Follow-up of the monitoring that will include the testing of the instruments and the collection and analysis of the data generated. These data will be used to calibrate the energy model previously made.
* Drafting of scientific and technical documents for the dissemination of the results of the project |

Intermediate Research Support Technician for the project "Structuring a
subsidiary for the cross-border VAluation of maize and sunflower Stalks for
COnstruction" 150-753-035 |
**Mission:**
The SAVASCO project (Interreg POCTEFA) aims to structure a cross-border
construction industry based on maize and sunflower stalks. Today, thermal
insulation materials for buildings are mainly derived from non-renewable raw
materials of mineral or oil origin, the extraction and processing of which has
a major environmental impact, particularly in terms of greenhouse gas
emissions and energy consumption. However, certain agricultural waste like
corn or sunflower stems naturally have physical properties, such as a low
thermal conductivity coefficient and a high moisture buffering capacity, which
are in fact highly sought out for the creation of thermal insulation
materials. In addition, these biosourced raw materials offer many
environmental advantages: they are renewable, locally sourced and constitute
carbon sinks. Therefore, SAVASCO's main objective is to contribute to the
development of an innovative and sustainable economic sector within the
construction industry arising from the cross border cooperation between France
and Spain.
Indeed, cross-border cooperation has made it possible to set up a consortium
of laboratories and companies with compatible skills in order to achieve the
following results:
1) The development of low-cost stem collection and treatment processes.
2) The multi-physical, environmental and economic characterisation of the
plant aggregates produced.
3) The formulation, implementation and characterisation of the use and
environmental performance of the innovative construction materials created.
4) The construction of two teams that contribute to the research, training and
communication tools, stemming mainly from biosourced and comprehensive
solutions.
5) The recognition and networking of the various stakeholders belonging to the
sector (agricultural cooperatives, designers, craftsmen, construction
industrialists, material distributors, research laboratories and training
organisations).
6) The realisation of a full life cycle assessment of the plant aggregates,
the construction products created as well as the sector itself overall.
The post will be funded by the research group GICITED of the Universitat
Politècnica de Catalunya, specialised in the formulation, characterisation and
multi-physical optimisation of construction materials from agricultural by-
products; and co-supervised in collaboration with the LERASS team of the
Université de Toulouse III (France), specialised in sustainable development
and communication
**Functions:**
* To evaluate the environmental, economic and social performances of the products within the sector thanks to the life cycle assessment already undertaken. This assessment requires both the completion of an environmental inventory and the collection of data from stakeholders within the sector. The postdoctoral student will therefore have to choose and develop the environmental criteria, which will enable him/her to evaluate these performances (i.e. Energy, GHG, Resource depletion, water, air pollution...). He/She will then need to evaluate the global Life Cycle Cost (LGC) and Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA). The SIMAPRO software will be used in order to achieve this. The candidate will need to accurately identify and assess both the opportunities and risks associated to the process. The final objective will then be to establish a roadmap to ensure the long-term and sustainable development of this sector. The objective of this document will be to advise the developers who will be tasked with overseeing the projects. The guidelines provided will include technical, strategic and marketing recommendations and the aim is to promote and ensure the future development of this sector.
* To identify and connect the different stakeholders which are part of the sunflower production, corn aggregates, and implementation and prescribing construction products sector. To do this, meetings with the stakeholders based within the territory will be organised and a list of partners will be established. It will then be a question of creating and maintaining the links between these stakeholders whilst also informing them of the latest developments within the project. Given the nature of these tasks the chosen candidate will therefore be required to contribute to the organisation of meetings, open days and exchanges between the various members and potential members of the project and in turn produce a video and platform which highlights the advancement of the project and maintains the existing network even after the project is completed. Finally, after having done all the aforementioned tasks, the selected candidate will be required to organise a final event that brings together all of the institutions and people who have taken part in this initiative. This last part of the mission should lead to the creation of an association bringing together farmers, people from the construction industry, from laboratories and other institutions in order to officialise the structure and development of the sector so that it can defend its own interests, bring people together and guide various companies and territories in implementing the same activity beyond the confines of the SAVASCO project.
* To create both university and professional training tools thanks to the content and tools developed by the other teams for the project. This part of the project will be carried out in collaboration with the Serious Game Research Lab team from the Institut Universitaire Champollion. Based on the research lab’s expertise, it will be possible to create interactive, digital and educational activities to promote the acquisition of knowledge in the construction sector and products originating from corn and sunflowers. |

ESR6: PhD Student Position at Robert Bosch GmbH within EU MSCA-ITN-ETN NewFrac |
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network "NEWFRAC"
([www.newfrac.eu](http://www.newfrac.eu)) is a high-level training of a new
generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers
(ESRs) through the development and engineering applications of a new modeling
framework focused on the prediction and analysis of multi-field fracture
phenomena in heterogeneous engineering systems at different scales. NEWFRAC in
its mission of training students capable of solving the current problems of
multi-field fracture phenomena in heterogeneous engineering systems, offers
**13 PhD positions** for early stage researchers ( **ESRs** ) distributed in a
network of 5 European countries ( **France, Germany, Italy, Portugal and
Spain** ) and two countries associated ( **Israel and Switzerland** ), with
the participation of prestigious academic and industrial institutions that
will allow researchers to grow and develop their technical skills in a
multisectoral environment.
Besides working on their project at their home institutions, the researchers
will participate in network-wide training events like summer schools.
Moreover, they will conduct secondments at other network partners combining
academic and industrial experiences.
The following position and project is available at Robert Bosch GmbH in
Renningen, Germany:
**ESR 6: Multiscale modeling of fracture processes in injection molded SFRPs**
**Objectives** :
Components made of Short Fiber Reinforced Plastics (SFRP) are typically
manufactured via injection molding. Hereby, the resulting local
microstructural configuration of the composite, i.e. the spatial arrangement
of the fibers, highly influences the deformation and failure behavior of the
macroscopic component. Later in the application, products made of these
composites are exposed to harsh environments and severe operational loads.
Aiming at the development of products with high reliability requirements in a
time- and cost-efficient manner, simulation methods with high accuracy
predictions and efficient adaption routines are becoming increasingly
important. To achieve this, robust multiscaling techniques must be established
that contain elements of virtual material testing where a large portion of the
required experiments are transferred from the lab to the computer. This
requires an explicit modeling of all relevant deformation and failure
mechanisms on the microscopic scale using Representative Volume Elements
(RVEs) in combination with numerically efficient Fast Fourier Transformation
(FFT) solvers. Aiming at a data-driven multiscaling approach, the results of
these microstructural simulations are transferred to a database which is the
basis for a precise anisotropic virtual analysis of plastic components on the
macroscopic scale. With a view to fracture mechanical processes in SFRP
components, this ESR project is addressing the extension of existing data-
driven multiscaling approaches for SFRPs towards anisotropic fracture using
the phase field (PF) approach. The first objective of this ESR project is the
theoretical formulation and numerical implementation of this PF-model into a
commercial FEM package. The second objective is the calibration and validation
of the developed model with experimental results based on macroscopic boundary
value problems with different complexity ranging from plain samples to
product-like demonstrator components.
**Doctoral program** : ESR-6 will be enrolled as doctoral student in the
Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zürich, Switzerland.
**Secondments** : 6 months at ETH Zürich (Switzerland) and 4 months at
Sorbonne Université Paris (France).

MSCA postdoctoral fellowship |
In the Biochemistry department of Maastricht University we work on proteins
(anticoagulants, platelet aggregation inhibitors, and immunomodulatory) from
the salivary glands of ticks since these proteins can help us to unravel
molecular mechanisms of health and disease and could be used as diagnostics or
therapeutics.
We make these proteins chemically (using solid-phase peptide synthesis
techniques) and via recombinant expression. Next, we study structure-activity
relationships. If you are interested in studying (structure-function) proteins
of blood-sucking parasites, I invite you to contact me. We can then work
together on a MSCA grant (or other) application.
The goal of the[ MSCA postdoctoral
fellowships](https://ec.europa.eu/research/mariecurieactions/actions/postdoctoral-
fellowships) is to enhance the creative and innovative potential of
experienced researchers, wishing to diversify their individual competence in
terms of skill acquisition through advanced training, international and
intersectoral mobility. There are two main requirements of eligibility to
apply for a MSCA:
1\. Candidates must have a PhD (or equivalent research experience of at least
four years’ full time research experience by the time of the call deadline: 12
October 2021)
2\. Candidates can be of any nationality but must not have lived or worked in
The Netherlands for more than 12 months during the three years up to the
closing date of the call (12 October 2021). |

Postdoctoral Fellow / PhD Student / Staff Scientist |
The Dimas Lab is recruiting researchers at all levels (postdoctoral fellow,
PhD student, staff scientist) to join our team at BSRC Alexander Fleming in
Athens, Greece, to work on ERC-funded research in regulatory genomics and
disease genetics. The group’s research is highly interdisciplinary and covers
human genomics, systems biology, statistical genetics, bioinformatics, and
molecular biology.
Our group’s main project addresses the molecular impact of dietary intake in
humans through comparison of molecular and functional effects in two groups of
individuals with distinct dietary regimes
([www.fastbio.gr](http://www.fastbio.gr) in Greek). Molecular effects are
explored in the context of embedded genetic variation, through a comprehensive
set of omics assays, including transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics and
investigation of the gut microbiome. Functional consequences are interrogated
at the cellular level through primary cell culture. We are uncovering striking
molecular differences across dietary groups and across sampling timepoints. We
are seeking highly motivated individuals to join our group and take part in
analysis of genotype, RNA-Seq, EPIC methylation array, Olink proteomics, and
16S rRNA-Seq data in order to: a) uncover signatures linked to the nutritional
environment, b) explore how dietary intake affects molecular pathways linked
to disease susceptibility, and c) interrogate whether diet can be used in
combination with therapeutic agents to maximise their effect.
Postdoc: The ideal candidate will have a PhD in a quantitative discipline such
as Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Statistical Genetics, Biostatistics
and related fields. She/he will have experience in in analysing large-scale,
biological datasets using R, python, perl etc.
PhD student: The ideal candidate will have a degree in Computer Science,
Statistics, Computational Biology, or in Biological Sciences, but with strong
computational skills.
Candidates who also hold an MSc in one of the above fields will be preferred.
Staff scientist: The ideal candidate will have a degree in Computer Science or
a related field, and experience in processing and management of large-scale
(preferably biological) datasets.
Requests for more information and expression of interest should be sent to Dr

EVALUATION AND SELECTION PROCESS
The evaluation is carried out in two phases, which will result in a final
classification between 0 and 100 points.
First phase: Curricular assessment
The selection is made through the evaluation of the motivation letter, which
will include the activity and career development plan, and of the scientific
and curricular journey, focusing on the scientific production and professional
activity in the last five years that the candidate considers more relevant.
This five year period may be extended by the jury, at the request of the
candidate, if reasoned on suspension of the scientific activity for socially
protected reasons, namely for parental leave, serious and protracted illness,
and other legally protected situations of unavailability for work.
It is intended to assess the scientific and professional curriculum of the
candidate focusing on the relevance, quality and timeliness of the factors
referred to in Article 5 (2) (a) to (d) of the RJEC and of the motivation
letter in the subject area(s) of the tender, considering the specific
requirements and the adequacy for the duties to be performed.
F1 - Scientific, technological, cultural or artistic production that the
candidate considers more relevant.
F2 - Activities of applied research or based on practice that the candidate
considers with greater impact.
F3 - Activities of extension and dissemination of knowledge, namely in the
promotion of the culture and the scientific practices that the candidate
considers more relevant.
F4 - Project management activities and programmes of science, technology and
innovation, or experience in observation, monitoring and evaluation of the
scientific and technological system or higher education in Portugal or abroad.
Included here are the activities of preparation and submission of applications
for science, technology and innovation projects.
F5 - Motivation letter, including the activity and career development plan,
integrated and consistent with the duties to be developed under the strategic
project of INESC TEC.
The evaluation of all candidates in the first phase must be completed within a
period of no more than one calendar month after the applications are received.
The candidates who have obtained less than 70 points in the average of the
curricular assessments of the members of the jury will be considered not
approved in absolute merit.
The top five candidates in the average of the curricular assessments that were
approved in absolute merit will be qualified for the second phase, consisting
of an individual interview, either face-to-face or through videoconference.
The interview will weight, at most, 10% of the final classification. The
candidates who don't qualify for the second phase will have a classification
of 0 in the interview.
Second phase: Interview
In accordance with Article 5(5) of the RJEC, as it stands, the Jury will
individually interview each candidate that were qualified to the second phase.
During the interview, the members of the Jury will stimulate an open debate
about the quality and the innovative and creative nature of the research and
professional activity of the candidates, considering the requirements and the
subject areas of the specific tender procedure.
The interviews will be conducted within a period not exceeding 10 working days
after the decision of the Jury.
FUNCTIONING OF THE JURY
Each member of the Jury will assess all the candidates in all the factors from
F1 to F5 between 0 and 100 and must present the reasons for the scores
attributed. Abstention is not allowed. A similar procedure will be followed
regarding the candidates that are called for the interview. The candidates
that are not called for an interview will have 0 points in the second phase.
The curricular assessment (CA) of each candidate is obtained according to the
average of the factors (F) that is evaluated by the weights of the following
formulation, expressed to the first decimal.
AC = F1*50 + F2*35 + F3*5 + F4*5 + F5*5
The final classification (FC) of each candidate is obtained according to the
average of the final results of the curricular assessment and of the interview
(I) that is evaluated by the weights of the following formulation, expressed
to the units.
CF = AC*90 + E*10
After completing the application of the selection criteria, each member of the
Jury will sort the candidates according to the final classification assigned
to them. Based on this sorting, the Jury will sort the candidates by
successive clearance to the first place and following places (each member of
the jury follows their personal sorting). The clearance is carried out when a
candidate obtains more than half of the votes. If this doesn't happen in the
first voting for a particular place, the least voted candidate is eliminated
and the procedure is repeated with the remaining candidates (with tiebreakers
based on the average of the final classifications).
The Jury will advise the hiring of the candidate approved in absolute merit
sorted in the first place.
A minute is drawn up after the jury's meetings, containing a summary of what
has arisen from them, as well as the assessments made by each one of the
members and their reasons, and shall be made available on request to the
candidates.
SELECTION JURY
In accordance with article 13 of RJEC, the jury is composed of the following
members:
President of the Jury: Pedro Jorge
Full Member: Rui Costa Martins

Post-doctoral fellow |
**Translating architecture of the tumor extracellular matrix into function**
Applications are invited for a 2-year 3iA Côte d’Azur postdoctoral position in
tumor/ECM biology to study functional and structural features of the
extracellular matrix (ECM) in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment of
head and neck cancer. Immunomodulatory therapies are promising for this tumor
type, yet resistance rates are high since less than 20% of patients respond.
We are specifically interested in exploring the tumor ECM environment,
together with immune cell signatures, for gaining mechanistic insights into
invasive disease and resistance to immunotherapy. Our previous work on ECM
topology has provided a framework for quantitative description and modeling of
matrix features associated with disease states. The present project involves
functional analysis of matrix components in cell culture models, and
quantitative characterization of ECM architecture in human tumor tissue using
multiplex immunofluorescence imaging.
Biological studies will be carried out in the Institute of Biology Valrose, a
leading Research Center of the Université Côte d’Azur (UCA) equipped with
state of the art core facilities and a dynamic and international scientific
environment. Computational analyses will be performed in close collaboration
with biological image processing experts of the I3S Laboratory, UCA (MORPHEM
group) and clinical partners, thus providing interdisciplinary training at the
crossroads of ECM biology, computational biology and cancer research.
**Profile** : The candidate is expected to be a creative, quantitatively-
minded biologist (PhD or MD PhD) with a strong background in cell/tissue
imaging. Previous experience in tumor biology and the ECM are an advantage.
Excellent communication skills, both written and oral, are required.
Please send applications (motivation statement, full CV, 2 letters of
recommendation including one from PhD thesis advisor) to: Ellen Van Obberghen-
Schilling ([vanobber@unice.fr](mailto:vanobber@unice.fr)). Further information
is available on the 3iA Côte d’Azur website.

mobilities and/or migration.
We welcome applications from scholars with a commitment to inter-
disciplinarity (including the natural and social sciences), public engagement,
and/or community-based research. Furthermore, we frame a broad reading of
climate change and human mobility within the understanding that for Indigenous
people and other marginalized communities in the Global South displacement and
migration is an amplification of vulnerabilities imposed by colonialism,
racialization and political economic forces. We especially encourage
candidates from Indigenous, racialized and/or Global South communities to
apply.
The successful candidate will contribute to teaching in the Department’s Human
Geography and/or Environment and Sustainability programs, as well as to
departmental and university climate research and climate emergency
initiatives. Preference will be given to candidates who complement and expand
on departmental strengths. Candidates should have demonstrated excellence or
have promise of excellence in research and have a strong commitment to
teaching. The successful candidate will be expected to develop and support a
research program and contribute fully to undergraduate teaching, including
core courses.
The anticipated start date for this position is July 1, 2022. The closing date
for applications is October 1, 2021. Applicants should have a Ph.D. (or
provide solid indication of imminent completion) in geography or a related
field. Applications are to be submitted via this online form:
Applicants should be prepared to upload by the closing deadline of October 1,
2021 in the following order and in a single PDF (maximum size 15MB):
* a letter of application
* a curriculum vitae that lists the names and contact information of three referees
* statements of research and teaching interests
* statement (up to 1 page) identifying your past contributions to equity, diversity and inclusion, along with your ability to work with a culturally diverse student body; as well as your philosophy of, and potential future contributions to equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging at UBC. If appropriate, provide details of how your teaching, service and/or scholarship has supported the success of students from racial, ethnic, and gender backgrounds that are underrepresented in your academic field; applicants who have not yet had the opportunity for such experience should note how their work will further UBC's commitment to diversity.
* a publication sample
* evidence of teaching effectiveness
Only complete applications will be considered by the search committee.
Questions may be directed to the chair of the search committee: Dr. Ian
McKendry [geog.recruitment@ubc.ca](mailto:geog.recruitment@ubc.ca)
This position is subject to final budgetary approval. Salary will be
commensurate with qualifications and experience. For more information about
our department, go to:
Given the uncertainty caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, applicants must
be prepared to conduct interviews remotely if circumstances require. A
successful applicant may be asked to consider an offer containing a deadline
without having been able to make an in-person visit to campus if travel and
other restrictions are still in place.
This posting is for the [UBC Vancouver](https://www.ubc.ca/our-

including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,
racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family
status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous
person.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however Canadians and
permanent residents will be given priority.

PhD in Optimization methods in extremal geometry |
Optimization techniques like linear and semidefinite programming find
applications in many practical fields, but more and more also within
mathematics, for instance as a tool in proving theorems in combinatorics,
geometry, etc.
In this project, you as a PhD student will explore the use of optimization
techniques to tackle problems in extremal geometry such as the sphere-packing
problem, the kissing number problem, and other related questions, which are of
fundamental interest in mathematics. Applications in combinatorics, like flag
algebras, may also be explored.
As the student, you will be supervised by Dr. Fernando M. de Oliveira Filho of
the optimization group at TU Delft. You will have the opportunity to learn a
great deal about modern optimization methods, like semidefinite programming.
You will also be able to learn more about the theory of harmonic analysis and
how it can be leveraged in the application of optimization methods to
geometrical problems.
There is moreover the opportunity to conduct independent research into topics
of your interest. The position also offers generous funds for traveling. |

publications and a motivation letter to either :
[fabian.cadiz@polytechnique.edu](mailto:fabian.cadiz@polytechnique.edu) or
[alistair.rowe@polytechnique.edu](mailto:alistair.rowe@polytechnique.edu)
Assignment
The candidate will join the Electrons-Photons-Surfaces (EPS) group of the LPMC
and will concentrate on the physics of charge and exciton localization induced
by compositional and environmental disorder in novel 2D semiconductor alloys
and their heterostructures. The candidate will have the opportunity to
fabricate van der Waals heterostructures on a variety of substrates, and to
contribute to the installation of a new cryogen-free optical cryostat to be
used with a recently-modernized, double monochromator. It is envisaged that
the candidate will use this approach, in parallel with a novel technique known
as scanning tunnelling luminescence microscopy, to probe localized quasi-
particle states down to the nanoscale. One envisaged research direction is to
use the ability to create layered structures of different thicknesses to study
the evolution of state localization when passing from 2D to 3D. The position
is financed through the Simons Foundation ([Localization of
Waves](https://cse.umn.edu/wave)) and the candidate will interact regularly
with the members of this consortium. The candidate will also have the latitude
to develop their own research activities and as such, the position would suite
someone interested in subsequently applying for a permanent position, either
with the CNRS or at Ecole Polytechnique.
Research activities
The candidate will participate in the research activities of the EPS Group
which focus on the study of the localization of charge carriers by alloy
disorder, crystal defects and dielectric disorder at the atomic scale in
semiconductors. Materials currently of interest include:
\- nitride semiconductors and hetero-structures that constitute the active
part of devices (LEDs, lasers) for lighting. In these devices, the intrinsic
compositional disorder is responsible for potential fluctuations that induce
carrier localization. There is growing evidence that localization effects play
a major role in the device performance. High resolution photo-luminescence
spectroscopy and STL microscopy should permit a study of the influence of
localization on radiative and non-radiative recombination processes.
\- dilute nitrides and hetero-structures where compositional disorder is
accompanied by paramagnetic point defects that result in a strong spin
dependence of non-radiative recombination processes, a phenomenon of interest
for quantum sensing applications.
\- 2D Janus alloys where a combination of intrinsic compositional disorder and
a strong spin-orbit interaction should yield in-plane topological interfaces
which strongly modify charge and spin transport.
Skills
The successful candidate will have a strong background in semiconductor
physics with a Ph.D. level qualification in this or a related area. Prior
experience with low temperature, optical and/or scanning probe techniques
would be a significant advantage. The candidate should be able to provide
proof of his/her ability to formulate a scientific project, and to publish and
promote his/her research. An aptitude for work in a team environment is
considered essential.
Work environment
LPMC is one of 22 laboratories located within Ecole polytechnique’s research
centre, with expertise in the nanosciences and in the physics of disordered
systems. The laboratory has its own mechanical and electronic workshops which
are significant advantages in experimental physics activities like those
proposed here. The candidate will have the opportunity to work with our
collaborators, including those from EPFL (Switzerland), the University of
Melbourne (Australia) and UC Santa Barbara (USA).
The laboratory is jointly run by the CNRS, France’s national scientific body,
and the Ecole Polytechnique. The EPS group is looking to renew its permanent
scientific faculty over the coming years, and as such a successful post-
doctoral scientist should envisage a possible application for tenure with the
CNRS or with Ecole Polytechnique.
Constraints and risks
The post-doctoral scientist will have the opportunity to present his/her
results at both French and international conferences. Periods of travel
within, and outside, France should therefore be envisaged.

Post-doctoral fellow: “Hybrid Nanomaterials for Multimodal Imaging” |
The Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL) of the Foundation for
Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH), in the frame of the project
**“Functional Nanoclusters for Multimodal Imaging of Atherosclerosis”
(LaMiA)** , funded under the “ _Theodore Papazoglou FORTH Synergy Grants”_ ,
is seeking to recruit one (1) post-doctoral researcher.
Job Description
The successful candidate will devise nanochemistry methods for hybrid
nanocrystal cluster structures, where coupled physical responses of plasmonic
and superparamagnetic nature will enable novel contrast agents (CAs) for
biomedical imaging.
The overall study aims at cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which remain the
leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The high mortality is
mainly caused by coronary atherosclerosis and associated stroke. This
emphasizes the need to improve early detection. Since this lipid-driven
disease, results in atherosclerotic plaques on the artery walls, a major
challenge for medical imaging is the development of appropriate CAs, which can
resolve vulnerable plaques. As molecular imaging can detect better via coupled
magneto-plasmonic properties, nanoclusters with efficient bioconjugation will
be developed to target molecular markers resting at early atherosclerotic
lesions and thus assist in therapeutic pathways.
The work is part of collaborative research that combines the know-how of three
groups within FORTH, working in cross-disciplinary fields ([materials
science](https://www.iesl.forth.gr/en/people/lappas-alexandros),
[bioengineering](https://www.iacm.forth.gr/index.php/cb-profile/yannisp) and
[tissue engineering](https://www.iesl.forth.gr/en/people/ranella-anthi)),
aiming to develop a fully characterized new multimodal nanoscale particle
assembly that will serve as contrast agent. The research effort is organized
to facilitate a resource-sharing culture to tackle open questions that will
increase sensitivity and specificity in the early detection of atherosclerotic
lesions by exploiting photoacoustic (PAI) and magnetic (MRI) resonance imaging
techniques. |

Accelerator Physicist for the Elettra 2.0 Project |
**Beamline / Project / Activity description**
In order to allow the laboratory to remain competitive in the next 20 years,
an entirely new source - Elettra 2.0 - belonging to the new generation of
storage rings (DLSR or Diffraction Limited Storage Ring) is being developed.
The new source will exhibit a major increase in the brilliance and coherence
fraction of the photon beams. The Elettra 2.0 optics is based on our enhanced
symmetric six bend achromat structure (S6BA-E) with a 12-fold symmetry and an
emittance of 200 pm-rad at 2.4 GeV. The new structure creates also straight
sections in the arcs permitting the installation of additional insertion
devices, thus increasing the number of beamlines. Existing beamlines will have
to be upgraded and new beamlines developed to take full advantage of the
characteristics of Elettra 2.0. Additionally, three in-vacuum undulators and
two high-field superbends are considered. The new machine is scheduled for
commissioning in the second half of 2026.
**Job description**
Implementation of DLSR presents a series of critical accelerator physics and
technology issues as a result of the reduced dynamic acceptance due to
enhanced nonlinearities. DLSR are extremely sensitive to all sorts of
imperfections and require extensive experimental and numerical studies.
Another aspect is the small vacuum chamber cross section and the strong
magnetic fields as compared with third generation storage rings, which have
implications on collective effects. Furthermore, due to the lack of space,
innovative engineering solutions are needed. The successful candidate will be
a member of the machine physics team and is expected to give important
contributions to all aspects of accelerator physics R&D. In particular, he/she
will contribute to the studies of booster modifications and injection
strategies He/she will be involved in the studies of collective effects in the
new machine, of the impact of the third harmonic cavity and other related
issues. To evaluate their implementation, he/she will also participate in the
related experimental activity on the current Elettra accelerator complex.
The appointment envisioned is a fixed term
contract of 36 months duration. The salary will be commensurate with
previous experience and qualifications of the candidate.
Applications should include full curriculum
vitae and the names and contact information (including e-mail address)
of two professional references. |

In order to allow the laboratory to remain competitive in the next 20 years,
an entirely new source - Elettra 2.0 - belonging to the new generation of
storage rings (DLSR or Diffraction Limited Storage Ring) is being developed.
The new source will exhibit a major increase in the brilliance and coherence
fraction of the photon beams. The Elettra 2.0 optics is based on our enhanced
symmetric six bend achromat structure (S6BA-E) with a 12-fold symmetry and an
emittance of 200 pm-rad at 2.4 GeV. The new structure creates also straight
sections in the arcs permitting the installation of additional insertion
devices, thus increasing the number of beamlines. Existing beamlines will have
to be upgraded and new beamlines developed to take full advantage of the
characteristics of Elettra 2.0. Additionally, three in-vacuum undulators and
two high-field superbends are considered. The new machine is scheduled for
commissioning in the second half of 2026.

PhD Student (Scholarship) in Public Administration or Social Equity |
## Research project on implementing gender and intersectional budgeting in
Belgium and the European Union.
_Members of groups currently underrepresented in academia are encouraged to
apply, with reasonable accommodation for disability or caring
responsibilities, among other concerns._
The main aims of the project include:
* establishing best practice for gender and intersectional budgeting, including tools for civil servants and government agencies; and
* devising multi-dimensional measures of progress and outcomes.
### Summary of the research project:
Gender and intersectional budgeting is about the state using its financial
resources and fiscal policy settings to reduce social inequalities and to
achieve equality in the broadest possible terms, albeit cognisant that
analysis based solely or mainly on general demographic categories can
marginalise many citizens. Starting in Australia in the 1980s, gender
budgeting in some form has now been implemented in over 80 countries (Stotsky,
2016), while intersectional considerations are becoming more common. Over the
last few decades the principal focus has been on gender, but increasingly
multiple, concurrent, and intersecting inequalities and power imbalances are
being considered, related but not limited to race, class, gender identity,
sexuality, ethnicity, First Nations and Indigenous personhood, disability,
age, religion, language, region, and parental status.
There are several approaches from ensuring that the government’s annual budget
is allocating resources equitably among all citizens and that the impacts of
taxation and related measures are fair to more interventionist strategies in
targeting the use of tax and spending powers in order to correct underlying
structural disparities (see Elson 2004). It is also important to consider the
life course and how choices made under poorer previous or current
circumstances impact future prospects, as well as changing memberships of
different households over time (Himmelweit, 2005).
Within government, gender equality is not necessarily effectively
conceptualised and 50 percent for women is used as a default outcome
objective, along with other superficial goals due to deficiencies in
organisational knowledge and competence, and the absence of a direct link
between budget numbers and equity objectives (Quinn, 2016; Klatzer et al.,
2018). Intersectionality is not currently well-understood within the civil
service (as shown in Canadian research, which is currently the only civil
service with a comprehensive approach, Gender-Based Analysis Plus). A major
barrier to fully realising gender and intersectional budgeting remains the
quality, availability, and appropriateness of data and more qualitative
methods and outcomes are also needed.
The Belgian case will proceed from the introduction of the Gender
Mainstreaming Act in 2007. Ministries are identifying gender impacts and
effects of budgetary, legislative and regulatory measures, assisted by an
interdepartmental coordination group. The second case will focus on the
European Union (EU). The EU is pursuing a ‘gender-aware policy appraisal’ as a
possible first stage towards introducing gender budgeting, and is considering
other characteristics such as age, socioeconomic situation, disability, race,
ethnicity, religion, and rural or urban location.
Key questions include:
* how can intersectionality, as well as non-binary conceptions of gender, be represented statistically?
* is greater diversity and inclusion within the civil service associated with more effective implementation of gender and intersectional budgeting?
* how do individual agencies translate central or whole-of-government mandates? and
* does Belgium’s federal structure facilitate or inhibit (and to what degrees) policy experimentation, coordination, and learning, including relations with the EU?
The research methods include interviews with civil servants and documentary
analysis of policy papers, legislation, and budgets.
### Job offer:
* Two-year full-time research activity initially (100%, 24 months) and a further two years of full-time funded research activity planned (100% for a total of 48 months);
* The proposed starting date is 1 October 2021 or soon thereafter (it might be possible to delay the starting date to 2022);
* The project is based at the Louvain-la-Nueve campus of UCLouvain (but subject to negotiation, it might be possible to do some work at the Mons campus), with fieldwork in Brussels and other parts of Belgium;
* Academic supervision and mentoring to complete a PhD thesis;
* Management of interactions with the public organisations involved in collaborative activities;
* Participation in the project design, data collection and analysis, and the dissemination of research outcomes; and
* Participation in the activities of the Centre and Institute. |

Research support engineer - Atmospheric composition data curation (RE1) |
**Context And Mission**
Within the Earth Sciences Department of Barcelona Supercomputing Center, the
Atmospheric Composition (AC) group aims at better understanding and predicting
the spatiotemporal variations of atmospheric pollutants along with their
effects upon air quality, weather and climate. The AC group develops the
Multiscale Online Non-hydrostatic AtmospheRe CHemistry model (MONARCH).
MONARCH contains advanced chemistry and aerosol packages, and is coupled
online with the Non-hydrostatic Multiscale Model (NMMB), which allows for
running either global or high-resolution (convection-allowing) regional
simulations, and is coupled with an aerosol data assimilation system based on
the Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter. The group contributes to a variety
of forecasting activities. The dust component of MONARCH runs operationally at
the first WMO Regional Specialized Meteorological Center for Atmospheric Sand
and Dust Forecast (i.e., the Barcelona Dust Forecast Center, BDFC), and
contributes to multi-model ensemble forecasts both at the WMO Sand and Dust
Storm Warning Advisory and Assessment System Regional Center (WMO SDS-WAS RC)
for Northern Africa, the Middle East and Europe, and the International
Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction (ICAP). Both WMO Regional Centers are co-
hosted by BSC and the Spanish Meteorological Agency (AEMET). The group also
develops and maintains the CALIOPE air quality system (“CALIdad del aire
Operacional Para España”), which provides high-resolution air quality
forecasts over Europe and Spain using the in-house emission model HERMESv3.
The AC group searches for one junior research support engineer willing to work
on the data curation process of the group data archive. The models and
forecasts are enhanced by an intensive use of up-to-date observations, both
for model evaluation and to feed the aerosol ensemble-based data assimilation
system. The position will support systematic and detailed maintenance of the
data used/produced by the group. The successful applicant will work closely
with researchers of the group and research scientists from the Computational
Earth Sciences group and collaborate in ongoing projects. Support in the
execution and monitoring of experiments intensive in data production is also
expected.
**Key Duties**
* Data curation of a wide range of observational datasets, model reanalysis products and model experiment results
* Apply existent solutions or program automated procedures to detect missing files, variables, layers, timeframes, or corrupted data
* Analyze datasets by means of computed standardized diagnostics
* Support researchers in the execution and monitoring of complex model experiments (ensemble data assimilation runs)
* Close collaboration with research engineers of the Department to apply in-house solution in the data curation process
* Interact with atmospheric composition scientists to understand and respond to their needs |

PhD Position: BIOBEHAVIOURAL SYNCHRONY IN PREMATURELY BORN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN:
IMPACT ON SOCIO-AFFECTIVE AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT |
From the very start of life, children grow up in close physical proximity with
their caregivers. As a result of this social and bodily embeddedness,
biological and behavioural processes become entrained and coordinated with the
interacting partner (i.e. biobehavioural synchrony), preparing the child to
live in social groups. Recent technological advances allow us now to quantify
this social attunement in real-life interactions, by simultaneously recording
multiple biobehavioural signals from multiple partners and investigating how
these co-fluctuate (i.e. via dual recordings of EEG, stress physiology, eye-
tracking, facial dynamics, behaviour, etc). Here, for the first time, we will
apply these cutting-edge new methods to understand atypical development. We
will focus on a cohort of prematurely born preschool children, known to be at
risk for atypical socio-emotional and cognitive development. This particular
cohort has already been studied from birth onwards, yielding a unique
longitudinal database of medical, physiological, psychological and
endocrinological parameters of both child and parents. At the age of five, we
will assess biobehavioural synchrony across multiple contexts (including
naturalistic home recordings) and multiple interaction constellations. We will
investigate how individual parent and child characteristics determine the
quality of dual biobehavioural synchrony, and how these jointly impact on
typical and atypical socio-emotional and cognitive development. Integration of
these new longitudinal data with the early-life data will allow us to model

Post-doctoral fellowship in Segmentation and analysis of 3D topographic data
in the context of natural hazards |
The Department of Geosciences at the University of Rennes 1 seeks to hire a
high-level postdoctoral fellow in 3D topographic data analysis applied to
Earth Sciences in the framework of the ERC FEASIBLe project
(). The successful candidate will 1)
contribute to the acquisition of new Lidar/SFM data of mountain landscapes
(e.g., rivers, hillslopes, sediment deposits) in France and New-Zealand, 2)
support the development and use of automated segmentation algorithms applied
to massive 3D point clouds to detect topographic objects (e.g. landslides,
fractures, grains – see figure above) and 3) lead the quantitative analysis of
3D point clouds to characterize the geometry and spatial organization of the
segmented objects and their population. This research activity will focus on
geomorphological systems impacted by natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes,
typhoons...). The candidate will work in collaboration with members of the ERC
project, including Philippe Steer, Dimitri Lague and Laure Guerit, specialized
in geomorphology, extreme events, landscape evolution numerical modelling and
Lidar/SFM data analysis (e.g., change detection, classification). Applications
include the automated segmentation, classification and analysis of sediment
grains, landslides, and fractures from 3D point clouds for which the very
large range of scales challenges traditional approaches. The already existing
and newly developed algorithms will be applied to 3D datasets acquired in the
context of the ERC, and validated against hand-made measurements (e.g., grain-
size measurements). The project is part of a larger effort to extract
information on the heterogeneity of geomorphological systems and understanding
and modelling its role in the dynamics of landscapes. |

Postdoctoral opportunity on the real-time deterministic wave prediction
applied to floating wind turbines. |
**Context**
Centrale Nantes has a new postdoctoral position available within the framework
of two funded projects: EU (H2020) FLOATECH and French (ANR) CREATIF. Both
those collaborative projects aim at increasing the technical maturity and the
cost competitiveness of floating offshore wind energy. Among the different
objectives, a numerical tool will be developed to predict in real-time the
wave field from a set of measurements.
Within this project, Centrale Nantes is seeking a person to work on the
enhancement of the numerical efficiency of a recently developed wave
prediction algorithm [1]. The procedure relies on i) the spatio-temporal
optical measurement of the free surface (using LIDAR pointing toward incoming
waves), ii) a data-assimilation procedure and iii) the wave propagation up to
the location of the floating wind turbine. With the final objective of using
this algorithm in operating conditions on real wind turbines, it needs to
operate faster than physical time (allowing control strategies of wind turbine
for instance).
**Work description**
Phase-resolved wave prediction is an active research topic in recent years. At
Centrale Nantes, earlier works [1, 2, 3] conducted by the implied research
team focused on defining the relevant wave model to achieve a given level of
accuracy for a target prediction horizon.
To date, the physical wave models are mastered and implemented. The complete
problem is consequently accurately formulated with an existing implementation
of the whole prediction procedure (written in Python). The remaining
bottleneck toward practical application is the computational effort that
should be enhanced during the proposed research work.
This project is initially planned through different tasks that may be adjusted
regarding the evolution of the research activities.
* Development of efficient solutions of the linear inverse problem
This task is the central part of the project. The wave prediction algorithm,
after data assimilation procedure and the use of relevant wave propagation
models, reduces to a least squares problem. In practical applications (due to
spatial distribution of measurements, noise, etc.), it appears necessary to
regularize the problem, which is then solved in the present implementation
thanks to Singular Value Decomposition.
The successful candidate will propose, implement and test the efficiency of
alternative numerical methods for the solution of this linear discrete inverse
problem in the present numerical code. The objective is to compare the
efficiency and robustness of the different numerical strategies with the
constraints associated to the application targeted.
* Development of a real-time wave prediction simulation tool
This task intends to develop the final real-time numerical model, porting the
actual Python implementation toward relevant programming language (Fortran,
C++, etc.) if necessary. The implementation and developments will be carried
out in a collaborative development environment (GitLab). This task will
include a demonstrative example of the real-time efficiency of the wave
prediction algorithm. This will use synthetic wave data representing possible
measurements at sea in the case of unidirectional waves. The objective is to
mimic realistic configurations for offshore wind turbines (amount of data,
time scales involved, etc.). Once real-time is successfully achieved and
demonstrated, the performance for multidirectional waves will be investigated
and the possible bottlenecks identified.
* Application of the simulation tool to model-scale experiments
The funding projects include several other actions, including tests at model-
scale that will be conducted in the experimental facilities of Centrale Nantes
(ocean wave tank: 50m*30m*5m). Depending on the qualifications of the chosen
candidate as well as the time-frame of the work conducted, participation to
those experiments is possible.
This will at least involve the application of the real-time prediction model
to the wave-basin experiments. Experimental free surface measurements will be
used to predict the wave field propagating on the model-scale offshore wind
turbine.
According to the progress of the work, the postdoctoral researcher will be
able to work on complementary tasks relevant with his background. For
instance: extension of the simulation tool to directional wave fields,
application of data-driven strategies to the wave-prediction, inclusion of
floating wind-turbine motions to the measurements, etc.
The position is available for 18 months, with renewal for additional 18 months
upon performance and funding.
**Technical skills and knowledge**
Required qualifications are related to:
* PhD in Applied Mathematics or relevant field of engineering such as Fluid Dynamics,
* Inverse Problems, Signal Processing, etc.
* Experience in scientific computing and numerical analysis
* Proficiency in a scientific language: Python, Fortran, C++
* Previous experience in development in a shared environment would be appreciated
* Interest in ocean engineering problems
* Knowledge of the marine environment appreciated
**Personal qualities:**
* Autonomous and dynamic
* Ability to interact with researchers working on numerous and varied research topics

PostDoc Position in Host-Pathogen-Interactions |
**_Project_ :** The bacterium _Chlamydia trachomatis_ is a prevalent agent of
sexually-transmitted and ocular diseases and as such a frequent cause of
adverse pregnancy outcomes, infertility and visual impairment. Its obligate
intracellular lifestyle and unique developmental biology makes the pathogen an
exceptionally interesting model system for identifying novel molecular and
cellular mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction and cell-autonomous immunity.
Our lab has previously completed a genetic screen that identified host
cellular processes essential for intracellular bacterial growth. **We now seek
to complement our team with an outstanding postdoctoral researcher, who will
use cell culture infection models to conduct an in-depth investigation of the
mechanistic basis underlying these host-pathogen interactions.**
**_Environment_ : **Our lab (the Sixt Lab) is part of the **** Laboratory for
Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) at Umeå University (located in
Umeå, Sweden). MIMS in turn is part of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for
Molecular Medicine and the Umeå Centre for Microbial Research (UCMR), hence
providing a stimulating, collaborative, and highly international environment
with excellent access to modern research facilities. The city Umeå itself
combines a rich cultural life with exceptional closeness to nature and is
particularly welcoming to internationals.
**_Qualifications_ :** Candidates must hold a university degree equivalent to
a European University PhD degree in molecular biology, cell biology, or
infection biology (or equivalent fields) at the time of the recruitment. To be
eligible, applicants must have completed their PhD degree a maximum of three
years ago, unless special circumstances exist. Candidates must have previous
research experience in the field of host-pathogen interactions and/or human
cell biology and must have experience in working with human cell cultures and
bacterial pathogens. Moreover, previous experience in molecular genetic
manipulation of human cells and bacteria, as well as with techniques commonly
applied to study infection and host cellular responses (e.g. fluorescence
microscopy, flow cytometry, qPCR, western blot) is highly beneficial.
Candidates should be passionate about science, willing to take on scientific
challenges, and committed to highest quality research. Candidates are expected
to be proficient in written and spoken English, to work as part of an
interactive team, to participate in the mentoring of less experienced team
members, and in particular to have the capacity to individually develop and
drive a research project.

PhD : Polarisation processes in helium gas discharges at high magnetic field |
**Polarisation processes in helium gas discharges at high magnetic field**
* **PhD position: 3-year contract (CNRS, FTC PhD student)**
* **Contract period: 36 months**
* **Start date: As soon as possible during fall 2021**
* **Laboratoire Kastler Brossel** (ENS-PSL/CNRS/Sorbonne U./ Coll. de France) **, Paris 05, France**
* **Context: ANR-funded collaborative research project**
We are looking for a PhD student who will actively contribute to a research
project called HELPING (High field Enhancement of nucLear Polarisation In
Noble Gases), jointly carried out by the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel and the
LSDM laboratory at NIMBE in CEA Saclay (see "Work place and environment",
below).
[HELPING](http://www.lkb.upmc.fr/polarisedhelium/polarised-helium-and-quantum-
fluids/helping-project/) aims at the development of innovative schemes for
hyperpolarisation of noble gases at high magnetic field strength. It primarily
targets the nuclear-spin-1/2 isotopes (3He and 129Xe), involved in a variety
of basic or applied physics experiments, as well as in NMR-based studies in
chemistry, material sciences, biology, or medicine. Physicists and NMR
specialists will explore, experimentally and theoretically, new frontiers in
laser optical pumping (OP) in alkali vapours (spin exchange OP, SEOP) and in
helium gas discharges (metastability exchange OP, MEOP). They also plan on a
detailed study of PAMP, a laser-free scheme recently discovered for 3He
(Polarisation of Atoms in a Magnetised Plasma). A super-wide bore NMR
spectrometer/imager, located at CEA Saclay, will host experimental devices for
in-depth studies up to 7 T as well as proofs of concept NMR measurements with
hyperpolarised 129Xe (study of porous materials) and with 3He (magnetometry).
**Your activities**
PhD work will focus on hyperpolarisation processes in He gas discharges, MEOP
and PAMP. It will include in-depth experimental, numerical, and theoretical,
investigations of 3He hyperpolarisation dynamics at high field. Measurements
will involve laser absorption spectroscopy as well as optical and NMR
polarimetry. They will be performed in pure 3He gas samples, will be extended
to isotopic 3He-4He gas mixtures. Additional tests at low temperature or with
other odd nuclei are planned. New features are expected, owing to field-
dependent atomic level structures, collisional interactions, and nuclear
relaxation processes. Suitable rate equations models will be developed to
account for all findings and to make reliable predictions in other operating
conditions.
The expected outcomes of this work (improved understanding of MEOP, pioneering
analysis of PAMP mechanism, and assessment of the potential limits of both
schemes at high field) should provide a solid ground for development of new
strategies and devices for efficient hyperpolarisation and delivery of He gas.
Demonstration of significant boosts in nuclear polarisation and, hence, in
detection sensitivity may trigger new advances in science and applications.
**Work place and environment**
The 'Polarised Helium' host team pursues research at LKB in the ENS Physics
Department, dealing with the physics of noble gas hyperpolarisation, the use
of hyperpolarised gases for a variety of applications, and unconventional
tools or strategies for low-field NMR and MRI. Details on activities and
collaborations can be found on the team's homepage:
.
The host laboratory, LKB ([Laboratoire Kastler
Brossel](http://www.lkb.upmc.fr/), UMR 8552) ranks among worldwide leaders in
the domain of quantum physics and excels in the use of light as a tool to
probe and control atoms (3 Nobel prizes). It contributes to the advance of
fundamental knowledge and applications through a variety of research
activities dealing with ultra-cold gases, quantum optics and information,
atoms and light in complex media, tests of fundamental interactions, and
metrology.
Please note that part of the work (measurements in a 7-T NMR instrument) will
be completed at CEA Saclay, in the [LSDM
laboratory](https://iramis.cea.fr/en/Phocea/Vie_des_labos/Ast/ast_groupe.php?id_groupe=448)
("Structure and Dynamics by Magnetic Resonance" Lab.) of the NIMBE research
unit ("Nanosciences and Innovation for Materials, Biomedicine, and Energy",
UMR 3685), next to Paris. |

Experimental study of thermal boundary resistances by an electrothermal method
and scanning thermal microscopy |
The PhD thesis will be carried out in the "Micro and Nanoscale Heat Transfer"
(MiNT) team at the Centre for Energy and Thermal Science of Lyon (CETHIL), on
the La Doua-LyonTech campus in Villeurbanne. The MiNT team, made up of around
fifteen people including 5 permanent researchers and faculties, is a pioneer
for thermal AFM microscopy at European and global levels.
Controlling temperature is essential in many areas. Temperature governs
biological processes or the efficiency of chemical reactions, and also impacts
the reliability of materials, the stability of mechanical structures or the
lifespan of electronic devices. To avoid overheating, it is therefore key to
manage heat dissipation as best as possible. This requires a detailed analysis
of the phenomena that limit the heat flow, especially near heat sources. Among
these phenomena, thermal boundary resistances, present at the contact between
materials, have been identified as particularly problematic. The transfer of
heat through the contact between two different materials, even when adhesion
is ideal, is indeed never perfect. Unfortunately, it is very often necessary
to assemble different materials to obtain a particular technological
application, so such resistance seems unavoidable at first sight.
Controlling the heat flow through the interface could allow for more dynamic
management of heat exchanges. This is possible for metal-semiconductor
contacts, also called Schottky contacts (this is for example the case of an
interface between gold and silicon) [1]. Indeed, one of the materials can be
polarized by applying of a voltage. This should modify the energy diagram
around the contact, and therefore modify the apparent contact thermal
resistance. However, this effect has not been studied until now, because the
simultaneous investigation of the electrical and thermal properties around an
interface is not easy. Understanding the phenomena is also a challenge since
heat transfer involves different energy carriers: electrons and phonons (waves
in the crystal).
This PhD thesis work, which is part of a national project involving several
laboratories, aims to characterize these metal-conductor interfaces by two
thermal measurement techniques based on resistive thermometry. The first one
is the 3omega method [2], which allows measurements over large temperature
ranges but is not spatially resolved. It requires the use of cryogenics. The
second technique, where the thermal sensor is located at the apex of a tip, is
based on atomic force microscopy (AFM): it is termed scanning thermal
microscopy (SThM). It allows to study the properties thermal with a spatial
resolution of the order of 100 nm, but can be carried out only at ambient
temperature [3]. The interest of the project lies in the possibility of
performing measurements on the cross section of the device.
This work requires some design work for the structures and post-processing
steps using softwares in order to perform a "virtual experiment", where all
elements of the experiment, including the measurement sensor, are simulated in
3D [4]. Numerical calculations using the Boltzmann transport equation, which
governs electrical and thermal transport in thin films, may also be performed.

Experimental study of energy harvesting in near-field configurations |
The PhD thesis will be carried out in the " Micro and Nanoscale Heat Transfer"
(MiNT) team at the Centre for Energy and Thermal Science of Lyon (CETHIL), on
the La Doua-LyonTech campus in Villeurbanne. The MiNT team, made up of around
fifteen people including 5 permanent researchers and faculties, is a pioneer
for thermal AFM microscopy at European and global levels.
The recovery of waste heat and its conversion into electrical energy is a
means of limiting greenhouse gas emissions. Different possibilities allow this
conversion, depending on the temperature of the hot source and the dimensions
of the planned installations. One of them is thermophotovoltaic conversion,
where thermal energy is harvested by harnessing thermal radiation from the hot
source and the conversion is performed by photovoltaics, with dedicated cells
in the infrared [1].
The Micro and Nanoscale Heat Transfer (MiNT) group at CETHIL has shown
theoretically [2] and has recently experimentally demonstrated that the
performance of thermophotovoltaic devices is greatly improved when the
distance between the radiative source and the photovoltaic cell is reduced to
reach the so-called 'near field' regime. One of the key points is to match the
spectrum of thermal radiation emitted by the source to that which can be
converted by the cell [3,4].
This PhD thesis project, which is essentially experimental, will consist in
further developing the current experiment, which is based on atomic force
microscopy (AFM) and a spherical emitter of micrometric size, in order to
demonstrate the numerous advantages of 'near field' for materials
characterization and energy harvesting – as well as its potential for local
refrigeration.
One of the possible improvements is to design a "thermophotonic" converter,
where the spectrum of the radiation emitted is controlled electrically like in
a light-emitting diode (LED) and is no longer fixed, unlike the
thermophotovoltaic case. Near-field thermal radiation experiments, near-field
thermophotovoltaic and thermophotonic conversions are planned.

Numerical study of optimized photonic architectures for thermophotonic energy
conversion |
The PhD thesis will be carried out in the "Micro and Nanoscale Heat Transfer"
(MiNT) team at the Centre for Energy and Thermal Science of Lyon (CETHIL), on
the La Doua-LyonTech campus in Villeurbanne. The MiNT team, made up of around
fifteen people including 5 permanent researchers and faculties, is expert in
thermal radiation of nanostructures.
Converting heat into electricity is one way to recover energy from the
surrounding environment, which is seen as a promising way to limit greenhouse
gas emissions. Conversely, it is also possible to cool a medium by applying a
voltage to its ends. The main way to perform these operations is
thermoelectric conversion, which takes place in a solid material.
Unfortunately, thermoelectric conversion is inefficient near room temperature.
An alternative is thermophotonic conversion [1], which involves two
optoelectronic elements separated by vacuum. One of these elements can be
assimilated to a light-emitting diode (LED), which amplifies the emission of
light from a surface for certain wavelengths, and the other to a photovoltaic
cell (PV), which absorbs light for certain wavelengths. By appropriately
designing the system, a transfer of radiative energy from the first medium to
the second one takes place, which cools the first medium and heats the second
one while limiting the required electrical power. Theoretical studies indicate
that this type of system could be very efficient for temperature differences
of 100 K around room temperature.
The Micro and Nanoscale Heat Transfer (MiNT) team at CETHIL has demonstrated
theoretically [2] and experimentally that the performance of similar radiative
devices (thermophotovoltaic converters [3]) is greatly improved when the
distance between the radiative source and the photovoltaic cell is reduced in
order to reach the so-called 'near-field' regime; this increase is due to wave
tunneling. One of the key points is to match the spectrum of thermal radiation
emitted by the source to that which can be converted by the cell [4,5].
Interestingly, another work has showed that cooling with near-field
configurations is now possible [6].
This PhD thesis project will require mostly numerical and theoretical work. It
will consist in understanding and optimizing the radiative transfer modes of a
device made of an LED coupled with a PV cell to maximize its cooling
capabilities by changing optical, geometrical and electrical properties. The
work will focus on understanding the physical mechanism and finding new
photonic structures enabling a better control of the radiative coupling
between the LED and the PV cell. In particular, we will study the possibility
to provide spatial control of cooling. This would allow to generate 'cool
spots' or avoid the presence of 'hot spots' on surfaces, which are known to be
detrimental to the operation of numerous devices, especially in electronics.
The thermophotonic refrigeration application, attractive to quantum

Experimental study of thermophotonic energy conversion |
The PhD thesis will be carried out in the "Micro and Nanoscale Heat Transfer"
(MiNT) team at the Centre for Energy and Thermal Science of Lyon (CETHIL), on
the La Doua-LyonTech campus in Villeurbanne. The MiNT team, made up of around
fifteen people including 5 permanent researchers and faculties, is a pioneer
for thermal AFM microscopy at European and global levels.
Converting heat into electricity is one way to recover energy from the
surrounding environment, which is seen as a promising way to limit greenhouse
gas emissions. Conversely, it is also possible to locally cool a medium by
applying a voltage to its ends. The main way to perform these operations is
thermoelectric conversion, which takes place in a solid material.
Unfortunately, thermoelectric conversion is inefficient near room temperature.
An alternative is thermophotonic conversion [1], which involves two
optoelectronic elements separated by vacuum. One of these elements can be
assimilated to a light-emitting diode (LED), which amplifies the emission of
light from a surface for certain wavelengths, and the other to a photovoltaic
cell (PV), which absorbs light for certain wavelengths. By appropriately
designing the system, a transfer of radiative energy from the first medium to
the second one takes place, which cools the first medium and heats the second
one while limiting the required electrical power. Theoretical studies indicate
that this type of system could be very efficient for temperature differences
of 100 K around room temperature.
The Micro and Nanoscale Heat Transfer (MiNT) team at CETHIL has demonstrated
theoretically [2] and experimentally that the performance of similar radiative
devices (thermophotovoltaic converters [3]) is greatly improved when the
distance between the radiative source and the photovoltaic cell is reduced in
order to reach the so-called 'near-field' regime; this increase is due to wave
tunneling. One of the key points is to match the spectrum of thermal radiation
emitted by the source to that which can be converted by the cell [4,5]. This
demonstration was carried out in a simplified academic case with a
microsphere.
This PhD thesis project, which is essentially experimental, consists in
designing a more realistic configuration for applications, with two plane
surfaces facing each other. The thermophotonic energy recovery application and
the refrigeration application, attractive to quantum technologies that operate
at low temperatures, will be tested in the near field. An operational system
outside the laboratory could be considered.

postdoctoral researcher in experimental fluid mechanics and interfacial
phenomena |
* Improve the existing setup that tunes the effective gravity applied on soap films.
* Make thickness measurements on soap films with optical methods.
* Study systematically the effect of parameters on the thinning rate of the films and on the onset of instabilities
* Analyze images and compare experimental data with models
* Go on mission to partners (IPR Rennes, LPS Orsay) as part of a skills transfer.
The postdoctoral researcher will develop an experimental activity in fluid
mechanics and interfacial phenomena in order to study the flow and
hydrodynamic instabilities inside soap films.
Liquid foams are materials whose mechanical properties are widely used in
industry. These properties are closely related to those of the soap films they
contain. The rearrangement of the liquid inside these films under the effect
of an external stress such as gravity is therefore crucial to understand foam
stability. However, understanding the flow properties inside the micron-thick
soap films is a complicated task: the flow is rarely homogeneous and laminar
but is often turbulent and composed of thin film patches rising inside thicker
film portions. The postdoctoral researcher will study the instability leading
to the formation of the thin patches and the coupling with the properties of
the interface covered with surfactants.
This position is part of the DRAINFILM project funded by the French National
Research Agency within a consortium of three institutes. The candidate will be
integrated in the Complex Fluids team of the Institut de Physique de Nice. The
work will be carried out in close collaboration with the Institut de Physique
de Rennes (I. Cantat's group) and the Laboratoire de Physique du Solide in
Orsay (E. Rio's group). The complete summary of the project can be consulted :

Thesis in organic and medicinal chemistry M/F |
The Institute of Chemistry of Natural Substances is a CNRS Research Unit whose
research areas are chemistry and biology. It is part of the Université Paris-
Saclay which, since 2015, groups together the research and teaching
establishments of the south of Paris. The ICSN is located on the Gif-sur-
Yvette campus and has about 125 staff members, including 60 permanent staff
members, spread over 3 buildings.
Within the "Chemical Biology" Department, the recruited agent will join the
"Probes and Modulators for Biological Targets" team composed of 8 researchers
and 4 CDD/doctoral students. He/she will be placed under the hierarchical
authority of the team leader. He/she will work directly with the team leader,
as well as in collaboration with the other members of the team
The mitochondria have become an important therapeutic target in recent years.
This organelle of eukaryotic cells plays a fundamental role in the cell's
energy production. The disorders that may occur within it have been linked to
a wide variety of pathologies such as neurodegenerative, metabolic,
cardiovascular, cancer and rare mitochondrial diseases. Thus, since the end of
the 80's, different vectorization strategies have been developed, allowing the
transportation of active substances inside the mitochondria. They are based on
a non-cleavable covalent association between a drug and a specific chemical
function called mitochondrial vector. The growing number of molecules acting
on mitochondrial function currently in clinical trials or on the market
testifies to the importance of this issue.
The "MitoRedAct" project (ANR - JCJC grant) aims at using mitochondrial
enzymatic activities for the activation of so-called "mitotargeted" pro-drugs.
The aim of this project is to design and apply strategies for the chemical
functionalization of small molecules that will allow their transportation and
then their selective release inside the mitochondria. For this purpose,
tripartite prodrugs (molecular architecture composed of three members)
including an enzymatically activatable trigger, a mitochondrial vector, and a
drug will be designed and synthesized.
The ANR-funded MitoRedAct project is a medicinal chemistry project that is
designed around two main parts.
Part 1 aims at the design and synthesis of self immolative linkers for the
construction of mitotargeted pro-drugs that can be activated by an enzyme
whose activity in mitochondria has already been demonstrated. They should
allow the delivery and release of a wide variety of molecules of therapeutic
interest inside the mitochondria. This study will be carried out in
collaboration with a team of researchers from the Institut Bio Integrative de
la cellule (I2BC) specialized in the biogenesis of the OXPHOS complex of the
mitochondria.
Part 2 will focus on finding new intra-mitochondrial enzymatic activities that
can be used as alternatives. This will allow to diversify the range of
mitotargeted pro-drugs. For this purpose, fluorogenic mitotargeted probes will
be designed, synthesized and tested in vitro and in cellulo. These probes,
whose fluorogenic behavior will be induced by the targeted enzymatic activity,
will be of the intensiometric "OFF-ON" and/or ratiometric type in order to
visualize their activation in cellulo. The validation of these probes will be
done in collaboration with the engineers of the ImagerieGif platform in
confocal fluorescence microscopy in order to confirm the intra-mitochondrial
character of the enzymatic activation.

PhD Position Smart and Circular Port Maintenance Strategies – Quantifying
Trade-offs between Sediment Dynamics, Port Processes and Dredging |
Navigation in ports, canals and waterways must be safeguarded by maintenance
dredging to remove sediments deposited by tide, river flows and currents.
Maintenance dredging of sediment deposits form a significant part of a ports
operational expenses. As it must be done on a regular basis it pays off to
look for ways to optimise port accessibility strategies.
Port accessibility involves combining data sources, policies and inputs
providing practical answers to the following questions:
* What kind of vessels are expected to call upon (a given part of) the port, what are their key features to consider for depth strategies (accommodate maximum draught, accommodate X % of the observed actual draughts, required under keel clearance, etc.)?
* To what extent does the route into the port towards a berth contain access limiting features (UKC policies, depth limitations, current limitations, access channels, turning basins, berths, etc.)?
* Which natural processes should be taken into account for optimizing port processes?
* What strategies are available to guarantee a pre-determined level of accessibility (dredging, sailing through mud, implementation of sedimentation basins, etc.)?
Operating within a clear overall vision is important, to make sure that the
combination of individual measures still makes sense for the port as a whole.
While optimising one feature, other features may inadvertently be affected.
Optimising on dredging costs, might result in greater terminal downtime.
Creating over-depth to increase the interval between dredging campaigns, might
result in higher sedimentation rates. Implementing ‘sailing through fluid mud’
strategies will reduce the dredging related energy footprint, but might
increase the vessel manoeuvring related energy footprint, etc.
The main objective of this research is to develop a general methodology for
evaluating the trade-offs of port accessibility and maintenance in order to
facilitate the associated decision-making processes in ports worldwide. To
promote worldwide applicability this project will link port logistic concepts
(using general applicable agent based models), on the one hand, with
maintenance logistic strategies that are rooted in scientific knowledge of
hydro- and sediment dynamics, on the other hand. By linking these two in an
integral decision framework port managers should be able to make better
informed decisions on port maintenance, balancing aspects like capacity and
efficiency, as well as sustainability, and safety.
Foreseen outcomes of this study are:
* A general methodology for evaluating the trade-offs of alternative port accessibility and maintenance options demonstrated to at least two large ports;
* New scientific knowledge to quantify a number of the key trade-offs that are part of this general method;
* Field and lab scientific data sets that are specifically collected to underpin the two aforementioned outcomes. |

remote sensing of the atmosphere, sea surface and soil moisture.
This research is carried out by a team, currently consisting of several PhD-
students and senior staff-members of the Department of Geoscience and Remote
Sensing, at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of Delft
University of Technology.
The team is to be completed by a PostDoc-researcher. In this position you will
focus on developing algorithms to exploit signals from existing and future
GNSS constellations as well as signals of opportunity from communication
systems. This will further advance the use of GNSS in environments and/or
applications with stringent user requirements and/or adverse signal reception
conditions. Candidates are required to have a strong background in
mathematical statistics, signal processing and GNSS. |

PhD position on constraining the maximum earthquake magnitude in Groningen
using 3D multi-physics, data-driven modelling (4 years) |
[The Department of Earth Sciences](https://www.uu.nl/en/research/department-
of-earth-sciences) is now looking for a highly-motivated, high-potential
applicant to fill a PhD position on constraining the maximum earthquake
magnitude in Groningen using 3D multi-physics, data-driven modelling (4
years).
The seismic hazard due to induced seismicity in the Groningen gas field (the
Netherlands) is largely determined by the maximum earthquake magnitude (Mmax)
and the likelihood of its scenarios. Mmax is thus critical for political
decision-making and hazard perception by society. Current Mmax estimates are
determined using extrapolations from observed small earthquakes using event-
based statistics and expert judgement. A physical basis is thus largely
missing. Such a physical component is consistently challenging to include in
any probabilistic seismic hazard assessments (PSHA) due to very high demands
on computational costs. Particularly, the challenge in Groningen is to include
the key physical processes on a particularly complex network of many, curved
and intersecting faults. The PhD candidate will utilise recent advances in
several computational communities to advance physics-based PSHA and provide
physics-based estimates of Mmax in Groningen.
The PhD candidate will develop a 3D multi-physics, data-driven framework
through linking two existing state-of-the-art methods and adding a third,
novel semi-analytical model that will be further developed. First,
probabilistic fault stresses will be provided by a semi-analytical reservoir
simulator MACRIS . These fault stresses will take into account improved
geometries of the Groningen faults and the production history of the field.
Subsequently, these pre-earthquake fault stresses, along with friction
parameters derived in the laboratory in Utrecht on Groningen rocks, will be
exported to 3D dynamic earthquake rupture simulations powered by High
Performance Computing in [SeisSol](http://www.seissol.org/) . Third, these
dynamic simulations will serve to validate and extend a semi-analytical model
based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) theory for straight faults
to complex fault geometries. This theory allows for a fast and probabilistic
assessment of the likelihood of different Mmax scenarios across the field,
while accounting for key uncertainties. The aim is that the results of this
PhD project will be embedded in the Groningen risk assessment framework housed
at the Geological Survey of the Netherlands (TNO). In the future, this new
physical framework may also be of great value in determining the earthquake
risk for induced and natural earthquakes in the Netherlands and worldwide.
This could thus provide an important contribution in allowing for a safe and
sustainable usage of the subsurface to facilitate our society’s transition to
sustainable energy. The project can therefore serve as a stepping stone for a
career in fundamental earthquake physics or various societally and
economically relevant industries.
This project is part of
[DeepNL](https://www.nwo.nl/en/researchprogrammes/deepnl), a long-term Dutch
research programme into a better understanding of how the deep subsurface
behaves under the influence of human interventions, e.g. in the gas reservoir
in the province of Groningen (The Netherlands), and that aims to develop a
knowledge base for geothermal energy extraction and underground CO2 and
hydrogen storage. The research team includes project leader Dr Ylona van
Dinther (UU), Prof. Dr Jan-Diederik van Wees (TNO, UU), Dr Alice Gabriel (LMU
Munich), Prof. Dr Jean-Paul Ampuero (GEOAZUR), Dr Thibault Candela (TNO), Dr
Loes Buijze (TNO) and Prof. Dr Liviu Matenco (UU). Collaborators also
appointed on the project include Dr Thomas Ulrich (LMU Munich) and Dr Huihui
Weng (GEOAZUR). The research will mainly be performed at Utrecht University,
but extended stays at the partner institutes in Germany and France are
included in the project planning.
Up to 10% of the candidate's time will be dedicated to assisting in the BSc
and MSc teaching programmes of the Department of Earth Sciences. A
personalised training programme will be set up, mutually agreed on
recruitment, which will reflect the candidate's training needs and career
objectives.

Design of robotic catheter and endoscopic systems for cancer treatment |
Recent efforts in robotics and automation research have fostered the
development of a wide variety of the miniature continuum robots which can
access confined spaces and, thanks to their compliance, follow complex
trajectories exchanging limited forces with the surroundings. These properties
explain the appeal of these robots in surgical applications and minimal
invasive surgery in particular, where critical tasks are to be executed within
the delicate and complex environment of the human body. In cancer treatment,
there is a huge potential for smart robotic catheters. Equipped with force and
shape sensing capability, advanced force control and smart catheter steering
is feasible. Building upon earlier expertise in miniaturization, sensing and
control, driving miniature dedicated catheters in difficult-to-reach anatomic
areas becomes feasible. The areas that are targeted in this project are even
harder to reach urging further improvements in terms of miniaturization.
Within this project the PhD candidate will closely collaborate with colleagues
from micro- and precision manufacturing who acquired needed equipment to
further scale down steerable systems.
By looking at new mechanisms for actuation, sensing and control,this PhD will
design and develop novel robotic endoscopic ultrasound and catheter systems.
Building on earlier work, advanced sensing and estimation techniques will be
elaborated to obtain an improved understanding of and control over the robot’s
pose and contact state within its surroundings. The conducted research fits in
an multi-disciplinary project lead by RAS, but involving also drug
manufacturers (researchers) and clinicians. A close collaboration with both
parties is envisioned and essential for success. |

PhD fellowship in RASOPTA at the Chair of Aroma and Smell Research, Friedrich-
Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg |
A 3-year PhD fellowship is available at the Chair of Aroma and Smell Research,
Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität
Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Germany, with an expected start January 1st 2022.
The fellowship is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No
956481.
**About RASOPTA**
The RASOPTA consortium consists of enthusiastic academic researchers and
innovative non-academic partners, which together will train a new generation
of scientists with expertise in sustainable and healthy fish production with
minimum water consumption. Production of fish in recirculated aquaculture
systems (RAS) requires experiences from several scientific disciplines, but
there is need to bridge existing knowledge gaps between these disciplines to
ensure a high water quality, healthy and non-stressed fish, and a supreme
consumer quality of the fish. Therefore, in RASOPTA state-of-the-art training
in important disciplines within RAS technology will be provided by 10
universities and research institutes and 8 non-academic partners in 8
countries. Primary goals of the training are to improve microbial processes to
maintain a high water quality, to identify flavour compounds that may affect
consumer preference for fish from RAS, and to ensure an optimum health and
welfare of the fish. The research also aims at developing a DNA-based chip for
early warning of quality and health of the fish. To reach the
interdisciplinary goals in RASOPTA, the consortium will train 12 Early Stage
Researchers (ESRs) in disciplines ranging from chemistry, microbiology and
molecular biology, to physiology and pathology of fish. More information about
RASOPTA can be found at .
**About your project**
Together with three other Early Stage Researchers (to be recruited by the
University of Copenhagen and the Fraunhofer IVV (Freising, Germany), you will
contribute to RASOPTA’s work package 2 which focuses on the investigation and
the development of managing strategies regarding off-flavours in fish and
water of RAS.
You will identify off-flavour hotspots in freshwater RAS systems, develop
strategies to avoid off-flavour formation, and evaluate consumer acceptance of
RAS fish. You will apply analytical methods such as gas chromatography-
olfactometry/mass spectrometry to investigate water samples obtained from
different sites of the RAS, and determine the influence of biofilters and
microbes on off-flavour formation. Moreover, you will study the organoleptic
properties of the fish and its acceptance by sensory evaluation and consumer
testing of fish. You will work in close collaboration with the Early Stage
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen and at Fraunhofer IVV, who will
work on additional aspects of off-flavour generation in different RAS systems.
Mobility within RASOPTA is of high importance and you are therefore expected
to spend two months at University of Copenhagen, and two months at RAS
production units in Denmark and France.
You will be enrolled as a PhD at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and are expected to
participate in the training programme of RASOPTA with at least 12 ECTS. At FAU
Erlangen-Nürnberg, a comprehensive training programme is also available,
offered by the Graduate Centre of FAU.
**About Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg**

Senescence in Alzheimer's Disease |
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in Europe. This form
of neurodegeneration is characterised by the deposition of misfolded Aβ and
hyperphosphorylated and misfolded Tau, loss of neurons, astrocytosis and
microgliosis. There are a few genetic conditions that induce AD in the human
population, such as mutations in the APP gene, or increased expression due to
partial duplication of the gene, or to trisomy 21 in Down syndrome. This
project will investigate the stress-related process, cellular senescence,
during the development of AD in a genetic model of the disease. The project
will integrate cutting edge cellular and molecular techniques with genetic
tools, to explore further senescence in AD models. Providing greater
understanding of the mechanisms and molecular pathways underlying senescence
in AD, will lead to the identification of novel AD drug targets and may lead
to a new platform for future clinical trials in AD patients.
The first year will be devoted to investigating the location, onset, and
dynamics of senescence in AD. In the second and third year, the project will
examine the genetic and functional contribution of senescence to Alzheimer’s
disease.
The position is open in Herault’s lab. Nevertheless, this project will combine
expertise of two collaborative teams at the IGBMC, Bill Keyes an expert in the
field of senescence and Yann Herault for mouse models of Alzheimer’s Disease. |

Post-doc en modélisation atmosphérique F/H |
The IPSL ([www.ipsl.fr](http://www.ipsl.fr)) and its Climate Modelling Centre
(cmc.ipsl.fr) lead with the French aerospace research institute ONERA an
ambitious research project, funded by the Directorate General of Civil
Aviation (DGAC, Ministry of Ecological Transition), on the climate impacts of
aviation. One objective of this project is to study the impact of contrails
and induced cirrus generated by aircraft on the atmosphere and climate. The
contribution of IPSL focuses on understanding the mechanisms of formation and
dissipation of contrails and induced cirrus and quantifying their climate
effects. The atmospheric model LMDZ will be the main tool to model the
formation and evolution of contrails. IPSL is looking for a postdoctoral
researcher to achieve that contribution.
The researcher will implement an evaluation of the upper tropospheric water
vapor climatology of the LMDZ atmospheric model, propose and set up means to
improve this climatology, and to develop and use a contrail formation and
dissipation module to evaluate their radiative impacts.
Missions:
1) Evaluate the climatology of water vapor and supersaturated regions in the
upper troposphere in the LMDZ model using ERA5 reanalyses and IAGOS data.
2) To model the formation mechanisms of contrails and their properties in
connection with near-field simulations carried out by ONERA.
3) Develop the infrastructure to perform double radiation calls in LMDZ in
order to quantify the radiative impact of contrails in a given meteorology.
4) Conduct and analyze short climate simulations to quantify the radiative
effects of contrails.
5) Present the results and write scientific articles associated with these
developments and the results obtained. |

2021DILEUA75 Postdoc position: Estimating the cohesiveness of European
societies with a network approach (1,0 fte) |
The ERC-funded research project "A network science approach to social cohesion
in European societies" (PATCHWORK) announces the recruitment of a post-
doctoral researcher for a period of four years.
The project is located at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and is
affiliated with the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology.
The successful applicant will design a model for the statistical estimation of
social cohesion based on the Network Scale-Up
Method and personal network data, resulting in international publications, and
will contribute to the research project within the interdisciplinary project
team.
The appointment will initially be for 1 year. After satisfactory evaluation of
the initial appointment, it will be extended to another 3 years. The candidate
will preferably start in November 2021.
The job location is in Bellaterra (Barcelona), but a remote start may be
discussed if the COVID-19 situation requires this.
_The Project_
As European societies are becoming increasingly unequal, diverse, and
polarised, concerns about their cohesion are growing. In this light, it is
surprising that social cohesion research has almost entirely ignored one of
its core dimensions: relationships. Broad acquaintanceship networks, which
connect each individual to hundreds of others through both intimate and
superficial relationships, have long been assumed to bind societies together
and provide a sense of community and solidarity. Nonetheless, they have hardly
been studied empirically due to the technical complexity of the comprehensive
study of society-wide networks. This project will develop a ground-breaking,
network-scientific approach to social cohesion. After designing a theoretical
framework for the structural cohesion of societies, it develops a new
methodology to study structural cohesion empirically, hybridising two strands
of network research in an unprecedented way. The methodology will be
implemented in a large-scale, cross-national European survey administered to
representative samples of the populations. The survey estimates are used to
simulate society-wide networks, to explore resulting macro-level structures.
These macro-level structures are then used to specify agent-based models to
study in more depth how broad acquaintanceship networks influence subjective
manifestations of cohesion. For the first time, we will know how cohesive
broad acquaintanceship networks are across categorical fault lines of
citizenship, social class, religion, and political orientation for five
societies, how real-life inter- and intragroup relationships cluster to form
network constellations that expose individuals in unique ways to other social
groups, and how these constellations shape subjective manifestations of
cohesion such as tolerance, trust, and acceptance of diversity.
_The Postdoctoral Researcher will have the following responsibilities:_
• conducting research (literature review, design and implementation of
statistical procedure for estimating social cohesion based on Network Scale-Up
Method and personal network data, statistical estimation and data analysis,
reporting results);
• contribution to the project’s data collection (contribution to questionnaire
design; construction of additional aggregate database with national-level
statistics; preparation of files and meta-data for open access data curation)
• presenting results at national and international scientific conferences and
in high-quality, international scientific journals
• contribution to the daily supervision of a PhD student;
• work in collaboration with Dr. Miranda Lubbers; active participation in the
research group of the PATCHWORK project in collaboration with the other
project members, including PhD students and Postdocs to be appointed;
participation in regular group meetings;
• all team members contribute to intermediate and final reports and the
academic part of the organization of meetings and conferences.
**Job position requirements (skills/languages/required experience)**
The successful candidate is expected to have:
• A Doctorate in (quantitative) sociology, social science statistics,
computational social sciences, network science, or a closely related field. If
you are nearly finished, please state the defense date.
• Excellent academic credentials
• Solid training in quantitative research methods and statistical modelling
• Advanced knowledge and skills about Social Network Analysis; in addition,
knowledge of the Network-Scale Up Method is valued
• Experience with modelling / writing code for statistical estimation in
software for quantitative analysis (R)
• Strong motivation to publish international top-quality articles
• Demonstrable interest in the topics associated with the project
• Excellent academic writing skills
• Excellent command of English (spoken and written) Fluency must be
demonstrated in the submitted documents as well as, for the candidates
selected for the third stage, in the interview. Optionally, language
certificates can be sent along with the application
• Eagerness to work in an interdisciplinary, international environment
• Excellent teamwork skills
• Professional attitude and conduct that includes organizational sensitivity,
integrity, pragmatism, and good communication skills
• Independent thinking and a hands-on mentality
Candidates can be of any nationality.
_Benefits Financial conditions:_
• a salary of 38.200 € gross annual, based on a full-time position (1.0 FTE)
• a position for four (4) years (full time). The successful candidate will
first be offered a temporary position of one year with the option of renewal
for another three years. Prolongation of the contract is contingent on
sufficient progress in the first year.
• Social security (i.e., health and pension benefits), good secondary
conditions, e.g., parental leave and flexible hours for work-family
reconciliation. The Autonomous University of Barcelona is based on the
Bellaterra Campus on the periphery of the city of Barcelona. Barcelona is a
bustling metropolis on the Mediterranean Sea, with a rich cultural life and a

2021DILEUA76 PhD student position: Analyzing the cohesiveness of European
societies with a network approach (1,0 fte) |
The ERC-funded research project "A network science approach to social cohesion
in European societies" (PATCHWORK) announces the recruitment of a pre-doctoral
researcher. The project is located at the Autonomous University of Barcelona
and is affiliated with the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology.
The successful applicant will work within the interdisciplinary project and
carry out their graduate studies in the university’s PhD program in Social and
Cultural Anthropology, writing a doctoral thesis based on the data collected
in the project. The successful applicant is offered the possibility to apply
for a joint international doctorate.
The appointment will initially be for 1 year. After satisfactory evaluation of
the initial appointment, it will be extended to another 3 years.
The candidate will preferably start in November 2021. The job location is in
Bellaterra (Barcelona), but a remote start may be discussed if the COVID-19
situation requires this.
**The Project**
As European societies are becoming increasingly unequal, diverse, and
polarised, concerns about their cohesion are growing. In this light, it is
surprising that social cohesion research has almost entirely ignored one of
its core dimensions: relationships. Broad acquaintanceship networks, which
connect each individual to hundreds of others through both intimate and
superficial relationships, have long been assumed to bind societies together
and provide a sense of community and solidarity. Nonetheless, they have hardly
been studied empirically due to the technical complexity of the comprehensive
study of society-wide networks. This project will develop a ground-breaking,
network-scientific approach to social cohesion. After designing a theoretical
framework for the structural cohesion of societies, it
develops a new methodology to study structural cohesion empirically,
hybridising two strands of network
research in an unprecedented way. The methodology will be implemented in a
large-scale, cross-national European survey administered to representative
samples of the populations.
The survey estimates are used to simulate society-wide networks, to explore
resulting macro-level structures. These macro-level
structures are then used to specify agent-based models to study in more depth
how broad acquaintanceship networks influence subjective manifestations of
cohesion. For the first time, we will know how cohesive broad acquaintanceship
networks are across categorical fault lines of citizenship, social class,
religion, and political orientation for five societies, how real-life inter-
and intragroup relationships cluster to form network constellations that
expose individuals in unique ways to other social groups, and how these
constellations shape subjective manifestations of cohesion such as tolerance,
trust, and acceptance of diversity.
The PhD student will work within the PATCHWORK research project, under
supervision of Dr. Miranda Lubbers. (S)he will have the following
responsibilities:
• Conducting research (literature review, contribution to questionnaire
design, statistical analysis of data, reporting results),
• Contributing to the project’s data collection (conducting pre- and pilot-
tests, survey preparation, data cleaning and anonymization);
• Presenting results at national and international scientific conferences;
• A three-month academic visit to a foreign research institute related to the
research;
• The research will result in high-quality, international scientific
publications that will be used to write an article-based PhD dissertation;
• The PhD student will work in collaboration with Dr. Miranda Lubbers (PhD
supervisor) and participate actively in the research group of the PATCHWORK
project in collaboration with the other project members, including PhD
students and Postdocs to be appointed. Furthermore (s)he will participate in
regular group meetings;
• All team members contribute to intermediate and final reports and the
academic part of the organization of meetings and conferences.

2021DILEUA77 Postdoctoral position for a period of three years (full time) |
**Job position**
We are seeking a candidate for a postdoctoral position for a period of three
years (full time) within an international, interdisciplinary consortium that
aims to understand how polarization between groups in Europe can be overcome
through the use of normative interventions in people’s networks. The project
is funded by the Volkswagen Foundation and is led by researchers from 4
countries: Prof. Oliver Christ (FernUniversität in Hagen), Dr. Marcin Bukowski
(Jagiellonian University, Kraków), Dr. Miranda Lubbers (Autonomous University
of Barcelona), Dr. Eva Jaspers (Utrecht University) and Prof. Maarten van Zalk
(Osnabrück University). Three Postdocs and two PhD students will be appointed
simultaneously across all countries. The team’s competencies guarantee a
genuine interdisciplinary approach, bridging social, political, and
developmental psychology with sociological perspectives and network
methodologies.
The position at the Autonomous University of Barcelona will be affiliated with
the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology. The successful applicant
will carry out research within the interdisciplinary project and write
international publications.
The appointment will initially be for 1 year. After satisfactory evaluation of
the initial appointment, it will be extended with another 2 years.
The candidate will preferably start in November 2021. The job location is in
Bellaterra (Barcelona), but a remote start may be discussed if the COVID-19
situation requires this.
**The Project**
Many European societies have become increasingly divided and polarized, partly
due to the financial crisis, migration related issues, and increased
disinformation on social media. Evidence of widening cleavages and conflicts
between groups can be found along multiple lines, such as ethnicity, social
class, religion, sexual and political orientation. This polarization, broadly
defined here as a process by which society is increasingly divided into groups
with contrasting opinions, beliefs about social issues, and conflictual
behaviour, often results in adverse feelings (e.g., dislike or hatred) and
avoidance. In Europe, polarization is accompanied by serious societal and
political challenges, such as the rise of populist leaders, growing anti-EU
sentiments, and an increase in hate speech and hate crimes. Polarization
hampers dealing effectively with the societal challenges Europe is facing and
undermines democracy.
Despite much research on conflicts and intolerance between groups, few studies
have examined how to reduce these pernicious consequences of polarization.
This PhD position focuses on understanding how cooperation is hampered in
networks consisting of opposing groups. Crossing group divides, by cooperating
on joint problems, is crucial to maintain cohesive societies. However,
knowledge is lacking how to improve intergroup relations in polarized
contexts.
The proposed project investigates the role of so-called Inclusivity Norms to
increase cooperation between groups. Prior studies have not examined the
relational nature of inclusivity norms, that is how they are embedded in our
networks of family, friends, and acquaintances, and how these norms diffuse in
social networks. Prior research has also not examined whether norms can
improve relations and increase cooperation between groups that oppose each
other, and whether such improvements may hold across group divides (e.g.,
ethnic groups).
The interdisciplinary area of social network analysis has set clear
antecedents in studying the diffusion of information and innovations in social
networks, which we draw on to model norm transmission. Recent work on network
interventions has integrated network models by targeting both social referents
and complex social reinforcement over time. The research has shown that this
approach can effectively decrease interpersonal conflicts in adolescence.
However, little is known about the potential role of the social network
structure in transmitting inclusivity norms in polarized networks, i.e.,
networks that contain opposing groups. Various methods of data collection can
be part of this project, such as Agent Based Modelling (ABM) and (online)
network experiments. A detailed description of the full project can be found
.
_The Postdoctoral Researcher will have the following responsibilities:_
• Conduct qualitative fieldwork on political discussion networks in Catalonia,
within the framework of the INCLUSIVITY project. This includes recruiting
participants, conducting semi-structured interviews with them, transcribing
and analysing interview materials;
• Contribute to the design of the cross-national survey;
• Supervise two research assistants during data collection and interview
transcription;
• Publish high quality international scientific publications based on the

«Leveraging electricity demand flexibility for the energy transition»
As part of the DEMANDFLEX research project funded by the Belgian Federal
Energy Transition Fund, project leaders Estelle Cantillon (ECARES, Solvay
Brussels School of Economics and Management), Pierre Henneaux (BEAMS, Brussels
School of Engineering) et Emmanuel Slautsky (CDD, Law and Criminology Faculty)
are hiring a **research manager** to manage the operational aspects of the
project, coordinate the research teams, contribute to the cartography of the
legal, economic and technical aspects of demand flexibility and the writing of
case studies.
The DEMANDFLEX research project
DEMANDFLEX brings together the expertise of three research centers of ULB
(BEAMS for the technical aspects, the Centre de Droit Public for the legal
aspects, et ECARES for the economic aspects) to analyse and evaluate the
technical, legal and economic solutions to foster an active role for
electricity demand in the Belgian electricity system. It will involve, on top
of the three academic sponsors, 4 doctoral students, one research assistant,
one internship supervisor and a project manager, over a period of 5 years.
The ongoing transformation of the electricity system provides the motivation
for the project. Increased penetration of renewable sources of electricity,
including decentralized sources, the development of storage and automated
demand management, as well as the increasing electrification of road transport
and heating all raise challenges (and opportunities) for the traditional
electricity system model where supply adjusts to demand.
Across the world, a new paradigm is emerging where electricity demand is
playing a more active role. This “flexibilization” of demand is an essential
lever to facilitate the integration of renewable sources of electricity as
part of the climate transition and to ensure supply adequacy without massive
investment in peak production capacity. Demand flexibility already plays a
role in Belgium today but it is far from reaching its potential. The barriers
to the full exploitation of this potential are technical, economic and legal,
hence the value for multi-disciplinary research which crosses perspectives,
and for interactions with practice as envisaged in the project.
Job Description
The research manager will be the operational head of the project. S/he will
* carry out the operational management of the project (financial management, reporting, organisation of team meetings and events, communication),
* coordinate the research teams, identify and facilitate the development of synergies, ensure the delivery of project deliverables,
* develop and manage the contacts with the electricity sector stakeholders (regulators, companies),
* contribute to the cartography of the legal, economic and technical aspects of electricity demand flexibility and to case studies. |

PhD position: Data-driven discovery of models to describe cell cycle dynamics
using machine learning techniques |
The cell cycle is an essential process in all animals, and defects in this
process can lead to devastating diseases such as cancer. In our lab, we use
cell-free extracts made from frog eggs to create an artificial cellular
environment in microfluidic devices. We controllably perturb these artificial
cells and measure their dynamical behavior using time-lapse fluorescence
microscopy. This approach allows us to generate large amounts of data on how
cell cycle processes are dynamically regulated in space and time.
In this project, the student will use these time series data containing
spatiotemporal dynamics to apply recently developed machine learning
techniques to discover underlying biological interactions and/or governing
equations. The uncovered (partial) differential equations will then be
analyzed in depth using the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. This
analysis will trigger new experiments to test the developed theoretical
framework.
The student will interact synergistically with experimentalists, theorists,
and engineers. The interdisciplinary approach will lead to new insights into
how fundamental biological processes, i.e. the progression through the life
cycle of the cell, are regulated in space and time.
The position is available immediately and applications will be considered
until the position is filled. |

Professorship of Geography with a focus on Education for Sustainable
Development (pay grade W2) |
The University of Passau owes its strong visibility and good repute to
excellent research, innovative teaching and its tight-knit international
academic networks. Some 13,000 students and more than 1,300 staff study and
work on our university campus, which is located a stone’s throw from the
historical Old Town of Passau and combines state-of-the-art technical
infrastructure with award- winning architecture. Internationally successful
high-tech companies and a vibrant start-up scene, coupled with a rich culture
and Lower Bavarian traditions, give Passau and the surrounding area a special
appeal that makes it a great place to live and work.
The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Passau invites
applications for the tenured civil-service post of:
### Professorship of Geography with a focus on Education for Sustainable
Development (pay grade W2)
This post is available to start immediately.
You will represent the area of sustainability in research and teaching, as per
the meaning of the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD/BNE) programme.
A research interest in education- related geographical research fitting in
with the sustainability profile of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and the
wider University is required. The professorship forms an important bridge
between educational sciences, geography and interdisciplinary sustainability
studies at the University of Passau. You are therefore expected to develop
geography-related teaching–learning research and participate actively in
cross-disciplinary sustainability-related research projects as well as in the
coordination of a university-wide sustainability concept.
You will teach sustainability-related courses for all interdisciplinary degree
programmes in which geography forms part of the curriculum. Furthermore, you
are expected to take an active hand in designing sustainability-related degree
programmes (at the master's and bachelor's level) and in collaborating in
Teacher Education Centre (ZLF) of the University of Passau. You will,
moreover, offer geography didactics courses for the teacher education
programmes.
A good track record in the acquisition of external (third-party) funding and
the successful implementation of the associated projects is expected, as is
evidence of a strong publication activity; if you have been published in
international and leading peer-reviewed journals, this would be a distinct
advantage. Ideally, you will also have proof of engagement in cooperative
research or teaching partnerships in a European context. Finally, a teaching
qualification in geography ('Lehramt' or equivalent) and experience teaching
at schools or in similar educational settings would be desirable.
Academics at our four faculties conduct research, teaching and knowledge
transfer activities at the cutting edge and according to the most exacting
standards. Europe, sustainability and digitalisation are particular focal
points of intensive inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration within the
University and with our many national and international partners. As a
sustainable, internationally visible and attractive university in and for
Europe, the University of Passau seeks to make important contributions to
solving the numerous challenges facing humanity both globally and locally.
The Faculty of Arts and Humanities is characterised by a wide range of
geographical, thematic, methodological and academic subjects, as represented
by its chairs and professorships. It underlines the regional specificities of
inter- and transdisciplinary research and teaching as well as the inclusion of
current social topics in times of transformation, without losing sight of
fundamental long-term research.
The successful candidate will be educated to doctoral level and have
demonstrated both pedagogical aptitude and academic excellence, whereby the
latter is generally established on the basis of the quality of his or her
doctoral research in geography. He or she will, furthermore, possess the
German formal postdoctoral _habilitation_ qualification or an equivalent body
of academic achievements garnered whilst employed at an institution of higher
education, for instance as a _juniorprofessor_ or in a comparable position
with a different title (e.g. assistant professor or lecturer), insofar as the
duties and qualification profile correspond to those of a juniorprofessor
position; the habilitation-equivalent achievements may also have been attained
outside the higher education system. In accordance with Art. 10(3)(1) of the
Bavarian Higher Education Employment Act (BayHSchPG), candidates must not be
more than 52 years of age at the time of their appointment.
The University of Passau actively promotes equal opportunities for all genders
as well as diversity in the workforce; therefore, applications are welcome
from all candidates who fulfil the requisite qualifications, without regard to
gender, cultural or social background, religion, world view, disability or
sexual identity. As the University wishes to raise the proportion of women in
research and teaching, female academics are expressly encouraged to apply.
This position is suitable for people with disabilities; Registered disabled
persons are given preference over non-disabled applicants who do not otherwise
have statutory preferential status if their overall personal aptitudes, skills
and qualifications are equal.
To be considered, your application must reach the University by **15 September
2021**. Your full application should include all relevant supporting documents
(curriculum vitae, list of publications, teaching assignments, teaching
evaluations etc.) and should preferably be sent by e-mail to
[bewerbung@phil.uni-passau.de](mailto:bewerbung@phil.uni-passau.de) with '
**Geographie** ' written in the subject line. It should be addressed to the
Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Passau,
Professor Malte Rehbein, 94030 Passau. When e-mailing your application, all
application documents should be attached in a single pdf file. E-mailed
applications are kept on file for six months after the conclusion of the
appointment procedure, whereupon they are deleted from our systems.

Post-doctoral fellow position in Molecular Plant Pathology and Functional
Genomics |
**Background:**
The Stergiopoulos lab at the Department of Plant Pathology at the University
of California Davis is seeking for a highly skilled and motivated post-
doctoral fellow in the field of molecular plant pathology and functional
genomics, to study molecular mechanisms of fungicide resistance in the grape
powdery mildew (GPM) fungus Erysiphe necator. The lab’s research portfolio
includes studying host-microbe interactions, fungicide resistance, and RNA
silencing in fungi. We use system-level approaches that integrate genomics
with classical genetics and biochemical analyses, to identify and functionally
characterize target genes and cellular processes in fungi.
**Job description:**
The post-doctoral candidate will be drawn from the field of Molecular Plant
Pathology, Molecular Plant Sciences, Molecular Biology, Microbiology,
Biochemistry, or related disciplines and will focus on elucidating the
molecular mechanisms of fungicide resistance in GPM, using functional
genomics. Specific lines of research include, but are not limited to,
identifying markers for fungicide resistance through comparative genomic and
transcriptomic analyses, functionally analyzing candidate gene targets for
resistance by RNAi or heterologous expression in other systems, monitoring
fungicide resistance in GPM, and developing diagnostic tools for resistance.
To achieve some of the project’s goals, the candidate will work closely with a
computational biologist in the lab to analyze RNAseq and Genomic data. The
position is initially for one year, renewable for a second year upon
satisfactory performance. Salary is based on experience and qualifications
according to UC Davis pay-scales
(). UC Davis
provides a highly vibrant intellectual atmosphere, a pleasant college
environment, and career development activities specifically designed for post-
doctoral scholars (). |

Researcher on modelling the effect of soil mesofauna on nutrient fluxes in
European forests, (M/W)). |
The main activities of the candidate will be as follows:
\- Implementation of these new equations in the ORCHIDEE model,
\- Its evaluation
\- Establishment of a balancing protocol adapted to this new formulation.
In the framework of the Holisoils project we are offering a 24 month research
contract to represent the impact of mesofauna on the forest carbon cycle in
the ORCHIDEE land surface model. Currently, in ORCHIDEE, the role of mesofauna
on nutrient transfers and soil hydrology is ignored. On the other hand, the
ongoing climate change will lead to more severe droughts in Europe which
forests will have to cope with. According to recent observations, the role of
mesofauna in this response is key but totally ignored in surface models. Based
on the approach developed in the KEYLINK model, the candidate will be
responsible for implementing the effect of mesofauna on nutrient cycling in
the ORCHIDEE model and evaluating the effects of this implementation in
comparison with the standard version of the model.
Europe's forests will be subject to major drought events in the future. The
response of forests to these events is of paramount importance from a climatic
point of view but also from an economic point of view for the European Union
as forests are at the centre of several European policies (the EU Bioeconomy
Strategy, the EU's LULUCF Regulation, the EU Forest Strategy (2018), and the
European Green Deal). Recent work has highlighted the importance of soil
mesofauna on nutrient cycling and soil physical properties (García-Angulo et
al., 2020) and a recent KEYLINK model has been developed to represent these
aspects (Deckmyn et al. 2020). However, these mechanisms are not integrated
into the surface scheme of climate models and therefore the response of
forests to climate change is not properly represented in these models. The
work will be carried out within the framework of the EU-funded Holisoil

PhD position on reliability-based thermo-mechanical simulations of
thermoplastic composite manufacturing |
Simulation models will be developed for reliability-based strength predictions
of thermoplastic joints. The major modelling challenges to be addressed are:
two-timescale phenomena, vast range of strain-rates and temperatures,
friction- and viscoelastic-induced heating, free-surface viscoplastic flow,
variable crystallinity, diffusion and heat dissipation that depends on the
composite layout. Two approaches are proposed for modelling free-surface
viscoplastic flow, namely Arbitrary Lagrangean-Eulerean (ALE) and the Material
Point Method (MPM) coupled with finite elements.
We propose to do the load application from higher-frequency sources
inexpensively by means of modal superposition, but the candidate will evaluate
the feasibility of this approach, and compare with other suitable methods.
The calculated homogenized heat generation due to adiabatic heating at high
strain rates, and due to friction, will serve as an input to the
thermomechanical models. The temperature-, strain-rate- and crystalline-
dependent material properties of the thermoplastic matrix will be obtained by
another researcher within the project, with whom the candidate is expected to
collaborate closely.
Diverse manufacturing simulations are expected to be performed, and among the
mandatory outcomes are the material meso-structure and corresponding
mechanical properties, including their variability with respect to processing
parameters.
The expected starting date is January/2022. |

PhD Unravelling the Solid Earth Contribution to Sea Level Change (SESeaL) |
Sea levels are rising. But how much is due to changes in ocean volume and
circulation, and how much is influenced by changes in the shape and gravity of
the earth? Those questions are still open, also because available observations
of crustal deformation and sea level are sparse in both space and time. Hence,
physical models are needed in order to produce accurate predictions along
world’s coastlines and support the realization of timely adaptation
strategies.
This project focuses on the role of solid earth deformation, which causes
vertical land motion and modifies the gravity field, both largely affecting
coastal sea level. The main solid earth processes involved at decadal to
millennial time scales are 1) the viscoelastic response of the mantle to
glacial changes, known as glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), 2) vertical
crustal motion of tectonic origin, including the seismic cycle. An accurate
quantification of their contribution to ongoing sea level change is still
lacking: only a few GIA models are available, and they show large differences
in predictions of regional sea levels, while most tectonic models cannot
reliably estimate ranges of vertical deformation. Notably, both classes of
models are largely constrained by paleo sea-level observations, which cannot
distinguish between signals of glacial or tectonic origin.
This project aims to disentangle GIA from tectonic signals, by developing a
numerical model of solid earth deformation that bridges spatial and temporal
scales, in order to interpret both space-geodetic and (paleo) sea level
observations. It will represent a major step forward in understanding the
earth’s glacial history, and in unravelling the effect of climate change and
tectonics on sea level. As a case study, it will focus on the Pacific coast of
North America, where extensive datasets of (paleo) sea level and widespread
geodetic observations of crustal deformation are available, and where both GIA
and tectonics play a major role in controlling regional sea level changes.
Methodological advances will have a general value and provide new tools to
constrain GIA and tectonic signals worldwide.
Your PhD project will be supervised by Dr. Riccardo Riva (TU Delft) and Dr.
Rob Govers (Utrecht University). In addition to an exciting research project
and a friendly and stimulating work environment, we can offer you generous
funds for scientific travel. |

PHD Position AUTOMATED FIBRE PLACEMENT |
Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) is one of the methods currently used to
automatically produce composite structures. Designers usually assume that the
robots can perfectly place the tows in the desired direction. However, in
reality the paths the robot follows are not exactly those intended by the
designers, and the tows placed down are not all of exactly the same width.
The goal of this work is to study the reasons for the difference between as-
designed structures and the as-manufactured structure, and model the
differences between them. Possible differences are the gaps and overlaps
occurring due to the tow width variations, or the angle deviations due to the
path deviations.
Ways to minimise the impact of these difference may also be studied. One can
think of minimising the chances of a defect occurring, which is possible since
the reasons are known, on critical locations. In the end, this work will be
the link between the design and the manufacture of a structure. |

As a PhD Candidate, you conduct research at the intersection of semantics,
category theory and coalgebra. You have plenty of freedom to define your own
research direction, and can contribute to building a toolkit for constructing,
combining and analysing distributive laws._
As a PhD candidate on this project, you will conduct research in theoretical
Computer Science at the intersection of semantics, category theory and
coalgebra.
Coalgebra is an elegant mathematical theory of state-based systems (transition
systems, various kinds of automata, probabilistic models), based on category
theory. In this context, distributive laws capture the interaction between
coalgebra and algebra, and have shown to be very useful as a general way of
modelling programming language semantics, as well as automata constructions
and powerful co-inductive proof techniques.
The aim of the project is to investigate distributive laws in their own right,
and build a toolkit for constructing, combining and analysing them. You can
build on several existing approaches, but will have plenty of freedom to
define your own direction and focus. |

Postdoctoral researcher in Theoretical Chemistry |
The adsorption of atoms and molecules on metal surfaces goes hand in hand with
a change of surface properties, including their absorptivity of and
reflectivity for electromagnetic radiation. A hydrogen plasma as present e.g.
in EUV lithography machinery provides a source of a rather "diverse cocktail"
of reactive adsorbates, which are expected to facilitate a huge variety of
corrosion processes. A fundamental understanding of the surface chemistry and
concomitant formation of surface contaminant structures, which are responsible
for the aforementioned material degradation, demands insights from the atomic
scale. This is difficult to obtain from experiments alone and is nowadays
complemented or even guided by state-of-the-art computer simulations rooted in
quantum mechanical first principles. Density functional theory (DFT) has
emerged as an accurate and very successful workhorse for such calculations.
However, in this case DFT calculations are challenged by the aforementioned
combinatorial and structural complexity of the adsorption structures that can
form. Recent developments and applications of density functional tight binding
(DFTB) on the other hand promise to significantly lower the computational
burden by two to three orders of magnitude at a tolerable loss of accuracy.
Objectives:
* Development of a computational workflow for automated generation of metallic interfaces;
* Extension of DFTB to calculate infrared intensities. |

An investigation of the role of adult learners in the co-creation of
curriculum design in lifelong learning contexts in TUSEI |
Post summary
Applications are invited from suitably qualified graduates for a full-time
funded PhD study supported by the South East Regional Development PhD
Scholarship programme between Waterford Institute of Technology and Institute
of Technology, Carlow. The overall aim of the inter-disciplinary study is to
investigate how adult learners enrolled on lifelong learning programmes (part-
time and flexible) in both Institutes can contribute to informing and shaping
curriculum development in the Technological University of the South-East of
Ireland (TUSEI). It will address the use of a co-creation model for curriculum
design by concentrating on the ‘lived experiences’ of adult learners as they
commence and progress through a cross-section of lifelong learning programmes
in both Institutes. A mixed-method research design will be used to collect
quantitative and qualitative data in two sequential phases from adult learners
who are registered on lifelong learning programmes in both Institutes. The
findings will contribute to a greater understanding of the experiences of
adult learners in HE and inform future best practice in the development of
lifelong learning programmes in TUSEI, which are responsive to students and
employer’s needs, as well as the economic and societal needs of the South-East
region and beyond. A key output of the PhD study will be the development of a
conceptual model and framework for the operationalisation of a co-creation
model of curriculum design in TUSEI.
The successful applicant, in conjunction with the project supervisory team,
will further develop the methodology being utilised for the study. The
applicant will recruit research participants, implement the research design,
collect and analyse the data and write up the findings as part of the WIT PhD
requirements.
Standard responsibilities of the scholarship
The successful applicant will:
\- be located at Waterford Institute of Technology, Cork Road/College Street,
Waterford.
\- complete appropriate research training agreed with the supervisory team.
\- write for academic journal publications and present research papers at
academic conferences with respect to the research project, as agreed with the
supervisory team.
\- undertake 2 hours per week of departmental work activities as directed by
department management, in agreement with the supervisory team.
\- provide periodic progress reports on the research study to the supervisory
team.
\- contribute to the public dissemination of the research project through
various mediums appropriate for the research.
\- contribute to the academic and research culture in both Institutes. |

Project Consultant Tender |
**Summary**
The Centre is looking for an experienced consultant with expertise in EU
funding to identify concrete opportunities among the portfolio of EU funding
mechanisms to support the Leave No One Behind Partnership and its [Making
Voices Heard and Count](https://voicescount.org) project. This consultancy
includes two components - firstly we seek to identify concrete mechanisms,
instruments and/or calls for proposals issued by the different funding
entities of the European Union, which match the specific model of the Leave No
One Behind Partnership and objectives of the Making Voices Heard and Count
project. Secondly, once funding has been identified we seek further support
with the application process. This second step will be dependent on a decision
by the members of the partnership whether to go forward with a specific
identified funding opportunity. Consultants are welcome to apply with an offer
for both components or just for the first, depending on capacities and
qualifications.
**About Making Voices Heard and Count**
[Making Voices Heard and Count](https://voicescount.org/) (MVHC) is a unique
collaborative project of the [Leave No One Behind](https://icscentre.org/our-
work/leave-no-one-behind/) (LNOB) partnership, which is hosted by the
[International Civil Society Centre](http://www.icscentre.org). The
partnership was launched in late 2017 by 12 international civil society
organisations. It brings together international and national civil society
organisations (CSOs), civic networks and platforms with the ambition to bring
about a scalable solution for filling data gaps on marginalised groups in the
monitoring and review of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Thereby,
the project aims to make a key contribution towards fulfilling the Agenda
2030’s universal pledge to leave no one behind. The MVHC project fosters an
inclusive model of SDG monitoring, supporting the collection, analysis and
dissemination of community-driven data and giving a stage to data produced by
the local target groups themselves – helping to make their voices heard and
count.
In 2018, the partnership set up national coalitions in five pilot countries:
Bangladesh, India, Kenya, Nepal, and Vietnam. The national coalitions brought
together national CSOs, civic networks and platforms, as well as community-
based and community-led organisations. Each country coalition delivered a
national pilot research with a focus on various marginalised communities with
the overall goal of closing knowledge gaps, analysing local drivers of
vulnerability, and deriving concrete recommendations for public policy-making
and planning. In the pilot project (2018-2019), more than 2.000 community
representatives from over 20 different counties and neighbourhoods were
involved. In our follow-up project, launched in 2020 and running over the
coming years, the ambition is to reach at least 100.000 people from
marginalised communities in a growing number of action countries such as
Malawi or Denmark.
**Theory of Change**
As an advocacy partnership, we aim to foster an enabling political environment
for the inclusion of marginalised communities in the SDG process, working in
close exchange with key government entities and local decision makers in our
action countries. At the global level, we work with multilateral agencies and
global platforms to amplify and reinforce our political messaging.
Our overall goal is to make sure that:
* **Country SDG priorities are inclusive of the voices of those at risk of being left behind.**
* **SDG strategies and policies are informed by community-driven data, complementing other official data.**
To make sure the voices of marginalised communities are heard, we work
towards:
* the inclusion of community-driven data in the Voluntary National Reporting of UN member countries
* the empowerment of marginalised communities in the public SDG discourse
* the creation of nationally and internationally recognised guidelines for the generation and use of community-driven data in the SDG process
To make sure these voices also count in the political process, we work
towards:
* public policies, programmes, services and/or budgets earmarking the support for marginalised communities, following the principle to leave no one behind
* community-driven data and other inclusive instruments being used to monitor public service delivery at the local level
* local and national governments actively using community-driven data to adjust policies, programmes and/or budgets.
To follow through on the above goals and outcomes, we apply an approach that
is locally led, but globally connected:
* Our country teams facilitate trainings for local CSOs and community-based organisations to collect SDG monitoring data. Following up on these trainings, local community champions collect data and enter into a dialogue with government authorities at the national and subnational level, aiming to foster the active use of this data in the planning of policies and services.
* Our team of global experts supports the country teams through capacity building and the development of guidance material for an improved use of data. A key effort in that regard is the development of digital data platforms to visualise the national project data.
* Global members and strategic allies form an advocacy alliance for the increased use of inclusive data approaches in the SDG process targeting key multilateral agencies and other UN member states, reinforcing our national political work from the global level.
**Outlook**
Making Voices Heard and Count is currently co-financed by Germany’s biggest
private foundation, the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the Swedish Development Agency
(Sida) and the partners of the Leave No One Behind coalition[1]. We are in
strategic partnerships with GIZ / Partners for Review and the Danish Institute
for Human Rights who are supporting our work around multi-actor data
partnerships. We further work with the UN Foundation / Global Partnership on
Sustainable Development Data on a joint report with the focus on the impact of
Covid-19 on marginalised communities and the role that civil society data can
play in response planning. We have further entered into a collaboration with
the United Nations Statistics Division supporting us with technical guidance.
With the financial support of the EU as of 2022, we aim to further scale up
our work in our existing action countries, and launch new collaborations in up
to 10 new action countries inside and outside of Europe until 2025, thereby
further reinforcing our political push towards a more inclusive SDG
implementation worldwide.
In this coalition, we bring together globally connected civil society actors
who are active in more than 150 countries worldwide, having well established
relationships with public authorities at the national and subnational levels,
as well as with actors from local civil society. Our platform has the
potential to launch communities of action around the globe including the EU’s
priority partner countries/regions, helping to strengthen the EU’s political
agenda towards more active inclusion and a successful delivery of the 2030
Agenda.
**About the Centre**
The [International Civil Society Centre](http://www.icscentre.org) was founded
in 2007 and is owned by 15 of the world’s largest international civil society
organisations such as Amnesty International, Oxfam and Save the Children. Our
mission is to strengthen the impact and resilience of international civil
society organisations to support people to change their world for the better.
The Centre serves as the secretariat of the Leave No One Behind partnership.
In this role, the Centre aims to secure smooth coordination between partners
at all levels. It keeps track of the progress of the partnership' strategic
goals and of overall project implementation at the national levels. It
facilitates global events and 'national exploration workshops' to foster new
collaborative country action. It leads on the overall external outreach,
acquisition of new members and fostering of strategic partnerships. Also, it
coordinates global fundraising and actively supports fundraising for national
project implementation. In this function, the Centre is able to leverage the
network and facilitate partnerships to form effective and valuable consortia
for EU funding purposes. We are open to facilitate horizontal (between
organisations) and vertical (between global and national level) consortia for
successful funding applications.
**Deliverables**
Against the above background, the Centre is commissioning a consultant to:
_Part 1:_
5. prepare an inception report for an assessment of EU fundraising opportunities
* including the offeror’s understanding of the partnership and project deliverables and needs
* suggesting a concrete approach on how to assess partnership and partners to understand funding needs and matching opportunities
* describing a methodology on how to identify and scope respective EU funding opportunities
* offering a timeline for the delivery of the individual work streams
* outlining requirements and recommended steps for a successful application to one or more funding opportunities
* including an assessment / recommendation on possible options for the partnership / individual members to enter into a _long-term strategic partnership_ with the EU
* Optional: indicate how the offeror can support the partnership in the preparation / delivery of these next steps and in in the application process
6. scan available funding opportunities offered by the various EU funding mechanisms and instruments, and identify one or more applicable concrete opportunities for the Leave No One Behind partnership
* this may include a two-tiered approach of smaller/medium sized grants (5 and 6 digit opportunities) and major grants (7 digit opportunities)
* this must _not_ include a scoping exercise of non- EU funding opportunities as this has been done by the Centre already
7. advise on needed administrative and financial capacities and required due diligence to apply for and administer potential grant amounts
* this may include, but not limited to, an overview of basic governance issues, policies and procedures needed to prepare funding proposals and administer respective grants
* depending on the concrete opportunities identified by the offeror, this advice should be preferably provided per identified funding opportunity
8. identify partner organisations within the Leave No One Behind partnership who are best suited to take on the lead applicant role
* this includes an assessment of the LNOB members’ existing partnership with the EU and their track record of EU funding
* this may further include an assessment of each partner’s specific governance model, administrative capacities, and regional networks
* this may also include and assessment whether multi-partner / consortia applications or single lead applications are preferable
_(optional) Part 2:_
5. offer ongoing support for the next steps of the application process
* this part depends on the successful completion of the first part and the partnership’s decision on whether to go ahead with an application for an identified funding opportunity.
* the offeror should indicate in their proposal whether they are applying for both parts of the consultancy call or just for the first. Applying for the optional second part of the consultancy will not inform the final selection of the awarded consultant.
* if deciding to apply for the optional part 2, the offeror should describe what kind of support they may offer to the partnership in terms of following through on an identified fundraising opportunity (this may include but does not have to be limited to providing strategic advice / writing support for the application process)

Experimental researcher in nonlinear photonics |
**Experimental and theoretical investigation of a new kind of feedback in
optical cavities, with applications in photonics.**
Feedback is at the heart of many technological devices. In optics, combined
with gain, it leads to lasing. Combined with nonlinearity, it leads to
nonlinear passive optical resonators. Nowadays these systems attract much
attention as the nonlinearity allows to generate new frequencies and the
combination with the feedback opens up the way to generate broadband frequency
combs. In those systems, the feedback involves the phase and the amplitude,
which offers two control parameters, but also requires to stabilize the setup
with a precision down to the wavelength.
In this research project, we want to investigate a device based on
nonlinearity and incoherent feedback, i.e., that does not involve the optical
phase. Such feedback occurs in mode-locking and in many optoelectronic
devices, like the optoelectronic oscillator, in which the optoelectronic
conversion severely limits the bandwidth. To leverage this limitation, we have
shown the possibility to achieve incoherent feedback in an all-optical system.
**The short term objective of this projet is to demonstrate fast self-pulsing
in this all-optical setup with incoherent feedback**. Based on analytical and
numerical modelling, we expect to observe a high stability of the modulation
frequency with respect to power fluctuations of the pump.
A mid term objective is to couple two such cavities in a dimer configuration
and to investigate the emergent properties arising from this coupling. |

Postdoc/Engineer position in Paris on Birdsong Biomechanics (6 months to 1
year) |
Project information:
Patients suffering from an advanced stage of laryngeal cancer often have to
undergo a total surgical removal of the human voice source, the larynx. To
recover the ability to speak, a prosthesis, mimicking the vocal folds, is
usually placed between the trachea and the esophagus. Unfortunately, the
created voice is of poor quality: it is weak, with a low fundamental frequency
and sounds mechanical. It has a huge psychological impact, especially on
women, who generally struggle with their new masculine voice. In addition, the
limited lifetime of the devices, due to biofilm coming from mucus/material
interactions, forces a frequent device replacement.
To date, there is no voice prosthesis lasting more than 3 months and able to
reconstruct a natural sounding human voice. In this context, birds should
attract attention. First, their vocal repertoire is incredibly diverse, with
pitch spanning from 100 to 12 000 Hz, compared to only 85 to 255 Hz in human
speech. Moreover, their unique vocal organ, the syrinx, produces sounds from
the vibration of membranes, located in the wall of the syrinx, meaning that
the air is flowing through the vocal tract without crossing any structures,
unlike in mammals.
Designing prostheses based on this unique organ would not only produce voices
that will sound more humane but also help to prevent from biofilm formation.
The “Birdsong for Human(e) voices” project is funded by the CRI and is led by
Dr. Pauline Provini. More information on the project:
Job Description:
We are searching for a highly motivated postdoc/engineer to be part of a team
focusing on the Biomechanics of Birdsong.
The chosen applicant will play a substantive role in conducting the analyses

* Manage the database derived from the experiments (biplanar X-ray data, CT-scans)
* Produce digital models of the vocal systems of several species of birds derived, from CT-scans
* Track 3D position of markers in X-ray videos and reconstruct 3D motion of bones (using XMALab) to create 3D skeletal and soft tissue animations (using Autodesk Maya)
* Extract relevant kinematic measurements from the 3D animations to describe the internal motions of the vocal system during head and neck motions.
* Produce relevant figures and write a scientific publication.
Job Open/Close Date: 6-month position, starting in September 2021 (possibility
of a 6-month renewal).

Post-doctorate position for CleanSky project PERSEUS: High-fidelity simulation
of the internal flow in a pulsed jet actuator |
Context & Objectives
The take-off and landing are critical flight phases where the pitch of the
airplane and the angle of attack with respect to the airflow may lead to
detrimental effects such as the onset stall and an increase of drag for mild
lift increase. Although the stalling process is now well documented, the
physics of turbulent boundary separation, and in particular its control using
active methods is still a very active area of research. While progress in flow
control, based on laboratory experiments shows promising potential, the
upscaling phase targeting full-scale aircraft remains a challenge posed by the
overall efficiency of the embedded system into the aircraft [Schlosser18]. So
far, embedded active flow control devices leading to a net gain in the energy
balance on a full-scale aircraft remains an open issue. To tackle this issue,
the investigation of possible solution to improve the effectiveness of flow-
control based on net-mass-flux Pulsed Jet Actuators (PJAs) to reattach the
boundary layer has been defined as one of the objectives of the CleanSky2 JU
program (JTI-CS2-2019-CFP10-AIR-02-77 - Increasing the efficiency of pulsed
jet actuators for flow separation control).
In this context, the PERSEUS (Pulsed jEt actuatoRs for SEparation control of
tUrbulent flowS) project, funded by European Union CleanSky2 program, has
started in September 2020 for 30 months. This project will combine wind tunnel
experiments with numerical simulations and a sensitivity analysis to improve
the control authority of pulsed jet actuators (PJAs) to separated turbulent
flows over a 2.5D airfoil equipped with a flap. The target of this approach is
to determine the minimum net-mass-flux required by PJAs to compensate for the
momentum deficit in the boundary layer. The two main objectives are 1) to
design a new generation of PJAs, 2) to develop a new methodology to optimize
the PJA design (size, aspect ratio) as well as its operating parameters
(location, amplitude and frequency). The project is built on the complementary
partners' experiences in fluidic oscillators PJAs design, manufacturing, and
ground testing (ICA/INSA Toulouse), high-fidelity numerical simulations of
compressible flows (DynFluid/ENSAM), fluid flow optimization for active
control of separated flows (DynFluid/ENSAM and Prisme/Univ. Orléans) and wind-
tunnel model design and testing (Prisme/Univ. Orl\'eans and ICA/INSA
Toulouse).
The objective of the present post-doctoral research project (12 months at
DynFluid/ENSAM) is to contribute to optimization and characterization of PJAs,
by using high-fidelity numerical simulations. Compared to steady blowing
methods, the active flow control based on periodic fluidic excitations is much
more efficient. We are interested in actuators without moving parts that rely
purely on unsteady fluid dynamics created by particular geometries and
recirculation loops, such as fluidic oscillators
[Raghu13,Tesar13,Wang16,Wang17,Schlosser18]. They can be considered as a great
advantage for active flow control in terms of reliability and robustness
[Wang16]. Since the oscillations are totally self-induced and self-sustained
and only dependent on the internal flow dynamics, fluidic oscillators can emit
periodic jets in a wide operating frequency and velocity ranges when supplied
with a pressurized fluid.
Work plan
The present work would explore and analyze new PJA fluidic oscillator designs
and will help improving their performances. For that purpose, numerical
simulations will be carried out. On one side, the INSA team will develop low-
fidelity numerical models of the fluidic oscillators using the open source CFD
solver OpenFOAM and/or Fluent software, based on their previous experience on
similar PJA from Wang's thesis [Wang17]. This preliminary approach will permit
to define the main geometrical characteristics of the oscillators allowing to
reach the desired performances in terms of oscillation frequency and blowing
flow rate. High-fidelity compressible large-eddy simulations will then be
performed at ENSAM to get further insights into the flow dynamics and
performances of the fluidic actuator for the pre-selected configuration. High-
fidelity simulations of compressible flows in fluidic oscillators remain
scarce. To our knowledge, the only work exploring this issue was recently
published by Kim et al [Kim17]. DynFluid's compressible flow solver MUSICA2
based on high-order numerical algorithms [Gloerfelt19] will be used to
simulate the PJA internal flow. The computational domain will include the
fluid region from the PJA inlet to the exit tubes. Wall-resolved LES is
planned on structured multi-block curvilinear grids. One of the objectives of
the high-fidelity simulations is to provide a detailed analysis of the link
between the inlet flux and the exit mass flow rate and velocity considering
fluid compressibility. In particular, the shape and amplitude of the velocity
profiles of the jets at the exit of the actuators will be compared to URANS
simulations and experimental data. Spectral and modal decomposition, such as
SPOD (Spectral Proper Orthogonal Decomposition) can be used to analyse the
compressible flow dynamics in the fluidic oscillator.

PhD: Hybrid twin concept to embedded life-cycle management of smart multi-
material structures |
Context:
Hybrid material has gained attention and interest in engine design. For some
current engines, the core body of the fan blades is composed of 3D woven
composite material, while the leading edge is made up of titanium. The
manufacturing of these complex composite aerofoils usually involves long
processes that proceed by injecting a resin into a mold initially filled with
a reinforcement preform (RTM process– Resin Transfer Molding). The associated
forming process simulation, used to optimize and control the process,
generally greatly differs from the reality because of the important
variability in the input matter material parameters in both space and time
that is not (or badly) considered into simulation. Currently, Airbus and as
well as Boeing are working hard to enhance the robustness and reliability of
the composite manufacturing process through monitoring technology and modeling
& simulation of the RTM process 1.Therefore, in order to be able to control
the process and to ensure high quality part forming, the manufacturing system
(namely the injection process) should adapt in real time to these changing
conditions in the input matter characteristic but also to any change in the
factory and even to the customer needs.
Furthermore, providing the structure with cognitive capabilities (data from
sensors and digital models) involves strategically adding sensors within it.
These sensors can then enable the monitoring of the structure health
throughout its service life and to push towards a "sustainable eco-friendly
manufacturing" philosophy promoted by engine manufacturing companies, by
developing original concepts for disassembling, reuse and recycling.
The digital twin is a standard multi-physical simulation model. The concept of
hybrid twin2 goes beyond the digital one, by combining physics-based and data-
driven models. It makes use of Model Order Reduction (MOR) techniques (also
called surrogate model) to provide real-time solution of physically based
models that have been calibrated through physical sensors data and on-the-fly
data-driven models (estimation and machine learning approaches) and to correct
any observed deviation or mismatch between data and model prediction. The data
provided by the printed and embedded sensors are fed to the hybrid twin which
adapts online during its whole life cycle.
This PhD position is part of the H2020 project MORPHO where the overall goal
is to enable efficient, profitable, and environmental-friendly manufacturing,
maintenance, and recycling of these next-generation smart engine fan blades.
MORPHO consortium is built up with multiple partners across several European
universities and companies and close collaboration with them is expected.
Objectives and research work:
The PhD candidate will be in charge of developing a hybrid twins platform
merging physics-based and data-driven models for monitoring the in-service
life of a smart fan blade. Model reduction and machine learning algorithms
will be used to decrease computational complexity to quantify the smart blade
performances within the aircraft engine.
In addition to the FBG sensors that will be included during the RTM
manufacturing process, the hybrid structure will be embedded with printed
sensors (PZT, temperature or humidity). The generated data will then be used
for digitalization purposes and for feeding robust structural health
monitoring algorithms3,4 that have to be elaborated within this thesis to
predict the remaining useful life (RUL) of the structure.
Among the main objectives, we can highlight the following:
• To elaborate an interactive hybrid twin platform allowing to provide
feedback regarding specifications, to assess the smart fan blade performances.
• To quantify smart fan blade performances within the aircraft engine and its
environment by developing a reduced parametric smart fan blade model that will
be included in complex system simulation tools. |

5\. WORK PLANS AND SCIENTIFIC ORIENTATION OF THE SCHOLARSHIPS
The main goal of the work plan to be developed is to strengthen IVAR (Research
Institute in Volcanology and Risks Assessment) current capacity to assessing
and monitoring volcanic risks, and to supporting crisis management in the
Azores, by developing, implementing and using remote sensing-based approaches,
methods and data. The specific aim of this doctoral project is to develop an
integrated system able to support the monitoring of volcanic areas based on
the synergistic and accurate use of multispectral, hyperspectral, radar (SAR)
and LIDAR data, whether obtained by satellite, aerial or terrestrial sensors.
This Ph.D. project will also imply a holistic approach (multi-sensor, multi-
resolution) based on the synergistic use of the most advanced and accurate
geospatial data processing and modelling approaches, methods and techniques.
Solid knowledge is required in the development of remote sensing applications
in the Earth Sciences domain (in terms of data acquisition, processing and
analysis), together with an advanced domain of Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) and Statistics. Proficiency in JavaScript and/or Python programming
languages is considered a preferential condition.
The scientific orientation of the activities to be carried out within the

PostDoc in Social Ecology of Livestock Husbandry in Namibia |
**DITSL Witzenhausen - the German Institute for Tropical and Subtropical
Agriculture** invites applications for a
**Post Doc Position** (50% TVH, 3 years perferably starting October 1st,
2021), to
conduct and coordinate **research on (post-)colonial transformation of cattle
husbandry and breeding in Namibia** , within a
DFG-funded project network on historical, socio-ecological and genetic
transformations of livestock breeding in Namibia.
**The Post Doc will be working in the social ecology package** of a DFG-funded
interdisciplinary project network entitled “(Post)-colonial livestock breeding
in Namibia: Historical, socio-ecological and genetic transformations”. In this
network, DITSL cooperates with historians and archivists from CAU at Kiel and
NLAS and UNAM at Windhoek, and with livestock scientists from JLU at Gießen
and NUST at Windhoek. The project investigates the colonial impact on
different cattle husbandry systems, their production logics, and cattle
populations north and south of the veterinary cordon fence, and whether this
has influenced, via the introduced management and breeding strategies, the
phenotypic and genetic makeup of the respective cattle populations. Further
information is available at .
**The Post Doc will**
\- conduct own research (desktop and field research),
\- co-supervise and facilitate PhD, and MSc field research in Namibia,
\- coordinate collaboration among Namibian and German science and practice
partners,
\- coordinate the overall integration of the different project components.
**The Post Doc’s own research** will comprise analysing the transformation of
livestock farming along with its natural resource base in Namibia during the
colonial period from a socio-ecological, and an animal science perspective,
based on archive material of the colonial school in Witzenhausen (e.g. diploma
theses, correspondence of colonists with the school), and on contemporary
livestock science and ethnological literature from the late 19th and early
20th century (teaching materials, textbooks, scientific publications), as well
as own data collected using narrative interviews to establish farm and
breeding history of mobile and stationary pastoral livestock systems and the
natural resource base development in Namibia.
The 3 year position (50% TVH) is supposed to start by 1st of October 2021.
Further fund raising to increase the position to a full time position will be
supported. |

PHD position in Reproductive Medicine |
LEERM offers an open position for a PhD candidate in an ongoing project on
early implantation events.
Endometrial receptivity, culminating during the implantation window, is
imperative for successful implantation as failure to do so results in
infertility. Embryo implantation and the establishment of feto-maternal
crosstalk requires the interaction of many cell types and processes that are
orchestrated by a myriad of growth factors and hormones. Epithelial cells will
interpret and respond to signals received from the implanting blastocyst in
order to accommodate its implantation. In this research project we aim to
unravel the underlaying mechanism in the crosstalk between the embryo and the
uterus. Very specific research question will be studied:
* What kind of signals are released by the blastocyst?
* What are the uterine sensors for the detection of embryonic signals?
* What are the uterine consequences after detection of these embryonic signals?
* Can we apply this gathered knowledge in human to further improve the IVF process in human? |

The conception of gender and power in children |
-Thesis host laboratory: Lyon Neuroscience Research Center (UMR 5292 CNRS - 1028 INSERM - University Lyon 1)
Neurocampus 95 Boulevard Pinel, 69500 Bron and IDEE building 59 Boulevard
Pinel 69500 Bron
Host team within the CRNL: TRAJECTOIRES
Doctoral school: Neuroscience and Cognition doctoral school (ED 476 - NSCO,
University of Lyon)
Laboratory director: Olivier Bertrand
Ph.D supervisor: Jean-Baptiste Van der Henst (CNRS researcher)
Financing : National Research Agency (ANR)
Funding Management: CNRS - Délégation Rhône Auvergne
Contract: 3 years full time.
Starting date : January 2022
Remuneration: approximately 2135 euros gross per month
Topic
The thesis project aims to understand how children conceive power relations
between individuals of different genders. This work will be based on
experiments inspired by the developmental psychology approach and will be
conducted with children aged 4 to 8 years. The goal of this project is to
understand children's expectations of the gender of the person who exercises
power, how these expectations differ according to the children's age, their
own gender, or their cultural environment.
Context
The concept of gender is tightly intertwined with the notion of power, as in
nearly all human societies gender categories are shaped by inequalities in
status, resources, or rights. From a psychological viewpoint, people often
view the gender distinction as a status distinction, which may lead them to
conform their behavior to gender hierarchies. It is also know that the
internalization of gender norms and the adoption of gender-typed behaviors
emerges in early childhood.
While much is known about adults' conceptions of power and gender, research
has rarely addressed this issue in children. First, most studies on
understanding of dominance and power preschoolers have neglected the gender
issue, using stimuli that involve interactions between two characters who are
either non-gendered, of a single gender, or whose gender is confounded with
the participant's gender. Second, studies on early conceptions of gender have
neglected to explore how children view power dynamics between males and
females, focusing instead on their ability to distinguish between the traits,
behaviors, preferences, activities, or even symbolic qualities that are
stereotypically associated with males and females.
Missions
By the age of 4, children have acquired various knowledge of sex and gender.
At the same age, they also show a sophisticated understanding of dominance and
power relationships in social interactions. The first part of the thesis will
investigate whether gender is a criterion for children to decide who has power
in mixed-gender interactions. It will examine several expressions of power
(decision-making power, punishment power, of reward power...) and determine
how, from the point of view of children, gender is distributed in these
different expressions.
The second part of the thesis will aim to study the attitudes of children
towards gendered power. It will explore the extent to which children believe
that the legitimacy of power is based in part on the gender of the person
exercising it. For example, do they feel that the gender that is most dominant
in their environment is more legitimate to exercise power? Or do they consider
individuals of the same gender as themselves to be more legitimate to hold
power?
The project extends a study conducted by the research team published in Sex
Roles:

Analysis, design and implementation of control systems with learning
components - H/F |
The first objective of the project will be to analyze closed-loop stability of
such systems by Lyapunov arguments associated to numerical methods based on
linear matrix inequalities, extending the approaches to deal with isolated
nonlinearities [3], [1] to the setting of neural networks [2], [5]. We will
propose conditions to assess the global or regional stability of the system
and to estimate the basin of attraction (i.e. the set of states from which
stability is guaranteed). Strategies and relaxations allowing to achieve
scalability of the approach to handle deep neural network will be tackled. A
design methodology for neural networks and associated learning algorithms will
be developed based on these conditions to improve for example the size of the
estimated basin of attraction.
The second objective of the project deals with the real-time implementation of
such components. Since the evaluation of a function defined by a neural
network can be costly, we will propose event-triggered algorithms [4],
allowing to compute approximately the output of the function by updating only
a portion of the nodes of the neural network instead of providing periodic
sampling of the network. The objective of such algorithms is to reduce the
computational cost associated to neural network evaluation while preserving
the stability of the system.
The research activities will consist in particular to provide a good
literature overview, to develop theoretical and methodological results, to
provide associated algorithms and MATLAB codes. A significant degree of
freedom will be given to the researcher to create and pursue his/her ideas
broadly within the proposed scope.

The project aims at developing theoretical and numerical tools to deal with
control systems involving some learning components such as neural networks.
While such components are well-suited to optimize the behavior of a system
according to some quantitative performance criteria, their use in safety-
critical systems requires us to be able to prove properties such as stability
and robustness. The principal challenge in this setting lies in the structure
of neural networks, which consists in several (and potentially many) nested
nonlinearities.

Postdoc Robust Decision Making on Critical Structures under Uncertainties |
Timely decision making and effective maintenance scheduling of complex and
critical engineering structures and infrastructures (such as bridges, wind
turbines, nuclear power plant and aerostructures to name a few) are strongly
dependent on the capability of detecting anomalies in the behaviour of these
structures and infrastructures, estimating their remaining useful life and
suggest preventive actions to restore normal conditions. To tackle these
challenges, it is imperative to develop robust approaches that are capable of
effectively combining information from sparse and limited measurements with
physics-based models while taking into account uncertainties arising from
operational and environmental loadings, measurements, mathematical models, and
spatial and temporal variability caused by ageing and degradation phenomena.
This 2-year research post focuses on addressing fundamental research questions
related to computational and operational challenges that continue to emerge at
the interface of uncertainty quantification, machine learning and physics-
based modelling for enabling robust decision making on critical structures
during operating conditions.

PhD Fire Resilient Landscapes in PyroLife Innovative Training Network on
integrated fire management |
_**Do you have a genuine interest in landscape fires and resilience? And in
further developing integrated fire management based on social, economic,
cultural and ecological values? Are you up for an interdisciplinary challenge,
looking and learning beyond your own field and assumptions? With an
international team that is inclusive, collaborative, creative and open minded?
Then we are looking for you!**_
The recent wildfire seasons are a glimpse of what to expect in the future:
dangerous mega-fires in Mediterranean regions and high fire activity in
temperate and boreal areas outside the typical Spring fire season. We cannot
solve this challenge with the traditional mono-disciplinary approach of fire
suppression: there is a critical need to change fire management from fire
resistance to landscape resilience: Living with Fire. This requires a new type
of diverse experts, who not only understand their own discipline and fire, but
who are also able to communicate risks and engage with communities, deal with
uncertainty, and link scientific disciplines as well as science and practice.
The [Innovative Training Network PyroLife](https://pyrolife.lessonsonfire.eu/)
trains the new generation of interdisciplinary experts in integrated fire
management, based on four axes of diversity: cross-risk, cross-geography,
intersectoral (linking science and practice) and social diversity. We are
hiring 1 PhD candidate to join a team of 15 diverse PhD candidates across
Southern and Northwest Europe and across a range of scientific disciplines,
from social sciences and policy to environmental sciences and engineering.
PhD Topic description: Fire Resilient Landscapes
Managing landscape fire risk relies for a major part on managing fuel and
vegetation patterns at smaller and larger scales. Yet fire behavior is
changing and becoming more extreme, both in Mediterranean regions as well as
in temperate areas. It is therefore essential to better understand how
landscapes can be created that are resilient to changing fire regimes. This
PhD research will focus on how the vulnerability of landscapes to fires is
controlled by the features of the landscape (e.g. vegetation type and
landscape homogeneity) and how that varies with the different ways in which
fires can burn. It includes analysis of past fires as well as future
scenarios, using GIS and remote sensing analyses and spatial fire behavior
modeling. Being the last PhD project of the 15 PyroLife PhD's, this project
offers the unique opportunity to build upon PyroLife research results and uses
key conclusions from these projects in the creation of future landscape
scenarios. As such, this project creates a basis for how fire-resilient
landscapes can be designed.
PyroLife is a training program, which means that candidates undertake a set of
network-wide training activities as part of a 39-ECTS personal career
development plan. This candidate will be based at Wageningen University,
Netherlands, with two four-month secondments in a fire service and a small
enterprise in Europe. At Wageningen University, the candidate will work at the

Group Leader - Developmental Biology |
The **Developmental Biology (DB)** Unit is recruiting a new group leader
taking an original approach to elucidate principles underlying multicellular
development. Of particular interest are questions relating to the emergence of
a dynamic organization, at all scales, and how the interplay between living
systems and their internal and external environment impacts the development of
pattern, size and shape. We also welcome applications that propose to study
the cellular and molecular bases of developmental and phenotypic plasticity
and their role in evolutionary innovations. A related topic of key interest is
the developmental biology of symbionts/holobionts. The unit is keen to recruit
colleagues taking a purely theoretical and modeling approach to understand
biological complexity (see EMBL new theme ‘[Theory@EMBL](mailto:Theory@EMBL)’
below).
Colleagues in the EMBL DB unit provide a highly interactive, stimulating
environment and enjoy extensive collaborations across all of EMBL. They use
cutting-edge combinations of quantitative experimentation, genetics, imaging
and -omics approaches, synthetic biology, reduced (in vitro) systems to create
an integrative approach to modern developmental biology. The unit collaborates
closely with the animal facility (mouse house, aquatic (freshwater) and marine
facility) and has the goal to refine established, and develop new research
models suitable for tackling fundamental questions outlined above.
### Your role
You will lead a research group to pursue highly ambitious and original
research at the frontier of developmental biology. The new colleague will be
immersed in the EMBL environment, with extensive in-house collaborations,
access to excellent graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, and support
from cutting-edge facilities and services, including genomics, genome
editing/transgenesis, metabolomics, mass-spectrometry, and microscopy. |

Scientific framework
Laser additive manufacturing is rapidly penetrating the industry. These
methods are among the most widely used additive manufacturing processes for
steel parts, due to their relative maturity and their ability to produce very
complex parts. It is therefore necessary to understand the physical phenomena
involved to ensure the quality and properties required for the produced parts.
These problems are also found in the study of the laser welding process, also
targeted in this study.
The state of the material of the parts produced by additive manufacturing
processes is strongly affected by the laser-material interaction and the
numerous parameters of the process such as the power of the laser source and
its stability, the scanning path and its speed, the gaseous environment, the
thickness of the material deposited at each layer... Moreover, the numerous
parameters strongly influence the thermal behavior and can cause the
appearance of defects: high roughness and surface defects, cracking,
delamination between layers, micro-structural heterogeneities or anisotropies
of thermophysical and mechanical properties.
It is necessary to develop validated predictive tools to better control the
process and provide assistance in the design of parts.
The simulation of additive manufacturing or welding processes involves the
resolution of highly coupled multiphysics problems as well as very varied time
and space scales. The monolithic simulation of these processes, carried out at
the finest time and space scales in order to guarantee the predictivity of the
obtained results, leads to very important and even prohibitive calculation
times. In order to limit the computation time, simplifying assumptions can be
made on the physical phenomena at stake as well as on the levels of coupling
between the physics. Nevertheless, these simplifications affect the
predictivity of the results and their exploitation in the optimization of the
process parameters.
Mission
In this context, the person recruited will develop a computational strategy
that will allow, for multiphysics problems, to control the accuracy and
predictivity of numerical results while ensuring computation times compatible
with the use of such tools in an industrial context.
More precisely, this work aims at developing a generic tool allowing to couple
different simulated physics, each with the time and space discretization the
most adapted to the characteristic times and dimensions of the phenomena at
stake. The challenge is then to develop coupling tools between the physics
that allow to guarantee and transfer the physically relevant quantities
between numerical models. In a complementary way, it can be envisaged to
replace certain physics (or "blocks of physics") by reduced models.
The objective of the work is to demonstrate the relevance of such an approach
based on a case study well mastered and representative of the problem. The
developments will be carried out within Comsol Multiphysics by potentially
using the JAVA language or by coupling Comsol Multiphysics with other
programming environments (Matlab, Python, ...) with the perspective of an
application to the case of welding processes and/or additive manufacturing.
Principal activities
* Develop a computational strategy for multiphysics problems
* Ensure the numerical implementation of the developed method
* Propose field transfer operators between numerical models and reduced order models
* Validate the developments from complete simulations on a case study
* Write progress reports and promote the work through communications and publications
* Participate in the various meetings of the project and of the FuseMétal joint laboratory
* Present the results of the project |

2 postdocs in immunology virology aging, Manel lab, Institut Curie, Paris,
france |
**Context:**
The intracellular innate immune system is essential to detect pathogens but it
also contributes to mechanisms of aging. While innate sensors in the cytosol
are well characterized, the presence of innate sensors in the nucleus has
recently emerged. A major question is to understand how the nuclear innate
immune system works during viral infections and aging. The approaches used in
the lab involve primary human and mouse immune cells and cutting-edge
techniques in single cell approaches (sequencing and microfluidics), imaging
(live imaging and super-resolution microscopy), virology, chromatin analyses,
CRISPR/Cas9 approaches, cytometry and biochemistry.
**Postdoc description:**
We are seeking postdoc candidates who are interested in investigating the role
of viral sensors in vivo (postdoc 1) or mechanisms of aging immunity in vivo
(postdoc 2). The two projects involve novel mouse models already available in
the lab.
**Environment:**
The applicant will benefit from a highly collaborative and international
environment at Institut Curie (>1000 researchers, 13 departments, 95 teams).
The Manel lab is associated with the Immunity and Cancer Department (9 teams).
Institut Curie provides access to state-of-the-art platforms and technical
support. Institut Curie is located at the heart of Paris, in a scientifically
and culturally rich and unique environment.
**To apply:**
submit a cover letter containing a statement of interests and future goals, a
CV with a list of publications and names of two references from mentors to
[nicolas.manel@curie.fr](mailto:nicolas.manel@curie.fr).

Assistant Professor in Software Engineering |
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science seeks to hire an
outstanding faculty member within the field of Software Engineering.
Position: Assistant Professor
Department(s): Mathematics and Computer Science
FTE: 1,0
Date off: 19/09/2021
Reference number: V32.5090
[APPLY NOW](https://jobs.tue.nl/en/vacancy/assistant-professor-in-software-
engineering-885683.html#)
## Job description
_Are you inspired to work for an exciting new project within the Software
Engineering and Technology cluster (SET)? We are looking for an enthusiastic
faculty member who will lead this new project as Assistant Professor._
As part of its strategy, the SET group has developed a ‘moonshot’-project: to
develop an ‘Intelligent Assistant for Software Developers’. Such an
intelligent assistant should be able to answer various questions from
developers about the system under development. We will focus on questions that
relate to the design and architecture of the system, such as for example:
“Where is this feature implemented in this system?”, and “Does this API
support proper Information Hiding?”
To answer such questions, we have developed a roadmap. For this roadmap, we
want to build an ecosystem of technologies and tools around the following
theme’s:
* Knowledge Mining – this includes techniques for mining knowledge from the large variety of sources in software project: sources include natural language (e.g. Requirements and Architecture Descriptions using Natural Language Processing), source code and (UML) models of the design (e.g. for reconstructing Implementation-Architecture mappings) as well as artefacts reflecting communication and collaboration between software developers (e.g., version control systems, groupware or public Q&A forums).
* Knowledge Representation – All the information found about a system will be collected in a central knowledge repository using techniques like ontologies and knowledge-graphs.
* Innovative techniques for analysing/reasoning and exploration of systems – this includes techniques for reasoning about (architecture) design principles (such as e.g. layering, modularity, information hiding) and their impact on such quality aspects of software systems as correctness, evolution, fairness and sustainability.
* More user-centric and more intuitive interaction such as use of voice and touch for SE-tools, as well as smart software-visualisation tools.
All of these technologies/tools are targeted at supporting engineers in
developing software systems. We look for candidates that can contribute to
these theme’s (priority is on the first 3 themes: Mining, Representation and
Reasoning).
The SET cluster at TU/e has a strong track record in empirical software
engineering research in such areas as software architecture, model-based
software development, mining software repositories and social aspects of
software engineering. The SET group has many collaborations with companies in
the Eindhoven region, in The Netherlands and in Europe. SET actively
participates in the major SE conferences, including ICSE, ICSA, ICSME, MODELS,
MSR, Euromicro-SEAA.
**Applicants should**
* have obtained **** PhD in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or comparable domain.
* indicate their ability to provide high quality education, as shown by experience or assistance in teaching and positive evaluations of these teaching efforts.
* be proficient in English, orally and in writing.
**As part of their position as an Assistant Professor at SET the candidate is
expected to**
* Contribute to the recruitment of second and third flow of funds (i.e. public and private funding);
* Co-supervise academic personnel in carrying out research;
* Contribute and/or provide leadership to working groups, committees or project teams in the department.
* Establish a strong industry network; proven by joint collaborations, projects, and publications.
* Excell in communication, organization, and leadership skills demonstrating the potential of building your own research team.

Context:
\- The synthesis of recursive algorithms from formal specifications can be
carried out using relational algebra results that enable the "fine tuning" of
the recursive steps towards executability and the production of the desired
results.
\- Two relational operators, known as "shrinking" and "thinning", play an
essential role in this process, leading to so-called "greedy" or "dynamic"
algorithms.
The main tasks of the project are:
\- compile a taxonomy of problems commonly known as "optimization" or "dynamic
programming" problems
\- derive generic (parametric) solutions for classes of such problems that,
formally calculated in relational algebra, are "correct by construction"

Energy Innovation: Fully Funded KESS II MSc by Research Scholarship: Design
study on increasing the efficiency of fridges through the application of
carbon nanotubes |
***This scholarships is part funded by the Welsh Government’s European Social
Fund (ESF) convergence programme for East Wales.***
**Start date:** October 2021
Using carbon nanotube materials that were made via chemical recycling of waste
plastic materials, the research will create devices to improve the capacity
and efficiency of refrigeration devices. This proposal is about increasing
energy efficiency of refrigeration devices. The devices will be based on the
use of carbon nanotubes. Researchers at Swansea University’s Energy Safety
Research Institute (ESRI) have developed protocols for making carbon nanotubes
via a chemical recycling process. In particular, the process involves the use
of waste plastics and mixed plastics as carbon source for the synthesis of
carbon nanotubes, wherein the plastics are sourced from healthcare products.
This work will use nanotubes made from healthcare plastic materials to test
for improvements in the efficiency of fridges.
Carbon nanotubes are interesting materials due to their unique heat transfer
properties. Refrigeration units work by changing the state of a material from
a liquid to a vapour, and vice versa. The expansion and contraction of the
material between the liquid and vapour state causes temperature changes and
this temperature change is how fridges operate. The most efficient systems can
accomplish this by using the least amount of energy and in an economic
standpoint, by lasting the longest amount of time. Refrigeration requires two
reversible physical processes to occur, i.e. condensation and evaporation.
Firstly, materials condense on a surface and that process is improved by
having materials with larger surface areas. Then, evaporation occurs to change
the state back to vapour. This state change occurs when heat conducts from the
surface of the heating element to the fluid material and this process is
improved by using materials with high heat transfer coefficients. The
efficiency of the device is also improved if the lifetime can be extended
several years, this can be achieved by using a sturdy material such as carbon
nanotubes.
This work will be done in two phases, firstly a full set of design parameters
will be tested and calculated to determine the maximum efficiencies when using
carbon nanotubes as the phase change medium in the various configurations.
This work can be done as working from home if needed.
In the second phase, the student would create a refrigeration device and use
carbon nanotubes that are created at ESRI to confirm initial values.
In conclusion, this work can prevent the build-up of material in landfill
sites, thus decreasing environmental impact of plastic refuse in the
environment. Moreover, this work will contribute a carbon neutral economy both
by sinking carbon into a functional material, and by using that functional
material to decrease energy demand via improved efficiencies.
Scholarships are collaborative awards with external partners including SMEs
and micro companies, as well as public and third sector organisations. The
scholarship provides 1 year funding with a 3 month period to complete the
thesis. The achievement of a postgraduate skills development award, PSDA, is
compulsory for each KESS II scholar and is based on a 40 credit award. |

Mathematical and computational approaches for analysis and control of complex
dynamical systems |
The mathematical modeling of complex engineering and biological systems
naturally leads to a decomposition into simpler subsystems. Modelling the
dynamics of subsystems typically leads to differential equations, while their
interconnections give rise to algebraic equations. Furthermore, the fact that
the transfer of material, energy and information (i.e. signal transmission)
between subsystems is mostly not instantaneous, may be modeled by delay
elements. All these model components can be integrated into one so-called
Delay-Differential Algebraic Equation (DDAE) model. DDAE models are extremely
flexible and amenable for a systematic and automated modeling procedure, at
the basis of simulation, monitoring, prediction and control, yet what hinders
a widespread use it that, inherently to the rich and sometimes non-trivial
behavior of their solutions, there are still many open questions and
mathematical challenges to be overcome, on which the project focuses.
The PhD program will be built around three pillars. The first one concerns
investigating theoretical properties of the models and developing of
mathematical analysis methods (to assess, for example, the stability of the
modeled system or its performance). The second pillar concerns uncertainty
quantification, i.e., assessing the impact of modeling errors on the results
of the analysis, thereby respecting and exploiting the structure of the
overall system. Within the third pillar, the aim is to make the leap from
analysis to the design of feedback controllers. Here, we assume that the
described physical system can be actuated and that online measurements are
available, which can then be used to alter the performance, robustness or
resilience of the system in a desirable or optimal way. The design of the
control law, which translates the measurements into the actuation, will be
mainly model based, but complementary data-driven design methods and
implementations will also be explored.
The focus of the over arching project will be on mathematical / algorithmic
innovations and control theory, but a close link with engineering applications
will be ensured throughout its execution, which enables a validation of the
results and may inspire novel research questions. In this respect, the PhD
project benefits from the unique position of the hosting NUMA section of KU
Leuven as a very large applied mathematics center operating within a Faculty
of Engineering Science, and it is well integrated with the many collaborations
and ongoing projects on both the methodological and application side.
Prerequisites are a solid basis knowledge of linear algebra and differential
equations, a strong interest in a mathematically oriented project, enthusiasm
and a critical mindset. Familiarity with control theory and good programming
skills are not required but may be an advantage. |

Energy Innovation: Fully Funded KESS II MSc by Research Scholarship: Upcycling
surgical facemasks to carbon nanotube wires |
***This scholarships is part funded by the Welsh Government’s European Social
Fund (ESF) convergence programme for East Wales.***
**Start date:** October 2021
Given the recent high demand for surgical masks there is a need to find an end
of life plan that can prevent landfilling. Researchers at Swansea University’s
Energy Safety Research Institute (ESRI) will carry out work to prevent the
disposal of healthcare products to landfill. Currently, these materials have
one life and are then discarded in landfill sites. However, ESRI researcher Dr
Alvin Orbaek White has developed new and novel technology that can [convert
these materials into electrical conduction
cables](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dXl2W4NjOk&feature=youtu.be). In
short, this work can prevent the build-up of material in landfill sites,
causing psychological relive to patients, and it can also decrease the costs
to the industrial sponsor and the lower the negative impact to the environment
as a whole.
PPE materials are essentially made of plastic layer and thin films. Plastics
are made of carbon and so are carbon nanotubes, graphene and carbon fibre. We
are using waste plastic materials as feedstock to make carbon nanomaterials.
On a weight/weight basis that is creating a ~100 fold increase in value for
the same carbon. Plus, it could have untold positive environmental impact too.
The research will be carried in two tandem paths.
**Path one:** the researcher will carry out chemical reactions in order to
prepare plastic materials for chemical recycling. Chemical recycling entails
the use of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process to create carbon
nanotubes, and/or graphene. In particular, the researcher will focus on
developing a simple, single protocol for converting mixed streams of plastics
(and similar materials) into nanomaterials. Materials are characterized using
scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric
analysis. All skills, training, and background will be delivered to the
researcher. This path will be lab based at ESRI.
**Path two:** the experimental work will be complimented by use of modelling
software. Software such as Ansys and Comsol will be used to study this process
by making a digital twin of the process. This work is therefore compliant with
needs to work from home if necessary but it can be carried out within the ESRI
office space too.
**NOTE:** The Interior of ESRI was designed to ensure an open-space
environment. Therefore, it is optimum to allow safe environment including
working at social distancing as required by COVID-19. The laboratory benches
are situated 4m apart allowing for excellent EHS practices. It has a 50% lower
density of desk space within its hub (2nd floor) than the rest of Bay Campus,
that allows for social distancing without alteration.
**Risk mitigation:** This project has been created with potential
interruptions due to COVID-19 in mind. The modelling work can be carried out
remotely through VPN access to Swansea University’s servers and software. The
laboratory work will be carried out when it is safe, and will be first
informed by the modelling processes.
Scholarships are collaborative awards with external partners including SMEs
and micro companies, as well as public and third sector organisations. The
scholarship provides 1 year funding with a 3 month period to complete the
thesis. The achievement of a postgraduate skills development award, PSDA, is
compulsory for each KESS 2 EAST scholar and is based on a 40 credit award. |

Materials/ Chemical Engineering: Fully Funded KESS II MSc by Research
Scholarship: Cadmium Metal Mine Pollutant Removal through Nano-adsorbents and
their Recovery for Photocatalysis Applications |
***This scholarships is part funded by the Welsh Government’s European Social
Fund (ESF) convergence programme for West Wales and the Valleys.***
**MSc by Research Scholarship for UK or EU applicants in the field of** :
Materials/Chemicals Engineering
**Start date:** October 2021
The aim of this project is to develop recyclable nanofilter to recover as
during treatment targeted pollutants from metal mine water discharges and gain
their utilisation in other commodity valuable applications.
The heavy metal pollution in water has a significant negative impact on water
quality and ecological health of our waterbodies, which influences individual
and community well-being, and economic development. The continual release of
metals from underground workings through point source discharges as acid mine
drainage and as diffuse source discrete discharges from spoil heaps and
erosion of contaminated sediment cause derogation of quality on our surface
and ground waterbodies. The removal of heavy metals is globally a high
priority topic. So far, several conventional technologies such as chemical
precipitation, adsorption, membrane filtration, and biological treatment have
been applied for sequestration of heavy metal ions from water. Adsorption has
proven to be one of the most attractive options, but developing a specific
sorbent for particular metal ion pollutants is a crucial factor in adsorption
process. Developing less expensive and durable adsorption filters remains a
challenge. In this project, we will develop low cost, bio-waste derived nano-
adsorbent for filtering priority substance cadmium from metal mine discharges.
This part will be collaborative work with Natural Resources Wales and
University College of London. Later, the possibility of these metal mine
pollutant coated filters will be tested in photocatalysis applications (fuel
generation, environmental clean-up).
The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Dr Sudhagar
Pitchaimuthu and [Dr Moritz F.
Kuehnel](https://www.swansea.ac.uk/staff/science/chemistry/kuehnelmf/). The
project will involve both lab and field based studies. The student will have
the opportunity to acquire a range of skill sets including nanomaterial
synthesis, chemical analysis (GC-MS, HPLC) from other collaborators
(University College of London). The successful student will also utilise our
world-class facilities available at SPECIFIC, College of Engineering, Swansea
University.
This R&D is particularly attractive as recyclable, nanofilters can be widely
applied in water treatment, energy, environmental clean-up and energy
applications.
Scholarships are collaborative awards with external partners including SMEs
and micro companies, as well as public and third sector organisations. The
scholarship provides 1 year funding with a 3 month period to complete the
thesis. The achievement of a postgraduate skills development award, PSDA, is
compulsory for each KESS 2 scholar and is based on a 40 credit award. |

Fellowships Käte Hamburger Kolleg Münster “Legal Unity and Pluralism” |
The Käte Hamburger Kolleg „Einheit und Vielfalt im Recht“ (EViR, ‘Legal Unity
and Pluralism‘) at the University of Münster is inviting applications for
fellowships (6-12 months).
The Käte Hamburger Kolleg ‘Legal Unity and Pluralism’ examines phenomena of
unresolved simultaneity of legal unity and pluralism from a genuinely
historical perspective. Its main hypothesis is that legal pluralism should not
be regarded as a sign of deficient law or a dysfunctional legal praxis (of
earlier historical periods) but as a structural characteristic of law per se.
The project opens up unusual perspectives on the understanding of law and
society in general and the (legal) ways of dealing with forms of cultural
diversity in particular. The goal of the Kolleg is to develop and to test a
historically informed descriptive and analytical model in a cooperation
between the Fellows and the Münster scholars. In this manner, the Kolleg will
assess the interrelations of legal unity and pluralism afresh and offer a new
analytical approach to diverse phenomena of coexistence for discussion.
We invite (legal) historians, scholars of applied law, ethnology, sociology,
theology, literary studies as well as Jewish and Islamic studies. The fellows’
projects should exhibit clear relevance for both the general aims of the Käte
Hamburger Kolleg as well as the respective annual themes. These themes are:
2021/22: Exceptions and Plurality.
2022/23: Modes of Standardisation.
2023/24: Causes of Plurality.
2024/25: Dynamism and Stability.
In this context, we are currently especially interested in a) research
projects with a high historical depth, b) research projects from the field of
social science with a major focus on theory and c) research projects from the
field of law.
For further information on the Kolleg’s research agenda see: [www.evir-
muenster.de](http://www.evir-muenster.de)
YOUR TIME AT THE KOLLEG
During your time as a fellow you are expected to be an active participant in
the activities and events hosted by the Kolleg. You will be given the
opportunity to present your project in a Fellow-Lecture during your
fellowship. At the end of your fellowship, your research findings should
published as a journal article or a comparable publication. In addition,
sources presented by the Fellows in joint reading sessions shall be included
with brief explanations in a multilingual source reader.
In Münster, we offer an inspiring research atmosphere in an interdisciplinary
and international setting with many opportunities for collaboration and
intellectual exchange with scholars at the Kolleg. You are also encouraged to
contribute to the events programme of the Kolleg by proposing a workshop that
can be organised in cooperation with our team either during or after your
fellowship. However, the central aim of the fellowship is to give you
sufficient time to focus on your research topic.
DURATION
We encourage applications for 6-12 month fellowships. The commencement as well
as the actual duration of the fellowship will be discussed with the successful
applicant. Please state when you plan to stay in Münster in your application.
We currently expect to repeat the call for applications approximately every
six months, and are now taking applications for fellowships up to 2025.
STIPEND
Fellows who take unpaid leave during their fellowship will receive financial
compensation in form of a stipend. Alternatively, the Kolleg pays for a
teaching replacement at the fellow’s home institution. Please note, that
stipends can only be paid if you are released by your university from any
other obligations during your fellowship.
Fellows are expected to routinely conduct their work from Münster during their
fellowship and to participate in the programme and the social life at the
Kolleg. The Kolleg can support fellows in the search for accommodation.
However, accommodation costs cannot be covered by the Käte Hamburger Kolleg.
The Kolleg covers one-time travel costs to and from Münster. We will provide a
fully furnished office and organisational help with visa applications and
finding accommodation.
German and English are the working languages at the Kolleg.
HOW TO APPLY
Prospective fellows must have completed their doctoral studies and possess
exceptional expertise in the research field of the Kolleg.
Please email your application including the following documents as one .pdf to
[info.evir@uni-muenster.de](mailto:info.evir@uni-muenster.de) until
30.09.2021.
Further Fellowships are currently expected to be advertised approximately
every six months. Your application must include the following documents:
PROJECT PROPOSAL – C. 1000 WORDS
The proposal should outline the proposed research project and demonstrate the
relevance to the Käte Hamburger Kolleg ‘Legal Unity and Pluralism‘ as well as
the respective annual theme. It should also show the project’s relevance and
contribution to current academic debates and identify the intended aims of the
successful fellowship.
WORK SCHEDULE – C. 500 WORDS
The work schedule should convey a rough idea of how the fellow intends to
organise their time at the Kolleg.

59292: PhD student mathematics, statistics or similar (f/m/x) - Environmental
Stressors and Pandemics |
**Area of research:**
Other,PHD Thesis
**Part-Time Suitability:**
The position is suitable for part-time employment.
**Job description:**
The susceptibility to contagious respiratory diseases depends, among other
things, on the air quality. Accordingly, it can be assumed that diseases can
spread to different degrees in areas with different air quality. In Germany,
too, the air quality is neither spatially nor temporally constant, but varies
greatly depending on emissions and meteorology. Against the background of the
Covid-19 pandemic, these relationships are of great interest. Initial
publications suggest that the spread of Covid-19 infections is facilitated by
fine dust.
As part of a DFG project, the relationship between air quality and infections
with influenza or COVID-19 is being investigated on the basis of health data
from Baden-Württemberg. The statistical analysis of these disease data in
connection with historical air quality data form the basis for the position
advertised here. The aim is to investigate the influence of fine dust on
influenza and Covid-19 infections, as well as the possible influences of other
stressors such as nitric oxide, sulfur dioxide and temperature. For this
purpose, suitable statistical models should be selected and adapted to the
available data. The results will then be used within the DFG project, among
other things, to adapt dispersion models to the available data.
The DLR offers doctoral students comprehensive and interdisciplinary training
in various areas. The scientific training takes place in cooperation with
various universities in a dynamic and excellent scientific environment at the
most modern facilities and within the framework of pioneering, innovative
projects. Postgraduate students will learn how to develop integrated concepts
to explore health issues in aviation and manned spaceflight, as well as
related disease patterns on Earth. In addition, the conditions for life in
extreme environments are researched in order to better understand the earth's
ecosystem and to enable the search for life on other planets in manned and
unmanned missions.
**Your tasks:**
Your task as a doctoral candidate in the project will be the statistical
analysis of the available environmental and disease data. The focus is on
Covid-19 and influenza. In particular, a comparison of these two infections is
of interest in order to be able to draw possible conclusions for future
pandemics.
**Our offer:**
* a doctoral position according to TVöD (E13 / 2)
* a state-of-the-art research environment
* effective support from a team consisting of two supervisors and a mentor
* an interdisciplinary training program
* Cologne - a lively city with a rich cultural life, successful scientific centers of innovation and a dynamic corporate world
**Please send us:**
* motivation letter
* curriculum vitae with certificates

neuroimaging methods and one specific aim of this project is to develop
neurofeedback protocols that can be used in the treatment of disordered
desires, for example in the context of eating disorders.
**Research method:** You will analyse fMRI data using Multi-Voxel Pattern
Analyses (MVPA) and Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA), which decode
information content in the brain, to answer the crucial question of how food
and other motivational stimuli are represented as distributed brain activity
in the brain. You will also apply uni- and multivariate real-time fMRI
analysis in order to provide neurofeedback for the self-regulation training of
the relevant brain networks and use ecological momentary assessments to
evaluate effects on symptom networks.
**Your job:** You will be responsible for programming the experimental
protocols and test the participants. You will be trained on how to use our MRI
facilities. Next, you will analyse both fMRI and behavioural data, and publish
your results in scientific journals, and write a doctoral dissertation based
on your research.
**Embedding** : Maastricht University is the leading institution of the
Gravitation project, heading an interdisciplinary team with staff members of
Dutch universities, divided over 6 teams. This PhD position is embedded in
‘team disordered desires’, and will be based at the Maastricht Brain Imaging

Asst./Assoc. Professor Power Quality in Electrochemical energy conversion
processes |
As an Assistant/Associate Professor, affiliated to the e-Refinery research
programme, your focus will be on the following tasks:
Develop a new research line in the field of the sustainable production of
chemicals and fuels through large-scale conversion of renewable electricity
into molecular bonds (e-Refinery). The focus will be on innovative theoretical
and experimental research on design and control of high power (high current)
electrochemical power electronic devices for large scale electrochemical
conversion processes. This control has to result in high power quality in
electrical networks for powering the electrochemical devices, while on the
other hand delivering the highest possible efficiency in the conversion
process. Breakthroughs are expected from system integration of the
electrochemical devices with sustainable energy generation (wind and solar),
advanced real-time control, and methods to increase reliability and
availability. Since the e-Refinery activities are organised as a cross-faculty
initiative, close cooperation with researchers dealing with Materials,
Catalysts, Electrochemistry, Energy Technology & System Engineering, Process
and System Integration, as well as Societal Embedding is anticipated and
expected.
Education: Contributions to teaching in the BSc Electrical Engineering
programme and the MSc Electrical Sustainable Energy programme and Electrical
Power Engineering, with a focus on electrical sustainable energy and
integration of storage.
Management: Acquisition and management of national and international research
projects. Establishing strong collaborations with academic and industrial
partners.
Participation in international bodies such as IEEE. A holistic approach, in
which design, implementation, deployment, and analysis are integrated, is
strongly
desired; we expect the applicant to actively collaborate with other
researchers from academia and industry to realise this aim.
About the research programme and the department:
The energ transition has far-stretching implications for chemical companies.
e-Refinery at TU Delft enables industry partners to start building the
required technology capacity and human capital as soon as possible.
Researchers in the e-Refinery initiative focus their research on the
electrochemical conversion of sustainable electricity into fuels and chemical
building blocks, from the molecular scale to large-scale system integration.
Implementing e-Refinery will serve three important challenges that the society
is facing: CO2 neutral Fuel, seasonal energy storage and a defossilized
chemical industry.
The research in the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy is inspired by
the technical, scientific and societal challenges originating from the
transition towards a more sustainable society and focuses on three areas:
* DC Systems, Energy Conversion and Storage (DCE&S)
* Photovoltaic Materials and Devices (PVMD)
* Intelligent Electrical Power Grids (IEPG) |

PhD Position Hydraulic Structures (Piping Erosion) |
Most of the flood prone cities around the world relay on natural and man-made
flood defences to protect themselves against coastal and riverine flood
events. While many of the deterioration mechanisms which may compromise the
stability of these structures are well understood, backward piping erosion is
still one of the most difficult failure mechanisms to model and predict making
it one the biggest threats for flood defence systems. The two main reasons for
this are that a) flood defence structures such as dikes are often funded over
highly heterogeneous soil systems which are difficult to represent and b) the
available computational models for correctly representing the process and its
inherited heterogeneities are still highly computationally demanding.
Significant numerical advances, systems safety assessment studies and case
databases are already available regarding backward piping erosion in dikes but
there is still a big knowledge gap in how to combine and harmonize these data
sets and models to produce more robust methods for its deterministic and
probabilistic assessment. In the actual state of the art of machine learning,
methods like semi-supervised learning, deep learning and reinforces learning
open a window of opportunities to produce more robust models when combining
multiple sources of information.
For these reasons, the PhD intended research aims to improve the modelling and
probabilistic prediction of piping erosion by combining detailed physically
based models with other sources of information with the help of machine
learning techniques so that piping erosion modelling accuracy and detail are
improved while making them computationally feasible for probabilistic
assessment of dike safety against backward piping erosion. It is expected that
the actual state of the art for better representing this failure mechanism
will significantly improve while making it more accessible for the actual
hydraulic and geotechnical engineering by developing open-source codes and
robust design rules.
The project will be developed as part of the research lines of the Hydraulic
Structures and Flood Risk section in the Hydraulic Engineering department at
TU Delft, under the supervision of Dr. Juan Pablo Aguilar-López and Prof. Dr.
Bas Jonkman. Throughout the project, you will be given the opportunity to work
with leading academic and industrial partners, both in the Netherlands and
abroad. |

PhD position Max-SCORE – Shifting the limits of scrap usage in steelmaking
converters to minimize CO2 emissions |
With maximized scrap charging, especially low quality steel scrap, together
with HIsarna ironmaking, the steel company wants to substantially reduce the
primary raw material consumption and increase production of high quality
products from scrap. The project aims to better understand the dynamic melting
and refining behavior of scrap in complex shapes and sizes together with blast
furance and HIsarna hot metal; to develop a DEM-CFD based scrap charging,
melting and refining model for the converter process; to validate with plant
data and provide the theoretical and practical guidance to reach the above
goals. The outcome of the project will be used to widen the raw materials and
operating window of scrap addition to the state-of-the-art oxygen steelmaking
converters; to maximize the usage of lower quality scrap from the scrap
market, without compromising the steel quality and process stability; to
implement optimized scrap charging strategies to the converter operation; and
finally to increase the recyclability of the lower quality scrap and further
reduce CO2 emissions in the steelmaking process.
The research will be conducted at the research group of [Metals Production,
Refining and Recycling](https://www.tudelft.nl/3me/over/afdelingen/materials-
science-and-engineering/research/metals-production-refining-and-recycling)
(MPRR), Department of Materials Science and Engineering of TU Delft, in close

PhD position Bimanual manipulation of variable and deformable objects |
This PhD project tackles the challenge of how to deal with variation,
deformability and flexibility in agro-food. Many harvesting and food
processing tasks require two separate robots, e.g., when the product needs to
be grasped first before it can be manipulated (bimanual manipulation).
Efficient processing requires a joint optimization of the overall plan and
runtime coordination of the perception and control in both arms.
During this PhD, you will develop control approaches capable of dealing with
the intricate and uncertain interaction mechanics during processing natural
products. You will investigate the boundary between control theory and machine
learning, so as to equip robots with the ability of performing these actions
with the necessary flexibility, but without learning times incompatible with
practical implementations.
This project will have real-world validation within agricultural and food
processing robotics, in the context of the FlexCRAFT project
(). |

Postdoc Deep Learning for Human-Robot Interaction |
This project will focus on various aspects of human robot interaction
leveraging deep learning methods. Robots can learn to interact with humans but
also from interactions with humans. In both cases understanding human behavior
is crucial. Human state and intentions are very ambiguous and uncertain,
fusing information from multiple sensing and input modalities might allow the
robot to disambiguate. For example, in imitation learning approaches
instructions from one modality typically are not complete. Here the challenge
lies in learning which information, from which modality is relevant for the
task, and which is not.
This vacancy is part of the project Open Deep Learning Toolkit for Robotics
(OpenDR) . The aim of OpenDR is to develop a modular, open
and non-proprietary deep learning toolkit for robotics. We will provide a set
of software functions, packages and utilities to help roboticists develop and
test robotic applications that incorporate deep learning. OpenDR will enable
linking robotics applications to software libraries such as TensorFlow and the
ROS operating environment. We focus on the AI and cognition core technology in
order to give robotic systems the ability to interact with people and
environments by means of deep-learning methods for active perception,
cognition and decisions making. OpenDR will enlarge the range of robotics
applications making use of deep learning, which will be demonstrated in the
applications areas of healthcare, agri-food and agile production. The project
is funded by the EU Horizon 2020 program, call H2020-ICT-2018-2020
(Information and Communication Technologies), 2019 – 2023.
The main focus of the Cognitive Robotics department is the development of
intelligent robots and vehicles that will advance mobility, productivity and
quality of life. Our mission is to bring robotic solutions to human-inhabited
environments, focusing on research in the areas of machine perception, motion
planning and control, machine learning, automatic control and physical
interaction of intelligent machines with humans. We combine fundamental
research with work on physical demonstrators in areas such as self-driving
vehicles, collaborative industrial robots, mobile manipulators and haptic
interfaces. Strong collaborations exist with cross-faculty institutes TU Delft
Robotics Institute and TU Delft Transport Institute), our national robotic
ecosystem (RoboValley, Holland Robotics) and international industry and
academia. |

PhD fellowship (Fish Health) in RASOPTA at the Department of Veterinary and
Animal Sciences, University of Copenhagen |
A 3-year PhD fellowship is available at the **Department of Veterinary and
Animal Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark** , with an
expected start January 1st 2022.
The fellowship is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No
956481.
**About RASOPTA**
The RASOPTA consortium consists of enthusiastic academic researchers and
innovative non-academic partners. The consortium will together train a new
generation of scientists with expertise in sustainable and healthy fish
production based on a minimum of water consumption. Production of fish in
recirculated aquaculture systems (RAS) requires experiences from several
scientific disciplines, but there is need to bridge existing knowledge gaps
and connect expertise in different branches to ensure a high water quality,
healthy and non-stressed fish, and a supreme consumer quality of the fish.
Therefore, in RASOPTA state-of-the-art training within disciplines relevant
for RAS technology will be provided by 10 universities/research institutions
and 8 non-academic partners in 8 countries. The project will improve microbial
processes in RAS securing a high water quality, develop systems to identify
flavour compounds that may affect consumer preference for RAS fish, and ensure
optimal health and welfare of the fish. The research also aims at developing a
DNA-based chip for early warning of quality and health of the fish. To reach
the interdisciplinary goals in RASOPTA, the consortium will train 12 Early
Stage Researchers (ESRs) in disciplines ranging from chemistry, microbiology
and molecular biology, to physiology and pathology of fish.
**About your project**
* _You will contribute to a focus area on fish health in work package 3 of the RASOPTA project with 4 other ESRs who are located in Spain (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, UAB), Faroe Islands (Faroese Food & Vet. Authority, FFVA), Hungary (Agrártudományi Kutatóközpont “Agricultural Research Center”, ATK) and Denmark (Technical University of Denmark, DTU). _
_To develop the DNA-based chip tool there is a need to correlate the amount of
DNA in water surrounding the fish (environmental DNA = eDNA) and correlate
this to the stage of disease in the fish and pathogen load. Therefore, the
candidate will conduct infection trials of rainbow trout and zebrafish in
controlled experimental settings with parasites and bacteria. The candidate
will do pathological examinations of the fish as well as quantifying pathogen
load and purifying and quantifying eDNA from the water._
* _The candidate will work in close contact with the ESR at DTU, who will develop the actual assays for the chip. The other ESRs in the project will contribute to the development of the chip with relevant assays and reference material. The candidate will focus on interpretation of eDNA in the water._
* _Mobility within the_ _Marie Skłodowska-Curie_ _project is of high importance, and you are therefore expected to spend approximately 10 months in total at three other universities (DTU (Denmark), UAB (Spain), UTAS (Tasmania)) and at one industrial partner (Atlantic Sapphire, Denmark). In some instances, time spent at other institutions may only be virtual._
* _The candidate will be enrolled at the Graduate Programme of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at the University of Copenhagen (_[ _https://isim.ku.dk/gpiid/_](https://isim.ku.dk/gpiid/) _). The graduate program requires the student to obtain 30 ECTS points during the three-year period in order to graduate._ _Mandatory training activities in RASOPTA will contribute 12 ECTS to the ESRs.

Postdoctoral position - Terahertz Metasurfaces for Detection of Viruses |
Position: _Post-doc_ in the NCN project SONATA BIS 10:
Terahertz Metasurfaces for Detection of Viruses and Other Biological
Substances,
PI of the project: _Maciej Sakowicz_ , PhD.
The project aims in realization of a prototype of detection system of
biomatter. Our goal is to study a possibility of trace detection of bio-
particles like for example viruses and proteins with terahertz metasurfaces
using our own terahertz optopair.
Detection of biomatter like viruses, proteins, etc. is of great importance for
life sciences, mainly biology, biomedicine, and pharmaceutics. The terahertz
(THz) band has some interesting features that make it an interesting and
emerging technological alternative in the field, therefore has high potential
in biosensing applications. The absorption of THz ray in molecular and
biomolecular systems is dominated by the excitation of intramolecular and
intermolecular vibrations, which make fingerprints in molecule and biomolecule
detections. Therefore not only we expect biomatter to influence the refractive
index but we expect resonances in THz range. THz metasurface biosensors have
been crucial in alleviating one of the biggest problems in THz biological
sensing, which is the stark difference between the typical size of
microorganisms (≈1 µm) and the wavelength at THz (≈30 to 1000 µm) that makes
this radiation insensitive to these small details. Metasurface biosensors hold
the promise to overcome these limitations taking advantage of the
unprecedented freedom to engineer the metasurface parts properly. THz
metamaterial sensing is not only signal-enhancing but also easy to operate,
which attracts significant attentions from researchers in diverse fields.
However, improving the sensitivity remains to be a challenge, partially due to
the limitations of THz sources and detectors. That is why in the same time we
will address in the project the problem, by constructing our own THz optopair,
basing on plasma wave THz FET detectors.
Description of the tasks in which the candidate will participate:
1\. Work in a bio-chemical BSL-2 laboratory, including:
\- microbiological growth (of bacteria / viruses / fungi),
\- primary cell cultures,
\- molecular biology and genetic methods, for example isolation of genetic
material, PCR and RT-PCR reactions,
\- working with antibodies,
\- immuno-enzymatic technics and/or label free investigation of interactions
(like SPR, QCM etc.).
2\. Ph.D. students supervision.
3\. Supervision of design and electromagnetic simulations of THz metasurfaces
in COMSOL Multiphysics software.
2\. Supervision of semiconductor processing of the devices (working in a
cleanroom);
3\. Performing electrical and high-frequency measurements for the
characterization of the devices;
4\. Formulation of conclusions up to the stage of independent preparation of
scientific publications and presentation of results at seminars and
conferences. |

PERSEUS - PhD Candidate in Digital Twin |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a
better world.
You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
The Department of Engineering Cybernetics has a vacancy for a PhD Candidate.
## About the position
Digital Twin can be defined as a virtual representation of a physical asset
enabled through data and simulators for real-time prediction, optimization,
monitoring, controlling, and improved decision making. Recent advances in
computational pipelines, multiphysics solvers, big data cybernetics, data
processing and management tools bring the promise of digital twins and their
impact on the society closer to reality.
Digital twinning is now an important and emerging trend in autonomous
transport. Also referred to as a computational megamodel, device shadow,
mirrored system, avatar or a synchronized virtual prototype, it is bound to
play a transformative role not only in how we design and operate cyber
physical intelligent systems, but also in how we advance the modularity of
multi-disciplinary systems to tackle fundamental barriers not addressed by the
current, evolutionary modeling practices. At the heart of digital twins are
real-time, accurate, generalizable, trustworthy and self-evolving models and
hence the focus of the research is placed here. More specifically the research
topic within the context will be to create better situational awareness for
autonomous ships by instilling physical realism into their digital twins
through:
* Developing tools and algorithms for better description and perception of the internal condition of the ship´s performance, condition of the various components of the ship etc.
* Developing tools and algorithms for better description and perception of the external environmental environment of the ship: eg-. Weather condition, state of the ocean
* Better comprehension of the immediate surrounding like how the other vessels, boats are communicating and maneuvering around.
* Predicting the situation on a short and long term horizon for better reactive and planned navigation
This PhD project is a part of the [PERSEUS doctoral
programme](https://www.ntnu.edu/perseus): A collaboration between NTNU-
Norway’s largest university, 11 top-level academic partners in 8 European
countries, and 8 industrial partners within sectors of high societal
relevance.
Within PERSEUS we will recruit 40 PhD candidates who want to contribute to a
smart, safe and sustainable future. We are looking for highly skilled PhD

* Internet of Things
* Extended Reality
* Information and Cyber Security
In addition, for this fellowship, the PERSEUS program is part of **SFI
Autoship** , a new 8-year research-based innovation Centre on autonomous
ships. The Centre will carry out research in the areas of autonomous
operations, digital infrastructure, human factors and remote operation
centres, safety assurance and sustainable operations. The Perseus thematical
areas are relevant for several research tasks in relation to ship situational
awareness, navigation, ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore- communication, port-to-
ship integration, and risk and safety monitoring and analysis. For more
information on SFI AutoShip please visit [www.ntnu.edu/sfi-
autoship](https://www.ntnu.edu/sfi-autoship).
All participants in the [PERSEUS network](https://www.ntnu.edu/perseus) bring
unique and important qualities with them into the doctoral programme. The
PERSEUS PhD candidates will have the opportunity to collaborate with
researchers in the partner institutions and in other project consortia, and

and latest advancements in ICT (automation, blockchains, Internet of Things,
big data, artificial intelligence, etc.) Energy informatics is an emerging
field that applies computational techniques such as big data, machine
learning, artificial intelligence, optimization, etc. for realizing
sustainable future energy systems (smart grids, smart homes, electric
vehicles, renewable energy, energy storage, flexibility services, local
markets, etc.).
The success of future power systems largely depends on the ability of the grid
to identify, activate, harness and exploit the distributed flexibility
potential offered by small-, medium- and large- scale producers/
consumers/prosumers and aggregators. Recently, there has been huge interest in
providing flexibility services to transmission grid operators through
aggregated and automated demand response, especially for frequency reserves in
the Nordic balancing markets.
In this context, the main task of the PhD candidate in the doctoral work will
be two-fold. First, to develop operational scheduling strategies for
aggregated demand response through dynamic resource allocation for catering to
stringent technical requirements of balancing markets. Second, to investigate
the effects of digitalization on market design and marketplaces based on
emerging enabling technologies (ICT) and decentralization initiatives.

You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the position
At the Department of Electronic Systems, we have a vacancy for a Ph.D.
candidate within the area of Real-time ship-shore radar network.
The key ambition of the project will be to develop an advanced real-time
network of shore based and ship-based maritime radars to assist monitoring and
guidance of autonomous ships. The Trondheim fjord was appointed as the world’s
first accredited test area for autonomous ships in 1996. As a part of building
this research facility, NTNU and SINTEF will establish a network of shore-
based maritime radars to be applied both for monitoring and guidance of
autonomous vessels and for research application within the fields of radar
scattering of sea surface, radar detection and tracking, and guidance/
control. The radars will be connected in a real-time network using 5G or
similar broadband radio systems. In addition, the network architecture will
allow for real-time interchange of radar data between ships and ship-shore.
All data will be jointly processed and stored in a shore-based server.
Resulting target tracks will be distributed to all ships in the area to
enhance the situation awareness for both manned and unmanned vessels.
The research and project work will put emphasis on developing efficient signal
processing and real-time communication architecture for exchange of data
between radar sites and users.
Activities and goals under the PhD-work will be:
* System studies and system architecture of the radar data processing chain and radar data distribution system with low latency.
* Developing advanced algorithms for radar detection, sea and rain clutter filtering, and target tracking based on low level data fusion from a multitude of ship-borne and shore-based radars.
* Design and specifications of the access and network protocols, in terms of satellite link characterization for availability, capacity and reliability.
* Experimental testing and verification of the network with real vessels in the fjord.
The goal will be to demonstrate the applicability of a complete radar network
both for maritime operations and for general research work.
The detailed contents of the Ph.D. studies and project work will to some
extent depend on the interests and background of the candidate, but the
candidate must have an academic background with main focus on radio/radar
systems and signal processing and associated technologies, as well as
communication systems.

PERSEUS – PhD Candidate on Social Robots to Support Daily Activities in Older
Adults in a Care Home |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a
better world.
You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the position
At the [Department of ICT and Natural Sciences](https://www.ntnu.edu/iir), we
have a vacancy for a Ph.D. candidate on Social Robots to Support Daily
Activities in Older Adults in a Care Home.
The PhD position is linked to the [social robots
lab](https://www.ntnu.edu/iir/srl#/view/about) in Ålesund, and [the NTNU
Health project EXACT](https://www.ntnu.edu/health/exergaming) in Trondheim.
By the year 2030, more than 15% of the world population will be aged 65 years
or more, and according to the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, by 2060
every fifth person in Norway will be aged 70 or over. As the life expectancy
and population of older adults increase, so does the collective need for
assistance and health care, resulting in new public health challenges.
Especially critical is the situation for older adults that live in care
facilities because of reduced physical and/or cognitive functioning. Here,
increased effort is needed to ensure their inclusion and participation without
adding to the workload of the staff. A promising solution to help overcome
these challenges is the use of AI and robotics to deliver and support
activities in several domains, such as physical exercises, cognitive games,
social engagement, and entertainment. Increased participation in these
activities can support their cognitive, social, and physical functioning and
increase their quality of life, without adding to the burden of health care
personnel. Therefore, the aim of this project is to identify the possible
benefits and challenges associated with the use of social robots and develop a
robot-based solution that can support the inclusion and activation of older
adults living in care facilities.
This PhD project is a part of the [PERSEUS doctoral
programme](https://www.ntnu.edu/perseus): A collaboration between NTNU -
Norway’s largest university, 11 top-level academic partners in 8 European

## About the position
At the Department of Information Security and Communications Technology we
have a vacancy for a PhD candidate in “Cyber-Security for Critical
Infrastructures Digital Twins”.
Digital twins have evolved from passive monitoring and state estimation
systems to integrated sociotechnical mechanisms that are essential for
strategic modeling and planning, as well as operational real-time monitoring
and control of cyber-physical systems. In order to support these
functionalities, the operation of digital twins relies heavily on maintaining
fidelity and synchronization with the production systems to which they are
targeted. This is particularly important in safety-critical systems, from
power station generators to manufacturing systems or production facilities in
the oil and gas industry.
The research will be carried out within the context of [SFI
NORCICS,](https://www.ntnu.edu/norcics) the new 8-year research-based
innovation Norwegian Center for Cybersecurity in Critical Sectors. These
sectors include electricity production and distribution, oil & gas production
and distribution, manufacturing, healthcare, industrial production, financial
services, transportation, smart districts. NORCICS follows a holistic,
comprehensive and systemic approach addressing people, processes and
technology to protect critical sectors throughout the cybersecurity core
functions (identify, protect, detect, respond, recover). NORCICS has partners
from academia, research, the public sector and the industry.
This PhD project is a part of the [PERSEUS doctoral programme:
](https://www.ntnu.edu/perseus)A collaboration between NTNU- Norway’s largest
university, 11 top-level academic partners in 8 European countries, and 8

We look forward to welcome you to the PERSEUS team.
## Duties of the position
* The PhD candidate will work on challenging research problems related to developing digital twin demonstrators, and mechanisms that allow the monitoring and protection of such digital twin configurations targeted towards safety-critical cyber-physical systems. The primary objective of this work is to develop digital twin demonstrations of sufficient fidelity and ability to support realistic scenarios within selected sectors, such as manufacturing, energy, and smart cities. Consequently, the candidate will utilise this capability to study data flows, state synchronisation, and broadly binding processes between production systems and the corresponding digital twins. This will allow to assess risks and attack methods towards the selected production systems, the digital twin configurations, and the bindings between the two. This will form the basis not only for the development of detection and mitigation mechanisms for attacks targeted towards the monitoring and control processes, but also for training of incident handling and analysis.
* Undertaking the necessary courses (30 ECTS) as part of the PhD programme;
* Submitting an application for admission and a research plan no later than 3 months after the employment;

PERSEUS - PhD Candidate in Ultra-Low Power Integrated Circuit Design for Self-
powered Internet of Things |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a

You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the position
At the Department of Electronic Systems, we have a vacancy for a PhD candidate
in Ultra-low Power Integrated Circuit Design for Self-powered Internet of
Things. Due to the interdisciplinary aspects of the project, the candidate
will also receive co-supervision from the Department of Computer Science.
We need ultra-low power IoT devices that can harvest their energy from their
surroundings and operate without a battery to accelerate large-scale
deployment of IoT devices and the advent of a sustainable smart world (smart
health, cities, transportation, etc.). Subthreshold circuits have been shown
to achieve power and energy savings of up to orders of magnitude as compared
to conventional of the shelf components, but extreme vulnerabilities to
process-, voltage-, and temperature variations on chip still hinder widespread
adoption in industry. The low supply volage at which subthreshold logic
operates results in low switching speeds, which sometimes cause limitations.
It is therefore foreseen that IoT devices require both subthreshold as well as
conventional logic to meet both their energy and performance requirements.
The objective of this PhD project is to investigate design principles for ULP
devices. The PhD candidate will investigate **Ultra-Low Power Internet of
Things (ULP-IoT)** **** devices that can collect sensor input and perform
computational tasks, monitoring energy levels and waking up additional parts
of the system when, e.g., more performance or wireless communication is
required, and enough energy is available to the system. The ULP-IoT project is
closely related to the Experimental Platform for IoT (EPIoT) project (which is
announced in the same call). The two PhD candidates will be working closely
together and receive supervision from a large interdisciplinary team.
This PhD project is a part of the P[ERSEUS doctoral
programme](https://www.ntnu.edu/perseus): A collaboration between NTNU-
Norway’s largest university, 11 top-level academic partners in 8 European

PERSEUS - PhD Candidate in the area of Digital Twin for Maritime Communication
System Performance Prediction |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a
better world.
You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the position
At the [Department of Electronic Systems](https://www.ntnu.edu/ies) we have a
vacancy for a PhD candidate in the area of **Digital twin for maritime
communication system performance prediction.**
Modern and future ships use radio communications to support the local
situational awareness and autonomity. Short- and longterm communication
performance has a direct effect on how well the ship's systems are able to
utilize up-to-date information from other ships and land-based systems. Being
able to predict the performance is crucial in supporting the ship to adapt to
the expected level of connectivity on route.
The radio propagation channel behavior, including its statistical variation in
time and space, depends on the location of transmitter and receiver, as well
as the propagation conditions around both. The maritime channel, in addition,
will depend on weather conditions that may change the sea surface conditions.
These phenomena lead to location-dependent achievable data rates and
reliability.
This work studies data-driven, machine learning trained spatial models that
can be used to predict the achievable rates and reliabilities of the maritime
channel, and the related radio system.
The data sources foreseen are the radio system channel quality indicators at
the physical layer, the location information, and eventually other data
sources that can be used to improve the prediction accuracy.
This PhD project is a part of the [PERSEUS doctoral
programme](https://www.ntnu.edu/perseus): A collaboration between NTNU-
Norway’s largest university, 11 top-level academic partners in 8 European
countries, and 8 industrial partners within sectors of high societal
relevance.
Within PERSEUS we will recruit 40 PhD candidates who want to contribute to a
smart, safe and sustainable future. We are looking for highly skilled PhD
candidates motivated to approach societal challenges within one of the

innovation Centre on autonomous ships. The Centre will carry out research in
the areas of autonomous operations, digital infrastructure, human factors and
remote operation centres, safety assurance and sustainable operation. The
Perseus thematical areas are relevant for several research tasks in relation
to ship situational awareness, navigation, ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore-
communication, port-to-ship integration, and risk and safety monitoring and
analysis. For more information on [SFI AutoShip](https://www.ntnu.edu/sfi-
autoship).

Senior/Postdoctoral Associate - MSC Biology, Process Development and Clinical
Applications (Ref: IRG_CAMP_2021_015) |
Project Overview
SMART CAMP (Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine) is a
new interdisciplinary research programme in Singapore (CREATE international
research campus and innovation hub) and at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT). SMART CAMP addresses key technology bottlenecks in cell
therapy manufacturing: (i) critical quality attributes of safe, effective cell
therapy products; and (ii) integrated process analytics to monitor and
modulate those attributes. While cell therapies are poised to transform
healthcare for both the industry and the patient, there remain many
outstanding scientific and technical challenges to significant global impact
that this R&D programme addresses. This high-impact focus includes measurement
and feedback control of processing parameters (process analytic technologies,
or PAT) that contribute to cell viability and function during cell
proliferation, and the measurement at intermediate and final steps of the cell
product properties correlated with positive therapeutic outcomes (critical
quality attributes, or CQA).
This interdisciplinary team comprises engineers, biologists, clinicians,
manufacturing, and data analytics experts from multiple MIT academic units,
and multiple Singapore-based universities, research centres of excellence, and
hospitals who are experienced at translational demonstrations of technologies
in safety-regulated industries such as cell therapies. As with all
postdoctoral associates (PDAs) in SMART CAMP based in Singapore, the PDA will
work in a diverse team of experts including several principal investigators
(PIs) and PDAs, and receive direct mentorship regarding career development
from a pair of who are based in Singapore and at MIT, respectively.
CAMP’s unique, enabling and cross-cutting capabilities include cell and
clinical biology, microfluidics, real-time optics and spectroscopies,
3D-printed devices, process analytics, data analytics, and bioinformatics.
This programme will demonstrate these approaches required of cell-based
personalized medicine through three translational testbeds (three Flagship
Projects), ultimately facilitating access for more patients to life-saving,
approved cell therapies for currently intractable health challenges. These
flagship projects will address allogeneic and autologous cell therapy
products, including but not limited to cell sources including adult
stem/progenitor cells and immune cells for treatment of specific cancers,
tissue degeneration, and autoimmune diseases. This PDA is part of the core
postdoctoral research team of CAMP, and will contribute his/her/their
expertise to all three flagship projects as appropriate:
Flagship Project 1: Label-free critical quality attributes (CQA) for
personalized efficacy of cell therapies, including multivariate analysis of
biological and biophysical attributes
Flagship Project 2: Rapid critical quality attributes (CQA) for safety of cell
sources & cell therapy products, including process analytic technologies (PAT)
Flagship Project 3: Integrated process analytic technologies (PAT) for cell
proliferation and recovery, including in-line and intermittent monitoring to
promote efficacy and safety CQA
Job Responsibilities
CAMP Core – Mesenchymal stromal/progenitor cell biology/process development
specialist/clinical applications
SMART CAMP research will focus on multiple cell types and targeted
indications, to address critical bottlenecks in cell therapy production. As
CAMP will include an initial focus on cell/indication pairs such as
mesenchymal stem or stromal/progenitor cells for paracrine signaling or for
tissue regeneration, deep expertise is essential in adult stem cell (tissue
cell progenitor or blood cell progenitor) and mesenchymal stromal cell biology
at the basic and translational levels to support development of both the
cells’ critical quality attributes (CQA) and culture systems’ process analytic
technologies (PAT). This PDA will contribute expertise in stem cell and
mesenchymal stromal cell biology, process development, and clinical
applications, to:
* Establish the best practices for stem or stromal cell manufacturing and culturing, particularly for adherent stem and stromal cell subpopulations
* Determine how biological traits and biophysical characteristics for a desired application/functional phenotype interrelate for positive therapeutic outcome
* Determine whether and how those CQA vary if cells are genetically manipulated rather than minimally processed.
* Lead and coordinate stem and stromal cell production and characterization to facilitate a wide array of projects within CAMP, including identifying novel attributes for cell efficacy, safety, and manufacturability toward good lab or manufacturing practice (GLP or GMP) conditions.
* Quantify key sources of variation among donors, culture conditions, and process development choices for a given set of targeted in vivo outcomes, and in vivo preclinical experiments
* Interface with a diverse array of CAMP teammates and the larger Singapore cell manufacturing community, ranging from engineers to clinicians to GMP manufacturers and regulatory scientists.
Job Requirements
* Ph.D. in Cell Biology, Cell Process Engineering, or a closely related field
* Experience with primary human stem cell isolation and culture, flow cytometry/FACS, and other means of biological cell characterization (microscopy, ELISA, microfluidics, etc.)
* Experience with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and/or bioinformatics is an asset
* Experience with preclinical in vivo experiment design and execution for analysis of clinical endpoints is an asset
* Exposure to GMP and industrial processing of MSCs or stem cells is preferred but not required
* Able to work well and communicate ideas effectively in a multidisciplinary team of researchers with different training backgrounds
* Good track record of publications and scientific output
* Self-motivated, independent, with superior organizational and analytical skills

Post-Doctorate Recognition of human activities in a smart home |
_**Context :**_
Environmental regulations no longer consider the building as a simple energy
consumer, but put the human being at the centre of concerns, so that it is
perfectly integrated into its ecosystem.
These "responsible buildings" of the future must be fully integrated into a
vision of a renewed society, where comfort and health are in harmony with
dynamic energy management. To achieve these objectives, it is also necessary
to rethink the systems installed in buildings, by developing new control
functions, offering stronger interactions with the occupants. Numerous studies
have shown that occupant behaviour can lead to significant differences in
consumption (over 20%).
From this point of view, the building is seen as an ecosystem in which a set
of equipment must satisfy the needs of the occupants, not only internally, but
also with the outside world and its neighbourhood. The "building" ecosystem is
thus complex, insofar as it is made up of a heterogeneous set of systems that
must be coordinated for optimal management.
Each building is unique, starting with its structure, its orientation, its
location, but also its occupants. Over time, the needs of the occupants change
and the control system must be able to adjust. The massive arrival of digital
technology in buildings (the Internet of Things (IoT), building information
modelling (BIM), communicating metres, communication interfaces such as
tablets or smartphones) provides additional information that can be used for
building management. With the help of appropriate and targeted processing, it
is possible to use the data from these communicating objects to understand how
users occupy their building, to assess the functioning of the various
equipment and anticipate breakdowns, to identify events or their rhythms, and
to automate the services of the house. Feedback to the users themselves can
also be seen as an added value (living habits, performance and consumption of
systems, presence/absence, energy-consuming behaviour, quality of life
assessment, etc.).
It is in this perspective that Delta Dore intends to pursue its innovation
efforts. By developing artificial intelligence solutions for the recognition
of human activities, the aim is to offer services relating to energy
consumption, health and comfort in the home.
**IMT Atlantique** , internationally recognized for the quality of its
research, is a leading general engineering school under the authority of the
Ministry of Industry and Digital Technologies, and is ranked in the main
international rankings. Located on three campuses (Brest, Nantes and Rennes),
IMT Atlantique aims to combine digital technology and energy to transform
society and industry through training, research and innovation.
**Delta Dore** is a French family business founded in 1970, based in
Bonnemain, Brittany. It is a medium-sized company with about 900 employees.
Its subsidiaries are present in many European countries and its solutions are
marketed in Asia and Europe. The company's main activity is to develop
hardware and software solutions for building control and energy services. This
includes optimizing comfort, facilitating daily tasks and saving energy
through better management equipment. It also offers solutions for both
individual homes and the technical management of tertiary buildings or
collective housing by controlling energy consumption, facilitating building
management, and improving occupant comfort thanks to global control solutions
integrating adapted services.
**_Description of the Work:_**
This project is set in the context of recognition of activities of daily life
in a "smart home" environment. A smart home is a home equipped with sensors,
actuators and artificial intelligence. The sensors (temperature, luminosity,
switches, presence, door opening, etc.) allow the house to perceive its
environment and the actions of the occupants. The actuators (lights, roller
shutters, connected locks, etc.), on the other hand, allow the user to act on
this same environment. Artificial intelligence uses this perception and the
ability to act to understand, assist, secure and facilitate the daily life of
inhabitants.
Scientific research has explored neural network algorithms such as CNN
(Convolutional Neural Network), RNN (Recurent Neural Network), LSTM (Long
Short Term Memory), Auto Encoders, and has proposed improvements by
introducing an "Embedding" layer based on NLP (Natural Language Processing)
approaches [1-4].
This structure shows very good performance on the problem of sequence
classification in an "offline" framework. Further experiments must now be
carried out to evaluate this structure on other datasets and its capacity to
classify sequences in "online" or on-the-fly mode. In other words, it is a
question of finding patterns directly on the flow of sensor events and no
longer in a pre-cut sequence. This is the first stage of the planned project.
A second stage will consist of looking at the available embedded hardware
platforms dedicated to intelligence algorithms. The aim is to evaluate
different hardware solutions that allow the implementation of artificial
intelligence algorithms for domestic uses (activity recognition, predictive
maintenance, etc.), taking into account the costs of the solutions. [5]
Finally, the project will explore the possibilities offered by a connected
habitat simulation environment. Indeed, its learning-based artificial
intelligence algorithms require large datasets. Collecting relevant data for
the different use cases is difficult. Indeed, the great variability of flats,
houses, home automation sensor sets, but also of inhabitants with different
daily activities make it difficult to reuse the results obtained for one use
case for another. However, the preparation, installation and post-processing
time for the implementation of real situations is long and difficult. In a
"digital-twin" approach, we will use a simulator to overcome the difficulty of
obtaining real data, generating synthetic data to introduce the different
variations (user habits, different sensors, different environments) according
to the use cases. For example, we will use the Virtual-Home simulator
currently developed for computer vision [6], and extend it to add home
automation sensors, script activities played by a digital avatar, and thus
propose an environment for experimenting with human activity recognition
strategies.
**_Plan de travail_**
* M0 to M4 : Analysis of embedded hardware platforms for AI
* M4 to M10 : adaptation of online AI algorithms
* M10 to M18 : prototyping, implementation of the algorithm on the chosen platform, experimentation
* M18 to M24 : extend the Virtual-Home simulator to play complex activities through the avatar (variability)

## About the position
At the Department of Computer Science we have a vacancy for a PhD candidate in
AI at work ([AI@Work](mailto:AI@Work)) in Safety-critical Remote Operations.
In the energy industry (such as wind, oil and gas, utility), safety-critical
remote operations are increasingly conducted from remote locations such as
control rooms. Remote operations rely on real-time sensor data feeds that
combine AI-based (meta)data visualization and detection systems to help
operators identify the relevant information and make efficient decisions. Due
to safety and reporting concerns, it is important that human operators remain
in control. To ensure safe and efficient decision-making, there is a need to
develop a better, in-depth understanding of these complex human-AI hybrids, as
well as explore improved approaches to sensemaking and training based on e.g.
Extended Reality (XR)-based serious games that help prevent the “data
drowning” problem. The goal of this PhD project is to contribute investigating
how AI-infused remote operations can be implemented to improve decision-making
processes in organizations. The research design is inspired by Design Science
Research, in which empirical data collection will be alternated with

PERSEUS - PhD Candidate within Designing an Experimental Platform for Internet
of Things Research |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a
better world.
You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the position
At the Department of Computer Science we have a vacancy for a PhD candidate
within the area of computer architectures for the Internet of Things. Due to
the interdisciplinary aspects of the project, the candidate will receive co-
supervision from the Department of Information Security and Communication
Technology and the Department of Electronic Systems.
The Internet of Things (IoT) requires highly efficient Ultra-Low Power (ULP)
systems to enable interacting with the environment at scale. These ULP-systems
must communicate wirelessly and rely solely on energy harvesting – as manually
retrieving 100s or 1000s of systems to capture data or change batteries is
costly and impractical. The ULP system hence needs to strike a balance between
harvester capability and energy storage on the one side and performance on the
other. Unfortunately, no well-established methodology is available to help IoT
developers reason about this complex trade-off.
The objective of this PhD project is to establish such a methodology. To do
this, the PhD candidate will develop the **Experimental Platform for IoT
Research (EPIoT)**. EPIoT will enable exploring the design space of energy-
harvesting-based IoT applications by creating a custom and configurable
platform around the energy and sensor subsystems. More specifically, EPIoT
will combine a range of energy harvesters with configurable energy storage and
sensors with different energy and timing characteristics. EPIoT’s compute and
communication System on Chip (SoC) will inspect the energy storage to
dynamically select energy-neutral operating points.
This PhD project is a part of the [PERSEUS doctoral
](https://www.ntnu.edu/perseus)programme: A collaboration between NTNU-
Norway’s largest university, 11 top-level academic partners in 8 European

PERSEUS - PhD Candidate in the area of Digital Twins and Artificial
Intelligence for Improved Personal Health and a more Sustainable Health Care
System |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a
better world.
You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the position
At the Department of Computer Science, we have a vacancy for a PhD candidate
in the area of **Digital Twins and Artificial Intelligence for Improved
Personal Health and a more Sustainable Health Care System.**
The future health care system will increasingly be data-driven, the citizens
will be more in charge of their own health (empowerment, prevention) and
decision support will be an integrated part of the everyday clinical practice.
Combined, this will relieve the health care system and make it sustainable
also in the future with a more elderly population.
We envision that a digital twin ecosystem (One Citizen - One Digital Twin)
could substantially contribute to the effective realization of such a health
care system. A Digital Twin (DT) is a digital/virtual representation/model of
the physical twin/counterpart (PT), often connected through sensor data from
the PT that enables the DT to provide feedback and predictions to the PT. DT
technology is increasingly being used in domains like construction and
manufacturing and is expected to play a key role in the digital transformation
of many areas in the coming years. In the case of health-related digital twins
(DTs) this means that your own personal twin would look after you throughout
life, that this twin, that you are in charge of, will know as much as possible
about you, and that the combined data from all the twins are used to generate
new actionable knowledge applicable in various fields to both yourself (self-
management of health) and the health care system in general (e.g. decision
support) through the functionally provided by your twin (i.e. bridging the gap
between citizens and the health-care system).
In the proposed PhD-project the candidate will contribute to the realization
of a proof-of-concept DT ecosystem, focusing on wearables and state-of-the-art
AI research connected to the analysis of vital signs and time series. You will
also be given a unique opportunity to form how a future data-driven health
care system might look like. To participate in these discussions, it will be
beneficial to have a genuine interest and knowledge in some of the other key
underlying DT technologies (in addition to machine learning), e.g. IoT, 5G,
BigData, cloud computing, mobile/web development, GUI/HCI, synthetic health
data, explainable AI, privacy (regulations, federated learning, differential
privacy), information security and ethics. The project will be part of ongoing
activity and related projects for health and medicine (e.g. wearables,
distance follow-up, home hospital) among key NTNU faculties and departments
with associated partners and collaborators.
This PhD project is a part of the [PERSEUS doctoral
programme](https://www.ntnu.edu/perseus): A collaboration between NTNU -

## About the position
At the Department of Computer Science, we have a vacancy for a PhD candidate
in Natural Language Processing for personalized content summarization.
Content summarization uses machine learning to extract the main ideas of
individual texts or collections of text. It may also be used to explain
recommendations and provide explanatory features in artificial intelligence in
general. Central to the technique is the use of machine learning and language
models to interpret text and contextualize content with respect to users or
tasks at hand. Summarization is often combined with other NLP techniques to
provide personalized summaries or build conversational systems that make use
of external sources. The PhD student will develop new summarization techniques
that are incorporated into generative conversational systems and personalized
with respect to users and contexts. The research will address both English and
Scandinavian languages. The expected results include industrial prototypes in
collaboration with industry partners as well as high-quality publications in
top NLP venues.

## About the position
At the Department of Computer Science, we have a vacancy for a PhD candidate
in Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence.
Building trustworthy AI systems is a cornerstone to apply AI technologies in
practice and therefore we need to explore methods, build tools, and
incorporate different perspectives when developing novel AI applications.
Based on the
[definition](https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/document.cfm?doc_id=60419) of
the High Level Expert Group of the European Union, trustworthy AI should be
lawful, ethical, and robust. While guidelines exist, research on
implementation methodologies are currently under development and this PhD
position will contribute to develop principles for creating trustworthy AI
applications. Together with partners in the NorwAI SFI the candidate will work
on the creation for guidelines for a sustainable and beneficial use of AI,
explore privacy-preserving technologies and create explainable, interpretable
and transparent prototypes to be tested in industrial settings.
This PhD project is a part of the[ PERSEUS doctoral

PhD Fellowship in the synthesis of PU-acrylic waterborne hybrids |
A PhD Fellowship in Chemistry is available in the Polymerization Processes
Group at the Basque Center for Macromolecular Design and Engineering, POLYMAT
Fundazioa ([www.polymat.eu](http://www.polymat.eu)). The project is to be
conducted in collaboration with a world-leading producer of emulsion polymers.
The increasing awareness of environmental issues related to the use of solvent
based polymers used in coatings formulations has led to their gradual
replacement by polymers dispersed in aqueous media. However, in general,
matching the physical properties of solvent based systems remains a challenge
and is currently the main barrier that is preventing the further reduction of
the use of VOCs in coatings formulations. This project looks to overcome this
barrier by exploring the use of PU/acrylic dispersions to produce high
mechanical performance, film-forming systems.
Applicants must have an MSc in Chemistry (or a related discipline). A
background in polymer science is highly desirable.
Good command of written and spoken English is a must (if preselected, a
telephone interview will be carried out before any other appointment is made).
The selected candidate is expected to conduct research, write papers, and
deliver a PhD thesis.
Applications should be addressed to Prof. José M. Asua and Dr. Nicholas
Ballard and sent via email in one single PDF to

Post-Doctoral position on constraint programming applied to cryptanalysis |
**_Context :_**
Cryptography is a cornerstone of everyday digital security as it aims at
ensuring confidentiality and integrity of digital communications. These tasks
are achieved by using keys (i.e., strings of characters) to encrypt and
decrypt messages. In applications such as e-commerce or bank transactions,
hybrid cryptography combines both forms of cryptography to create a secure
channel: first, public key cryptography is used to cipher a common key; then
symmetric cryptography is used to encrypt and decrypt transactions with the
common key, mostly because it is faster.
**_The project:_**
In the **DeCrypt** project (), we focus on
symmetric cryptography which is widely used. In this case, the same key is
used both to encrypt and decrypt messages. To solve hard combinatorial
optimization problems encountered in cryptanalysis, a first possibility is to
develop dedicated approaches. However, developing efficient approaches is a
difficult task which implies a hard programming job (efficiency, bug free,
correction, …) difficult to reproduce. Hence, an appealing alternative to
dedicated approaches is to use automatic solving tools, such as Mixed Integer
Linear Programming (MILP), or Boolean satisfiability solvers (SAT). Constraint
Programming (CP) is another automatic solving tool that may be used to solve
cryptanalysis problems. Recently, CP-based approaches were introduced to solve
challenging symmetric cryptanalysis problems. This opens very promising
perspectives. In particular, CP models provide short and human-readable
declarative models of cryptanalysis problems, and that CP solvers are not only
competitive with dedicated tools, but also outperform them for some problems.
The main task of the post-doc will be to work on inferences to improve the
cryptanalyst experience whether to improve the resolution or interpretation of
a result. We are looking for highly motivated researchers with a strong
background either in constraint programming or in SAT. We will also consider
applications from related fields in Combinatorial Optimization.
**_Location_**
The post-doc will be located at IMT Atlantique in Nantes. Travel to Rennes is
also expected.
**IMT Atlantique** is one of the top 10 engineering schools in France with 3
campuses (Brest, Nantes and Rennes). It is a general engineering _grande
école_ financed by the Ministry of Industry and Digital Communication with
three main areas of expertise: digital, energy and the environment. |

Post-Doctorate Recognition of activities of daily living using sound |
_**Background and motivation :**_
In France, more than one million people are affected by a neurodegenerative
disease (2014) such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's
disease and multiple sclerosis. Early detection of the characteristic clinical
signs of the onset of these diseases would enable the persons concerned to
receive appropriate care, but also to act accordingly, especially by planning
certain tasks while they are
able to make important decisions concerning their personal finances, legal
provisions or relating to their health. Early detection of Alzheimer's disease
would allow to slow the progression of symptomatic manifestations (cognitive
loss, memory impairment) while limiting the exposure of sufferers to risk
factors.
**IMT Atlantique** , internationally recognized for the quality of its
research, is a leading general engineering school under the authority of the
Ministry of Industry and Digital Technologies, and is ranked in the main
international rankings. Located on three campuses (Brest, Nantes and Rennes),
IMT Atlantique aims to combine digital technology and energy to transform
society and industry through training, research and innovation.
**Smart Macadam** is a company created in Nantes in 2018, focused on the
design and development of innovative solutions for people affected by
neurodegenerative diseases. As part of its flagship project, named Mementop,
Smart Macadam has developed a certified medical device, based on a
personalized Gazette, a smartphone application that offers a set of simple
functions (diary, memos, memory albums, games, spatio-temporal location...)
and a support service. This device should allow sick users (referred hereafter
as assisted person) to find their way in space and time, stimulate their
memory and preserve their executive functions. The device is also intended for
the relatives of the assisted persons (called carers) to whom it offers a
unified channel of communication with their assisted person, as well as a
structuring means to contribute to the preservation of the latter's autonomy
at home.
The research project described in this document aims to increase the
capacities of the Mementop device by recognizing sounds that are markers of
daily human activity in the home, and identifying abnormal situations.
The semantic interpretation of the meaningful sounds will be useful for
monitoring the evolution of the health status of the assisted person because
it will complete the empirical analysis model implemented by Mementop from the
data collected by the device (activities of the assisted person, modes of use
of the application, information exchanges within each dyad).
**_Methods:_**
In the present project, we intend to extract significant sounds from
environmental noise which correspond to daily human activities, and identify
them (noise from chairs, walking, opening cupboards, toilets, etc.). These
noises, by their presence and regularity over the course of the day, are
reassuring markers of a priori normal human activity. On the other hand, a
prolonged absence or a drift in time may be the first signs or a suspicion of
disorders in the user and may give rise to a procedure for alerting and
removing doubts by a carer.
The same ambient sound classification tool will also allow certain alert
situations to be identified, such as the falling or breaking of an object, or
instinctive cries from the person in the event of injury, for example.
**_Objectifs_**
1\. Recognize sounds that mark everyday activities:
* Evaluate the different hardware solutions on the market, ambient microphones, boxes for audio processing
* Creation of a labelled database of ambient sounds in the home, initially on the basis of adhoc recordings, then using sound banks and sound effects proposed for the cinema for example
* State of the art of recognition and classification algorithms for sound
* Prototyping a solution, porting a selected algorithm into the identified hardware solution.
**_Project time-planning:_**
* **T0-T6 Analysis** : Identify the State-of-the-art; Exchanges with partners and the scientific committee.
* **T6-T18 Specification and development** : Specification and design of a Proof-of-concept allowing to calculate clinical indicators. Exchanges with partners and the scientific committee.
* **T18-T24 On-site experiments and validation:** Experimentation with the Proof-of-concept done by pairs of helpers and assisted persons. Adjustments of the proposed solution. Exchanges with partners and the scientific committee. Validation of the Proof-of-concept.
**_Means to be used by the laboratory:_**
The assistant professors Mihai ANDRIES and Christophe LOHR will provide the
academic supervision of the work. Both are members of the RAMBO team of the
Lab-STICC (CNRS UMR 6285) and of ITM Atlantique. The two research axes of
RAMBO are (1) the architecture of services and ambient systems, and (2)
cognitive companion robots. The team has an intelligent flat Experiment'HAAL
equipped with sensors
for monitoring human activity, in which experiments related to the project can
take place. The team also has a GERT ageing simulator.
This project is part of RAMBO's activities on maintaining elderly people at
home. This project is complementary to the team's ongoing work on the
recognition of activities of daily living.
**_Means to be implemented by the partner Smart Macadam:_**
The post-doctoral students will be integrated into Smart Macadam's R&D
department. The supervision of their work within the company will be ensured
by the research director, Julie GOLLIOT (PhD), who is employed by Smart
Macadam.
The company's partners, associations (France Alzheimer, Union Nationale des
Aidants, Maison des aidants), public (Nantes University Hospital, Gérontopôle
des Pays de la Loire) and private (Scientific Committee), provide access to
expertise enabling :
* To properly understand:
* The issues and difficulties of the daily life of Assisted person-Caregiver dyads
* The challenges of their support
* To validate the scientific hypotheses formulated
* Experiment with algorithms in dyads.
Post-doctoral fellows will be provided with a suitable working environment and
the necessary equipment (MacBook Pro, software and devices to carry out their
work).
This project is fully in line with the R&D work carried out by Smart Macadam
with the aim of developing an Intelligent Companion capable of monitoring
clinical indicators showing a change in the level of autonomy of the frail
person.

Post-Doctorate Extracting clinical health indicators from geriatric speech |
_**Background and motivation :**_
In France, more than one million people are affected by a neurodegenerative

disease and multiple sclerosis. Early detection of the characteristic clinical
signs of the onset of these diseases would enable the persons concerned to

Smart Macadam is a company created in Nantes in 2018, focused on the design
and development of innovative solutions for people affected by
neurodegenerative diseases. As part of its flagship project, named Mementop,
Smart Macadam has developed a certified medical device, based on a

the relatives of the assisted persons (called carers) to whom it offers a
unified channel of communication with their assisted person, as well as a
structuring means to contribute to the preservation of the latter's autonomy
at home.
The research project described in this document aims to increase the
capacities of the Mementop device on two axes. The first axis will focus on
the calculation of clinical indicators related to the health of the assisted
person, based on an analytical processing of audio streams testifying to the
activities of the dyad (centred on the assisted person). The second axis will
focus on the recognition of sounds that are
markers of daily human activity in the home and the identification of abnormal
situations.
To achieve this, the research project will focus on the identification of
meaningful sounds from the point of view of the device's objectives - such as
human speech and sounds from the home - and the rejection of non-meaningful
audio sources, such as sounds from a TV, a connected speaker, a computer, etc.
The semantic interpretation of the meaningful sounds will be useful for
monitoring the evolution of the health status of the helper because it will
complete the empirical analysis model implemented by Mementop from the data
collected by the device (activities of the assisted person, modes of use of
the application, information exchanges within each dyad).
**_Methods:_**
In the present project, we intend to exploit the results obtained by
scientific studies about the features of the discourse held by a person
affected by a neurodegenerative disease. In particular, we want to focus on
the exchanges that take place between the person being cared for and all of
his/her caregivers.
The first step will be to identify the audio streams to be taken into account
in the research project. These flows will come from :
* Sounds captured by the Mementop application (collection of memories in audio format,
exchange of messages within the dyad, audio exercises proposed to the helped
person)
* Capture of audio sequences by a dedicated hardware device installed in the assisted person's home. The conditions of activation of this device will be based on the recognition of situations or scenes:
* Telephone conversation between the person being assisted and a caller
* Face-to-face conversation between the assisted person and one or more interlocutors
* Soliloquy of the assisted person.
Once the audio streams have been captured, the human voices should be
separated from the surrounding noise.
a) Concerning human voices, it will be necessary to identify the different
speakers in order to produce personalized and differentiated statistics for
each person attending the place where the assisted person lives. This approach
will lead to the constitution of a discourse base, whether it is a monologue
of the assisted person or an exchange taking place within the dyad.
A speech recognition system will transcribe the content of each speech as a
textual entity (speechto-text). A recent study of speech recognition systems
in French was produced by Boyer et al [1]. From the textual transcriptions,
the calculation of different parameters constituting mental health indicators
will be carried out, with, for example :
* The diversity of words used, which is an indicator of aphasia [10,12] (richness of the lexical field)
* Repetitions of content addressed to the same person[8] (indicator of memory loss and dementia)
* The rate of speech, the average length of utterance, the ratio of hesitations[11]
* The duration and frequency of pauses in speech [4,5,11] typically associated with word recall (also an indicator of dementia)
* The speaker's prosody [12] The overall coherence of the speech [3].
As the complexity of speech is inherently adaptive (each person adapts his or
her way of speaking depending on the speaker), this aspect will also be taken
into account. For example, grandmothers often speak to their grandchildren
using a simpler vocabulary, and this should not count as a degradation of the
cognitive abilities of the concerned speaker.
These elements of discourse analysis, translated into exploitable elements
within the framework of the study, will be used in the calculation of the
clinical health indicators of the assisted person [13,14] at a given moment t.
The evolution of these clinical health indicators over time will be the
subject of a time series analysis (TSA) allowing to anticipate the occurrence
of certain risks such as undernutrition, loss of hygiene
or social isolation of the person being cared for.
**_Objectifs_**
1\. Speech recognition :
* Filter noise using flow/source separation techniques
* Identify specific scenes
* Distinguish between speakers
* Automatically transcribe speech into text for analysis;
2\. Collect discursive indicators that can contribute to the calculation of
clinical health indicators related to
the onset of neurodegenerative disease :
* Calculation of the diversity of words used (depth of the lexical field)
* Calculation of content repetition
* Calculating the length of the speech
* Calculating the duration and frequency of pauses in a speech
* Calculating the duration and frequency of hesitations in a speech
* Calculation of speech rate
* Calculation of the articulation index
* Calculation of the overall coherence of a speech.
For speech recognition, speech-to-text solutions on the market will be
evaluated, compared and used.
Examples of solutions in this field are:
* Dragon Professional
* Otter
* Verbit
* Speechmatics
* Braina Pro
* Amazon Transcribe
* Microsoft Azure Speech to Text
* IBM Watson Speech to Text
The core of the project will consist in the calculation of medical indicators.
**_Project time-planning:_**
* **T0-T6 Analysis** : Identify the State-of-the-art; Exchanges with partners and the scientific committee.
* **T6-T18 Specification and development** : Specification and design of a Proof-of-concept allowing to calculate clinical indicators. Exchanges with partners and the scientific committee.
* **T18-T24 On-site experiments and validation:** Experimentation with the Proof-of-concept done by pairs of helpers and assisted persons. Adjustments of the proposed solution. Exchanges with partners and the scientific committee. Validation of the Proof-of-concept.

PhD position: Characterization and absolute quantification by high resolution
mass spectrometry of brain proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases:
identification of new diagnostic markers |
## Characterization and absolute quantification by high resolution mass
spectrometry of brain proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases:
identification of new diagnostic markers
The LEMM unit (Drug Metabolism Research Laboratory) at CEA Saclay, France, in
collaboration with the Institute of Memory and Alzheimer's Disease, the
neuropathology department, and the Department of Metabolic Biochemistry at
University Hospital Pitié-Salpêtrière (Paris), invites application for a
position of Doctoral Researcher.
Background: Neurodegenerative diseases have in common the accumulation of
proteins, notably tau, synuclein, amyloid or TDP43, in the form of toxic
aggregates found in the brain parenchyma of patients. The accumulated proteins
show numerous post-translational modifications along the amino-acid sequence.
The abundance of modified forms (proteoforms) in brain deposits, such as
phosphorylated tau in Alzheimer's patients, suggests a role in toxic
aggregation. A diversity of post-translational modifications of tau are
reported (e.g., phosphorylations, acetylations, or ubiquitinations) and their
toxicity, role in pathology, and connectivity between these modifications
(synergy/antagonism) need to be clarified [Kontaxi C et al, 2017]. Similarly,
only few data are available on the proteoforms of the synuclein aggregates
found in synucleinopathy, such as dementia with Lewy bodies, or also found at
autopsy in a large proportion of Alzheimer's patients (Moussaud et al, 2014;
Matej et al, 2019).
Objectives : To better understand the role of proteoforms in the
pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases
using high resolution mass spectrometry - To identify new diagnostic markers.
Methods : We will exploit the specificity of high-resolution mass spectrometry
to identify and characterize the post-translational modifications of brain
proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases. New proteomic protocols,
targeted on these proteins, will be developed using top-down and bottom-up
high resolution mass spectrometry (Viode et al, 2019; Dubois et al, 2020).
Then, methods for the absolute quantification of the identified post-
translational modifications will be developed and validated in order to
determine their abundance in brain samples from patients suffering from
neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body diseases, fronto-
temporal lobar degenerations). Finally, we will select the most discriminating
proteoforms and measure their abundance in biological fluids from patients
(cerebrospinal fluid and plasma), in the objective to identify new diagnostic
markers. In this aim, the thesis will involve the development of ultra-
sensitive analytical protocols based on mass spectrometry. The work will be
done in collaboration with the Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital (Institute of Memory
and Alzheimer's Disease and Biochemistry Department)
Conditions of the thesis: The thesis will take place at the Commissariat à
l'Energie Atomique (CEA), Service de Pharmacologie et d'Immunoanalyse,
Laboratoire d'Etude du Métabolisme des médicaments, for a period of 3 years
(starting end 2021)

Doctoral Candidate (PhD student) in User Experience of Digital Collaboration
for Work and Learning |
**University of Luxembourg** is an **international research** university with
a distinctly **multilingual** and **interdisciplinary** character. The
University was founded in 2003 and counts more than 6,700 students and more
than 2,000 employees from around the world. The University’s faculties and
interdisciplinary centres focus on research in the areas of Computer Science
and ICT Security, Materials Science, European and International Law, Finance
and Financial Innovation, Education, Contemporary and Digital History. In
addition, the University focuses on cross-disciplinary research in the areas
of Data Modelling and Simulation as well as Health and System Biomedicine.
Times Higher Education ranks the University of Luxembourg #3 worldwide for its
“international outlook,” #20 in the Young University Ranking 2021 and among
the top 250 universities worldwide.
The **Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences** (FHSE) brings
together expertise from the humanities, linguistics, cognitive sciences,
social and educational sciences. People from across 20 disciplines are working
within the Faculty. Along with the **disciplinary** approach a very ambitious
interdisciplinary research culture has been developed.
The faculty’s research and teaching focuses on **social, economic, political**
and **educational** issues with the common goal of contributing to an
inclusive, open and resourceful society. The FHSE offers four Bachelor and 15
Master degrees and a doctoral school providing students with the necessary
knowledge and high-qualified skills to succeed in their future career.
Funded by the Fonds National de la Recherche Luxembourg in the framework of
their partnership block grant programme IPBG, the University of Luxembourg has
designed the COLLABORATION 21 (C21) programme. It teams up researchers from
the University with Cisco - the world leader in collaboration technologies and
SCRIPT - Luxembourg’s national agency for innovation and digitalisation in
education. Together, they propose a highly interdisciplinary programme
encompassing seven research challenges at the intersection of **collaborative
skills and technologies to support education and the workforce**.
##### Your Role...
Doctoral training will encompass all dimensions of the interdisciplinary
partnership approach, including academic, transversal and “on-the-job"
training with our highly committed partners. To bolster training and research
opportunities, all C21 candidates will spend 25%-50% of their project time in

Area of research:
The project aims in the development of an advanced vaccine platform to promote
protective mucosal immunity by co-delivery of mRNAs encoding antigen(s) and
human endogenous adjuvants. This requires adaptation of the nanocarrier design
for co-delivery of different mRNAs with distinct expression kinetics. The
approach encompasses the selection of relevant antigen and endogenous
adjuvants for mucosal vaccination, and a proof-of-concept study with a
vaccine-relevant antigen showing stimulation of protective immunity against
viral infection. The project represents a strong and close cooperation with
the Department of Vaccinology (Prof. Dr. Carlos A. Guzman) at the Helmholtz
Center for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig.
Thus, the candidate will have the challenging task to work at the interphase
of nanocarrier design and immunology to develop new mRNA based vaccination
strategies. The candidate will design and produce innovative nanocarriers
based on polymers, lipids and vaccine formulations thereof for controlled
release of mRNAs. In vitro testing on cells and tissue for observation of
transgene expression (both reporter molecules and antigen/adjuvant candidates)
is performed for optimization of the delivery system on transfection efficacy
and expression kinetics. The candidate will also travel to our collaboration
partner to exchange and share techniques and reagents.
Prerequisite:
* Master’s Degree or equivalent in pharmacy, biology, or a related field within the life sciences
* Excellent English communication skills (written and spoken)
* Ability to work independently and as part of an international team
* A strong interest in nucleotide delivery and vaccination as well as some experience with cell culture and knowledge in immunology are highly beneficial
* The project demands a well-structured and communicative working style
* Experience on nanocarrier production and characterization is an advantage

Joint PhD Opportunity in Cell-Scale MRI with University of Melbourne and
Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel |
One funded project is available on [Cell-Scale
MRI](https://jmjphd.research.unimelb.edu.au/2021/01/21/cell-scale-mris/) as
part of a joint PhD collaboration between The University of Melbourne (UoM)
and HUJI. GRs participating in the joint program will be enrolled at both
institutions and will spend a minimum of 12 months at the host institution.
Funding includes a full scholarship, health insurance and mobility support.
The project, led by the Prawer group from The University of Melbourne will
develop an integrated diamond chip suitable for deployment in a diamond-based
MRI system, aimed at detecting MRI signals on the cellular level. Based on an
optical magnetic microscope concept, we will optimize the various aspects of
the system for the cellular MRI goal. The discrete component parts of such a
system are well known. However, integration of all the components on a single
chip which would allow for easy deployment in biological environments, has not
yet been accomplished. This project, based on nanofabrication techniques
developed at the University of Melbourne, will aim to for such integration and
early demonstration of sensitivity in in-vitro operation |

Early-Stage Research (PhD Position) |
A 3-year PhD fellowship is available in the Department of Sensory Analytics
and Technologies at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and
Packaging IVV in Freising, Germany, with an expected start 1st January 2022.
The fellowship is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No
956481 within the RASOPTA project.
**About the project:** The RASOPTA consortium consists of enthusiastic
academic researchers and innovative non-academic partners, which together will
train a new generation of scientists with expertise in sustainable and healthy
fish production with minimum water consumption. Production of fish in
recirculated aquaculture systems (RAS) requires experiences from several
scientific disciplines, but there is need to bridge existing knowledge gaps
between these disciplines to ensure a high water quality, healthy and non-
stressed fish, and a supreme consumer quality of the fish. Therefore, in
RASOPTA state-of-the-art training in important disciplines within RAS
technology will be provided by ten universities and research institutes and
eight non-academic partners in eight countries. Primary goals of the training
are to improve microbial processes to maintain a high water quality, to
identify flavour compounds that may affect consumer preference for fish from
RAS, and to ensure an optimum health and welfare of the fish. The research
also aims at developing a DNA-based chip for early warning of quality and
health of the fish. To reach the interdisciplinary goals in RASOPTA, the
consortium will train 12 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) in disciplines ranging
from chemistry, microbiology and molecular biology, to physiology and
pathology of fish.
**About the vacancy:** Together with three other Early Stage Researchers
(ESRs; to be recruited by the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and
Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg in Erlangen, Germany),
you will contribute to RASOPTA’s work package 2, which focuses on the
investigation and the development of managing strategies regarding off-
flavours in fish and water of RAS. Specifically, the project will focus on the
impact of feed ingredients on the off-flavour in fish flesh. You will explore
the direct and indirect relationship between fish feed and off-flavour levels
in RS water and fish by sensory characterization and analysis of different
feeds and resolve the influence of different feeds on fish health, microbial
growth and activity in relation to water quality. You will work in close
collaboration with the ESRs in Copenhagen and Erlangen, who will work on
additional aspects of off-flavour generation in different RAS systems.
Mobility within RASOPTA is of high importance and you are therefore expected
to spend two months at University of Copenhagen, and two months at RAS
production units in Denmark and France. You will be enrolled as a PhD at FAU
Erlangen-Nürnberg and are expected to participate in the training programme of
RASOPTA with at least 12 ECTS. At FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, a comprehensive
training programme is also available, offered by the Graduate Centre of FAU. |

Postdoctoral position in Developmental Neurobiology |
The Postdoctoral position is offered by the Research Area of Creatio, the
Production and Validation Center of Advanced Therapies of the University of
Barcelona to work in the project entitle: “In vivo reprogramming to rescue
alterations in Huntington’s disease”.
The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team to investigate how
neurodevelopment is affected in Huntington’s disease.
The selected candidate will be incorporated November 1st, 2021.
Project Summary
Huntington’s disease (HD) is the most common inherited neurodegenerative
disorder caused by mutations in the huntingtin gene. While the onset of HD
starts around midlife, our knowledge on the alterations that occur during
brain development and how they translate into the pathology in the adult is
scarce. The present proposal addresses this fundamental yet poorly understood
question by characterizing the effects of HD in neuronal progenitors and
circuit assembly during development and their impact on neuronal functionality
at postnatal stages. We aim to revert these alterations by cell reprogramming
to delay the onset or diminish HD phenotype in the adult. We believe that
connecting neurodevelopmental alterations with the HD pathophysiology will
greatly improve our current understanding and open up new strategies to treat
this incurable disease.

PhD student in Spin- and magneto-caloritronic effects in twisted 2D materials |
Description
Over the last decade, a new field in solid-state physics has captured the
imagination of a range of scientific disciplines. Spin caloritronics, in which
transport of spin and of heat are linked, presents us with many fundamental
questions, but also exciting practical prospects. Can spin caloritronics help
us turn waste heat into useful electricity? Although such a breakthrough is
still far away, researchers dream of turning these new building blocks into
ground-breaking innovations like highly efficient energy harvesting devices,
thermally driven spin sources, thermal spin-transfer torques or magnetically
switchable cooling systems. The development of any of these innovations
however hinges on in-depth fundamental insights that are currently lacking. We
first need to understand the microscopic processes and material parameters
responsible for spin caloritronic effects, and this is the topic of this
project. To this end, model systems with high crystal quality and at the same
time wide tunability of their properties are needed. The recently discovered
class of twisted 2D heterostructures might offer this long-sought degree of
control.
The aims of this PhD project are 1) to develop a nanoscale thermometry probe
as a tool for in-depth local investigations of the spin caloritronic and
thermal transport properties of low dimensional heterostructures to optimise
their spin caloritronic efficiency; 2) to study the local thermoelectric
response of (twisted) 2D materials.
To this end, you will fabricate devices with (twisted) 2D-ferromagnets
(2D-FMs) as channel material. You will then use the new nanoscale thermometry
probe for an in-depth study of the local spin caloritronic/thermoelectric
properties – at low cryogenic temperatures and high magnetic fields – of such
structures.
Your thesis will be part of the recently funded DREAMS project ("Actions de
recherche concertées"). Thus, you will be working in an international
environment in one of the leading universities of Europe, with access to the
state-of-the art micro/nano fabrication and testing facilities. You will be
contributing to a challenging, interdisciplinary topic in a team comprising of
physicists, material scientists and electrical engineers.
What you will do
* Develop a new scanning thermal microscope (SThM) and implement it into one of our mK cryostats.
* Fabricate 2D van-der-Waals heterostructures.
* Clean room device fabrication.
* Cryogenic electrical quantum transport measurements.
* Cryogenic scanning probe microscopy.
* Data evaluation and modelling.
* Present your results in scientific articles and on international conferences and workshops.
Conditions of employment
This PhD position is funded for 2 years with the possibility to extend to 4
years. A desired starting date is October 2021.
To formally apply to this position, please provide a letter of motivation, a
scientific CV, a transcript of your master’s degree and the name of 3
references (senior scientists).
The host institutions has supportive policies in place to facilitate a diverse
and inclusive working environment
(). We strongly encourage
applications from women and under-represented groups. |

Additive Manufacturing Processing and Shape Memory Effect Characterisation of
Nitinol (Ref No. WD_2020_72_WSCH) |
Post summary
Additive Manufacturing Processing and Shape Memory Effect Characterisation of
Nitinol
This project will focus on the additive manufacturing processing and the
material characterisation of biocompatible Nitinol material. Nitinol is a
Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) alloy that is a shape memory alloy, giving it two
unique properties, pseudo-elasticity and the shape memory effect. The material
can be plastically deformed at low temperatures and then be restored to its
original shape at temperatures above a characteristic temperature. Given these
properties, Nitinol is an ideal candidate material for stent applications,
where the transformation temperature is close to body/room temperature.
Additive manufacturing (AM) opens up a new design space for components,
lending itself to the manufacture of customised geometries that can enhance
biomedical treatments, such as customized stents with specific vessel
diameters and anatomy to suit specific patient. However, challenges exist for
the processing of Nitinol via AM, as it is difficult to achieve the required
mechanical properties and phase transformation temperatures. This project will
investigate the effect of processing parameters and post-processing treatments
on the shape memory effect and mechanical properties of AM Nitinol. This will
result in the development of AM Nitinol stents for the improved internal
structure and support to vessels within the body. |

Marie Curie Post Doc position in INiBICA: Expression of Interest for Hosting a
Marie Curie Fellowship |
HOSTING SUMMARY
The group: Diabetes Mellitus and associated complications leading by Prof
Manuel Aguilar at the Biomedical research and innovation Institute of Cadiz
(Spain) is interested in hosting a Marie Curie Fellowship in Immunomodulation
in early stages of Diabetes Mellitus: a potential target for new treatments. 2
Marie Skłodowska-Curie projects are offered to be supervised by Dr Ana Arroba.
Dr Ana Arroba has been working in immunomodulation during 11 years. After
getting her bachelor degree on Biology, she defended her thesis on
neurodegenerative processes during Diabetes Mellitus type 1 and joined Dr. de
la Rosa and Prf. F. de Pablo´s group, as a postdoctoral fellow at CIB-CSIC. In
a second postdoctoral fellow, she joined Cotter´s Lab in University College of
Cork (Ireland). Her research experience is focused on neuroprotection and
immunomodulation during degenerative diseases (Diabetes, Retinitis pigmentosa,
Diabetic retinopathy, Prion Diseases,..). Dr Ana Arroba has published more
than 37 scientific peer-reviewed scientific articles and has taken part of 25
national and 2 international projects.
HOSTING DETAILS
Description of the center:
This project will be carried out at the Proteomic Core facility in the INiBICA
(Biomedical Research and Innovation Institute of Cadiz). INiBICA links the
health focused research developed between the hospital and the University of
Cadiz (UCA). Its main objective is to stimulate, develop and harmoniously
integrate basic, clinical and public health research, and to potentiate
transnational research to encourage better sharing of the scientific advances
in the areas of the prevention and treatment of the most common health
problems.
Both institutions, INiBICA and UCA, are dedicated to excellence in patient
care, research and education. They all serve local, national and international
communities with all the aspects of their mission. Fully equipped laboratories
for developing this project (animal care, cell cultures, histology approaches)
are available in the different departments. FCADIZ is a private non-profit
organization which The Foundation manages the activity of the Cadiz Institute
of Biomedical Research and Innovation, hereafter referred to as INiBICA.
INiBICA (managed by Foundation of Cadiz, FCADIZ) offers coverage for every
healthcare area in the province of Cadiz, with a population of more than 1.2
million people who are potential beneficiaries of the activities carried out
by the Institute. INiBICA principally consists of the University Hospital
Puerta del Mar (Cadiz) and the University of Cadiz, which form its basic
nucleus, together with the group of Public Health Centres of the province of
Cadiz. In total, it manages more than 780 researchers and an annual budget of
some three million euros, a figure which increases yearly.
Description of the group:
Diabetes Mellitus and associated complications Research Group is a dynamic and
multidisciplinary team belonging to the Department of Endocrinology and
Institute for Biomedicine Research and Innovation in Cadiz (Instituto
Investigación e Innovación Biomédica de Cádiz-INIBICA). The Diabetes Research
Team works at the intersection of basic research of diabetes and its
complications with a focus on translational aspects to improve population
health.
The Post-doctoral Fellow will be in charge of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action
Individual Fellowships (MSCA IF) funded project that aims to investigate the
relationship between the modulation of inflammatory parameters and new
therapeutic approaches.
Description of the project/projects:
* Project 1 Objective: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) is caused by a loss of beta cell mass mediated by a selective autoimmune process. It is started by an inflammatory phenomenon characteristic -insulitis- and is exerted by the action of pro-inflammatory and radical cytokines free by altering the proliferation / cell death balance. Macrophages at the level systemic and microglia in the retinal environment are important regulators of these processes and their loss in tissues determines an inflammatory state. The inflammatory process. It also seems to play a fundamental role in the appearance and progression of main complications of DM such as retinopathy. Along these lines, the increased presence of macrophages of the proinflammatory subtype 1 (M1) during DM, in classical pro-inflammatory cytokines in a pre-diabetic state. Relying on the duality of macrophages, recent studies have shown that the presence of macrophages in subtype 2 (M2) or anti-inflammatories may participate in the Pancreatic regeneration in the diabetic context. This duality is the cornerstone of our study, since we intend to modulate the onset or progression of DM and / or its complications by inducing M2 response in macrophages such as the microglia (retinal immune system) using bioactive molecules of marine origin, which they have anti-inflammatory effects. These bioactive molecules will be encapsulated in biopolymers, since the efficacy of a pharmaceutical treatment is often seen counteracted by inadequate permeability of the target cell membrane, which prevents treatments from reaching their specific intracellular targets. Objectives are: 1) Obtaining a collection of bioactive natural products from both, marine origin and synthetic analogues. 2) Bioactivity assay of the compounds in immune, pancreatic and retinal cell lines. Determination of intracellular signaling pathways involved in the anti-inflammatory response. 3) Level study molecular structure of compounds and bioinformatic design of their mechanism of action. 4) Encapsulation and release of molecules with bioactivity in polymers endowed with pancreatic and / or retinal tropism. 5) Analysis of the efficiency of action of the encapsulated biomolecules with specific tropism in organotypic cultures (ex vivo) of the retina and pancreas of the animal model of T1DM, as. as in the in vivo system using the BB rat.
* Project 2 Objective: The proteomic pattern analysis can help identify critical differences between each state of DM1, which may contribute to classify patients according to their condition and apply a treatment personalized and / or proceed to preventive intervention. Thus, the analysis of proteomic profiles at different stages of the progression of DM1 could become a useful tool for the management of DM, due to the great information related to the evolution of the disease and possible secondary complications that could appear DM1 and its complications (retinopathy and nephropathy) present a specific pattern of progression that is not established under any clinical parameter. The identification of the proteomic profiles at each stage of the disease and their association with the development of complications could provide us with a tool useful for the diagnosis and prevention of DM1 and its complications. Objectives: 1. Obtaining biological samples from human populations representative of the different stages of DM1. 2. Proteomic analysis of the biological samples obtained (serum, tear, urine) in patients with DM1. 3. Bioinformatic analysis of the parameters obtained. 4. Validation of potential predictive biomarkers of DM1 and its complications.

PhD: Proton therapy and the Developing Connectome in Pediatric Brain Tumors |
For pediatric brain tumor patients, cranial irradiation is known to result in
neurotoxicity and long-term neurocognitive decline, which hugely affects their
long-term quality of life. Previously, neuroimaging studies reported
widespread brain alterations after conventional photon (X-ray) beam
radiotherapy (XRT). However, it has not been investigated yet how XRT affects
the neural connections in the brain, i.e. the so-called connectome, and what
the potential impact on neurocognitive functioning is. In this respect, proton
beam radiotherapy (PBT) holds great promise, targeting the tumor more
precisely, resulting in decreased secondary (scatter) radiation. This allows
better sparing of the healthy brain tissue as compared to XRT. So, PBT holds
promise to improve treatment while reducing a negative impact on
neurocognitive functioning. As from 2020 onwards PBT is available in Belgium
for pediatric brain tumor patients, early detection of neural damage will be
critical in order to closely follow-up and optimize this promising innovative
technology.
In this PhD project, we aim to detect the extent of neurotoxic impact of both
XRT and PBT on the brain connectome and neurocognitive functioning in
pediatric brain tumor patients. Susceptibility and functional importance of
brain areas is investigated, by implementing a state-of-the art multimodal
neuroimaging protocol combined with neurocognitive assessments. To this end,
two studies will be conducted: (1) one XRT-treated survivor study and (2) one
longitudinal follow-up study of pediatric patients treated with PBT. The main
objective of this monocentric study is to limit neurotoxicity of PBT and work
towards optimization of the treatment in pediatric brain tumor patients.
The multi-modal MR neuroimaging information in combination with in-depth
neurocognitive testing will allow to thoroughly investigate radiation-induced
cognitive impairment in pediatric brain tumor patients. The acquired knowledge
will consequently be applied to spare functionally important brain structures
in the application of PBT in pediatric brain tumor patients. As such, this
innovative interdisciplinary project will help to set-up future neuroimaging-
guided, vulnerable brain region-sparing radiotherapy protocols, limiting
neurotoxic sequelae. |

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION ON THE ISOLATION OF THERAPEUTICALLY RELEVANT G PROTEIN-
COUPLED RECEPTORS (GPCRS) |
The team “Functional Pharmacology and Pathophysiology of Membrane Receptors”
of Dr. R Jockers (Institut Cochin, Paris) and the CALIXAR biotech company
(Lyon) are looking for a postdoctoral researcher (2 years) interested in
working at the interface of academic and industrial research.
G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are excellent drug targets with great
potential in the treatment of many diseases. Recent major advances in GPCR
expression, purification opened new perspectives for drug design,
anti(nano)body production and structural biology.
The proposed project is based on a long-standing collaboration between the
laboratory of Dr. Ralf Jockers, a specialist in GPCR pharmacology, and
CALIXAR, a French biotech company specialized in the preparation of high-
quality membrane proteins. CALIXAR’s approach allows to preserve the original
structure and function of membrane proteins (GPCRs, Ion Channels,
Transporters, Receptors, Anchors and Viral Proteins) providing solutions for
pharmaceutical industries, biotechnology companies and academic teams to
develop conformational antibodies, formulate new vaccines, carry out Structure
Based Drug Discovery and/or HTS assays.
The project will consist in the preparation of novel and therapeutically
highly relevant GPCRs. The candidate should have a solid background in
biochemistry of membrane proteins. Specific knowledge on GPCRs, structural
biology or intracellular signaling would be an advantage. The project requires
also basic cell culture and molecular biology techniques. The candidate should
be strongly motivated to work at the interface of academic and industrial
research and should hold a PhD obtained in 2019, 2020 or 2021. Following the
acceptance of the project in the frame of the “Plan France Relance”, the
candidate will be employed by Inserm with the possibility to be hired by
Calixar at the end of the project.
The expected starting date of the 2-year position is between Nov 2021 – Jan
2022.

PhD on turbulence physics and automatic learning |
I am offering up to 2 PhD positions funded by the Caust ERC advanced grant
() , which centres on exploring
the role of simulations of turbulent flows in the limit of ‘zero’ computing
cost (mostly on GPUs), and on the analysis of the resulting data. What ‘free’
simulations allow is ‘Monte-Carlo’ research, in which ideas are ‘randomly’
tested and only evaluated afterwards, in the hope that some of them be
fruitful. Their main advantage is expected to be to alleviate ‘paradigm lock’,
in which radically new ideas are unlikely to get tested, and knowledge gets
stuck in a local optimum. Ensembles of cheap simulations also provide causal
information about what the effect of a particular ‘random’ initial condition
is. The main result in turbulence is expected to be the identification of
novel flow structures, with definitions grounded in the underlying physical
effect instead of, as is most common, on properties assumed a-priori to be
important (e.g. intensity). In particular, we will search for flow
configurations that are ‘causally most sensitive’ to perturbations, in the
sense that the perturbations are most effective when applied on them. Both the
probing perturbations and the receptive flow states constitute ‘causes’. The
flows examined will mainly be wall-bounded turbulent ones. Your job will be to
convert all this into reality, including, most importantly, to think.
These are fellowships intended for writing a PhD theses within an established
international group. Expected duration is about 4 years, with a maximum of 5. |

Postdoctoral Fellow in Functional Genomics/Glycomics |
**Summary of Position**
The Wisnovsky lab is inviting applications for a postdoctoral research
position. The successful candidate will work on several interconnected
projects that apply cutting-edge CRISPR genomic screening techniques to map
pathways regulating aberrant glycosylation in cancer. In addition to research
responsibilities, the successful candidate will be expected to take on a
leadership role in mentoring undergraduate and graduate-level researchers. We
provide a supportive, dynamic research environment with strong opportunities
for professional growth, project leadership and collaboration. Funding is
guaranteed for at least two years with possibility of renewal.
**The Wisnovsky Lab**
The Wisnovsky lab (wisnovskylab.ca) is based at UBC in the Faculty of
Pharmaceutical Sciences. Our group studies the cell-surface glycome, a dense
network of sugar molecules that coats the surface of every living cell. The
glycome plays a fundamental role in regulating the activity of our immune
system, helping immune cells to distinguish normal, healthy cells from
abnormal cells and invading pathogens. In diseases like cancer, the structure
of the cell-surface glycome becomes profoundly altered, allowing tumour cells
to escape immune detection. We apply CRISPR genomic screening technologies to
better understand the complex genetic mechanisms that regulate these changes
in cellular glycosylation. The overarching goal of our research is to identify
druggable pathways that can be targeted to modulate glycosylation, generating
new therapeutic options for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune disease.
**Qualifications**
• Ph.D. in biochemistry, cell biology, molecular genetics or a related field.
• Extensive prior experience with human cell culture and basic molecular
biology techniques is an absolute requirement.
• Candidates with experience in pooled CRISPR/shRNA screening, next-generation
sequencing, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and/or primary immune cell
culture are strongly preferred.
• The successful candidate is also expected to maintain a collaborative,
collegial attitude towards team members of all experience levels.
**How To Apply**
Prospective candidates should send a cover letter, CV and contact information
for three references to
[simon.wisnovsky@ubc.ca](mailto:simon.wisnovsky@ubc.ca). This position will
remain open until a suitable candidate is found. No telephone calls or drop-in
inquiries are accepted. Follow-up interviews will be conducted over Zoom. Only
those under consideration will be contacted for follow-up interviews. The
approximate desired start date is January 1, 2022 but can be flexible for the

Doctoral Researcher (f/m/d) Project A13 “Dispersive estimates for wave
equations with low regularity coefficients” (75%) |
**Area of research:**
PHD Thesis
**Part-Time Suitability:**
The position is suitable for part-time employment.
**Starting date:**
29.07.2021
**Job description:**
The Collaborative Research Center “Wave phenomena – analysis and numerics”
(CRC 1173) has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2015.
Its goal is to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually
manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis
and numerics.
The Project A13 “Dispersive estimates for wave equations with low regularity
coefficients” ([www.waves.kit.edu/A13](http://www.waves.kit.edu/A13)) aims at
developing a new approach to Strichartz and dispersive estimates that exploits
structural properties of the operators involved rather than solely relying on
regularity properties of the coefficients. Our new approach is based on
generalized Fourier integral operators through operator theory.
We seek a doctoral researcher with keen interest in analytic aspects of wave
propagation and a strong background in harmonic analysis, dispersive partial
differential equations, or operator theory. Your work will focus on the
development of dispersive estimates as well as Strichartz estimates in low
regularity settings. You will closely cooperate with peers from analysis to
advance and refine existing model cases and explore novel approaches. You will
have the opportunity to attend conferences, workshops and summer schools.
Engagement in teaching is encouraged.
We provide an inspiring, attractive, interdisciplinary, and internationally
recognized scientific environment with access to excellent facilities of the
KIT, a wide scope of advanced training options within our integrated research
training group, and flexible working time models. Our CRC aims at the
implementation of equal opportunities, it promotes diversity and supports
persons with childcare or eldercare responsibilities as well as persons with
disabilities. Funds for travel and guests are available through the CRC.

PhD position (f/m/d) in cooperation with SAP: SAP Analytics Cloud -
Optimization Enhancements and Uncertainty Considerations |
**Area of research:**
PHD Thesis
**Starting date:**
27.07.2021
**Job description:**
SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) in its current form provides quantitative support to
businesses in terms of reporting, visualization and forecasting. However,
systematic support based on prescriptive models for these decisions is missing
in the current SAP Analytics Cloud infrastructure. The goal of this research
project is therefore to identify return-oriented mathematical models and
solution methods for optimization under data uncertainty and to find a way for
these models to take advantage of the comparatively good data situation
prevailing in SAC to better support strategic decisions. The resulting data
and optimization models should allow decision options to be visualized and
evaluated according to the uncertain data situation. The models and methods
found should then be used to fill the gaps that currently exist in the SAP
Analytics Cloud for prescriptive planning in the strategic area. The
methodological enhancements of the planning module will be developed after the
identification of crossindustry commonalities of revenue-oriented planning at
different planning levels and evaluated on a selection of companies from
different industries using the existing database of the SAP Analytics Cloud
with the help of prototype implementations. In perspective, the method
portfolio of the SAP Analytics Cloud can then be expanded to include these
models.

Studying Electrocatalysis |
_Do you want to use your knowledge of chemistry and physics to help reduce
climate change? As a PhD Candidate, you will develop and apply operando NMR
methods for studying electrocatalysis. You will work towards the goal of
reducing CO2 emission via green electrochemical synthesis of commodity
chemicals such as ammonia._
The Magnetic Resonance Research Center at the Institute for Molecules and
Materials of Radboud University Nijmegen is looking for a PhD candidate to
develop and apply operando NMR methods for studying electrocatalysis under the
supervision of Dr [Evan Wenbo Zhao](https://www.ewzhaogroup.org/) (tenure-
track assistant professor). The system of particular interest is
electrochemical reduction of nitrogen. The PhD project has two major
components - one is operando NMR method development and the other is
electrocatalysis. You will therefore be expected to develop a skill set in NMR
spectroscopy, electrochemistry and catalysis. This combined skill set will be
much in demand in academia and industry upon your successful graduation. The
overarching goal of this PhD project is to help reduce CO2 emission through
green electrochemical synthesis of commodity chemicals such as ammonia. We
contribute to this goal by pushing the fundamental understanding of reaction
mechanisms through the new NMR approach.

PhD Position in Advanced Seismic Imaging and Machine Learning for Earthquake
Site Response Studies |
Applications are invited for 1 PhD student to work on a multi-disciplinary
research project funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) as part of the
DeepNL research initiative. This PhD position will be in the Section of
Applied Geophysics and Petrophysics; however, the student will also work
closely with the Section of Geoengineering. Using active and passive seismic
data and advanced seismic imaging schemes, the innovative research will
provide a 3D, detailed characterization of the shallow subsurface that
complements discrete cone penetration test (CPT) data. The obtained
correlation between seismic data and an extensive CPT database will be used to
develop a machine-learning tool for generating additional geotechnical
datasets for Groningen and elsewhere. The final goal is to facilitate a more
realistic earthquake site-response analysis through incorporation of 3D
heterogeneities in soils.
The PhD student will be responsible for conducting 3D-seismic synthetic tests,
innovative field experiments, and full-waveform inversion to obtain high-
resolution, near-surface velocity fields, capturing soil lateral variability.
The information on soil lateral variability will facilitate improved site
response analysis in the SOFTTOP project (a collaborative project within
DeepNL). In particular, the PhD student will be responsible for developing a
new machine-learning tool to establish seismic-CPT correlations for predicting
CPT data at new locations.
_Department_
The Department of Geoscience and Engineering encompasses 5 sections: Applied
Geology; Applied Geophysics and Petrophysics; Geoengineering; Resource
Engineering; and Reservoir Engineering. The present PhD project will be a
collaboration between the Sections of Applied Geophysics and Petrophysics and
Geoengineering.
The Section of Applied Geophysics and Petrophysics executes a programme of
fundamental and applied scientific research and education in exploration,
engineering and environmental geophysics and petrophysics. The Section has 9
full-time and 4 part-time academic staff, and 42 PhD and postdoctoral
researchers. The Section actively contributes to the IDEA League Joint
Master's Programme in Applied Geophysics, together with ETH Zurich and RWTH
Aachen University. The Section has good computation facilities and advanced
infrastructure and instruments for field and laboratory experimental studies.
The Section of Geoengineering has 13 full-time and 6 part-time academic staff,
and 35 PhD and Post-Doctoral researchers. Areas of expertise include soil
mechanics, dykes and embankments, foundation engineering, underground space
technology, engineering geology, and geo-environmental engineering. Both
Sections have very good links with industry. |

PhD Position Modelling the Fault Slippage Mechanisms in the Presence of
Thermo-Hydraulic Phenomena |
The TU Delft is opening a PhD position in the project 'Minimizing the risk of
induced seismicity associated with geothermal energy in fractured reservoirs'.
Induced earthquakes are among the biggest problems for subsurface operations,
where especially in fractured reservoirs the risk is considered significant.
The aim of this project is to gain insight into the complex interactions
between processes inducing stress changes on faults above, in, and below a
fractured carbonate reservoir and the subsequent reactivation of these faults
in the presence of geothermal engineering activities.
In this project we will extend the Delft Advanced Research Terra Simulator
([DARTS](https://darts.citg.tudelft.nl/)) for rigorous modeling of fracture
and karst systems in the presence of thermal stresses. It will be fully
coupled with poro- and thermo-elastic effects as well as contact mechanics to
represent fractures and faults. This will increase our simulation capabilities
to account for the presence of a large fault zone in terms of flow. We will
explore various scenarios of geothermal doublets located at different
distances and relative positions in respect to the faulted and karstified
region and compare the modeling results to the data from three pilot sites..
Note that the PhD student on this numerical project will work closely together
with a PhD student on an experimental PhD project. Both PhDs will be in
contact with an international industrial/academic steering committee and work
with data from various geothermal locations. |

_Do you have a passion for research and do you want to work with enthusiastic
colleagues? And do you, as a researcher, want to contribute to our research?
Then we would like to talk to you! Read on and respond quickly!_
Wageningen Bioveterinary Research has a project group that is working on llama
single domain antibodies since 1995. These antibodies are generated by llama
immunization, selected from phage display immune libraries and produced by
expression in baker's yeast. This technique is applied within internal WUR
projects in the field of therapy and diagnostics of infectious diseases as
well as in contract research for various third parties. This work is done in
collaboration with external or internal research groups with complementary
expertise. To reduce the need of animal experiments, WBVR now aims to develop
a novel non-immune llama single domain antibody phage display library.
**Key Responsibilities of the researcher:**
* The design as well as synthesis of a large naïve and / or synthetic llama single domain antibody phage display library.
* Evaluation of library quality by performing phage display selections and evaluation of isolated binders in various in vitro assays, including affinity assays using Octet.
* A hands on mentality in the lab and supervision of one or more technicians.
* Collaboration with a senior scientist and other team members to manage research projects on recombinant llama antibodies, including commercial projects for third parties.
* Participate in client relations (reporting, discussion), write scientific publications, and participate in acquisition of novel projects in the field of recombinant (llama) antibody technology. |

of novel photocatalysts, the development of new photocatalytic methodologies,
improved reactor technology and direct industrial implementation of
photocatalytic transformations. Furthermore, the ESRs will be trained in the
PhotoReAct graduate school, acquiring scientific, personal, and soft skills.
All ESRs will perform three secondments, of which at least one is
intersectoral and carried out with an industrial partner and a second is
international. Consequently, the ESRs will have improved career prospects and
a higher employability. Due to the high degree of industrial participation,
the PhotoReAct network will provide an innovation-friendly environment where
scientific results can grow and become products or services that will benefit
European economies.
**Your responsibilities**
The position involves the rational design and implementation of novel
protocols in the area of homogeneous catalysis supported by computationally as
well as experimentally driven mechanistic studies. |

PhD project over schouderfunctie na de behandeling van borstkanker |
Decreased upper limb (UL) function is common after breast cancer treatment and
has a tremendous impact on a woman's quality of life. Since survival rates are
increasing, it is essential to identify these factors during and after breast
cancer treatment contributing to persistent UL dysfunctions in terms of
identifying targets for prospective evaluation and specific treatment
approaches at specific time points. Therefore, this project plans a
prospective cohort study to determine the prognostic value of body functions
and structures, personal factors and environmental factors according to the
International Classification of Functioning, Disease and Health (ICF) at
different time points after breast cancer surgery for persistent UL
dysfunction in breast cancer survivors. This knowledge is a crucial step in
the development of a sound prediction model for persistent UL dysfunctions and
a prospective care pathway for clinical practice. |

Background
The ERC project SLIDE is founded through a Consolidator Grant and hosted by
the University of Bologna. The principal investigator is Prof. Maria Clelia
Righi. The activities started in November 2020. The goal of the project is to
port material design paradigm based on first-principles calculations to the
field of tribology to advance the study of solid interfaces and design
materials to reduce friction. The main activity of our research group is to
develop and apply computational protocols to study materials for technological
applications. We study the material behavior and function by applying several
methods, which include density functional theory, high-throughput
calculations, classical, ab initio, and multi-scale molecular dynamics. Among
different applications of these techniques, including materials growth,
catalysis, nanomechanics, surface, and interface science, we are particularly
active in tribology, i.e., the science of interacting surfaces in relative
motion. We devote our research efforts to improve materials for reducing
friction, with the hope of contributing to the global challenges of reducing
energy losses and CO2 emissions. We actively collaborate with multinational
companies in the automotive, petroleum, and electronic-device sectors. |

PostDoc in project |
Project title:
Pathogenesis driven by RNAs with expansion of trinucleotide repeats:
mechanisms and therapeutic strategies
Project is carried out within the MAESTRO programme of the National Science
Center
Project leader: Krzysztof Sobczak, PhD
Project description:
The post-doc position is available in the Department of Gene Expression,
Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Faculty of Biology (category
A+) of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan which is the largest institution
of higher education in Poznan and one of the largest and best institutions of
higher education in Poland (statuts ID-UB).
A highly motivated researcher is sought to join the human molecular genetic
research team under the supervision of Krzysztof Sobczak, PhD. We focus on
studying the molecular pathomechanism and experimental therapy of hereditary
neuro-muscular disease (myotonic dystrophy; DM) and neurodegenerative
disorders (fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome; FXTAS).
DM1 is an RNA dominant disorder caused by expansion of a CTG repeat in the
3’-UTR of the DMPK gene. The DMPK transcripts containing highly expanded CUG
repeats (CUGexp) are retained in the nucleus in discrete foci. Their nuclear
retention is partly a function of the interaction of CUGexp RNA with poly(CUG)
binding proteins, such as, splicing factors in the Muscleblind-like (MBNL)
family. The pathogenic effects of CUGexp RNA are due in part to sequestration
of MBNL proteins, which results in is regulated alternative splicing that
these proteins normally regulate.
In our research we focus on deeper understanding of some aspects of molecular
pathomechanism of DM and FXTAS, especially associated with miRNA metabolism,
function of specific splicing factors, abnormalities in translation (RAN
translation) as well as application of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) or
small compounds to disrupt pathogenic interaction of CUGexp (DM) or CGGexp
(FXTAS) with proteins in vitro and in vivo.
Key responsibilities include:
1\. Experiments explaining the mechanism of RNA recognition by MBNL proteins
and regulation of alternative splicing by MBNLs – whole-transcriptome
approaches.
2\. Experiments explaining the mechanism of untypical RAN translation of
expanded CGG repeats in 5’UTR – whole-transcriptome approaches.
3\. Genetic screening of genes regulating both processes – looking for genetic
modifiers of above mentioned processes (1 and 2).
4\. Experimental therapy of DM1 and FXTAS using ASOs and small compounds in
vitro and animal models of diseases.
5\. Participation in preparation of manuscripts and grant proposals.
Remuneration/stipend amount/month (“X0 000 PLN of full remuneration cost, i.e.
expected net salary at X 000 PLN”):
expected net salary ~6,000 PLN = ~1,320 EUR
Position starts on: 01.09.2021
Maximum period of contract/stipend agreement: 2 years (possible extension to 4
years)
Required documents:
1\. Professional CV including scientific achievements.
2\. Copy of PhD diploma.
3\. List of publications.
4\. Letter summarizing previous work experience and future interests.
5\. Contact information for two professional references.

Nano-Enhanced Therapeutic Lens - NETLens (Ref No. WD_2020_40_WSCH_2) |
**Post summary**
Diseases of the posterior segment of the eye are increasing considerably, in
part due to an ageing population. One such disease, Age-related macular
degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of blindness in patients over sixty,
accounts for almost 10% of blindness worldwide. Its predicted global incidence
for 2020 is 196M, rising to 288M in 2040. Typical treatment involves regular
injections into the eye, which can be associated with significant patient
discomfort and potentially serious side effects, including bleeding, infection
and retinal detachment. As such, there is an unmet clinical need for the
development of new and improved drug delivery techniques to treat this and
similar diseases of the posterior segment of the eye. This project aims to
address this challenge through the development of novel nanomaterials in
conjunction with a bespoke, ‘smart’ contact lens designed to extend the
release of ocular therapeutics, presenting an ideal opportunity to improve
patient outcomes.
Novel delivery platforms such as these could greatly improve patient comfort
and outcomes by negating or reducing
the need for ocular injections. Research and experimental work will involve
the synthesis, characterization and evaluation of novel nano-enhanced delivery
systems, capable of attenuating the release profile as dictated by the
clinical need. The project is transdisciplinary in nature, incorporating
chemical, biomedical, polymeric, industrial and clinical expertise, as well as
being highly relevant to patients and industry.
The main phases of the research can be summarised as follows:
\- Baseline contact lens properties will be measured to determine the lens
material with the most suitable optical properties and affinity for the drug.
This will involve a detailed study of the drug-monomer and drug-polymer
interactions and the subsequent drug loading and release from bespoke contact
lenses. Characterisation techniques will involve a detailed study of the
monomer formulation components, polymerisation kinetics and
extraction/hydration behaviour
\- With baseline lens properties established, work will begin on the
incorporation of nanomaterials designed to further increase drug-loading and
control the rate of release. These materials will be stable in aqueous
environments and designed to release the payload to the target. Detailed
studies capturing cytotoxicity, cell-based permeation and biomarker studies
will be generated prior to selecting the optimum nanomaterial composition for
further studies
* _The final stage of the project will focus on cytotoxicity studies, as well as in vitro and ex vivo release and permeation studies using the developed lens. This phase will also focus on drug stability and release during storage, involving the development of appropriate analytical methods. A key element of this phase will be to determine the resultant effect of material incorporation on critical lens properties_ |

Finding the wallet - Digital Forensic Investigation of Cryptocurrency Wallets
and their Associated Blockchains (ICAB) (Ref No. WD (SERD)_2020_64_WSCH) |
**Post summary**
### Applications are invited for the position of a funded PhD Scholarship in
the Department of Computing and Mathematics at Waterford Institute of
Technology in Ireland. The scholarship is a part of a project called “Finding
the wallet - Digital Forensic Investigation of Cryptocurrency Wallets and
their Associated Blockchains (ICAB)” that aims to create a framework to assist
investigators in identifying, acquiring and analysing digital cryptocurrency
wallets. Applicants should have a strong interest in Cybersecurity and Digital
Forensics. Cryptocurrency wallets connect real-world users to blockchains.
When discovered during an investigation, they require careful extraction,
preservation and analysis. Wallets cannot be handled in the same way as many
other forms of digital evidence. The data cannot be simply imaged, stored and
shared. Similarly, interacting or not interacting with a wallet within a
specified time-period could trigger a fail-safe mode, putting the funds out of
reach. This project will investigate the most suitable methods for finding,
preserving and analysing the contents of digital wallets and their
blockchains. |

The role of soil structure on chemical and physical mechanisms of phosphorus
availability (Ref No. WD (SERD)_2020_70_WSCH) |
Post summary
Soil structure is the arrangement of soil pores and aggregates and is a key
indicator of soil quality. Structure is strongly influenced by land
management. Issues including erosion and compaction degrade soil structure and
impair the delivery of essential ecosystem services such as agronomic
production, water filtration, and carbon sequestration. Compacted soils have
poor infiltration capacity and promote rainfall runoff and loss of phosphorus
from applied fertilisers and from soil stores. Poorly-structured soils may be
less able to build up or draw down phosphorus stores due to limited root
penetration and impaired drainage.
This project will investigate mechanisms of runoff generation from poorly-
structured and well-structured soils and will evaluate the ability of those
soils to change phosphorus index in response to fertilizer strategies.
Applications are invited for qualified candidates interested in pursuing a PhD
in agri-environmental science. The PhD project will focus on soil physics and
chemistry, with implications for nutrient management and farm advisory. The
project will involve field research (plot and pot trials, soil sampling) and
laboratory analysis. The candidate will gain skills and experience in priority
areas under the EU Soils Strategy and will work with a collaborative team
under the supervision of Dr Sara Vero (WIT), Dr John Cleary (ITC) and Dr Mary
Harty (UCD).
Duties and responsibilities of the position will include:
* Analysis of soil structure and chemistry
* Running of plot and pot trials
* Development of SOPs and experimental design
* Literature review and scientific writing
* Liaising with the research team
The PhD student will be expected to publish in peer-reviewed journals and over
the course of the position will develop analytical and research skills and key
knowledge and experience needed for roles in the field of agriculture and
environmental science. |

Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Data Science and Instrumentation |
In this proposal, a combination of edge and cloud framework will be adopted,
implemented and tested in the context of GHG emissions data collection and
analysis. The critical issue of the proposed edge cloud architecture
investigated in this project is that it should provide a discussion of the
division of tasks that must be performed in the cloud and the tasks
implemented close to the user or data source at the edge of the network.
The proposed planner employs an optimization scheme with a decreasing horizon:
in an online environment, the path to be taken must optimize the search,
observing quantities of interest such as computed trails, temperature,
pollution, deforestation, etc. to find the best route, the quality of which is
determined by the amount of unmapped space that can be explored, taking into
account the aircraft range restrictions.
This project is suitable for a highly motivated candidate and requires
knowledge of aircraft design, autonomous systems, embedded systems, deep
neural network, machine learning, C/C++ and Python computer languages. The
candidate must have a PhD in Engineering.

PhD Candidate in Environmental Science |
_Are you passionate about mitigating climate change? Then you have a part to
play as a PhD Candidate in Environmental Science. You will explore the global
potential of restoring ecosystems to mitigate climate change while also
quantifying the benefits to biodiversity, therefore contributing to solutions
to two of the most pressing challenges of our century._
In this project you will have the opportunity to work in a multi-disciplinary
team on two of the most pressing environmental challenges of this century:
halting global biodiversity loss and mitigating climate change. The background
of this project is that reaching the Paris Accord goals will require rapid
decarbonisation of the global economy, but (likely) also carbon dioxide
removal (CDR) from the atmosphere. Most CDR options (such as enhanced
weathering and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage) rely on land, which
leads to trade-offs with biodiversity conservation. To avoid such trade-offs,
you will explore the global potential of restoring ecosystems in mitigating
climate change. In this project, you will investigate the potential and
evaluate the feasibility of, and provide recommendations for, ecosystem
restoration for climate change mitigation, while also quantifying benefits to
biodiversity. These goals will require you to use an array of assessment and
modelling techniques used in environmental science, such as meta-analysis,
species distribution modelling and integrated assessment modelling.
Besides your research, you will have a standard teaching load of 10%. Radboud
University will give you the opportunity to extend the 4-year PhD period by
another year to be partly engaged in teaching during the whole period, leading
up to the acquisition of a university teaching certificate (BKO). |

**_Job description:_**
The main goal of this position is to support the design, analysis and
administration of a large real-time Delphi survey to gauge the development and
adoption potential of automation technologies in the near future (i.e. a
decade) across industries. It will complement results from the analysis of
unstructured (big) data on science and technology and innovation that is
running in parallel.
The Research Fellow will primarily focus on conducting a large-scale global
online Delphi survey to gather intelligence on which automation technologies
are likely to advance in the near future, in which industries they will be
adopted, and to conduct which tasks.
The Research Fellow will:
* use Delphi techniques to design the survey, together with a team at UNU-MERIT and Technopolis Group, and in collaboration with all other project partners;
* use standard statistical analysis methods to parse and analyse the data, as well as text and sentiment analysis to analyse the discussion within the responses;
* support the organisation of workshops in five different countries to conduct focus groups with a selected group of experts, to discuss results from the Delphi survey and data analysis;
* work alongside the project team in UNU-MERIT, SPRU (University of Sussex) (and in collaboration with other partners) that are using data mining, machine learning, and text analysis methods to analyse unstructured data on Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) to identify emerge technologies, and estimate the industry exposure to these.

Postdoctoral Researcher Mechanisms Underlying the Plant-microbiome Interaction |
The mission of the Plant Hormone Biology group is to understand the chemical
communication of plants with other organisms in their environment. We study
how plants produce and secrete signaling molecules from their roots and how
this affects the behavior of other organisms in the soil. Plant roots house
one of the most diverse, yet vastly neglected, microbial communities on Earth.
The aim of the Gravitation program, MiCRop, is to harness the genomic
potential of root microbes as a new platform for improved stress resilience of
future crops and sustainable food production. Working with groups at the
University of Amsterdam (UvA), Free University (VU), Utrecht University (UU),
Wageningen University (WU) and The Netherlands Institute for Ecological
Research (NIOO), you will: (1) Unlock how wild and cultivated plant species,
across the plant kingdom, recruit their microbial partners to cope with
environmental stress (2) Harness microbiome functions to optimise future crop
resilience and performance in a changing climate.
We are seeking a postdoc candidate to investigate the mechanisms underlying
the role of signaling in stress-induced changes in plant root microbiome
recruitment and the stress-protective effect this change causes. From the data
generated in MiCRop you will distill interesting effects, particularly in
relation to phosphate shortage and/or biotic stress and investigate the
mechanism underlying these effects. Examples of possible research directions
are the role of biosynthetic enzymes, transcription factors, transporters and
receptors in the interaction, through signaling, of the plant and their
microbiome; you will use a range of approaches, such as, but not necessarily
limited to, omics data analysis, bioinformatics, gene cloning and
(heterologous) protein characterization, mutants, transgenics, analytical
chemistry and microbiome analyses.
**What are you going to do**
You are expected:
* to study the effect of phosphate and/or biotic stress on plant root microbiome recruitment;
* to investigate the underlying mechanisms, with an emphasis on plant signaling;
* to collaborate with a Netherlands-wide team of PhD students, tenure trackers, data analysts and PIs on the analysis of microbiome recruitment strategies in plants;
* to (co-)supervise PhD, Bachelor and Master students. |

Postdoctoral Researcher in Thermodynamic Properties of Correlated Topological
Matter |
An ambitious experimental physicist to explore the transport and thermodynamic
properties of candidate topological correlated electron systems with the
potential to be tuned through a putative quantum critical point in their
respective phase diagrams, and probe the novel phases of matter that emerge in
the vicinity of this critical point. You will investigate new emergent
phenomena made accessible by carefully selected material platforms and a
unique combination of tunable environments – such as extreme magnetic fields
up to 38 T, pressure, doping or uniaxial strain – in order to advance our
understanding of interacting topological systems and, in particular, the
prospects for new physics and functionality in the vicinity of topological
quantum phase transitions.
Magnetotransport, specific heat, thermopower and thermal expansion probes will
be employed in combination with high magnetic fields to explore the electronic
ground state in many-body systems and topological matter, in particular the
window in which both topological effects and quantum criticality play an
essential role. Within the programme you will collaborate with PhD candidates
from HFML-FELIX as well as from several other universities covering a wide
range of experimental and theoretical facets. We expect you to contribute to
the daily supervision of PhD candidates and Master's students associated with
these projects, and on occasion, support our international users with your
expertise as part of the HFML-FELIX user programme. |

Doctoral student in Physics with focus on theoretical many-body physics |
Mathematical Physics is a common division between the Natural Science and
Engineering (LTH) faculties and is part of the Department of Physics. Research
is conducted primarily in the field of quantum mechanical many particle
physics, which includes theoretical nuclear structure physics, nanometer
physics, quantum information, atomic theory and material modeling, with
numerous partnerships both internationally and within Lund University.
**Work duties
** All elements are forged in a series of processes that constitute the
nucleosynthesis. However, the calculation of the neutron capture on heavy,
exotic nuclei is one of the largest sources of error in the modelling of these
nucleosynthesis processes. Some of these nuclei are starting to be produced in
new experimental radioactive ion beam facilities around the world,
constituting a timely opportunity to impact this research sitting at the
intersection of different trends.
The work will consist in the development of models for nuclear structure and
reactions, to help guide experiment and discover properties of astrophysical
processes such as the nucleosynthesis. The nucleus is modeled as a many-body
system with the objective of contributing to the development of a consistent
theory of structure and reaction that can be applied to isotopes not yet
discovered.
The development will be both analytical formulation and numerical
implementation in computational codes for high performance computing. The
development of effective Hamiltonian is the starting point of description of
nuclei. The project can concern connecting Chiral Effective Field Theory to an
effective separable Hamiltonian. Many-body methods used include Hartree-
Fock-(Bogolyubov), Green’s functions and Generator Coordinate Method, with
also the specific interest in symmetry breaking of quantum fields and
projection techniques for the description of deformed nuclei.
There will be considerable scope for the doctoral student to influence both
the design of the projects, the degree of analytical or numerical work, and
the possibilities for collaboration and travel, based on the doctoral
candidate’s ability and interest.
No previous experience in specific many-body methods or their application to
the description of the atomic nucleus is necessary, but it is considered a
merit.
The main duties of doctoral students are to devote themselves to their
research studies which includes participating in research projects and third
cycle courses. The work duties can also include teaching and other
departmental duties (no more than 20%).
**Admission requirements

Finally, the student must be judged to have the potential to complete the
programme.
**Additional requirements:**
* Very good oral and written proficiency in English.
**Basis of assessment
** Selection to postgraduate studies is based on the expected ability to
perform well in the studies. The evaluation of the ability to perform well is
based primarily on the results of studies at the basic and advanced levels, in
particular:
1. Knowledge and skills relevant to the thesis project and the subject of the study.
2. An assessment of ability to work independently and to formulate and tackle research problems.
3. Written and oral communication skills
4. Other experience relevant to postgraduate studies, such as professional experience.
**Other assessment criteria**
* Previous experience in theoretical physics. Modelling of quantum mechanical many-body systems will consist additional merit.
* Knowledge of concepts from nuclear physics or correlated quantum mechanical systems as well as competence in computational procedures.
* Programming skills.
Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and
independence, and how the applicant, through his or her experience and skills,
is deemed to have the abilities necessary for successfully completing the
third cycle programme.
**Terms of employment
** Only those admitted to third cycle studies may be appointed to a doctoral
studentship. Third cycle studies at LTH consist of full-time studies for 4
years. A doctoral studentship is a fixed-term employment of a maximum of 5
years (including 20% departmental duties). Doctoral studentships are regulated
in the Higher Education Ordinance (1993:100), chapter 5, 1-7 §§.

Post-doctoral position : Spintorque nano-oscillators for unconventional
computing |
Description of the research laboratory
The mission of SPINTEC laboratory (regrouping ~100 permanent, non-permanent
and technical staff) is to explore fundamental phenomena related to
spintronics and magnetic devices and to exploit the corresponding concepts for
conventional, unconventional and bio-inspired computing, as well as for
magnetic sensors and for microwave applications, amongst others. The work will
be carried out at the interface between different research teams : RF
Spintronics, Artificial Intelligence and Theory/simulations, as well as in
collaboration with CEA/LETI. More details see
[www.spintec.fr](http://www.spintec.fr)
Description of the research team :
The work of the RF spintronics research team concentrates on spintorque driven
magnetization dynamics in magnetic tunnel junction devices and their
applications for microwave communications and bio-inspired computing. The work
of the Artificial Intelligence research team concentrates on implementing
hardware solutions for AI and unconventional computing applications based on
spintronics devices and concepts. The LETI research team provides acces to
integration of spintronics devices with CMOS technology. The candidate will be
supervised by permanent staff of the different teams and will interact
strongly with other non-permanent staff (4 PhD students, 2 postdocs) from
these groups.
Short description and provisional end date of the project :
The postdoc position will start latest on 31/12/2021 and will last 12 months.
Spintec has recently launched its activity to explore spintronics devices and
concepts for neuromorphic and unconventional computing schemes. Several
projects have been funded for this activity. More precisely the postdoc will
be working on the STO-IM project funded by Univ. Grenoble Alpes and will be
contributing to two projects funded by CEA. Spintronics oscillators are based
on magnetic tunnel junctions, with the capability to convert a DC current into
an RF output voltage. Spintec is working on this subject for the past 15
years, and has developed a deep understanding on the different aspects of the
spintorque driven (non-linear) magnetization dynamics, including experimental
studies as well as corresponding theoretical concepts to describe and analyse
the dynamics. The proposed project will be based on this knowledge and apply
it for the development of unconventional computing schemes.
· Functions :
The task of the postdoc will be to develop a general theoretical framework to
implement arrays of coupled spintorque oscillators, that subsequently will be
exploited for specific application cases.
· Main activities : The work is divided in several tasks for which the
candidate will use our analytical and numerical simulation tools and/or
develop new tools were needed. A first task will be to survey the collective
states of different STNO arrays considering different coupling schemes and
different oscillations modes. A second task will to derive for these different
collective states analytical Kuramoto models that will be used to map a given
computational problem to the STNO array.
· Results : The project final goal will be to develop a demonstrator for some
computing application. In a first place this will be done via simulation, to
provide a guide for the experimental realization.
· Evaluation and progress monitoring: The candidate will work within a
research team (experiments and theory) and will be able to discuss on a daily
basis research results and scientific and technical questions with all team
members. Follow up of the work will be done through weekly group meetings as
well as monthly project meetings with collaborators. These will help to
identify technical problems and to propose solutions. The subject area is very
rich and many aspects need to be explored. |

PhD candidate |
Institution: Nicolaus Copernicus University
Project leader: Dr hab. Ireneusz Grulkowski, prof. UMK
Project title: _Vitreous Optical Coherence Tomography for objective diagnosis,
monitoring and outcome measures of therapeutic interventions for vitreo-
retinal diseases_
Project description:
The project aims to develop and clinically validate novel optical imaging
modality based on Optical Coherence Tomography to provide high-resolution
visualization of the vitreous body. We will quantitatively characterize
vitreous body structure in different vitreo-retinal diseases.
The new modality will facilitate fundamental research on the vitreous since it
will enable characterization of the vitreous structure in health and disease.
The project will bring important scientific benefits in the form of
understanding the fundamental issues of optical properties of the ocular
structures. Novel optical diagnostic modality capable of high-resolution
vitreous imaging will fill the gap in the current optical diagnostic
methodology that bypasses vitreous body structure. The outcomes of this
fundamental study will provide better insight and a more complete
understanding of development of vitreous-related diseases, and the role of
vitreous in visual outcome, which can be of great interest to clinicians
performing vitreo-retinal surgery. Finally, this study will also allow to
address clinically relevant questions regarding the outcome of surgical
procedures, which is directly translated to the satisfaction of patients.
Project goals:
* To develop optical coherence tomography (OCT) device for high resolution, three-dimensional, full vitreous body imaging and analysis.
* To correlate vitreous body structure abnormalities with subjects’ vision deficiency.
* To evaluate the prospect of OCT application in vitreous therapeutic interventions.
Key responsibilities include:
1\. Development of OCT setup (together with PI) and experimental procedures
for clinical examinations with human subjects.
2\. Development of data processing tools for collected results analysis.
3\. Assisting in the clinical experiments with human subjects.
All candidates will also be expected:
1\. To present results of the project in written and oral manner
(publications, conferences).
2\. To collaborate with other members of the group towards the success of the
project. |

PhD Candidate in Formal Methods for Security and Concurrency |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a
better world.
You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the position
We have a vacancy for a PhD candidate in the Systems Security Group at the
Information Security Division, within the Department of Information Security
and Communication Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and
Technology, campus Gjøvik.
For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education
up to obtaining a doctoral degree.
The topic is generally placed at the intersection between security and
concurrency with applications to many modern systems included under the term
concurrency, such as distributed and communicating systems, multi-core or
high-performance computing, or more generally systems of systems. The main
focus of the topic will be on formal methods and tools applied to novel
problems stemming from the combinations of security and highly complex
concurrent systems. Depending on the inclinations and skills of the applicant,
the work can include theoretical investigations as well as development and
improvement of existing methods and tools for solving verification challenges
in such modern applications; but the work can also include modelling and
verification of real-world protocols pertaining to, e.g., IoT, Smart Grids, or
Smart Contracts. Therefore, the research tasks can be anything from more
theoretical, designing new formalisms and algorithms, to more practical,
implementing modules, extensions, or new tools.
If the work will go in a more theoretical direction, the candidate can expect
to look into formalisms such as process algebras and their methods such as
bisimulations, or into concurrency models and the challenges these bring to
security, or into more mathematical topics including logics, relational
algebras, automata, etc. If the work will go in a more practical direction,
the candidate can expect to work with security verification tools such as
Isabelle or Tamarin.
You will report to the Head of Department.
## Duties of the position
* Work with formal tools such as Isabelle or Tamarin.
* Develop formalisms/logics/algorithms for modelling and verification of security.
* Apply formal methods to study novel problems at the intersection of security and modern concurrent systems.
* Participate in teaching and supervision duties on topics related to the above.
## Required selection criteria
* You must have a technically relevant background in Mathematics or Computer Science, with an advantage given by background in Security or Concurrent systems.
* Your education must correspond to a five-year Norwegian degree programme, where 120 credits are obtained at master's level.
* You must have a strong academic background from your previous studies and an average grade from the master's degree program, or equivalent education, which is equal to B or better compared with NTNU's grading scale. If you do not have letter grades from previous studies, you must have an equally good academic basis. If you have a weaker grade background, you may be assessed if you can document that you are particularly suitable for a PhD education (e.g., having long practical experience in relevant fields).
* You must meet the requirements for admission to the [PhD programme in Information Security and Communication Technology](https://www.ntnu.edu/studies/phisct).
* Good grades in topics close to Theoretical Computer Science or Mathematics
The appointment is to be made in accordance with the regulations in force
concerning [State Employees and Civil
Servants](https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2017-06-16-67) and [Regulations
concerning the degrees of Philosophiae Doctor (PhD) and Philosodophiae Doctor
(PhD) in artistic research national guidelines for appointment as PhD, post
doctor and research assistant
](https://lovdata.no/dokument/SFE/forskrift/2018-12-05-1878)
## Preferred selection criteria
* Both Mathematics and Computer Science count as suitable backgrounds due to the generality and inclusiveness of the topic focused on formal methods.
* Background in Security and its applications is only secondary, because formal methods techniques is the more difficult part of the topic, whereas Security is the applications part.
* Excellent written and oral English language skills should be documented either through tests or through already produced works.
* Scandinavian language speakers have advantage due to their suitability for the teaching and supervision duties of the position.
## Personal characteristics
* Motivated for research with a curious character and inquisitive mind.
* Hardworking and tenacious with a flair for detail and organization of knowledge.
* Appreciative yet critical, always looking for the differences and similarities between concepts.
* Good team and collaboration skills and appreciation for diversity of people and consideration for opposite views.
* Optimism, objectiveness.
## We offer
* exciting and stimulating tasks in a strong international academic environment
* an open and [inclusive work environment](http://innsida.ntnu.no/wiki/-/wiki/Norsk/Inkluderende+arbeidsliv) with dedicated colleagues
* Long-term stays abroad and collaboration opportunities with, e.g.: Gothenburg, Rennes, Sheffield, Warsaw, Luxembourg.
* a large number of possible industrial collaborators to provide you research results with test scenarios and innovation opportunities
* favourable terms in the [Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund](https://www.spk.no/en/)
* [employee benefits](https://innsida.ntnu.no/wiki/-/wiki/English/Benefits+and+discounts)
## Salary and conditions

Post-doc position |
Project: “Synthesis of novel class of organic emitters for TADF OLED materials
embracing curved nanographene fragments.”
In this project, we focus on the rational design and synthesis of innovative
organic architectures – nanographenes, (consisting of D-π-A structure) with
positive or negative Gaussian curvature. Furthermore, the goal of the project
is to develop an efficient and inexpensive methodology for nanographenes
synthesis. In addition, great emphasis will be put on studying the correlation
between electronic structure of nanographenes and their photophysical
properties, using theoretical (DFT calculations) as well as experimental (NMR,
UV-vis-NIR, emission, CV) approaches. Advanced low-temperature photophysical
measurements will be then performed to identify compounds with the highest
photoactivity in both, solution and solid state. Nanographenes will be
employed in ultimate task to fabricate TADF OLED devices and identify their
emissive throughput and stability.
Key responsibilities include:
1\. Carrying out the synthetic project.
2\. Evaluation of the basic optical properties of obtained species.
3\. Writing full experimental part of the description of results and the first
draft of the manuscript as well as the reports.
4\. Supervision of MSc-students and PhD-students |

PhD Students (m/f/d) |
To strengthen our excellent research team, which is focused on the development
and research of innovative approaches for the treatment of childhood cancer,
we are looking for two PhD students (m/f/d). In this responsible role, you
will have the unique opportunity to be part of a multidisciplinary competence
center for pediatric oncology and to have a direct influence on the
development of new cancer therapies.
Currently we are offering opportunities for PhD students (m/f/d) in two of our
research groups:
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The focus of the[ Boztug group ](https://www.ccri.at/kaan-boztug-group/)is on
the identification of rare monogenic disorders of the immune system and
hematopoiesis, as well as inherited predisposition to cancer, to explain
pathophysiological manifestations in humans (e.g., Salzer E et al., Science
Immunology 2020; Kalinichenko A et al., Blood 2021; Wang L et al., Nat Genet
2021). In the context of this work, the Boztug group applies a combination of
state-of-the-art genetic and genomic technologies including next generation
sequencing (NGS) and a wide range of cellular and molecular techniques to
elucidate novel pathways important for immune system homeostasis. In this
group we are offering three potential PhD projects financed by an ERC
Consolidator Grant:
* Monogenic immune dysregulation - identification and molecular dissection of novel monogenic defects causing autoimmunity/autoinflammation (e.g. IBD, SLE, partial T-cell deficiencies)
* Investigation of inherited bone marrow failures to understand the molecular basis of hematopoiesis and immunity, and the molecular origins of bone marrow-associated disease
* High-content imaging and multiscale –omics data integration for identification of targeted therapies for pediatric leukemias and solid tumors
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The [Tomazou group](https://www.tomazoulab.org/) aims to uncover the role of
epigenetic deregulation as an oncogenic mechanism, with a focus on fusion-
driven pediatric sarcomas. The Tomazou group studies how fusion proteins
rewire healthy cells for malignancy, with the perspective of exploiting this
knowledge for improving pediatric sarcoma therapy (Tomazou EM et al., Cell
Reports 2015; Sheffield NC et al., Nature Medicine 2017; Peneder P et al.,
Nature Communications 2021). Cutting-edge technologies and several model
systems are exploited to investigate the contribution of the cellular state of
the corresponding cell-of-origin to cancer development, epigenetic
heterogeneity as source of cellular plasticity as well as to identify novel,
non-genetic based biomarkers for patient stratification and real time disease
monitoring. In this group we are offering two potential PhD projects:
* Epigenetic reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment as a novel therapeutic approach for pediatric sarcomas
* Interplay of oncogenic fusions and cellular context in sarcoma: investigate why and how do certain oncogenic driver genes promote cancer in one cellular context but not in another

Doctoral Researcher (f/div/m) in fungal immune evasion mechanisms |
The Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology –

Mechanisms](https://www.leibniz-hki.de/en/microbial-pathogenicity-
mechanisms.html) invites talented and highly gifted candidates to apply as a
Doctoral Researcher (f/div/m) in fungal immune evasion mechanisms
for three years initially.
Research Areas: Microbiology, Mycology, Infection Biology, Immunology
This project is part of the DFG-funded Priority Program SPP 2225 “[Exit
strategies of intracellular
pathogens](https://www.dfg.de/en/funded_projects/current_projects_programmes/list/projectdetails/index.jsp?id=422048538&sort=nr_asc&prg=SPP)”
Project background:
Candida albicans is a human pathogenic fungus, responsible for superficial and
life-threatening systemic infections with high morbidity and mortality.
Macrophages as part of the innate immune response are central players in the
defense against fungal infection. C. albicans, however, has developed immune
evasion mechanisms. The fungus can survive in macrophage phagosomes and can
grow forming filaments inside macrophages, allowing C. albicans to ultimately
escape from the macrophages. This is coupled with macrophage inflammatory
responses such as inflammasome activation, and host cell death. Several
studies suggest that C. albicans filamentation plays an important role for
escape from macrophages by causing phagosomal rupture, inducing host cell
damage and killing.
In this project, we will investigate the triggers for C. albicans hypha
formation inside macrophages, study how C. albicans acquires nutrients inside
macrophages, identify and characterize fungal factors associated with
phagosomal damage, host cell killing and escape, and explore how host cells
can be treated to limit or block intracellular fungal proliferation and
escape.
Candidate´s profile **:**
We expect a master´s degree (or equivalent) in life sciences (e.g. biology,
biochemistry, or microbiology). Furthermore, the applicant should be able to
perform team-oriented as well as independent work. Experimental background in

Post-doctoral position in Optical monitoring for the endothehial health
evaluation in post-intensive-care COVID-19 patients |
ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated
and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in
a friendly and stimulating environment.
The successful candidate will be joining the Medical Optics Research group led
by Prof. Dr. Turgut Durduran. ICFO-Medical Optics (ICFO-MEDOPT) group was
founded in 2009 by Dr Turgut Durduran as an inter-disciplinary group that
develops new technologies using advanced photonics for pre-clinical and
clinical bio-medicine.
The group’s main expertise is in diffuse optical monitoring and tomography
which uses photon diffusion to probe “deep” (0.1-10cm) into tissues. Our
research aims to advance the field in theoretical instrumentation and
application oriented approaches in parallel. We focus on applications in
neurology and oncology and in both pre-clinical animal model studies and in
clinical human studies.
Inter-disciplinary, collaborative work forms the core of our vision and we
routinely work with biomedical centers, hospitals and engineering departments
in Spain, around Europe and abroad. In particular, we have strong ties with
other centers in Barcelona area and with researchers at the University of
Pennsylvania, USA.
_PROJECT DESCRIPTION_
A large majority of COVID-19 patients who are treated at the intensive care
unit (ICU) develop severe muscle weakness. This is because of the direct
effects of the virus but also because of the invasive therapies and management
at the ICU. Since the onset of the pandemic, thousands of patients are
observed to experience limiting fatigue and poor functional status, hindering
their return to normal life. “Long COVID” has made headlines and is partially
referring to this problem. Current data from the pandemic suggests that it
will persist in more than half of these patients even after one year. As
thousands of severe COVID-19 survivors struggle to return back to their normal
lives, to their jobs, their education, this is emerging as a major socio-
economic problem reducing the quality of life of these patients beyond what
would otherwise be due to other detrimental consequences of severe COVID-19.
However, the impact of this so-called “ICU acquired weakness” can be reduced
by early physical rehabilitation programs that start from when the patient is
still at the ICU. This was demonstrated in other critical populations, similar
to severe COVID-19 patients, such as patients suffering from acute respiratory
distress syndrome due to other viral or bacterial infections. However, a “one
size fits all” solution is not possible since every patient needs a different
approach and early physical activity could worsen some of the patients.
Therefore, detecting those patients with a higher risk or degree of muscle
impairment and its precise origins at early stages remains a challenge for
critical care clinicians. To date, physical examination is the main diagnostic
tool for muscle weakness, but physical examination performance is very limited
in the critical care setting . At an ICU, patients are receiving sedative
agents and other drugs, have limited mobility due to invasive procedures and
are unable to collaborate in many cases. Therefore, a specific parameter, able
to objectively detect muscle impairment and explain origin at early stages is
highly desirable. This will allow personalized physical interventions, aimed
at achieving improved functional status at discharge.
To date, optical technologies, such as near-infrared-spectroscopy (NIRS) and
diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), have demonstrated their value in the
evaluation of the health of the capillaries and other small vessels
(microvasculature) in muscles. They are safe, portable and relatively low-
cost. Since COVID-19 is considered to be a disease primarily affecting the
microvasculature, our aim is to evaluate the microvasculature of critically
ill COVID-19 patients at the ICU, once the lungs have improved and active
physical rehabilitation is about to be initiated.
We hypothesize that the degree of alterations in the microvasculature of the
skeletal muscle will be correlated to the degree of muscle weakness. The
confirmation of our hypothesis and the generated scientific information will
allow us to early detect those patients at higher risk of developing muscle
weakness as results of the severe COVID-19. In turn, a personalized training
and rehabilitation programme could be defined.
In this project funded by the La Marató TV3, ICFO and Parc Taulí hospital will
work together and collaborate with other networks such as HEMOCOVID-19 and
VASCOVID to address these issues with state-of-the-art optical technologies.
Tasks:
* Adaptation of near-infrared spectroscopy/diffuse correlation spectroscopy hybrid system.
* Collaboration with HEMOCOVID-19 & VASCOVID projects for system development and development of procedures for vascular occlusion test evaluation.
* Data acquisition and analysis. |

Post-doctoral position on light scattering methods for online assessment of
turbid media in food manufacturing |
ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated
and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in
a friendly and stimulating environment.
The successful candidate will be joining the Medical Optics Research group led
by Prof. Dr. Turgut Durduran. ICFO-Medical Optics (ICFO-MEDOPT) group was
founded in 2009 by Dr Turgut Durduran as an inter-disciplinary group that
develops new technologies using advanced photonics for pre-clinical and
clinical bio-medicine.
The group’s main expertise is in diffuse optical monitoring and tomography
which uses photon diffusion to probe “deep” (0.1-10cm) into tissues. Our
research aims to advance the field in theoretical instrumentation and
application oriented approaches in parallel. We focus on applications in
neurology and oncology and in both pre-clinical animal model studies and in
clinical human studies.
Inter-disciplinary, collaborative work forms the core of our vision and we
routinely work with biomedical centers, hospitals and engineering departments
in Spain, around Europe and abroad. In particular, we have strong ties with
other centers in Barcelona area, e.g. with the Barcelona Medical Photonics
Network.
_PROJECT DESCRIPTION_
This project is a collaboration with a major food manufacturer to investigate
the potential for non-invasive, online assessment of turbid samples during the
manufacturing process. A wide array of methods ranging from dynamic light
scattering to diffuse wave spectroscopy to speckle contrast methods alongside
traditional diffuse optical spectroscopic methods will be evaluated in close
collaboration with the industrial partner. The first phase of the project is
to establish the feasibility of these approaches for this specific purpose
from theoretical and laboratory assessments. The next phase may involve the
development and deployment of initial prototypes on the production line.
_TASKS:_
* Theoretical evaluation of the capabilities, limitations of the methods versus the industrial need.
* Collaboration with the industrial partner to test the proposed method on laboratory samples.
* Reporting of the findings and development of roadmaps. |

Postdoctoral Researcher in Biomaterials Science |
**Project Description**
The aim of the project is to establish a bridge between extreme biomimetics
and the science of bio-inspired materials, where the basic principle is the
use of chemically and thermally stable, renewable biopolymers to develop new
generation of bio-inspired 3D composite materials with a unique structure and
properties that will allow their use in the extreme conditions of modern times
that requires large-scale industrial applications.
Thanks to its highly innovative approach to the synthesis of composite
materials, the presented project will set ambitious research tasks. We will
discover key aspects of the molecular structure of spongin marine biomaterials
that will allow us to realize our 300-year-old dream of understanding the
chemistry and material properties of this unique biocomposite, from atomistic
structure to macro level. The presented project results from the pioneering
discovery of the triple-helix structure of the original collagen in spongin
even after carbonization at 1200°C, which is a breakthrough in extreme
biomimetics and biotechnology.
Our concept represents a truly multidisciplinary large-scale approach to
studying not only the structural properties of spongin, but also the
mechanisms of its conversion into various allotropic forms of carbon during
carbonization up to 3000°C. Focusing on two extreme biomimetic scenarios,
melting steel on carbonized spongin matrices and transforming iron-rich
spongin into "SpongoSteel" at high temperature, the project will combine a
range of disciplines, from biomaterial science to hydrothermal chemistry and
from solid state physics and to electronic materials. Extreme biomimetics will
be fully integrated into the core of the project to understand the mechanisms
of phase transformation in conditions that are quite unusual for bio-
composites. A comprehensive understanding of the development of new generation
of spongin-based composites and their impact on modern biomimetic technologies
can only be achieved through such a multidisciplinary approach. |

UCC is seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to support the development,
writing and production of Ireland’s first Five Year Assessment Report (5YAR)
on Climate Change. The report will provide an authoritative assessment of our
understanding of climate change in an Irish context, linked EU and global
analysis and to provide summary information which can inform decision making
on climate actions. It will serve to identify research gaps to inform future
research investment needs and priority research issues. It is envisaged that
this process will contribute to the development of national assessment and
analysis capacity. It should also enhance engagement with similar developments
at European and international levels and establish a structure and process to
develop future reports.
The report will be provided in a series of four thematic volumes with an
overarching synthesis report. Three of the four volumes will reflect the
structures used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in providing
its large-scale assessment report in addressing fundamental scientific
understanding, mitigation of climate change and adaptation to climate change.
The fourth volume will focus on the opportunities and realising the benefits
of the required transition and transformation arising from climate change. The
report’s structure is as follows:
• Vol. 1: Science: Ireland in a changing world
• Vol. 2: Achieving climate neutrality by 2050
• Vol. 3: Being prepared for Ireland’s future climate
• Vol. 4: Realising the benefits of transition and transformation
Each volume will be published as individual components of the 5YAR. The
completion of the 5YAR will be signalled by publication of a short synthesis
report that integrates key messages from the material in the underlying
volumes. The writing process will be led by a team of at least 8 leading
academics with at least two academics leading on the production of each of the
component volumes. The synthesis report will be provided by the full team. The
report will be focused on outcomes from research in Ireland and Europe and
build on material provided by the IPCC during its 6th Assessment cycle.
By collating the latest available scientific evidence on climate science,
mitigation and adaption specific to Ireland, this report can provide Ireland
with the necessary evidence to deliver on the new ambition to transition to a
climate resilient and climate neutral economy by the year 2050. Interaction
will be a key component of this project as selected scientific experts will
collate the science and write the reports which will be overseen and reviewed
by experts based in State Agencies and Department Officials.
**Role of the Research Fellow:**
Funding has been provided by the Environmental Protection Agency to MaREI to
lead the writing of Volume 2, “Achieving climate neutrality by 2050”. The
successful candidate will work with Prof. Brian Ó Gallachóir and Dr. Paul
Deane, Academic Lead Authors for Volume 2, to research and deliver this volume
of the report in collaboration with other contributing authors. The candidate
will have the opportunity to inform policy decisions with a particular focus
on the role that Agriculture, Forestry and Land Use will play in the
delivering Ireland’s 2050 climate mitigation objectives. In addition, the
Research Fellow will consider Ireland specific and global GHG emissions
pathways to 2050 and to 2100 by exploring costs and benefits of sectoral
emissions pathways, uncertainties related to achieving the national 2050
climate objective and identifying gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed.
The ideal candidate will have a PhD in a discipline related to climate
mitigation, such as agricultural science, economics, engineering, or a related
field, relevant postdoctoral experience, a track record of strong peer
reviewed journal publications, and a proficiency and appetite for mitigation
analysis and policy-relevant, multi-disciplinary research. The Research Fellow
will have experience in climate mitigation analysis with a developed
understanding of the state-of-the-art current research. Proven experience with
agricultural, forestry or land use modelling and climate policy analysis will
be a strong advantage. Very strong written and spoken communication skills,
including fluency in English, is an essential requirement.

**Project description:**
A PhD studentship is available in collaboration with Pilkington (NSG Group) to
explore the innovative concept of advanced optoelectronic glass. An initial
focus of the project will be the realization of fine metallic grids integrated
with conducting oxides to create novel transparent conducting electrodes as a
base technology for large surface area ‘indium free’ optoelectronics. In
addition, the project will also investigate the possibility of combining state
of the art vapour-phase techniques such as molecular vapour deposition, with
solution processed coating of dielectrics to create hybrid substrate
technologies amenable for building complex monolithic device architectures
such as transparent thin film transistor back planes. The ultimate goal is to
push the boundaries of glass as an optoelectronic interface, widening
application range, reducing embodied energy in manufacturing, and facilitating
hitherto unexplored technology spaces.
The project postgraduate research student will work closely with the
industrial partner Pilkington (based at Lathom in Lancashire) and will be co-
supervised by their technical staff. The project will also have access to
state-of-the-art facilities at the new Centre for Integrative Semiconductor
Materials due to come on-line at the Swansea University Bay Campus in 2022.
This is an outstanding opportunity to undertake technology-relevant research
in materials physics and optoelectronics. |

PhD position for Data-Driven Multi-Modal Human-Robot Interaction within DI lab |
One of the most pressing matters that holds back robots from taking on more
tasks and reach a widespread deployment in society is their limited ability to
understand human communication and take situation-appropriate actions. These
PhD positions are dedicated to addressing this gap by developing the
underlying data-driven models that enable a robot to engage with humans in a
socially aware manner.
In order to support long-term interaction, robots need rich models of
interaction that include their social context and allow them to act
appropriately when faced with uncertainty. Humans use a range of verbal and
non-verbal cues to regulate their interactions and are able to adapt how they
communicate and cooperate to fit the needs and preferences of their
interaction partners. Personalization and adaptation is needed to enable
robots to assist people with varying backgrounds and abilities.
The successful applicant will develop machine-learning based and knowledge
modelling techniques applied to multi-sensor data (video, audio etc.) of human
behaviour that address both the complexity of the multi-modal nature of
interactions and uncertainty regarding the sensor data and social
situation.The applicant will design and run the experiments to evaluate the
created hybrid-AI models through human-robot interaction.
Topics of interest:
1) long-term human-robot interaction
2) affective computing
2) NLP&argument-mining
3) planning & learning for HRI
4) assistive robotics
To strengthen the social robotics strand of the Interactive Intelligence Group
at TU-Delft there are currently two positions available with potential for
collaboration. When you're interested in the other vacancy please have a look
at: [PhD position in Data-Driven Multi-Model Human-Robot

PhD position on Quantitative constraints on pre-production reservoir stresses
in Groningen (1.0 FTE, 4 years) |
The Department of Earth Sciences at Utrecht University is currently seeking a
highly motivated PhD candidate to work on the research project "Quantitative
constraints on pre-production reservoir stresses in Groningen". This project
was selected for funding by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) in the context of
the DeepNL research programme, which aims to improve the fundamental
understanding of the dynamics of the deep subsurface under the influence of
human interventions.
An interdisciplinary team involving Rob Govers (Tectonophysics) and Douwe van
Hinsbergen (Global Tectonics & Paleogeography) from Utrecht University, and
Wouter van der Wal (Glacial Isostatic Adjustment) from Technical University
Delft seeks a PhD student to work in a collaborative programme on estimating
natural stresses in the gas reservoir of Groningen (Netherlands). The
Groningen gas field ranks amongst the 10 largest in the world. About 50% of
the gas was produced, in some years at high rates, during the first three
decades without inducing seismicity. The year 1991 was a tipping point as
induced earthquakes started to occur in the reservoir at increasing numbers
and magnitudes, and the events continue today. Understanding this tipping
point is important. Was the magnitude of natural stress in the rock low, and
did it take 30 years of production to increase the stresses to a level where
they exceeded the strength of the faults? Or, alternatively, where the natural
stresses in the rock high, and did it take 30 years before the pre-existing
fault where rebroken, and are they weaker now? The evolution of post-
production seismicity hinges on answering these questions, which is why we aim
to constrain the natural stresses before 1960.
Natural stresses are the consequence of tectonic processes and may also have a
footprint of the last ice age. Physically consistent models of the entire
Eurasian plate will allow us to estimate the tectonic forces and to identify
mechanically weak and strong sub-regions that result in the intraplate stress
field. Finite element model estimates of stress and velocities will be
compared with stress and GPS observations. We will use Bayesian methods to
estimate the likely range of the direction and magnitude of natural stress in
Groningen from the models and the observations. Possible stress contributions
will be assessed from separate models of glacial isostatic adjustment after
the melting of the Fennoscandian and British-Irish ice sheets. The
geologically rapid tectonic reorganisation of Mediterranean plate boundaries
will be another source of stress in the Netherlands that we intend to
investigate. If successful, we expect this new type of models and workflow to
drive innovation in other contexts also (e.g., geothermal energy and tectonic
studies).
You will be expected to publish the results in papers in top journals. You
will work in the international Tectonophysics team, led by Govers, of PhD
students and a Model Support Technician. Up to 10% of your time will be
dedicated to assisting in the BSc and MSc teaching programmes of the
Department of Earth Sciences. A personalised training programme will be set up
and mutually agreed upon recruitment, which will reflect your training needs
and career objectives. |

ensure a high water quality, healthy and non-stressed fish, and a supreme
consumer quality of the fish. Therefore, in RASOPTA state-of-the-art training
in important disciplines within RAS technology will be provided by 10
universities and research institutes and 8 non-academic partners in 8
countries. Primary goals of the training are to improve microbial processes to
maintain a high water quality, to identify flavour compounds that may affect
consumer preference for fish from RAS, and to ensure an optimum health and
welfare of the fish. The research also aims at developing a DNA-based chip for
early warning of quality and health of the fish. To reach the
interdisciplinary goals in RASOPTA, the consortium will train 12 Early Stage
Researchers (ESRs) in disciplines ranging from chemistry, microbiology, and
molecular biology, to physiology and pathology of fish.
## About the PhD project – Biosecurity considerations in Atlantic salmon RAS
Together with four other Early Stage Researchers (to be recruited by
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, UAB; University of Copenhagen, UCPH;
Veterinary Medical Research Institute in Hungary, ATK; and the Technical
University of Denmark, DTU), the candidate will contribute to the
implementation of RASOPTA´s work package three which focuses on controlling
the abundance of pathogens in RAS. The candidate will identify major pathogen
entry points in salmon RAS by molecular screening of air, water and biological
material. NGS methods will be developed to identify transmission pathways and
evaluate the risk of introduced pathogens evolving from low to highly
pathogenic strains. By conducting longitudinal studies and screening archived
material at FFVA the candidate will evaluate existing approaches for
controlling pathogens and, ultimately, contribute knowledge to optimized
biosecurity protocols for salmon RAS production. 2 Together with results from
the other projects in work package three (UAB will use omics technologies as
well as stress and behavioural indicators to evaluate the influence of RAS
features on fish welfare, UCPH will use molecular tools to identify pathogenic
microorganisms and evaluate the risk of disease development in rainbow trout
and zebrafish RAS and ATK will characterize external pathogenic and commensal
parasites in RAS), findings from FFVA will contribute to a novel, rapid and
cost-effective state-of-the-art Fluidigm PCR chip (developed by DTU) for fast
profiling of vira, microbes, protozoa and welfare indicators in RAS.
Mobility within the RASOPTA European Training Network is of high importance
and the candidate is expected to spend one month at SMJ Consulting Engineers,
one month at Hiddenfjord, two weeks at UCPH and two weeks at DTU.
Enrolment is expected at the University of Copenhagen where the graduate
program requires the student to obtain 30 ECTS points during the three-year
period in order to graduate.

Postdoctoral researcher at the Quantum Biology Tech (QuBiT) Lab at UCLA;
AMO/spin/solid-state physics experience preferred |
**Overview**
We are a newly established group at UCLA led by Prof. Clarice D. Aiello. **Our
mission is to establish the extent to which quantum mechanics accounts for
biologically relevant phenomena, and can be manipulated to technological and
therapeutic advantage.**
Experiments suggest that nontrivial quantum mechanical effects involving spin
might underlie biologically relevant phenomena as varied as magnetic field
detection for animal navigation, metabolic regulation in cells and optimal
electron transport in chiral biomolecules. We investigate such phenomena using
high-tech tools borrowed from the fields of quantum sensing/computing, device
physics, and atomic and molecular (AMO) physics. Current and near-future
research directions include:
• Optimal quantum control of spins in biological systems via optically-
detected magnetic resonance performed under a single-molecule microscope, and
subsequent correlation with microscopic cellular processes;
• Detection and control of spin coherence and polarization in electrons
traversing nanoscale chiral potentials (from complex engineered materials to
DNA and proteins) using a scanning tunneling microscope with spin-resonance
capabilities.
At this time, **we seek postdoctoral candidates with training in AMO, spin or
solid-state physics (including** **but not restricted to: ultracold atoms,
trapped ions, superconducting qubits, NV centers)**. Nanofabrication skills
and experience in developing experimental control software are a plus.
Postdoctoral scholars are expected to conduct research in small teams, and
mentor trainees. In particular, accepted candidates will have an invaluable
opportunity to help shape our young lab. Formal teaching opportunities and
pursuing the nationally recognized CIRTL certification at UCLA are
possibilities. Clarice is invested in working with accepted candidates to
develop a plan towards their own career goals.
**Diversity and inclusion**
We encourage applications from members of underrepresented groups with respect
to gender, race and ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability
status, age, socioeconomic background, care-taking status, and other axes of
diversity.
**Compensation**
Pay is non-negotiable and at a NIH+7 level, well above-average for a
postdoctoral appointment in the United States (scholarships will be topped up
to this amount). Postdoctoral contracts are 1-year long, with the possibility
of extension upon mutual agreement.
All team members are encouraged and expected to apply for fellowships.
**Timeline**
While flexible, preferred start dates are between September 2021 and March
2022. The positions will remain open until filled.
**Application**
Applicants should send an email to Clarice (
**[cla@ucla.edu](mailto:cla@ucla.edu)** ): 1. briefly detailing their research
experience, interests and career plans; 2. with an up-to-date CV as
attachment.

PhD | Advanced microstructural characterization of fusion materials:
irradiation effects |
In this project, we invite a young talented researcher to join us for the
investigation of fusion materials for ITER and future fusion reactors. The
project is focused on the microstructural analysis of so-called "in-vessel"
materials which will be exposed to a heavy operational conditions including
high heat loads and fast particle irradiation damage. At Belgian Nuclear
Research Centre we mimic the irradiation conditions and investigate the
material response as well as subsequent change of properties. Following ITER
needs and European Fusion Roadmap [1] the investigation will focus on main in-
vessel materials such as tungsten (W), Eurofer97 steel and a copper alloys.
The scientific/technical objective of this project is to build up a
comprehensive set of microstructural data to be obtained by transmission
electron microscopy and specially designed tools allowing to perform in-situ
investigation under applied thermal or mechanical loads. Thereby obtained
microstructural information is of fundamental importance to rationalize the
change of material properties under irradiation as well as it serves as
backbone for the validation of the available computational models dealing with
predicting the microstructural state under fusion operational conditions. The
project is scheduled for 4 years, it will include a number of international
secondments to ITER partners and other fusion labs to perform experiments on
unique equipment outside of EU. Main part of the project will be performed at
SCK CEN in close collaboration with the host University.

Radiation tolerant CMOS Imagers |
CMOS image sensors are widespread these days. But the limited radiation
tolerance of image sensors remains a problem for the use of these sensors in
particle physics, nuclear energy or space applicationsThis Ph.D. project
targets to substantially improve the performance of pixels and image sensor
readout circuits operated in environments with a high dose rate and a high
total accumulated dose of ionizing radiation.Sources of performance
degradation due to radiation will be investigated, experimentally,
theoretically and through simulations. Techniques to mitigate effects of
radiation on the pixel and readout circuits by means of design or technology
changes will be proposed and demonstrated. This work involves pixel design and
layout, TCAD and circuit simulations of pixels, development of pixel test
structures and lab characterization of radiation tolerant pixels before,
during and after radiation. |

PIPGEN - INTERNATIONAL PhD FELLOWSHIPS |
The Innovative Training Network (ITN) “PIPgen - PI3K/PTEN-related monogenic
disease to understand cancer" is recruiting 15 highly motivated PhD candidates
through an international transparent and open recruitment procedure. The
fellowships are funded by the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme
under the ITN-Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement Nº 955534
More info at:
**About the PIPgen network**
The PIPgen network brings together 9 leading European basic and clinical
institutions and 3 private companies experts in the PI3K/PTEN- related
diseases, to train 15 researchers in a wide range of scientific and
complementary competences. Selected candidates will carry out specific
projects under the supervision of a Principal Investigator within one of the
11 world-leading European host institutions from the network. They will also
perform secondments in other institutions within the network to provide the
needed interactions to achieve research and training excellence, and to
improve their future career perspectives.
Fellows will be enrolled in a PhD programme and will receive an outstanding
and tailored training designed specifically for them. The embedding within the
PIPgen network, with experienced trainers from academia and industry and from
two research environments (clinical and basic), offers a unique
multidisciplinary and multisectoral training opportunity in the field of
PI3K/PTEN-related diseases.
**Scientific project**
PIPgen stems from the emerging links between monogenic rare diseases and
cancer, and how these fields can cross-fertilise and inform an integrated
approach to both their understanding and treatment. Monogenic diseases offer
‘clean’ molecular, cellular and organismal information about the affected
genes, whereas cancer is a compendium of genetic and epigenetic perturbations
illustrative of complex diseases. Genetic alterations in the phosphoinositide
3-kinase (PI3K)/PTEN pathway are a common event in both monogenic rare
diseases and in cancer, presenting a truly unique paradigm of which PIPgen
will take advantage. PIPgen aims to critically contribute by providing a
dynamic learning strategy to enhance our understanding of the PI3K/PTEN
pathway based on the molecular, biological and clinical integration of both
pathological scenarios. PIPgen has been conceived with the view to make a real
clinical and therapeutic impact without losing focus on the underpinning basic
bioscience.

* **PhD Project 3:** Improving recognition of patients with PHTS phenotypes by easy-to-apply sets of clinical criteria.
PTEN Hamartoma Tumour Syndrome (PHTS) is a rare genetic predisposition that
results in a broad spectrum of diseases. Most of these disesase are on their
own common in the general population which hampers recognition of these rare
PHTS patients. In addtion, each disease expression of PHTS is diagnosed by
different health care disciplines and at different ages, such as skin lesions
(dermatologist), vascular malformation (radiologist), developmental delay
(neurology), an enlarged thyroid (endocrinologist) or breast cancer
(oncologist/surgeon). We will determine easy-to-apply sets of clinical
criteria that can be assessed by each healthcare provider who diagnoses a
common feature of PHTS. In a large cohort of PHTS patients and PTEN-negative
control patients extended clinical characteristics will be collected and
assessed. The best performing clinical criteria will be assessed for futher
implementation.

epidemiological data, the successful candidate will develop and analyze animal
models to study the role of RNA decay in cancer. Molecular and cellular
analyses will be performed using cutting-edge technologies including
transcriptome analyses, cell and tissue phenotyping, proteomic, and imaging…
and build on medical data collected in parallel by partner teams. This project
will determine whether alterations in some RNA decay factors have an impact on
the prognosis of patients, which could justify specific treatment. Moreover, a
better understanding of the role of such alterations could thus have
repercussions in other types of cancer.
Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced candidate with strong
expertise in use of animal model for the study of cancer. Additional
experience in transcriptomics and genome-wide data analyses would be a plus.
Ability to work independently within a team environment, computer literacy and

PERSEUS - PhD Candidate in the area of Industry 4.0 Digital Twin for Offshore
Wind Farms |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a
better world.
You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the position
At the Department of ICT and Natural Sciences, we have a vacancy for a Ph.D.
candidate in the area of industry 4.0 digital twin for offshore wind farms.
The term digital twin refers to a digital representation of a physical asset
sufficient to meet the requirements of targeted use cases. Digital twins can
be used during the conceptualization, design, and engineering phases of a new
asset and during the operation and maintenance phases of an asset (e.g. for
energy production optimization, predictive maintenance, simulation, quality
management). Security, system integration, interoperability, and connectivity
are fundamental aspects for assets aiming to leverage the concept of digital
twin. This presupposes the standardization of interfaces and data formats,
information-modelling, communication, and established open standardized
architectures in the industry. Various associations supported by numerous
industrial enterprises are collaborating towards the establishment and
maturation of standards for digitalization in the industry.
A main challenge in asset-heavy industrial companies is not the lack of
digital representations of facilities and equipment; there are huge amounts of
data around. The challenge is that the asset data (i.e. various pieces of the
digital twin) is partly locked into several different data
systems/applications where the data is defined purely for the application
purpose using their own language, information models, interfaces, and access
regimes - with limited standardization. Among the different standardization
and interoperability initiatives, Asset Administration Shell (AAS), a key
concept of Plattform Industrie 4.0 and adopted by the Industrial Digital Twin
Association (IDTA), proposes a standardized electronic representation of
industrial assets enabling digital twins and interoperability between
automated industrial systems and Cyber Physical System (CPS).
The idea of this project is to leverage the use of AAS for digital twin
development of offshore wind farms. The PhD student will investigate current
applications of AAS in other industries that could be relevant for wind farms,
possibility to transfer AAS learning and solutions from other industries. In
general, this task should look at the opportunities of using the AAS framework
in the offshore wind industry and highlight possible challenges for
implementation, which include architecture design, data requirements,
predictive analytics, information modeling, and simulation and visualization
solutions for asset management and predictive maintenance. Furthermore, the
PhD student will be expected to implement prototypes of simulation and
visualization solutions based on Digital twin (AAS-based).
This PhD project is a part of the [PERSEUS doctoral
programme](https://www.ntnu.edu/perseus): A collaboration between NTNU-
Norway’s largest university, 11 top-level academic partners in 8 European
countries, and 8 industrial partners within sectors of high societal

FELLOWSHIPS AT THE KÄTE HAMBURGER CENTRE FOR APOCALYPTIC AND POST-APOCALYPTIC
STUDIES (CAPAS) 2022-23 |
The Käte Hamburger Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies (CAPAS)
is a Centre for Advanced Studies at Heidelberg University. It gathers
international scholars and scientists to research collaboratively on ideas and
experiences of the doom of worlds and their aftermath. Our mission is to
encourage the dialogue between the humanities and social and natural sciences,
relating to (A) the apocalyptic and postapocalyptic imaginary (ideas, images,
discourses), (B) historical events that were perceived or framed as
(post-)apocalyptic experiences, and (C) current, empirically observable
developments that could bring about the end of the world as we know it, and
its aftermath scenarios. CAPAS is dedicated to innovative research relevant to
society at large, particularly in areas beyond traditional academic
boundaries. For further information on CAPAS, please refer to our website
[www.capas.uni-heidelberg.de](https://www.capas.uni-
heidelberg.de/index.en.html).
The focus of the 2022-2023 academic year is on the imaginaries and concepts of
the (post-)apocalypse, with special regard to Europe and the Americas. The aim
is to explore the imaginary of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic worlds in a
transcultural and transdisciplinary perspective. Proposals regarding the
theoretical or methodological frame of CAPAS and on inter- and
transdisciplinary approaches are also welcome. We invite applications for up
to 10 Fellowships from September/October 2022 for the 2022-2023 academic year
(beginning date is negotiable). Fellowships are available for a duration of up
to 12 months, including at least one academic term (October to February or

Post-doctoral position in RNA Molecular Biology, Séraphin Lab at the IGBMC
(Strasbourg, France) |
Overview: The Séraphin team working on protein complexes involved in RNA decay
is hiring a post-doc (24 months with possibility of extension) to work on the
Control of deadenylation and translation by the CCR4-NOT complex
Project
The importance of mRNA decay in regulating and finely tuning gene expression
is now well established. The CCR4-NOT complex is a multi-subunit assembly,
present in all eukaryotes, that plays a primordial role in this control.
Indeed, this complex works as the major deadenylase that initiates mRNA decay
by shortening their poly(A) tails. Further, the CCR4-NOT complex has been
shown to link translation efficiency to mRNA decay.
We have recently identified new protein partners of the human CCR4-NOT
complex. Interestingly, inactivation of one of the corresponding genes in mice
leads to a severe phenotype. Based on our initial observations, the successful
candidate will elucidate the functions of the CCR4-NOT complex in relation to
its interaction with this new partner. The molecular function of this factor
will be investigated using cutting-edge technologies including transcriptome
and poly(A)-tail-seq analyses, CRISPR-Cas9 inactivation in cell lines,
proteomic and imaging and benefit from parallel study of its impact on mouse
development at the institute.
Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced candidate with strong
expertise in molecular biology. Additional experience in transcriptomics and
genome-wide data analyses would be a plus. Ability to work independently
within a team environment, computer literacy and good communication skills are
required. Applications are invited for 2 years with possibilities of
extensions, starting at the earliest in December, 2021.
About us
The applicant will benefit from a highly collaborative and international
environment at IGBMC (>700 researchers, 4 departments, 44 teams). The Séraphin
team is a leader in the field of eukaryotic RNA decay, RNA processing and
protein complex analyses using mammalian cells and yeast as model systems.
IGBMC provides access to state-of-the-art platforms and technical support
including imaging, proteomic, high throughput sequencing, cell culture,
bioinformatics, and mouse facilities. The project will benefit from technical
support and develop in the framework of national and international
collaborations. IGBMC is located in the periphery of Strasbourg providing a
scientifically and culturally rich and unique environment.
Your application
Please send your application including a statement describing research
experience and expertise as well as future research interests, a curriculum
vitae with publication list, date of availability, and at least two contacts
for references (including phone number and email).

Large scale plunging jets: impact, energy dissipation and air entrainment |
PhD project: Large scale plunging jets: impact, energy dissipation and air
entrainment
Duration: 3 years, starting October 2021.
Location: LEGI ( and CERG
() at Grenoble, France.
Candidate profile: engineering or physics background with strong formation in
fluid mechanics. Interest in experimentation measuring techniques and
modelling. Experience using Matlab and/or Python is recommended.
Context and how to apply: this PhD scholarship is part of the JetPlume ANR
project, that involves LEGI (Grenoble, France), LMFA (Lyon, ), CORIA (Rouen, ) and Electricité de France
(EDF). Periodic meetings and discussions will be held periodically between all
partners.
Interested candidates should send their CV and cover letter to Martin Obligado
([Martin.Obligado@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr](mailto:Martin.Obligado@univ-
grenoble-alpes.fr)) and Gregory Guyot
([gregory.guyot@edf.fr](mailto:gregory.guyot@edf.fr)).
Topic: Large-scale plunging jets encountered in hydroelectric infrastructures
directly influence turbine operation and performance through their ability to
generate huge bubble clouds and thereby draw air into the pipelines under
load.Nevertheless, despite the relevance of applications, something as
fundamental as predicting the flow rate of air entrained in a pool by a
plunging jet is still an open question.
This PhD project consists on an experimental study that involves LEGI lab, the
Studies and Research Centre from Grenoble (CERG) and Electricité de France
(EDF), and aims at providing a better understanding of these flows within
hydroelectric installations.
I this context, a key parameter for the modelling and scale-up of these flows
is the ability of a jet to entrain air under the free surface that it impacts
and the characterization of its sub-surface dynamics. Other important
parameters are the size distribution of the bubbles generated, the entrained
air flow rate and the spatial distribution of local quantities of interest
(such as concentrations, phase velocities, flux, etc.).
Objectives and experimental work: the main objective is therefore to
understand which parameters govern the amount of air entrained in the pool and
the aeration of the free-falling jet. The PhD candidate will perform
experiments in the LEGI facility to characterise the two-phase jet below the
free surface in terms of velocity, concentration and flux profiles using
optical probes. The goal is to vary the jet parameters, such as its velocity
and the initial turbulent intensity, and to analyse the results comparing them
to the few measurements and/or modelling proposals available in the
literature.
To accurately describe the phenomenon and propose a reliable model to predict
the dynamics of plunging jets, the PhD candidate will use a very large-scale
experiment, the ‘JetHigh’ experimental platform. This facility, located at the
CERG test center nearby Grenoble, will be used to analyze plunging jets with
injected velocities from 2 to 35 m/s with an injection diameter between 26 mm
to 213 mm, along a 10-meter free fall height impacting a 23 m meter depth
plunge pool. We will use this very large-scale facility to follow the jet all
along its fall.
For both facilities, several measurement techniques have been deployed
including:
• Pressure sensors to evaluate the average speed and the level of turbulence
of the jet,
• A set of high-speed cameras to analyze the position and the topology of the
jet at impact as well as the speed of corrugation of its surface,
• A high frequency momentum sensor to determine the unsteady impact force of
the jet,
• Underwater cameras to visualize the cloud of bubbles and measure the depth
of penetration,
• Optical probes to measure the size, the speed of the bubbles formed, their
concentration as well as the entrained air flow. This sensor also provides
access to the penetration depth of the bubble cloud. It can also be used in
the jet to characterize internal gas structures (void ratio, size, velocity)
or surface structures.
The PhD candidate will therefore perform experiments using all available
experimental techniques at both LEGI and CERG facilities. He/she will be in
charge of the data analysis and the comparison with data previously acquired.
He/she will also be part of the development of a first-order model that can be
used by engineers to evaluate the power of the jet at impact, the entrained
airflow, the average size of the bubbles formed and the penetration depth of
the bubble cloud.

The position is offered within the research project funded by the National
Science Centre (Poland).
Title: A novel multiphysics multiscale model of field-assisted sintering
technology.
Principal Investigator: prof. Jerzy Rojek, e-mail:
[jrojek@ippt.pan.pl](mailto:jrojek@ippt.pan.pl), webpage:
Project duration: 34 months with possible extension to 48 months
Institution: Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy
of Sciences
Project objectives:
The project aims to develop a novel numerical model of the powder metallurgy
process called FAST (Field Assisted (or Activated) Sintering Technology) or
SPS (Spark Plasma Sintering). In the FAST technique, a loose or loosely bonded
powder is consolidated (sintered) under applied pressure at an elevated
temperature (below the melting point) induced by an electric current. This is
a key technology for manufacturing new materials. The FAST is a complex
process associated with a complex interaction of electrical, thermal and
mechanical phenomena. The new multiphysics model will be developed within a
multiscale modelling framework. The discrete element method (DEM) will be used
for modelling at the microscopic level, whereas the finite element method
(FEM) will be employed for macroscopic modelling.

PhD Studentship - Regulatory Genomics and Diabetes |
**The Institute**
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical
research institute of excellence, based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than
400 scientists from 44 countries. The CRG is composed by an interdisciplinary,
motivated and creative scientific team which is supported both by a flexible
and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.
In April 2021, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) received the renewal of
the ['HR Excellence in Research](https://www.crg.eu/en/content/careers/hr-
excellence-research)' Award from the European Commission. This is a
recognition of the Institute's commitment to developing an HR Strategy for
Researchers, designed to bring the practices and procedures in line with the
principles of the [European Charter for
Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/european-charter) and
the [Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of
Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/code) (Charter and
Code).
[Please, check out our Recruitment
Policy](https://www.crg.eu/sites/default/files/crg/p-hr-004-crg_recruitment_policy_v1.1.pdf)
**The role**
We invite applications for a PhD student position to develop a project focused
on understanding transcriptional regulatory mutations that cause human
diabetes.
The successful applicant will be funded during the initial two years by
ENHPATHY, a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN). ENHPATHY
includes 12 academic and 3 non-academic European organisations that offer
training projects in transcriptional regulation, enhancers, and human disease.
ENHPATHY and the host institution CRG offer a rich complementary training
program that supports acquiring a variety of hard and soft skills, as well as
opportunities for secondments in other labs in the training network. The
applicant will form part of the retreats, training workshops, summer courses,
and conferences organized by ENHPATHY. Given that the two-year post is not
expected to fund the entire duration of the PhD project, the host lab will
fund the salary for at least one additional year.
The PhD project will attempt to understand why mutations in some
transcriptional enhancers cause human disease. It will focus on human
mutations pancreatic beta cell enhancers that cause diabetes. The candidate
can choose one of two possible projects. One will use genome editing tools to
introduce mutations in stem-cells, which are then differentiated to beta
cells. It will also model enhancer activity and mutations in episomal
contexts. The project and training programme will provide opportunities for
learning to analyze large scale sequencing datasets from these experiments.
Another option for applicants who already have a background in programming and
statistics, is to apply for a PhD project that is fully or largely based on
computational genomic analysis of high-throughput datasets, including single
cell genomics, but also focused on understanding enhancer mutations in
disease.
**About the lab**
The Regulatory Genomics and Diabetes lab studies the basis of gene regulation
in pancreatic beta cells, and deploys this knowledge to discover genetic
causes and treatments for human diabetes. It is a multidisciplinary team that
currently includes 4 computational scientists with varied interests (human
genetics, genetics of gene regulation, regulatory genomics, network biology)
and 6 experimental scientists.
Relevant published work from the team can be found in
. The lab
has led studies that used regulatory maps in pancreatic islets to show how
genetic regulatory DNA variants influence type 2 diabetes, built maps of the
developing pancreas that helped uncover disease mutations and mechanisms of
development, and characterized noncoding RNAs and their possible role in
diabetes.
The team is funded by, and forms part of, international consortia such as

PhD | DoseMask: in vivo dosimetry system for patient safety during
radiotherapy |
Technological breakthroughs in radiation oncology have enabled dose escalation
efforts in the tumor while sparing nearby organs at risk and adaptive
strategies taking into account variations of anatomy during the course of
treatment. These technological advances have also created new challenges in
terms of dosimetric quality assurance (QA) of the treatments. The technology
to verify dose delivery by direct dose measurement for every beam, every
fraction, and every patient is not practical, as it demands staff time and
automation not easily available in a busy radiotherapy department. Hence,
there are numerous solutions to verify the pre-treatment delivery in a phantom
set-up [1, 2]. However, pre-treatment QA is the least sensitive tool out of
all control checks to detect errors in radiation oncology [3, 4], as it
misses, for instance, errors in patient positioning, necessary adaptations
between fractions and machine malfunctioning. These aspects highlight the need
for patient-specific QA and requires _in vivo_ dosimetry (IVD) tools.
With such an increasing need, the improvement of the existing systems and the
development of new ones is required to guarantee QA and patient safety for
ionizing radiation application. Several new dosimetric systems used for
patient QA are based on either assessing the transmission doses, using systems
attached to the head of the accelerator and measuring the output of the LINAC
[5, 6] or the transit doses measuring the dose exiting the patients [7, 8].
These approaches have several advantages and have been receiving a lot of
attention from the scientific and clinical community.
Transmission detectors are automated and independent systems, capable of
measuring 2D and 3D doses in real time, however, they have some shortcomings,
such as beam hardening scatter and electron contamination, which hinders the
accuracy of the system [9]. Additionally, in the treatment planning doses must
be calculated, considering also the attenuation of the beam by the detector,
which means an extra task for the medical physicists. Nevertheless
transmission detectors require additional online measurements, such as from
electronic portal imagining devices (EPIDs), to account for the position of
the patients [10]. Transit detectors (EPID system) are widely used for
patients positioning and recently for IVD. 2D dose map reconstruction is
possible and used for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), but the
procedure is complex and not widely available for all treatment modalities,
such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), stereotactic radiosurgery
(SRS) and particle therapy. For both 2D and 3D dose maps, the procedure
demands extra time from medical physicists to check and validate the results.
Moreover, EPIDs are not independent systems, which limits their freedom of
operation.
Within this project, the goal is to develop a post-treatment IVD system based
on radiophotoluminescence (RPL) masks. The idea is to take advantage of an
element routinely present in the radiotherapy workflow: the immobilization
masks (used for e.g. brain, head and neck treatments) and to coat them with a
radiation-sensitive layer. This system will be based to measure surface dose
maps from dosimetric masks worn by patients, using an independent and passive
scanning system, with high spatial resolution and dose accuracy, without
introducing any extra hardware inside the treatment room and minimally
affecting the treatment workflow. This is an important feature, when
considering the busy schedules of clinical radiotherapy centres, where every
system that requires adaptations of the treatment room or extra time for
measurements and validation will not be always welcome. Medical physicists and
nurses hope for ready-to-use and handy dosimetric solutions, with high
accuracy, spatial resolution and precision.
Radiphotoluminensce has recently gained attention, because the readout
procedure is non-destructive and some of the RPL materials are light
insensitive [11, 12]. Consequently, there is no need of light-tight packing or
to handle the material in a dark environment, as for other luminescence
materials. A well-known RPL dosimeter, the fluorescent nuclear track detector
(FNTD) is based on aluminum oxide doped with carbon and magnesium
(Al2O3:C,Mg), and has gained attention for applications in neutron, heavy
charged particle (HCP) and high energy photon dosimetry [13, 14].
The proof-of-concept of this idea has already successfully been demonstrated
in a 2D reader and by characterizing 2D planar RPL sheets in various
clinically relevant beams (proton, X-ray) [15, 16]. The development of a 3D
scanning system based on reading RPL masks is the goal of this project, as
follows:
1. Model the RPL micro crystals-coated 3D immobilization masks to check the dosimetric characteristics, such as energy response comparable to human tissue, by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The modeling results will be used to possibly optimize the coatings (i.e. varying the concentration of binder/RPL material and Al2O3:C,Mg crystal size).
2. Test different coatings (from item 1) for energy response and beam perturbation in the laboratory for nuclear calibrations (LNK).
3. Develop a 3D robotic arm readout system, capable of scanning the RPL signal from coated immobilization masks
4. Develop a protocol to calibrate the masks, such that the luminescence RPL signal can be correctly translated to a 3D absorbed dose map on the surface of the masks.
5. Develop a dosimetric protocol to compare planned doses in the TPS with the measured dose maps (from item 4).
6. Characterize and validate the system in calibrated sources and in clinical beams
The work involved in this PhD project is very versatile, consisting of Monte
Carlo simulations, engineering and experimental measurements, working with
calibrated sources at the Laboratory for Nuclear Calibrations (LNK) of the
Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK CEN), with clinical beams from the
University Hospital at KU Leuven and with the Technology & Innovation
department from AGFA NV (responsible for the mask’ coatings).

Postdoc - Computational Regulatory Genomics and Diabetes |
The Institute
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) is an international biomedical
research institute of excellence, based in Barcelona, Spain, with more than
400 scientists from 44 countries. The CRG is composed by an interdisciplinary,
motivated and creative scientific team which is supported both by a flexible
and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.
In April 2021, the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) received the renewal of
the ['HR Excellence in Research](https://www.crg.eu/en/content/careers/hr-
excellence-research)' Award from the European Commission. This is a
recognition of the Institute's commitment to developing an HR Strategy for
Researchers, designed to bring the practices and procedures in line with the
principles of the [European Charter for
Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/european-charter) and
the [Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of
Researchers](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/code) (Charter and
Code).
[Please, check out our Recruitment
Policy](https://www.crg.eu/sites/default/files/crg/p-hr-004-crg_recruitment_policy_v1.1.pdf)
The role
We invite applications for a postdoctoral scientist to join a
multidisciplinary team working at the interface of genetics, regulatory
genomics, cellular differentiation, and human diabetes. The successful
candidate will develop statistical and computational methods to tackle
questions in two possible main areas. One area is to use single cell genomics
to understand how the genome is programmed to create functional pancreatic
beta cells, and how altered regulation causes diabetes. The other area is to
analyze noncoding genomic sequences from patients to discover new forms of
human diabetes. Applicants can apply to either area, but should have a PhD (or
equivalent experience) in bioinformatics, computer science, or statistics, and
have experience in genome data analysis.
About the team
The overarching goal of the Regulatory Genomics and Diabetes lab is to
understand the basis of gene regulation in pancreatic beta cells, and to
deploy this knowledge to discover genetic causes and treatments for human
diabetes. The lab combines computational analysis of in-house genomic datasets
(e.g. RNA-seq, ChIP, HiChIP, pcHiC, sc genomics,CRISPR screens, genome variant
sequencing) as well as external datasets, along with human stem cell-based and
animal model systems. It is a multidisciplinary team that currently includes
four computational scientists with varied interests (human genetics, genetics
of gene regulation, regulatory genomics) and 6 experimental scientists, most
of whom carry their own genome data analysis.
Successful candidates who choose to work on a single cell project will form
part of ESPACE, an EU-funded Human Cell Atlas project to define single cell
genomic profiles of pancreatic cells, and will work closely with other
computational biologists in the consortium, in addition to leading a
regulatory genomics project within the lab.
Successful candidates who work on a genome variation project will form part of
a team of geneticists within the lab, funded by an ERC advanced grant. The
candidate will lead a specific project within this area, and work
collaboratively with other team members.
Relevant published work from the team can be found in
. The lab
has led studies that used regulatory maps in pancreatic islets to show how
genetic regulatory DNA variants influence type 2 diabetes (Gaulton et al,
Nature Genetics 2010, Pasquali et al, Nature Genetics 2014, Miguel Escalada et
al, Nature Genetics 2019), built maps of the developing pancreas that helped
uncover disease mutations and mechanisms of development (Cebola Nat Cell Biol
2015, Weedon et al Nature Genetics 2014), and characterized noncoding RNAs and
their possible role in diabetes (Moran et al, Cell Metab 2012, Akerman et al
Cell Metab 2017, Beucher et al, Biorxiv, 2021).
The team is funded by, and forms part of, international consortia such as
ESPACE, an EU-funded Human Cell Atlas project to define single cell genomic
profiles of pancreatic cells, or ENPATHY, a training network focused on
studying the role of transcriptional enhancers in human disease. It is funded
by an Advanced ERC grant and the Spanish Ministry of Science. It is part of
other large international consortia such as TOPMED or TIGER. |

PhD position on Hybrid Data-Assimilation and Machine Learning |
This position aims to explore combinations of Data-Assimilation (DA) and
Machine Learning (ML) to derive theoretical results as well as develop
practical tools to learn efficiently from combinations of numerical models and
measurements.
Both Data-Assimilation (DA) and Machine Learning (ML) are often applied to
incorporate measurements of the unknown of interest in order to make improved
predictions. Even though there are obvious similarities the two fields have
largely developed separately. For example, in geo-sciences ML is applied
regularly to infer desired quantities from satellite remote sensing imagery,
or to perform a statistical post-processing of biased forecasts. Data
assimilation, on the other hand, aims to estimate the state, which is
considered to be observed only indirectly. The updated estimate of the state
is then inserted into the numerical model to improve the subsequent forecast.
This updated forecast is used as the basis of the next estimation cycle, when
new observations arrive. With different histories, communities and
applications, there are many potential analogies with different methods and
concepts between the fields, offering a potentially rich source of new ideas,
concepts and method |

PhD position on 'transformation of investments in energy access to structural
development in low income countries' |
_**How can we transform the recent investments in energy access to structural
economic development in low income countries? We seek to appoint a PhD student
at the Development Economics Group at Wageningen University to work on a
project at the nexus of energy access, agriculture, and economic development
in Sierra Leone using experimental research methods.**_
The UN Sustainable Development Goals includes access to affordable, reliable,
sustainable, and modern energy for all. Recent experimental research has
called into question that expanding energy access alone leads to structural
economic growth and that complementarities are needed, for example in terms of
market access and productivity enhancing technologies. This project seeks to
understand how and why, by focussing on recent investments in energy access in
Sierra Leone.
In this PhD position you will; contribute to a conceptual framework that lays
out the pathways from energy access to structural economic development;
contribute to designing new interventions that seek to improve development
through increased energy access; contribute to testing and evaluating the
relationship between energy access and development using experimental methods.
Also you will play an important role in managing the project field activities.
This position is part of the VIDI project "Electrifying Growth" of Dr. Maarten
Voors and implemented in close collaboration with the International Growth
Centre, Yale University as well as local policy and technical partners in
Sierra Leone. The positon is based at Wageningen University, with field work
in Sierra Leone.
The research is embedded within the chair group [Development
Economics](https://www.wur.nl/en/Research-Results/Chair-groups/Social-

PhD Position Traffic Modelling and Impact Assessment for Sustainable
Integrated Traffic Management |
With climate change very high on the agenda of national governments worldwide,
transportation has lagged behind in its efforts to reduce its carbon
footprint. For this reason, the European Commission has granted a number of
projects within the ‘Green Deal’ proposition to tackle transportation’s impact
on carbon emissions. TULIPS, a project granted under this scheme, has the
focus to target a reduction in environmental impacts related to travel to,
from and in the hub of Schiphol airport. One part of this project is focused
on improving the traffic efficiency of travel to and from the airport in the
wider region, in part through traffic management to improve road traffic
operations to reduce congestion, reduce waiting times and in turn reduce the
emissions from vehicles.
In recent decades, traffic management has seen a transition from traditional
road-side and universal forms of traffic control, to an increasing focus on
personalised and in-car systems under the umbrella of Cooperative Intelligent
Transportation Systems (C-ITS). At the same time, traditional methods of
traffic management remain an integral part of the traffic management
instrumentarium. Construction of an integrated approach using traditional and
C-ITS-related traffic management to improve traffic operation efficiency and
reduce emissions is a key challenge that will be addressed in TULIPS and also
in this PhD project. The proposed approach will be applied in practice in an
initial test environment and potentially rolled out permanently in the broader
Schiphol and North Holland region.
As well as consideration of traffic management measures that can be applied, a
main focus of the PhD project will be on developing an integrated approach
that allows both emissions and traffic efficiency to simulated and their
impacts to be assessed. This will require the PhD student to develop traffic
theory and propose new or adapted traffic simulation approaches and be able to
integrate these into our existing simulation environments.
As part of the project, the selected candidate will be expected to work
closely with project consortium partners and with local and national road
authorities to obtain the best possible outcome for the project. This will
also require the execution of occasional administrative tasks within the
TULIPS project. The project is due to commence in January 2022. |

Postdoc Traffic Impact Assessment for Highly Automated Vehicles and Traffic
Management |
This is a unique opportunity for a 3.5 year postdoctoral position working on
two different high impact projects.
Hi-DRIVE is a European funded project that considers the impacts of Highly
Automated Vehicles in a mass cross-border field operational test with many of
Europe’s leading car manufacturers and automated vehicle researchers. This
project will encompass about 70% of your time and will attract the core of
your research efforts to propose and develop impact assessment methods
(including data and simulation based) and to execute the traffic performance
and safety impact assessment in consultation with other project partners and
disseminate this highly relevant and state-of-the-art results to the
scientific community.
TULIPS is also a European funded project focused on reducing the environmental
impacts related to travel to, from and in the hub of Schiphol airport. One
part of this project is focused on improving the traffic efficiency of travel
to and from the airport in the wider region, in part through traffic
management (traditional and C-ITS) to improve road traffic operations to
reduce congestion, reduce waiting times and in turn reduce the emissions from
vehicles. This project will encompass about 30% of your time in which you will
play a supporting role to two PhD students and a coordinating role in regard
to the execution of the project.
Both projects are leading projects in European research and the mix of state-
of-the-art research with coordinating and supervision tasks should make it a
highly attractive position for any upcoming academic or researcher looking to
further their career with a high impact position. During the term of your
contract you will have the opportunity to explore and get involved in other
academic tasks, such as education, student supervision, proposal writing, etc,
in line with your career ambitions and abilities.
The expected starting date is January 2022 (but can be flexible). |

PhD student in in Quaternary windblown loess of Sweden and Finland |
The [Department of Earth Sciences](http://www.geo.uu.se) of Uppsala University
is one of the most complete such academic departments in Europe. Our research
focuses on subjects that range from the Earth’s core to the atmosphere, on
scales from submicroscopic structures in minerals to the formation of
mountains and oceans. We have teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels.
Our courses offer a wide range within the geoscience area and several of the
department"s programs have received the highest rating in evaluations by the
Swedish National Agency for Higher Education (Högskoleverket) and the Swedish
Higher Education Authority (Universitetskanslersämbetet).
The [Programme for Air, Water, and Landscape
Science](http://www.geo.uu.se/luval) encompasses education and research in
meteorology, hydrology, environmental analysis, and physical geography.
**Duties/Project description: :** Loess comprises extensive deposits of
windblown mineral dust of dominant silt size. These sequences form some of the
most detailed past climate and atmospheric dust records available and are
found over large areas of the continents. Loess type deposits also exist in
Sweden and Finland yet research into these sediments has been sparse, and much
remains unknown about their genesis, timing of formation, and link to climate
and landscape change. These deposits also have great potential for productive
agricultural soils, but are simultaneously vulnerable to soil erosion. This
PhD position aims to address this gap as part of an SGU funded project into
the distribution, age and formation of loess in Sweden. The successful
candidate will primarily be responsible for fieldwork and mapping of loess
deposits in Sweden and Finland, detailed age dating of deposits using
luminescence and radiocarbon techniques, sediment characterization using
multi-proxy methods, as well as analysis of provenance indicators. The PhD
position will be conducted jointly with the University of Helsinki, Finland,
where a stay of c. 1 year is likely, and additionally will likely involve
stays at one or more further partner institutions. The project is supervised
by Dr Thomas Stevens at the Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala University,
and Dr Anu Kaakinen, at the department of geosciences and geography,
University of Helsinki. It will collaborate closely with PhD students and
staff in both research groups at Uppsala and Helsinki.
**Requirements:** We are looking for a motivated candidate who has a broad
interest in Earth Sciences and especially the Quaternary of the Nordic
countries. The successful candidate should have a Master’s or corresponding
degree in Earth Sciences equivalent to 120 ECTS points, which should be
obtained no later than one month before the start date. The applicant must be
proficient in spoken and written English.
**Additional qualifications:** Evidence of good scientific writing skills is a
merit, and the ranking of the candidates will also accord weight to evidence
of analytical thinking, the ability to collaborate, as well as creativity,
initiative, and independence. A background in loess studies, luminescence
dating, or GIS is not necessary but is considered a plus, and ability to work
with R or MATLAB is advantageous.
**The application should contain:**
* A Curriculum Vitae.
* A verified list of course grades.
* A cover letter stating your scientific interests and what motivates you to apply for this position.
* Your degree project/thesis (finished or in draft form).
* Contact details (incl. email and telephone number) of two references.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA COFUND) Early Stage Researcher (PhD Candidate):
Applied Physics |
We are now inviting applications for one Early Stage Researcher (Doctoral
Student) four-year position in the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Cofund DP
project **Neuro-Innovation: Research and innovation for brain health
throughout life**. The position in the Department of Applied Physics of the
University of Eastern Finland will start in early 2022.
Neuro-Innovation training is a novel effort at University of Eastern Finland
to integrate the university’s world class neuroscience with top-level
innovation management, social sciences, law, data sciences and applied
physics. This integration will produce unique inter/multidisciplinary
competence that contributes to brain health innovation in Europe and beyond by
training future leaders in this area of research and practice. Neuro-
Innovation training will address the translation of research results into
clinical adaptation and commercial outcomes in three multidisciplinary
research areas:
1\. The societal impact of prediction and early diagnosis research area
2\. The co-innovation for prevention and treatment research area
3\. The transfer of technologies, methods and models research area
We invite the applications to these above mentioned research areas. Within
these research areas, the following topic is offered for PhD:
**Image reconstruction in high temporal resolution functional MRI of the
brain**
In this project, we explore the development of fMRI for the imaging response
of the brain to random trigger signals. In such an experiment, only a very few
random repetitions of the trigger may be available, leading to a very sparse
and random sampling of the measurement data. Thus, advanced inverse problem
methods and imaging approaches are required for solving 4D images. The
objective of the PhD project is to develop a novel combination of advanced
(compressed sensing based) image reconstruction methods and optimal data
collection techniques, such as radial zero-echo time fMRI, that can produce
high temporal resolution with random repeated stimulus. The project can result
in a major advance in functional imaging of the brain, paving the way for
breakthroughs in basic research of the brain. The approaches developed are
expected to also have high commercialisation value, and constant evaluation
and training for this aspect is an integral part of the project. The
candidates can also suggest their own topic or modify this topic in their
motivation letter.
The research topic is in the interface of imaging, mathematics, physics,
computer science and neuroscience. The PhD project will be co-supervised by a
team of three scientists with expertise in neuroscience, neuroimaging, MRI,
medical image computing, inverse problems and business studies
(commercialization).The selected ESR will work in the Computational Physics
and Inverse Problems research group that focuses on the fields of inverse
problems and mathematical modelling. The group belongs to the Academy of
Finland's Centre of Excellence (CoE) on Inverse Modelling and Imaging. The
research portfolio covers various tomographic imaging approaches as well as
general topics related to Bayesian and computational inverse problems. In
addition, mathematical modelling of different physical systems and modelling
of uncertainties is studied. The group consists of several research teams with
application fields in biomedical and industrial inverse problems as well as
inverse problems in geophysical and atmospheric sciences. The team of Prof.
Kolehmainen is focused on development of mathematical models and computational
inverse problems methods for image reconstruction in medical imaging
techniques such as X-ray tomography, PET and MRI. |

We invite the applications to these above mentioned research areas. Within
these research areas, the following topic is offered for PhD:
**Neuro-Ethics and Law – Socio-Legal Perspective to Legal Rights and Access to
Justice of People with Neurodegenerative Diseases**
The goal in this research topic at the UEF Law School is to study patient
rights in brain diseases, with specific focus on neuro- and bio-ethics and
patient-oriented research practices. The philosophy of ‘nothing about us
without us’ acknowledges the fact that many persons with neurodegenerative
brain diseases are fully capable of representing themselves or speaking up for
those who are no longer able to do so. In this context, the legal and ethical
issues concerning research ethics, human rights issues, patient guidance and
counselling practices, privacy and data protection as well as data sharing
policies can be key aspects of the research. Methodologically, mixed methods
and materials allow us to obtain a comprehensive picture of the legal rights
and access to justice for this vulnerable group. The study of this topic
benefits from empirical knowledge that is combined with legal approaches. The
candidates can also suggest their own topic or modify this topic in their
motivation letter.
The selected ESR will work in the "Neuro-Ethics and Law" research team at the
Institute of Law and Welfare, UEF Law School. "Neuro-Ethics and Law" research
team focuses on the research related to patients’ rights in neurodegenerative
diseases and other disabilities. In line with a holistic approach, our aim is
to ensure, that patients and their families, despite of the illness, have the
opportunity to live a good life with dignity and to be recognized as full
members of society. |

Capillary nanosuspensions for fabrication of smart porous materials |
Creating strong physical gels in a controlled way with network structure
having varying degree of strength from the same components and concentration
is useful in many applications such as in the structuring of foods or cosmetic
formulations, or as a precursor for porous materials, membranes, and printed
electronics. The nature of gel in terms of its structure and strength is a
strong function of processing conditions. The gel state when manufactured
might differ from its final state during application due to transport and
storage. The final application can be at large scale such as in an industrial
setting where the material has to flow from point A (where it is manufactured)
to point B (where it is stored/shipped) or in a small scale like3D printing
where the material has to flow from storage tank via a dispensing nozzle to
form complex structures. One of the biggest challenges is to have the same
network structure before and after flow so that the final product will have
desired properties.
Recently, we have shown that adding a small amount of immiscible secondary
fluid to a suspension can lead to dramatic changes in its structure forming
space spanning networks that are called capillary suspensions. These
suspensions are ternary particle-liquid-liquid systems composed of particles
dispersed in a primary liquid having a small amount of secondary immiscible
liquid. Depending on the ratio of secondary liquid to that of the primary and
the wettability of the particles one can obtain two distinct state: the
pendular state where the secondary liquid wets the particles more than the
primary; and the capillary state where the wetting is reversed. The addition
of secondary fluid leads to dramatic transition from a free-flowing liquid
state to a strong gel state. Depending on the composition of particle-liquid-
liquid systems, one can transition from a pendular state to spherical
agglomeration, or form bicontinuous structures (bijels).
Capillary nanosuspensions can be designed and fabricated with the forces
between the nanoparticles responding to external stimuli or chemical
reactions, which allows programming the response of the suspensions to changes
in environmental pH, temperature or salinity. Capillary suspensions can also
be used as precursors for fabrication of porous ceramic materials. The
combination of microparticles and nanoparticles leads to a significant
increase in the compressive strength of the resulting material. The
combination of nanoparticles with different wettabilities enables the
fabrication of smart porous materials that can be applied, for example, for
the separation of liquids. To understand the influence of combination of
particles of different sizes and wettabilities as well as the properties of
the liquid phases on the network structure and rheology of capilla... For more

Fully funded PhD position for a project: Investigation of new and emerging
pollutants and microplastics sources in atmosphere and their toxicological
effects |
This is a unique opportunity to obtain a PhD degree from the UK and Australian
Universities ( Coventry and Deakin).
There is a strong concern over growing number of allergies and premature
deaths from poor air quality. Particulates are the most harmful
form of air pollution due to their ability to penetrate deep into the lungs,
blood streams and brain. These particulates are loaded with 1000s of organic
chemicals, however, only a small fraction of particulates’ organic carbon is
identified at molecular level (<20%). So-called new and emerging pollutants
(NEPs) e.g. pharmaceuticals, pesticides, industrial chemicals, personal care
products and microplastics have been relatively recently identified in aquatic
and soil environments. Although NEPs is a term used for soil and aquatic
environments, most of them have chemical properties enabling their easy
transfer into atmosphere.
The project will investigate, NEPs (including microplastics) in atmospheric
particulates. This will be done through analytical method development for
measuring NEPs, field campaigns (near NEPs emission sources and at a
background urban site), lab experiments to understand NEPs transfer mechanism
from their sources and assessment of cytotoxicity and the inflammatory
response in human bronchial epithelial cells cultured in vitro at air-liquid
interface.
The project will utilise state-of-the arts analytical instruments including
Orbitrap High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry coupled to Thermal Desorption and
Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography, and Infrared Microscopy.
###
### **Training and Development**
### ****
**Deakin University**
The multi-disciplinary and novel nature of the project offers an excellent
opportunity for higher degree research training. The PhD student will be
working under the supervision of Dr Stevanovic at Deakin University and will
be involved in the aspects of physical and chemical characterization of
aerosols as well as measurements of their oxidative capacity. Working together
with Dr Stevanovic, Dr Kourtchev and Dr Bogush the student will
establish the impact of waste-water treatment plants on emission of NEPs
(including microplastics) into atmosphere and their effects on human health.
The student will be trained to use highly sophisticated methods for particle
characterisations, measurement of oxidative potential and toxicity using high
tech air-to-liquid cell exposure system.
**Coventry University**
The successful candidate will acquire a wealth of new competences in
environmental analytical chemistry research, including new analytical skills
and instrumental methods under the guidance of Dr Kourtchev and Dr Bogush (co-
supervisor). The applicant will benefit from the unique opportunity of using
the powerful instruments available for determining the molecular composition
of environmental samples. Training on cutting-edge High-Resolution Mass
Spectrometry (HRMS), hyphenated techniques (e.g. Thermal Desorption and
Pyrolysis GC-MS) and FTIR and Raman microscopes will provide knowledge of off-
line analytical methods. Furthermore, the training provided in the advanced
data analysis tools (PCA, PMF, HCA) will furnish the applicant with new
technological competencies that are increasingly being used in environmental
chemistry research to interpret highly complex datasets, such as those
generated in field measurements, including in organisms. The new knowledge and
training acquired by the applicant will significantly improve his/her
scientific skills base and provide a strong platform for building an
independent research career integrating methods from both chemistry and
biology fields.
The successful candidate will receive comprehensive research training
including technical, personal and professional skills.
All researchers at Coventry University (from PhD to Professor) are part of the
Doctoral College and Centre for Research Capability and Development, which
provides support with high-quality training and career development activities. |

Research fellow |
Research fellow at the School of Science working with Dr Xacobe C. Cambeiro in
the EPSRC-funded project " **Artificial photosynthesis strategies for
synthesis: combined photoredox and transition metal-catalysed transfer
hydrogenation of C-C multiple bonds** ". Position funded initially for 18
months, full time (35 hours a week) with a salary of £36,914 per year. If
interested, please contact Xacobe directly at
[x.cambeiro@gre.ac.uk](mailto:x.cambeiro@gre.ac.uk)
**_Background_.** The development of artificial photosynthesis methods can
make a key contribution to the decarbonisation of chemical industry. In
particular, methods for the reduction of organic compounds such as catalytic
hydrogenation and related hydrofunctionalisation of alkenes and alkynes are
key transformations at the core of chemical science and industry, but they
rely heavily on the use of high-high energy reductants such as H2, not
directly available in nature and with a large carbon footprint, besides other
issues. An ideal solution to the reduction of organic compounds would be a
reaction catalysed by Earth-abundant metals and using H2O as a reductant, with
concomitant release of O2. H2O is of course a cheap, abundant and harmless
chemical, and the only waste produced would be O2 which can be safely released
into the atmosphere, thus making concepts like atom-economy trivial in this
case. However, the development of such methodology faces formidable
challenges, among them the lack of a thermodynamic drive for the reaction.
_**Aim.**_ The main objective of this research project is to develop new and
sustainable photocatalytic methodologies for transfer hydrogenation and
reductive functionalisation of unsaturated compounds using abundant,
environmentally benign metal catalysts and reactants, en route to the direct
use of H2O as the sole reductant. The fellow will work towards this objective
initially by studying the catalytic activity of several types of
organometallic Fe and Ni compounds in photocatalytic transfer hydrogenation
reactions with H2O as the source of H. The project will require the evidence-
based design of complex multimetallic catalytic cycles, using a variety of
experimental and theoretical tools for mechanistic investigation.
_**Training.**_ The fellow will receive training in organic synthesis,
organometallic chemistry, photochemistry and catalysis, including advanced
techniques for the investigation of reaction mechanisms, both experimental and
theoretical. They will acquire relevant transferable skills, such as oral and
written presentation of research results and supervision of less experienced
researchers. In addition, they will have unfettered access to the University’s
Research and Enterprise Training Institute for additional skills training.
_**Environment.**_ The fellow will join a vibrant team of postgraduate
students and postdocs working in the synthetic and medicinal chemistry
research group at the School of Science, sited at the University of Greenwich
dedicated Science and Engineering campus at Medway (Kent), just over 30 min by
train from central London or 45 min from historic Greenwich with the
university-operated bus service. The team includes researchers working in
photochemistry, electrochemistry and flow chemistry systems as well as more
traditional synthetic methods, which provides a very diverse research and
learning experience for members. Xacobe is an expert in catalysis applied to
the discovery of new organic reactions, with interests in photocatalysis and
transition metal catalysis as well as the study of reaction mechanisms. He is
a relatively recent PI, having just completed supervision of his first PhD
student and an MSCA postdoctoral fellow, and is enthusiastically looking
forward to the evolution of the different research projects in the group in
the next months and years.

PhD studentship |
A PhD studentship is available to work on the project " **Sustainable methods
for the synthesis of bioactive compounds through machine learning – New
catalysts for the selective activation of aliphatic C-H bonds promoted by
visible light** ", jointly supervised by Dr Jiayun Pang, Dr Xacobe C. Cambeiro
and Prof. Adrian Dobbs. The position is funded by a Vicechancellor Scholarship
of the University of Greenwich, which covers a stipend in line with RCUK
(currently £15,285 per year) and home student university registration fees.
Applicants not eligible for home fees would need to fund the difference. If
interested, contact Xacobe directly by e-mail:
[x.cambeiro@gre.ac.uk](mailto:x.cambeiro@gre.ac.uk).
_**Background.**_ C-H functionalisation methods offer an invaluable
opportunity for the design of streamlined, more efficient and environmentally
benign syntheses by using ubiquitous C-H bonds as reactive handles for the
coupling of organic fragments. Photocatalytic C-H functionalisation of alkanes
via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalysis has recently emerged as a powerful
strategy. However, the design of catalysts able to selectively activate a
specific C-H bond in the presence of many others has been prevented by the
subtle balance of variables involved. Computational approaches and in
particular machine learning are emerging as powerful tools for catalyst design
in related areas.
_**Aim.**_ We propose here a strategy for the development of selective C-H
functionalisation reactions based on using machine learning for the
construction of predictive models. This approach will be demonstrated through
the development of an oxidative alkylation of pyridine derivatives with O2 as
the terminal oxidant, which will be used for the synthesis of valuable
pyridine-containing bioactive molecules.
_**Environment.**_ The student will join a vibrant team of postgraduate
students and postdocs working in the synthetic and medicinal chemistry
research group at the School of Science, sited at the University of Greenwich
dedicated Science and Engineering campus at Medway (Kent), just over 30 min by
train from central London, or 45 min from historic Greenwich with the
university-operated bus service (heavily discounted for students). The team
includes researchers working in photochemistry, electrochemistry and flow
chemistry systems as well as more traditional synthetic methods, which
provides a very diverse research and learning experience for members.
_**Training.**_ The student will receive multidisciplinary training in
synthesis, photocatalysis, computational chemistry and machine learning,
developing a uniquely diverse set of skills of high value for their future
career. Also, the student will learn to use analytical instruments such as
NMR, GCMS and UHPLC as well as electrochemistry equipment. Training-by-
research will be facilitated by the supervisors, and the student will have
unfettered access to the University’s Research and Enterprise Training
Institute for additional skills training.

**About the Role**
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Research Fellow in Food
Systems to join the Plant Science Laboratory at the School of Water, Energy,
Environment and AgriFood at Cranfield University, to work on EPSRC funded
project ‘Zero-emission cold-chain (ZECC) building the road to sustainable
cold-chain systems for food resilience’.
This project brings together (i) world-leading interdisciplinary researchers
from the UK working across the food cold-chain sector and sustainable energy;
(ii) government and global agencies; (iii) stakeholder industries; (iii) new
technology innovators; and (iv) cold-chain customers from farmer to retailer
to provide fundamental new knowledge. It will provide a whole systems approach
to redefine the cold-chain architecture and map the opportunities available to
reach net zero emissions by 2050, so as to deliver demand and climate
adaptation; resilience; and decarbonisation of the cold-chain for the food
industry. Working on this initiative will contribute to reduce food loss and
waste globally, increasing sustainability and resilience of the food supply
chain. This project is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the
United Nations and the objectives set by the Montreal Protocol.
The Plant Science Laboratory is one of the largest centres dedicated to
research, consultancy and education in postharvest biology and technology of
fresh produce in Europe. We service all sectors of the fresh produce supply
chain including many of the major multinational food companies, multiple food
retailers and undertake research for both national and international
Governments, research councils, and levy bodies. Our aim is to find answers to
biological challenges in partnership with our clients.
**About You**
You will be responsible for the data collection, analysis and interpretation
of results in collaboration with all project partners: University of
Birmingham, Heriot-Watt University and London South Bank University.
Innovative thinking is key in this project.
You will have a PhD in agriculture or related subject and extensive experience
in data analysis and food systems management. You will have excellent project
and time management skills, ensuring that milestones and deliverables are
achieved to time and to high quality. You will be able to work in
multidisciplinary teams and produce high quality manuscripts.
**Our Values**
Our shared, stated values help to define who we are and underpin everything we
do: Ambition; Impact; Respect; and Community. Find out more
[here](https://www.cranfield.ac.uk/about/about). We aim to create and maintain
a culture in which everyone can work and study together and realise their full
potential.
**Diversity and Inclusion**
Our equal opportunities and diversity monitoring has shown that women and
minority ethnic groups are currently underrepresented within the university
and so we actively encourage applications from eligible candidates from these
groups.
To further demonstrate our commitment to progressing gender diversity in STEM,
we are members of WES & Working Families, and sponsors of International Women
in Engineering Day.
**Flexible Working**

PhD (H/F) in Structural and functional characterization of the machinery used
by the Mimiviridae to compact their genomes |
The IGS laboratory is a pioneer and a world leader in the study of giant
viruses for which we discovered the four known families. A unique strength of
the IGS laboratory is the coexistence of a computational biology team and an
experimental biology team, allowing efficient and seamless continuity from
isolation of new microorganisms to their comprehensive characterization using
genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. The laboratory also has the capacity
to determine the 3D-structure of viral proteins of specific interest using
X-ray crystallography alone or in combination with Electron Microscopy. An ERC
advanced grant starting in October 2019 provides two post-doctoral positions
and two PhD grants to study the structural organization of the genomes of the
Mimiviridae and identify the machinery responsible for their packaging into
rod shaped structures filling the 450nm icosahedral virions.
The IGS laboratory is already well equipped for cellular biology (2 L2 rooms,
6 PSM, 3 fluorescence microscopes (including 1 Zeiss Axio), 4 incubators),
biochemistry (PCR, 1 Microbiology PSM, 3 incubators, 2 Aktä explorer 10S, 1
Aktä 3D, 1 Aktä Prime, Nanodrop, Qubit, 96-well and 1mL spectrophotometers),
and structural biology (Mosquito crystallization robot, in-house
diffractometer (Oxford diffraction Xcalibur PXUltra, a speedvac SPD131
ThermoFischer). The IGS has direct access to the 12 technical platforms at the
Mediterranean Institute of Microbiology (IMM, AMU-CNRS FR3479, Staff: 300).
The platforms of interest for the project are fluorescence/TEM imaging (TEM,
Cryo-TEM), NMR (600 MHz, cryoprobe), Proteomics, protein expression and
protein interaction facility (1 Aktä prime, 1 Aktä Pure). The protein
production platform runs a Blitz system used to rapidly screen and
characterize macromolecular interactions. The IGS also has permanent access to
the Luminy campus imagery platforms including electron microscopy (TEM and
STEM) at the IBDM (Institut de Biologie du Développement de Marseille). The
IGS masters all the required skills in cellular biology (light, fluorescence
and electron microscopy, virus purification, synchronized infections,
extraction, and molecular studies), structural biology, biochemistry and
virology methods. The laboratory is also part of the Marseille synchrotron BAG
and has access to European synchrotron radiation facilities and Soleil for
crystallography. The Bag also provides free of charge access to the EM
platforms at ESRF equipped with Titan Krios cryo-electron microscope with K2
Summit direct electron detector, a Quantum LS imaging filter and a Volta phase
plate (VPP). This microscope will be run as a beamline (CM01) within the
Partnership for Structural Biology (PSB) together with the microscopes located
at IBS and EMBL. The IGS laboratory possesses all necessary computing power (a
total of 71 Nodes for 828 Cores and 150 Tb of storage including 3 SMP nodes
with 256 Gb to 1 Tb of RAM and a massive GPU node with 18432 cuda cores over 4
NVIDIA RTX8000 )
The IGS laboratory is offering a PhD position (M/W) in the context of and ERC
grant. The applicant will work with a postdoc already in the laboratory. The
whole project aim is to elucidate how the Mimiviridae genome is packaged
inside the icosahedral capsids. As the disorganized DNA is packaged through at
least one lipidic membrane into a rod-shaped helicoidal structure with a 30nm
section, a specific assembly machinery must be devoted to the genome
packaging. The ultimate goal of the project will be to compare this machinery
with the DNA translocation machineries used in the cellular and the viral
world.
A first objective of the project will be to determine the structure of the
enzyme involved in the loading and compaction of viral DNA conserved in all
major nucleocytoplasmic DNA viruses. This enzyme will be used as a bait to
identify membrane proteins capable of interacting in order to study them
structurally and functionally, in vitro and in infected cells. The candidate
will express the identified proteins and use standard methodologies
(nanodisks, crystallization, Cryo-EM) to solve the structures of individual
proteins and pre-assembled complexes in vitro. This part of the project will
be performed under the supervision of a researcher experienced in membrane and
membrane proteins purification. |

Phd student (M/W ) : DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF NANOBODIES AS PHARMACOLOGICAL
TOOLS AND IMAGING AGENTS : APPLICATION TO NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES |
Within the Centre de Biophysique Moléculaire (CBM - UPR4301) located in
Orléans on the CNRS campus, the PhD student will work in the thematic group
"Cellular microenvironment and receptor pharmacology" and will be supervised
by a CNRS researcher of this group.
The CBM develops research at the interface of Chemistry, Biology and Physics
which focuses on the molecular mechanisms of life and the dysfunctions which
lead to the development of certain diseases.
The thesis is financed by an ANR program.
The present project aims at proposing new pharmacological tools for the
treatment of brain disorders and in particular for the treatment of
psychiatric and/or neurodegenerative diseases. In recent years, with the
increasing ageing of our population, there has been an increase in the number
of people affected by Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease. Our team is
interested in two molecular targets, membrane receptors involved in the
processes of neurodegeneration and in the regulation of the neuroinflammatory
response. If the use of chemical molecules in various animal models has
validated the interest of these receptors for the treatment of these
pathologies, the currently available molecules/biomolecules present some
limitations to be used in therapy (lack of bioavailability and selectivity).
In recent years, an alternative to synthetic chemistry for targeting receptors
has emerged and is based on the development of nanobodies, antibody fragments
with high affinity and selectivity.
Compared to conventional antibodies, nanobodies (VHH) are small (~12 kDa) and
lack a light chain (Muyldermans, 2013). Due to their convex shape
preferentially recognizing concave antigens, they are particularly attractive
for targeting buried epitopes such as those found in receptor ligand binding
pockets (De Genst et al, 2006; Muyldermans et al, 2009). Thus, VHHs appear as
particularly interesting tools, highly selective and able to act as allosteric
modulators. For the last ten years, they have been the subject of much
interest from the pharmaceutical industry and academic researchers, with
several HHVs in preclinical or clinical phases, and one being approved by the
FDA in 2019. However, their short lifetime after systemic administration (30
minutes) compared to classical antibodies (15 days) remains a limitation for
their therapeutic use. The originality of our project lies in its ambition to
develop by molecular engineering modified and optimized nanobodies more
resistant to degradation by proteases and less immunogenic compared to
classical nanobodies. After screening by phage display, a multi-scale approach
will allow to characterize these nanobodies at the molecular (in silico
approach, structural analysis), cellular (signaling pathways) and tissue (ex
vivo and in vivo tests) levels. |

Researcher (M/F) for the study of long-range electrodynamic interactions
between proteins. |
The candidate will be expected to play a lead role in:
(1) The selection and design of protein models;
(2) The determination of the experimental conditions providing the at best the
physiological environment for stabilized protein structures tacking into
account technological constraints;
(3) The engineering of the relevant biological models for liquid-liquid phase
separation studies and light controlled molecular interactions;
(4) The development of analytical tools.
The person recruited will work on a project that aims to extend the paradigm
of the self-organization of the intracellular living matter, by exploring in
biological systems the existence of long-range electrodynamic interactions
(LEDIs) on protein-protein recognition processes.
LEDIs result from condensation phenomenon, characterized by the emerging of
the mode of lowest frequency, expected in the TeraHertz (THz) frequency band.
However, to date, LEDIs have eluded detection, mainly because performing THz
spectroscopy in aqueous media is a well-known technological roadblock not yet
overcome. In this project, the LINkS consortium will develop a breakthrough
lab-on-chip THz biosensor technology to investigate LEDIs between proteins,
from in vitro to in vivo.
Within the frame of an interdisciplinary collaboration with Professor Marco
PETTINI (Centre de Physique Théorique, Marseille, France) and Associate
Professor Jérémie TORRES (Institut d'électronique et des systèmes,
Montpellier, France), the successful candidate will join the Centre
d'Immunologie de Marseille Luminy, a public research institute dedicated to
study immunology, located in the south of Marseille, France, at the gates of
the beautiful Calanques National Park. The institute, which provides access to
state-of-the art core facilities, has developed an organization and practices
designed to foster the creativity and risk-taking of its researchers.
Our consortium gathers interdisciplinary expertise including theoretical
physics, cell biology, nanotechnology and microfluidic engineering. Three
academic partners and two SMEs, from four European countries will work in
strong collaboration, across the traditional boundaries of their disciplines,
to develop a disruptive lab-on-chip THz biosensor able to investigate LEDIs in
the real complexity of biological systems.
LINkS project will have significant benefits for understanding the influence
of electromagnetic fields on living organisms thus opening up new fields of
research in medicine and biology. |

Silicon Photonics for HIgh-dimension Frequency entanglement Applications (H/F) |
The field of photonic quantum information aims at exploiting quantum states of
light to achieve communication and computational tasks that are not
classically feasible. One of today's strong driving routes lies in the
implementation of quantum systems for real-world applications and use-cases,
with high societal and economic impacts. In this context, the use of high-
dimensional entangled states has recently attracted much attention as they
enable the possibility of encoding large amounts of information on paired
photons answering today's challenge of fibre quantum communication in terms of
data capacity, robustness, as well as true securing. On the other hand,
quantum integrated photonics has now reached a level of maturity allowing the
development of practical, flexible, compact, and scalable solutions, holding
the promise of technological breakthroughs in quantum information technology.
SPHIFA relies on a new generation photonic quantum systems to create,
manipulate, and detect high-dimension photonic quantum states – qudits and
clusters - encoded in the frequency domain. To tackle this hot topic, the
project marries quantum and integrated optics devoted to multimode
entanglement-based quantum communication demonstrators that are fully
exploitable, autonomous, and flexible. The ambition is to answer the quest to
out-of-the-laboratory realizations by providing novel and strategic concepts
and technological routes.
The proposed PhD thesis will investigate high-dimension frequency entanglement
generated by non-linear interaction in silicon nitride-based (Si/SiN): this
platform can allow developing a complete set of flexible integrated functions,
ranging from entanglement sources to adjustable configuration circuits, and
optical detectors. All experiments will be mainly developed in continuous
variable regime of quantum optics; however, discrete variable analyses will
also be performed.
The work main objectives are:
\- two-mode squeezing compound of 4 frequency-entangled bi-partite states (CV-
qudit with d=4).
\- teleportation of multicolor DV-qudit in CV teleportation scheme.

Postdoc M / F Angle resolved molécular photoionization dynamics |
The candidate will be in charge of conducting the multidimensional data
analysis, extending the Matlab software developed in the group to elucidate
the spectroscopy of molecular ionic states and obtain MFPADs from the electron
and ion momenta measured for the DPI coincident events, and to further extract
the complex valued transition matrix elements and ionization delays from the
measured MFPADs. He/she will play an active role in the interpretation of the
results, in collaboration with Pr. R.R. Lucchese (Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory) who develops advanced theoretical calculations of angularly
resolved photoionization dynamics in molecules, leading to draft manuscripts
for publication. The activity of the candidate will as well focus on upgrading
the instrumental capabilities of the ISMO reaction microscope.
During the proposed five-month post-doctoral internship in our group in the
DIRAM team at ISMO, the recruited candidate will focus on two directions
aiming at the characterization of single-photon ionization dynamics of small
molecules (diatomic or triatomic) by attosecond photoionization time-delays
angle-resolved in the molecular frame.
The first one consists of the extraction, interpretation and publication of
ionization time delays from measured molecular frame photoelectron angular
distributions (MFPADs) obtained in XUV inner-valence dissociative
photoionization (DPI) of N2 and CO molecules, in the presence of shape
resonances. The latter will provide benchmark references for future
experiments based on a RABBITT XUV-IR interferometric scheme to obtain
ionization delays from MFPADs time-resolved at the attosecond scale.
Secondly, relying on the spectroscopy of the NO+, N2+, or CO+ ionic states
elucidated in earlier experiments at photon excitation energies corresponding
to the high-order harmonics (HHs) of a fundamental laser at 800 nm, the focus
will be on designing and optimizing the working conditions of the electron-ion
coincidence 3D momentum reaction microscope developed by ISMO, to be used as
end-station to measure time-resolved MFPADs in a RABBITT XUV-IR scheme on the
ATTOLAB FAB-10 HHG beamline (LIDYL, CEA, Université Paris-Saclay).
ISMO is a research institute of the University Paris Saclay, recognized
nationally and internationally for its activities in nanotechnology
applications for biological and medical research, molecular physics,
spectroscopy (with astrophysical applications), surface sciences and
plasmonics.
The candidate will work within the DIRAM team. |

Researcher (M/F) on the development of a new impregnation-refreeze protocol
for tomography of snow samples |
The recruited post-doc will take charge of the following activities:
• Develop and test impregnation-refreezing protocols in a cold room (or
occasionally in the field).
• Prepare impregnated snow samples and then image them by X-ray tomography.
• Implement or develop image processing and analysis tools in order to segment
the obtained images in gray levels and to allow their geometric
characterization (specific surface area, curvatures, sphericity, etc.).
• Analyze the obtained results and disseminate them to the scientific
community (international journals and conferences).
Snow microstructure research is mainly based on X-ray absorption tomography, a
technique dedicated to the three-dimensional observation of materials. It
involves collecting samples of snow obtained in cold room or in the field,
which often requires stabilizing the microstructure of these samples in order
to allow their transport, their conservation, and their observation by
tomography. This operation is generally carried out by impregnation-
refreezing, a technique which consists in replacing the air of the pores with
a liquid product, then in freezing this product. In this research work, after
having taken in hand the existing impregnation-refreezing protocols, the post-
doctoral researcher will propose new approaches (new products, new techniques)
in order to simplify the current methods while preserving the quality of the
obtained images. Such a quality will be evaluated using existing image
processing and analysis methods, or with newly developed approaches.
The work will take place at the Center d'Etudes de la Neige, located on the
Grenoble campus. It will be supervised by Frédéric Flin (CNRM/CEN). |

Researcher in Prehistoric Archaeology, specialist in ornement artefact |
The post-doctoral fellow will contribute in particular to different aspects
A reasoned, up-to-date and exhaustive inventory of the objects of adornment
discovered in the Magdalenian sites of the Paris Basin
Carry out a precise determination of the nature and possible provenance of the
materials identified. To do this, in addition to the study of geological maps,
BRGM memoirs, IGN maps, and geology, palaeontology and malacology manuals, the
project will rely on the constitution of up-to-date reference systems.
The study will also consist of collecting petrographic samples of "black soft
rocks" (carbonaceous organogenic rocks and coal-bearing wood) which, according
to initial analyses, have potentially circulated over long distances. The
collected geological samples and a selection of archaeological objects will be
subjected to organic petrology analyses in collaboration with the
Geoarchaeology Working Group of the University of Tübingen (project partner).
The publication of one or more individual and/or collective articles on the
analyses of the data collected during the project.
The post-doctoral fellow will be part of the Prehistory and Technology
laboratory (UMR 7055). She/He will work under the supervision of Catherine
Perlès (Pr Eméritus, UMR 7055) and Ludovic Mevel (CNRS, UMR 7041) in the
framework of the "MAT PAR" project, which aims to study the territorial
constructions and social networks of the human groups that occupied the Paris
Basin at the end of the Magdalenian period (13,000 BP) through a detailed
analysis of the materials used in the production of ornamental objects. The
post-doctoral fellow will be responsible for producing a reasoned, up-to-date
and exhaustive inventory of the objects of adornment discovered in the
Magdalenian sites of the Paris Basin, by examining the scientific literature
(articles, site monographs) as well as by consulting the archaeological
collections. This inventory will make it possible to obtain detailed data on
the composition of the ornaments and materials used, so that quantitative
readings can then be made (proportion of each type used) and to highlight the
choices made among the resources available. The geographical distribution of
the sites that delivered the different materials will make it possible to
understand their scale of distribution.
The issues of the MAT PAR project are part of the scientfic areas of the
Prehistory and Technology laboratory (in particular themes 1, 2 and 3:
) and of the Prehistoric
Ethnology team (UMR 7041) ()
where the post-doctoral student will benefit from the expertise of its
members, who are largely involved in these issues.
He/she will benefit from scientific support, a place to work and access to all
the necessary archaeological documentation. |

Synthesis and Characterisation of porous materials for H2 adsorption - Post-
doc H/F |
This multidisciplinary proposal is related to the synthesis and study of
porous cyano-bridged coordination networks and the evaluation of their
potential for
hydrogen storage. The main objectives will be to:
(i) Synthesize porous cyano-bridged coordination networks (Prussian Blue
Analogues and Hofmann clathrates);
(ii) Post-synthesize these materials with various functionalities able to
promote
hydrogen storage;
(iii) Characterize the sorption properties of the resulting materials. A
particular effort
will be devoted to develop and perform in situ Raman spectroscopy with a new
equipment purchased in the frame of the proposal.
Materials able to reversibly store and release hydrogen H2 represents a
critical societal challenge. Porous coordination frameworks have been often
compared to other porous materials such as zeolites. The flexibility of
molecular
chemistry could be taken as an advantage to tune their structure in order to
optimize
such hydrogen capture. In complement, computational approaches will be
performed by other researchers in the project.
The synthesis and characterization of the materials will be performed at
the Institute Charles Gerhardt, in the Ingénierie Moléculaire et Nano-Objets
(IMNO)
team. The hydrogen sorption experiments will be carried out at the Institut
Européen
des Membranes. |

M/F Post-Doctorate researcher - Study of contact pressure in new technologies
of dressings |
The problem concerns the behavior in static / creep of mechanical contact of
polymer materials. It will be seen along two axes:
\- Experimental: creep of the materials used in dressings with implementation
of a contact creep test "representative" of the phenomenon causing bedsores
\- Numerical modeling of dressings under static loading and in contact creep.
As part of its activities, a pharmaceutical company specializing in the
treatment of wounds is developing new ranges of dressings in order to better
prevent the appearance of phenomena inherent in the formation of bedsores.
Most often, these bedsores develop as a result of prolonged pressure which
gradually causes deterioration of the skin due to the crushing of the blood
vessels caused by the excessive pressure. Thus, in addition to the aspects of
permeability, moisture absorption and mechanical protection which these
dressings must satisfy, it is important to understand the evolution of the
contact pressure during their applications, in order to optimize the
composition. and the choice of materials that compose them.
The problematic is centered on the study of the relations between the
morphology, the chemical nature of the materials of the new dressings and the
behavior in static / creep of contact. In this context, the Charles Sadron
Institute (UPR22 CNRS) in collaboration with the pharmaceutical company is
recruiting a Post-Docrate researcher to study the contact mechanics of
dressings under development. In particular, the objective will be to establish
a correlation between the physicochemical properties of materials, their
arrangements and the contact deformations and their evolutions.
The Charles Sadron Institute (ICS) is a CNRS research unit located on the
Cronenbourg campus. This multidisciplinary institute dedicated to polymer
materials and self-assembled systems employs around 190 people, half of whom
are non-permanent. The ICS is organized into 7 research teams, 4 technological
platforms and administrative and technical services. The recruited person will
be assigned to the MIM team (Mechanics of Interfaces and Multiphase Systems). |

M/F Postdoctoral researcher - Characterization and mechanical study of fibrous
materials for lithium extraction |
The problem concerns the in-situ mechanical characterization by X-ray
microtomography of fibrous materials as a function of humidity and
temperature. A study of the topological optimization for the implementation of
a winding of these materials will also be carried out.
\- X-ray tomography of the material and of a stack of the uncompressed and
compressed material.
\- Measurements of material creep and stack creep: tomo RX analysis as a
function of time
\- Profile of the constraints of the coiled material: evolution of local
states as a function of time.
Lithium is present almost everywhere in the world in its natural state. It is
most often found in the form of ore directly embedded in rock or in
underground brines associated with other mineral salts. However, its
extraction under reasonable conditions requires a minimum concentration and
heavy and polluting means. With the rise of electric vehicles and the growing
demand for lithium batteries that accompanies it, it is becoming essential to
develop new resources and forms of extraction thereof.
Recently, the company GEOLITH has developed materials based on microfibers
with selective absorption properties. They act as a "filter" to selectively
capture lithium. This technology (Li-Capt) stands out from the others by being
more respectful of the environment and paves the way for less concentrated
lithium deposits, in particular geothermal and petroleum water still
unexploited to date.
To allow industrialization of this Li-Capt process, a collaborative Research &
Development (R&D) and Innovation project between the company GEOLITH and
several laboratories in the Grand-Est region has been set up. In this context,
the Charles Sadron Institute is recruiting a Postdoctoral researcher to study
the mechanical behavior of the Li-Capt material with a view to optimizing the
fluid flow of this material conditioned in the form of coils. In particular,
it is now known that depending on the tension profile of the coil, it can take
more or less "loose" forms or under stress present over-stresses in the
center, generating undulations more or less compatible with a role of
filtration.
In particular, the study will be focused on the characterization of Li-Capt
materials in X-ray tomography under in-situ stresses with controlled
environment (hygrometry and temperature). The objective will be to establish a
correlation between the microstructure of the material's microfibers, their
topologies and the strain fields. Also, to allow optimization of the tension
profile for winding but also to take account of its resistance over time, the
viscoelastic nature of the material must be studied.
The Charles Sadron Institute (ICS) is a CNRS research unit located on the
Cronenbourg campus. This multidisciplinary institute dedicated to polymer
materials and self-assembled systems employs around 190 people, half of whom
are non-permanent. The ICS is organized into 7 research teams, 4 technological

This PhD thesis, jointly supervised by the University of Paris-Est (Créteil)
and ETS Montreal, will take place within the Franco-Canadian Laboratory for
Ultrasound Research (LAFCUS). The candidate will be located half of the time
in the Modeling and Multi-Scale Simulation laboratory located in Créteil
(access Metro line 8 and RER D) and the other half in the ETS Montreal in
Canada. This work will be carried out in close collaboration with the company
WaveImplant and the orthopedic service of the Henri Mondor hospital.
mainly in civil engineering, in the biomedical field and in non-destructive
testing. However, many issues remain open such as for example the resolution
of inverse problems like cracks identifications or the estimation of the
biomechanical properties of bone tissue.
An effective way to tackle this problem consists in coupling the development
of advanced experimental techniques with acoustic modeling using advanced and
numerical simulation methods. We can also cite the development of "machine
learning" type techniques, which are powerful approaches under strong
development, in particular for solving various inverse problems.
Mission. The objective of this thesis work is to develop inversion methods
based on acoustic modeling and the development of approaches using artificial
intelligence in order to solve various problems arising in the field of NDT as
well as biomedical engineering. Among the problems addressed, we can cite in
particular the estimation of the osseointegration of dental and orthopedic
implants, the measurement of bone quality, the quantification of the bonded
assembly shear modulus and the interpretation of the signals acquired by
phased array ultrasound transducers.
Activities. The candidate will first focus on understanding the phenomena of
ultrasonic propagation in the media considered. Then, acoustic models will be
developed, and adapted and efficient numerical simulation methods will be
implemented. These approaches will then be used in different scenarios in
order to derive a database that will be used to perform the inversion of the
simulated data and then of the experimental data. The number of experimental
cases to be included in the database in order to allow the convergence of
algorithms will also be explored. This work will mainly consist of the
development of physical models, large-scale calculation methods and of
experiments representative of real cases.
Skills. You hold or are enrolled in a Master 2 in mechanics, acoustics or
biomechanics exclusively. Your dynamism, your rigor, your sense of listening,
and your adaptability will make the difference. Coming from a
multidisciplinary training, you have good skills in mechanical engineering,
electronics, acoustics, imaging, signal processing and digital simulation. You
also have an attraction for the field of biomedical engineering, even no
particular skill in this field is expected. |

(Antwerp, Belgium). The appointment is for a period of 3 years (period
November 2021 - October 2024) from a funding from the 'Climate and
Biodiversity initiative' of BNP Paribas. The salary is 1700€ after taxes and
includes social security benefits. The candidate commits to complete a PhD
dissertation, at least two publications in high-profile international journals
before PhD defence, and communication(s) at international congress
Plasticity of phenology is considered as one of the major mechanisms through
which organisms can adapt to climate change. However, we still know little
about the ecological factors that will constrain or facilitate this
adaptation.
This PhD project is organized around two main themes (1) Evaluate how
environmental conditions affect the expression of plasticity. Plasticity is
always a response to the environment, but this plasticity (i.e. how the
organism responds to the environment) can itself change with the environment,
due to simultaneous variation in multiple factors or environments experienced
earlier in the organisms' life; and (2) Evaluate how adaptive these responses
are to multiple environmental factors. Recent modelling approaches allow
estimating optimum phenotypes in the wild and assessing the adaptive value of
expressed reaction norms.
This project will be based on statistical analyses of long term data obtained
from monitoring of wild bird populations, mainly blue and great tits but an
interspecific approach can be developed on several passerines birds based on
citizen science monitoring as well. |

Plasticity of phenology is considered as one of the major mechanisms through
which organisms can adapt to climate change. However, we still know little
about the limits to the expression of plasticity in new environments such as
exceptionally warm springs or urban environments.
This PhD project will tackle this question by investigating whether we can
already see limits to plasticity in exceptionally warm years, and/or in urban
environments (where the nutrient and heat constraints are magnified). The
project will be run at a large spatial scale, based on human landscape use. If
such limits of plasticity exist (1) can they be predicted based on some
species / populations / habitats features, and (2) what are the constraints to
the evolution of plasticity? This last question will be tackled by
investigating the within population genetic variance for plasticity and the
extent to which it varies among populations, but also across species, trying
to evaluate more long term constraints on plasticity evolution.
This project will be based on statistical analyses of long term data obtained
from monitoring of wild bird populations, mainly blue and great tits but an
interspecific approach can be developed on several passerines birds based on
citizen science monitoring. |

re-trained over observed knowledge, in order to be constantly aligned with the
evolving environment and able to recognize emerging suspicious correlations.
\- Task 7.2 Operational Knowledge and Intelligence Exploration and Search
focuses on the development of novel methods to search and explore large multi-
modal collections. It utilizes metric- and representation learning, zero-,
single- or few-shot learning approaches to search for content that is not
identified by pre-defined supervised classifiers, detectors or trackers and
further includes local similarity and near duplicate estimations. This task
will further develop methods to provide content recommendations such as
similar videos taken from different perspectives, audio similarity and text
matching as well as novel approaches to align multi-modal information to
facilitate modality-agnostic search interfaces.
\- Task 8.7 Data protection and privacy by design measures will provide LEA
with solutions to ensure data privacy at the system level. The first one will
consist in a Decision Support System (DSS) or Recommender system that will
propose high level authorization policies by learning users' privacy
preferences, with the aim of protecting end-user's personal data. The system
will propose authorization policies thanks to specific learning algorithms.
The outcome will then be a multi-criteria model that will consider the end-
users' preferences for protecting privacy. The second one will merge the power
of collaborative/federated learning (with data not shared by design) and the
guarantees provided by differential confidentiality (at negligible
computational cost) in a unique framework for the design of AI models,
offering the possibility of using and combine several techniques depending on
the constraints of the use cases in the context of LEA operations and
cybersecurity.
Law enforcement agencies (LEAs) create and have access to larger amounts of
data more than ever before. Heralded as a golden age for LEAs' ability to
investigate, solve and predict crime, the big-data revolution, in many ways,
proved a false dawn with LEAs incapable yet to capitalise much of this data
effectively. Today, a new panacea exists – (machine learning in) Artificial
Intelligence (AI). AI is envisioned as a silver-bullet to many of societies'
current challenges - streamlining and enhancing productivity and efficiency,
spotting patterns and making decisions with unrivalled speed and accuracy. To
maximise the benefit of AI, LEAs must, for all the data they possess, also
embed a critical and humancentric, inclusive approach alongside a coherent
data strategy to underpin the implementation of any AI technologies for the
safety and security of our society.
STARLIGHT will perform an extensive analysis on current LEAs' gaps on the
adoption of AI and how to reinforce their capacity with AI based tools,
supported by innovating workshops to identify and consolidate LEAs' needs and
technology watch. STARLIGHT will then activate research beyond the state of
the art to bring EU LEAs in the era of Artificial Intelligence to counter
newly emerging security threats (including adversarial AI and misuse of AI for
criminal purposes)

PhD grant on the dynamics of mountain ecosystems using remote sensing |
The PhD student will be working at the Laboratoire d'Ecologie Alpine (LECA) in
the research team BIOM. The research agenda of BIOM is to to understand the
mechanisms driving the spatio-temporal dynamics of biodiversity and the
associated functions, and predicting their response to a variety of drivers.
LECA is a world-class research laboratory in biodiversity science.
-The PhD project focuses on livestock farming systems that rely on the use of high elevation pastoral areas for part of the year. Using a combination of high resolution remote sensing, the first objective of the PhD project will be to characterize the long-term land cover dynamics of high elevation grazed lands in the French Alps and the Pyrenees. A second objective will be to investigate the drivers of the observed changes using regionally downscaled times series of bioclimate - with a particular emphasis on snow cover regime and on soil climate - and of agricultural practices. This project is part of the ANR-funded project TOP that builds on the conceptual framework of socio-ecosystem and land science to understand the trajectory, vulnerability and resilience of mountain systems to changes in climate, vegetation and socio-cultural and economic context. |

Post-doc in programmable molecular active matter (M/F) |
Design and implement experiments (preparation of biochemical solutions, real-
time PCR, fluorescence microscopy)
Exploit the results (data analysis, image processing)
Contribute to the scientific output (writing articles and conference
presentations).
The objective of the project is to design and implement synthetic materials
that mimic the self-organizations observed during the development of an
embryo. The aim will thus be to couple the two types of molecular self-
organization mechanisms used in the laboratory, namely reaction-diffusion and
active matter. The molecular systems used will be based on DNA and enzymes for
the first one, microtubules and molecular motors for the second one.
By coupling these biochemical and mechanical self-organizations, we will seek
to develop chemo-mechanical and mechano-chemical transductions within a
"material". These active solutions will eventually be compartmentalized in
communicating droplets, or integrated in a host material, a hydrogel for
instance. We will thus move towards original synthetic materials, capable of
spatialization, self-organization, growth or deformation.
Located at the Laboratoire Jean Perrin, on the Pierre et Marie Curie campus of
Sorbonne University (Paris 05), our group is interested in the molecular
mechanisms responsible for the generation of order in living systems. Our
objective is to better understand the rules that drive the emergence of this
molecular order and to use this understanding to develop innovative materials
inspired by life.
To do so we follow a "bottom up" approach which consists in developing
dissipative molecular mechanisms capable of self-organization, in particular :
\- a reaction-diffusion mechanism based on DNA and enzymes, which generate
spatio-temporal concentration patterns, for example chemical fronts (Zadorin
et al, Phys Rev Lett, 2015), or band patterns (Zadorin et al, Nature
Chemistry, 2017).
\- a microtubule and molecular motor-based active matter mechanism able to
generate mechanical forces (Senoussi et al, PNAS, 2019 and Senoussi et al,
bioRxiv, 2021).
This contract is part of the ERC project "Metabolic soft matter with life-like
properties". |

PhD - Role of auditory and somatosensory feedback is the accuracy and
regularity of speech articulation |
The project is involved in measument of tongue movement using electro
magnetometer and in peturbing tongue movement during speech production using a
small robotic devices. The psychophysiological experiment will be carried out
using these techniques. We will test normally-developped individuals and
sensory-impared individuals. By comparing measured tongue behaviors, the
project will investigate underlied mechanism of on-line compensation for
speech prodcution stability concerning contribution of auditoy and
somatosensory feedback.
We expect a candidate with excellent verbal and written communication skills
who is strongly motivated in speech science and neuroscience field and has
substantial computer programming experience (in particular MATLAB and R).
General engineering knowledge and skill are recommended, but not mandatory.
The successful candidate will be expected to take a leading role in the
implementation execution, and interpretation of cognitive paradigms performed
in normally-developed, and sensory-impaired individuals to examine a
hypothesis concerning contributions and interactions of somatosensory and
auditory feedback in on-line compensation for speech production stability.
This position is a part of project funded by ANR titled as "Speech Production
Stability: contributions and interactions of somatosensory and auditory
feedback in on-line compensation", and will be carried out in corraboration
with GIPSA-lab and Institute des Sciences du Mouvement (ISM).
Speech production stability, i.e. the accuracy and the regularity of
underlying movements, is crucial for efficient speech communication in basic
daily situations. While auditory and somatosensory feedback contribute to
speech motor control, it is still unknown how these sensory inputs interact to
ensure the required stability. Our hypotheses are 1) that somatosensory
feedback plays a predominant role in quick on-line compensation due to shorter
response latency than auditory feedback, and 2) that the somatosensory-based
stability mechanism is acquired during speech development to achieve speech-
relevant auditory goals. We examine those hypotheses by measuring tongue
posture stabilization in sensory-intact and sensory-impaired individuals in
behavioural tests using tongue perturbations and by comparing the performance
across subject groups. The experimental methodology is based on a series of
original paradigms developed in GIPSA-Lab, using a robotic device enabling to
produce mechanical perturbation on the tongue in a precisely controlled way
both in space and time. Our project will provide clues as to the mechanisms
that enable speech production stability using sensory feedback. |

PhD position in Artificial Intelligence for Fluid Mechanics |
TU Delft is a top tier university and is exceedingly active in the field of
Artificial Intelligence. The AIFluids lab was recently established to foster
the use of AI in the Aerospace Sciences. Designing more efficient aircrafts
and wind farms requires a deeper understanding of complex flows. The AIFluids
Lab is focused on two major challenges of fluid mechanics: the prediction and
the control of complex, transitional and turbulent flows.
New experimental techniques and high-fidelity flow simulations are providing
larger and more detailed datasets. Using AI algorithms, the AIFluids Lab
leverages numerical and experimental data to build interpretable models of
transition and turbulence. Our objective is to combine human and machine
insights to get to the essence of complex physical flows.
This research project focuses on the modelling and prediction of roughness-
induced transition by using high-fidelity numerical simulations.
Correct prediction of laminar-to-turbulent transition in boundary layer flows
is crucial for estimating aerodynamic forces and heat transfer. The presence
of surface imperfections, such as rivets, misalignment of surface panels, dirt
and insects can cause laminar-to-turbulent transition. The aim of this project
is to investigate this multi problem using direct numerical simulation (DNS)
and artificial intelligence (AI). During the project, the PhD candidate will
first generate a very large DNS database for different flow conditions and
roughness geometries, creating a first of its kind DNS database covering a
wide range of physical phenomena involved in laminar-to-turbulent boundary
layer transition. Then, the PhD candidate will leverage hybrid physics-
informed AI algorithms to develop correlations for modelling and predicting
transition over complex surface patterns from this database. |

PhD position Mechatronic Metamaterial for Dynamic Performance |
Monolithic mechatronics design will revolutionize the manufacturing industry
and open new avenues for automation. Suppression of unwanted vibrations in
these machines is vital to achieving high speeds and precision. Existing
suppression methods are incapable of meeting these demands.
This PhD position is part of Dutch NWO HTSM project aiming to tackle this
challenge. This project proposes to combine the two engineering disciplines of
mechatronics and metamaterials to create a mechatronic metamaterial (MetaMech)
structure for active vibration suppression. This MetaMech structure is
characterised by integrating a high number of small smart actuators in a
distributed manner into spatially architectured flexible structures (compliant
mechanisms). The goal of MetaMech is to overcome the mass limitation in
passive damping and force limitation in active damping by an optimized
distribution of active and passive material into a lattice metamaterial
structure; to enable broadband and/or varying mode suppression.
The focus of this PhD position will be on DESIGN part of active
metamaterial/metastructure for damping. It will be in collaboration with 4
high tech companies (ASML, Demcon, VDL and PI) and two other PhDs whose
focuses are on control and dynamics. |

Postdoctoral Researcher in Bilingualism |
Research at the Faculty of Humanities UvA is carried out by six research
schools under the aegis of the [Amsterdam Institute of Humanities
Research](http://aihr.uva.nl/). The [Amsterdam Center for Language and
Communication](https://aclc.uva.nl/), one of the six research schools,
currently has a vacant position for a post-doctoral researcher as part of the
NWO-funded project _A communicative advantage of bilingualism: Understanding
its origin and its scope_ led by [dr. Josje
Verhagen](https://www.uva.nl/profiel/v/e/j.verhagen/j.verhagen.html)
(University of Amsterdam). Applications are now invited from excellent
candidates who wish to conduct research on child bilingualism.
**What are you going to do**
The larger project that this post-doc project is embedded in further
investigates a poorly understood observation in earlier research on child
bilingualism. This observation holds that bilingual children make better use
of non-verbal communicative cues such as gestures and eye gaze of other
speakers during language interactions than monolingual children and are better
in taking into account what other speakers do (and do not) see and know. These
findings indicate that children respond more appropriately to other speakers’
communicative behaviors than their monolingual peers. What is still unknown,
however, is _why_ bilingual children are better communicators. Furthermore, it
is currently unknown if the advantage is found in linguistic interactions ‘in
the wild’ and whether it helps bilingual children learn a new language.
In this post-doc project, you will focus on the question of whether bilingual
children’s enhanced communication skills extend to more naturalistic language
than previously investigated. The project has two main aims. First, it asks
whether bilinguals’ enhanced communicative abilities can be observed for non-
literal language. In non-literal language, such as indirect requests, irony
and white lies, a message has to be inferred through contextual and non-verbal
cues (eye gaze, gesture, contextual cues) – thus, the type of information that
bilingual children have been shown to be more sensitive to. You will conduct
language experiments with monolingual and bilingual children to investigate
whether bilingual children develop an earlier understanding of non-literal
language, . The second aim of project is to see whether bilinguals’ enhanced
communicative abilities can be observed from real-life language interactions.
To investigate this, you will collect observational data from semi-spontaneous
play sessions in the lab and from dinner table conversations at children’s
homes. You will code these observations for a wide range of communicative
behaviors involving both verbal and non-verbal language. Besides conducting
experimental and observational studies, you will assist the PI and the project
manager in the project with valorization activities targeting parents in
bilingual families and professionals working with bilingual children (e.g.,
teachers at (bilingual) primary schools).
**Your tasks and responsibilities** :
* designing, adapting, and conducting language experiments with young children;
* processing, analysing, and interpreting results of these experiments, including statistical analyses;
* collecting observational data and coding these data for communicative behaviors;
* presenting research results at workshops and conferences;
* publishing articles in peer-reviewed journals;
* collaborating in a research team;
* assisting with the organization of valorization activities;
* teaching in BA programmes (optional);
* PhD co-supervision. |

Postdoc position 'the social side of wildfires' |
_Do you have a genuine interest in understanding processes underlying
landscape fires and resilience? And in further developing integrated fire
management based on social, cultural and landscape values? Do you have a
background in social sciences and are you up for an interdisciplinary
challenge, partly organized by yourself, looking and learning beyond your own
field and assumptions? Then we are looking for you!_
Extreme wildfire events are becoming a major environmental, economic and
social threat in Southern Europe and increasingly gaining importance elsewhere
in Europe. As the limits of fire suppression-centred strategies become
evident, practitioners, researchers and policymakers increasingly recognise
the need to develop novel approaches that shift emphasis to the root causes
and impacts of extreme fires, moving towards living with fire. Such an
approach includes community awareness, communication and learning across
national and disciplinary boundaries. For the EU GreenDeal project FIRE-RES,
we seek an experienced researcher that can contribute to this
transdisciplinary, multi-actor consortium formed by researchers, fire
agencies, technological companies, industry and civil society from 13
countries, linking to broader networks in science and disaster risk reduction
management. Within this project, Wageningen University leads the Germany-
Netherlands Living Lab, a collaboration with various public stakeholders in
both countries and with the German Waldbrandteam volunteer landscape fire
crew.
As successful applicant you will contribute to research and also develop tools
and recommendations for practitioners and policy-makers working on landscape
fires. You will specifically 1) study and advise on changing awareness towards
wildfires in communities, especially in relation to risk; 2) study and advise
on the role of communication and governance processes, focussing specifically
on trust and risk; and 3) lead the German-Netherlands Living Lab, organizing
and facilitating trainings and workshops between fire managers, landscape
managers, policy makers, fire services and scientists.

PhD Livelihoods and transactional sex in Humanitarian Crises’ in Colombia,
Pakistan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) |
Starting in 2021, Dorothea Hilhorst, professor of humanitarian studies of ISS,
jointly with ISS faculty [Karin Astrid
Siegmann](https://www.iss.nl/en/people/karin-astrid-siegmann) and [Silke
Heumann](https://www.iss.nl/en/people/silke-heumann) will start a 4 year
programme, financed by a grant of the Dutch Research Council (NWO), to
implement the research project ‘ListenH: Livelihoods and transactional sex in
Humanitarian Crises’. Many people survive humanitarian crises through
transactional sex – the exchange of sex for cash, goods or services. The
project seeks to understand why and how people engage in this practice and
what consequences this has. It will also consider what biases exist in
humanitarian services and protection policies, and how these can be addressed.
As part of this research project, **ISS is looking for a PhD candidate.**
**The position**
_What do we offer to inspire you?_
This position offers an exciting opportunity to learn, hone research skills,
coordination and communication skills and interact with research teams across
cultures, contexts, and continents. The ListenH project addresses largely
ignored questions around the role of transactional sex as a livelihood
strategy.
Transactional sex – the exchange of sex for cash, goods, services,
commodities, or privileges - is widely prevalent in contexts of conflict and
disaster, and takes a variety of forms, from the voluntary to the implicitly
coercive, and from sex work to ‘sugar dating’ relations or occasional
transactions. Transactional sex can help people survive or improve their
situation but is also a precarious and risky strategy shaped by unequal power
relations. The understanding of transactional sex in contexts of humanitarian
crisis is hampered by biases and taboos that may (re)produce or even aggravate
structural violence against the people involved.
Employing a large research network, the research will be grounded in country-
based studies in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia and Pakistan. It
will answer the following questions:
* What are the motivations for, practices, and consequences of transactional sex in humanitarian crises situations based on the perspectives of people engaging in it?
* How do these relate (or not) to views and assumptions embedded in humanitarian and policy responses to transactional sex in crisis situations?
* How can the needs and problems of people engaged in transactional sex be more effectively addressed?
Considering the complexities of the contexts, the subject, including
prevailing misconceptions, and the high diversity of possible research
participants, the project is methodologically challenging. The research will
use mixed methods, and build as much as possible on participation, in
particular, through an adaptation of the Participatory Ethnographic Evaluation
and Research (PEER) approach. This way, the project offers a rich learning
space for the PhD candidate to evolve and reflect on methodological issues and
to document the research process.
In addressing the questions above, the project will yield cross-disciplinary
impact. Societal impact will be achieved through networked interaction around
health, livelihoods, social and humanitarian policies in the case study
countries and globally. The ListenH research project is looking for a **PhD
candidate** with a focus on the potential for innovative participatory
research within the challenging context of humanitarian crises. |

CITIZENS-LAW
The position is part of the NWO project CITIZENS-LAW. Towards a New Approach
to Strengthen the Rule of Law in Europe: Incorporating EU Citizens’
Perceptions of Law.
Against the background of the current EU rule of law crisis, the project
CITIZENS-LAW
uses empirical-legal research to study citizens’ perceptions of law in three
countries: the Netherlands, Denmark and Hungary. The results will be
translated into a new governance toolkit to strengthen the rule of law in
Europe.
Prof. Marc Hertogh: "If we want the rule of law to really matter, then we need
to look at the social foundations of the rule of law in addition to the legal
foundations. Do people know the law, do they recognize the law as legitimate
and do they use the law? Although much research has been conducted into the
legal aspects, the social foundations of the rule of law are still largely a
'black box’.”
Case study in the Netherlands
The post-doctoral researcher will conduct the case study in the Netherlands
(using focus groups, semi-structured interviews, social media analysis and
survey research). You will collaborate closely with the project leader (prof.
Hertogh) and the two other postdoctoral researchers in Denmark and Hungary.
You will also be actively involved in the organisation of the project. You
will become a member of the Groningen Centre for Empirical Legal Research

**Visualization of physiological and pathological activation of neural
networks related to memory transfer from temporary to permanent stores in the
brain**
This project aims at visualizing the hippocampal—the cortical network that
normally activates during sleep—at the hippocampal ripple and theta
oscillations and how it is affected by epileptic hippocampal spikes. This is
done in mice by combining hippocampal electric recording and stimulation with
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and using the electric signal as
the trigger. Detection of fast events with fMRI involves the application of
novel zero-echo time pulse sequences with advanced image reconstruction,
making the project truly multidisciplinary. The project can result in a
scientific breakthrough in basic memory research and provide innovations in
the area of new therapeutic targets and biomedical MRI applications that have
commercial potential as diagnostic tools for Alzheimer’s disease and other
memory disorders. The candidates can also suggest their own topic or modify
this topic in their motivation letter.
The selected ESR will work in the Neurobiology of Memory research group. The
goal of research group is to unveil mechanisms of long-term memory encoding at
the systems level and pathophysiological mechanisms that disrupt this ability
in the most important memory disorder, Alzheimer’s disease. To this end, we
employ multiple modern neuroscience techniques. As a disease model we use
transgenic mice carrying human APP and PSEN1 mutations combined with local
gene transfer with viral vector microinjection. We assess the function of
neural networks by multichannel electrophysiological recordings in freely
moving mice and rats and by functional MRI. This proposed project aims at
combining electrophysiological detection of single spike events in the
hippocampus with assessment of associated changes in brain-wide networks using
a novel fMRI approach |

Post-doctoral Researcher |
**Regulation of adrenal homeostasis by macrophages (ADREMAC)**
The Molecular Pathophysiology of Adrenal and Endocrine Tissues
([MOP@ET](mailto:MOP@ET)) team at the GReD institute (CNRS UMR 6293, INSERM
U1103, University Clermont Auvergne) is seeking a talented and highly
motivated post-doctoral research associate to elucidate the role of
macrophages in adrenal cortex differentiation and function.
The adrenal cortex is a major regulator of body homeostasis through secretion
of glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Deregulation of its endocrine
activity is associated with deregulation of glucose and lipid metabolism,
immunosuppression and hypertension. Proper control of endocrine activity
relies on differentiation of functional zones, constant renewal of the cortex
and clearance of dead cells. However how this is achieved is unclear. Beyond
their role in innate immunity, macrophages (Mφ) play key roles in tissue
patterning and stem cell homeostasis. Mφ are the most abundant immune cell
type in the adrenal cortex and are localized in areas of progenitor
recruitment, intense tissue remodelling and cell death. Using a combination of
elaborate genetic models and state of the art transcriptomic approaches,
ADREMAC will investigate the role of Mφ in coordinating adrenal cortex renewal
and differentiation, which are necessary for the maintenance of endocrine and
body homeostasis.
This project is part of an ANR grant coordinated by Dr Pierre VAL (iGReD), in
collaboration with Dr Marc Bajénoff (CIML, Marseille). Dr Val’s team has long-
standing experience in the field of mouse models of adrenal pathophysiology,
which is complemented by Dr Bajénoff’s expertise in the field of murine
stromal cell biology and Mφ biology. Dr Val’s group has long lasting
collaborations with international leader labs in the field of adrenal
physiology and disease in France (Pr Bertherat, Cochin), the USA (Dr Hammer,
Michigan; Dr Basham, Utah; Dr Stratakis, Bethesda) and Germany (Pr Fassnacht,
Würzburg). |

PhD Research Fellow in AI and Machine learning tools for UAV communications
with focus on wireless communications, navigation and emergency response |
A fixed-term 100% position is available at the University of Agder, [Faculty
of Engineering and Science](https://www.uia.no/en/about-uia/faculties/faculty-
of-engineering-and-science) as a PhD Research Fellow in ICT, affiliated to the
[Department of Information and Communication
Technology](https://www.uia.no/en/about-uia/faculties/faculty-of-engineering-
and-science/institutter2/department-of-information-and-communication-
technology), for a period of three years, or four years with 25% voluntary
teaching duties. The position is located, at the present, at Campus Grimstad.
The starting date is negotiable.
The successful applicant will become part of a team of 11 researchers working
on artificial intelligence, machine learning, wireless communications, and
control theory for autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This team spans
three departments and the [Center for Integrated Emergency Management
](https://ciem.uia.no/)of UiA, Delft University of Technology (The
Netherlands), the University of Vigo (Spain), and
[Gradiant](https://www.gradiant.org/) (Spain). This creates an
interdisciplinary and international collaboration environment designed to
leverage the full potential of its members. Upon satisfactory performance, the
student can perform research visits for a certain number of months to the
aforementioned institutions.
The position is remunerated according to the State Salary Scale, salary plan
17.515, code 1017 PhD Research Fellow, NOK 482 200 gross salary per year. A
compulsory pension contribution to the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund
is deducted from the pay according to current statutory provisions.
The successful applicant will conduct research in the project Ubiquitous
Connectivity via Autonomous Airborne Networks (AirBonnet). This project
comprises a set of key developments intended to develop the technology of
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) such as zeppelins, balloons, and multicopters
that autonomously navigate through the airspace to provide data connectivity
in those locations where it is absent or unsatisfactory.
While households in developed countries receive skyrocketing data rates
through optical fibers and smartphones step into the 5G era, roughly one half
of the world’s population cannot connect to the internet. Even beyond
developing economies, bringing data connectivity to areas where it cannot
currently reach would drastically benefit applications such as the internet-
of-things, smart agriculture/forestry, wildfire suppression, search-and-rescue
missions, paramedical interventions, and emergency response handling to name a
few.
To this end, the UAVs in the targeted technology are equipped with a
communication module that connects to the ground users on one side and to the
cellular terrestrial infrastructure on the other side. The user information
may even be relayed through multiple UAVs before reaching its destination. For
this technology to be viable, the UAVs must be able to navigate without human
supervision to locations with favorable propagation conditions, that is, where
the signals that they receive from and transmit to the ground users and
cellular infrastructure are not significantly blocked by obstacles such as
buildings or mountains.
The key approach in this project is to construct "radio maps" that describe
the propagation conditions in a certain region. Using these maps, the UAVs
rely on artificial intelligence algorithms to determine the appropriate
locations and can even adapt to changes in the user positions and connectivity
requirements as well as to coordinate with other UAVs. Our preliminary
findings already showcase the ability of artificial deep neural networks to
construct radio maps from a small number of measurements collected by the
UAVs.
This position involves theoretical research, computer simulation, and
measurement collection. Our vision is that learning is maximized by combining
theory and practice in the right proportion.
A prerequisite for employment is that the candidate must be admitted to UiA’s
[PhD program of the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Specialisation in
Information and Comunication Technology](https://www.uia.no/en/studies2/phd-
programmes/specialisation-in-information-and-communication-technology-ict).
The goal of the PhD program is to train students to become independent
researchers. This means that students need to complete a coursework component
of 30 ECTS intended to provide the necessary background for conducting
research in their area. Additional self-study will also be required to fill
possible background gaps or specialized knowledge requirements.
A close advising model is generally pursued at the beginning, whereas more
independence is gradually granted to the student as she/he becomes more
mature. Ideally, the student must be able to conduct research independently
after graduation.
Part of the objectives of any PhD program is to develop the student’s
communication skills, both oral and written. This is an indispensable
requirement for conducting high-quality research nowadays. The PhD program and
advising style will intensively promote and assist students in the development
of these skills.
The selected applicant will be required to abide by the principles of our
group, which state that our research must adhere to top ethical and quality
standards, must be rigorous, and must contribute to the advancement of the
state of the art. For this reason, we do not publish in low-end journals and
conferences or work on problems with limited practical relevance.

Call for a Postdoc Position at the intersection of Software Engineering and
Blockchain Technologies at Simula Research Laboratory |
Simula Research Laboratory has a 2-year Postdoc position available in the
field of testing and verification for blockchain technologies. The position is
associated with the project “SmartMed: Secure and accountable sharing of
medical records using smart contracts and blockchain”.
**Project description:**
Increasing amounts of health data are recorded in health registries, with the
strategic initiatives of data sharing and fusion across different registries
in Norway. This forms an excellent opportunity for world-class medical
research as few countries have such a high-quality infrastructure. However, it
also constitutes a very high privacy risk should a security breach occur.
Our principal approach is to facilitate solutions for health registries by
using Smart Contracts and the emerging Blockchain Paradigm. From the data
safety, authenticity, and nonrepudiation standpoint, blockchain is a perfect
fit for sharing medical records since it provides an easily accessible,
immutable, and transparent history of all contract-related data, adequate for
building applications with trust and accountability. Use of smart contracts
brings a number of additional advantages for sharing medical data by
healthcare registries: consent management, fine-grain privacy control,
transparency, and reduced bureaucracy and expenses. However, to leverage the
full potential of blockchain, we need to ensure the high quality of
blockchain-based applications, by means of testing and verification.
_We are looking for a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher who is
interested in the testing and verification of blockchain-based solutions
developed to address the challenges mentioned above._
Research will be done in close collaboration with the Networks and Distributed
Systems group at the University of Oslo and the Cancer Registry of Norway.
**Research environment** :
_Simula Research Laboratory AS_ is a publicly owned research institute located
at Fornebu (Oslo), Norway. Simula has a multi-cultural organization, employing
about 190 individuals from 35 countries, who conduct research in the fields of

graduate students, industry collaboration, technology transfer, and
commercialization. Since 2001, scientific evaluations conducted by the
Research Council of Norway has repeatedly placed Simula at the forefront of
international research in ICT. The most recent in-depth evaluation was
recently published, grading all research groups at Simula as excellent. Simula
is an exciting workplace, offering an inclusive working environment, many
opportunities for social and sport activities, and benefits, such as temporary
housing for new employees from abroad, Norwegian language courses, etc.
_The University of Oslo_ is the Norway's largest and oldest institution of
higher education. Founded in 1811, today the University of Oslo has approx.
30,000 students and 4,600 employees. The Networks and Distributed Systems
group is well equipped with the newest hardware and software technology. The
group has well established links to national and international research
institutions, including Cornell University, which is one of leading research
centers in the world in the area of blockchain.
_The Cancer Registry of Norway (CRN)_ will validate technological advances
developed in the project. CRN presently contains health information on over
1,4 million cancer patients. Managing and using the data for medical research
in a secure way as to minimize any privacy concerns is paramount. Improving
privacy control and transparency will bolster public's trust in the use of CRN
data for vital research on preventive medicine.

Three PhD researchers (m/f/d) for the ERC research group IberLAND |
The [Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal
Theory](https://www.lhlt.mpg.de/en) in Frankfurt/Main is a world leader in
fundamental research on law. Its three research departments with more than 60
scholars, the unrivalled collections of its specialized library, and its
numerous national and international co-operations make it the central research
hub for a global scientific community investigating the past, present, and
future of legal regimes.
We are looking to recruit from March 2022 onwards,
**Three PhD researchers (m/f/d)**
for the ERC research group IberLAND
“Beyond Property. Law and Land in the Iberian World (1510-1850)”
directed by Dr. Manuel Bastias Saavedra, with a case study compatible with the
following focus:
**(1) Goa (and Old Conquests), 1510-1630**
**(2) New Spain, 1520-1630**
**(3) Cape Verde, 1600-1730**
IberLAND explores the history of land tenure in a long-term and global
perspective by focusing on the territories of the former Portuguese and
Spanish empires in what has recently been labelled the Iberian world. The
Iberian crowns of Portugal and Castile, beginning in the 15th century,
connected diverse peoples and communities across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the
Americas. In doing so, they for the first time transformed the questions of
how to own and how to use land into an issue of global dimensions. While this
age of discovery and colonialism has often been regarded as the first phase of
the transplantation of European concepts of property from Europe to the non-
European world, IberLAND seeks to disrupt this narrative by looking at the
history of land tenure not as a process of diffusion from Europe to the world,
but as a process of decentred legal innovation. To do this, the project will
move beyond the idea of property and focus on land relations to understand the
sets of social relations established between people and land. This conceptual
approach provides a way of observing how law was produced at the local level
through the combination of practice and doctrine. To connect legal doctrines
to local practices, the project’s analysis will focus on different sets of
institutions that structured land relations in different places in the Iberian
world. This conceptual and analytical framework will be applied to six case
studies focusing on New Spain, Goa, Cape Verde, Spain, Brazil and the
Philippines, enabling us to overcome the diffusionist mindset that has
pervaded the study of law and empire. |

Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to generate
and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens,
in order to better understand, explain and advance society and environment we
live in.
The joint team of Prof. Henderik Proper (adjunct professor at UL and
affiliated with LIST) and Prof. Pierre Kelsen, in the Department of Computer
Science (DCS) of the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM), is
currently looking for a: **Doctoral researcher (PhD candidate) in Computer

With the increasing use of knowledge-intensive computing technologies in all
domains of our digital intelligent society, such as healthcare, education,
logistics, and transportation, also comes an increase in the need to capture
relevant domain knowledge by means of domain models.
In the face of such an increase in demand, a matching increase in supply
becomes necessary. This actually causes a ``modeling bottleneck'' in the sense
that there is growing lack of modeling skills. One of the solutions to the
general shortage of (domain) modeling skills is to empower people without
modeling background to produce higher quality domain models with the
assistance of artificial intelligence (AI), so that everyone can be a domain
modeler!
The goal of this PhD project is therefore the development of a theoretical
framework for AI assisted domain modeling, its instantiation and evaluation in
terms of a prototype of an assisted domain modeling environment and
application to case scenarios.

Scientific employee (m/w/d, full time) on “Numerical simulation of icing of
helicopter rotor blades“ |
Background
Icing of helicopter rotor blades poses a real safety threat to helicopters and
humans. The dimensioning of ice protection systems, which mitigate this risk,
is currently based on numerical prediction of ice accretion on the blade. The
conditions on a rotating blade differ here significantly from those of icing
on large transport aircraft. Current simulation strategies were mainly
developed for the latter, leading to erroneous predictions in the field of
helicopter rotor blades. Thus, in order to enable the development of more
efficient ice protection systems, there is a strong need for research on the
icing simulation of rotating systems.
Task description
Within a large research consortium TU Braunschweig performs research on the
technologies of future highly efficient helicopters. We use numerical
simulations tools with the goal of studying the physical models of ice
accretion on the rotor blade. In the project at the Institute of Fluid
Mechanics you will expand a numerical simulation software for prediction of
the three-dimensional ice accumulation in rotating systems and validate the
tool with experimental data from a project partner. Additionally, the expanded
simulation methodology will enable you to do a detailed study on the
sensitivities of the influence of the various implemented models and the
according boundary conditions.
The PhD post should start at 01. January 2022. It is initially limited to a
period of three years. A subsequent employment for completing the PhD studies
is possible. Depending on fulfillment of personal requirements, the
remuneration is based on the salary level TV-L E 13. International applicants
will need to successfully complete a visa process before hiring can take
place. The post is eligible for part-time.
We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin, disability status, or
any other characteristic protected by German law. For the purpose of carrying
out the application process, personal data will be stored.
Application documents:
Your application documents in German or English language are available as one
combined pdf document consisting of a cover letter (including your
motivation), a CV, your academic performance record (your grades during your
Bachelor and Master studies including grading scale details), a proof of your
language proficiency and a copy of your Master's thesis or comparable student

PhD position (M/F) - Insight into quantum spintronic energy harvesters using
operando electron spin resonance |
The Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Materials of Strasbourg is a CNRS-
University of Strasbourg multidisciplinary research unit located on the
Strasbourg-Cronenbourg campus. The laboratory counts around 240 members and is
organized into 5 research departments.
The PhD (M/F) will join the Spintronics team, within the Department of
Magnetic Objects on the NanoScale (DMONS). The interactions between
experimentalists (13 researchers) and theoreticians (9 researchers) are highly
developped.
The thesis work will be supported by QMAT funds.
A number of initiatives aim to harvest energy from our environment. These
energy sources can be naturally occurring (e.g. solar irradiation) or
artificially occurring (e.g. wifi/GSM emissions). Model systems at very low
temperature can reveal how thermal fluctuations can drive the operation of
quantum heat and information engines [1]. To enable practical applications,
our team is designing these engines using spintronics [2], a green electronics
that utilize the electron's quantum spin property
([www.spinengine.tech](http://www.spinengine.tech)).
In a spintronic engine (panel a, red is spin ↓, blue is spin ↑), the energy-
split spin states of paramagnetic centers are stochastically occupied by
thermal fluctuations (purple arrow,kBT>) that can be magnetically coupled (J).
Charge transfer between these states and each fully spin-polarized electrode
('spinterface') thus takes place at different energy levels. These spintronic
operations convey quantum resources to the engine, thus enabling its
efficiency to surpass that of a classical engine [3].This results in a
spontaneous bias voltage/output electrical power, e.g. a current flow against
the applied bias voltage (panel b,from Ref. [4]). By changing the relative
orientation of the magnetic electrodes (in panel b with a magnetic field), the
spintronic engine also switches the flow and direction of current.
We recently reported [5] (CNRS News, Unistra News) on a spintronic engine with
C atoms acting as the PM centers in the MgO barrier, and using the Co site of
Co phthalocyanine molecules as the PM center [4] with up to ~100x more power
output at RT. To better understand the role of spin fluctuations in the
engine's operation, we propose to drive them using microwaves. The PhD
candidate, based in Strasbourg, will grow CoPc-based heterostructures,
synthesize nanopillar [6] devices and measure their energy generation
properties, followed by campaigns of operando microwave experiments in
Stuttgart.

Doctoral student in Public International Law, spec. in Global Health Law |
The Faculty of Law is offering one doctoral student position for a Doctor of
Laws Degree within public international law. The doctoral student position is
financed by the Faculty of Law to conduct research in the area of global
health law. Intended supervisor is professor Jessica Almqvist.
**Subject description**
Global health law encompasses the legal norms, legal processes and legal
institutions aimed at creating the conditions for the world’s population to
attain the highest standard of physical and mental health. Situated primarily
in the domain of public international law, global health law regulates the
conduct and interactions of states and international organizations. In
responding to new health risks and threats, however, it has gone beyond
traditional confines of public international law to include codes of practice
and similar normative frameworks for non-state actors, such as healthcare
professionals, scientific communities, businesses, etc.
The subject deals with issues related to biomedicine, including new gene
technology (CRISPR-Cas9), human reproduction, organ transplantation,
prevention and control of infectious and noncommunicable diseases, control of
addictive and harmful substances, food and pharmaceuticals in international
trade, access to essential medicines, among others. Many areas in the field of
global health law concern the protection of human rights, including the right
to life, the best attainable health, the right to integrity, and the right to
science. Other relevant rights include the right to information and the right
to participate in decision processes on health-related matters. Basic human
rights principles of human dignity, equality and non-discrimination are
central to global health law and the protection of vulnerable groups (e.g.
children, migrants and the elderly) is a primary concern. Research on global
health law often adopts an interdisciplinary approach, which can include
fields such as digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI), and bioethics.
The global health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic reveals the
importance of discussing the possibilities and limits to global health law for
tackling and preventing such crises while safeguarding human rights.

Doctoral student in legal science, specialising in health law |
The Faculty of Law is offering one doctoral student position for a Doctor of
Laws Degree in legal science.
Research within the doctoral education is conducted in one of the following
subjects: jurisprudence, labour law, banking law, private law, EU law, fiscal
law, public international law, administrative law, international environmental
law, private international law, comparative law, constitutional law,
environmental law, human rights, public law, civil and criminal procedure, law
and economics, legal history, social and welfare law, and criminal law.
The doctoral student position is funded by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous
Systems and Software Program on Humanities and Society (WASP-HS) and
integrated into the research project: AICARE - AI and Automated systems and
the Right to Health - Revisiting law accounting for the exploitation of users
preferences and values. The selected candidate will be both integrated in the
WASP-HS graduate school and participate in the activities of the Health Law
Research Centre and/or the Commercial Law Centre (ACLU), at the Faculty of
Law. One of the intended supervisors is associate senior lecturer Ana
Nordberg.
The Doctoral position is part of the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and
Software Program on Humanities and Society (WASP-HS) and aims to realize
excellent research and develop competence on the consequences and challenges
of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems for humanity and society.
This 10-year program is initiated and generously funded by the Marianne and
Marcus Wallenberg Foundation (MMW) with 660 million SEK. In addition to this,
the program receives support from collaborating industry and from
participating universities. Major goals are more than 10 new faculty positions
and more than 70 new PhDs. For more information about the research and other
activities conducted within WASP-HS please visit [http://wasp-
hs.org/](https://wasp-hs.org/).
The WASP-HS graduate school provides foundations, perspectives, and state-of-
the-art knowledge in the different disciplines taught by leading researchers
in the field. Through an ambitious program with research visits, partner
universities, and visiting lecturers, the graduate school actively supports
forming a strong multi-disciplinary and international professional network
between PhD students, researchers and practitioners in the field. It thus
provides added value on top of the existing PhD programs at the partner
universities, providing unique opportunities for students who are dedicated to
achieving international research excellence with societal relevance.
Throughout the tenure of the doctoral position, the doctoral student will also
be embedded in the national WASP-HS graduate school. The WASP-HS graduate
school addresses challenges and consequences of autonomous systems and AI in
society, and provides integrated training in philosophy, social science,
policy research, organisational science, psychology, and other humanities and
social science disciplines, together with a sound knowledge of the technical
aspects of AI, software and autonomous systems. The graduate school takes a
cohort-based approach bringing together students from a wide variety of
backgrounds in interdisciplinary teams to address real problems taking account
of the individual, societal, and ethical implications.
The school aims to achieve an active community of researchers across Sweden
through courses, joint study trips and summer- and winter seminars. Doctoral
students in the WASP-HS program are expected to work together with researchers
on the WASP-AI and WASP-AS programs.
The Doctoral student will be part of the WASP-HS Graduate School, joining
interdisciplinary doctoral students across Sweden in the 2nd cohort Graduate
School program, starting in February 2022 and is required to take part in all
the GS activities and follow a minimum of four WASP-HS graduate school
courses.
The doctoral project will focus on investigating how the introduction of AI in
healthcare and automated systems challenges the existing legal and ethical
norms that regulate health care and health related activities, services and
products. Its main aim is to address how current norms could and/or should be
improved, either through revision or reinterpretation, or complemented by new
measures in a manner that will safeguard the attainability of the highest
possible standard of health. The doctoral project main focus is AI for
personalised medicine and will produce legal analysis on both legal and
regulatory approaches to technology governance and policy and the right to
health.
Being part of a large research project, the doctoral project is expected to
contribute to the AICARE project aims and research questions. These focus on
each of the four essential elements of the right to health - how are these
impacted by the introduction of AI in healthcare and what strategies will
allow to overcome eventual barriers – and address general regulatory aspects
on how to enhance or complement existing legal mechanisms and governance
structures in order to provide propitious conditions to the implementation of
AI in healthcare.
The doctoral project should analyse and interconnect different areas of law
and regulation relevant to the implementation of AI in healthcare from the
perspective of advancing personalised/precision medicine. While focusing
mainly on quality of healthcare, and as such is located at the intersection
between Health Law and Commercial Law, it may encompass analysis pertaining to
for example: constitutional law and human rights law; data protection and
personal integrity law; incentives to innovation, intellectual property, trade
secrets law; contract law, data ownership and regulation; consumer protection,
liability rules, regulatory frameworks and governance models for medical
devices and products. It should also include ethical, economic and/or other
societal perspectives.
Thus, possible research areas include, but are not limited to:
\- Data protection and ethical issues raised by genetic sequencing from both
the perspective of patients and public health
\- Clinical trials, certification and marketing approval of AI healthcare
solutions for PM
\- The role and governance models for intellectual property and trade secrets
enforcement
\- Liability mechanism’s role in the protection of patient integrity.

Machine Learning Acceleration on Heterogeneous Platforms |
Advances in the fields of biomedical sensors, wearables and medical implants,
in combination with state-of-the-art algorithms from signal processing,
machine learning and artificial intelligence, are transforming the healthcare
landscape. Systems built around these technologies enable remote health
monitoring, improve patient care, detect life-threatening conditions or even
predict health events. Yet the full integration of such technologies into
embedded/edge platforms poses several challenges: edge platforms are by nature
resource-constrained and power/energy-limited, while data processing
algorithms are computational and memory demanding. Managing this trade-off
demands research on efficient implementation methods tailored to the system
requirements.
In this context, the proposed PhD vacancy aims to investigate and develop
digital architectures that support local data processing at edge nodes. The
idea is to leverage on modern heterogeneous platforms which combine embedded
processor cores (software) with reconfigurable FPGA logic (hardware). The
flexibility of such platforms offers better support for evolving algorithms,
reduced numerical precision or custom scheduling techniques, necessary to
tailor the implementation to the system requirements. As part of the work, the
candidate will explore modern trends in FPGA technologies which facilitate the
flow for implementing complex machine learning frameworks by working at higher
abstraction levels. |

Postdoctoral Position at Kiel University - Infection Oncology |
**Postdoctoral Position at Kiel University - Laboratory of Infection
Oncology**
The role of chronic bacterial infections in human carcinogenesis has recently
become a focus of front-line research in molecular biology and biomedicine.
One of the key questions relates to causality and the mechanistic basis of
such infections in human cancer. The postdoc candidate will participate in
either of our laboratory's two pioneering research projects: (1) The
intriguing features of pre-neoplastic cancer-driving mutations in anti-
microbial defense – as seen in gastric intestinal metaplasia in response to
chronic H. pylori infections. (2) The identification of characteristic genetic
signatures of carcinogenic bacteria as a means to define the origin of
distinct human cancers – as evidenced for the colibactin signature in human
colon cancer.
The group of Thomas F. Meyer (previously at the Max Planck Institute of
Infection Biology, Berlin) has established a new laboratory for Infection
Oncology at the University of Kiel based on the successful competition for an
ERC Advanced Grant. The laboratory is embedded within a network of several
institutions and consortia, notably the Institute of Clinical Molecular
Medicine (IKMB) and the Cluster of Excellence for Precision Medicine in
Chronic Inflammation (PMI).
Our strong publication record, recently and over the past years, provides
evidence for a fruitful and supportive research environment.
**Condition to apply:**
* External fellowship funding, at least for the first two years, is mandatory. Hence, the accepted postdoc candidate is expected to apply to the MSCA postdoctoral fellowship with our full support. Chances of success are high for those who published well in recent years.
* This position is only open to non-German individuals who carried less than a year of work in Germany in the last 3 years.
* You should have already obtained your PhD degree or defended your doctoral thesis, but not longer than 8 years ago.
The fellowship will be available for the duration of two years with an option
of prolongation. Please send an initial letter of interest, CV, and letters of
reference to our scientific coordinator - Dr. Kfir Lapid,
[k.lapid(at)ikmb.uni-kiel.de](mailto:k.lapid@ikmb.uni-
kiel.de?subject=Application%20to%20a%20postdoc%20position) by August 31, 2021.

PI – Marta Olszewska, PhD
Project title: ‘Cytogenetic and molecular analyses of positioning of human
sperm chromosomes, including: sperm chromatin integrity, epigenetic marks,
karyotyping and sperm fractioning’
7\. Concise description of research:
The infertility is a social disease concerning about 10-18% of couples. It
became clear that numerous factors, that can be reciprocally related between
each other and which disturbances are being observed in males with
reproductive failures, pays attention to the complexity of the problem. Beside
of a variety of known molecular and environmental factors, such as: genetic
mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, bad habits, work in heavy/toxic
conditions, also the light should be shed on so-called epigenetic factors,
which are in some kind a make-up for genetics. Among them, the methylation of
sperm DNA, and methylation/acetylation of the sperm histones seems to play
crucial role in proper embryo development. Another epigenetic factor is the
positioning of chromosomes within sperm nucleus, what means the defined
localization of particular chromosomes. Spermatozoa characterizes unique
nuclear packaging of the chromatin; thus, the chromosomes’ positions are also
specific. It is known that in men with various disturbances of fertility, the
nuclear organization is changed. Disturbances in those epigenetic elements are
connected to male infertility. There are evidences that epigenetic changes are
prone both to: genetics, as well as for environmental factors. The main
purpose of the Project is to determine how the positions of the chromosomes
within human sperm nucleus may be altered depending on: the state of
fertility, karyotype, chromatin integrity status, epigenetic variations within
DNA or histones, and between male members of the same family, incl. various
fractions of sperm cells, according to their quality.
Keywords:
male infertility, chromosomal translocations, spermatozoa, sperm epigenetics,
sperm chromosomes and chromatin, spermatogenesis, nuclear order of the cell

([https://lcl.uni.lu](https://lcl.uni.lu/)) which is part of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) Supply Chain And Logistics Excellence (SCALE)
network (). The LCL is a hub for logistics and supply
chain research and education and seeks to make an impact both in practice and
in the academic community.
##### Your Role...
The research conducted by the postdoctoral researcher will be in the domain of
**air cargo**. Air cargo operations have received great attention during the
pandemic. Air cargo has always been characterized by very high daily flight
hours in comparison to passenger operations. The superior equipment
utilization comes with the downside of the requirement of well scheduled,
punctual operations to avoid propagating delays. Schedule recovery may take
place by accelerating or modifying turnaround operations – which requires an
accurate prediction of turnaround time requirements before aircraft arrival to
a station. The project’s objective is, thus, to develop a tool for predicting
air cargo turnaround times.
The industry partner provides real data and domain knowledge. The postdoctoral
researcher works on developing suitable prediction that will be implemented by
the industry partner in its IT systems. The successful candidate will
therefore work closely both with researchers at the LCL and selected experts
at the partner company. Some of the worktime is foreseen to be conducted at
the industry partner’s premises.
The postdoctoral researcher will be working under the supervision of Professor
Anne Lange. In particular, the postdoctoral researcher will
* Conduct research in forecasting and machine learning in an air cargo context;
* Analyze and interpret industry data;
* Develop multiple forecasting / prediction models and assess them for applicability;
* Work with the industry partner to translate research results to actual implementation;
* Publish articles in leading scientific journals;
* Present research results at academic conferences and contribute to communicating project outcomes to industry and interested public.
For more information concerning this position, please contact Prof. Anne
Lange, e-mail: [anne.lange@uni.lu](mailto:anne.lange@uni.lu)
##### Qualifications...
We are looking for a candidate with a PhD in Logistics / Operations Management
/ Industrial Engineering / Supply Chain Management or a related field,
preferably with a specialization in machine learning or forecasting.
In particular, the following requirements apply:
* Strong interest in solving real-life challenges by translating solid, rigorous research to actionable industry guidance;
* Proven ability to autonomously conduct research;
* Experience in data analysis, including coding in R or Python/Pandas;
* Experience in forecasting / econometrics projects with industry data;
* Domain knowledge in air cargo and aviation is an asset;
* Ability to communicate with academic and industrial stakeholders and align interests;

* Have the linguistic skills to evolve in a multilingual environment: fluency in English, good understanding of a second language, French or German in particular, will be considered an advantage;
* Excellent communication and writing skills.
##### In Short...
* Contract Type: Fixed Term Contract 24 Month
* Work Hours: Full Time 40.0 Hours per Week
* Project start: February 1, 2022
* Location: Kirchberg
* Job Reference: UOL04378

* Competence in academic writing.
* English language (C1 or higher).
* Autonomy, reliability, and ability to work in close team collaboration.
Other competencies of interest to the project:
* Historical languages (Latin, Middle English...).
* Distributional semantics, stylometry.
* Experience with repositories of digital texts.
* Data standards and interoperability (e.g., RDF, linked data).
* Version control (e.g., GitHub, GitLab...).
We do not expect candidates to possess all of these “other competencies of
interest”, and recognise there may be other skills beyond this list that could
enhance DISSINET’s research profile.
We offer:
* Freedom to pursue your intellectual interests and to work creatively across disciplines in an exciting frontier-research project.
* Growth in interdisciplinary research.
* Competitive salary commensurate with an ERC-funded project.
* Individual research budget (ca. 4,000 € each year) in addition to regular salary.
* Participation in writing high-profile publications in digital humanities, computational social science, network analysis, and history.
* Friendly and informal working environment.
Responsibilities:
* Building a key research strand within DISSINET with a focus on the discursive patterns in medieval inquisitorial records.
* Leading the constitution of a corpus of medieval inquisitorial records.
* Supervising research assistants helping with the mark-up of OCR-ed texts.
* Co-authoring articles (incl. as lead author).
* Participating in the team’s discussions, meetings, tutorials, and other activities.
* Contributing to the project’s visibility (papers at conferences, publications, online outcomes, social media, etc.).
* Reading and excerpting literature.

offers the opportunity to expand and develop your career in the exciting
professional environment of Institut Curie promoted by an open culture and a
spirit of community. Institut Curie is one of the largest European
institutions for cancer and biomedical research with strong interdisciplinary

**Project**
The cGAS/STING pathway is critical for the detection of a large range of DNA
and RNA viruses as it initiates strong anti-viral responses. The pivotal role
of this innate sensing pathway is attested by the large diversity of
strategies that viruses have selected during evolution to impede this sensing
pathway. Every single step of the pathway is targeted by numerous viral
proteins to prevent its functioning.
While studying the role of a myeloid-specific protein in the context of HIV-
infected macrophages, we realized that it is endowed with the ability to
regulate the cGAS/STING pathway both at the steady state and when macrophages
are exposed to HIV-1 and -2. We hypothesize that this novel regulator is
important for the macrophage response during chronic viral infection by
maintaining optimal levels of cGAS, STING, and possibly other factors involved
in viral sensing.
The general objective of the project is to study in primary macrophages the
regulatory role of our new protein in the cGAS/STING pathway at the steady
state and during chronic infection like with HIV-1. The project also aims to
determine which other genes are subjected to this regulation and elucidate the
mechanism involved. Various cutting-edge technologies, currently mastered in
the lab, will be employed to achieve the project including RNAseq analyses,
gene editing of cell lines and of primary cells, confocal and electron
microscopies.
**Profile**
Qualification:
* PhD in Immunology/Virology or related fields, experience with primary cell cultures, cell lines, molecular biology, biochemical techniques, microscopy and Bioinformatic data analysis
* Basic knowledge in myeloid cells, virology or cell biology is not mandatory but will be highly appreciated
Desirable Knowledge, skills and abilities:

Bridges funding instrument [https://www.fnr.lu/funding-
instruments/](https://www.fnr.lu/funding-instruments/pride/)
**Research Framework...**
In order to deal with critical fuels that otherwise have to be disposed of,
co-firing of these fuels in existing combustion plants is an economic
alternative. However, these critical fuels distinguish themselves
significantly from the fuel the combustion technology was designed for and
therefore, may have a negative impact on operation. Rather than investing into
cost-intensive and time-consuming experimental campaigns, a multi-physics
digital twin in a high-performance computing environment allows exploring
various co-firing scenarios in a cost-effective manner. Combining multi-
physics i.e. motion and thermal conversion of solid fuels with a reacting gas
phase requires a smart partitioning technology. It is the key technology to
fast multi-physics digital twin simulation technology and paves the road to
innovative approaches for co-firing of critical fuels.

Post-Doctoral Researcher (0.5 FTE), Department of Media, Maynooth University |
Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary University
goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are
interlinked and equally valued.
This project adopts a Digital Curation approach to the research theme “Digital
Humanities and Cultural Heritage”. It is intended as an interdisciplinary
intervention in how film archives can take practical action to update, enhance
and improve catalogue metadata via feminist research methodologies, thus
revealing hidden heritage related to women’s creativity
The project starts from our understanding that women’s filmmaking labour has
been historically underrepresented and unacknowledged, in the world of film
archives as much as in other aspects of creative work and cultural heritage.
Our focus on amateur filmmaking as an alternative arena of creative production
highlights how this sphere has given voice to women’s creativity, interests,
and concerns for almost a century. Rarely a priority for cataloguing or
digitisation, there is limited metadata relating to the women filmmakers
involved, with records that tend to reduce or overlook women’s creative
labour, particularly in multiple-authored work. We argue that traditional
approaches to film archive catalogue metadata have worked to exclude this
creative work from broader digital cultural heritage initiatives in the UK and
Ireland.
Given those existing problems, our project addresses the following questions:
1. How can a feminist approach to film archival cataloguing expand and develop existing metadata standards adopted by film archives in the UK and Ireland?
2. How could an amended system offer better standards for creating new catalogue records - and the expansion of existing ones?
3. How can an interdisciplinary approach that draws from metadata analysis (digital humanities), original research materials (film studies), and feminism (gender studies) expand existing research on women’s amateur film history?
4. What aesthetic, cultural and historic comparisons become possible when sharing and contrasting research materials and catalogue metadata between UK and Irish collections?
5. How can historical research and data visualisation reveal and expand our knowledge of the networks established and maintained by amateur filmmakers, with particular focus on women’s voices within those networks?
6. How does a focus on women’s ‘amateur’ creative work reveal new perspectives on visual representations of the local, regional and national worlds they worked within?
As such, our project addresses a precise and important gap: how can archives
better capture and promote women’s creative labour through improved metadata
practices.
The project, lasting 24 months, runs from August 1st 2021 to July 31st 2023
and is funded by the UK-Ireland Collaboration in the Digital Humanities
Research Grant.
The successful candidate will assist in cataloguing tasks: including the
analysis of catalogue records for films produced by Irish amateur women
filmmakers; the provision of wider contextual information about and develop
knowledge on a selection of these filmmakers; through working with the project
team and Irish Film Archive, the creating 40 new catalogue records. The role
also entails contributing to the development of metadata practices that can
better represent women’s contributions to film history. The successful
candidate will be expected to undertake this by: identify gaps in existing
metadata and adding to/filling where possible; improving metadata standards
and schemas to be more inclusive of women amateur filmmakers. The successful
candidate will also work with the project team on the digitisation of records,
the dissemination of research and the visualisation of Irish women’s amateur
filmmaking metadata. |

MSc by research: Thin film plasmonic luminescent concentrators to enhance the
specific power of the existing photovoltaics technology arrays |
The low mass to power ratio, i.e. specific power (W/kg), and high costs per
Watt is mainly affected by the narrow spectral response of the current
photovoltaic (PV) technologies. This project is developing plasmonic enhanced
luminescent down-shifting (PLDS), a passive design strategy which increases
the PVs' spectral responsivity through the application of a semi-transparent,
fluorescent, polymer nanocomposite layer onto the PV cell. By exploiting
synergetic light-trapping mechanisms within the structure's design an increase
in the existing PVs performance could be obtained allowing additional cost and
weight savings.
Note: The present project will be funded initially for 18 months, but the
possibility of continuation (including towards a PhD degree) will depend on
further funding availability.
Student requirements for this project
Mandatory:
min. 2.1 BSc in Physics, Nanotechnology, Electronic Engineering, Chemical
Sciences or equivalent
Desirable: Previous experience in the following areas will be highly
appreciated:
-PV electrical and optical characterization (including using solar simulators)
-modelling of the PVs (e.g. in Python, PV Trace, AFORS-HET or equivalent)
-experience with spectroscopic methods (UV-VIS, fluorescence) and particle size analyser
-vacuum systems, thin films deposition, plasma physics
-polymer film deposition, down-shifting layers, luminescent concentrators

PhD position in yeast synthetic biology for the production of proteins with
unnatural amino acids in Pichia pastoris |
**PhD position**
**in yeast synthetic biology for the production of proteins with unnatural
amino acids in Pichia pastoris**
**in Vienna / Austria for 30 hours a week**
That’s the project
Unnatural amino acids contain side chains with extraordinary chemical and/or
structural properties that are unavailable from the standard amino acids. This
makes them particularly attractive as building blocks for synthetic proteins
and bioactive compounds. We intend to genetically encode unnatural amino acid
with a reactive side chain in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. This
yeast combines easy genetic manipulation and inexpensive growth media with the
ability to express and secrete into the medium recombinant proteins with
complex post-translational modifications. The project intends to advance this
exciting host organism to the next level of recombinant protein production. |

PhD Positions in the Wisnovsky Lab, UBC Pharmaceutical Sciences |
**Description**
The Wisnovsky Lab (Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at UBC) is inviting
applications for multiple open PhD positions starting Fall 2022. Earlier start
dates in 2022 (January or May) can also be accommodated if desired.
Prof. Wisnovsky's lab studies the cell surface glycome, a dense network of
sugar molecules that coats the surface of every living cell. The glycome plays
a fundamental role in regulating the activity of our immune system, helping
immune cells to distinguish normal, healthy cells from abnormal cells and
invading pathogens. In diseases like cancer, the structure of the cell-surface
glycome becomes profoundly altered, allowing tumour cells to escape immune
detection. Our group applies cutting-edge CRISPR genomic screening
technologies to better understand the complex genetic mechanisms that regulate
these changes in cellular glycosylation. The overarching goal of our research
is to identify druggable pathways that can be targeted to modulate the cell-
surface glycome, generating new therapeutic options for the treatment of
cancer and autoimmune disease. For more information about the group, please
consult wisnovskylab.ca.
Wisnovsky lab trainees can expect to receive advanced training in molecular
biology and immunology techniques as well in cutting-edge areas like high-
throughput functional genomics and next-generation sequencing. We aim to equip
trainees with the scientific, communication and leadership skills needed to
achieve all their goals.
**Facilities**
The Wisnovsky Lab is housed in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences
Building, a quarter-million-square-foot, state-of-the-art learning and
research facility in the heart of campus. Functional, striking and always
thrumming with activity, the building is home to cutting-edge equipment,
laboratories, and research spaces. Opened in 2012 the building has won
numerous awards for its sustainable construction.
**Funding**
Thesis-based PhD students in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences are
eligible to receive a stipend. The stipend package normally includes a
graduate teaching assistantship, a graduate research assistantship, and/or a
scholarship.
The minimum stipends for 2021-2022 academic year are:

Investigation of the orbital torque in metallic light elements and their
oxydes (H/F) |
This thesis will be realized in a scientific collaboration between UMPHY CNRS-
THALES and CEA-SPEC SACLAY (Dr. M. VIRET) within the University Paris Saclay.
Spintronics, a field born in 1988 with the discovery of the effect of Giant
Magneto-Resistance, is the domain of material science in which one takes
advantage of the spin of the electron rather than its charge, to create, store
and transfer the desired information. The advancement of spintronics and the
non-volatility of magnetic materials led to the realization of magnetic
sensors including HDD read heads, non-volatile memories and logic devices. In
“classical spintronics”, the generation of spin currents and the manipulation
of nanomagnets is obtained via the use of the exchange interactions between
the spin of the conduction electrons and the local magnetization or spins.
Since more than one decade, a novel direction of spintronics called spin-
orbitronics exploits the relativistic Spin-Orbit (SO) interactions and their
advantages to open fascinating new roads for basic research and new line of
technologies. However, spinorbitronics still presents some limitations,
notably in the possibility to generate spin current with a large efficiency.
In the race to identify novel degrees of freedom that could serve as an
information carrier, an appealing candidate has emerged recently, capable to
circumvent some of spintronics: the orbital angular momentum.
Along these new ideas, the present PhD project sets in the field of novel
phenomena manifesting themselves at active spintronic material and interfaces.
The PhD deals with the experimental demonstration of novel orbital effects as
Rashba spin-splitting and orbital torques generated at the interfaces between
ferro- or ferrimagnets (rare-earth) and light elements (Cu, Al, V, Cr,…) or
oxide (CuOx, MgO), phenomena which can have a large benefit for the
aforementioned spintronic functionalities. More particularly, we will focus on
the development of different series of metallic and/or oxide multilayered
structures integrating Cu/CuOx or Cu/AlOx or CoFeB/MgO interfaces grown by
available deposition techniques (sputtering, MBE, pulsed laser ablation) in
labs. We will investigate up-to-date physical phenomena as spin-charge
interconversion processes, spin-current injection by spin and orbital pumping,
spin-orbit torque (SOT) and pure orbital torques (OT), laser-pulsed induced
spin and orbital injection in order to benchmark the efficiency of the various
spintronic systems in real device situation.
A part of the investigation will also deal with the modelling of such effects
experimentally observed (in particular OT) within a tight-binding framework
combined with a semi-phenomenological approach to describe both spin and
orbital transport in multilayers. |

Doctoral student in chemical physics |
**Subject description**
This project is addressing our need for sustainable, environmentally friendly,
efficient, long-living, and scalable systems for solar energy harvesting and
storage. Energetic chemical reactions such as CO2 to methanol or N2 to ammonia
are an excellent way to store energy that potentially can even be employed in
a decentralized approach. Many useful reactions require multiple electrons to
proceed. Solving the challenge to create such catalytic systems that can be
activated with light is the vision of this project.
We study and optimise the dynamical processes that govern the activation and
catalytic activity at the reaction centers using time-resolved spectroscopic
methods. A focus of our group lays in the combination of optical spectroscopy
with steady-state and time-resolved x-ray spectroscopy. The element
selectivity of x-ray spectroscopy can isolate the dynamics in specific
regions/atoms of complex assemblies, and can e.g. in the case of the reaction
center offer a unique view on complex processes.
Our light activated reaction centers are part of a complex molecule
synthesized by our collaborators or of a nanostructure assemblies synthesized
at NanoLund ([www.nano.lu.se](http://www.nano.lu.se)), of which we are a part.
Based upon this knowledge we optimize charge generation, transfer and chemical
reactions with the aim to create novel environmentally friendly, efficient,
long-living, and scalable light-activated catalytic systems. __
**Work duties**
The candidate will be working towards understanding the charge transfer and
catalytic reactions at light-activated catalytic centers. The student will be
involved in planning and applying for, executing, and analyzing experiments at
synchrotrons, XFEL, and table-top facilities. A clear focus of this project is
the study of charge transfer processes with x-ray spectroscopic methods. Most
of our studies however combine x-ray spectroscopy with optical methods using
time-resolved laser spectroscopy. The candidate will be introduced to the wide
variety of spectroscopic methods and is after a suitable training period
(supported by suitable courses) expected to take responsibility for the
analysis of their measured data using appropriate tools and develop the
experimental results into high-quality publications. These efforts are
supported through a wide range of expertise in the group, connected
collaborators, or suitable courses where needed. In the group, the candidate
is expected to develop expertise in at least one of the employed methods
(chosen after knowledge, preferences, training and suitability).
Many of the initial experiments will be performed or at least prepared in-
house. Beyond that, the doctoral student is expected to participate in our
regular (typically 2-3 per year) measurement campaigns at the international
research facilities in support of the groups' efforts. The right candidate for
the job will be highly self-motivated, works well in teams, and is interested
in the subject.
The enrolment in one of the multiple connected graduate schools and/or
research centers the group is connected to does provide an additional support
structure and collaboration potential.
The main duties of doctoral students are to devote themselves to their
research studies which include participating in research projects and third
cycle courses. The work duties will also include teaching and other
departmental duties (no more than 20%). Teaching and departmental duties are
in addition to the research subject and do extend the study period. The amount
of these extra duties is highly dependent on the interest of the candidate and
is adjusted annually. ****
**Admission requirements**
A person meets the general admission requirements for third-cycle courses and
study programs if he or she:
* has been awarded a second-cycle qualification, or
* has satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second cycle, or
* has acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad.
A person meets the specific admission requirements for third-cycle studies in
Chemical Physics if he or she has:
* A minimum of 120 credits derived from natural science (for example chemistry or physics) and chemical and physical engineering courses, of which at least 30 credits from a second-cycle degree project (or equivalent) in chemical physics, physical chemistry, or related specialization.
* The specific admission requirements can also be fulfilled through another equivalent program, which is assessed in each specific case.
Additional requirements:
* Very good oral and written proficiency in English.
* Experience with some type of spectroscopy (optical or x-ray) or crystallography.
**Assessment criteria**
Selection for third-cycle studies is based on the student’s potential to
profit from such studies. The assessment of potential is made primarily on the
basis of academic results from the first and second cycles. Special attention
is paid to the following:
* Knowledge and skills relevant to the thesis project and the subject of study.
* An assessment of ability to work independently and formulate and tackle research problems.
* Written and oral communication skills
* Other experience relevant to the third-cycle studies, e.g. professional experience.
Other assessment criteria (meriting experiences, please state what and to what
extend in the application if applicable):
* Experience with time-resolved measurements.
* with a x-ray based technique and their data analysis.
* Experience in the usage of computational tools (MatLab, Python,...).
* Experience with electrochemistry.
Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive, and
independence, and how the applicant, through his or her experience and skills,
is deemed to have the abilities necessary for successfully completing the
third cycle program.
**Terms of employment
** Only those admitted to third-cycle studies may be appointed to a doctoral
studentship. Third cycle studies at LU consist of full-time studies for 4
years. A doctoral studentship is a fixed-term employment of a maximum of 5
years (including 20% departmental duties). Doctoral studentships are regulated
in the Higher Education Ordinance (1993:100), chapter 5, 1-7 §§.

Predoctoral Fellow / PhD Student |
The Dupré Group at LBI-RUD, the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Rare and
Undiagnosed Diseases in Vienna, seeks to fill the open position of a:
PREDOCTORAL FELLOW / PhD STUDENT
LBI-RUD, a young and innovative institute pursuing basic and translational
research on rare genetic diseases, is looking for a highly motivated candidate
to take part in an exciting project within the “Immune Cell Imaging” group of
Dr. Loïc Dupré.
The group focus
Our group focuses on deciphering how immune cells remodel their actin
cytoskeleton to migrate, interact with other cells, and execute their
function. Our long-term goal is to identify the molecular network that
sustains actin cytoskeleton dynamics upon the many steps of immune cell life
cycle. Using rare congenital immunodeficiencies as natural models of
cytoskeleton defects and combination of high-resolution and high-content
microscopy methods we attempt to characterize structural, morphological and
functional impairments in patient-derived primary cells. For further insight
into our current work, see the following publications:

PhD Project Description
The overall aim of the project is to decipher the tuning of CD8+ cytotoxic T
cell activation and function via the co-engagement of the T-cell receptor and
pro-adhesive co-receptors such as LFA-1. The selected candidate will implement
a combination of highly quantitative microscopy approaches to investigate the
topological organization of receptors at the immunological synapse and the
graduation of T cell activation and cytotoxic activity as a function of co-
receptor engagement and stimulation strength. The gained fundamental knowledge
will then be applied to better characterize the dysfunction of cytotoxic T
cells derived from patients with rare immunodeficiencies related to actin
cytoskeleton defects.

New Master/Ph.D. Students and Postdoctoral Researcher to join “Big Data,
Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning in Finance in Turkey” |
We are looking to admit four (4) outstanding applicants to the “Big Data,
Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning in Finance in Turkey” project at
the Department of Economics, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey.
Highly motivated (Turkish or international) Master/Ph.D. students (3
positions) and Postdoctoral researcher (1 position) are encouraged to join our
recent research project funded by “TÜBİTAK 2232 programme” emphasize on “Big
Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning in Finance in Turkey”.
Project Summary
Nowadays, Big Data affects every scientist in any field, from Astronomy to
Zoology. Our approach integrates state-of-the-art concepts and methods from
distinct fields of knowledge, Economics/Finance/Econometrics and Network
Sciences (an area that draws theory and methods from computer science, data
science, and statistics) with Artificial Intelligence (AI), thus creating a
new integrative methodological space. We blend the AI and network theory with
empirical approaches such as Hawkes Process (HP) and econometrics with a ML
perspective, as it gets beyond correlation to causality and prediction. We aim
to design structural content for information disclosure, financial efficiency,
sentiment analyses and macroeconomic forecasting and nowcasting in Turkey. Our
transformative idea merges data science with AI and ML, Natural Language
Processing (NLP) techniques and using these insights, we not only utilize deep
learning to exploit networks within the economy and the financial sector in
Turkey but also create methods to trace a range of data sources which matter
for quantifying the endogenous feedback mechanism. Hence, the proposed
research has an innovative approach in Turkey to establish a multidisciplinary
environment between economists, data scientists, and computer scientists.
Project Objectives
This project plans to create, establish and manage a wealth of new data
sources that moves financial institutions into the realm of big data, as well
as model and understand the statistical nature of this computationally
demanding unstructured data. We will extract relevant financial information
for sentiment analysis through NLP; describe the co-existence, and the
interplay between the exogenous impact of news and the endogenous price
mechanism, over a feedback loop, utilizing the Hawkes model. Our second
objective is to apply the ML approach to time series setting and present a
modeling framework to forecast and nowcast the main macroeconomic indicators
in Turkey on a medium-term horizon of two years. We will use training and test
framework, feed-forward artificial neural network, and Shapley decomposition
for an econometric ML approach.
Our approach is transformative, as it requires the integration of concepts and
methodologies from distinct fields of knowledge. In doing so, the final
objective of our research is to further interdisciplinary collaborations among
several scientific experts |

CUBS PhD Scholarship Opportunity in Human Resources/Economics, Scaffolding
Structures for a Post-Pandemic Hybrid Global Work Model: Evaluating
Organisational Policies and Practices |
**Scaffolding Structures for a Post-Pandemic Hybrid Global Work Model:
Evaluating Organisational Policies and Practices** __
_CUBS PhD Scholarship Opportunity_ _in Human Resources/Economics_
The Department of Management and Marketing and the Department of Economics,
Cork University Business School (CUBS), University College Cork, invite
motivated and talented graduates with outstanding academic records to apply
for the _CUBS PhD Scholarship_ for a project titled “Scaffolding Structures
for a Post-Pandemic Hybrid Global Work Model: Evaluating Organisational
Policies and Practices.” The supervisory team consists of Dr Stefan Jooss
(Lecturer in Management), Dr Aileen Murphy (Senior Lecturer in Economics), and
Dr Edel Walsh (Lecturer in Economics).
**Project Outline**
This PhD research will investigate the scaffolding structures that
organisations provide for a post-pandemic hybrid global work model
encompassing a range of flexible global working arrangements which have become
an ever-increasing feature of multinational enterprises (MNEs). There are
early signs that collocated flexible global work remains a key feature of how
global organisations conduct their work post pandemic, alongside increasing
investments in virtual global work. Leading organisations are actively
considering hybrid global work models and the reality is that the
sustainability of global work in MNEs requires workers and firms to find a
healthy balance between collocated and virtual working spaces. Creating truly
healthy workplaces has been a strategic priority for many organisations in
recent years. However, it appears that the related initiatives were mainly
considering on-site employees and failed to adequately consider health and
well-being implications of flexible global workers that are often in-between
sites or working virtually. A strong set of organisational support policies
and practices improve individual and organisational performance. At the same
time, such policies and practices can enhance well-being and a positive
employment relationship. Thus, there is a mutual gain for individuals and
organisations. This research will consider global hybrid work from both human
resources and economic perspectives.
**Entry Requirements**
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in an appropriate discipiline
(e.g., Business Management, Psychology, Human Resource Management, Economics,
or other relevant degree), and desirably: appropriate research experience,
good communication, organisation, and interpersonal skills. We are looking to
recruit the highest calibre of PhD student from Ireland or abroad for this
prestigious award which is funded by Cork University Business School.
All postgraduate applicants whose first language is not English must provide
evidence of English language proficiency. For further information and
eligibility please see:

The department Chemical Biology and the research group of Nanoscale Infection
Biology are offering a position as
Doctoral Researcher (f/m/d)
Chemical Biology/Virology
Project description:
The aim of our combined research project is to study virus-receptor signalling
during the entry phase of virus infection for different enveloped viruses. We
will use super-resolution single molecule microscopy in combination with
single-virus tracking to get mechanistic insights into the first minutes of
the infection process. To this end, we will develop synthetic strategies to
specifically modify intact viruses and immobilize them on solid glass
supports. This will enable us to study virus-cell interaction at high temporal
resolution while retaining control of the infection time point.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the development of a linker
model to immobilize viruses onto surfaces for basolateral infection of
epithelial cells. Monitoring by advanced fluorescence microscopical techniques
is enabled by a specifically developed chemical toolbox for the release
mechanism. This study system will be used to obtain novel mechanistic insights
into the infection process. A part of the work will be performed in biosafety
level 2 laboratories on the campus.
Qualifications:
* Master’s degree or equivalent in chemistry, chemical biology, biochemistry, or related field within life sciences
* Strong motivation to develop scientific skills
* First experiences with independent planning of experimental methods (synthesis, biochemistry and bioanalytics) are required
* Ability to work independently and as a part of a multidisciplinary and international team

Ph.D. position - User-centred Security Framework for Social Robots in Public
Space |
The overall aim of the SecuRoPS project is to develop a user-centred security
framework for autonomous social robots that can operate securely in public
space. The project will start with eliciting the threat landscape or attack
surface pertaining to social robots, and identifying the state of the art on
security principles and guidelines on social robots. Thereafter, the project
will develop a cybersecurity framework encompassing a well-defined process,
threat models, design principles, and guidelines, to manage security of social
robots. Furthermore, the framework offers reusable models or components that
can be applied by robot developers, robot owners and other stakeholders to
develop secure robots and to monitor and respond to security events. The
framework and prototype robots, implementing the framework, will be
demonstrated through pilot cases on developing a social robot for a city
ferry.
Within the project, the PhD candidate will work mainly in WP2 “Digital threat
landscape of social robot” and WP3 “SecuRoPS framework: user-centred security
for social robot”, conducting literature reviews as well as interviews to
complete WP2, but also developing the SecuRoPS framework including the design
of knowledge bases of resusable threat models and security design mechanisms
and security profiles for social robots, as well as guidelines for the
adoption of the framework.
The successful candidate will be a member of an active research group at
Østfold University College. He or she is expected to do research, develop
prototype implementations and write research papers on the topic of his or her
project.
## About the position

Research Associate - Caspar David Friedrich Institute 21/Si30 |
At the University of Greifswald´s interdisciplinary research project
"Herrenhauszentrum des Ostseeraums / Research Centre for Manors in the Baltic
Sea Region" at Caspar David Friedrich Institute in the Faculty of Arts and
Humanities, two full-time positions (subject to funding by Federal Government
Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM) and the state of Mecklenburg-
Vorpommern) are available at the earliest from 1 October 2021 as a
Research Associate.
The positions on offer are limited to a period of 36 months and suitable for
part-time employment. Payment will be made according to pay group 13 TV-L

The research project "Herrenhauszentrum des Ostseeraums / Research Centre for
Manors in the Baltic Sea Region" is a pilot project for research into the
manor house landscape in the entire cultural area Baltic Sea. The project is
funded in equal parts by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and
the Media (BKM) and the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
The post-medieval manor houses from 1500 onwards are a central component of
the cultural landscape of the Baltic Sea region right up to the present day.
Today, they are spread across a total of ten countries (Germany, Poland, the
Russian regions of Kaliningrad, Ingermanland and Karelia, Lithuania, Latvia,
Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway). Although the corpus of manor
houses in the Baltic Sea region has long been perceived by architectural
historians as a special regional feature, awareness of the common historical
cultural landscape is only slowly developing. In addition to architectural
studies, the project is interested in research on the history and cultural
history of the complexes, on functional, sociological and political aspects,
on the collaboration of the various architects and artists involved in the
construction, as well as on interior decorations. Due to the project's
duration of three years, the period under consideration has been limited to
1710 to 1770. At the center of the project is the establishment of a virtual
research environment as the core element of gaining knowledge. The data sets
of the recorded objects are to be enriched with digital landscape models, 3D
laser scans, geophysical 3D soil models or virtual 3D reconstructions in
addition to classic data such as texts, images or archive material. All non-
regulated content will then be prepared and presented for the public on a
website.

Research Fellow, MaREI Centre, Environmental Research Institute and School of
Engineering and Architecture |
2 Years, Fixed-term, Whole-time Post
**Position summary**
Applications are invited for the post of Research Fellow, working on Ireland’s
first Five Year Assessment Report (5YAR) on Climate Change within the Energy
Policy & Modelling at the MaREI Centre in University College Cork (UCC), based
at the Environmental Research Institute, Lee Rd, Cork. Working with Volume 4
Academic Lead, Dr. Hannah Daly, the Fellow will support the development,
writing and production of Volume 4 of the 5YAR, “Realising the benefits of
transition and transformation”. The report will provide an authoritative
assessment of our understanding of climate change in an Irish context, linked
EU and global analysis and to provide summary information which can inform
decision making on climate actions.
MaREI is a key research centre within UCC’s Environmental Research Institute
(ERI), which is an internationally recognised Institute for environmental
research dedicated to the understanding and protection of our natural
environment and to developing innovative technologies, tools and services to
facilitate a transformation to a zero carbon and resource efficient society.
The MaREI Centre is an SFI funded research centre headquartered in the ERI and

and marine spaces.
MaREI’s Energy Policy and Modelling Group (EPMG) in UCC has been engaged in
energy policy and energy modelling research for 20 years. The results of this
research have been published in journal papers, conference proceedings and
reports and have directly informed the development of national energy and
climate mitigation policy. The focus of research in the Energy Policy and
Modelling Group is on integrated modelling approaches comprising i) sectoral
energy demand and efficiency, ii) electricity, gas and water modelling and
iii) full energy systems modelling.
Five-Year Assessment Report (5YAR) on Climate Change
UCC is seeking to appoint a Research Fellow to support the development,
writing and production of Ireland’s first Five Year Assessment Report (5YAR)
on Climate Change. It will serve to identify research gaps to inform future
research investment needs and priority research issues. It is envisaged that
this process will contribute to the development of national assessment and
analysis capacity. It should also enhance engagement with similar developments
at European and international levels and establish a structure and process to
develop future reports.
The report will be provided in a series of four thematic volumes with an
overarching synthesis report. Three of the four volumes will reflect the
structures used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in providing
its large-scale assessment report in addressing fundamental scientific
understanding, mitigation of climate change and adaptation to climate change.
The fourth volume will focus on the opportunities and realising the benefits
of the required transition and transformation arising from mitigating and
adapting to climate change. The report’s structure is as follows:
* Vol. 1: Science: Ireland in a changing world
* Vol. 2: Achieving climate neutrality by 2050
* Vol. 3: Being prepared for Ireland’s future climate
* Vol. 4: Realising the benefits of transition and transformation
Each volume will be published as individual components of the 5YAR. The
completion of the 5YAR will be signalled by publication of a short synthesis
report that integrates key messages from the material in the underlying
volumes. The writing process will be led by a team of at least 8 leading
academics with at least two academics leading on the production of each of the
component volumes. The synthesis report will be provided by the full team. The
report will be focused on outcomes from research in Ireland and Europe and
build on material provided by the IPCC during its 6th Assessment cycle.
Role of the Research Fellow
Funding has been provided by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland to
MaREI and UCC to co-lead the writing of Volume 4, “Realising the benefits of
transition and transformation”. The successful candidate will work with Dr.
Hannah Daly, Academic Lead for Volume 4, to research and deliver this volume
of the report in collaboration with other researchers and lead authors on Vol.
4. The Volume will link to Volumes 2 and 3 and will explore how the transition
to a climate resilient and climate neutral economy and society can be enabled
and brought about in a way which addresses wider sustainability and
development objectives.
The Fellow will have a key role in writing Volume 4 of the report. The role
will involve surveying and synthesising the state of scientific knowledge,
nationally and globally, on the potential risks and opportunities of climate
mitigation and adaptation pathways in addressing issues related to sustainable
development, including air pollution, energy poverty, just transition,
enabling environments, rural and urban sustainability, transport and
biodiversity.
The successful candidate will work with other Volume leads and researchers
across multiple institutions and the Environmental Protection Agency in
delivering this report.
Applicants should have a PhD and postdoctoral research experience in a
discipline related to climate change, such as engineering, economics,
environmental science or a related field, a track record of strong peer
reviewed journal publications, and broad knowledge of the opportunities and
challenges posed by addressing climate change. Knowledge of the Sustainable
Development Goals and their relationship to climate mitigation and adaptation
would be a strong advantage. Applicants should preferably have knowledge of
the Irish climate change policy landscape and experience of working with
multidisciplinary teams. Previous experience with international (e.g., IPCC)
or national synthesis reports would also be of benefit.
Very strong written and spoken communication skills, including fluency in
English, is an essential requirement.

Postdoc Position in Environmental and Soil Microbial Ecology |
University of Thessaly is offering a Postdoc position in environmental
microbiology and soil microbial ecology in the frame of an Industry funded
project (SYNGENTA) with expected commencement in October 2021 or as soon as
possible thereafter. The project duration is18 months with a potential
extension to 24 months starting in September 2021.
**Duration:** 18 months with a possible extention for 6 more months
**Place of Employment:** University of Thessaly, Department of Biochemistry
and Biotechnology, Laboratory of Plant and Environmental Biotechnology,
Larissa, GREECE,
**Brief Project Description:** Pesticides interact with soil microbes in
various ways spanning from energy-gain biodegradation to toxicity. Although
soil microorganisms have been identified as key modulator of soil functioning,
the toxicity of pesticides on this group of organisms has been largely
overlooked at regulatory level. The assessment of the toxicity of pesticides
on soil microorganisms has attracted a lot of attention in the last 10 years
with the upsurge and standardization, at various levels, of novel biochemical
and molecular tools. At the same time it has resulted in the production of a
lot of fragmented knowledge which needs to be gathered, assessed in a
systematic way in order to allow the development of tools that would be used
for defining new target organisms in the mikrobiokosmos of soil. The project
will work at two levels aiming (a) to provide a thorough literature review of
the current knowledge regarding the toxicity of pesticides on soil
microorganisms and (b) to put together a database of amplicon sequencing data
from relevant studies that would be used as a tool for meta-analysis of the
effects of pesticides on the soil microbial community. These two goals will
result in the development of a dual database composed of (a) literature
information linking pesticide chemicals with effects on soil microorganisms as
reported in studies critically assessed as of standard quality and (b) a
database of curated amplicon sequencing data for bacteria and fungi that would
be used for multi-purpose meta-analysis using standard and higher tier
ecotoxicology approaches in order to define microbial groups responsive to
pesticide exposure or general statistically relevant trends of effects of
pesticides on soil microorganisms (even across trophic levels in the soil food
web). The ultimate goal will be the production of a user interface that would
enable access to the scientific community. In the longer term the amplicon
sequencing database would expand to the diversity of functional microbial
groups like ammonia-oxidizing microbes, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and even
protists for which amplicon sequencing data are available or are in the
process of being generated.
**The selected candidate is expected to:**
* Employ a literature survey to gather all relevant publications related to effects of pesticides on soil microorganisms
* Employ a quality screening of the publications (based on predetermined criteria), identify relevant toxicity endpoints measured and present the gathered data in a user friendly mode
* Gather all studies looking at the effects of pesticides on soil microbial diversity using amplicon sequencing, gather and quality screen the data
* Employ a meta-analysis to identify key microbial groups responsive to pesticides as indicators of microbial toxicity
* Work together with the industrial partner in the preparation of a user interface for public access to the dataset

PhD Studentship in molecular biology and genetics (H/F) |
The work will be carried out within the "Recombinaison et maintenance de
l'intégrité du génome" team lead by Dr Charles White. The project is part of
an ANR JCJC.
Hybridization between related species resulting from allopolyploidy is
ubiquitous in the plant evolutionary history. All newly formed allopolyploids
must overcome the challenge of meiotic chromosome segregation due to the
presence of additional set(s) of related but non-identical chromosomes
(homoeologues). Working with the allotetraploid Arabidopsis suecica and using
a combination of cytological, genomic and epigenomic approaches, the PhD
project concerns the processes ensuring meiotic adaptation of allopolyploidy,
and more precisely the molecular mechanisms that control pairing and
recombination between homoeologous chromosomes. |

PhD 'designing and appraising climate-resilient pathways for the Dutch sandy-
soil landscapes' |
_**Do you want to contribute to a resilient climate-proof future for the Dutch
sandy soil landscapes? Would you like to combine research on resilience
pathways with interaction with partners and public outreach? Then you could be
the ideal candidate to join our team!**_
We are hiring a PhD candidate to build and test a framework for designing and
appraising pathways towards climate-resilient land and water systems. The
framework will connect pathways of incremental decisions to pathways of more
radical transformative change. Your main tasks are:
* develop a framework to appraise pathways towards climate resilient land and water systems and adapt it for sandy-soil regions in south and east Netherlands;
* use the framework to appraise historic pathways of actions undertaken by various stakeholders, with special attention to collaborative efforts from diverse stakeholders and path-dependent processes;
* co-create climate resilient development pathways appropriate for sandy-soil land and water systems, climatic conditions, decision context and community;
* appraise the contribution of these pathways towards climate-resilience and achieving a long-lasting high-quality living environment.
Your PhD project is part of the CASTOR (Catchment Strategies Towards
Resilience): Dutch Pleistocene Landscapes in the Anthropocene' project, which
is funded through the NWA program of NWO (project description available upon
request). CASTOR is a collaborative and interdisciplinary project in which
Wageningen University & Research collaborates with other universities
(UTwente, TUDelft), research institutes (WENR, Deltares, KWR), water boards,
drinking water company Vitens and the ministry of Infrastructure and Water
management. Six researchers will be employed for the project (two post-doc,
four PhD candidates), supported by a diverse team of academic staff members
(ranging from soil geography, to integrated water management, planning and
governance). You should be motivated to work in a transdisciplinary research
team and have a willingness to interact and collaborate with a diverse range
of partners. You are expected to communicate your results to scientific peers,
project partners and the general public.
The research is embedded within the chair [Water Systems and Global
Change](https://www.wur.nl/en/Research-Results/Chair-groups/Environmental-
Sciences/Water-Systems-and-Global-Change-Group.htm) (WSG), which is led by
Prof. Carolien Kroeze. |

PhD position on Multi-scale modelling of aquitard hydraulic conductivity (0.8
- 1.0 FTE) |
We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD candidate who is interested in working
on advanced hydrogeological modelling at the boundary between theory and
practice. You will work in close cooperation with scientists from the faculty
of Geosciences at Utrecht University and TNO Geological Survey of The
Netherlands.
As a PhD candidate you will concentrate your research on the hydrogeologic and
hydraulic characterization of aquitards and confining layers at multiple
scales, with specific focus on the shallow subsoil of the Netherlands. TNO
Geological Survey of the Netherlands (TNO-GSN) collects and manages the geo-
scientific information of the subsurface of the Netherlands. An important task
of TNO-GSN is to built, maintain and update 3D (hydro)geological models of the
subsurface, i.e. GeoTOP (voxel model for the upper 50 m), and REGIS II (layer-
model for the upper 500 m, focusing on groundwater management). To arrive at
hydraulic properties of aquifers and aquitards, TNO-GSN uses information from
borelogs, core samples and stochastic simulation and upscaling techniques.
Together with Utrecht University, TNO-GSN has initiated a project to improve
the hydraulic parameterization of shallow aquitards in the GeoTOP and REGIS II
models. The focus is on aquitards because of their importance in groundwater
protection and groundwater response to global change as well as larger
difficulties to estimate their hydraulic conductivity. In this project you
will upgrade the current methods employed by TNO-GSN to estimate aquitard
properties by including the results of advanced pumping tests and groundwater
head observations around groundwater pumping stations. You will also
investigate how the hydrogeologic and hydraulic properties of aquitards vary
across the Netherlands using data from core to local scale. |

Doctoral students in computer science |
**Subject description**
The PhD students will be working in the [Mathematical Insights into Algorithms
for Optimization (MIAO) group](https://jakobnordstrom.github.io/miao-group/)
headed by [Jakob Nordström](https://jakobnordstrom.github.io/), which is
active at both Lund University and the University of Copenhagen.
The MIAO research group has a unique profile in that we are doing cutting-edge
research both on the mathematical foundations of efficient computation and on
state-of-the-art practical algorithms for real-world problems. This creates a
very special environment, where we do not only conduct in-depth research on
different theoretical and applied topics, but where different lines of
research cross-fertilise each other and unexpected and exciting synergies
often arise. Much of the activities of the group revolve around powerful
algorithmic paradigms such as, e.g., Boolean satisfiability (SAT) solving,
Gröbner basis computations, integer linear programming, and constraint
programming. This leads to classical questions in computational complexity
theory—though often with new, fascinating twists—but also involves work on
devising clever algorithms that can exploit the power of such paradigms in
practice.
We currently have one openng for a theoretically oriented PhD student, funded
by a Consolidator Grant from the Swedish Research Council, and one more
applied opening financed by the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software
Program (WASP). There is a lot of flexibility as to what kind of research the
PhD students will pursue, though, and all candidates are welcome, both those
who want to go deep into either theory or practice and those who are inspired
by the challenge of bridging the gap between the two.
On the theory side, most of our work is in proof complexity, which studies
formal systems for reasoning about logic formulas and other types of problems.
Proof complexity has connections to foundational questions in computational
complexity theory, but also plays an important role in algorithm analysis by
providing a rigorous understanding of the power and limitations of different
algorithmic approaches.
On the practical side, we want to gain a more rigorous scientific
understanding, and improve the performance, of modern algorithms for automated
reasoning and combinatorial optimization. We are particularly interested in
designing algorithms that can exploit sophisticated mathematical techniques to
achieve exponential improvements in performance compared to the current state
of the art—something that theoretical research suggests should be possible,
but that has so far been hard to achieve in practice.
Quite recently, we have also made some breakthrough research on how to verify
the correctness of state-of-the-art algorithms for combinatorial optimization.
Such algorithms are often highly complex, and even mature commercial solvers
are known to sometimes produce wrong results. Our goal is to design a new
generation of certifying combinatorial solvers with so-called proof logging,
meaning that the solvers output not only a solution but also a machine-
verifiable proof that is easy to check and provides 100% formal guarantees
that the claimed solution is correct and complete.
**Work duties

PhD candidates: optical characteriation of 2d heterostructures |
The institute of Molecular Science at the University of Valencia (ICMol) is
currently looking for PhD-Candidates to work on Optical Characterization of 2D
Heterostructures for application in Quantum technologies. We are recruiting
two outstanding PhD candidates to join our optical spectroscopy lab from
October 2021. Applicants must have Physics background and hold a Master in
Photonics or Material Science. Applicant from related areas are also welcome.
ICMol is a centre of excellence recognized as a María de Maeztu Unit by the
Spanish Research Agency. It is located the Science Park of the University of
Valencia, in Paterna, and currently it hosts 257 people working in 41 state-
of-the-art research laboratories, equipped with cutting-edge facilities for
synthesis, nanofabrication, and material characterization.
Awarded PhD candidates will get an initial training in nano-fabrication and
design of 2d-heterostructures, numerical simulation, low temperature micro-
spectroscopy. Given the multidisciplinary research in house, they will also
develop transversal skills in nano-magnetism and nano-optics, solid state
quantum optics and quantum information processing. The role of the candidates
would consist of the study of quantum interactions among charge carriers at
the nanoscale by means of Kerr magnetometry and optical spectroscopy. In
particular, they will focus on specific aspects of the projects described
below.
Project 1: Magneto-optical characterization of van der Waals Heterostructures
for quantum applications
This project will focus on the development and characterization of
heterostructures based in 2d superconductors and magnets. Atomically-thin
layers of micrometric lateral size will be isolated and deterministically
stacked. Their Magneto-optical properties will be inspected by magneto-optic
Kerr effect (MOKE) in combination with high-resolution optical spectroscopy
techniques including Raman, photoluminescence (PL) and non-linear optical
spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures.
Not only do interlayer interactions between correlated charge carriers in our
heterostructures present an intringing scenario for fundamental studies but
also the rich phenomenology observed at the quantum level has exhibited
unprecedented potential for application in quantum optics based devices.
Project 2: Nanoscale quantum interactions in van der Waals heterostructures
This project will focus on the study of single photon emitters naturally
generated on 2d-semiconductors in contact with an antiferromagnetic
2d-crystal. From the fundamental point of view, these kind of heterostructures
provide an unexplored scenario to study the interaction of 2d-excitons with
localized electron spins and collective spin excitations. Our aim is to
illustrate the limits of the spin coherence in these exotic systems to come up
with technical solutions for modulating the emission of quantum light and
invent new strategies for coupling magnetic and optical quantum systems.

PhD position for studies of Dirac and 2D material surfaces |
**PROJECT DESCRIPTION**
We seek to obtain a deeper understanding of how energy dissipates on Dirac and
two-dimensional materials. The discovery of Dirac materials (graphene,
topological insulators and an entire class of new two-dimensional materials
and even superconductors) is so recent that many fundamental questions are
still wide open, with a strong potential for groundbreaking discoveries.
The first aspect of the project concentrates on how energy dissipates on these
novel material surfaces, and the role of the electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling.
The e-ph interaction at surfaces is one of the most important mechanisms for
energy dissipation in electronic transport and its understanding is therefore
of huge importance for future low-power technologies. It is also at the heart
of conventional superconductivity.
As a second aspect, the project aims to quantify the role of energy
dissipation in the motion and dynamics of molecules at surfaces. A central
question for this motion is, in what way the molecule dissipates energy to the
surface during its motion, which further governs the type of molecular motion
and how fast and far the molecule may travel. Following the motion of
individual molecules at surfaces is deceptively difficult and will be carried
out at the [Cambridge](https://atomscattering.phy.cam.ac.uk/)[ atom scattering
centre](https://atomscattering.phy.cam.ac.uk/).
As the successful candidate, you will perform helium atom scattering (HAS)
measurements of Dirac and 2D material surfaces. You will learn about
reciprocal space techniques and in-depth data analysis. In addition, you will
have the opportunity to perform He spin-echo measurements during a research
stay at the University of Cambridge. Further complementary information can be
obtained in collaboration with the photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM)
group at TU Graz.
REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
* Completed academic degree in physics, chemistry or materials science
* Good knowledge in at least one field:
\- Condensed matter and surface-/nanoscience
\- Ultrahigh vacuum technology
\- Scattering & reciprocal space techniques
\- Basic programming skills (Matlab and/or Python) are advantageous
* Social and communication skills
* Good English language skills
* Independent problem solving
* Good academic performance is appreciated
**OUR OFFER:**
The position is funded as part of an FWF (Austrian science fund) project,
available from 1st October 2021 or later and will be limited to 3 years.
Payment is based on the standard FWF salaries with 30 hours per week at €

Professor Elektrotechniek: Hardware Security for the IoT |
Research
The internet of things (IoT) is increasingly becoming part of our everyday
life. Examples of IoT application markets are car-to-car communication, smart
electricity grids and e-health systems. In order to protect the processed data
and the privacy of the users, it is important to implement dedicated security
measures in IoT devices and networks.Putting in place security and privacy
measures should introduce a minimal overhead in the system's power/energy
consumption, cost and operational delay. Additionally, the IoT usually allows
potential attackers to be in the vicinity of the IoT device, which stresses
the need for side-channel protection (e.g. against power analysis or
electromagnetic analysis attacks). Finally, it is difficult to predict future
security threats. Therefore, future IoT products should be capable of being
upgraded/updated/reconfigured. Another trend IoT networks is the emergence of
new technologies to meet constraints such as low cost, low energy consumption,
high reliability, ... IoT devices built in these emerging technologies also
need to be secured, and existing security mechanisms cannot always be ported
to these technologies. The goal is to take on the challenge of designing
secure and efficient IoT devices and networks, taking into account these
design parameters and requirements.We are inviting applications from
candidates that pursue the development of applied research activities in this
domain while relying on a strong expertise in hardware design. The focus can
be on digital design for ASICs and/or FPGAs with innovations in the field of

Precision Cs-atom magnetometry for the neutron electric dipole moment project |
This research project is in the framework of an international collaboration of
about 15 institutes that develo pand operate together the neutron electric
dipole moment project (called n2EDM)at the Paul Scherrer Institute. Based on
expertise built up by running the first-phase nEDM experiment a new apparatus
is now being installed and tested,with data taking starting in 2022. Apart
from improving statistics, magnetic field stability and control are key
aspects of the new project.
The KU Leuven team is investigating the detailed operational characteristics
of cesium-based magnetometers with a sensitivity at the 100 femtotesla level.
You will be involved in the research related to improving the working of these
magnetometers as well as in the further development and optimization of a
system based on these magnetometers that should be capable of stabilizing an
electric current source at the 10-9level. The optimization requires frequent
changes of parameters and characterization in order to find the best operation
mode. This system will be a key component of the n2EDM experiment.
You will be in charge of the day-to-day organization and coordination of the
magnetometry work in the team, the coordination of our team’s collaboration
with other teams working on cesium-based magnetometry, the installation and
testing at the PSI of the equipmentdeveloped here in Leuven, participation in
beam times for n2EDM data-taking,and the guidance of master students and
possibly PhD students. |

PhD fellowship in RASOPTA |
A 3-year PhD fellowship is available at Centre for Diagnostics, DTU Health
Technology, DTU, Lyngby, Denmark, with an expected start January 1st 2022.
The fellowship is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No
956481.
About RASOPTA
The RASOPTA consortium consists of enthusiastic academic researchers and
innovative non-academic partners, which together will train a new generation
of scientists with expertise in sustainable and healthy fish production with
minimum water consumption. Production of fish in recirculated aquaculture
systems (RAS) requires experiences from several scientific disciplines, but
there is a need to bridge existing knowledge gaps between these disciplines to
ensure a high water quality, healthy and non-stressed fish, and a supreme
consumer quality of the fish. Therefore, in RASOPTA 10 universities and
research institutes and 8 non-academic partners in 8 countries will provide
state-of-the-art training in important disciplines within RAS technology.
Primary goals of the training are to improve microbial processes to maintain a
high water quality, to identify off-flavour compounds that may affect consumer
preference for fish from RAS, and to ensure an optimum health and welfare of
the fish. The research also aims at developing a DNA-based chip for early
warning of quality and health of the fish. To reach the interdisciplinary
goals in RASOPTA, the consortium will train 12 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs)
in disciplines ranging from chemistry, microbiology and molecular biology, to
physiology and pathology of fish.
About your project
The candidate will contribute to a focus area on fish health in work package 3
of the RASOPTA project with four other ESRs located in Spain (Universitat
Autònoma de Barcelona, UAB), Faroe Islands (Faroese Food & Vet. Authority,
FFVA), Hungary (Állatorvostudományi Kutatóintézet “Agricultural Research
Center”, ATKI) and Denmark (University of Copenhagen, UCPH), respectively.
Main focus:
* Development of a rapid and cost effective diagnostic high-throughput real-time PCR (Fluidigm) system for monitoring the presence or absence of important microorganisms influencing fish health and production in RAS
* Extract DNA from the RAS system from water samples (environmental DNA or eDNA)
* Design and optimize quantitative PCR assays targeting biofilter- and water microorganisms, pathogenic bacteria, virus and parasites as well as geosmin-producing microorganism
* Include and design assays against pathogens identified by ESR 11 in biological material, water and air
The candidate will work in close contact with the ESR at UCPH, who will
correlate the amount of DNA in water surrounding the fish (eDNA) with the
stage of disease in the fish and pathogen load, using infection trials of
rainbow trout and zebrafish. The other ESRs in the project will contribute to
the development of the chip with relevant assays and reference material. The
candidate will focus on interpretation of eDNA in the water.
The candidate will be enrolled at the Graduate Program of Health Tech PhD
School at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU,
). The
graduate program requires the student to obtain 30 ECTS points during the
three-year period in order to graduate. Mandatory training activities in
RASOPTA will contribute 12 ECTS to the ESRs. A broad set of PhD courses is
offered:

tenure-track profes-sors from February 14, 2020, the prerequisites named in
Art. 14 Bavarian University Staff Act (BayHSchPG) apply to the appointment of
a developing professor. This means, above all, particu-lar aptitude for
academic work, generally shown by a doctoral degree, and further academic per-
formance commensurate with the early phase of a career.Applicants must have
changed universities following the doctorate or have been academically active
for at least two years somewhere other than Universität Regensburg before the

to be a tie among two or more applicants, the president of the jury will
decide which of them is to be eliminated. Once this elimination is made, the
jury returns to the first vote, but only with the remaining candidates. The
process is repeated until one applicant receives more than half the votes for
first place. The process is repeated for second place and so on until an
ordered list of all candidates is complete.
8 — Participation of interested parties and the decision:

PhD candidates in Joint Sensing and Communications for Emerging Wireless
Networks |
**SnT** is a leading **international research and innovation centre** in
secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services. We play an
instrumental role in Luxembourg by fueling innovation through research
partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading to economic
growth, and attracting highly qualified talent.
The Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) is
carrying out interdisciplinary research in secure, reliable and trustworthy
ICT systems and services, often in collaboration with industrial, governmental
or international partners. The SIGCOM group in SnT is pursuing research on
wireless communications and radar signal processing in partnership with
national and international academic and industrial collaborators.
As part of the collaboration in the emerging field of joint sensing and
communications, SnT/SIGCOM is leading a research project titled, “Sensing-
Aided Communication for High Mobility with High Directivity,” in collaboration
with Prof. Giuseppe Caire (Technical University, Berlin) and Prof. Gerhard
Kramer and Prof. Mari Kobayashi (Technical University, Munich). This research
project explores the fundamental aspects of communications for sensing,
sensing for communications and integrated sensing and communications from
information theoretic, wireless communication and signal processing
perspectives in the emerging scenario of high mobility utilizing high
frequency bands (and hence directivity) is explored. This fully funded project
is aimed at furthering the state-of-the-art in Beyond 5G (B5G, 6G…), pursuing
joint research and envisages exchange of researchers.
In the aforementioned project, SIGCOM research group will focus on the signal
processing and wireless communication aspects of integrated sensing and

Works on an unified waveform for radar and communications is in its infancy,
let alone for high mobility networks. A first research challenge, lies in
determining the suitable optimization metric (Mean Square Error, Signal to
Noise Ratio, Detection probability etc.). Challenges also arise in determining
a parametric model for waveforms that can be used for different flavors of
MIMO radar and deriving update methods (or optimizing) for the parameters in
the presence of high-mobility leading to poor coherence times. Particularly,
the PhD projects focus on
* Novel high mobility joint radar and communication systems exploring novel architectures (ultra-massive MIMO, intelligent surfaces), new modulation techniques exploiting available dimensions in next generation sub-THz/ THz systems
* High-mobility MIMO Radar and MIMO Communications waveform design dealing with the identification of figure of merit, design of waveform and receiver for JRC set-up and their evaluation in a variety of channel conditions

6 — Assessment and selection:
6.1 — After the admission of the application to the Competition, the jury will
begin the process of analysis of the applications, taking into account the
items and criteria set out in this notice.
6.2 — In the first meeting, which may take place by teleconference as decided
by the jury president and after examination and admission of applications, the
jury begins to decide which applicants pass to the next phase on absolute
merit. To this purpose, each member of the jury proposes, which applications
do not meet the requirements at both a scientific and pedagogic level as
established by the Notice for the present Competition.
After all jury members have submitted their proposals to the President of the
jury, the jury votes on each application, for which rejection is proposed, and
no abstentions are allowed; an application is rejected on absolute merit if it
obtains a majority of votes favourable to the rejection among the members of
the jury present at the meeting. Each application will be voted only once.
Other proposals, which eliminate the same application will not be voted on.
The final decision on each proposal, as well as the number of votes collected
by each of them, and their bases, are an integral part of the minutes.
6.3 — In the case of an application not receiving absolute merit approval, the
jury proceeds to holding a hearing with the excluded applicants, who may
contest within 10 days.
6.4 — The jury then assesses those candidates approved according to absolute
merit, considering the criteria and parameters of assessment as well as the
ranking factors in this notice.
6.4.1 — Each member of the jury applies a value, on the scale of 0-100, for
each criteria or aspects regarding each applicant.
6.4.2 — The final result is expressed on a numerical scale of 0-100 and it is
calculated by weighing each criteria with the corresponding weight which
provides a score to each aspect. Each aspect score has its own weight which is
used to calculate the final score.
Expressed as a formula, the final result (FR) is calculated as follows:
FR=P1*(C11*P11+C12*P12+C13*P13+C14*P14)+P2*(C21*P21+C22*P22+C23*P23)+P3*(C31*P31+C32*P32)+P4*(C41*P41)
7 — Voting methodology and ordering:
7.1 — The ordering of candidates should be founded on the assessment made
based on strands and criteria of assessment and corresponding weighing factors
listed in this notice.
7.2 — Before voting, each member of the jury presents a written document, that
will be attached to the minutes of the meeting, with the order of the
applicants, duly founded, taking into consideration the previous paragraph.
7.3 — On the various votes, each jury member should respect the order
presented, no abstentions allowed.
7.4 — The jury will use the following voting method in order to obtain an
absolute majority in the final ranking of candidates:
The first vote is intended to determine the applicant to be put in first
place. If an applicant receives more than half the votes of the members of the
jury present at the meeting he will be placed in first place. If the applicant
in first place is not determined, the voting will be repeated, but only among
the candidates who received votes to be considered for first place after
removal of the applicant least voted in the first round. If there is more than
one applicant in the position of least voted there will be another vote with
only these applicants in order to determine who is to be eliminated. For this
vote, the jury members vote for the applicant who has the lowest ranking, the
applicant with the most votes is eliminated. If at this point there continues
to be a tie among two or more applicants, the president of the jury will
decide which of them is to be eliminated. Once this elimination is made, the
jury returns to the first vote, but only with the remaining candidates. The
process is repeated until one applicant receives more than half the votes for
first place. The process is repeated for second place and so on until an
ordered list of all candidates is complete.
8 — Participation of interested parties and the decision:
8.1 — The applicants are notified of the final ranking in order to start the
hearings of the interested parties conducted under the terms of the

PhD in Structural Health Monitoring of Composite and Complex Structures and
Systems |
Project description: Structural failure in the aerospace, civil and energy
sectors can be life threatening for users/passengers and financially
catastrophic for operators and the manufacturer. This is the main reason for
which critical structures (i.e. aircrafts, wind turbines etc.) spend large
part of their lifecycle under inspection with the accompanied costs being
significant. On-line detection and characterization of minor failures within
complex (composite as well as 3D printed) structures can lead to a radical
reduction of this cost and eventually cheaper and safer transport and energy
production. |

Postdoctoral position at the Tharaux Kidney Lab (Inserm, Paris, France) |
OVERVIEW
We are looking for a motivated postdoc to join the Tharaux-Lenoir Kidney Lab
at the Paris Cardiovascular Centre - PARCC, Paris, France. The general
interest of our lab is to understand how kidney and vascular cells resist
immune and metabolic stresses. Our work focuses on intercellular
communications in diseases with systematic comparisons of human and mouse
tissues and cells to identify the major cellular pathways contributing to
kidney destruction (Bensaada I et al. Kidney Int 2021, Lazareth H et al. Nat
Commun 2019, Henique C et al. Nat Commun 2017, Luque Y et al. J Am Soc Nephrol
2017). Such approaches deciphering mechanisms of cellular adaptation that
underlie kidney damage control in response to auto-immunity or diabetes,
integrating both stress and damage responses, could delineate novel
complementary therapies. Our lab provides a stimulating environment of
curiosity, enthusiasm, fun, and ambition to perform top-tier science. For more
information on the lab, visit
PROJECT
The PROTECT-Fi project aims at uncovering a novel connection between cell
metabolism and sterile inflammation in renal epithelial cells that will be
investigated using the same functional and molecular imaging and analyses of
patients' tissues and mouse models. Using histology, highly multiplexed in
situ imaging mass cytometry, RNA seq and lipidomics, we will spatially compare
patterns of epithelial, fibroblasts and leukocyte subsets associated with
disease trajectories and manipulate pathways to repress inflammation and
fibrosis to prevent or treat kidney failure. |

PhD opportunities in HiSCORE ERC project |
Our recently funded ERC Synergy Grant
**HiSCORE - Highly Informative Drug Screening by Overcoming NMR Restrictions**
seeks to advance hyperpolarisation, miniaturisation, parallelisation and spin
dynamics, and combine these research themes for highly informative drug
discovery by nuclear magnetic resonance. We believe that, eventually, magnetic
resonance can provide an in-depth biophysical characterisation of drug
candidates in a much shorter time than today, and become a very effective
platform for rapid drug discovery.
This highly interdisciplinary project is run by four laboratories ( **Geoffrey
Bodenhausen, Arno Kentgens, Jan Korvink, and Benno Meier** ) in three
institutions (ENS Paris, Radboud University Nijmegen, and Karlsruhe Institute
of Technology). Our partners **Alvar Gossert** (ETH Zürich) and Claudio Dalvit
(Trento) complete our team with strong expertise in magnetic resonance (MR)
based drug discovery.
We now invite applications from prospective PhD candidates,to join this
ambitious research programme. Several positions are available, and we expect
frequent and in-depth exchanges between the participating labs. PhD positions
will be supervised jointly, and enable one to obtain experience in the
participating institutions.
The **Magnetic** **Resonance** **Research** **Center** (MRRC) headed by
**Kentgens** will focus on the development of hyperpolarization methodology in
a microfluidic context, including advanced sample handling and use of solvents
such as supercritical CO2. We will explore Overhauser DNP, rapid-melt DNP and
Para Hydrogen Induced Polarization (PHIP), aiming at a generic approach for
hyperpolarizing drug candidates. Further research will include the development
of parallel NMR detectors, as well as methods to run experiments independently
in each detector.
Our lab is part of the national Dutch NMR facility (uNMR-NL), and houses a
range of state-of-the-art spectrometers, including 400, 500 & 600 MHz liquid-
state spectrometers, 300, 400, 600 and 850 MHz solid-state NMR spectrometers.
The 600 MHz solids machine is equipped with a 396 GHz Gyrotron for DNP. A
multipurpose liquids / solids / microimaging 950 MHz spectrometer was
installed early 2021. For the HiSCORE project, a dedicated 400 MHz WB
spectrometer equipped with a 263 GHz CW oscillator is available. All
spectrometers are equipped with a host of commercial and home-built probes.
The hyphenation of superfluidic chromatography and NMR has been achieved. The
group has unique expertise in the development of miniaturized NMR probe
technology.
The MRRC invites applications of
[PhD](https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/636177)s with a degree in chemistry
or physics. We prefer candidates with a good team spirit, who like to work in
an international environment, and are able to collaborate with our partner
groups at the crossroads between chemistry, physics, and engineering. In
particular, we will focus on the:
* Exploration of PHIP-based protocols as potential polarization sources.
* Development of high-fidelity parallel detectors and probe technology capable of rapid sample shuttling and freeze/melt steps.
* Development of hyperpolarization approaches for simultaneous in-line characterization of multiple samples.
* Development and implementation of hyphenated analysis techniques for pharmaco-metabolomics.

PhD Position in Biotechnology/Enzymology/Molecular Biology |
We are inviting highly motivated, interest-driven and hard-working researchers
(m/f) holding a master’s degree or equivalent in any suitable field to apply
for a PhD position.
**The Project**
The Biocatalysis and Biosensor Group
([www.ludwiglab.eu](http://www.ludwiglab.eu)) at BOKU – University of Natural
Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria
([www.boku.at.ac](http://www.boku.at.ac)) studies fungal oxidoreductases and
their application in biocatalysis and biosensing. The extracellular
hemoflavoenzyme cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is widespread among wood-
degrading fungi where it is considered to be a key enzyme of the oxidative
machinery responsible for the efficient degradation of lignocellulosic
biomass. Recent phylogenetic analysis revealed that CDHs are divided into four
distinct classes. While members of Class I and Class II have been investigated
intensively and are successfully applied in various fields, no member of Class
III and Class IV could be isolated and characterized so far.
The successful applicant for this position will identify cdhIII genes from
sequence databases and will perform a detailed in silico analysis
(phylogenetics – MEGA X, PhyML, homology modeling, dockings, etc.). In close
cooperation with our project partners under the supervision of Dr. Marina
Kolomytseva (Skryabin Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of
Microorganisms) and the All-Russian Collection of Microorganism (VKM),
sequences encoding for CDHIIs will be selected and heterologously produced
using different expression strategies (Pichia pastoris, CSTR, etc.). After
successful production the physicochemical, structural and spectral properties
of the obtained CDHs will be investigated using physical and biochemical
methods (steady-state and stopped flow spectroscopy, differential scanning
calorimetry, isothermal titration calorimetry, etc.). Furthermore,
bioelectrochemical properties will be examined electrochemically using
different electrode architectures and techniques (cyclic voltammetry, square-
wave voltammetry and amperometry) to evaluate the suitability of this novel
class of enzymes for biosensors and biocatalytic applications.
**Funding and Starting Date**
The PhD position is funded for 3 years by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF
Project I 5299) as international joint project in cooperation with the Russian
Science Foundation. The successful candidate will receive the regular Austrian
universities PhD contract (B1) with a monthly gross salary of 2228.60 €
(payable 14 times per year). The contract includes Austrian social security
and health insurance. The position is available from Oct. 1, 2021 and is to be
filled as soon as possible.
**Contact**

Research Fellow |
Post Summary
Applications are invited for a fully funded Postdoctoral Research Fellow
position in Trinity’s Viral Immunology Research Group
(), to study on the
Immunology of COVID-19. The research will be carried out in the School of
Biochemistry and Immunology, which is housed in the state-of-the-art Trinity
Biomedical Sciences Institute (TBSI) at Trinity College Dublin.
Our research focuses on the immune evasion mechanisms of viruses. We
investigate how the innate immune system senses viruses via pathogen
recognition receptors, leading to intracellular signalling and the subsequent
production of inflammatory and anti-viral cytokines. We are particularly
interested in how Type 1 Interferons signal via the JAK/STAT pathway, leading
to the upregulation of hundreds of anti-viral genes and the subsequent
clearance of viral infection. We have a specific interest in understanding how
viruses evade and block these anti-viral and proinflammatory immune
mechanisms.
This project will focus on investigating the innate immune responses to SARS-
CoV-2 and how the virus blocks responses to Type 1 Interferon. In particular,
the project will examine the IFN responses in immune and epithelial cells,
using both primary human cells from infected patients and primary immune cells
and cell lines infected with replicating SARS-CoV-2.
The Stevenson lab and much of Trinity’s COVID-19 research programme is
situated in the Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute, a global centre of
excellence for Immunology research
([www.tcd.ie/biosciences](http://www.tcd.ie/biosciences)). Within TBSI, all
the necessary facilities required, including CL3 labs, are available for the
project.
Salary: Appointments will be made on SFI Postdoctoral Researcher (level 2A)
salary scale (€37,222- €43,029), depending on experience and in line with
current Government pay policy. Appointment will be made no higher than point

homeostasis.”
Project description: Great majority of proteins that build mitochondria are
encoded in the nuclear genome, synthesized by cytosolic ribosomes in precursor
forms and actively transported to their target location in mitochondria.
Recent studies, with the major contribution of our group, showed that the
proteasome plays an important role in the quality control of proteins
transported to mitochondria and that proteasome inhibitors have therapeutic
potential against some mitochondrial diseases. The aim of this project is to
explore the influence of proteasomal inhibition on fully functional and
defective mitochondria.

Project title: “Mitochondrial import pathways of viral proteins.”
Project description:
Mitochondria are a vital intersection of multiple metabolic pathways and an
information platform that integrates signaling for apoptosis and the innate
immunity. Therefore it is not surprising that multiple viruses trim functions
of mitochondria to their own needs. In some cases this interaction requires
import of viral proteins to mitochondria but molecular mechanisms of these
phenomena remain poorly understood. We plan to explore and characterize
mechanisms of translocation of viral proteins to mitochondria.

Project title: “Effects of proteasome inhibition on mitochondrial
homeostasis.”
Project description:
Great majority of proteins that build mitochondria are encoded in the nuclear
genome, synthesized by cytosolic ribosomes in precursor forms and actively
transported to their target location in mitochondria. Recent studies, with the
major contribution of our group, showed that the proteasome plays an important
role in the quality control of proteins transported to mitochondria and that
proteasome inhibitors have therapeutic potential against some mitochondrial
diseases. The aim of this project is to explore the influence of proteasomal
inhibition on fully functional and defective mitochondria.

‘Opto-Biomechanical Eye Research Network’ OBERON - Marie Skłodowska-Curie
Innovative Training Network in Active and Healthy Ageing
**Deadline: 31 th August 2021**
The ‘Opto-Biomechanical Eye Research Network’ OBERON is a Marie Skłodowska-
Curie Action (MSCA) Innovative Training Network (ITN) that will involve
collaboration and secondments between 8 beneficiaries and 5 partners (3
hospitals, 2 industry partners), spanning 8 European countries (United
Kingdom, Belgium, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, Poland, France and the
Netherlands) in a four-year (2021-2025) programme of interdisciplinary and
cross-national doctoral education.
OBERON aims to create a unique, biologically viable and physiologically
relevant modelling platform describing the interactions between the optical
and mechanical properties of the eye so that it can be adapted and used for
investigation and enhancing treatment for a wide range of ocular conditions.
OBERON offers a total of 15 PhD projects. This job announcement refers to
three remaining positions:
**Project ESR-2 (UBERN)**
_Topic:_ Material characterization of cornea, sclera and lens in healthy eyes
with age
_Objective_ : To assess the inter-individual and age-related differences in
material properties of the eye by applying optical coherence elastography to a
large cohort of healthy individuals. Furthermore, the influence of behavioural
and environmental factors (e.g. sunlight exposure, smoking habits, hormonal
effects etc.) will be studied. The project will involve transforming an
experimental measurement procedure for in vivo application. The successful
candidate will be based in UBERN with 3 planned secondments.
**Project ESR-3 (PWR)**
_Topic:_ Measurement and analysis of eye dynamics and its contribution to
image quality
_Objective:_ To investigate the coupling between optics and mechanics when
under internal ocular muscle forces and how this affects the external shape of
the eye globe. This has wide ranging impact on a number of eye conditions. The
project will involve Finite Element Modelling of these optical and mechanical
interactions. Validation will be made with cohorts of young and old healthy
volunteers, as well as patients with glaucoma. The successful candidate will
be based in WUST with 3 planned secondments. The candidate should have a
degree in Biomedical or Mechanical Engineering, Physics or Computing and
possess computational competency and skills in Finite Element Modelling.
Optical modelling knowledge would be desirable.
**Project ESR-4 (PWR)**
_Topic:_ Measuring the inertial movements of a crystalline lens and its
relation to IOP magnitude
_Objective:_ To determine how the crystalline lens oscillates after a change
in eye gaze as due to inertia by creating a FEM of the lens and ciliary body
and introduce motion and validate the result with data of a cohort of healthy
volunteers. The successful candidate will be based in WUST with 3 planned
secondments.

Postdoctoral Researcher in physical chemistry of solid-state formulations of
proteins |
## **Post-doc in** physical chemistry of solid-state formulations of proteins
This project is a part of the NextBioForm consortium that involves several
universities and companies. The consortium aims at building a well-renowned,
globally competitive sustainable national center for development of biologics.
In this project, we will investigate the structural and thermodynamic changes
in proteins and probiotics upon dehydration in the presence of pharmaceutical
excipients. Furthermore, we plan to study structural changes in semi-dry
protein formulations that occur upon heating to temperatures that typically
lead to protein denaturation. The main techniques involved in the project will
be thermal analysis and water sorption techniques such as DSC, sorption
calorimetry and humidity-scanning QCM-D. Together with scattering techniques
such as SAXS and SANS they will be used to develop understanding of mechanisms
of destabilization of proteins in the dry state and the effects of excipients.
The project will be performed in collaboration with MAX IV (CoSAXS beamline).
The applicant is primarily employed to conduct research but teaching on
undergraduate and/or graduate level can also be a part of the work duties. The
applicant is furthermore expected to take responsibility for the maintenance
of the instruments involved and to be active by supervising postgraduate
students and fellow scientists in the techniques. In addition, the applicant
should (when applicable) be responsible for contacts with involved industry
partners and is also expected to take part in applications for external
funding to support research activities.
## **Qualifications**
**Specific requirements for this position:**
The successful candidate should have a PhD in physical chemistry or biophysics
(or a subject closely related to this) and have a good track record in
physical chemistry, surface and colloid chemistry, or pharmacy. Special
considerations will be given to a scientific expertise and a previous hands-on
experience in the following methods: DSC, synchrotron SAXS or SANS (including
modelling), microcalorimetry, ITC, TGA, DVS, QCM-D. Documented excellent level
of English (understanding, speaking and writing) is essential. Experience in
molecular simulations would be of benefit for the position.
In addition to formal competence, University employees must possess the
personal capacities necessary to perform the duties of the position well and
to represent the University in the best possible way. The candidate should
have the ability to work in a team and collaborate with people in
complementary disciplines. Previous experience from working in research
projects that involved both industry and academia is highly valued. |

Design and preparation of homogenous glycoconjugates for vaccine purpose
Bioconjugates are finding more and more applications in materials and
medicine. Among them, the glycoconjugate vaccines formed from polysaccharide
antigens linked to a so-called carrier protein are still obtained in a largely
empirical manner and only allow the recruitment of a small population of
immune cells. The successful candidate will produce in E. coli proteins
carrying bioorthogonal functions by mutagenesis or incorporation of unnatural
amino acid strategies. She/He will next assemble the modified proteins
together with synthetic oligosaccharides and adjuvant in order to obtain fully
homogeneous self-adjuvanted glycoconjugate vaccines. The immunogenicity of
these molecular glycoconjugates will be evaluated in a model of pneumococcal
infection within national collaborations. |

CNRS International PhD (F/M) |
The Centre de recherches sur la pensée antique or Centre Léon Robin is a
research unit specialising in ancient philosophy under the dual supervision of
the CNRS and Sorbonne University, with an interest in the transmission of
ancient thought, particularly in the Middle Ages, Arabic and Latin.
The centre has a dozen researchers, 5 professors and 2 emeritus, 4 ITAs, about
twenty PhD students and currently two post-docs. The doctoral students are
registered with the Faculty of Letters of Sorbonne-University.
The doctorate is an international one, in cooperation with the Institut
français du Proche-Orient (Beirut, Lebanon).
The will in Al-Ghazali.
The present thesis project aims to understand the elements that contributed,
in the history of philosophy, particularly in the Arab world, to the
transition towards modern concepts, through the philosophical work of Imam al-
Ghazali (known in the Middle Ages, in Europe, under the name of Algazel).
Indeed, the Platonic, Aristotelian and Neoplatonic conceptions, whose critique
marked the advent of modernity, were rightly deconstructed and criticised by
Ghazalian thought. This critique is what will mark a decisive stage in the
evolution of philosophical thought that this thesis project aims to highlight.
Three elements, contained in the Ghazalian critique of the lˇancient system,
argue in favour of this thesis:
1) The critique of reason, which in the Greek system occupied the place of
ontological foundation.
2) The criticism of the determinism of causality.
3) The critique of metaphysics.
This de-constructive phase of the Ghazalian system underlies the existence of
another existential principle and cosmic and natural organisation, which we
will also analyse, understand and grasp in its theological, philosophical,
methodological and epistemological consequences. This founding principle of
existence is that of the will.
Understanding the way in which Imam al-Ghazali operates this philosophical and
theological reconfiguration is likely to help us grasp the issues at stake in
the medieval and contemporary Arab-Muslim intellectual debate, since the
elements raised by his reflections continue to irrigate, even today, the
disputes and discussions between thinkers (al-Jabiri, Taha Abdurahman, al-
Masîri, al-Marzouki) on questions as decisive as those of the relations
between the spiritual and the temporal.
In order to grasp the scope of Ghazali's philosophical thought and his
contribution to philosophy in general, it will be necessary to examine his
conception of the will in the light of the ancients (Aristotle and Plato) and
the moderns (Descartes and Kant), via the Arab philosophers who preceded him
(Avicenna) and succeeded him (Averroes).
The present research project does not aim at anachronistically making Ghazali
a modern avant-gardist, nor does it seek to find in him what corresponds to
our modern categories of thought. The challenge is rather to understand his
reflections, their contribution and their innovation, in the light of his
cultural and historical context on the one hand, and of the long history of
philosophy, of which he represents a pivotal stage, on the other hand. |

Post-doctoral position in NMR studies of gas diffusion in nanoporous materials |
With the support of the two permanent members of the Paris research team and
in connection with the Russian collaborators the recruited researcher will
mainly be in charge or performing NMR and MRI experiments in Paris at low (mT)
field and room temperature. Helium-3 will be used as a probe gas and apparent
diffusion will be measured in porous systems such as ordered aerogels,
nanopowders, etc. The gas will be hyperpolarised with laser optical pumping
for high sensitivity. The main activities will therefore include the
preparation of measurement cells containing the porous samples (from Russia),
the polarisation of helium-3 gas using the in-house polarising system, the
design and management of NMR sequences (with a Tecmag console), and the
postprocessing of acquired data. It is also expected that numerical
simulations of restricted diffusion based on existing codes will be used to
fully interpret results. Finally, the recruited researcher will to contribute
to the communication and publication of all results.
The recruited person will centrally contribute at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel
(CNRS, ENS, SU, Collège de France, Paris, France) to a research project
carried out jointly with the MRS Laboratory (KFU, Kazan, Russian Federation)
on MAgnetic Resonance studies of Gas diffusion In Nanoporous materials (the
MARGIN project). Through a detailed characterization of gas diffusion
mechanisms in porous media, this research is in particular expected to yield
results on the influence of the attractive wall potential on molecular gas
dynamics, which is overlooked in standard diffusion models. Additional
expected outcomes might be relevant for open questions in fundamental physics
in which non-standard magnetic interactions with confining walls are currently
revisited.
Laboratoire Kastler Brossel hosts teams performing research on a wide range of
topics, mostly focused on quantum physics and applications. The 'Polarised
Helium' team pursues research at the ENS Physics Department both on the
physics of noble gas hyperpolarisation and on the use of hyperpolarised gases
for applications, especially in low-field NMR and MRI. It has strong
collaborative links on these topics with the MRS team in Kazan and also with
groups in Germany and Canada, as well as in the Paris area in the frame of a
research project on noble gas hyperpolarisation and NMR at 7 Teslas (the
HELPING project, 2021-2026). |

### Reference Number 5380
New sources of strategic metals such as copper and zinc are direly needed to
facilitate the energy transition via metal-intensive ‘green technologies’.
Sediment-hosted metal deposits within rift basins constitute major resources
of zinc, lead, and copper, but the geodynamic controls on their formation are
still poorly understood. This project investigates the formation of sediment-
hosted metal deposits by linking lithosphere-scale thermomechanical models to
basin-scale fluid flow simulations. Modelling the thermal and mechanical
architecture during basin evolution of intra-continental and back-arc rifts
will provide physics-based scenarios for subsurface fluid flow and associated
metal mobilization, transport and precipitation. Models are constrained by
multidisciplinary observations from key sites in Canada and Australia. The
ultimate goal of this project is to elucidate fundamental processes of metal
deposit formation in order to develop better exploration strategies for
undiscovered ores.
This project will be a joint initiative of GFZ’s Section 3.1 ”Inorganic and
Isotope Geochemistry“ (Prof. Dr. S. Gleeson, Priv. Doz. Dr. Philipp Weis and
Dr. Joe Magnall) and Section 2.5 “Geodynamic Modelling” (Priv. Doz. Dr. Sascha

PhD Candidate in Physical Chemistry/ Molecular Physics |
_Do you want to use state-of-the-art research facilities and use your
knowledge of chemistry to generate new insights? As a PhD Candidate, you will
examine molecular structures of carbocations and compare your findings to what
is known about organic chemistry. You will work at the Max Planck Society,
which is an incubator for novel ideas and will train you with the tools of
tomorrow_.
HFML-FELIX at Radboud University in Nijmegen (Netherlands) is looking for a
PhD candidate to work on the project 'Carbocations in organic and
astrochemistry: investigation by IR ion spectroscopy' funded by the Max Planck
- Radboud University Center for Infrared Free-Electron Laser Spectroscopy.
In many organic chemical reactions, carbocationic species have been invoked as
intermediates, but they are also often encountered in the gas phase, for
instance in mass spectrometric analyses or as constituents of the interstellar
medium. The molecular structure of carbocations and whether the charge is
localised or delocalised, is strongly influenced by the medium, condensed or
gaseous. You will investigate the molecular structure of carbocations in the
isolation of the gas phase and compare this to what is known or postulated in
organic chemistry. To establish ion structures, you will apply a combination
of infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, as well quantum-chemical
calculations.
Throughout the project, you will collaborate closely with a PhD student from
Prof. G. von Helden's group at the Fritz-Haber-Institut in Berlin, who is
working on parallel projects using similar, but not the same, experimental
methodologies.
As part of your PhD training, you will perform duties as a teaching assistant
in our Physics and Astronomy educational programme, supervising BSc and MSc
students within the context of your project. |

PhD Candidate in Condensed Matter Physics |
_Do you want to contribute to insights that can help develop next-generation
magnetic storage ? As a PhD Candidate, you will work towards unearthing the
possibilities of ultrafast magnetization reversal by resonantly exciting
phonons. You will work at the Max Planck Society, which is an incubator for
novel ideas and will train you with the tools of tomorrow._
Discovering ways to control the magnetic state of media with the lowest
possible dissipation of energy and at the highest speed could be of utmost
importance for the development of next-generation magnetic storage. The goal
of this project will be to investigate the possibilities of ultrafast
magnetisation reversal by resonantly exciting phonons. For the excitation,
infrared-terahertz radiation from the FELIX free electron laser will be used.
The first stage of the project will be to develop a two-colour pump-probe
single-shot imaging setup. In this project we concentrate on an approach where
a small resonant excitation of a precisely selected mode can trigger a
macroscopic change of state. To achieve and microscopically understand this
non-invasive control of the responsible order parameters, we study the role of
phonons in dynamic symmetry breaking, their anharmonic coupling and their
general impact on the ferroic order.
You will collaborate closely with a PhD candidate under the supervision of Dr
A. Paarmann and Dr S.F. Maehrlein at the Fritz-Haber-Institut in Berlin
(Germany), who are working on polarisation resolved nonlinear microscopy in
order to derive a full understanding of the phonon-breaking symmetry in
ferroic crystals.

PhD Candidate: Chefsache: Leadership and Control in EU Climate Change Policy |
We invite applications for a PhD position. The PhD project investigates
current and recent processes of EU decision and policy making to combat
climate change, in relation to the European Green Deal. The focus is on
tracing EU level dynamics at and around the European Council, and how national
political and administrative actors seek to influence and control these
dynamics. For more details see the [project
outline.](https://www.ru.nl/werken-bij/alle-vacatures/vacatures-
uitgebreid/phd-candidate-chefsache-leadership-and-control-eu/?reload=true)
This PhD position is part of the research project 'Chefsache, Coping with the
European Council at the EU and national levels' coordinated by Dr Sandrino
Smeets, Prof. Ellen Mastenbroek and Dr Duncan Liefferink. This is a
multidisciplinary project based on cooperation between the departments of
Public Administration, Research Methodology, and Environmental Governance and
Politics (EGP) of the Nijmegen School of Management.
The Chefsache project studies the increased role and influence of the European
Council in shaping and steering EU decision and policy making on three major
issues or challenges of today: climate, migration and COVID-19. Instead of
focusing on the political leaders themselves and their summits, the project
provides in-depth process level reconstructions and analyses of the decision
and policy making dynamics of the European Council and at the lower levels.
The project is based on intensive cooperation with insiders from EU
institutions and national ministries, so as to create a valid, insider
reconstruction of these processes and mechanisms.
The empirical research will be conducted in close cooperation with the daily
supervisor and other members of the research team. You will make use of a
variety of qualitative, quantitative and intervention (action research)
methods, such as case studies, process tracing, content analysis, policy
analysis, interviews, participatory modelling and simulation.
Your tasks will be to develop your own research project within the parameters
of the project, set up and perform data collection (including extensive
fieldwork in Brussels and The Hague), conduct sound analyses, write scientific
articles and complete your PhD thesis in time. You will participate in
conferences, organise and facilitate academic and non-academic workshops and
seminars, and contribute to teaching at the Nijmegen School of Management. |

Crystallisation of molecules at surfaces is a process where the growth
kinetics can be varied in a large range. As a consequence, new unknown
polymorphs can be observed, these phases can have specific technological
relevant properties. The PhD project is related to the effect of chiral
symmetry breaking due to crystallization at surfaces. Molecules which show
chiral symmetry breaking (molecules which can take both types of chirality)
will be deposited at defined surfaces by physical vapour deposition. For that
purpose, a specific thin film deposition system working under high vacuum
conditions have to be constructed and adapted. In a subsequent step the
chirality of the molecular crystals has to be proven. For that purpose,
resonant (or anomalous) X-ray diffraction experiments have to be performed.
The goal of the project is to develop a crystallization method for a defined
molecule / substrate combination which allows a defined chiral symmetry
breaking.
## **Duties and Responsibilities:**
* Installation of a thin film growth chamber working under ultra high vacuum / high vacuum conditions with possibilities of treatment of substrates surfaces and defined deposition of small molecules
* Participation in the scientific tasks of the institute, especially in the performance of X-ray diffraction experiments using in-house equipment as well as the performance of experiments using synchrotron radiation.
* Participation in teaching for courses Bachelor and Master courses in Physics and for the Master course Advanced Materials Science.
* Support of international scientific cooperation, especially with universities in Belgium collaborating within the excellence initiative 2Dto3D.
* Organisational tasks within the institute

PhD Project "Long Non-coding RNAs in podocyte disorders" (DIE_2) |
Non-coding RNAs play an important role both in cellular biology and physiology
of numerous tissues and have been linked to several renal pathologies. Large-
scale datasets generated by novel sequencing technologies have shown that the
majority of transcripts does indeed not possess any coding potential. Among
these non-coding transcripts, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have gained
increasing attention due to numerous studies underlining their importance in
organ development and disease. However, a large gap has remained between the
growing knowledge on lncRNA expression and the question how these transcripts
impact on organ function and disease on the molecular level. It is in fact
this knowledge which would be crucial for a better understanding of their
contribution to human disease as well as their exploitation as potential
therapeutic targets. As to the role of lncRNAs in kidney disease in general
only very little is known; regarding podocyte cell biology and associated
diseases such as FSGS we lack virtually any insight at all. As a consequence,
the emerging field of lncRNAs bears a great potential for identifying novel
diagnostic and therapeutic targets by unraveling associated regulatory
processes and their impact on renal pathologies. To reach this goal, we have
established a bioinformatic pipeline (CALINCA) which allows for the automated
identification of lncRNAs that are podocyte-specific, conserved in evolution
and dysregulated in FSGS models. Based on these analyses, we have selected
several lncRNAs as promising candidates in the pathogenesis of FSGS and have
both created novel knockout mouse lines as well as identified optimal cell
culture models for these genes.
In this PhD project, the successful bioinformatics applicant will be based in
the Dieterich Lab ([www.dieterichlab.org](http://www.dieterichlab.org)) and be
part of the DFG-funded clinical research unit 329 on Disease Pathways in
Podocyte injury. He/She will help to advance our understanding of the
molecular function of ncRNAs in focal-segmental glomerulosclerosis through
innovate computational approaches. Along these lines, He/She will enhance and
improve our bioinformatic workflow (CALINCA). |

PhD fellowship in RASOPTA at the Department of Plant and Environmental
Sciences |
A 3-year PhD fellowship is available at the Department of Plant and
Environmental Sciences (PLEN), Section of Microbial Ecology and Biotechnology
(MEB), University of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Denmark, with an expected
start January 1st 2022.
The fellowship is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No
956481.
About RASOPTA
The RASOPTA consortium consists of enthusiastic academic researchers and
innovative non-academic partners, which together will train a new generation
of scientists with expertise in sustainable and healthy fish production with
minimum water consumption. Production of fish in recirculated aquaculture
systems (RAS) requires experiences from several scientific disciplines, but
there is need to bridge existing knowledge gaps between these disciplines to
ensure a high water quality, healthy and non-stressed fish, and a supreme
consumer quality of the fish. Therefore, in RASOPTA state-of-the-art training
in important disciplines within RAS technology will be provided by 10
universities and research institutes and 8 non-academic partners in 8
countries. Primary goals of the training are to improve microbial processes to
maintain a high water quality, to identify flavour compounds that may affect
consumer preference for fish produced in RAS, and to ensure an optimum health
and welfare of the fish. The research also aims at developing a DNA-based chip
for early warning of quality and health of the fish. To reach these
interdisciplinary goals in RASOPTA, the consortium will train 12 Early Stage
Researchers (ESRs) in disciplines ranging from chemistry, microbiology and
molecular biology, to physiology and pathology of fish.
About your project
The PhD (ESR) project at PLEN-MEB is part of a work package on microbiology
and chemistry of off-flavour dynamics and will be carried out in collaboration
with three other ESRs, enrolled at Dept. of Food Sciences, University of
Copenhagen (FOOD), Friedrich-Alexander-Universität, Dept. Chemistry &
Pharmacy, Germany (FAU), and the research institute Fraunhofer, Inst. for
Process Engineering & Packaging, Freising, Germany (IVV).
At PLEN, important tasks for the PhD student will be to identify
microorganisms that produce off-flavours in RAS and characterize their biology
and ecology. Focus will be on bacteria that produce the off-flavour compound
geosmin (produced by selected bacteria in RAS). The experimental procedures
will include a wide range of disciplines, ranging from classical cultivation
methods to molecular and bioinformatic analyses of genes involved in the
geosmin synthesis.
The microbiological information obtained at PLEN-MEB will be related actual
composition of off-flavour compounds in different types of RAS at FOOD, while
IVV will study composition of fish feed and its impact on off-flavour
production. At FAU, sensory profiles and consumer preference for taste in fish
will be characterized.
Interactions between academic partners and between universities and industries
are important elements in RASOPTA. To ensure collaboration between the
European partners in the project, stays at FAU (analysis of off-flavour
dynamics in German RAS), at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology
NTNU (relations between microbial water treatment and off-flavours), and at
producers of sturgeon (France) and salmon (Denmark) to study dynamics of off-
flavour microbiology in large-scale RAS facilities, are included in the
project. Duration of the stays is estimated to 3 months.
The candidate will be enrolled at the PhD School of Science (Graduate Program
in Natural Sciences, [www.science.ku.dk/phd](http://www.science.ku.dk/phd)/)
at the University of Copenhagen. The graduate program requires the student to
obtain 30 ECTS points during the three-year period in order to graduate.

8 — Candidates ranking and voting methodology:
8.1 — Each member of the jury applies a value, on the scale of 0-100, for each
criteria or aspects regarding each applicant admitted in absolute merit.
8.2 — The result of applying the “curriculum evaluation” method is expressed
on a numerical scale of 0-100 and it is calculated by weighing each criterion
with the corresponding weight which provides each item with a score. Each item
has its own weight which is used to calculate the final score.
Expressed as a formula, the final result (FR) is calculated as follows:
FR = P1*(C11*P11+C12*P12+C13*P13+C14*P14) +P2*(C21*P21) + P3*(C31*P31)
+P4*(C41*P41)
8.3 — The ranking of candidates should be founded on the assessment made based
on the criteria and parameters of assessment and corresponding weighing
factors listed in this Notice.
8.4 — Before voting, each member of the jury presents a written document, that
will be attached to the minutes of the meeting, with the order of the
applicants, duly founded, taking into consideration the previous paragraph.
8.5 — On the various votes, each jury member should respect the order
presented, no abstentions are allowed.
8.6 — The jury will use the following voting method in order to obtain an
absolute majority in the final ranking of candidates:
The first vote is intended to determine the applicant to be put in first
place. If an applicant receives more than half the votes of the members of the
jury present at the meeting, they will be placed in first place. If the
applicant in first place is not determined, the voting will be repeated, but
only among the candidates who received enough votes to be considered for first
place, once the applicant least voted in the first round is removed. If there
is more than one applicant in the position of least voted there will be
another vote with only these applicants in order to determine who is to be
eliminated. For this vote, the jurors vote for the applicant who has the
lowest ranking, the applicant with the most votes is eliminated. If at this
point there continues to be a tie among two or more applicants, the president
of the jury will decide which of them is to be eliminated. Once this
elimination is made, the jury returns their attention to the first vote, but
only with the remaining candidates. The process is repeated until one
applicant receives more than half the votes for first place. The process is
repeated for second place and so on until an ordered list of all candidates is
complete.
9 — Participation of interested parties and the decision:
9.1 — The final ranking is communicated to candidates by e-mail for their

PhD Project "CircTools 2.0 – one stop solution for circular RNA research"
(DIE_3) |
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) originate through back-splicing events from linear
primary transcripts, are resistant to exonucleases, are not polyadenylated and
have been shown to be highly specific for cell type and developmental stage.
CircRNA detection starts from high-throughput sequencing data and is a multi-
stage bioinformatics process yielding sets of potential circRNA candidates
that require further analyses.
Our current circtools solution provides researchers with a harmonized workflow
that covers different stages of in silico circRNA analyses, from prediction to
first functional insights. Circtools is an open source software suite that
encourages users to contribute new modules, which they might find helpful in
their own research. Within this project, we aim to address three key
objectives, that we hope will further increase the impact circtools has on the
circRNA community.
Circtools in its current version (
) covers all major steps of computational circRNA analysis using Illumina RNA-
seq data. However, from own experiments as well as valuable feedback from
collaborators, it will be necessary to add new functionality the workflow
(objective 1). Thus, we intent to extend the module repertoire of circtools
with additional algorithms and the capability to handle new data types such as
long read, single molecule and single cell sequencing approaches. Automatic
code tests performed via continuous integration (CI) methods are a fundamental
part of these efforts. Although we provide a detailed step-by-step
documentation and built-in help of circtools, our command line-based approach
is still an inhibiting factor for researchers with limited experience of
command line tools. As a first step, the primer as well as the KnockDown
design module will be turned into an additional web application (objective 2),
that allows researchers to easily use both function without the need of
command line work or any kind of installation.
Additionally, the circtools workflow itself will be frequently used in our own
projects, which are mostly in the cardiovascular setting, and you will drive
the advancement of this endeavor (objective 3). |

Postdoctoral Researcher |
The recruited postdoctoral researcher will contribute to the ERC-funded
project "SYNTHLIVES" (CF 3537), led by Prof. Filipe Calvão. Overall, the
postdoctoral researcher will contribute to research on automated mining
technologies; digitalization efforts in mining contexts; and lab-grown mineral
production and its intersection with sustainable development.
**About the project**
“[Synthetic Lives: The Futures of
Mining](https://www.graduateinstitute.ch/research-centres/centre-
international-environmental-studies/synthetic-lives-futures-mining)”
(SYNTHLIVES) investigates the emergent role of synthetic laboratories,
automated operations, and digital technologies in natural resources economies.
Empirically, the project examines i) new assemblages of man-made synthetic
substances; ii) natural resource extraction divested of human labor; and iii)
predictive, monitoring, and tracking projects governed by algorithms and other
digital processes. The project contributes to these strands of research
through three case studies: synthetic laboratories, automated mines, and
digital and data-driven mining activities. Interlacing these three axes,
Synthetic Lives examines the following two main research questions: First, if
these transformations redefine our understanding of the natural world, human
mediation, and human intermediaries, what is the role of humans and non-human
nature in increasingly synthetic, automated, and digital mining economies?
Second, what are the political, epistemological, ecological, and economic
consequences of a future that promises to be increasingly enmeshed in
synthetic properties, autonomous machines, and digital technologies?
This project is led by the Principal Investigator (PI), Filipe Calvão,
Associate Professor in Anthropology and Sociology (ANSO) at the Graduate
Institute and is hosted at [the Centre for International Environmental Studies
(CIES)](https://www.graduateinstitute.ch/cies). The candidate will be fully
integrated in the life of the [Department of
ANSO](https://www.graduateinstitute.ch/anso) and affiliated with the CIES.
The project will investigate new technologies of mining and extraction drawing
mainly on ethnographic methods including participant observation and
interviews, as well as archival research and document analysis. The selected
candidate will contribute to one or more of the following research foci: i)
automated mining technologies; ii) digitalization efforts in the production of
minerals, ranging from gemstones to so-called transition minerals; iii) lab-
grown mineral production and its intersection with sustainable development.
**Mission and activities**
* Shape the content and the direction of the project within the planned research lines;
* Conduct research for the project, including ethnographic fieldwork;
* Collaborate with and guide the project-associated PhD student / MA research assistants;
* Write single-authored and co-authored scholarly texts;

Universität Regensburg
Faculty of Law invites applications for a junior professorship for Civil and
Commercial Law (grade W1 with tenure-track leading to professorship for life
at W3) for a period of three years in the first phase with the legal status of
temporary civil servant (Beamtenverhältnis auf Zeit), to be appointed as soon
as possible. The tenure-track professorship is supported by the joint state-
federal program for the advancement of young scientists ("TenureTrack-
Programm des Bundes und der Länder"). The tenure-track professorship aims to
forge transparent pathways for young academics so they can plan their
advancement to a permanent professorship. For this reason, we explicitly
encourage applications from junior academics who have only recently been
awarded their doctorate.We are looking for a highly qualified scientist with
an innovative scientific profile, outstanding scientific achievements and
extraordinary potential for their further academic career. Universität
Regensburg offers the prospect, upon positive tenure evaluation, of
transferring to a permanent position as a W3-grade professor with the legal
status of civil servant for life (Beamtenverhältnis auf Lebenszeit). The
requirements for the tenure evaluation can be found at . Successful applicants (f/m/d), early in their
academic careers, are well-experienced and renowned for their research in
civil law and private commercial law. They have a special focus on legal
issues related to the digitalization of the economy, preferably in
intellectual property law (IP law) with its links to competition law and civil
law. The faculty is renowned nationwide with study and research focusses in
"Law of the Information Society" and "Business Law" with a wide range of
research and teaching activities in these areas. In addition, a newly
developed LL.B. degree program in Digital Law is scheduled to start in the
winter semester 2021/22. Applicants (m/f/d) will participate in teaching
courses in the subject areas mentioned above and will contribute to their
further development and agenda; if necessary, they will develop additional
teaching formats in the field of digitalization law. Furthermore, applicants
(m/f/d) will contribute to the further profiling of the faculty in research on
business law aspects of digitalization; they are willing to engage in
interdisciplinary cooperation and to participate in third-party funded
projects, especially on research topics related to digitalization. In this
field, the university as a whole is working on a sustainable development of
its existing strengths. Since Universität Regensburg currently establishes a
faculty for computer science and data science, the applicant (m/f/d) will seek
cooperation with colleagues in that new faculty. |

**Universität Regensburg**
**Faculty of Law invites applications for a junior professorship for Civil and
Commercial Law** **(grade W1 with tenure-track leading to professorship for
life at W3** )
for a period of three years in the first phase with the legal status of
temporary civil servant (Beamtenverhältnis auf Zeit), to be appointed as soon
as possible. The tenure-track professorship is supported by the joint state-
federal program for the advancement of young scientists ("TenureTrack-
Programm des Bundes und der Länder"). The tenure-track professorship aims to
forge transparent pathways for young academics so they can plan their
advancement to a permanent professorship. For this reason, we explicitly
encourage applications from junior academics who have only recently been
awarded their doctorate. We are looking for a highly qualified scientist with
an innovative scientific profile, outstanding scientific achievements and
extraordinary potential for their further academic career. Universität
Regensburg offers the prospect, upon positive tenure evaluation, of
transferring to a permanent position as a W3-grade professor with the legal

law) with its links to competition law and civil law. The faculty is renowned
nationwide with study and research focusses in "Law of the Information
Society" and "Business Law" with a wide range of research and teaching
activities in these areas. In addition, a newly developed LL.B. degree program
in Digital Law is scheduled to start in the winter semester 2021/22.
Applicants (m/f/d) will participate in teaching courses in the subject areas
mentioned above and will contribute to their further development and agenda;
if necessary, they will develop additional teaching formats in the field of
digitalization law. Furthermore, applicants (m/f/d) will contribute to the
further profiling of the faculty in research on business law aspects of
digitalization; they are willing to engage in interdisciplinary cooperation
and to participate in third-party funded projects, especially on research
topics related to digitalization. In this field, the university as a whole is
working on a sustainable development of its existing strengths. Since
Universität Regensburg currently establishes a faculty for computer science
and data science, the applicant (m/f/d) will seek cooperation with colleagues
in that new faculty.
Prerequisites for taking up the position are, in accordance with Art. 14
Bavarian University Statt Act (BayHSchPG), alongside the general conditions
from public sector employment law, a completed university degree, pedagogic
suitability, and particular aptitude for academic work, generally shown by a
doctoral degree.
Applicants must have changed universities following the doctorate or have been
academically active for at least two years somewhere other than Universität
Regensburg before the application.
Universität Regensburg is particularly committed to reconciling family and
working life (for more information, see ). To fulfill the equality directive and
increase the number of female professors, we explicitly encourage applications
from qualified women.
In case of essentially similar suitability, applicants with severe
disabilities will be preferentially selected.
The prerequisites for appointment und er civil servant law are based on the
provisions of the Bavarian Public Service Code (BayBG) and the Bavarian
University Staff Act (BayHSchPG).
Applications containing the normal documents (resume, certificates, list of
publications with copies of the most important papers) should be submitted,
preferentially electronically
**By September 30th, 2021**
to the Dean of the Faculty of Law of Universität Regensburg. The application

Research Assistant (PhD student or Postdoc) in Smart Fuzzing |
We are looking to hire a **research assistant (PhD student or postdoc)** from
**August 2021 or as soon as possible** , on a new project at federal salary
level **TV-ÖD E13** (approx. 52–65 kEUR depending on experience). The project
is initially funded until November 2023.
Fuzzing is one of the most successful contemporary methods for finding bugs
and vulnerabilities in software. Its basic idea is attractively simple: feed
random data to a program until it crashes or exhibits some other form of
erroneous behavior. Now just what kind of random input to generate is an area
of active research. Feedback-driven mutation-based fuzzing in particular is
responsible for much of the success in recent years. Here, coverage data is
collected for each run, and if some input is found to cover interesting new
ground, it is used to spawn future generations of inputs. Because source code
generally isn't available for many interesting settings, heuristics have to
make do with binary-level coverage feedback.
In parallel work, we have built a machine learning system for recovering
metadata such as function names for binaries. Because this metadata is lost
during compilation, it is immensely valuable for _reverse engineering_. In
this project, we will investigate the use of metadata (both original and
automatically inferred) in _fuzzing_. Using function names and arbitrary
labels for code regions, we will adjust seed prioritization in fuzzing as well
as improve crash reporting and bucketing. This research will be conducted in
the context of a larger project on fuzzing, which involves building and
running an experimental fuzzing infrastructure on over 1000 CPU cores. |

Laser Ionisation & Spectroscopy of Actinides - ESR7 - In-gas-jet resonance
ionization spectroscopy of actinides |
The heaviest elements of Mendeleev's table form an intriguing research
laboratory of interest for nuclear, atomic and astrophysics, but information
on the nuclear and atomic structure is scarce. Recently a new method to
perform laser ionization spectroscopy studies in a noble gas-jet environment
was proposed. This should allow to study the atomic structure of short-lived,
weakly produced isotopes from the heavy elements including nobelium,
lawrencium and deduce nuclear observables that will validate state-of-the-art
nuclear model calculations.
The in-gas-jet laser ionization and spectroscopy (IGLIS) method, based on
embedding the radioactive atoms of interest in a supersonic gas jet produced
by a ‘De Laval’ nozzle, is currently under development at KU Leuven and will
be installed for studies of isotopes in the actinide region and beyond.
Experimental campaigns will take place at the GSI-SHIP setup and at the new
heavy-ion accelerator and Super Separator Spectrometer (S3) currently under
construction at GANIL (France). The recently commissioned laser and mass
separator laboratory at KU Leuven is dedicated to the study of the IGLIS
method for stable or long-lived radioactive isotopes as well as for short-
lived isotopes produced as alpha-decay products from long-lived actinide
sources.
With this position, the candidate will characterize and optimize the De Laval
nozzles for supersonic gas jet formation. The aim is to produce a homogeneous,
low-temperature gas jet and to perform laser ionization spectroscopy with
spectral resolution of the order of 100 MHz. Further, she/he will investigate
and characterize efficient, selective and sensitive atomic ionization schemes
of actinides in gaseous environments. The combined knowledge will be used to
perform laser spectroscopy on short-lived radioactive isotopes from recoil-
alpha sources and perform the first high-resolution on-line laser spectroscopy
measurements on neutron-deficient actinium and thorium isotopes at GANIL-S3.
These results will be compared to state-of-the-art atomic and nuclear model
calculations. |

Research Assistants in System Security: Securing Software Supply Chains |
We are looking to hire two research assistants ( **PhD students** or
**postdocs** ) **as soon as possible** , on a new project at federal salary
level TV-ÖD E13 (approx. 52–65 kEUR depending on experience). The project is
initially funded until November 2023.
Modern software supply chains are large and complex. For instance, installing
a single node.JS package from NPM may recursively pull in hundreds of
dependencies containing code written by thousands of developers. Every modern
programming language has a package management system, and the mantra of "don't
repeat yourself" has led to a proliferation of code dependencies for even
minor functionality. This also leads to a security problem as we effectively
trust every single developer account with push access to those repositories.
There has been an increase in incidents where accounts were taken over and
malicious code implanted into popular packages. This threat is only going to
increase, and future attackers will likely be stealthier than those in the
past.
The goal of this project is to develop techniques for automatic vetting of
open source repositories, in particular for detecting implants of malicious
code in source code. We will use a mix of static and dynamic techniques to
achieve this goal: **fuzzing** or **symbolic execution** for **differential
testing** of program versions, and **modeling of implant code** to detect
dangerous patterns in code repositories using **static analysis**. We are
particularly interested in NPM and **JavaScript** / **WebAssembly** , but
depending on your interests and experience, we may pivot or extend the scope
to **Rust** crates or **C/C++** code submitted to community-driven Linux
package managers. |

Postdoc in Molecular interpretation of the anti-evaporative action of tear
lipids |
The project aims at obtaining a comprehensive picture of the biophysical
properties of biologicallly-relevant interfaces. In particular, we will study
the human Tear Film Lipid Layer and a role of its individual lipid components
in the context of Dry Eye Disease. Moreover, anti-evaporative properties of
ophthalmologic topical drugs will be assessed using in vitro tear film models
with different lipid content. To assess the properties of lipid films, we
combine experimental and computational methods (such as fluorescent microscopy
and Brewster angle microscopy, molecular dynamics simulations). Our
experimental approach is based on Langmuir trough method combined with various
microscopic techniques. We aim at connecting the basic biophysical
characteristics of the studied systems with their biological properties.

Remote Sensing of Land Use/Land Cover Change
in the Baltic Sea Region**
Starting date: 1 October 2021 or soon thereafter
Reference number: 21/Sa29
The position is part of the research project _Spatial-temporal Patterns of
Fragmented Transformations_ within the University’s **Interdisciplinary Centre
for Baltic Sea Region Research** (IFZO, [www.uni-
greifswald.de/ifzo](http://www.uni-greifswald.de/ifzo)). At IFZO we analyze
cooperation- and conflict-driven narratives of futures in the societies of the
Baltic Sea Region concentrating on question and challenges of current urgency.
We seek a highly motivated candidate with a MSc (or equivalent) and a PhD that
focused on remote sensing of land surfaces. We expect a proven interest
(thesis or publication work) in land use and land over change and experience
in handling large amounts of multispectral/-temporal satellite data,
preferably Landsat, Sentinel-2, and Sentinel-1, for mapping land surface
parameters (e.g. with FORCE, Google Earth Engine or CODE-DE). Proficiency in
at least one programming language is a must (preferably Python), as well as an
interest in acquiring new skills in programming and Earth observation data
workflow management. Excellent command of the English language and experience
in the publication of scientific results (proven by at least two first

this context, an existing data cube of level 2 data for Northern Germany shall
be spatially and temporally extended for the countries of the Baltic Sea
Region. Spectral-temporal metrics and interpolated time series are derived
from this data cube and used for the development of machine learning-based
classification and regression models. For these models, new approaches for
spatial and temporal model transfer shall be investigated. The possibility for
developing individual research questions for a thematic focus (e.g. mapping
settlement or peatland dynamics) shall be given. All results (data products,
maps and methods) shall be made publicly available and used for quasi-
operational product generation for the region.
The position may be extended for another 2 years in a separate work package on
interdisciplinary analyses of transformation processes with other IFZO
projects using the generated data products.
We offer a full-time position in an interdisciplinary and international
project context. Payment will be according to the state’s tariff

PhD/PostDoc Position on Haptic Devices (Actuator/Sensor) - Research Associate |
The TU Dresden, Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, at the
Institute of Acoustics and Speech Communication, the Chair of Acoustics and
Haptics offers several research associate positions (PhD / Postdoc) within the
6G-life research hub “Digital transformation and sovereignty of future
communication networks” starting at the earliest possible date. The positions
are limited for three years with the option of extension within the framework
of available funds. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term
Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz-WissZeitVG). The
positions offer the chance to obtain further academic qualification (e.g. PhD
/ habilitation thesis). Subject to personal qualification employees are
remunerated according to salary group E 13 TV-L.
The work includes research activities in the field of haptic devices.
Position 1: The main goal of the project is the development and prototyping of
flexible touch sensors. Sensor flexibility can be achieved by weaving carbon
and polyethylene-based pressure-sensitive materials with conductive materials,
e.g. coated yarns. The suitability of different materials and material
parameters with respect to the integration possibility of resistive and
capacitive touch detection is investigated. Algorithms for the evaluation of
the sensor data will then be developed and optimized with respect to human
perception using psychophysical experiments. The results obtained will be
presented and published in meetings, at conferences and in the form of
scientific papers.
Position 2: The main goal of the project is the development of latency
optimized adaptive haptic actuator solutions and design of haptic signals. In
this project, one haptic output device is developed by combining
electrodynamic actuators and ultrasonic actuators and a second haptic output
device is developed by combining piezoelectric actuators with a force feedback
glove. For this purpose, the advantages and disadvantages of the different
actuator technologies are first analyzed. Then, the actuator parameters,
including weight, size, design, friction will be optimized with respect to
latency and energy consumption. The results will be presented and published in
meetings, at conferences and in the form of scientific papers.
Position 3: The main goal of the project is to design dynamic haptic human-
machine interfaces with bistable electromagnetic or piezo-active actuator
elements - similar to dots of a Braille display. The actuator elements are to
be embedded in a soft substrate or textile to ensure flexible integration.
Finally, the characteristic properties of the actuator elements (individually
and flexibly embedded) will be evaluated experimentally. The obtained results
will be presented and published in meetings, at conferences and in the form of
scientific papers.
Requirements: above-average university degree and/or PhD in electrical
engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, computer science or other
related fields; profound knowledge and experience in the field of haptics
and/or mechatronics; high motivation and independent as well as scientific
working style; open-mindedness for interdisciplinary research and very good
English skills. Candidates who can communicate fluently in both English and
German are preferred. Experience in the field of sensor or actuator
technology, signal processing, and haptic system design is advantageous.

PHD position in paleogenomics of phytoplankton |
The Institute of Biology of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (IBENS) is a
multidisciplinary research center in Biology. IBENS is a mixed ENS-CNRS-INSERM
unit with over 300 staff members working 30 research teams, conveniently
located in the Latin Quarter in downtown Paris.
IBENS researchers cover a wide range of disciplines, including evolutionary
biology, ecology, computational biology, genetics, and comparative genomics.
The host team, Plant and agal genomics directed by Chris Bowler includes six
permanent researchers, four PhDs, 7 postdocs and 2 technicians.
The aim of the group is to understand the influence of the environment on
genomes of plants and marine diatoms.
The candidate will work in close collaboration with Johan Etourneau and Xavier
Crosta (EPOC CNRS UMR5805 – Bordeaux)
To understand how the Earth's biota will be altered by future climate change,
it is essential to assess how organisms have adapted to past changes.
Paleogenomics, first developed for hominins, offers an opportunity to assess
this but has rarely been used in an oceanic context. The PhD project will
analyse ancient DNA extracted from the seabed to bridge the gap between the
deep evolutionary studies of diatom genomes and the global scale studies of
diatom populations in the contemporary ocean revealed by the Tara Oceans
project. Because diatoms leave valuable microfossil and stable isotope
datasets that have been intensively explored as a window into the geological
past, and because diatoms provide superior genome information, they are an
excellent system for the development of ocean paleogenomics. Diatoms are a
major group in the Southern Ocean 'biological pump' and as such are a very
effective means of sequestering atmospheric CO2. They are also a fundamental
link in an extremely sensitive and changing food web. However, the future
evolution of diatoms is highly uncertain due to the lack of data from the
past. In order to overcome this lack of information, this interdisciplinary
project aims to better understand their adaptation to climate change over the
last 10,000 years using sedimentary archives from the North Antarctic
Peninsula. Sediment cores extracted from the Northern Antarctic Peninsula will
be used to extract ancient DNA in an ultra-clean paleogenomics lab. The DNA
will be subjected to deep shotgun sequencing. Ancient diatom DNA will be
identified by bioinformatics, and annotated for taxonomic and functional
characterisation. Changes in community composition will be linked to
biogeochemical and paleoclimatological features through analysis of geological
tracers based on microfossil classification, and stable isotope analysis in
collaboration with colleagues. These analyses will identify the locations of
each climatic feature event and determine the age of the different layers used
for ancient DNA sequencing. As the diatom Chaetoceros is well represented in
the paleo-record, whole genome sequences of existing species will be used as
references for the assembly of ancient genomes. The project will aim to
reconstruct the ancestral states of Chaetoceros genes to determine whether the
species that dominate today have always dominated, and whether positive
selection has occurred at a uniform rate or at specific times over the past
10,000 years of evolutionary history and in response to climate variability.
To do this, sequence information from ancient Chaetoceros genomes will be
compared with the rich data now available on extant species generated by Tara
Oceans. The computational methods developed for the analysis of ancient DNA
should also allow the identification of genes with strong signals of positive
selection, and the age of specific alleles of genes of functional interest
will be determined from a detailed phylogenetic analysis to assess whether
they arose under specific environmental conditions and are still present in
the present ocean. Episodes of positive selection are expected to occur when
population sizes are reduced, and it should be possible to use microfossils of
Chaetoceros species to assess changes in their abundance in the geological
record. Analysis of CpG/CpT transitions (an epigenetic fingerprint) could also
help to assess whether epigenetic processes based on DNA methylation have
played a role in the adaptation of Chaetoceros over time. If the project is
successful, it will be the first time that the adaptation of a key group of
phytoplankton can be explored over evolutionary time scales and under changing
climatic conditions. |

and formats. These have been growing in recent years, due to the new BA
Digital Society (first cohort of students joined in 2019), the MA Digital
Cultures, and several large research projects, including Terra Mosana (funded
by Interreg, 2018-22) and PURE3D (PDI SSH, 2021-24). Maastricht University is
also a signatory of the Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed. Several new appointments
have been made to support the further growth of the BA Digital Society and to
work on these research projects. These colleagues need technical support that
goes beyond what is typically provided to academic staff in FASoS. For all of
these reasons, we are currently exploring the establishment of a provisionally
named Digital Studies Lab, to be based in FASoS, but as part of a university-
wide network of facilities supporting digital research, broadly defined.
**Job description**
Depending on your background, the position will be based at FASoS, in one of
the academic departments but also working closely with the ICT cluster. The
research profile is most likely to match either the Arts, Media & Culture
programme or the Science and Technology Studies programme.
Tasks
* 50% - further development of Digital Studies Lab, to support innovative educational and research activities
* 25% - preparation of publications and research applications; participation in monthly training programme offered to PhDs and postdocs in the national Digital Society programme
* 25% - teaching and thesis supervision, likely in the MA Digital Cultures, BA Digital Society, and perhaps also methods courses in other programmes.
This position combines project management with academic research and teaching,
not uncommon in emerging fields such as Digital Humanities. |

PhD Candidate ProFroMa - Characterizing ProteoForms up to Megadaltons |
Biopolymers play a critical role in biological processes and are increasingly
used as industrial products (e.g. enzymes in industrial processes, monoclonal
antibodies as pharmaceuticals). They are highly heterogeneous, often
distributed within sequence variants, post-translational modifications, and
higher-order structures. The diverse molecular forms of biopolymers can be
referred to as polyforms (proteoforms in the case of proteins).
Changes in polyform structure are among the regulatory mechanisms used by
organisms to modulate functions/activity of proteins, DNA, etc. Therefore,
understanding polyform function is key to obtaining insights into biological
processes and to design and characterize new biotechnological products.
However, state-of-the-art analytical methods offer only limited information on
polyform distributions. The direct analysis of intact biopolymers by top-down
mass spectrometry (MS) allows characterizing their polyform distributions.
Top-down MS has been successfully applied to highly-purified proteins of
molecular weight up to megadaltons. However, when analyzing biological
samples, the complexity and wide concentration range of these mixtures limit
top-down analysis to proteoforms below 30 kDa. This confines the scope of top-
down MS, as a significant number of proteoforms have higher molecular weights
(e.g. > 60% of the human proteome).
In this project, you will be working on the development of cutting-edge
methods for large proteoforms characterization, including (i) new chemistries
and morphologies of liquid chromatography materials for the chemical
resolution of intact polyforms and complexes, (ii) multidimensional LC
approaches (iii) MS and MS/MS methods to characterize large polyforms at the
molecular level.
The method developed will be used to characterize intact proteoforms in human
immunology and enzymology, collaborating with various research partners (e.g.
VU, LUMC, DSM, MSvision).
**What are you going to do**
You are expected to:
* participate in the fundamental and/or applied research in separation science and mass spectrometry of our analytical-chemistry group at the UvA and VU;
* develop liquid separation methods for the characterization of biopolymers such as biopharmaceuticals and clinical proteins;
* establish mass spectrometry and fragmentation methods for the analysis of biopolymer complexes of large size;
* interpret mass spectrometry data from the analysis of clinical proteins and biotechnological products;
* publish and present your work within the project and on international scientific platforms.
* Contribute to the teaching activities of the department. |

and Ecosystem Dynamics](https://ibed.uva.nl/) (IBED) is looking for an
assistant professor with a background in ecological and environmental ethics
and an understanding of environmental policy who has a keen interest in
interdisciplinary research and education.
There is an increasing ambition of and demand for scientists to provide
citizens and policy makers with tools and knowledge for conserving natural
resources and ecosystem services. A major challenge that we face is how to
address multiple and potentially competing objectives and diverse values
systems related to possible actions in complex environments. Ecologists as
well as earth and environmental scientists often lack the tools needed to
integrate ethical concerns, environmental legislation and diverse socio-
economic values into their research, recommendations and public engagement. A
researcher with the right expertise can, in collaboration with other
scientists, help develop a suitable framework to simultaneously address these
competing objectives and diverse value systems and cultivate a deliberative
education and research community which interfaces IBED’s expertise with
societal challenges and policy needs.
Examples of challenges that are of specific interest within IBED include
natural resource management, climate change and energy transition,
conservation biology, uncertainty in ecological systems or geo-engineering
environment-climate systems. Your research will be embedded within the
[Department of Theoretical and Computational
Ecology](https://ibed.uva.nl/content/research-departments/theoretical-and-
computational-ecology/theoretical-and-computational-ecology.html) where we
address the complexity of ecological systems in terms of processes, patterns,
diversity and functioning. We are fascinated by the abiotic and biotic factors
that determine how nature and life is distributed across our planet, that
govern how or why animals move, and that shape the dynamics of ecological
communities. We use advanced theoretical and computational approaches to
pursue our fascination and increase our understanding, while at the same time
addressing societal challenges related to sustainable development, human-
wildlife interactions and biodiversity decline.
Through this position we aim to:
* provide a theoretical foundation in environmental / ecological ethics, environmental policies and philosophy of science in our education of BSc and MSc students, applied to topical issues in ecology, environmental sciences and sustainability;
* enhance the expertise in our institute and the Faculty of Science to engage with and give direction to reflective research and education on ethical questions and philosophy of science within research domains of IBED;
* contribute to societal and policy debates and decision making on ecological and environmental issues in the Netherlands as well as internationally;
* help colleagues critically assess the societal and environmental impact of actions, or lack thereof and train MSc students, PhD candidates and staff in this;
* strengthen and extend interdisciplinary research across the boundaries of the natural sciences, the humanities and the social sciences towards integrating ecological research outcomes, ethical dilemmas and consequences for decision making;
* foster interactions between academic and societal stakeholders;

profile](https://www.uva.nl/binaries/content/assets/uva/en/about-the-
uva/working-at-the-
uva/vacancies/21-667-profile_environmental_ethics_kwaliteitsgelden.pdf)
**What will you be doing**
Expected teaching responsibilities are to (~50% investment):
* provide a significant contribution to the BSc Future Planet Studies (FPS) and MSc Earth Sciences, and potential contributions to other relevant programs (BSc and MSc Biological Sciences, BSc BetaGamma);
* coordinate and/or teach in the courses such as: “Philosophy of Science” (BSc FPS), “Energy and Climate Change; Science, Policy and Economics”, “Climate Change and Environmental Ethics” (MSc Earth Science);

Postdoc |
**Key responsibilities include:**
1. Performing functional studies of selected mt-dsRNA factors.
2. Exploring a link between mitochondrial RNA players and innate immunity.
**Project title:**
Mitochondrial double-stranded RNA: its origin, turnover and involvement in
human diseases. The project is carried out within the FIRST TEAM programme of
the Foundation for Polish Science
**Project description:**
A postdoc position is available in the Institute of Biochemistry and
Biophysics of Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw
([www.ibb.edu.pl](http://www.ibb.edu.pl)). The laboratory is located in one of
the best research institutions in Poland. The home institute is very well-
equipped and localized in the Ochota research campus, where other life
sciences institutes are placed.
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who would like to join a
mitochondrial research group lead by Dr. Roman Szczesny. The main aim of the
project is to gain insight into double-stranded RNA metabolism in human
mitochondria.
In collaboration with a few other teams we have recently found that the
transcription of the mitochondrial genome is a major source of dsRNA in human
(Dhir, Borowski…. Szczesny & Proudfoot, Nature, 2018). We discovered that
dsRNA can be released from mitochondria, which results in activation of the
innate immune system and can contribute to human disease. We revealed that the
mitochondrial degradosome, a complex of RNA helicase SUV3 and ribonuclease
PNPase, is responsible for controlling the levels of mitochondrial dsRNA (mt-
dsRNA). To identify other proteins involved in mt-dsRNA metabolism we
conducted a genome-wide siRNA screen, where the level of mt-dsRNA was measured
by high-throughput fluorescent microscopy. This resulted in the identification
of several putative factors related to mt-dsRNA, including known mtRNA players
as well as proteins whose link to mtRNA metabolism was unexpected.
The project mostly builds on our yet unpublished results and will be the
continuation of our research into dsRNA of mitochondrial origin. Our long term
goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms of dsRNA metabolism in human
mitochondria and explore potential links between mt-dsRNA and human diseases. |

Quantifying ambush behavior of free-living and pathogenic nematodes to develop
biological pest controls |
The introduction of pesticides into agriculture has resulted in larger, more
reliable crop yields across the globe, yet the chemicals used cause a host of
environmental and human health problems. This has fueled an increased interest
in the application of biopesticides: predatory and pathogenic organisms that
destroy pests, importantly without leaving a toxic residue. Examples include
the entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Steinernema. These species use a
bacterial symbiont to infect, kill, and proliferate within an insect host.
Upon depletion of the available nutrients, specialized infective juveniles
(IJs) leave the carcass to find new hosts.
These IJs seek new hosts either by cruising, essentially crawling toward them
based on sensory cues, or by nictation, in which the IJ stands erect on its
tail and waves back and forth, attempting to attach to or even jump onto a
passing insect. Cruising and nictation are thought to be more efficient for
infecting slow- and fast-moving hosts, respectively. Therefore, it may be
possible to prime IJs to efficiently infect a particular pest species by using
genetic or neurochemical manipulations that promote either cruising or
nictation.
Our lab mainly uses C. elegans, a free-living (non-pathogenic) nematode which
feeds on bacteria in rotting vegetable matter. Despite this, starved or
crowded C. elegans will form dauer larvae, analogous to Steinernema IJs, which
nictate, presumably to attach to an insect and be transported to a new food
source. Because the genetic and other experimental tools available for C.
elegans far outpace those for Steinernema, and thanks to the evolutionary
closeness of these species, we can learn a lot about the regulation of
Steinernema nictation by studying C. elegans.
While real-time human scoring of behavior is a major bottleneck restricting
large-scale studies of nictation, our lab is in the process of automating the
scoring process. Furthermore, recent work in our lab suggests that
neuropeptides play a key role in regulating nictation, and we are keen on
building a more complete view of the genetic regulation of this behavior. We
are looking for a PhD candidate interested in:
* working with and further develop our in house software used to acquire and analyze nictation behavior;
* further optimizing our imaging platform to make it suitable for higher-throughput experiments;
* performing compound (Steinernema) and/ or genetic (C. elegans) screens to find interventions affecting nictation.
As a PhD student you will have the opportunity to use, master, and ultimately
improve a multitude of rapidly evolving skills and technologies. These incl...

candidate will be expected to analyze single-cell RNA-seq datasets and develop
new computational approaches to study the function of RBPs in these data.
Research at the Gene Regulation of Cell Identity Group, led by Dr. Mireya
Plass, aims at understanding how post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms
and their regulators, mainly RBPs and microRNAs, are involved in the
establishment of cellular identity and how their dysregulation contributes to
the development of neurodegenerative diseases. For this purpose, we use
induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to model neural differentiation in
humans and study their differentiation process using a combination of
molecular biology techniques with high-throughput omics and computational
tools.
**About the research group**

PRE-DOCTORAL RESEARCHER SCHOLARSHIP (SPANISH FPI) - European Studies - Social
Sciences |
**Project Description**
* The candidate will join the international research team of the EPDECIDE research project (“ _The impact of formal and informal capacities in the legislative decision-making of the European Parliament_ ”). EPDECIDE's primary objective is to systematically identify and evaluate the sources of influence and power that are most relevant when explaining the political results produced inside the European Parliament (EP). A second objective, related to the previous one, is to identify the main mechanisms from which the political controversies that occur in the EP are made into such political results and tangible public policies. In other words, it will analyze the main explanatory mechanisms for decision-making in the EP.
* To answer our research questions, the project will build two original databases not yet existing in the academic literature. The first database will focus on the decision-making process within the EP, as it will exploit the methodology previously employed in the DEU dataset (Thomson et al. 2012; Arregui and Perarnaud, 2021). For what concerns the second database, this will firstly focus on identifying the relevance of the informal capacities from internal actors of the EP. Secondly, it will also assess these informal capacities in the concrete decision-making of the European chamber. The project will exploit a methodological strategy based on both qualitative and quantitative techniques, including process identification and mechanism detection methods, decision-making models, network analysis, and multivariate analysis.
**Job Description**
* The candidate will fully join the EPDECIDE research team and will actively contribute to the development of all the main project stages.
* He/she will be co-responsible in the realization of the fieldwork in Brussels
* He/she will develop their own research on the decision-making process inside the European Parliament
* The selected pre-doctoral researcher will develop papers aiming at publication in high-ranking journals and will be provided both training and capacities for the efficient development of their research work.
* The candidate will hold a pre-doctoral research contract under Pompeu Fabra University. The position is granted by an FPI Scholarship (MINECO National Ministry) and it can last up to 4 years.
* The candidate will also receive technical and logistical support (including an office space) in BACES’ headquarters (Mercè Rodoreda Builinding, Campus Ciutadella, UPF) |

Educational policy and commercial relations |
Commercial actors play an important role in in both compulsory education and
higher education. Think, for example, of publishers and companies that offer
technical support, but also of consultants (for instance on school-
innovation), student or pupil support agencies (e.g. private tutoring) and the
growing market of new digital learning materials. The aim of this doctoral
research is to gain in-depth insight into how these local but increasingly
also international actors, relations and products/services, shape the
organization of education and into the possibilities, but foremost also the
limits, of a commercial logic in education. The purpose of the doctoral
research is twofold: on the one hand a thorough empirical study of commercial
actors, relations and services/products in education (cases are to be decided)
and, on the other hand, a contribution to theory development in the field of
educational policy and commercialization. The candidate researcher is expected
to creatively formulate his/her own specific and relevant research interest
within this theme (e.g. strategies and impacts of EDTech companies, role of
(policy) consultants, impact of international publisher houses, developments
in national markets of learning materials …). |

Postdoctoral fellow in AI-based planning and acting for autonomous robot
missions |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a
better world.
You can find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here](https://www.ntnu.edu/positions/job-application-process).
## About the position
As part of the IKTPLUSS project “ROBPLAN - AI-based planning and acting for
autonomous robot missions”, we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher at
the Department of Engineering Cybernetics. The postdoctoral fellowship
position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in
senior academic positions.
In many application domains there is a need for robots with high level of
autonomy that can operate safely and efficiently in increasingly complex
environments. However, even for simple missions, the planning complexity can
quickly explode. In addition, high-level action planning is often performed as
an offline process where the environment a robot operates in is assumed to be
static, which is not the case in the real world. To deal with these
challenges, the ROBPLAN project will develop and demonstrate methods for
multi-robot autonomous missions in industrial use cases by combining planning
with acting in a way that balances needs for long-term planning with needs to
react to immediate events in a robust manner. In order to achieve this, the
project will build on techniques from symbolic AI approaches (e.g. existing AI
planning methods), which involve structured knowledge about the world, and
enhance them with non-symbolic AI (e.g. machine learning), which can be used
to learn from new data and adjust to changes in the world.
An example use case that is relevant for the project is a mobile robot and a
UAV cooperating on an emergency situation at an oil and gas facility. The
high-level planner must generate a sequence of actions for both robots, which,
when successfully executed, will resolve the situation. Such an event could
include that a system for automated planning and acting first deploys an UAV
to get a first look and understanding of the emergency, followed by the mobile
robot to carry out an intervention to handle the situation (e.g., close a
valve).
ROBPLAN (2021-24) is coordinated by SINTEF Digital, with NTNU, Equinor and
Scout Drone Inspection as partners. The postdoctoral researcher will therefore
be part of a dynamic environment with highly-skilled participants involving
academia and industry. Suitable simulation environments and real robots will
be provided by the partners to stimulate the research and help verify the
quality of the proposed solution within the project.
You will report to Associate Professor Anastasios Lekkas.
The position’s working place is the Department of Engineering Cybernetics, at
NTNU campus in Trondheim.
## Duties of the position
• Develop AI-based methods (symbolic or non-symbolic, depending on the
researcher’s background and use case needs) for robots operating in the real
world. Naturally, this also involves connecting the proposed high-level
planning systems with a robot’s control and perception systems.
• Run relevant case studies in simulated environments and the real world to
verify your solutions.
• Collaborate with the project partners in order to enhance competence
building and upscale the project’s results.
• Supervision of MSc students working on topics directly related to the scope
of the project.
• Disseminate scientific findings according to the project’s objectives.
## Required selection criteria
• You must have completed a Norwegian doctoral degree, or corresponding
foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian PhD, in
cybernetics, Artificial Intelligence, robotics, mathematics, or other relevant
fields, ideally with a focus on combining AI with robotics. Field work
experience will be highly advantageous for this position.

Doctoral Scholarship – Graduate student |
**Name and description of the research project** :
The Aesthetics of Populism. Political struggale and the aesthetics experience
in Poland after 1989.
How do populist movements use aesthetic means to get attention and lure
supporters? Do the followers of the populist creed differ from the rest of
society in the way they get dressed, cook, and entertain themselves? Does the
aesthetics dimension of politics form an important part of any political
movement or is it just an accidental phenomenon without any significance? Can
we view and interpret the political struggle as a struggle of two aesthetics?
Does democracy need the arts for it to properly function? These are the
questions I would like to answer in my research project.

Tenure-Track/Tenure-Eligible Investigator |
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) — one of the
largest Institutes of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), part of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)—is seeking to recruit
outstanding, highly creative scientists to positions as tenure-track/tenure-
eligible investigators (equivalent to assistant or associate professor level
academic faculty) in its newly established Laboratory of Host Immunity and
Microbiome (LHIM) in the Division of Intramural Research (DIR).
NIAID’s mission is to conduct and support basic and applied research to better
understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and
allergic diseases. The vision of the new LHIM—led by Dr. Yasmine Belkaid—is to
comprehensively examine the factors controlling immunity and inflammation,
whether they are host intrinsic (e.g., tissue-specific or the consequence of
tissue-tissue communication) or extrinsic (e.g., involve the microbiota,
nutrition, or infection). Ongoing research within LHIM includes exploration of
host-microbiota interactions, the long-term consequences of environmental
stress on host immunity, and nutritional control of immunity. In pursuing its
scientific goals, a major emphasis of LHIM will be on promoting collaborations
between the laboratories within NIAID as well as with the larger National
Institutes of Health (NIH) and extramural scientific communities. LHIM also
has a strong emphasis on mentorship and fostering increased diversity in the
next generation of scientific leaders. Additional information about LHIM
staff, vision, and ongoing research activities is available
[online](https://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/lab-host-immunity-and-microbiome-
lhim).
LHIM has been specifically organized to harness the unique resources available
at NIH to conduct cutting-edge research. For example, it is home to the [NIAID
Microbiome Program](https://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/microbiome-program)
that supports microbiome-related research through gnotobiotic, microbiology,
and genomic core services. LHIM has also established a close partnership with
the adjacent [Laboratory of Immune System
Biology](https://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/lab-immune-system-biology) to
foster a rich intellectual and technological local environment. Some shared
resources include: single-cell analysis, proteomics, genomics, and advanced
imaging along with jointly held seminars and journal clubs and opportunities
for mini-rotations to learn new methods and interact with other senior
scientists in NIAID.
The ideal candidate will be an exceptional early or mid-stage investigator who
shares LHIM’s vision for collaboration and mentorship and the application of
transdisciplinary approaches to the exploration of host-microbe, tissue-
tissue, or host-environment interactions. Areas of research focus could
include but are not limited to: immunology (e.g., human immunology,
immunometabolism, nutritional immunology), as well as microbiology (e.g.,
ecology, antimicrobial resistance), chemistry (e.g., microbiota-derived
natural products), neuroscience (e.g., gut/brain axis), or genomics, with a
particular interest in enhancing our understanding of host immunity. The
incumbent will be expected to develop an innovative and highly collaborative
research program that includes basic and/or translational studies. Applicants
must have an M.D., Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., or equivalent doctoral degree in a
relevant field with postdoctoral experience as well as a strong publication
record demonstrating potential for creative research.
This position is fully funded by the intramural research program of NIAID and
includes support for salary, laboratory support personnel, equipment, space,
supplies and services, and research animals/animal housing. Access is also
provided to dedicated technical cores within NIAID in areas such as advanced
imaging, flow cytometry, and genomics. Although sufficient support is provided
for a strong research program, investigators and trainees are also eligible to
apply for additional funding from sources such as NIH internal grants (e.g.,
[Bench-to-Bedside and Back
Program)](https://ocr.od.nih.gov/btb/btb_program.html), non-governmental
research foundations, or partnerships with industry.
The intramural NIH community spans all field of biological research and is
home to over [1,000 immunologists](https://irp.nih.gov/our-
research/scientific-focus-areas/immunology) across numerous Institutes beyond
NIAID. The incumbent will have access to state-of-the-art specialized cores in
many of these other NIH intramural Institutes, the NIH Clinical Center (a
premier research hospital on the main NIH campus), and the [NIH Center for
Human Immunology](https://chi.niaid.nih.gov/index.html). In addition to
postdoctoral fellowships, the intramural program offers numerous opportunities
to host [graduate students](https://www.training.nih.gov/programs/gpp) (Ph.D.
or M.D./Ph.D.) via the [NIH Oxford-Cambridge Scholars
Program](https://oxcam.gpp.nih.gov) or through agreements with universities
such as the [NIH-Penn Immunology Graduate Partnership
Program](https://www.med.upenn.edu/nih-igg-partnership/).

Postdoc for Biocompatibility of plasma-modified implant surfaces |
The project aims at obtaining a comprehensive picture of the biophysical
properties of biologically-relevant interfaces. In particular, we will study
interactions between solid implant surfaces and in vitro models of body
fluids. The focus will be on molecular-level theoretical description of these
systems using molecular dynamics simulations and then combination of the
simulations with in vitro experiments. The project involves an active
collaboration with an experimental research group working on modification of
implant surfaces. Regarding simulations, some force field development and
fine-tuning will be performed to describe plasma-modified solid surfaces.

Researcher position M/W: Molecular beam epitaxy of III-nitrides on 8 ''
silicon substrate |
He / she will qualify the different equipment of the growth reactor, perform
epitaxial growth and take care of maintenance.
He / she will train the personnel who will work on the equipment.
The candidate will also have to interact effectively and regularly with the
various partners via technical presentations while respecting certain rules of
confidentiality when they are required.
The candidate, via an in-depth bibliographic study, will have to acquire a
complete scientific expertise in the field of GaN-on-Si structures and their
use for the realization of transistors.
The candidate will be responsible for the operation of the Riber 49 molecular

• the production of AlN/Si 8 " composite substrates.
• the structural characterization of thin films (AFM, X-diffraction, C-V
measurements, Hall effect) and will analyze the data to optimize the growth
process in order to achieve objectives.
CRHEA-CNRS is developing in collaboration with the start-up EasyGaN a research
programme on radio-frequency devices based on III-nitride semiconductors on
silicon (research project HyperGaN). The objective of this project is to
fabricate, starting from a composite substrate (AlN/Si), transistor structures
for high frequency electronics based on GaN on Si, and to show that this
composite substrate allows one to improve performances of devices, as well as
facilitate their manufacturability and increase production yields. As part of
this project, CRHEA-CNRS is looking for a motivated researcher with solid
expertise in molecular beam epitaxy. This is a 24 month CNRS position located
at CRHEA in Sophia-Antipolis (France). The funding will be provided by the
France Relance initiative (80%) and the EasyGaN start-up (20%) The manufacture
of AlN/Si composite substrates by molecular beam epitaxy will then be
transferred to the EasyGaN company. This transfer will be facilitated by the
fact that the candidate is expected to be recruited next by EasyGaN. This
validation will allow the startup EasyGaN (issued and hosted at CRHEA) to
offer an innovative product to facilitate access to GaN-on-Si technology. |

CDD Researcher in optics, digital modeling and nanotechnologies M / F |
The candidate will have to address the issue of extending nanostructuring
technology to the visible and near infrared spectral range. He will develop
metasurfaces with dielectric materials that are non-absorbent in the visible
and possibly UV such as GaN, AlN, AlGaN and ZnO. Implementation of
nanostructured devices in the visible and near infrared of a light beam so as
to improve the control properties of the wavefront for imaging applications.
Develop effective metasurfaces devices in the visible and near infrared to
control the properties of light (polarization, intensity, phase profile of the
light wavefront). This project will be able to build on the skills acquired
during the Doctorate and by working in close collaboration with the members of
the ERC FLATLIGHT project at CRHEA.
The Research Center for Hetero-Epitaxis and its Applications (CRHEA) is a CNRS
research laboratory specializing in the epitaxy of high bandgap semiconductor
materials such as element III nitride materials (GaN, AlN) , zinc oxide (ZnO),
silicon carbide (SiC) and their micro- and nanofabrication in clean rooms.
CRHEA also studies 2D materials such as graphene or boron nitride.
The major areas covered by CRHEA concern energy transition, future
communications, the environment and health. CRHEA also carries out fundamental
studies in nanoscience and crystal growth.
High bandgap energy materials are key elements for power electronics, very
high frequency electronics, LED-based lighting and new generations of micro-
displays. The laser sources operating in the visible and in the Ultra-Violet
produced at CRHEA have multiple applications for lighting, biophotonics and
for water purification. CRHEA also develops components in the THz field,
photonic circuits, advanced optical components based on metasurfaces,
applications in spintronics, sensors and is involved in the development of
quantum technologies.
The laboratory has eight molecular beam epitaxy growth reactors and six vapor
phase growth reactors. It also has tools for the structural characterization
of materials and a clean room for micro and nanofabrication.
Context of the integration team:
The combination of top-down and bottom-up approaches makes it possible to
exploit all the possibilities offered by nanostructures and this is the
strength of the Nanotechnologies team, which uses GaN and ZnO as materials of
choice. Our interests range from basic materials science, including the MBE
and MOCVD growth of new materials (eg ZnMnO, rare earth nitrides and
oxynitrides), to the development of more complex nanophotonic systems. These
are in particular metasurfaces, which allow the manufacture of ultrathin-
ultralight optoelectronic components such as metal lenses, optical
microcavities. These are the ideal playground for testing effects in quantum
electrodynamics and obtaining Bose-Einstein condensates in a semiconductor
environment. Finally, a final nanophotonic platform based on GaN nanowires is
capable of stimulating biological cells with unprecedented spatial resolution.
Moreover, the manipulation of the spin of carriers and / or excitons within
these photonic structures, thanks to our magnetic materials, opens up the
possibility of coupling spin and photons in an electrically addressable
interface. |

DR), in charge of 2D materials growth and band structure measurements; F.
Oelher (CNRS CR) in charge of growth of 2D materials; A. Durnez (CNRS
Engineer) in charge of samples fabrication and dielectric/metal deposition.
C2NMaterial department has an international recognition for its activity at
the interface between optomechanics, optoelectronics and band structure
measurements in 2D heterostructures, thanks to Raman–photoluminescence, X-ray
photospectroscopy (XPS) and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)
facilities. Moreover C2N own the most complete and XX-XX cleanroom of the
Paris region.
The study of thermal transport is a major challenge with many fundamental and
technological implications. In this context, the rise of low dimension
materials opens up a new scale which deeply changes our understanding. The
well-established models for conventional bulk crystals fail for one-atom-thick
structures and innovative experimental and theoretical approaches are needed.
Surprisingly, a huge effort has allowed addressing graphene Dirac electron
transport whereas 2D thermal transport is still in its infancy. This intership
proposal intends to engineer suspended membranes of 2D materials, as MoS2 to
explore the new frontiers of thermal transport.
The approach combines specific and complementary state-of-the art-expertise in
i) the fabrication of complex nano-patterned structures1,3; ii) spatially
resolved temperature measurements using Raman spectroscopy; iii) development
of original theoretical models2 in collaboration with theoricians working at
INSP and C2N

Decyphering the physical mechanisms of pyroptotic cell lysis (H/F). |
Cell death can revet various forms (necrosis, apoptosis, pyroptosis) that
share different signatures in volume variations and include the formation of
pores within the cell membrane. Such pores break the cell osmotic equilibrium
inducing large fluxes at the plasma membrane.
We propose to characterize the biophysics of pyroptosis – a cell death
inducing pro-inflammatory response – under the control of optogenetic
activation. Using state-of-the-art quantitative microscopy (FXm, holography
and fast confocal microscopy), the candidate will provide high temporal
resolution characterization of pore formation, cellular and blebs volume
dynamics during pyroptosis. Such dataset will first allow deciphering the
biophysics at play in this key biological event, second to test/validate a
general theoretical framework integrating the coupling between cell mechanics
and fluxes at the membrane that can have broader applications to general
mechanisms involved in volume homeostasis.
Experiments in biophysics.
The post-doctoral researcher will work under the guidance of Sylvain Monnier
[Institut Lumière Matière (iLM)], Virginie Petrilli [Centre de recherche en
cancérologie de Lyon (CRCL)] and Pierre Recho [Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire
de physique (LIPhy)] in the framework of the ANR project SurVol coordinated by
M. Piel [Institut Curie]. P. Recho is the local coordinator.
The post-doctoral researcher will be in charge of single cell experiments,
carrying out quantitative microscopy and data analysis and potentially
modelling/simulation of the observed phenomena. The candidate will spend most
his/her time in Lyon at the iLM and at the CRCL to perform experiments. The
theoretical side of the project will be handled at the LiPhy in Grenoble.
The iLM is a physics institute with a strong interdisciplinary component.
Throughout the years, the biophysics team has developed multiple tools to
quantify the behavior of single cells and multicellular assemblies and control
their environment. Among other approaches, the team is developing
microfluidics and microfabricated tools in order to control cells and tissue
environment combined with quantitative microscopy. At the CRCL, the group of
V. Petrilli has a strong expertise in the innate immune response and its
dysregulation in pathological context, and more precisely in cancer. The team
has recently developed innovative tools in cell biology to study the
activation of inflammasomes.The Liphy develops various researches such as the
mechanics/physics of fluids and solids, statistical physics, optics, applied
mathematics and biology in interaction with biologists and medical physicians.

CDD PhD student EPITAXY AND STUDY OF THE PROPERTIES OF HYBRID MATERIALS NbN
SUPRACONDUCTEUR / III-N SEMICONDUCTEUR M / F |
The Research Center for Heteroepitaxy and its Applications (CRHEA - UPR10) is
a CNRS research laboratory specialized in the epitaxy of wide bandgap
semiconductor materials such as III nitride materials (GaN, AlN), zinc oxide
(ZnO), silicon carbide (SiC) and their micro- and nanofabrication in a clean
room. CRHEA also studies 2D materials such as graphene, or boron nitride.
The main areas covered by the CRHEA concern the energy transition, the
communications of the future, the environment and health. CRHEA also conducts
fundamental studies in nanoscience and crystal growth.
High energy bandgap materials are key elements for power electronics, ultra-
high frequency electronics, LED-based lighting and new generations of micro-
displays. CRHEA visible and ultraviolet light sources have multiple
applications for lighting, biophotonics and water purification. CRHEA also
develops components in the THz domain, photonic circuits, advanced optical
components based on metasurfaces, applications in spintronics, sensors and is
involved in the development of quantum technologies.
The laboratory has eight molecular beam epitaxy growth reactors and six vapor
phase growth reactors. It also has tools for structural characterization of
materials and a clean room for micro and nanofabrication.
CRHEA was behind the creation of two spin-offs (Saint Gobain Lumilog and
EasyGaN). It hosts several SMEs (NovaSiC, EasyGaN) that benefit from its
scientific environment and its technical facilities and collaborate with the
laboratory.
CRHEA is a CNRS owned research unit attached mainly to the Institute of
Physics and secondarily to the Institute of Engineering Sciences and Systems.
The CNRS is a member of the Université Côte d'Azur. The premises of CRHEA are
located in the heart of the Sophia-Antipolis technopole in Valbonne, a short
distance from Cannes and Nice.
.In recent years, the fabrication of hybrid semiconductor / superconductor
materials allowed an very high-level original research in many fields like
quantum technologies and neuromorphic photonics.These hybrid semiconductor /
superconductor materials therefore appear to be serious candidates for the
development of tomorrow's technologies. The objective of the thesis is to
fabricate innovative hybrid semiconductor / superconductor materials using
molecular beam epitaxy to achieve excellent quality materials as well as
ultimate control of thicknesses and interfaces. We chose to focus the study on
the fabrication of III-nitrides (III-N) / niobium nitride (NbN)
heterostructures which have on the one hand remarkable physical properties but
also compatible chemical and structural properties to develop hybrid materials
with unprecedented quality using epitaxy. Beyond the fabrication and the study
and understanding of the properties of these hybrid materials, the ambition of
this thesis is to participate in an innovative and original research work in
different fields of photonic and electronic.
Today thin layers of NbN are mainly deposited by a sputtering technique but
recent results show that it is possible to establish an epitaxial relationship
between the III-N semiconductor materials and the NbN superconducting
material. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that by using molecular
beam epitaxy, it will be possible to stabilize a single and well identified
crystalline phase of NbN on the (0001) planes of the wurtzite phase of III-N
semiconductors. In this case, this will significantly improve the
microstructure and minimize the disorder in the NbN superconducting thin
films. Thanks to the use of molecular beam epitaxy, it will also be possible
to finely control the formation of the interface between III-N and NbN and to
eliminate the problems linked to the contamination of the interface which lead
to degradation of the properties of NbN layers. The study of the structural
properties of thin layers of NbN by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron
microscopy and atomic force microscopy will make it possible to optimize the
growth conditions. Superconducting properties (whether for single photon
detection and / or transport studies) will be the subject of studies carried
out in collaboration with partner laboratories and experts in these fields. |

Title: Generation of immunosuppressive cells by electrostimulation of
peripheral nerves to control rheumatoid arthritis
A) Research objectives and hypothesis
Autoimmune pathologies result from a dysfunction of the immune system leading
it to attack components of the body. This is for example the case in
rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis. Curative pharmacological
treatments for these autoimmune pathologies do not currently exist. Faced with
this observation, bioelectronic medicine, which is based on the
neuromodulation of peripheral nerves, appears to be a promising therapeutic
strategy for this type of chronic inflammatory pathology.
In a recently published article, we demonstrated that splenic nerve
stimulation (SNS) was effective in inhibiting inflammation in rodents (1).
The overall objective of this project is to identify the cellular and
molecular mechanisms involved in the protection induced by electrostimulation
of the splenic nerve in an experimental mouse model of arthritis.
B) Positioning of the project in relation to the state of the art
Neuromodulation has been proposed as a therapeutic option for arthritis
patients (2). The release of neurotransmitters in the spleen has in fact been
shown to inhibit inflammation (3). A clinical trial has shown that vagus nerve
stimulation reduces the severity of the disease and inhibits the production of
inflammatory cytokines in arthritis patients (2). However, because the vagus
nerve controls many organs, adverse effects in patients limit neuromodulation
of this nerve as a treatment. However, experiments by Tracey's group
demonstrated that stimulation of the vagus nerve resulted in the release of
neurotransmitter in the spleen (3). Direct stimulation of the splenic nerve
(SNS) which invades only the spleen and which is composed only of efferent
fibers therefore offers an alternative to stimulation of the vagus nerve.
In order to study the impact of SNS on the development of arthritis, we have
developed a minimally invasive surgical procedure to implant electrodes on the
splenic nerve allowing SNS in vigilant animals. A preliminary study has shown
that SNS treatment not only prevented but also reduced symptoms in a mouse
model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). We have also shown that SNS affects
immune cells in the spleen, suppresses the production of pro-inflammatory
cytokines, and reduces clinical symptoms of ASD. We hypothesized that the
protection observed with chronic SNS is the result of the induction of
immunosuppressive cells.
C) Methodology to achieve the scientific objectives
Axis 1: Identification of the immunosuppressive population induced by SNS.
We will repeat the experiment shown in Figure 3 by depleting before transfer
either myeloid cells, T lymphocytes or B lymphocytes. We expect that one of
these transfers is associated with a lack of protection, which will inform us
about the main population with suppressive functions. We will then determine
more precisely the phenotype of these cells by cytometry and depletion of
subpopulations before transfer.
Axis 2: Identification of neurotransmitters and cells involved in the
induction of immunosuppressive cells by SNS.
We will use a pharmacological approach by administering neurotransmitter
receptor antagonists to CIA mice receiving SNS. The loss of protection, or the
absence of an immunosuppressive population in the electrostimulated mice or
the loss of protection in the recipient mice after adoptive transfer will make
it possible to identify the neurotransmitter involved in the induction of the
immunosuppressive cells. To validate this neurotransmitter, we will use
conditional knockout mice in which the neutrotransmitter receptor is
selectively deleted within a subpopulation of immune cells (eg CD19CRE
ADRB2loxP / loxP).
Axis 3: Characterization of the impact of SNS on the functions of immune cells
and signaling pathways.
Neither of the two cell populations identified in objective 1 and objective 2
has been fully characterized after SNS. Thus, we will undertake an exhaustive
analysis of these cells using a transcriptomic approach by single cell RNA
sequencing.
D) Project outlook
The induction of immunosuppressive cells has so far only been achieved using
biological or pharmacological factors. For this thesis project, we are
considering a radically new way to induce this population using SNS. While
electrical stimulation of peripheral nerves has been shown to be effective in
inhibiting cytokine secretion by myeloid cells over a short period of time
(3), the impact on immune cell functions of long-term electrical stimulation n
'has never been tested before. We obtained preliminary data demonstrating the
induction of immunosuppressive cells by neuromodulation. The aim of this
proposal is to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the
generation of immunosuppressive cells.

PhD in Impacts of Climate Change in wave resources |
The Energy Transition is a high priority for many countries globally and
Renewable Energies are a key pillar and contributor to mitigate Climate Change
effects maintaining global temperatures below 2 Celcius, and address the
United Nations Sustainable Development goals. However, Climate Change may
affect available offshore energies resources.
This PhD will focus on long-term impacts on wave resources at varied depths,
looking into numerical modelling. The candidate will investigate how to reduce
uncertainties and improve spectral numerical wave models, done via statistical
or machine learning approaches.
The work will consider past and future Climate Change wave scenarios, followed
by investigation fluid structure interaction for offshore energy farms that
may be quantified as mitigation methods. These will provide the basis for
assessing untapped “hidden” mitigation potential that can emerge by the rapid
development of offshore energies.
As a PhD candidate you will be part of our Offshore Engineering group in the
Hydraulic Engineering department. You will be supervised by Dr. George Lavidas
and Prof. Dr. Andrei Metrikine. As part of this project, you will be given the
opportunity to work with leading academic and industrial partners. |

Postdoc Systems Theory and Control Strategies for Induced Seismicity |
This PostDoc position forms part of the Science4Steer project which aims to
understand the effects of time-varying pressures, stresses and strains
resulting from natural gas production and (re-) injection in the Dutch
subsurface as a basis for operational strategies to minimise the hazard of
induced seismicity. The results will also be relevant to the final or
temporary subsurface storage of other gasses such as CO2 or H2 and for
geothermal energy production. In particular, this PostDoc project will address
the scope to influence subsurface pressures and stresses, via multi-well
injection/production control while taking account of geological and parameter
uncertainties. This will involve developing a system-theoretical basis for
control of coupled flow and mechanics in faulted porous media through
concept/theory development and computational science. Therefore you will use,
and contribute to, numerical simulation tools developed by other team members
in our project, for example to investigate pressure transients in multi-well
configurations at field scale, or simulate physical experiments performed in
our project, to develop control strategies for subsurface flow and mechanics. |

_An enthusiastic and creative researcher Vertical Farming, who can communicate
well. Would you like to contribute to the development of sustainable,
circular, innovative and competitive cultivation systems in Vertical Farms and
other advanced cultivation systems? Then we are looking for you._
Research on Vertical Farming is done at the business unit Greenhouse
Horticulture of Wageningen Universiteit & Research in Bleiswijk. In a new
Vertical Farming research facility, we can grow crops in multilayer cells and
cells to grow high wire crops. This facility is unique in that the cells are
airtight, so that CO2 uptake of the crop can be measured in situ. In this

PhD candidate sought on cornea regeneration at the Faculty of Health, Medicine
and Life Sciences, Institute MERLN, Division cBITE, Maastricht, University |
The cornea – our clear window to the world – undergoes constant renewal and
regeneration to maintain a clear, uniform surface. Epithelial cells are
continuously shed from the cornea, requiring a steady supply of cells from a
small population of limbal stem cells (LSCs), located at the edge of the
cornea. In case of minor injury, the inherent regenerative capacity of LSCs
can effectively repair the epithelium. Unfortunately, this is not always the
case. For example, if the limbus or LSCs are damaged following severe injury
or congenital deficiency, the complete or partial loss of LSCs causes intense
pain and chronic inflammation, allowing the opaque conjunctiva to grow over
the cornea, resulting in blindness in the most severe cases.
Globally, ten million individuals suffer from bilateral visual impairment or
blindness due to a corneal pathology. The societal burden is substantial given
its impact on employment, quality of life and related caretaking requirements.
For both the individual patients and the wider society, there is an urgent
need to develop therapies to regenerate the cornea and prevent blindness.
Our team was recently awarded a ZonMw (Netherlands Organisation for Health
Research and Development) Open Competition grant to develop a new therapy to
regenerate the corneal epithelium based on the transdifferentiation of other
epithelial cells from the patient. This project is a collaboration with the
laboratory of Dr Jo Zhou (Radboud UMC, Nijmegen), whose team will lead the
mapping of the molecular blueprint for transdifferentiation. The successful
candidate will work on a strategy to induce and validate successful
transdifferentiation to LSC-like cells. |

PhD Position Durability of Bio-Based Materials for Sustainable Engineering
Structures |
The ever increasing effects of climate change and (as a result) the imposition
of environmental regulations to reduce CO2 emissions, encourage researchers in
various disciplines (e.g. civil, aerospace, automotive, and marine
engineering) to utilize more environmentally friendly materials in their
structures. This entails materials which are either more light-weight,
reusable, recyclable, renewable or durable and thus more sustainable. Some
examples of such (partially) bio-based materials include bio-based adhesives
for bonding, natural fibre polymer composites, bio-based resins, and wood.
Applications for these materials include bridges, interiors of aircraft,
automotive panels, wind turbines, and wooden highrise buildings.
The current scientific knowledge on long-term performance and service life of
bio-based composites when subjected to different service conditions and
environments is limited. Hence, this research aims at making a contribution to
the understanding of different ageing mechanisms
(physical/chemical/mechanical) in bio-based composites at the different levels
of material hierarchy (micro, meso, and macro), when undergoing an accelerated
ageing procedure.
In particular, this PhD research focuses on understanding the hygrothermal
fatigue behaviour of bio-based composite materials e.g. flax fibre reinforced
polymers, based on which mitigation measures can be proposed and evaluated.
The study will include effects of hygrothermal fatigue on material
microstructure, benchmarking against better known existing materials (like
glass-fibre composites) and the realistic definition of accelerated lab test
conditions to allow predictions of service life. For this, hygrothermal
cycling has to be matched with fatigue cycling in a realistic manner in the
lab. Behaviour will be contrasted with fatigue and hygrothermal ageing when
decoupled. Existing models for the fatigue behaviour of composite materials
will be adapted to include the effects of hygrothermal cycling.
This PhD position will be within the research group of ‘’Bio-based structures
and materials’’ of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of TU
Delft and the PhD research will be performed in close collaboration with the
Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of TU Delft. The experiments will be carried
out in the laboratories of both faculties. |

research of the highest quality and relevance to make a long-term difference
in society. Our most important assets are all the individuals whose curiosity
and dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden’s most exciting
workplaces. Uppsala University has over 45,000 students, more than 7,000
employees and a turnover of around SEK 7 billion.
The Department of Medical Sciences is a large clinical institution with more
than 250 employees and over 300 additional coworkers connected via the Uppsala
University Hospital. The Department of Medical Sciences has a broad research
profile with strong research groups in a number of different areas. The
research carried out at the department is performed in close connection with
the clinical activities at the Uppsala University Hospital, which includes
both basic studies on the causes of a variety of illnesses and the development
and evaluation of improved diagnostics and new treatment methods. More
information about the Department of Medical Sciences can be found at
[www.medsci.uu.se](http://www.medsci.uu.se).
The Rheumatology research group focusing on systemic autoimmunity at the
Department of Medical Sciences looks for a new postdoctoral researcher. The
research group studies inflammatory rheumatic diseases including Systemic
Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögrens syndrome. We study the genome and
different cells of the immune system in patients and healthy individuals,
aiming at clarifying the mechanisms behind disease in order to develop new and
effective treatments. We collaborate with national and international networks
of clinicians and researchers and also with the pharmaceutical industry. For
more information, see .
**Job description:** Our research group has contributed to the discovery of
>25 risk loci associated with development of SLE. Some of these single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with specific manifestations of
the disease. Recently, we developed a polygenic risk score for SLE and
observed not only that individuals with a high risk score often develop SLE
but also have a more sever disease. This project will further dissect the role
of genetics in SLE pathogenesis. The aim is to develop an instrument to
predict disease manifestations, effect of different environmental risk factors
and response to treatment. To do this we have analyzed and compiled genetic
data, methylation data, protein expression data and comprehensive clinical

Postdoctoral Researcher within Digital Twins for Sustainable Transport
Planning |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a
better world.
You can find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here](https://www.ntnu.edu/positions/job-application-process).
## About the position
We have a vacancy for a Postdoctoral Researcher within the topic Digital Twins
for Sustainable Transport Planning at the Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering, within the Roads, Railway and Transport research
group.
While digital twins are commonly found in manufacturing and process contexts,
in the urban development space, specifically transport planning, the concept
of digital twins is still immature. Digital twins are believed to improve on
current transport system modelling tools by allowing for greater interactions
between different data sources and models, a better connection to virtual
representations of the physical infrastructure and the surrounding
environment, and the potential for enhanced understanding of analysis results
by the end-users. There is a lack of research and development specific to
representing the complex transport system within digital twins, and a concern
among transport researchers and planners that the transport system could be
oversimplified in digital twins, thus reducing its usefulness and relevance as
a decision-making and assessment tool. Additionally, there is a need to better
understand how digital twins can improve decision-making processes in guiding
cities and regions towards sustainability goals.
The main objective of the project is to develop a knowledge base to be
utilized in strategic development of the aforementioned research focuses. This
knowledge will be used as a basis for future project proposals. Given that the
concept of digital twins for transport systems is only just emerging as an
international research focus, the project aims to bring the research group to
the forefront of this new interdisciplinary field. While both passenger and
freight transport need to be incorporated into digital twins, this project
will focus primarily on freight transport where sector development is
currently lacking, though results will be generalizable to passenger
transport. The research topic is tied to the Faculty of Engineering’s priority
areas of digitalization and sustainability, as well as the Department’s
initiatives within the Green Shift in the Built Environment.
The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main
goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.
You will report to an Associate Professor.
## Duties of the position
* Perform research according to the project objectives
* Initiate contact and engage both academic partners and public stakeholders within the project objectives
* Report progress on a regular basis and in agreement with the supervisor(s)
* Contribute to the dissemination of the research outcomes through of scientific reports and papers
## Required selection criteria
* You must have completed a Norwegian doctoral degree or corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian PhD
* You must have a professionally relevant background in transport engineering, transport planning, urban planning, or other relevant fields. Strong experience and knowledge related to digital twins may compensate for lack of experience within transport/planning
* You must have a strong proficiency in spoken and written English
The appointment is to be made in accordance with the regulations in force
concerning State Employees and Civil Servants and [national guidelines for

POST-DOCTORAL POSITION – INNATE IMMUNE MECHANISMS ASSOCIATED WITH VIRAL
PERSISTENCE IN THE HUMAN TESTIS |
The transmission of viral diseases is more than ever a major global health
concern. Transmission of viruses through semen is extremely hard to control in
case of persistent seminal shedding. This is illustrated by the HIV pandemic,
the resurgence of Ebola foci after sexual transmission by male survivors up to
5 years after recovery, and the occurrence of Zika virus-infected individuals
in 14 countries outside the insect-vector zone (Le Tortorec et al, Phys Rev
2020). On top of diseases dissemination, viral infections of the male genital
tract (MGT) can lead to infertility, hormonal disturbances and virus
transmission to the embryo, affecting fetal development and pregnancy outcome.
Zika virus (ZIKV) is a teratogenic arbovirus sexually transmitted by cured men
that has great potential for emergence, with an estimated ∼3.6 billion people
at risk of infection worldwide. We have showed that Zika virus infects the
human testis (Matusali et al, J Clin Invest 2018) and persists in testicular
germ cells for months post-symptoms (Mahé et al, Lancet Infect Dis 2020). One
of our team objectives is to decipher the mechanisms responsible for the
establishment of viral reservoirs in the testis, focusing on ZIKV. Our
preliminary data suggest that persistent testis infection is enabled by a
specific innate immune response designed to ensure homeostasis in this immune
privileged organ. However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying this
persistence remain to be fully uncovered. In addition, in view of the
forecasted emergence of several viruses, there is a need to develop a
predictive model of viral persistence in the testis in order to prevent sexual
dissemination by recovered men. Hence, as part of this ANR funded-research
project, the recruited candidate will address these different facets. More
specifically, his/her work will aim at comparing the molecular signatures
obtained for testis-persistent and non-persistent viruses using single cell
RNA-seq data obtained on ex vivo infected human testis explants, and
performing in-depth mechanistic studies of new host persistence factors. The
postdoctoral researcher will thus be responsible for genomic data
interpretation and validation and for functional analyses (shRNA, CRISPR/Cas9)
in the relevant cell types. He/she will interact with UrGenT team members and
project partners at Pasteur Institute-Paris and Geneva University.
**OFFER**
We offer a 30 months- postdoctoral position in a multidisciplinary environment
that will provide opportunities for impactful research. The project will build
on state-of-the-art methodology including single-cell RNA seq combined with
unique human tissue culture, and you will have access to newly generated
genomic data. Since this is a collaborative project, you will interact with
several world-class researchers at Pasteur Institute in Paris and Geneva
University. You will enjoy a large degree of autonomy to organize your work.
The institute will support the career development of candidate who will
demonstrate their ability to successfully lead research.
**WORK ENVIRONMENT**
The UrGenT team (40 people) offers a dynamic research environment __ to study

**Start Date:** 1 October 2021
**Overview of the project**
Mitral regurgitation, backflow of blood into the left atrium, is one the most
common types of valvular disease. Minimally invasive devices for the
replacement of regurgitant mitral valves are a hot topic in the medical device
industry. However, with no large animal model of valvular regurgitation, it
remains critical to understand how valve pathological variation impacts
replacement valve performance.
This project will develop a numerical modelling framework that uses as input
cadaveric cardiac tissue, which will be imaged and reconstructed, to provide a
library of digital anatomies. These 3D representations will be digitally
reanimated using finite element analysis (FEA). This will enable realistic
numerical prediction of aged cardiac structures’ functional behaviour i.e.
reproducing the behaviour of the aged beating heart.
RCSI is looking to hire a Postdoctoral Researcher who will support the
development of this numerical modelling framework for this exciting project to
determine design constraints for next-generation mitral prostheses.
The position is initially for 12 months, with the option to extend for a
further 12 months.
**Specific duties of this post include:**
* Establishing a protocol for microCT and DT-MRI data acquisition for imaging of fixed cardiac tissue

Postdoc Researcher in Human Respiratory Immunology |
**Title:** Postdoctoral Fellow (Part time or Full Time)
**Department:** Department of Medicine & School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular
Science
**Tenure:** Specified purpose contract for up to 12 months, which can be
extended to 36 months. This post can be appointed as either a part time or
full time opportunity.
**Location:** The applicant will be primarily based in McElvaney Laboratory,
Beaumont Hospital and will collaborate with Curtis Laboratory 123 St Stephens
Green.
**Reporting to:** Prof Gerry McElvaney (primary) and Dr Annie Curtis
**Salary:** Appointable from point 2 to point 5 (depending on experience) of
the IUA Researcher Salary Scale (Level 2).
**Proposed Start Date** : Immediately
**Project and Post Description:**
This post is a unique exciting collaboration bridging the McElvaney Laboratory
at Beaumont Hospital
([www.rcsi.com/people/profile/gmcelvaney](http://www.rcsi.com/people/profile/gmcelvaney))
and the Curtis Clock Laboratory
([www.curtisclocklab.com](http://www.curtisclocklab.com)) at St Stephens
Green.
This position will provide an unparalleled opportunity to conduct cutting edge
fundamental immunobiology research as it relates to respiratory disease.
Prof. McElvaney is a world leader in the field of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT)
deficiency, which is characterised by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene. Ireland
has one of the highest prevalence of mutations in this gene. AAT deficiency is
associated with a substantially increased risk in the development of pulmonary
emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for individuals in
their 30s and 40s even in never smokers. Through the Alpha-1 Foundation in
Ireland, its detection programme and registry, Prof. McElvaney cares for and
thus has access to both patients and their families across Ireland. This
provides an unparalleled opportunity to access valuable clinical samples in
order to understand this disease and uncover new targets for treatments.
Most studies to date on AAT deficiency have focused on neutrophils, as AAT can
inhibit destructive proteases released from neutrophils in the lungs.
Monocytes and macrophages can also produce AAT and are likely conditioned by
circulating levels of AAT. However, the impact of AAT deficiency in terms of
monocyte and macrophage function in the lung has largely been ignored. This is
unfortunate as it is clear that dysregulated macrophages in the lung are
driving the pathology of COPD. Therefore, this project will comprehensively
investigate the impact of AAT deficiency on monocytes and macrophage
inflammatory pathways in humans.
**Objective:**
This post will synergise the expertise of Prof. McElvaney and Dr. Curtis. Dr.
Curtis is an expert in macrophage inflammation in particular the role which
cellular metabolism also known as “immunometabolism” plays in driving
inflammatory output. In addition to fully understanding the inflammatory
signalling pathways which are dysregulated in this condition we will also
investigate whether new immune-metabolic compounds might provide benefit. The
successful candidate will have access to cutting-edge technologies such as an
Agilent Seahorse Analyser, multiparametric flow cytometry and a number of
“omics” approaches. The role is appointable on a full time basis.
There may be times when collection of clinical samples may occur outside
normal working hours, but the candidate will be provided with significant
flexibility regarding weekly work schedules and part time options may also be
considered. The will be significant opportunity for the candidate to
independently direct this project as results unfold.
Both laboratories strongly promote a culture of collaboration, inclusivity,
diversity and equality, to ensure that all staff can reach their full
potential.
Both groups have a significant record of publishing high impact papers and the
candidate will be fully supported to apply for independent funding, should
they wish to do so.
**Specifically, the duties of the post are:**
* The successful candidate will work closely with both PIs and their teams on developing and executing novel multidisciplinary projects defining novel metabolic pathways within human innate immune cells that are under the control of the circadian clock and dysregulated in disease.
* The successful candidate will be expected to be highly motivated to perform clinical research and demonstrate a high level of independence.
* The successful candidate will work with external collaborators (both academic and industry) and internally within RCSI
* The candidate would be expected to carry out some lab management duties and assist in developing new modulaties and efficiencies to ensure proper lab maintenance
* The candidate would be expected to write scientific reports and reviews.
* The successful applicant will represent the labs work at national and international conferences
* The candidate will work in the laboratory with researchers at various training levels and would be expected to provide training and supervision of students and other staff
* Undergo appropriate training for specialised technical procedures, career training and development both in Ireland and overseas as may be required from time to time.
* Participate in other research programmes within both laboratories.
* Ensure that all RCSI policies and procedures are adhered to.
* Comply with statutory legislation and RCSI rules and requirements in furtherance of your own and general staff welfare and safety.
* Represent the best interests of RCSI at all times. |

Research Assistant (PhD Position) - Plastic STRAW |
The recycling of plastic materials is a timely research subject around the
globe. Research is carried out on efficient recycling techniques. The present
project aims to close the materials cycle of assorted plastics by research and
development on a novel separation technique. This technique differs
substantially from existing ones in that the material flows are separated in
the molten state of the polymers. A continuously working centrifuge with
peripheral devices enables mixed plastic compounds to be converted into pure
material flows. The recycling industry will benefit from knowledge and
experience gained from this project. |

Scientific employee (PhD researcher) on "Impact of turbulence and structural
modelling on Buffeting simulations" |
**Background**
Increasingly strict climate protection targets require a significant reduction
in greenhouse gas emissions, also for future aircraft. To achieve this goal,
new technologies for emission reduction must be brought to production maturity
within a short period of time and integrated into the upcoming aircraft
generation, which is achievable through increasing virtualization of the
development process and use of multidisciplinary analyses (MDA). The
computational methods used for this purpose must accurately and robustly
represent the entire flight envelope, including complex physical phenomena at
its boundaries, such as the dynamic interaction of compression shock and wing
structure oscillations known as buffeting. In cooperation with DLR, Airbus and
other research partners, this research project aims to further develop and
combine different calculation methods required for this purpose.
**Task description**
In this research project, the TU Braunschweig investigates the buffeting
phenomenon on aircraft wings by means of coupled fluid/structure simulations.
For this purpose, existing computational methods are to be integrated into an
MDA simulation platform of the project partner DLR and validated for
industrially relevant applications. Based on this, sensitivity studies are to
be carried out to determine the influence of the fidelity level of the
turbulence and structure modeling on the buffeting effect and to derive best
practices for future buffeting simulations.
The earliest start of the position is on January 1st, 2022. The position is
initially limited to a period of three years. A subsequent employment for
completing the PhD studies is possible. Depending on fulfillment of personal
requirements, the remuneration is based on the salary level TV-L E13\.
International applicants will need to successfully complete a visa process
before hiring can take place. The post is eligible for part-time.
**Application documents:**
Your application documents in German or English language are available as a
single combined pdf document consisting of a cover letter (including your
motivation), CV, academic performance record (grades during Bachelor and
Master studies including grading scale details), proof of language
proficiency, and a copy of your Master's thesis or comparable student theses.

ESR1 One Chemistry: Unified and interpretable deep neural networks model for
drug discovery |
Advanced machine learning for Innovative Drug Discovery (AIDD) Project
():
Machine learning is changing our society, as exemplified by speech and image
recognition applications. Also the life sciences change rapidly through the
use of artificial intelligence, and it is expected that fields like drug
development can take advantage of machine learning. The main goal of the AIDD
project is to train and prepare the next generation of scientists who need to
have skills in both machine learning and drug discovery and will, after
graduating, be able to helping speeding up the drug development process. The
European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network funds the AIDD
project that brings together twelve academic partners ([Helmholtz Zentrum
München (coordinator), Germany](http://ai-dd.eu/hmgu);[ Aalto University,
Finland](http://ai-dd.eu/aalto);[ Freie Universität Berlin,
Germany](http://ai-dd.eu/fub);[ Katholieke Universiteit Leuven,
Belgium](http://ai-dd.eu/kul);[ Johannes Kepler Universität Linz,
Austria;](http://ai-dd.eu/linz)[ The Swiss AI Lab IDSIA,
Switzerland](http://ai-dd.eu/supsi);[ TU Dortmund, Germany](http://ai-
dd.eu/tudo);[ Universiteit Leiden, Netherlands](http://ai-dd.eu/ulei);[
Université du Luxembourg, Luxembourg](http://ai-dd.eu/ulux);[ University of
Vienna, Austria](http://ai-dd.eu/univie);[ Universitat Pompeu Fabra,
Spain](http://ai-dd.eu/upf) and[ Vancouver Prostate Center, University of
British Columbia, Canada)](http://ai-dd.eu/ubc) as well as four industrial
partners ([AstraZeneca, Sweden](http://ai-dd.eu/astrazeneca);[ Bayer
Aktiengesellschaft](http://ai-dd.eu/bayer)[, Germany](http://ai-
dd.eu/node/10);[ Janssen Pharmaceutica NV , Belgium](http://ai-dd.eu/janssen)
and[ Enamine Limited Liability Company, Ukraine](http://ai-dd.eu/enamine)).
The AIDD network consists of 15 PhD fellowships. The employed fellows will be
supervised by academics who have strong technical expertise and have
contributed to some of the fundamental AI algorithms which are used billions
of times each day in the world, and by machine learning scientists working at
pharmaceutical companies. The developed methods by the fellows will contribute
to an integrated "One Chemistry" model that can predict outcomes ranging from
different properties to molecule generation and synthesis. The network will
offer comprehensive, structured training through a well-elaborated Curriculum,
online courses, and six schools.
Each fellow will perform research 1.5 years at an academic partner and 1.5
years at an industrial partner.
**Description of the ESR1 position:**
This is a great opportunity to potentially shape the future of drug discovery
by working on and designing innovative edge deep learning architectures.
Recent years have seen an explosion in the interest of deep neural networks
for drug discovery applications. This project aims to take the architecture to
the next level by creating an interpretable "One-Chemistry" model, which
unifies multiple predictions of physicochemical and ADME properties and
incorporates tasks from the other Ph.D. projects within the AIDD. To support
choices in drug discovery projects by understanding the reasoning of the
model, the interpretability of the model is crucial. Statistical modeling in
drug design projects reveals correlations between chemical compounds' features
and their physicochemical and biological endpoints. Though the final models
possess excellent statistical characteristics, the reasoning of the models
behind their predictions is only limited by the training dataset. Combining
different expert modules with specific internal knowledge with subsequent
simultaneous retraining on a particular problem can support the model's
reasoning by linking together knowledge about designing new compounds, their
properties, biological responses, and synthetic accessibility. The "One-
Chemistry" model will thus explain why it has picked up a particular drug
candidate relating to different areas of chemistry and biology. The entry
point will be data interpretation based on Layer-wise Relevance
Propagation[2](https://www.zotero.org/google-docs/?3BP9q9) approach
implemented within the Transformer CNN
network[3](https://www.zotero.org/google-docs/?4TmKkn) which demonstrated an
excellent performance thanks to transfer learning and data augmentation
techniques.[4](https://www.zotero.org/google-docs/?cJ4032) The successful
Ph.D. student will implement the complex system for AI drug discovery, with
pluggable modules, to design new chemical compounds. The overall method and
software will be experimentally validated in collaboration with a Ph.D.
research project aiming at finding new effective drugs against prostate
cancer.

imec, that is responsible for developing processes requested by the process
integration departments running imec’s CORE and CMORE programs. The CMP team
currently consists of ~12 people with whom you will interact on a daily basis.
You will work in a dynamic multidisciplinary environment in close cooperation
with researchers, scientists, hardware engineers, device and process experts,
equipment vendors, industrial assignees and operators.
As a specialist in your field, you will be responsible for developing,
optimizing, maintaining and documenting high-end grinding processes on state-
of-the-art equipment.
More specifically, your tasks include:
* Start-up of new Grinding and CMP equipment in the 300mm cleanroom.
* Design, conduct and analyse your experiments.
* Actively contribute to the research and joint development programs with external partners. You will drive and define these JDP activities for the new tool sets, new materials, new metrology tools and methodologies.
* Work cross-functionally with the integration/process support/hardware teams and industrial partners.
* Report about your work to internal and external partners, and via conference / journal publications.
* Monitor industry trends and innovations, applying scientific knowledge and adapting to imec research programs and activities.

Post doc in radiobiology (pharmacist, biochemist) |
High Z metallic nanoparticles (NP) as radiosensitizers have been described as
a candidate of choice for combined modalities in the last decade. New findings
have highlighted mechanisms promoted by NPs related to reactive oxygen species
(ROS) production through thioredoxine reductase (TrxR) inhibition and
mitonchondria dysfunction. This study proposes to design a novel type of gold
nanoparticle conjugated to an antibody targeting M2 macrophages (GNP) in a
pancreatic tumor model, in vitro and in vivo. The use of GNPs in combination
with proton radiation, which has previously been shown to favor a mixed M1/M2
phenotype, could lead to a full phenotype change to M1 macrophages. In the
context of the emerging field of protontherapy, with two new centres opening
soon in Belgium, it is of crucial importance to understand the impact of
concomitant use of GNPs and charged particles on immune cells. The work will
be carried out in the LARN laboratory at the University of Namur. |

Clinical trial Manager for ASA - SARS project |
ISGlobal – Barcelona Institute for Global Health is a research centre in
international health whose ultimate goal is to help close the gaps in health
disparities between and within different regions of the world. For this, we
leverage on knowledge generation (research), transmission (training) and
application (policy and global development). ISGlobal is a WHO Collaborative
Center for Malaria Elimination and Eradication.
### **Location:** Barcelona
### **What We Are Lookinng for**
* ISGlobal is looking for an experienced Clinical Trial Manager for the ASA SARS project.
### **The project**
ASA SARS is a La Marató funded, 2-year project, a randomized, double-blinded,
placebo-controlled multicentre trial in 398 SARS-CoV-2-infected pregnant women
with the objective of evaluating the efficacy and safety in reducing the
incidence of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes of adding daily LDASA to
the already recommended low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) from the first or
second trimester up to 36 weeks’ gestation in SARS-CoV-2-infected pregnant
women. Pregnant women undergoing routine first or second trimester blood tests
will have a SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test done if they agree to participate.
Women with a positive SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test will be further tested
with a confirmatory SARS-CoV-2 PCR test. In case of being also positive for
the SARS-CoV-2 PCR test, she will be randomised 1:1 to receive, additionally
to LMWH for at least 10 days, daily LDASA (150 mg) or placebo, up to 36 weeks
of pregnancy. Women will be followed-up for the duration of the intervention
and the pregnancy outcome will be registered.
The findings of this study will contribute to reduce SARS-CoV-2- related
complications in a highly vulnerable group to the infection.
The project will be conducted in 4 sites in Spain (Madrid and Barcelona) and
one site in Mozambique (Maputo)
### **Background**
SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy is associated with poor maternal and
perinatal outcomes. One explanation is the pregnancy-associated prothrombotic
status, which may increase during infection, leading to placental and vascular
complications. Administration of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (LDASA) has
been shown to improve maternal and perinatal outcomes in women at high-risk of
endothelial and placental complications. However, there are no data on the
effects of LDASA in preventing complications in SARS-CoV-2- infected pregnant
women.
### **Main duties and responsibilities**
* Ensure that all human subject research activities that will be done under the ASA SARS clinical trial are conducted under standards of Good Clinical Practices/ICH and as per clinical trial SOPs
* Support the clinical research team at the coordination office and project hospitals in the full spectrum of the trial including:
\- Protocol development
\- Obtaining ethical and regulatory approval for the trial prior to study site
initiation
\- Trial management activities from start up to close out
\- Development of trial tools and templates
\- Management of clinical trial monitors
\- Review and approval of monitoring reports
\- Review and approval of monitor timesheets and expenses
\- Site management and closure
\- Trial tracking
\- Verify that all subject research activities undertaken in project hospitals
are conducted according to the standards of - - ICH-Good Clinical Practice,
international and local regulations.
* Receives and takes appropriate action following monitoring reports
* Oversees and coordinates study drug supply from procurement to delivery on site, including the required documentation
* Maintains responsibility for the Trial Master File and archiving of thereof, for the correct filing and archiving of clinical trial documents, and the maintenance of study files.
* Coordinates, manages and participates in clinical trial meetings
* Provides project status updates and reports to the PI as required
* Risk identification and escalation to the PI
* Issue identification and applicable escalation to the PI
* Participates in site selection and initiation visits and assists with HSR training of field staff.
* Attends consortium and other meetings as required. Presents data as required.
* Contributes to funder reports |

Post Doctoral Research Fellow x2 (Edinburgh) |
Dementia is the biggest health challenge of our century.
To date there is no way to prevent it or even slow its progression, and there
is an urgent need to fill the knowledge gap in our basic understanding of the
diseases that cause it.
The [UK Dementia Research Institute](http://ukdri.ac.uk/) (UK DRI) is the
biggest UK initiative driving forward research to fill this gap.
Researchers at the [UK DRI at
Edinburgh](https://ukdri.ac.uk/centres/edinburgh) aim to piece together how
all the different brain cells, systems and processes work together to keep our
brains healthy over many decades. Unravelling how these finely-tuned
interactions are disturbed even before a person has any specific signs or
symptoms of dementia – and how changes are involved in driving disease
progression – will open new avenues for the development of novel therapies.
We are looking for a postdoctoral research fellow with strong molecular
biology expertise in the field of neuroscience to work in the Montagne lab at
the UK Dementia Research Institute.
To work within a world-renowned research institute that is focused on
understanding how all the different cell types in our brains work together to
keep the brain healthy, how this goes wrong in dementia, and how this process
can be slowed or stopped to alter disease progression. The Montagne lab will
particularly focus on the brain vasculature with the aim to understand how
vascular dysfunction contribute to dementia. |

M-2117 - POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN THE FIELD OF ELECTROCALORIC CERAMICS FOR
SOLID STATE COOLING |
Description
**Are you passionate about research? So are we! Come and join us**
The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and
Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment
and IT. By transforming scientific knowledge into technologies, smart data and
tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their
decisions and businesses in their strategies.
**You ‘d like to contribute as a researcher? Join our Materials Research and
Technology department**
Through its research into advanced materials and processes, the “Materials
Research and Technology” (MRT) department, with its 200 researchers and
engineers, contributes to the emergence of enabling technologies that underpin
the innovation processes of local and international industry. MRT’s activities
hinge on four thematic pillars: nanomaterials and nanotechnology, scientific
instrumentation and process technology, structural composites, and functional
polymers.
The department also includes four high-tech platforms, focusing on composites,
prototyping, characterization and testing. These platforms serve both LIST
research staff, and other stakeholders in Luxembourg.
Responsibilities
**How will you contribute?**
The energy needed to cool down our houses and our food stands for 15 % of the
overall energy spent in the world. Electrocaloric materials could be an
alternative to suppress the greenhouse gases from our fridges and improve
their efficiency. These materials experience large variations of temperature
when a voltage is applied. LIST has recently developed an electrocaloric heat
pump exhibiting a temperature variation of 13 K, the largest ever recorded
(Torello et al., Science 370, 125 (2020)). This position is a continuation of
this pioneering work.
The objective of this position is to make a heat pump based on electrocaloric
ceramic modules and to show that this device can exhibit a temperature
gradient as large as 20 K close to room temperature. More specifically, the
successful candidate will characterize and assemble electrocaloric cooling
modules fabricated by our partner (Murata). Thorough characterisations will be
performed on the fabricated modules (IR camera, ferroelectric loops, DSC).
These modules will eventually be assembled in a heat exchanger proof of
concept and tested on a dedicated set-up. |

PhD position in Data-Driven Multi-Modal Human-Robot Interaction |
One of the most pressing matters that holds back robots from taking on more
tasks and reach a widespread deployment in society is their limited ability to
understand human communication and take situation-appropriate actions. This
PhD position is dedicated to addressing this gap by developing the underlying
data-driven models that enable a robot to engage with humans in a socially
aware manner.
In order to support long-term interaction, robots need rich models of
interaction that include their social context and allow them to act
appropriately when faced with uncertainty. Humans use a range of verbal and
non-verbal cues to regulate their interactions and are able to adapt how they
communicate and cooperate to fit the needs and preferences of their
interaction partners. Personalization and adaptation is needed to enable
robots to assist people with varying backgrounds and abilities.
The successful applicant will develop machine-learning based and knowledge
modelling techniques applied to multi-sensor data (video, audio etc.) of human
behaviour that address both the complexity of the multi-modal nature of
interactions and uncertainty regarding the sensor data and social
situation.The applicant will design and run the experiments to evaluate the
created hybrid-AI models through human-robot interaction.
Topics of interest:
1) long-term human-robot interaction
2) affective computing
2) NLP&argument-mining
3) planning & learning for HRI
4) assistive robotics
The Phd candidate will be supervised by Dr. Frank Broz and Prof. Mark
Neerincx, focusing on planning and learning for long-term HRI.
To strengthen the social robotics strand of the Interactive Intelligence Group
at TU-Delft there are currently two positions available with potential for
collaboration. When you're interested in the other vacancy please have a look

Post-doctoral fellow (2-year contract) |
## Context:
Proton therapy (PT) is a therapeutic modality for treating cancer, with a
specific capacity to deliver radiation dose into the tumor while maximally
sparing surrounding healthy organs, therefore leading to a better quality of
treatments, a reduction of the side effects and globally an enhanced quality
of life for the patients. While radiotherapy (RT) is involved today in about
50% of cancer treatments, less than 1% of these treatments are delivered
through PT. Although it offers clinical advantages through superior dose
distribution, reducing the risk of normal tissue damage and increasing the
chances of cure thanks to dose escalation, PT is a costly new technology that
comes with a high initial capital cost and operating expense. Today, PT is
considered 5 times more expensive than conventional RT. Flash and Grid therapy
may help to reduce, if not erase, the cost difference between PT and
conventional RT. In addition to enhance cancer cell killing PT may also tune
tumor microenvironment, for example by reprogramming tumor-associated
macrophages.
Flash therapy is based on the delivery of ultra-high dose rates requiring beam
intensities that are several orders of magnitude higher than in conventional
treatments. Grid therapy, on the other hand, consists in splitting the
original clinical beam (photon or proton), using an engineered device or a
devised method, to a set of smaller beams (“Beamlets”) equally spaced by a
couple of mm. Both aim at sparing the upstream healthy tissues and open the
doors towards hypofractionation. By adding Grid and Flash therapy to the
current treatment modalities, Proton Therapy treatment room owners could treat
up to 3000 patients year, 7 times more than with conventional radiation
therapy machines (LINACS). This would result in making PT more affordable than
RT while improving the treatment quality as sparing healthy tissues is further
enhanced.
## Work environment:
In this context, one position is available at Namur Research Institute for
Life Sciences (NARILIS, LARN-URBC, UNamur) to work on proton irradiation as
well as FLASH and GRID irradiations in close collaborations with IBA
(worldwide leader in proton therapy technology, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium).
Since 15 years, the NARILIS Radiobiology Team develops research projects
focussed on the improvement of radiotherapeutic processes. The laboratory has
a 2MV particle accelerator and a 225 kV X-ray irradiator as well as a full
access to the NARILIS Institute's molecular and cellular biology laboratories.
## Job position:
For this job position, we are looking for highly motivated researchers who can
work in transdisciplinary team composed of biologists, physicists, chemists
and engineers. These works are funded by the Walloon Region and have the
potential to revolutionise the fight against cancer using radiotherapy. |

**Project name** :
Mindfulness as an intervention reducing retaliatory aggression to social
exclusion among collective narcissists.
**Description** :
The project investigates how collective narcissists react to intergroup
exclusion and marginalization of their own group. Their physiological,
neuronal, and self-reported reactions while witnessing intergroup exclusion
are examined as mediators of their behavioral reactions. We examine whether
the distress in face of exclusion can be reduced by mindfulness. The project
is run in collaboration with American and British collaborators.

Doctoral scholarship |
**Project name** :
Mindfulness as an intervention reducing retaliatory aggression to social
exclusion among collective narcissists.
**Description** :
The project investigates how collective narcissists react to intergroup
exclusion and marginalization of their own group. Their physiological,
neuronal, and self-reported reactions while witnessing intergroup exclusion
are examined as mediators of their behavioral reactions. We examine whether
the distress in face of exclusion can be reduced by mindfulness. The project
is run in collaboration with American and British collaborators.

2 PhD positions in Biotechnology |
### This is NTNU
At NTNU, creating knowledge for a better world is the vision that unites our 7
400 employees and 42 000 students.
We are looking for dedicated employees to join us.
You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the positions
Two 3-year PhD fellowships are available at the Department of Biotechnology
and Food Science, NTNU (Trondheim, Norway), with an expected start January 1st
2022. The fellowships are funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research
and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No
956481.
You will report to Professor Ingrid Bakke.
**About RASOPTA**
The RASOPTA consortium consists of enthusiastic academic researchers and
innovative non-academic partners, which together will train a new generation
of scientists with expertise in sustainable and healthy fish production with
minimum water consumption. Production of fish in recirculated aquaculture
systems (RAS) requires experiences from several scientific disciplines, but
there is need to bridge existing knowledge gaps between these disciplines to
ensure a high water quality, healthy and non-stressed fish, and a supreme
consumer quality of the fish. Therefore, in RASOPTA state-of-the-art training
in important disciplines within RAS technology will be provided by 10
universities and research institutes and 8 non-academic partners in 8
countries. Primary goals of the training are to improve microbial processes to
maintain a good water quality, to identify flavor compounds that may affect
consumer preference for fish from RAS, and to ensure an optimum health and
welfare of the fish. The research also aims at developing a DNA-based chip for
early warning of quality and health of the fish. To reach the
interdisciplinary goals in RASOPTA, the consortium will train 12 Early Stage
Researchers (ESRs) in disciplines ranging from chemistry, microbiology and
molecular biology, to physiology and pathology of fish.
## About the NTNU ESR projects
The two PhD positions announced here, corresponding to ESR1 and ESR3, will be
involved in Work package 1 of the RASOPTA project, which focuses on water
quality in RAS. This WP will particularly investigate aspects regarding
microbes and particles in RAS and includes a third ESR (ESR2) recruited by the
Agricultural Centre for cattle production, grassland management, dairy food,
wildlife and fisheries Baden-Württemberg (LAZBW).
**Duties of the positions**
**ESR1** : In RAS, biofilters for microbial conversion of toxic ammonia to
nitrate are mandatory. In addition to the chemical water quality, the
biofilter may also affect the microbial water quality; either positively,
through consumption of substrates and nutrients, and thereby reducing the
growth of suspended microbes, or negatively, as a potential reservoir for
detrimental bacteria. The influence of RAS biofilters on the microbial water
quality is poorly understood and will be a major topic for ESR1.
**ESR3** : The microbes suspended in the RAS water are those potentially
interacting with the fish in the rearing tanks, and thus may affect both the
composition of the fish microbiomes and the fish health and welfare. There are
indications that a major part of bacteria suspended in RAS are associated with
particles, but little is known about their potential interactions with the
fish and the fish microbiomes. ESR3 will focus on the interactions between the
microbiomes suspended in the water and those associated with the fish.
Mobility within the RASOPTA training network will be highly prioritized. For
ESR1, secondments are planned at the University of Copenhagen and at a large
Norwegian commercial RAS facility for production Atlantic salmon smolt. For
ESR3, expected secondments are at LAZBW in Baden-Württemberg in Germany, and
at LetSea, a Norwegian center for large-scale aquaculture experiments and
research.
The candidates will be enrolled in the PhD program in Biotechnology
() at the Faculty of Natural Sciences,
NTNU. The graduate program requires the student to obtain 30 ECTS points
during the three-year period in order to graduate. Of these, mandatory
training activities in RASOPTA will contribute with 12 ECTS points.
## Required selection criteria
**Eligibility criteria**
The researcher must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity
(work, studies, etc.) in Norway for more than 12 months in the 3 years
immediately prior to the recruitment at NTNU - unless as part of a procedure

advances at the interface of evolutionary quantitative genetics and movement
ecology.
Wild populations experiencing locally deteriorating environmental conditions
can in principle persist through phenotypic plasticity or micro-evolution, or
by moving elsewhere. While these three mechanisms have each received
considerable attention, we still know little about how they can act in
combination, for example through micro-evolution of the degree of plasticity
in seasonal movement.
The primary aims for the postdoctoral position are to apply advanced
quantitative genetic analyses to a multi-year dataset from a wild bird
population to estimate forms of plasticity and genetic variation in the
occurrence of seasonal migration versus residence, specifically focusing on
early life (i.e. pre-recruitment years). Achieving these objectives will
require linking quantitative genetic animal model analyses with capture-mark-
recapture analyses.
The post will suit a quantitative ecologist, evolutionary biologist or
ecological statistician with interest in applying advanced statistical methods
to quantify patterns, causes and consequences of phenotypic variation arising
in wild populations. There will be scope for the post holder to innovate and
develop particular aspects of the work programme.
The post is part of a research project funded by the Research Council of
Norway (RCN). The post holder will work with Professor Jane Reid and Dr Paul
Acker at CBD, NTNU, with further support from statistician Associate Professor
Stefanie Muff. This team can provide further training and support in the
required analyses. The post holder will also work closely with a PhD student
and two further postdoctoral researchers at CBD, and with the research team of
Dr Francis Daunt, CEH, UK, utilizing the available field dataset on European
shags in Scotland.
## Duties of the position
* Undertake advanced quantitative genetic and capture-mark-recapture analyses of multi-year data from a wild bird population (European shags)
* Contribute to developing and testing novel statistical models and analytical methods
* Produce high quality manuscripts and presentations for research dissemination
* Contribute to collecting, collating and checking field data
* Contribute to building a collaborative and interactive local and international research environment, including collaborating with theoreticians
## Required selection criteria
* You must have completed a Norwegian doctoral degree, or a corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian PhD, before starting the position
* You must have relevant experience in evolutionary ecology, population biology and/or ecological or evolutionary statistics, ideally with experience in evolutionary quantitative genetics and/or demographic variation
* You must have good competence in advanced statistical analyses, including mixed models, and ideally including Bayesian approaches and/or capture-mark-recapture methods
* You must have good competence in using R, or other appropriate statistical programming languages
* You must have willingness to learn, and help to develop and test, new advanced analytical methods
* You must have experience of publishing in high-quality journals and/or of preparing manuscripts for submission, appropriate to career stage

PhD fellowship in RASOPTA at the Department of Food Sciences |
A 3-year PhD fellowship is available at the Department of Food Science (FOOD),
Design and Consumer Behavour (DCB), University of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg,
Denmark, with an expected start January 1st 2022.
The fellowship is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No
956481.
**About RASOPTA**
The RASOPTA consortium consists of enthusiastic academic researchers and
innovative non-academic partners, which together will train a new generation
of scientists with expertise in sustainable and healthy fish production with
minimum water consumption. Production of fish in recirculated aquaculture
systems (RAS) requires experiences from several scientific disciplines, but
there is need to bridge existing knowledge gaps between these disciplines to
ensure a high water quality, healthy and non-stressed fish, and a supreme
consumer quality of the fish.Therefore, in RASOPTA state-of-the-art training
in important disciplines within RAS technology will be provided by 10
universities and research institutes and 8 non-academic partners in 8
countries. Primary goals of the training are to improve microbial processes to
maintain a high water quality, to identify flavour compounds that may affect
consumer preference for fish produced in RAS, and to ensure an optimum health
and welfare of the fish. The research also aims at developing a DNA-based chip
for early warning of quality and health of the fish. To reach these
interdisciplinary goals in RASOPTA, the consortium will train 12 Early Stage
Researchers (ESRs) in disciplines ranging from chemistry, microbiology and
molecular biology, to physiology and pathology of fish.
**About your project**
The PhD (ESR) project at FOOD-DCB is part of a work package on microbiology
and chemistry of off-flavour dynamics and will be carried out in collaboration
with three other ESRs, enrolled at Department of Plant and Environmental
Sciences, University of Copenhagen (PLEN), Friedrich-Alexander-Universität,
Dept. Chemistry & Pharmacy, Germany (FAU), and the research institute ****
Fraunhofer, Inst. for Process Engineering & Packaging, Freising, Germany
(IVV).
At FOOD, important tasks for the PhD student will be to identify off-flavour
compounds in marine RAS, investigate effect of novel techniques for off-
flavour removal such as ozone treatment, investigate the impact of organic or
inorganic off-flavours resulting from ozone treatment, design experiments to
enable modelling of off-flavour removal using novel techniques, link
instrumental analyses to sensory quality of fish from marine RAS, and
investigate the possibilities in the use of time-resolved measurements with
PTR-ToF-MS (e.g. dynamic measurements of off-flavour-producing cultures
growing in the lab, or the physical location of geosmin in the intact fish).
Interactions between academic partners and between universities and industries
are important elements in RASOPTA. To ensure collaboration between the
European partners in the project, stays at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität
(advanced techniques for measuring volatiles in fish and water; co-supervisor
A. Buettner) and at Atlantic Sapphire (obtaining knowledge about the RAS
system, sampling of water and fish from relevant sites at relevant times) are
included in the project. Duration of the stays is estimated to 3 months.
The candidate will be enrolled at the PhD School of Science (Graduate Program
in Natural Sciences, [www.science.ku.dk/phd/](http://www.science.ku.dk/phd/))
at the University of Copenhagen. The graduate program requires the student to
obtain 30 ECTS points during the three-year period in order to graduate.

PhD Position - Neural Network Architectures for Linguistics and Digital
Humanities Applications |
Recent machine learning methods based on neural transformer architectures have
greatly improved the state of the art for a wide range of natural language
processing applications, such as machine translation (Vaswani et al., 2017)
and general natural language understanding (Devlin et al., 2019). In this
project, the goal is to adapt and exploit transformer architectures as a means
for the exploration and analysis of linguistic phenomena, and to explore their
use for applications within the field of digital humanities.
Current state of the art NLP systems are typically trained using self-
supervision in the form of a masked language modeling objective. The
transformer architecture receives as input a large corpus where a certain
amount of tokens is replaced with a special mask symbol. The model’s goal is
then to predict the original tokens that have been masked out. In order to
make the correct prediction, the model needs to pay close attention to the
surrounding context; as such, it builds up precise contextualized
representations for the tokens in the sentence. Once the model has been pre-
trained on a large corpus using self-supervision, it is then typically
finetuned on a specific task using a limited amount of supervised training
data. This two stage setup generally leads to state of the art performance on
a wide range of NLP tasks, ranging from explicit linguistic annotation tasks
(POS tagging, named entity recognition) to more general natural language
understanding tasks (sentiment analysis, natural language inference, etc.), as
tested by well-known benchmarks such as GLUE and SuperGLUE.
There is corroborating evidence that self-supervised transformer architectures
implicitly encode a wide range of linguistic knowledge, from part of speech
information over syntactic structure to co-reference information (Peters et
al., 2018; Hewitt et al., 2019; Linzen et al., 2019). We will investigate to
what extent such implicit linguistic representations might be exploited as a
tool for linguistic analysis. More specifically, we will investigate whether
the linguistic information present in the models might be distilled for the
purpose of similarity computations. Such a process would allow one to
automatically harvest a corpus of linguistically similar structures, in order
to support linguistic analyses. Moreover, as transformer architectures
simultaneously encode syntactic and semantic information in their
contextualized representations, this would allow one to automatically harvest
syntactically disparate realizations of similar semantic content, providing an
adequate means for a linguistic analysis of the syntax-semantics interface.
The architecture described above makes use of a single encoder setup: the
input sentence i... For more information see

PhD Candidate in Organizational Sociology connected to the research group

## About the position
The PhD-position in organizational sociology is a temporary position for a
period of three years, connected to the research group “Organization and
Society”. The position may be extended by up to one year if the candidate is

environmental pollution. Meta-organizations, i.e., organizations that have
other organizations as their members, play an important role in tackling such
challenges.
The specific project is supposed to focus on the issue of ocean governance.
Oceans are particularly relevant in terms of grand challenges, because they
are subject to multiple and combined threats of ongoing pollution, global

PhD student |
The main aim of the project is to develop adaptive materials made of plasmonic
and semiconductor nanocrystals for applications in photovoltaics and light
emitting devices. We hypothesize that it is possible to combat current
limitations of photonic devices by proper chemical functionalization of
nanoparticles which would allow to: (i) deviate from the most widely
investigated closed-packed symmetries of materials, (ii) achieve responsive
materials with dynamically controlled structure and (iii) use responsive
materials to prepare gradient and binary structures.
Key responsibilities:
1\. Synthesis of metallic nanoparticles.
2\. Organic synthesis of mesogenic compounds.
3\. Preparation of nanocomposites (nanoparticles in a liquid crystal matrix).
4\. Characterization of nanomaterials using a number of different methods
(e.g. TEM, SEM, SAXS, UV-Vis, AFM)
5\. Participation in the preparation of equipment for laser ordering of
nanomaterials.
The engagement will be for 15 months. |

Economics & Policy Analyst, Global Methane |
With world attention on both the environment and the economy, Environmental
Defense Fund (EDF) is where policymakers and business leaders turn for win-win
solutions. By focusing on strong science, uncommon partnerships and market-
based approaches, we tackle urgent threats with practical solutions. We are
one of the world’s largest environmental organizations, with more than two
million members and a staff of approximately 700 scientists, economists,
policy experts, and other professionals around the world. We operate in 22
geographies with unique projects running across four programs. You will be
part of a vibrant workplace where innovation and results are a way of life.
EDF envisions a world in which people from all backgrounds and experiences
feel connected to the environmental challenges we face and are engaged in
creating durable, equitable solutions. We seek talented candidates who share
our Core Values of Respect, Results, Innovation, Optimism, and Integrity, and
support our Commitment to Diversity.
**EDF’s Office of the Chief Economist Overview**
The Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) is the nexus of economics at EDF,
ensuring that the economic thinking that is the backbone for all EDF policy
positions is based on the best available research and information. To be most
effective in this role, the Office of the Chief Economist provides support for
other teams throughout EDF and fosters relationships with economists outside
the organization.
**EDF’s Global Methane Work Overview**
As recently highlighted by the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report the world needs
to rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid the worst
consequences of climate change. A key goal for EDF is therefore to bend the
curve on greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas production and use by 2030,
while meeting the world’s energy needs cleanly and equitably.
We are pursuing this goal through activities targeted at 1) reducing emissions
from oil and gas production, delivery, and use, and 2) reducing demand for oil
and gas in power generation, transportation, buildings, and industry. To
achieve our goal, we seek reforms in law, regulation, and/or business practice
through a set of strategic corporate partnerships, direct engagement with
policymakers in key jurisdictions, and mobilizing investor and public
sentiment in favor of change. Our approach is to develop durable solutions
based on cutting-edge science, technical innovation, and rigorous economic and
financial analysis.
As a core part of this work, EDF seeks to reduce global oil and gas methane
emissions 45% from 2012 levels by the end of 2025. Our long-term vision is
that effective government policies and industry practices will virtually
eliminate methane emissions from the oil and gas industry, thereby reducing
total anthropogenic methane emissions by approximately one-third and slowing
the rate of warming.
**Overall Function**
Sitting within OCE and working closely with EDF experts from other
disciplines, including EDF Europe staff, the Economics & Policy Analyst,
Global Methane will be a key team member conducting research and analysis with
a focus on supporting EDF’s global methane work. You will engage on a variety
of topics that relate to our global methane work, with an expected focus on

various jurisdictions (with a focus on the European Union, Japan, South Korea
and China), oil and gas imports and exports, policy design, the social cost of
methane, etc.
• Help write reports and academic papers summarizing research for a broader

Post-doctorate in climatology (H/F) |
\- Review of the different conceptual theories of ENSO and their ability to
represent the diversity of observed ENSO events and those simulated by global
climate models.
\- Improve current theoretical models or develop new ones to better model the
diversity of ENSO events by considering atmospheric processes that are thought
to be potential sources of non-linearity for the coupled ocean-atmosphere
system in the tropical Pacific
\- Develop a conceptual framework to describe and interpret the diversity of
ENSO events as simulated (historical simulations and future scenarios) by the
climate models used for the simulations carried out in the last international
climate model intercomparison exercise CMIP6 ().
In the framework of the ANR ARISE project "Role of the non-linearity of the
atmospheric response to ocean temperature in the physics of ENSO (El Niño-
Southern Oscillation)" (), we are
looking for a candidate to carry out research in the CECI laboratory (Climat,
Environnement, Couplages et Incertitudes, UMR5318 CNRS/Cerfacs, Toulouse,
France; ) on the non-linear dynamics of ENSO. The main
objective of this research work is to better understand the factors that
influence the characteristics of ENSO events observed and simulated by climate
models (phasing over the seasonal cycle, diversity and asymmetry,
predictability). The methodology will be based on theoretical models and
numerical experimentation with models of conceptual to intermediate
complexity.
The project will improve existing conceptual approaches to model the diversity
of ENSO events by considering atmospheric processes that are thought to be a
potential source of non-linearity for the coupled ocean-atmosphere system in
the tropical Pacific region. The expected results will also allow the
interpretation of the latest generation of coupled global models that the
candidate will also analyse.
The research work will take place at the CECI laboratory in Toulouse. The
laboratory has about fifty researchers, engineers, technicians, administrative
staff, post-doctoral students and doctoral students and also offers numerous
internships at master's level or equivalent. CECI's research themes are:
climate variability and change (with a particular focus on uncertainties and
extreme events), environmental risks (forest fires, floods, air pollution),
coupling methods, data assimilation and modelling from data (machine
learning). The person recruited will be hosted in the Global Change and
Climate Modelling (GLOBC) team of CECI and will be supervised by Boris Dewitte
(IRD researcher on secondment to CECI) and by Laurent Terray, CECI director.
The research work will also benefit from a close collaboration with Gilles
Bellon from CNRM/Météo-France and with the other partners of the ARISE
project. |

Postdoc position in Computer Science & Electrical Engineering |
Our research goal is to exploit light for communication and sensing.
For almost a century, radio frequency has monopolized wireless communication,
and more recently sensing. But it is time for light to make a comeback. Light
was the first means to achieve long range communication (e.g. fire towers and
mirrors) and with recent advances in smart materials and optics we want it to
be a pervasive means to communicate and sense in future smart cities. A few of
the exciting projects that we are currently working on are: (1) To provide
navigation services to drones only with light bulbs, without using cameras,
GPS or radios of any type, (2) To transform lights into Internet of Thing
devices for human-computer interaction, any LED can be converted into a
wireless transmitter without disrupting its main purpose for illumination, (3)
To exploit sunlight for wireless communication, we are controlling the level
of transparency of window panels so they can transmit data to a smartphone or
laptop, without causing any disturbances to users.
You will be part of team formed by PhD and Master students working jointly to
create a radically different infrastructure: one that relies solely on light
and operates in a sustainable manner. At the core of our systems are the use
of MEMS and smart materials that can control the amount of light passing
through them (similar to using a mirror to change light reflection patterns).
We are building novel hardware, analytical frameworks and systems. The
ultimate goal is to transform the 'passive' lights and 'dead' surfaces in our
cities and buildings into wireless transmitters and sensors.
We are looking for candidates that are aiming at faculty positions or research
labs and would like to take the Postdoc position as a means to strengthen
their publishing, technical and advising skills. Our group publishes at
visible venues in our areas such as Mobicom, SenSys, IPSN, Percom and Infoco |

PhD Position Passive and Active Sensor Nodes for Cheap and Reliable Condition
Monitoring of Civil Structures |
Currently, evaluation techniques such as visual inspection, acoustic emission,
and ultrasonic testing are used to detect and evaluate damage in civil
structures such as bridges, buildings, and tunnels. However, some of these
techniques are costly and require frequent maintenance, while others cannot
evaluate the safety of the entire structure and the need of retrofitting. In
addition the sensors used are costly and bulky and mainly connected by wires.
Development of new real-time methodologies and sensor nodes to evaluate
quickly the health condition of materials would add a great value in the
condition assessment of civil structures. This will enable a rapid
prioritization of preventive works and add resilience to the maintenance and
disaster-mitigation procedures by providing a reliable decision-making
framework.
This project aims to develop novel visual, magnetic and acoustic emission
based sensor nodes for integration on materials in civil structures, which are
power-free, wireless and affordable. Integrating sensors on structures, would
eliminate the inconvenience of attaching hardware. This is very important for
continuous monitoring, which requires the prolonged maintenance for
installation of sensors and their associated wires. The sensor will
communicate the data using visual inspection, contactless induction process,
or Radio Frequency Identification technology. A self-contained and
environmentally friendly energy source based on a triboelectric nanogenerator,
which is capable of harvesting energy from the structural movements, will also
be developed to provide the power free concept. Such sensors offer a
comfortable and almost imperceptible way of continuous monitoring, as opposed
to heavy and bulky equipment currently in use for the same purpose. In
addition novel decision making algorithms will be developed to fuse different
datasets collected from the developed sensors to provide a real-time
evaluation method for the rapid and continuous monitoring of civil structures
pointing out the necessity for strengthening. |

PhD Position Computational Modelling of Mechanics of Masonry Structures |
A significant portion of our built environment comprises masonry structures,
which are ageing and vulnerable to earthquakes, vibrations as well as
settlement-induced damage. Failure of such structures can often be sudden and
brittle, leading to significant life and economic losses. Accurate analysis
and assessment of these structures is imperative in order to gauge their
vulnerability to collapse and facilitate timely interventions if needed. In
practice, analysis of such structures is typically conducted using analytical
(code-based) assessment methods. However, such methods can be oversimplified
and conservative, and consequently lead to expensive and at times unnecessary
intervention measures. Alternatively, such structures could be analysed using
more detailed numerical modelling tools such as finite element models (FEM) or
discrete element methods (DEM). However such tools tend to be computationally
expensive and time-consuming, especially when trying to model collapse of
larger-scale structural assemblies.
In this project, you will focus on bridging the gap between accuracy and
efficiency through the development of novel, computationally-efficient
strategies for the numerical modelling of masonry structures subjected to
seismic, settlement and/or transient loading. Additionally, you will work on
the development and implementation of new constitutive models to more
realistically model quasi-brittle failure of such structures within the
computational modelling framework. The robustness of the developed approaches
will be tested through implementation in different computational modelling
software (i.e. FEM vs DEM), as well as through application to the assessment
of case studies within the Netherlands. The ultimate objective would be to
create novel, practice-oriented modelling tools which can rapidly be utilised
by engineers in the field for the seismic and stability assessment of masonry
constructions. |

Post-doctoral position in Health Law |
Lund University is a full-scale and research-intensive university, and the
only Swedish university to be part of the strong international networks League
of European Research Universities (LERU) and Universitas 21 (U21). Lund
University has partner universities in close to 70 countries and attracts more
international students than any other higher education institution in Sweden.
The Faculty of Law is characterised by internationalisation, the intertwining
of education and research, interdisciplinarity, as well as close and boundary-
crossing collaboration with wider society. The Faculty’s research environment
and PhD-education are markedly international and, alongside the professional
law degree, the Faculty offers several international Master’s programmes.
**Subject**
One post-doctoral position in Health law
**Subject description**
The subject health law covers various legal aspects of international,
national, local and private functions and activities related to human health.
Health law often raises fundamental human rights issues, such as the right to
protection of life, the best attainable health, protection against inhuman and
degrading treatment, protection of privacy and protection against deprivation
of liberty. The subject deals with issues that affect people at different and
vulnerable stages of life. Many areas within the field of health law concern
the protection of the individual's life, integrity, human dignity, and global
health. The field of health law also concerns public efforts to prevent or
tackle health-related problems through general contributions or actions in a
society. Health law often adopts an interdisciplinary approach, which can
include fields such as medical ethics, global health and medical technology.
The COVID19 pandemic illustrates the important role of health law in society,
its timeliness and its multifaceted place on the legal map. There are many
urgent issues connected to pandemics, future crises and global health. One
major concern is about how to fulfil society's goals in the event of a future
pandemic to minimize mortality and morbidity in the population and other
negative consequences for the individual and society by means of regulation.
Legal restrictions and other public measures introduced to combat and
pandemics can have both a positive and a negative impact on public health. For
example, the measures can counteract the spread of the virus but also lead to
restrictions in basic democratic freedoms and rights, freedom of movement and
personal integrity. The topic calls for research on the relation between the
society and the individual, connected with a legal framework with rights and
responsibilities. The situation has legal and ethical dimensions in both the
short and the long run. How to fight a pandemic can affect different interests
and values in society and how values and conflicts of interest can and should
be managed. What values should be safeguarded and what principles should guide
decision-making in the short and the long run are core research issues for
legal and ethical perspectives of a pandemic or such global health crises.
Legal analyses of the short and long-term consequences for the vulnerability
of the individual (such as poverty, bad health, domestic violence,
unemployment, discrimination) as well as the society as a whole are other
issues of concern.
The position is partly financed by and part of the EU research program “The
European Alliance for Global Health – Transformation through Joint Research
and Innovation Action” (EUGLOHRIA) with researchers from five European
universities, including Lund University. The program sets out an ambitious
agenda with research addressing global health challenges ranging in tackling
global health crises, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. This
interdisciplinary research program includes a joint action plan in research on
pandemics with a focus on COVID-19 and its ramifications. The post doc
researcher will be part of the Swedish research team in this program with an
individual project (self-designed or in collaboration with the research team).
The researchers in law and ethics at Lund University in the program are
Professors of Law Titti Mattsson and Jessica Almqvist and Professor of Medical
ethics Nils-Eric Sahlin. The position will be placed at the Health Law
Research Centre at the Faculty of Law at Lund University. The Health Law
Research Centre is an interdisciplinary group of national and international
experts in different areas of law and ethics. For more information, see
.
**Duties**
Mainly research but work duties include teaching for up to a maximum of 20
percent of working hours.
The researchers and teachers at the Faculty are expected to contribute to a
dynamic research environment as well as to other Faculty activities, and to
perform work primarily in the workplace provided by the Faculty.
Teaching staff employed as a post doctor are offered the opportunity to
undertake further training in teaching and learning in higher education of at
least three weeks within the scope of their employment.
**Qualifications**
A person shall be qualified for appointment as a postdoctoral fellow who has
been awarded a doctor’s degree in legal science or a degree deemed equivalent
to a doctor’s degree in legal science. The doctor´s degree must be completed
no more than three years prior to the application deadline.
Candidates who have completed their degree earlier than this can be considered
if special grounds exist. Special grounds include leave of absence because of
illness, parental leave, positions as elected representative in trade union
organisations and other similar circumstances.
For a post doctor at Lund University, the general qualification requirements
concern being suitable for and having the ability in general that is needed to
satisfactorily carry out the duties of the appointment in question.
**Assessment criteria**
The assessment criteria for the current post are a good ability to develop and
carry out high-quality research and teaching skills. The primary focus of the
assessment shall be on research expertise.

PhD scholarship in Biology, Jagiellonian Univesrsity, Poland |
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to join the Evolutionary
Physiology Team of Dr. Paweł Koteja. The successful candidate will work in a
project of Edyta Sadowska “Mechanisms determining predatory behavior: insights
from an experimental evolution on bank vole”.
Description of project
One of the main challenges in biology is to understand the evolution of
complex adaptations that allow realization of the astonishing variety of
"lifestyles." Predator-prey interactions are important components in
ecological communities, where under the pressure of natural selection,
predators have evolved a variety of behavioral, morphological and/or
physiological adaptations for detecting, catching, killing, and digesting
prey. The examples include the wolf with its cooperate hunting skills, the
cheetah - the world’s fastest land animal, the golden eagle with excellent
eyesight that allows to spot even a small prey from the great height, or the
grasshopper mouse Onychomys, hunting on cotton rats that are three times their
weight. The predatory behavior is important not only from the ecological and
evolutionary, but also from biomedical perspective. It is surprising that our
knowledge concerning biological mechanism determining the predatory aggression
is very limited, especially in comparison with that concerning conspecific-
directed aggressive behavior.
The main question to be addressed in the project:
Characterization of details of the predatory behavior to learn whether the
selection increased only the propensity to attack, or also the hunting skills.
Is selection for predatory behavior caused changes in conspecific-directed
aggression?
Assessing the contribution of “nature – nurture” effects on the behavioral
differences between the predatory and control lines.
Uncovering the mechanisms underlying the differences due to selection for
predatory behavior, we will investigate hormones, neurotransmitters and brain
activity activated by recent experience with crickets.
We will use our unique experimental evolution model system: lines of a rodent,
the bank vole, selected for predatory behavior. The biochemical and
neurological methods will be used to uncover the mechanisms underlying the
differences due to selection for predatory behaviour. We will apply a cross-
fostering experiment in which newborn voles will be exchanged between mothers
from the selected and control lines. This will allow to test whether rearing
by a predatory mother increases predatory propensity of an individual
independently of its genetic background. Samples of tissues will be preserved
for follow-up project focused on for investigation of the molecular background
(gene expression level).

income levels and groups size for income classes. Now we move forward
explaining drivers of long-term trends of wealth accumulation, specifically
the nexus between elites, colonial policies and commercialization.
More specifically, the researcher will construct a social table for the non-
wage sector in Kenya in the colonial era. S/he will identify income classes
including economic elites within the African population and address the
drivers and mechanisms behind their various developments. Emphasis in the
project is on collecting raw data, creating new data and using existing
databases for population, wages, prices, living costs and so on. The sources
and methods are both quantitative and qualitative, but no advanced
quantitative analysis is required.
Work tasks involve data collection, digitisation and analysis as well as
writing a data paper that can constitute the basis for a publication in
international, well-renowned journals. The work should be done independently
but also in collaboration with other members of the research team. The
researcher should participate in relevant workshops and participate in the
common activities of the African Economic History research group.
****Requirements****
A doctoral degree in economic history, history or economics is a requirement
for employment. Scholarly proficiency is the main requirement for employment.
****Basis of Assessment****
The holder of the position should be competent and experienced enough to be
able to carry out independent research in the field of African Economic
History. Documented background in the field, primarily proven through

PhD researcher interface public health & biology |
Doctoral fellowship for the research project NITROPOL-BE « Impacts of nitrogen
deposition in the natural environment on pollen allergy and respiratory
infection outcomes in Belgium »
The research project
Allergic disorders related to pollen exposure are associated with an important
burden of disease because of their high prevalence, often life-long morbidity
impact, and their role in increasing the susceptibility to respiratory viral
infections. Therefore, aeroallergen exposure is a major public health concern.
The prevalence of allergies to aeroallergens is increasing due to various
interactions between changes in the environment, including air pollution and
climate warming, and lifestyle. One of the possible, yet underexplored,
additional drivers of increasing aeroallergen and allergy prevalence is
nitrogen deposition.
The Belspo BRAIN-be project “NITROPOL-BE” aims to understand how nitrogen
deposition affects pollen allergy burden in Belgium, adjusting for potential
confounding by air pollution and climate. NITROPOL-BE engages a
multidisciplinary team of scientists (from Sciensano, KU Leuven, UNamur and
UCLouvain), biodiversity conservationists, policymakers, and citizens (allergy
patients) in Belgium. It aims to provide the scientific basis and evidence to
support regional nitrogen deposition reduction and environmental policies as
well as national health policies.
Within the NITROPOL-BE project, you will be responsible for the work package
aiming to quantify the pollinosis disease burden attributable to
eutrophication. Specifically, you will contribute to the collection of data on
quality of life and work productivity from allergy patients and controls along
a nation-wide nitrogen deposition gradient. You will combine the results from
this survey with (inter)national literature to quantify the burden of
pollinosis in function of DALYs and QALY losses. In a final step, you will use
statistical models to compare quality of life and disease burden between
allergy patients and controls and between areas with different environmental
nitrogen enrichment.
Expected tasks
As a doctoral researcher, you will be responsible for the organisation,
implementation and reporting of this subproject. Your research results will
contribute to the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis in the field of
public health.
We offer
* A PhD scholarship of 48 months, with joint supervision from UCLouvain (Institute of Health Society, Prof. Niko Speybroeck) and Sciensano (Service Lifestyle and chronic diseases, Prof. Brecht Devleesschauwer)
* Collaboration within an ambitious project with important societal consequences
* Supervision of experienced scientists
* A dynamic environment with opportunities for development and training, both at UCLouvain and Sciensano
* Start date will be determined in consultation |

PhD opportunity in Evolutionary Movement Ecology |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a
better world.
You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the position
We have a fully-funded PhD position available at the Centre for Biodiversity
Dynamics, Department of Biology, NTNU. The Centre for Biodiversity Dynamics
(CBD) is a leading cross-disciplinary Centre of Excellence, with primary
interests in population ecology, evolutionary biology and community dynamics.
CBD works at the interface between biology and mathematical sciences and
strives to apply cutting-edge theoretical and statistical frameworks to field
data to resolve key questions in the context of both fundamental and applied
science. Further information is available at
The PhD position provides an exciting opportunity to gain broad experience and
expertise working at the interface of evolutionary ecology, population
ecology, and movement ecology. It will provide broad training in all
associated research skills.
Undertaking seasonal migration, rather than year-round residence, allows
individuals to escape from deteriorating seasonal environments. Numerous wild
populations show considerable among-individual variation in seasonal migration
versus residence within adults, where some individual adults consistently
migrate while other individuals consistently remain resident (i.e. highly
repeatable partial migration). Yet, we still know little about how such
patterns of substantial among-individual variation in migration but little
within-individual variation arise, through combinations of early-life
environmental effects, phenotypic plasticity and selection. Since the degree
of seasonal migration versus residence directly shapes seasonal population
dynamics and distributions, understanding the early-life drivers of migration
is central to predicting future population outcomes.
Accordingly, the main aims of the PhD position are 1) to quantify early-life
variation in expression of seasonal migration versus residence; 2) to quantify
early-life selection on migration, and on phenotypic plasticity in migration;
and 3) to quantify the degree to which early-life effects persist to cause
long-term cohort effects in the degree of seasonal migration versus residence.
These aims will be achieved using an exceptional multi-year dataset from a
partially migratory population of European shags in Scotland.
The position will suit a PhD candidate who is keen to learn advanced
statistical methods, and apply them to understand patterns, causes and
consequences of phenotypic variation arising in wild populations. It will
provide complete doctoral education to obtain a doctoral degree, including
primary research training, PhD-level credit courses, and appropriate teaching
experience. Research training will include data management, statistical
analyses including mixed models and capture-mark-recapture approaches,
experience of field data collection, and experience of working within a
collaborative research team.
The PhD position is funded by NTNU and the Research Council of Norway (RCN).
The post holder will work with Professor Jane Reid and Dr Paul Acker at CBD,
NTNU, and collaborate closely with the research team of Dr Francis Daunt, CEH,
UK, through use of the available field dataset on European shags. They will
work within a friendly group of PhD and postdoctoral researchers at CBD,
ensuring good peer support.
## Duties of the position
* Learn and apply advanced statistical methods to analyse multi-year data from a wild bird population (European shags)
* Contribute to collecting, collating and checking field data
* Produce a high quality PhD thesis, comprising manuscripts written for publication
* Produce presentations for further research dissemination
* Contribute to building a collaborative and interactive local and international research team
* Fulfil NTNU’s course credit requirements for the award of a doctoral degree
* Undertake teaching support activities, as agreed with the Department of Biology
## Required selection criteria
* You must have a relevant background in zoology, ecology, evolutionary biology, behavioural ecology and/or ecological statistics, with enthusiasm to learn and apply advanced statistical analyses to field data (training will be provided).

* You must have a strong academic background from your previous studies and an average grade from the master's degree program, or equivalent education, which is equal to B or better compared with NTNU's grading scale. If you do not have letter grades from previous studies, you must have an equally good academic basis. If you have a weaker grade background, you may be assessed if you can document that you are particularly suitable for a PhD education.
* You must meet the requirements for admission to the [faculty's doctoral program](https://www.ntnu.edu/nv/phd)
* You must have excellent communication skills in written and verbal English.
* You must be a good teamworker, with enthusiasm for working in a collaborative research environment, yet you must also be able to undertake independent and self-motivated activity.

PhD Position_ Cell / Pharmaceutical Biology _ Cellular Stress Resistance |
A doctoral position (4 years) is available at the Department of Pharmaceutical
Sciences (Cellular Stress Resistance Team) at the University of Vienna, to
dissect the influence of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) on the transcription
factor nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2). Our previous studies have
shown that AMPK and Nrf2, two well-known players in cellular homeostasis and
targets of several small bioactive molecules, engage in a crosstalk to
selectively fine-tune Nrf2-controlled genes. (see e.g. Redox Biol. 2020,
29:101393, and Front Cell Dev Biol. 2020;8:628)
We want to uncover in depth the mechanisms underlying the selective
susceptibility of Nrf2 target genes to the action of AMPK. The planned in
vitro techniques comprise among others aseptic cultivation of mammalian cells,
gene knockdown/out, expression and interaction analyses including ChIP, site-
directed mutagenesis, fluorescence microscopy, or next generation sequencing.
The project will be executed at the Division of Pharmacognosy/Pharmaceutical
Biology at the University of Vienna, providing access to modern state of the
art infrastructure, and be embedded in the Doctoral School Pharmaceutical,
Nutritional and Sport Science ().
As optimal candidate you should be motivated, enthusiastic about cell biology
and transcriptional regulation, possess a MSc degree in (bio)chemistry,
molecular biology, genetics, pharmacy, or similar, as well as have an
analytical critical mind, team spirit and excellent English and basic German
skills (as teaching duties are associated with this particular position).
Previous experience in project-relevant wet-bench techniques and data analysis
will be an asset.
If you are interested, please send your letter of motivation with a
description of technical skills, CV, university certificates and contact data
of at least one reference in a single pdf file to

ManiFactor: Factor Analysis for Maps into Manifolds |
The PhD candidate will carry out fundamental scientific research on the
ManiFactor project of professors J. Van der Veken (Department of Mathematics),
R. Vandebril (Department of Computer Science) and N. Vannieuwenhoven
(Department of Computer Science). Factor analysis is a data analysis technique
that seeks to extract information from matrices and tensors through various
low-rank decompositions. Such matrices and tensors can also be interpreted as
multilinear functions. In this interpretation, factor analysis can be seen as
a way to approximate functions by other functions that are much more efficient
to evaluate. You will extend factor analysis to functions between manifolds,
which are curved geometric objects that locally look like a Euclidean space.
This generalization presents several interesting challenges primarily caused
by the non-linearity of the domains. We will employ techniques from functional
approximation, tensor decompositions, and Riemannian geometry to tackle some
of these challenges. Research in this area will draw from an interesting blend
of functional analysis, graph theory, numerical analysis, Riemannian
optimization, and even some application domains. The research has both a
theoretical as well as an applied component.
The majority of the applicant's time will be devoted to their research project
and their formation as an independent researcher, which will include studying
new mathematical techniques, reading papers, implementing software, computer
experimentation, mathematical analysis, writing scientific articles, and
presenting their results at international scientific conferences. In this
process, they will be guided and mentored by the supervisors. The candidate
will enroll in the PhD program and prepare a PhD dissertation on
aforementioned research. Aside from the main research occupation, the
candidates will be engaged by a limited teaching assignment (of small-scale
practical sessions). This can include guiding Master's thesis students. In
addition, the candidate will be encouraged to participate in extra-curricular
activities and may be presented with opportunities to apply their expertise to
support industry-driven consulting projects.
The project is a collaboration between the departments of mathematics and
computer science. We encourage the candidate to foster and strengthen the
interaction between these domains. |

Postdoc Early Human Embryo Stem Cell Models |
The Laboratory of Cellular Reprogramming and Epigenetic Regulation at the KU
Leuven is seeking a highly motivated postdoc to study cell fate specification
in human pre-implantation and early post-implantation embryogenesis. Your goal
will be to identify factors and the gene regulatory logic underlying the
induction of human trophoblast cell fates. To this end, you will use human
pre-implantation embryos and imaging, stem cell-based embryo models (2D, 3D),
single-cell transcriptomics plus chromatin accessibility assays, genome
engineering and computational biology approaches. You will explore the
functional significance of candidate regulators of human trophoblast
development recently identified in the Pasque lab. |

University of Bremen, Germany |
The _doctoral program Empowering Digital Media (EDM)_ , funded by the Klaus-
Tschira Foundation, invites applications for 10 Ph.D. positions (m/f/d) at the
_University of Bremen_ , Germany, to be filled as soon as possible. Successful
candidates will receive a stipend in the amount of _1,500 EUR per month for 36
months_.
**ABOUT EDM**
The digital revolution has fundamentally impacted all parts of our society.
Today, computer technology is deeply interwoven with every part of our lives.
The digital revolution affected the economy, politics, social life, private
communication, education, and even the way affective bonds between humans are
established and maintained. These effects are also reflected in the economic
development where there are hardly any industries that are not being rolled
over by new, digitally-empowered players – from the medical domain to the
entertainment industry.
The goal of the doctoral program is to research the role of digital media in
the digital revolution and to design, develop and evaluate novel user
interfaces and artifacts. These can support us in the transition phase, help
to build interactive systems that – in the long run and in a sustainable way –
are beneficial for humans in their everyday life in long-term use and in the
non-isolated environment of a digital ecosystem where a limited set of users
are not confronted with only a single technology for only limited time.
Possible areas of research include but are not limited to
* User Interface Design and User Experience
* VR and AR Interaction
* Exergames and Games for Health
* Using AI in Games
* Usable Security
* Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing.
**REQUIREMENTS**
Candidates are required to hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Computer
Science, Digital Media, or a related discipline. They should be highly
motivated to independently develop and conduct a research project at the
intersection of digital media, human-computer interaction, cognitive systems,
security, robotics and artificial intelligence. At the same time, they should
be interested in engaging with the other members of the doctoral program and
taking part in offered courses and activities. For this, good English language
skills are required. The ideal candidate is experienced in designing and/or
developing new user interfaces.
**APPLICATION**

Multi-modal minimally invasive holographic endoscope for deep brain imaging |
The methods of holographic endoscopy have recently emerged as a powerful
platform to introduce sub-cellular resolution microscopy deep inside tissues
of living organisms, including brain. Our laboratory of Complex Photonics
(lead by Prof. Čižmár, ) has been
developing cutting edge multi-mode fibre based endoscopes and applying them in
brain imaging in animal models in vivo. These minimally-invasive endoscopes
can reach deep subcortical locations in the brain which are not accessible by
other optical methods of similar resolution.
This PhD work will focus on expanding the capabilities of the system with two
new modalities: optical manipulation of cells using optogenetics and
extracellular electrophysiological recordings. Optogenetics is a unique tool
that enables manipulation of cellular activity with light. Electrophysilogy
has been a golden standard method of neuroscience for the past fifty years
which allows recordings of local field potentials (LFP) and multi-unit
activity (MUA) of neurons. Uniquely, these modalities will be implemented
within the same thin endoscopic probe which serves for imaging. Implementation
of electrophysiology will be carried out in collaboration with Prof. Massimo
de Vittorio and Dr. Ferruccio Pisanello (Instituto Italiano de Technologia).
The work will be carried out at the Institute of Scientific Instruments of the
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic with the possibility of full-time
employment. The PhD student will be a part of a European Commission project
“DEEPER: Deep brain photonic tools for cell-type specific targeting of neural
diseases" (), which is funded within the European
Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation actions scheme as is just
starting at this institute. This Consortium clusters world-leading experts in
molecular photonic tools, optical technology, pre-clinical, clinical brain
research and innovative start-ups in an endeavour of providing new tools to
tackle the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of neurological disease.

## About the position
We have a vacancy for a postdoctoral research fellow in the Thermo-fluids
Group at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering, Faculty of
Engineering Science, Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
Hydrogen will play a key role in our future energy system. This carbon-free
fuel can serve as energy storage medium and may be produced from excess
renewable energy or via carbon capture from natural gas. Large-scale power
production from hydrogen is therefore desirable, and stationary gas turbines
are the most promising technology for this task. However, presently available
combustor technology is not capable of burning undiluted hydrogen because of
its high reactivity. The best candidate is a reheat combustor architecture,
but unsteady phenomena in the form of thermoacoustic oscillations are a severe
challenge. The aim of the present project is to provide modeling tools for the
prediction of unsteady phenomena in hydrogen-fueled reheat combustors.
The position has a duration of 2 years and starts as soon as possible.
The position reports to Associate Professor Jonas Moeck.

PhD offer in Engineering or sciences (electro-chemistry, materials, physics) |
The PhD will be focused on the development of new carbon nanostructures as
efficient and stable supports for PEM fuel cells based on metals and alloys as
catalytic phase. It aims at tackling several issues: (1) Mass transport
limitations in the catalytic layers through the synthesis and processing (as
MEAs) of nanostructured carbon materials with appropriate pore texture and
particle size. (2) Carbon corrosion upon use through the post-treatment of the
carbon supports to deposit a well-graphitized layer on top of the primary
carbon nanostructure without altering the pore architecture necessary to mass
transport. (3) Electrical/ionic conductivity of the electrodes through the
study of the MEAs formulation (optimization of the catalyst particle size,
connection with the ionomer, use of additives). Indeed, it has been shown
previously that changing the carbon support from classical carbon black to
large particles of nanostructured carbons may lead to limitations in
electrical conductivity; in parallel, the ionic conductivity strongly depends
on the ionomer distribution within the layer, which itself depends on the
carbon chosen. (4) Metal/alloy deposition on these optimized carbon
nanostructures using first classical Pt nanoparticles (as reference), then PtM
alloy nanoparticles and hollow structures (which are extremely active and more
stable) in order to decrease at best the necessary Pt quantity without
decreasing the catalytic layer activity. |

Short-term Postdoctoral Fellowship in Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass
Spectrometry, SIFT-MS |
The top-ranked research institute in the Czech Republic, named after the Czech
Nobel prize winner in chemistry, J. Heyrovsky, offers a 4-month Fellowship in
the field of Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry, SIFT-MS. The successful
candidate will be part of a team in the Department of Chemistry of Ions in the
Gaseous Phase. He/she will work in close association with Professor Patrik
Spanel, the Head of Department.
The main focus of the team is on the development and exploitation of SIFT-MS,
which has become a valuable gas phase analytical tool for real-time monitoring
of trace compounds in the environment, of hazardous compounds produced by
industrial processes and in health and safety management. It is also finding
use in medical research (breath analysis), biology (blood and urine headspace)
and food science (food freshness and spoilage). The real-time immediate
quantification and high sample throughput offered by SIFT-MS are benefits not
available to other gas phase analytical methods such as GC-MS. The team has a
good publication record relating to the above research areas.
**The Aim**
Validating and demonstrating the efficacy of SIFT-MS for trace gas analysis
via interdisciplinary studies that have clear societal impact.
The research will be carried out in a small but vital and friendly team based
in the Heyrovsky Institute in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. An
initiative approach to the research work will be reciprocated by enthusiasm of
the co-workers.
**The research topic**
The appointee may choose either to be involved in the current research
projects that exploit SIFT-MS and other versatile analytical instrumentation
available in the Department or on a self-generated mini-project that complies
with the general aims of the team and can lead to a publication. Further, the
appointee will have the opportunity to apply for a longer-term post-doctoral
position within the Institute on the regular employment terms.
This position is offered by the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry
of the CAS, v.v.i., for the purposes of the activity “Selected Ion Flow Tube
Mass Spectrometry” within the project "Optimalisation of analytical methods
for environmental and biomedical diagnostics", Reg.No.

Violence against the police |
You will execute a scientific research project and prepare a doctoral
dissertation on bystander conflict during police interventions. Bystander
conflict occurs when citizens impede the functioning of the police during
primary interventions (e.g. 'getting in the way', insult, intimidation,
aggression, violence). The relative unpredictability of bystander behaviour
puts a lot of pressure on the police force and creates unforeseen stressors
during interventions. This has negative consequences to the health and well-
being of police officers, but in the longterm also threatens societal
stability and well-being. This research project builds on evidence and
theories of human behaviour (e.g., construal level theory, fairness theory) to
examine how the police can prevent bystander behaviour from occurring. In
doing so, a predominantly quantitative multi-method perspective will be
applied by conducting experimental, survey, simulation, and VR studies. Your
research is ultimately aimed at contributing to intervention training in
police forces.
Duration of the project will be 4 years, counting from the first day of
employment. Your main activities will be to work proactively on the different
steps of the research project and in executing studies, to write several
scientific papers with the aim of integrating them into a doctoral
dissertation, to participate actively in (international) seminars and
conferences, to complete the PhD program at the faculty of economics and
business sciences (see
), and to
provide teaching support in master thesis supervision and courses of the
academic faculty. |

Post Doc in Ultrafast organic photonics |
_Today’s optoelectronics are based on a small amount of non-sustainable
materials (like gallium or rare-earth minerals) that involve complex and
costly technologies for building a working device out of bare materials. New
technologies have emerged that hold the promise of low-cost devices with
original functionalities. It is especially the case for organic
optoelectronics, illustrated by the fast progress of OLEDs (Organic Light
Emitting Diodes), which are poised to become the dominant mobile display
technology._
_Organic lasers are lasers whose gain material consists of a thin film of an
organic semiconductor medium. They can be made on flexible or biocompatible
substrates, with low-cost solution-processing techniques, and the wide range
of available materials enables to cover the whole visible spectrum. Organic
lasers remain mostly fundamental research objects, but they also found
application perspectives in bio or chemosensing, Visible Light Communications,
or all-integrated photonic circuits. However, the performance of organic
lasers is today limited : electrical pumping remains elusive, and they cannot
operate in a true continuous-wave (CW) regime but are instead limited to emit
pulses (typ. < 100 ns) at low repetition rates._
_The objective of the ANR project PULSE (for Plastic Ultrashort LaSErs),
started in 2021, is to demonstrate the possibility of obtaining laser
operation in unprecedented temporal regimes, namely an ultrashort pulse regime
with high repetition rates . This could represent a major breakthrough in the
field and open the way for novel applications._
_Global strategy consists in implementing recently developed organic materials
in innovative laser architectures._
_This project is a collaborative work between the Organic Photonics group at
Laser Physics Lab (S. Chénais, S. Forget) in Université Sorbonne Paris Nord
(Villetaneuse), and the Laser Group at Laboratoire Charles Fabry (LCF),
Institut d’Optique Graduate School (P.Georges, F.Druon) in Saclay. Other
collaborations in relation with this project are also active with several
groups of chemists in France and the Adachi group in Kyushu University,
Japan._

Postdoctoral researcher in Protein Engineering and Biochemistry (Mechanisms of
Cell Stress Signalling) |
A 3-year postdoc position in protein engineering and biochemistry is available
in the Ubiquitin Signalling and Inflammation Laboratory led by Associate
Professor Rune Busk Damgaard from 1 November 2021 or shortly thereafter.
In the Ubiquitin Signalling and Inflammation Laboratory at The Technical
University of Denmark (DTU), our mission is to unravel fundamental biological
concepts and identify druggable signalling mechanisms in cell stress
signalling to advance therapy for patients suffering from diseases caused by
dysregulation of signalling homeostasis. More specifically, we aim to
understand how ubiquitin modifications regulate cell signalling at the
interface of cell stress responses, cell death, and metabolism, and how
dysregulation of these signalling mechanisms promotes the development of
diseases such as autoinflammatory conditions and cancer. The lab uses a mix of
molecular cell biology, biochemistry, and -omics technologies to investigate
and understand how the enigmatic 'atypical' ubiquitin chains (K6-, K11-, K27-,
K29-, K33- and M1-linked chains) control cellular signalling and functions.
Ubiquitin modifications control a wide variety of signalling pathways,
particularly related to cell stress and inflammation. When dysregulated,
ubiquitin signalling contributes to development of chronic immune disorders
and cancer. This project is part of the lab's major long-term strategy to
identify ubiquitin-dependent signalling mechanisms that can be targeted
pharmacologically to treat diseases related to chronic inflammatory or cell
stress conditions.
Responsibilities and qualifications
The successful candidate is a protein engineer and biochemist with experience
and a strong academic track-record in their field and who can work
independently and develop their projects involving design, expression, and
purification of recombinant constructs. The postdoc will spearhead the
development of new affinity tools (e.g. single-domain antibodies and other
protein binders) for exploring novel aspects of atypical ubiquitin chain
signalling, including M1-linked/linear chains, to understand how these
ubiquitin modifications control cell signalling. This will include production
and engineering of ubiquitin-conjugating and deconjugating enzymes for
assembly of polyubiquitin chains to be used for discovery of single-domain
antibodies using phage display as well as developing protocols and strategies
for the application of these affinity tools (single-domain antibodies) for
analysis of cellular ubiquitin signalling.
The main tasks include:
* To design and engineer recombinant proteins/antigens to be cloned and purified for in vitro assays and discovery single-domain antibodies
* To develop new affinity reagents for atypical ubiquitin chains using our in-house phage display pipeline
* To establish and apply assays to analyse atypical ubiquitin signalling mechanisms in vitro and during cells stress
* To use the developed affinity reagents and protocols to elucidate new ubiquitin-dependent signalling mechanisms during cell stress
* To disseminate and communicate the results through journal publications and conference attendance
* To assist with laboratory management, student supervision, and funding applications
We are looking for a talented and curious candidate with the following
qualifications and experience for this ambitious and pioneering project:
* The candidate must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in protein science, biochemistry, molecular biology, or a related discipline (candidates that are nearing the completion of their PhD may apply)
* The candidate should have a strong background in protein biochemistry, molecular biology, and experiment design
* The candidate should be ambitious, driven, and have motivation to succeed within a competitive research field
* The candidate should have experience with state-of-the-art protein / DNA construct design software and protein engineering
* The candidate should have experience with recombinant protein expression and a broad range of analytical and preparative methods used within protein purification (e.g. FPLC systems such as ÄKTA, Bio-Rad NGC, or similar)
* The candidate should demonstrate evidence of independent research capability and good problem-solving skills
* The candidate should have a track record of publication with at least one first-author paper in internationally recognised, peer-reviewed journal
* The candidate should have a demonstrated ability to collaborate with team members
* The candidate should have excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken)
Experience with any of the following is highly desirable but not essential:
* Demonstrated ability to attract funding
* Demonstrated leadership and/or supervision skills
* Experience with experimental biophysics (e.g. SPR, ITC, FIDA, fluorescence polarisation, etc.) and/or structural biology
* Experience with analysis of cell signalling and multiprotein complexes (e.g. immunoprecipitation and pulldowns, western blotting, etc.)
* Experience with phage display technologies and/or antibody discovery
* Experience with ubiquitin signalling, protein quality control, or cell stress
* Experience with mammalian cell culture and cell biology
* Experience with mass spectrometry-based proteomics

PhD position in Marie-Curie Project YIELDGAP - Modeling gravitational collapse
and phase separation of yield-stress fluids |
**General description**
The YIELDGAP project is an Innovative Training Network **(ITN – Marie
Slodowska Curie action)** involving 9 academic and 4 industrial partners from
7 European countries, dedicated to a better understanding of yield-stress
fluids, from fundamental systems to industrial fluids, using experimental and
modelling approaches. This ITN will develop a European multi-disciplinary,
intersectoral educational research framework, to comprehensively train 12
early stage researchers to PhD level, among which the PhD offer described
below.

ESR12: Modeling gravitational collapse and phase separation of yield-stress
fluids
The ESR12 will study phase separation and gravitational collapse over aging of
yield-stress fluids, in order to investigate the interplay between physical
stability rheology and microstructure. Many formulated products are colloidal
gels that own their physical stability to the presence of a yield stress. A
yield stress is often achieved by mixing colloidal particles and soluble
polymers to achieve a so-called depletion gel that has an yield stress thanks
to the excluded volume forces generated by interaction between colloidal
particles and soluble polymers. These gels have a very low yield stress and
can phase separate under gravity. In this simulation project, we will study
phase separation and gravitational collapse of a depletion gel modeled through
a continuous poroelastic constitutive equation. This continuous model will be
coupled with a coarse-grained model to estimate the rheology and the gel
porosity. The need of a multiscale model arises from the fact that rheology
and microstructure evolve over time and we need to couple microscopic and
macroscopic dynamics to close momentum balance equation.
The successful candidate will work on the following activities:
* Develop a numerical solver to simulate phase separation of yield-stress fluids
* Test the numerical method with data taken from the literature
* Apply the numerical method to industrial user cases
* Compare the model prediction with experimental data
Some mobility periods to Procter & Gamble (Belgium) and KTH Royal Institute of
Technology (Sweden) are planned.
Starting date is planned during the second semester of 2021.
Project duration: 36 months.
Candidate profile:
* Background in chemical/mechanical engineering, materials science or physics
* Experience in numerical simulations (master thesis, specific courses, projects, etc.), fluid dynamics and rheology is a plus
* Spoken and written competences in English
* Aptitude for team-working, ability to work independently
**How to apply**
Please submit your application no later than 19th September 2021 to:

vesicles for anti-cancer therapy H/F |
PhD at UMR168, Physico-Chemistry Curie, in the MMBM team (Descroix) located at
the Pierre Gilles de Gennes Institute (IPGG)
The PhD goal is to explore different Fe-based approaches for the engineering
of extracellular vesicles, towards the final aim of targeted photothermal
cancer therapy. The first part concerns the engineering of vesicle production,
via several physical methods (hydrodynamics, laser, hypoxia) to increase the
yield. The second part will focus on the engineering of vesicle loading,
either by ionic species, metallic nanoparticles and/or anticancer molecules.
The vesicles will then be evaluated for their cancer cell targeting properties

PhD Job Proton Magnetic Resonance Tomography (PMR) for improved unsaturated
zone (USZ) water transfer models |
Exchanges between the soil surface and the water table can lead to numerous
pollutant transfers (e.g., nitrates, pesticides, heavy metals, hydrocarbon
residues). The Beauce water table, the most extensive drinking water reserve
in France, contains for example high levels of nitrates and pesticides due to
intensive agriculture. The in situ estimation of these transfers is therefore
a particularly important subject of study. However, borehole samples only
provide local information on mineralogy, transport and petrophysical
properties of the medium (e.g. porosity, permeability, water content, solution
mineralization) and pollutants. These data can be extrapolated in 3D using
adapted geophysical imagery that allows (1) to identify and spatialize these
properties and (2) to follow their temporal evolution. However, this imagery
needs fine calibration in the laboratory as well as the development of
petrophysical interpretation models coupled between the different geophysical
measurables and the parameters of interest for fluid transfer in the
unsaturated zone. This characterization built on laboratory and field
measurements raises another major issue of geophysics, namely the impact of
the change of scale and heterogeneity, with regard to the resolution of the
methods and the scale studied, on the interpretation of the results and the
prediction of the possible evolutions of the hydro-systems and their
vulnerability.
The candidate will first focus on the understanding of the physical phenomena
of fluid transfer in the vadose zone of ultrasonic propagation in the
considered media. This work will be declined in complementary and progressive
tasks as follows:
\- laboratory measurements of water dynamics in the NSA with the RMPZNS sensor
on experimental cylinders made of different porous materials with variable
saturation;
\- in-situ measurements with the RMPZNS sensor and standard equipment (metric
to decametric scale) on, in particular, the O-ZNS experimental site of
Villamblain () where the
RMP results could be compared with the results of other methods of
investigation of saturation over time (time lapse). Other IRD study sites are
also envisaged (in particular in connection with the CRITEX watershed network
projects, ),
\- Comparison of the RMPZNS sensor measurements with numerical simulations of
the RMP response obtained by simulation of water transfers as a function of
time (time lapse).
\- Development of a methodology (workflow) for joint modeling-inversion of RMP
and water data.
Skills. You have or are enrolled in a Master's degree (or in your last year of
engineering school) in geophysics, geology, or hydrogeology. Your dynamism,
your rigor, your ability to listen, and your adaptability will make the
difference. With a multidisciplinary background, you have good skills in field
measurements, geophysical imaging, signal processing and numerical simulation.
An interest in environmental engineering and multi-method geophysical imaging
is a plus.
The PhD student will work at ISTO (Institut des Sciences de la Terre
d'Orléans) in the team “Milieux Poreux” and in strong link with the team
“Biogéosystème de surface”. This thesis project will be done in a
collaborative framework with BRGM (Orléans site) and IRD (IGE, Grenoble).
Field missions in Villamblain (40 km northwest of Orléans) are to be expected.
The objective of this thesis work is to improve the consideration of scale
change and NSA heterogeneities in hydrological transfer models through
characterization of the environment by RMP. The work of the thesis will be
carried out at different scales: 1) in the laboratory under controlled
conditions (reconstituted soil column); 2) under natural conditions
(undisturbed soil) at small scales (<1m); and 3) in-situ, at large scales
(<100x100m) in the heterogeneous environment typical of the Centre - Val de

-Optimize the microfluidigm system that has been developped in the team in order to control more precisely the curvature of the epithelial monolayer.
-Design and perform cell biology experiments to determine the impact of mechanical stress and curvature on epithelial monolayer.
-Contribute to the preparation of scientific articles.
The postdoctoral fellow will work in the team "Cytoskeletal Dynamics and
nuclear function" at the Institute for Advanced Biosciences (IAB). He/she will
work on the ANR project Suprawaves and will investigate the effect of
mechanical stress and curvature on epithelial monolayers.
The Postdoctoral fellow chosen for this position will take part in the
SupraWaves (funded by ANR). He/she will work in the team "Cytoskeletal
Dynamics and nuclear function" within the Institute for Advnaced Biosciences
(IAB - ) and in collaboration with the
Liphy ( Laboratoire de Physique Interdisciplaire). With 18 research teams and
groups and supported by 5 technical core facilities, IAB focuses its
activities on the mechanisms and dynamics of the reprogramming of living
systems under the influence of their close or distant environment, at the
molecular, cellular, tissue and systemic levels.
Recent work reported that wave-like patterns spontaneously appear in colonies
of epithelial cells. We want to test the hypothesis that those waves induce a
spontaneous transcriptomic divergence between the cells situated in the wave
nodes and those located in the antinodes, as periodic stretching may
reorganize cell cytoskeleton in way that depends on the perturbation period
and strain. This might lead to the emergence of an alternative mechanism to
the one proposed by Turing in
patterning biological tissues and ultimately a new process potentially driving
morphogenesis. |

M/F POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN HOST/PATHOGEN INTERACTION |
The recruited candidate will aim at identifying and characterizing new
glycolipid/PRR interactions in the context of Mtb infection, delineating the
signaling pathways triggered, and determining their contribution to innate
immune response and to Mtb virulence in macrophages and in mice.
Tuberculosis is one of the top ten causes of death worldwide and the leading
cause of death from a single infectious agent. Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Mtb), its causative agent, is a highly successful intracellular pathogen that
has adapted to subvert the function of phagocytic cells. To this end, it uses
different strategies, many of which involve the highly abundant, structurally
diverse, and potently immunomodulatory glycolipids expressed at its cell
envelope. One of our team objectives is to decipher the role and structure-
function relationships of glycolipids in the innate immune recognition of Mtb.
We and others have shown that Mtb glycolipids are recognized by several PRRs,
including TLR2 and the C-type lectins DC-SIGN, Mincle, or Dectin-2. However,
the binding mode, the functional consequences in host cells of glycolipid/PRR
interaction and the repertoire of PRRs involved in Mtb glycolipid recognition
remain to be fully uncovered. Hence, as part of this research theme, the
recruited candidate will address these different facets. More specifically,
his/her work will aim at identifying and characterizing new glycolipid/PRR
interactions in the context of Mtb infection, delineating the signaling
pathways triggered, and determining their contribution to innate immune
response and to Mtb virulence in macrophages and in mice.
The IPBS provides an excellent scientific environment and is fully equipped
with state-of-the art equipment needed to perform the project, including BSL2,
BSL3, imaging, flow cytometry, and proteomics facilities. |

Two PhD Candidates in the field of education and labour |
You will work as a PhD student within the Research Centre for Education and
the Labour Market (ROA), one of the research departments of Maastricht
University's School of Business and Economics (SBE). Extended research visits
are foreseen at the German Federal Institute for Vocational Education and
Training (BIBB) in Bonn, which co-finances the PhD position. Both ROA and BIBB
have a leading position nationally and internationally in research in the
field of vocational education and the labour market. You will also be part of
the Graduate School of Business and Economics (GSBE) that coordinates SBE’s
PhD programme.
Both PhD projects focus on strategies to increase the resilience of workers
and the sustainable employment in firms at the medium skills level of the
labour market, that is, among people who will complete or have completed
vocational education and training (VET). Although these workers still comprise
the largest share of employment in most European countries, they suffer most
from new developments in automation, digitalization, robotization and
artificial intelligence (AI). The first project concerns the _impact of
training and hiring policies by frontier firms on the performance of non-
frontier firms._ The project explores the extent to which non-frontier firms
profit or suffer from the hiring and VET policies of frontier firms (IBM,
Volkswagen, etc.) that offer training programs based on the latest
technological developments. The second project concerns the _impact of the
innovativeness of VET-programs on the resilience and sustainable employment of
apprentices._ The project explores the transitions to training and work of
apprentices that are exposed to the above-mentioned technological
developments.
You will be employed at the Research Centre for Education and the Labour
Market (ROA), but you will be also attached to various multidisciplinary
research network projects and programs. These include the spearhead
[MORSE](https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/morse) at the SBE, in particular
the research themes on resilient labour markets and sustainable employment;
the SBE flagship [Technequality](https://technequality-project.eu/) project at
ROA and related ROA projects such as the [interdisciplinary project on the
impact of Artificial Intelligence on the future of
work](https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/news/ai-and-people-co-creating-
future-work); and the BIBB [topic clusters](https://www.bibb.de/en/26871.php)
(1) Digital Transformation, (2) Company Decisions and Actions and (3)
Vocational Orientation and Transitions. |

Postdoc on Bubble dynamics for broadband microrheology of complex fluids |
The Garbin lab () is looking for a postdoc with a
strong background in rheology and an interest in developing novel rheological
methods based on bubble dynamics. The deformation field around a stationary,
spherical bubble undergoing a change in radius is simple and localized, thus
making it suitable for rheological measurements [1]. In addition, the
deformation imparted by bubble dynamics can reach extreme conditions, being
characterized by a large strain, or a high frequency. In recent years, our lab
has explored emerging approaches to extract information on the rheology of
complex fluids by analysing bubble dynamics, for instance caused by mass
transfer or driven by an acoustic field [2]. Previous work from our lab has
focused on using ultrasound-driven microbubbles for high-frequency linear
rheology of hydrogels [3] and to locally deform and manipulate yield-stress
fluids [4,5]. Recently we have combined controlled deformation by bubble
dynamics with confocal microscopy of colloidal gels. In this project you will
use controlled bubble deformation for characterization of soft materials, will
consolidate the suite of rheological protocols that can be performed with
bubble dynamics, and will further develop the technique and combine it with
microscopy to simultaneously monitor the evolution of the microstructure.
Ultimately you will be able to provide novel insights in the behavior of soft
materials under extreme deformation conditions. You will join a diverse and
interdisciplinary team working on microscale transport phenomena in soft and
biological matter. The Garbin lab is embedded in the Department of Chemical
Engineering, and the project offers exciting synergies with colleagues in the
Department of Bionanosciences, and with an international network of
collaborators.

PhD Position for Research on Sexual Aggression |
The PhD project starts from the premise that our approach to the prevention of
sexual aggression could benefit from the differentiation between, and a better
understanding of, different typologies of perpetrators. The project will be
the first to apply the distinction between proactive and reactive aggression
to the study of sexual aggression, and will use questionnaire, observational,
sexual psychophysiological, and experience sampling methods to examine, in the
lab and in daily life, different perpetrator profiles and their associations
with previously studied predictors of sexual aggression and state/trait sexual
arousal (including the propensities for sexual excitation and inhibition),
affect, and self-regulation. |

position will be based in Montpellier and will include numerous interactions
(remote, face-toface) with our collaborators in France and abroad.
* Activities:
* Design and development of a NoSQL database to represent the embryonic development of a marine animal, at the molecular, cellular and tissue scales:
* Analysis of the needs of the team’s biologists,
* Choice of technologies adapted to create (SQL, graph,...) and interface (microservices, APIs, web interfaces) the database,
* Development and production of scientific codes,
* System virtualisation (Docker, ...),
* Test methodology.
* Putting the database into production:
* Formatting and continuous data integration,
* Implementation of monitoring and control tools,
* Implementation of backup tools.
* Project management:
* Use of code tracking tools (Git),
* Writing functional and technical documentation in English (developer and user),

Proposition of a Post-Doctoral position |
We offer a Post-Doctoral position in the Power Sources Group at Poznan
University of Technology (Poland) for a collaborative work in the frame of the
EDLstruct Beethoven project implemented by the Polish National Science Centre
(NCN) and supported by the Polish-German Funding Initiative with German
Research Foundation (DFG).
The goal of EDLstruct is to analyze the charge storage mechanisms in
electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) to ensure a further enhancement of
the energy stored in these devices. The study will consider both the
microscopic properties of the electrode/electrolyte system (pore size
distribution of carbon electrodes, relative size of ions and their solvation
sphere, solvent nature and electrolyte concentration) and the macroscopic ones
(electrodes performance in terms of capacitance and resistance, cathodic and
anodic decomposition potentials of the electrolytic solution). By implementing
a variety of electrolytes and porous carbons, EDLstruct intends to figure out
the influence of pore size and size of electrolyte molecules on the
ions/solvent ratio (so-called EDL structure) under polarization, and to find
correlations between the solvation rate and the decay of electrochemical
performance depending on temperature and electrodes potential.
Within the frame of EDLstruct, the Post-Doctoral fellow will synthesize and
characterize template carbons (by gas adsorption, temperature-programmed
desorption, Raman spectroscopy, …). She/he will also determine the physico-
chemical and electrochemical properties of electrolytes (by differential
scanning calorimetry, viscosimetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,
…). To examine the performance of electrodes and EDLCs in various
electrolytes, the fellow will use galvanostatic charge/discharge, cyclic
voltammetry, chronoamperometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
She/he will also apply operando techniques, such as electrochemical on-line
mass spectrometry (EOMS) and electrochemical dilatometry to monitor ageing and
changes of electrodes dimensions during polarization in various conditions.
Finally, the research will be completed by establishing models of the carbons
porous texture and charge/discharge of the electrical double-layer.
This ambitious work program, in collaboration with Friedrich-Schiller
University in Jena, Germany, is recommended for a Post-Doctoral fellow
interested by fundamental and applied chemistry, and aiming at developing a
future carrier connected with research and industrial developments. The fellow
should possess a solid background in materials science and electrochemistry.
She/he should be good team player and have ability and willing to taking
initiative. Good English speaking and writing is also required.
Starting date of employment : October 1st, 2021
Duration of employment: 12 months
Month salary: 5,900 PLN
The candidates wishing to apply are requested to send the following documents
to Professor F. Béguin
([francois.beguin@put.poznan.pl](mailto:francois.beguin@put.poznan.pl)) before

PhD student Innovation in housing for older people and subjective wellbeing (2
mandates) |
Background
In the autumn of 2021, UHasselt, VUB and PXL will be starting a large-scale
SBO research project on innovation in the area of housing for older people and
subjective wellbeing. The "HOUSE" project is supported by the Strategic Basic
Research Programme (SBO), and with this programme the Research Foundation -
Flanders (FWO) wants to support innovative research with a view to translation
into societal applications.
In the Faculty of Architecture and Arts of Hasselt University, research in
architecture and interior architecture is bundled in the ArcK research group,
where doctoral students together with experienced colleagues, conduct
fundamental and applied research into the built environment, from interior to
city. With a focus on important societal challenges, the research is organised
into thematic research lines: Designing for More (human-centred design), Trace
(adaptive reuse), Sustainability (sustainability in energy and material use),
Spatial Capacity Building (participation) and Frame (artistic research). This
vacancy is positioned within the research line Designing for More.
More information: [www.uhasselt.be/fac-architectuur-en-
kunst](http://www.uhasselt.be/fac-architectuur-en-kunst)
Adult Educational Sciences of Vrije Universiteit Brussels has a long tradition
of research on participation of older adults and is a pioneer in the field of
social gerontology research in Belgium. A common thread in their research is
the importance of an age-friendly and inclusive living environment. Research
therefore focuses on the social environment (social relations, cohesion,
loneliness), the cultural environment (diversity, migration), the physical
environment (housing, urban planning), and the institutional environment (care
institutions, prison, government).
Job content
The ageing of our population, which will continue in the coming decades, will
strongly influence our housing sector and will put current and future housing
policies and the housing sector to the test. The context in which people live
will always have to meet objective architectural parameters, but there is a
growing demand to also take into account issues related to people's subjective
wellbeing. The SBO project HOUSE starts from the observation that there is
currently a lack of knowledge about the influence of housing design on the
subjective wellbeing of present and future generations of older people.
Through interdisciplinary (quantitative, qualitative and design) research in
cooperation with various societal stakeholders, this project aims not only to
acquire scientific knowledge about this topic, but also to translate it into
practice.
For this project, we are looking for 4 researchers who will work on the
preparation of a PhD thesis during 4 years. They will form a team together
with the promoters of the research to carry out this project.
The large-scale study proposes four scientific research goals:
(1) To identify heterogeneity of different profiles of older people
(2) To understand how innovative housing concepts and characteristics could
contribute to the subjective wellbeing of older people.
(3) To test and validate an evaluation instrument on "housing for subjective
wellbeing of older people".
(4) Developing and evaluating spatial scenarios for innovative housing for
subjective well-being of older people.
The 2 doctoral scholarships of UHasselt will mainly focus on objectives 2 and
4. To achieve both objectives, different research methods will be used (e.g.
literature study, analysis of policy documents, interviews with actors,
research by design).
As described above, the research conducted must offer the prospect of societal
applications. Therefore, different societal stakeholders (e.g. architects,
care organisations, organisations for older people, policy makers) will be
involved.
We are therefore looking for team players with an interest in older people and
housing/design, who have demonstrable knowledge/experience of quantitative
and/or qualitative research methods and/or a strong willingness to delve
further into this.
As a researcher you will be part of the HOUSE consortium. This consortium
includes various partners who are each responsible for different subprojects
within the larger whole, namely the Faculty of Architecture and Arts at
Hasselt University, Adult Educational Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Brussel,
and PXL. This results in specific profile requirements.
Below, you can find the profile for the 2 employees who will be recruited
within the Faculty of Architecture and Arts at Hasselt University. The
specific profile requirements for the other 2 PhD fellowships can be found on
the VUB website. |

**Meaning & Translation. Towards a conceptual toolbox for reuse**
In the built environment, reuse is increasingly seen as a common and
sustainable counteracting tactic against financial and material obsolescence.
Although there is a consensus on the importance of reuse in design and
education practice, the focus is more on material and technical challenges.
But what happens in the translation between old and new? What meanings are
formed or erased in new architectural interventions at heritage sites?
This research project aims to develop a conceptual toolkit that can be used in
practice and education. The research specifically focuses on the question of
how textual and non-textual sources can contribute to the emerging theory of
re-use and its relationship with new architectural interventions on the one
hand and conservation/restoration discourses on the other.
The knowledge building will take place on three levels:
1. A critical discourse analysis based on the existing canon of 20th century architectural theory in order to develop a broader conceptual framework for reuse processes (e.g. texts by Robert Venturi, Colin Rowe, Giancarlo De Carlo,...);
2. Introducing new texts from other disciplines (mainly literary studies and art history) that can add new, unexpected insights to the existing discourse and practice (e.g. texts by Georges Steiner, Kenneth Rexroth, Jeff Malpas , Umberto Eco, Erwin Panofsky, Paul Ricœur, TS Eliott, Vernon Lee, Walter Benjamin);
3. Reading some exemplary historical and contemporary re-use projects in which notions of meaning, translation and transition interact. The analysis here can be done both through the study of the physical building itself and through the analysis of design drawings and sketches.
This research aims to make a fundamental contribution on two levels: 1.
substantiating the discourse of adaptive reuse through a critical rereading of
20th century theoretical texts from different disciplines and 2. To further
develop the conceptual framework for adaptive reuse from non-textual sources.
The research is grafted onto four ongoing lines of enquiry within the Trace
research group: 1. Reusing the Ruin. Building on the fragmented fabric; 2.
Traces from within. repurposing and 'contaminated heritage'; 3: Iconography &
Iconology in Reuse; 4. Pedagogical Tools and Design Strategies for Urban
Reuse: ILAUD, 1976-2015[MOU3] .

#### PhD student Rehabilitation Sciences - Automated functional evaluation
during rehabilitation exercises using serious games
Background
Within the context of the expansion of the research of the REVAL
Rehabilitation Research group of Hasselt University the faculty of
Rehabilitation sciences wishes to inform about a vacant PhD position (100%) in
the use of serious games (exergames) in physical rehabilitation. REVAL is an
interdisciplinary and translational research group which performs research in
the domains of pediatric, neurologic and musculoskeletal rehabilitation,
biomechanics, health psychology, mental health care and rehabilitation of
internal diseases.
Job content
The exercises that patients must perform at home, or between the
rehabilitation sessions with the therapists, are an important part of
rehabilitation. Commercial video games can be used to increase patients’
motivation but do not provide feedback and are not based on rehabilitation
schemes. Specific solutions (i.e., Valeo®Motion) have been developed for
rehabilitation purposes but allow only a moderate level of parametrization,
assessment, and required specific materials. Therefore specific solutions, the
serious games, have been developed to be used in rehabilitation. During this
project you will evaluate the possibility of performing simple and regular
functional evaluation of the patients while they are performing the exercises.
Several aspects will be investigated: a laboratory validation (comparison with
a gold-standard (i.e., the GRAIL system)), evaluation of various group of
patients to correlate the score of the games with the clinics. Finally we will
evaluate if such kind of solutions can be implemented (feasibility and
efficacy) at-home with without the supervision of clinicians to perform
telerehabilitation and telemonitoring. |

**Project Title**
Investigation of LNX proteins as novel regulators of synaptic function and
potential drug targets in neurological disorders.
**Project Details**
LNX1 and LNX2 proteins are closely related E3 ubiquitin ligases that are
expressed in neurons. We have described anxiety-related behavioural
abnormalities in mice lacking LNX1 and/or LNX2. Taking advantage of our access
to LNX1 and LNX2 knockout mice, this project seeks to identify the
developmental processes, neural circuit(s) and molecular mechanisms by which
loss of LNX function leads to these behavioural alterations. The project will
also identify the molecular interactions that are relevant to LNX protein
function _in vivo_. Overall, the project will provide novel insights into the
molecular mechanisms underlying brain circuits that control behaviours of
relevance to anxiety and autism spectrum disorders and potentially support
further investigation of LNX proteins as novel drug targets.

Four-year fellowships for a PhD student : Contribution to the development of
new specific blockers of the SK2 and SK3 potassium channels |
SK channels (small conductance calcium-activated potassium channels) are
expressed in various tissues and organs e.g. nervous system, smooth muscle and
heart. These channels play an important role in modulating the firing rate and
the firing pattern of different types of neurons. They are selective for K+
ions and are gated by Ca2+ via calmodulin molecules. SK2 is mostly expressed
in the cortex and hippocampus while the SK3 expression is higher in the
monoamine cell regions. They represent potential targets for central and
peripheral nervous system disorders. Recently, new possibilities for treating
diseases such as atrial fibrillation, schizophrenia (SK3), breast cancer (SK3)
or mood disorders were proposed.
The development of new non-peptidic blockers combining high affinity and
selectivity towards SK2 or SK3 channels requires a better knowledge of the
structural features essential to the affinity of these ligands.
In this project, we will prepare new labelled ligands for in vitro high
throughput binding assay using selective modifications of SK2/3 inhibitory
toxins like tamapin to attach a biotin or a fluorescent molecule. The labelled
toxins will be compared to determine the most appropriate and accurate one for
the competition assay with SK2 and SK3 containing membrane preparations. In
parallel to this approach, we will adapt to SK2 and SK3 the recently described
liposome flux assay (LFA) that enables the screening of molecules modifying
the K+ flux across the membrane. This very powerful assay is performed using
purified channels reconstituted in proteoliposomes.
The project will also involve a high throughput mutagenesis of tamapin, a 31
amino acid toxin, and the selection of the most potent and specific blockers
of SK2 or SK3 channels.
The project is part of a larger program (at least 5 PhD students) studying the
SK2 and SK3 channels that involves structural study of the proteins, medicinal
chemistry, mass spectrometry for the screening of toxins from venom of
different origins, and development of new in vivo biological models to further
advance the potential therapeutic use of such blockers. |

Researcher in biogeochemistry (M/F) |
The Institute and the recruiting departement
A pioneer in ocean science, IFREMER’s cutting-edge research is grounded in
sustainable development and open science. Our vision is to advance science,
expertise and innovation to:
\- Protect and restore the ocean
\- Sustainably use marine resources to benefit society
\- Create and share ocean data, information & knowledge.
With more than 1,500 personnel spread along the French coastline in more than
20 sites, the Institute explores the 3 great oceans: the Indian, Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. A leader in ocean science, IFREMER is managing the French
Oceanographic Fleet and its dedicated scientists create ground-breaking
technology to push the boundaries of ocean exploration and knowledge, from the
abyss to the atmosphere-ocean interface.
Well-established in the international scientific community, our scientists,
engineers and technicians are committed to advance knowledge about our
planet’s last unexplored frontiers. They provide the science we need for
informed decision-making and public policy and they transfer this knowledge
and technology to businesses to fulfill public and private needs. Core to our
mission is also to strengthen public awareness about the importance of
understanding the ocean and its resources, and empowering future generations
of leaders through education and outreach national campaigns.
Founded in 1984, IFREMER is a French public organization and its budget
approximates 240 million euros. It is operating under the joint authority of
the French Ministry for Higher Education, Research and Innovation, the French
Ministry for the Ecological and Solidary Transition, and the French Ministry
of Agriculture and Food.
General areas of responsibility
DYNECO (Dynamics of Coastal Ecosystems) research unit works on coastal
ecosystem evolution in response to natural and anthropic perturbations. It
conducts scientific and expert assessment activities in this field aiming to
understand, model and predict 1) mater fluxes in the human-land-sea continuum,
and 2) spatial and temporal dynamics of the human-habitat-biodiversity
interactions. The approaches involve observation, experimentation and
modeling.
Within DYNECO, the PELAGOS laboratory focuses on coastal pelagic ecosystems.
The laboratory is interested in understanding the biogeochemical fluxes at the
interfaces and the dynamics of costal phytoplankton communities, with a
special focus on harmful algal blooms. The laboratory brings together
chemists, biogeochemists and biologists.
The land-sea interfaces concentrate strong interactions between human
activities and the marine environment. They are especially fragilized by
anthropic pressures (global changes, extreme events) and are emblematic spaces
of current societal stakes. Organic matter is key to biogeochemical fluxes at
the interfaces and is central to interaction between micro-organisms
(bacterial and phytoplanktonic communities) and their environment. In the
coastal zone, organic matter fluxes are involved in
eutrophication/hypoxia/acidification. Under the responsibility of the head of
the PELAGOS Laboratory, within the DYNECO unit, the researcher will develop a
research project on the biogeochemical processes involving organic matter at
the land-sea interface.
General areas of responsibility
In conjunction with the other Pelagos team members, the researcher will
propose and carry-on original research projects to characterize the origin,
fluxes and stocks of allochthonous (rivers, sediments) and autochthonous
(phytoplankton) organic matter at the marine coastal zone interfaces. These
works on fluxes will contribute to the quantification of matter balances in
the coastal zones. The studies could consider various spatial (local to
regional) and temporal (high-frequency to pluriannual) scales.
The studies of the organic matter transformation processes will enable to
better understand the biogeochemical cycles in the coastal zone and to
evaluate the role of organic matter on the dynamic of planktonic communities
(productivity, diversity, harmful species).

This project will provide novel insights about neurodegenerations. Alzheimer’s
and Parkinson’s disease are related to the spreading of misfolded proteins.
Activating mutations in the kinase LRRK2 are among the most common genetic
associations with both diseases ( _Chen, Zhong-Can, et al. "Phosphorylation of
amyloid precursor protein by mutant LRRK2 promotes AICD activity and
neurotoxicity in Parkinson’s disease." Science signaling 10.488 (2017)_ ).
Moreover, aging is accompanied by increasing vulnerability to pathologies such
as atherosclerosis and Alzheimer disease. Are these different pathologies, or
different presentations with a similar underlying pathoetiology? ( _Lathe,
Richard et al.. "Atherosclerosis and Alzheimer-diseases with a common cause?
Inflammation, oxysterols, vasculature." BMC geriatrics 14.1 (2014): 1-30_ ).
For this project, we aim at shedding further lights about the relationship
between Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and to relate tractography to vasculature.
For the first task we want to use variational autoencoders which can relate
better than partial least squares and similar methods different types of data
as genomics, imaging. For the second task we want to investigate the
relationship between vasculature and neural tracts. |

This project will provide methods and technologies to aid surgical planning of
glioblastoma and similar diseases.
Neuroimaging has led to effective planning of the surgery preserving in
functional brain areas as language and movements. However, despite the
progress long and short term recovery of patients preserving relevant brain
function is still challenging. Recently, new techniques have been introduced
to study brain structures and function representing the brain as a graph.
Moreover, to plan even more accurately surgery and patient treatment,
neuroimaging could be linked to genetic information rather than just simpler
clinical information.
For this project, we aim at aiding surgical planning or at least shed new
insights into preserving brain areas as language. The resulting analysis will
integrate complex networks analysis, clinical outcome and genetics.
We will correlated brain connectivity measures with deficit, plasticity and
genetic traits.
Ultimately, a VR/AR environment combining tractography/connectomics and
genomics can be developed, or related to existing reality working in this
field. |

Scientific Area: Animal/Veterinary ethics; Legislation and regulation.
Project Title: “Promoting education and training for evidence-based veterinary
medicine”.
Workplans: The EviEdVet project aims to assess and promote evidence-based
veterinary education in Portugal and abroad. In the first phase of the
project, we will map the use of veterinary practices that are not based on
scientific evidence, to understand the dimension of the problem and help
define strategies to promote a greater scientific culture among students and
professionals. One of the approaches will include the mapping and
characterization of regulation of non-conventional therapies (NCTs) in Europe,
and identifying where and under what circumstances these are considered
veterinary medical acts by European regulatory bodies. We hence propose as a
master's dissertation project, a desk research study to assess how – or
whether – veterinary regulators and scientific organizations have tackled the
issue of NCTs. Regulatory frameworks - including professional codes of conduct
and position statements - and professional guidelines from all European
countries (EU and non-EU) will thus be collected, analysed, compiled and
evaluated, to map and characterize NTC use, in the continent.
All veterinary associations from 40 European countries that are members of the
Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE) will be contacted to provide
information on this topic. We also expect to explore the implications of the
results for higher education in Veterinary Medicine, as well as for the
continuing education of professionals, along with the ethical and
deontological consequences of not educating for critical and scientific
thinking.
To carry out these activities, we are funding a 6-months scholarship for a
Master's student willing to use this project as a topic for their dissertation
project, at the i3S.
Admission Requirements: Mandatory:
Being enrolled in a Master’s degree or Bachelor's enrolled in non-academic
degree courses integrated into the educational project of a higher education
institution.

VI - Selection process in relative merit
1 - The methodology of selection in relative merit is the following:
a) At the meeting, each member of the jury submits a written document, which
will be attached to the minutes, stating their own ordering of the applicants,
of the applicants’ scientific performance, pedagogical skills and other
relevant activities, and showing their respective weights. At each ballot,
every member of the jury will always abide by the ordering they submitted.
Abstentions are not permitted.
b) The first ballot is intended to determine which applicant shall be placed
at the top of the ordered list.
c) If an applicant obtains more than half of the votes, he or she shall be
placed first on the ordered list;
d) If two applicants obtain exactly half of the votes each, the jury president
shall have the casting vote, deciding which shall be placed at the top of the
ordered list. The president of the jury will use as a tie-breaker the greater
seniority in the category and, if the tie still remains, the date of the
doctorate. If the applicant only holds the title of specialist, this date will
be considered;
e) If neither situation occurs, a new ballot will take place after applicants
who obtained no votes in the previous ballot have been eliminated as well as
the applicant who obtained fewest votes but who obtained at least one vote;
f) If there is a draw between two or more applicants for the position of
least-voted, another ballot shall be held to determine which of the least-
voted applicants shall be eliminated. At this ballot, jury members vote
obligatorily for the applicant who is lowest-placed on their own seriation;
g) If there is still a draw between two or more applicants, the jury president
shall decide which of the drawing applicants shall be eliminated. The
president of the jury will use as a tie-breaker the greater seniority in the
category and, if the tie still remains, the date of the doctorate. If the
applicant only holds the title of specialist, this date will be considered;
h) After this applicant has been eliminated along with the applicants who
received no votes in the first ballot, another ballot will be held to decide
which applicant shall be placed at the top of the ordered list, continuing to
use the same procedure until one applicant obtains more than half the votes
for first place.
i) Once an applicant has been placed first on the ordered list, his or her
name shall be removed from the voting and the process will be repeated to find
the second-placed applicant, and so on until all the applicants have been
placed on the ordered list.

PhD position in Environmental Psychology |
### This is NTNU
NTNU is a broad-based university with a technical-scientific profile and a
focus in professional education. The university is located in three cities
with headquarters in Trondheim.
At NTNU, 9,000 employees and 42,000 students work to create knowledge for a
better world.
You will find more information about working at NTNU and the application
process [here.](https://www.ntnu.edu/vacancies/)
## About the position
The Department of Psychology announces a PhD position in Environmental
Psychology for a period of 3 years, without teaching duties. This is an
educational position that shall provide promising research recruits the
opportunity for professional development through studies towards a PhD. The
position is connected to the PhD-program at the Faculty of Social and
Educational Sciences, and the faculty will be the employer. The working place
will be at the Department of Psychology.
The Department of Psychology currently has approximately 110 employees and
1100 students. The Department holds a large and diverse research community
covering a variety of disciplines within psychology, and offers studies at the
bachelor-, master- (specializations in learning – brain, behavior, environment
and in work- and organizational psychology) and PhD level in addition to a
study programme in clinical psychology. The Department also has three
outpatient clinics that offer outpatient treatment as part of the educational
programme in clinical psychology. In addition, the Department participates in
extensive local, national and international research collaborations. Our
research ambition is to be internationally and nationally leading in various
disciplines of psychology.
The position is connected to the joint project “[Narrating
Sustainability](https://narratingsustainability.wordpress.com/)” in
cooperation with the Department of Language and Literature and the Department
of Design. The project funding, which comes from NTNU’s thematic strategic
area Sustainability, will fund an additional PhD positions at the Department
of Language and Literature, supervised by Prof. Hanna Musiol and a postdoc at
the Department of Design, which will be supervised by Prof. Casper Boks.
The joint project will address forms, functions, and uses of narratives of
sustainability societal discourses in product, behaviour, lifestyle and
societal contexts. It aims to research sustainability narratives across
fields, and thereby increase understanding about how narratives and
temporality affect engagement and participation of audiences/citizens in the
socio-ecological crises debates and how that affects, and can be used to
enable, facilitate, nudge, tempt and seduce towards desirable behavior.
The PhD position in psychology will focus on research questions such as the
following: How do people who engage with different forms of narratives about
sustainability as identified by the PhD in literature and constructed in the
postdoc project in sustainable design react to these narratives? How is their
emotional reaction in the short and longer run (comparing for example
fictional and scientific narratives)? Can differences in emotional activation
explain differences in intentions to act and manifest behaviour? Do complex
(fictional and non-fictional) narratives train and stimulate systems thinking
in people being confronted with such narratives in different settings
(laboratory, in the field for example in an exhibition or an event, in a
situation where people can explore different narratives and interact with
them)? Do higher levels of system thinking lead to a broader engagement with
and trade-offs between diverse sustainability goals and enable people to
resist simplistic mono-thematic narratives? Do narratives with different
concepts of the temporality of sustainability lead to changes in the time
perspective in people with respect to a broad variety of sustainability goals?
Can techniques of experimenting with narratives open the ground for local co-
construction of resilient sustainability narratives? These questions will be
studied with a broad mix of quantitative and qualitative methods.

PhD Research: The role of oxytocin in the development of attachment |
Attachment research or research on children's trust in the availability of
their primary caregivers to provide support has highlighted the importance of
parent-child relationships for the development of children. Still, the
mechanisms underlying attachment development remain little understood in spite
of the fact that a better understanding of these mechanisms is critical to
design adequate treatment strategies for children referred to psychotherapy.
The past years have seen an increased interest in the biological mechanisms
underlying attachment development. In the current project, we will focus on
the role of oxytocin. According to several theories, oxytocin is secreted in
the brains during interactions with parents when children experience care.
Oxytocin could therefore play an important role in how children learn to trust
in the care of their parents. Research on this hypothesis is currently
limited, but it is already clear that the data only partly support this
theory. That is why the current project aims to test an alternative hypothesis
on the role of oxytocin in attachment development.
This hypothesis will mainly be studied in animals (mice). Specifically, we
will endocrinologically manipulate mice to observe their effects on the
formation of their attachment relationships. In addition, this project will
also conduct translational research in children. We will try to replicate
observations from animal research in elementary school children. For this
purpose we will conduct innovative research with Virtual Reality, EEG, eye
tracking, and skin conductance. In children we will manipulate oxytocin levels
with nasal sprays. |

PhD position - Combinatorial monitoring of the composition-dependent
microstructure dynamics in steels |
This PhD project is a collaborative work between ESRF, SIMAP laboratory of
Univ. Grenoble Alpes, and the industrial partner ArcelorMittal. The context of
this work is to develop a high throughput experimental methodology to feed
data-driven alloy design and industrial process control. You will join
beamline ID31’s team at the ESRF. ID31 is a versatile instrument suited for
fast high energy diffraction (HEXRD) measurements. The aim of the PhD project
is to develop the methodology of high-throughput, time- and space-resolved in-
situ HEXRD, aiming at monitoring in a combinatorial way the compositional
dependence of the phase transformation dynamics in advanced steels. You will
have to develop the fabrication of compositionally-graded steels from
diffusion couples under controlled atmosphere, the implementation of time- and
space-resolved fast diffraction experiments at the beamline (furnace
adaptation and fast movement, data synchronization), and the use of the very
large sets of data obtained to feed physical models for phase transformations
and/or machine learning approaches. Strategic scientific cases defined with
the industrial partner include: ferrite-to-austenite transformation and
cementite dissolution during heating, bainitic transformation in 3rd
generation advanced high strength steels, and precipitation of carbides in
bainitic and martensitic steels.

Research Assistant - Sciences Po - ERC PARTICIPATE |
Professor Julia Cagé, Principal Investigator of the European Research Council
starting grant (ERC-StG) No. 948516 PARTICIPATE: CamPAign Finance, InfoRmaTIon
and InfluenCe: A ComprehensIve APproAch Using Individual-Level Data and
CompuTEr Science Tools, hosted at Sciences Po Paris, is seeking a research
assistant starting Oct.1, 2021, for a duration of 9-month (renewable).
The goal of PARTICIPATE is to develop a comprehensive approach to the study of
campaign finance, information and influence, using new individual-level data
and investigating recent changes in participation behaviors. What are the
motives behind small campaign contributions? Does tax policy affect political
giving? Why are so few politicians from the working class and can this change?
What is the ability of the media to induce citizens to make electoral
decisions they would not make if reporting were unbiased? While there is
evidence at the macro level on the flow of money in elections, news
consumption, or the extent of charitable giving, relatively little is known at
the micro level, e.g. on individual-level behaviours such as the motivations
of small donors, the tax-price elasticity of political donations, or the
exposure to competing information flows. PARTICIPATE will help fill this gap.
By providing groundbreaking evidence on new forms of participation, it will
lead to the reassessment of influential theories of special interest groups
and policy formation. One distinguishing feature of the proposal is to combine
comprehensive individual-level datasets and the use of computer sciences tools
(such as natural language processing techniques and machine learning).
We are recruiting a candidate with a Master's degree to accompany us in a
research project on fact-checking conducted in collaboration between AFP
Factuel and the Economics Department of Sciences Po, as part of the ERC
PARTICIPATE project.
The candidate should have a background in journalism, an excellent knowledge
of the most popular social networks (Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc.), with a
"data" profile and a mastery of Python and R (a mastery of Stata is also
welcome but not mandatory).
The candidate will work in close collaboration with the PI and the
PARTICIPATE's research team at the department of economics, Sciences Po Paris
and with the AFP Factuel teams. He or she must be able to work in a team, on
an evolving project, to collect data and to format them. He or she must show
initiative. Research experience is welcome.
He or she should be interested in academic research in media economics and
able to work with both journalists and academic researchers. He or she should
have a good knowledge of the French media and political landscape.
The candidate will be hired on a 9-month renewable fixed-term contract. |

PhD in bioinformatics on multi-comics data analysis of glioblastoma |
Title: Bioinformatics methods to identify cellular types in GBM and develop
prognostic models for cell fate using Artificial Intelligence
Starting date: October 2021
Location: Bordeaux, France
Laboratory: IBGC, CNRS
GLIONEUROMET - Metabolic crosstalk between glioblastoma cells and neurons - is
funded by the National Cancer Institute, INCA and offers a fully funded PhD
position at the intersection of two dynamic teams within the IBGC CNRS
Institute, those led by Macha Nikolski and Thomas Daubon.
Glioblastomas (GBMs) are grade IV malignant gliomas mainly deriving from
neural stem cells, which are progenitors of astrocytic or neuronal lineages.
This cancer is one of the deadliest types in humans, with an average survival
time of less than 15 months upon diagnosis, and an incidence increasing
worldwide. Many clinical studies have been conducted on patients with GBMs,
however little progress has been made on patient survival in the last decade.
Cancer recurrence is mostly caused by the regrowth of highly invasive cells
that spread out from the tumor bulk, in the close vicinity to the resection
site. A large number of GBM cells are invading from the tumor core, partially
due to hypoxic conditions, as demonstrated by recent publications (Daubon et
al., 2019 Nature Communications).
Our recent results demonstrated that metabolic coupling between glycolytic and
oxidative tumor cells, based on expression of LDHA and LDHB, is essential for
GBM development (Guyon et al., submitted – available on Research Square). GBM
cells invade the peritumoral space via different routes, one of those is along
white matter tracts, which is not well described in the literature. The
interactions of tumor cells with the peritumoral nervous parenchyma are also
not well characterized, only recent findings described the formation of neuro-
glioma-synapses to sustain GBM invasion. It is plausible that a metabolite
exchange such as the lactate shuttle between astrocytes and neurons might
operate between GBM and non-malignant cells. In this project, we propose to
evaluate the importance and the regulatory mechanisms of metabolic coupling
between glioma cells and neurons in GBM development, especially during cell
invasion.
The bioinformatics Work Package of the project will be centered on the multi-
omics single-cell data acquired by the experimental teams. More precisely, the
candidate will:
* Define and apply bioinformatics pipelines to define GBM biomarkers from transcriptomics, metabolomics (targeted isotope-labeled data) and imaging datasets in a computationally efficient manner.
* Develop a bioinformatics methodology for integrative analysis of bulk and single cell transcriptomics and metabolomics.
* Using temporal series of omics data, build a predictive model of metabolic coupling.
The position is offered for 3 years. The hired researcher must enroll in
Doctoral Programme at the University of Bordeaux, as well as to participate in
complementary training activities.
HOW TO APPLY
Applicants should send full application by e-mail to Macha Nikolski and Thomas
Daubon consisting of:
* Curriculum Vitae
* University transcripts (grades)
* A motivation letter addressing his/her research interests in relationship to the research project.
* Recommendation letters

KINDER will provide teachers, educators and other staff with gender-responsive
and transformative tools, allowing them to respond to the specific needs of
girls and boys in the teaching and learning processes from a gender equality
perspective. While engaging families in a participatory process that aims to
promote diversity within and outside schools. Our strategy will equip teachers
with knowledge, skills, and attitudes for a gender-responsive pedagogy (while
promoting a behavioural change of the sometimes-unconscious transmission of
gender stereotypes by these professionals). KINDER will thus support school
management and national public authorities to mainstream gender issues at
early age levels.

Science and Technology, IP with national funds (PIDDAC) via the State Budgetin
the following conditions:
Scientific area: Biomedical engineering.
Skills/Qualifications/Admission requirements: (Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical
Engineering enrolled in a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering or
enrolled in an Integrated Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering with the
Bachelor's Degree component completed.
Although the recipients must be enrolled in a cycle of studies leading to the
attribution of an academic degree, at the time of application it is not
necessary for the candidate to have made such an enrollment, and proof of
enrollment must be presented until the fellowship is contractualized.
Candidates are only required to meet the requirements to enroll in the
training offer. If there are candidates already enrolled (including attending
a course), they compete on an equal footing with those who are not enrolled.
Work plan/ Objectives: Performing the following tasks:
1st Task: Background concepts acquisition & literature review
Objective: State of the art review and background concepts acquisition
concerning EEG and ECG, epilepsy, epileptic seizure prediction, concept drifts
and related estimation methods. More precisely, the student should study the
following basic concepts:
-Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Electrocardiogram (ECG): acquisition methods; types of waves present in the EEG signal; most common type of CDs manifestation on these signals;
-Epilepsy & Seizure prediction.
-Methods to estimate CDs.
-Explore the current state of the art publications related to CDs in the epilepsy context.
2nd Task: Biological Periodicities and medication annotation
Objective: Definition of the circadian, ultradian and infradian cycles for
each patient recording. This involves the definition of the day/night cycles,
morning/afternoon phases, etc. EEG/ECG annotations concerning medication
information available at the EPILEPSIAE database will also be performed. These
annotations will be composed of three important information: medicament, time
of intake and dosage.
3rd Task: CDs assessment from biosignals
Objective: This task will infer different patient physiological stages by
extraction of EEG/ECG features and by using classification methods. Namely,
identification of sleep stages, sleep quality, among other changes.
Biosignal features mainly based on the frequency content change along time
should be considered. In the EEG case relative power in the well-known
frequency bands (Delta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma) will be considered. ECG
features will be derived from HRV, as for example the well-known VLF, LF, and
HF powers.
Classifiers will be based on machine learning, and as CDs imply changes over
time, models with memory will be faced. Memory will be implemented by
considering models with feedback and with lagged inputs or by using recurrent
models with intrinsic memory, like Long-Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTM).
4th Task: Article/report writting.

processes. In addition, a focus should be on the physiological and molecular
biological characterisation of marine bacteria that are
difficult to cultivate. Furthermore, it would be desirable to work on
innovative aspects of the biotechnology/bioeconomy of marine
microorganisms. For example, research on the utilisation of marine resources,
especially algal polysaccharides by biotechnologically
relevant marine bacteria and their enzymes, would be possible. Collaboration
in future or existing research networks in the fields of
marine microbiome research and bioeconomy is expected (/).
In addition, the establishment of an independent research group is to be
promoted through the acquisition of third-party funding.
The tasks of the professorship include participation in courses of
microbiology in the Bachelor's degree programmes Biology, Biochemistry,
Biomathematics, Landscape Ecology & Conservation and Environmental Sciences as
well as the Master's degree programmes "Molecular Biology and Physiology",

Research Grant - BI/Nº56 – 24/08/2021 – DARING – PTDC/EEI-COM/7775/2020 |
**Summary:**
Recently, data driven algorithms such as deep neural networks have attracted a
lot of attention and have become a popular area of research and development.
This interest is driven by several factors, such as recent advances in
processing power (cheap and powerful hardware), the availability of large data
sets (big data) and several small but important algorithmic advances (e.g.
convolutional layers). These advances have led to an increased interest in
applying deep neural networks to the problem of image compression, which is
currently a very hot worldwide research topic. The aim is to develop state-of-
the-art deep learning methods that are able to infer a compact image
representation model, obtained (learned) from a large amount of visual data
and capable of representing the wide variety of visual content that is
available today. The work to be conducted with this research grant is in the
context of the DARING project financed by Fundação para a Ciencia e Tecnologia
(FCT), which has the objective of advancing existing solutions in the
learning-based image coding field.
**Work Objectives:**
The main objective of this work is to study, design, implement and disseminate
(in top-level IEEE publications) novel algorithms to advance existing
solutions in the learning-based image coding field.
**Duration:**
12 months, with the possibility of renewal. Start date: September 16th, 2021
or soon thereafter.
**Place of work:**
The work will be developed at the premises of Instituto de Telecomunicações at
Av. Rovisco Pais, 1, 1049-001 Lisboa.
**Required Documents:**
Cover letter explaining the interest in the position; Detailed Curriculum
Vitae with transcripts; Proof of registration and enrolment in a study cycle
in the preferred areas.
Apply online clicking on the “Apply Now” button.
E-mail submissions will not be considered. (The cover letter and the CV are

Postdoc Position in Soil Microbial Ecology |
**Postdoc position in soil microbial ecology**
University of Thessaly is offering a Postdoc position in soil microbial
ecology with expected commencement October 2021 or as soon as possible
thereafter. This position is available in the frame of an HFRI-funded project
ReASSESS (Full Title: Revolutionizing the assessment of the toxicity of
pesticides on Soil microorganisms: from single species tests to ecosystem
approaches) which is a 36-month project.
Brief Project Description
Pesticides are common environmental contaminants regulated by a stringent EU
regulatory framework. This is based on exposure and toxicity assays, which are
quite well established for aquatic ecosystems but not in soil ecosystems. This
is especially true for soil microorganisms, where despite the abundance of
advanced and standardized tools, the assessment of pesticides toxicity still
relies on an outdated N mineralization test which ignores potential effects on
key microbial functions and on microbial diversity. Furthermore, current
scientific knowledge is limited to assessment of pesticide effects at single
microbial groups while effects at ecosystem level along the soil food-web
remain unknown. ReASSESS timely comes to address these scientific and
regulatory gaps through a research program aiming to produce the benchmarking
knowledge required to comprehensively assess the soil microbial toxicity of
pesticides. In this quest novel tools, experimental procedures and risk
assessment schemes will be developed providing fundamental knowledge to reform
the currently outdated relevant risk assessment scheme. The scheme proposed by
ReASSESS will be based on the response of key microbial indicator groups like
ammonia-oxidizing microorganism (AOM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF),
modulators of key soil functions and soil fertility, in the frame of a tiered
approach moving from in vitro, to in soil, to ecosystem level assessment. The
main goal of ReASSESS will be accomplished through three specific objectives:
(1) to develop pioneering in vitro tests, as a first conservative step, to
assess the toxicity of pesticides on distinct AOM and AMF
(2) to develop advanced experimental lab and field tests to assess the
toxicity of pesticides on natural soil assemblages of AOM and AMF, as a more
realistic toxicity assessment step
(3) to develop an ecosystem-level toxicity assessment: explore the impact of
pesticides on microorganisms from different trophic-levels within the soil
food-web (predator - prey)

United Nations University for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of
Resources (UNU-FLORES)
UNU-FLORES develops strategies to resolve pressing issues in the sustainable
use and integrated management of environmental resources such as water, soil,
waste, energy, and other geo-resources that are of concern to the United
Nations and its Member States – particularly in developing and emerging
economies. Based in Dresden, Germany, the Institute engages in research,
capacity development, postgraduate teaching, advanced training, and knowledge
dissemination to advance the Resource Nexus.
Doctoral Research
The ever-increasing demand for food means that securing agricultural
production is of great importance. Simultaneously degradation of land quality
and climate change may jeopardise food production and water availability. This
calls for multifunctional and productive agricultural systems that produce not
only food and fibre but also various non-commodity outputs and ecosystem
services, i.e., preventing soil and water resources from overuse, degradation,
and pollution, as well as preserving biodiversity in a landscape context.
Africa's Leaders recognise these challenges; therefore, the Comprehensive
Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and the Alliance for a Green
Revolution in Africa (AGRA) are calling for a boost in agricultural
productivity through improved use of agricultural soils embedded in complex
landscapes, as well as better management of land and water resources under
climate change and in a watershed context.
The main objective of this project is to develop strategies for a
multifunctional rural landscape with sustainable land management by
considering the characteristics of pilot areas of Tanzania and Kenya in terms
of ecological (e.g., soils, relief, crop types and climate) and socioeconomic
(e.g., income) conditions, which are vital not only to economic growth (SDG
8), protection of water resources (SDG 6), and land ecosystems (SDG 15) but
are also fundamental to reducing poverty (SDG 1) and hunger (SDG 2).
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to conduct their doctoral
research under the guidance of supervisors at both UNU-FLORES and Technische
Universitaet Dresden. The candidate will also collaborate with fellow doctoral
researchers and senior scientists in research, event organisation and
participation, publications, and contribute to the Implementation Plan of UNU-
FLORES and the mission of the United Nations. As a facet of the project,
interested candidates must consider the impact of their research on
communities, and the potential for their research to be transferred to their
home country, Tanzania, or Kenya, upon completion of the doctorate.

Postdoctoral Fellow in Remote Sensing and Forest Genetics |
**Backgound**
Planting seedlings that are well-suited for their environments is one of the
most important decisions affecting forest productivity, health and survival.
Warming and more variable climates, linked with droughts, heat-waves and
growing-season frosts, are increasing forest stress and reforestation
failures. Adapting the management of BC’s unique forested ecosystems will mean
planting more climate-resilient trees, but we are currently limited in our
ability to assess enough trees in field studies to identify the resilient
ones. Drone-based remote sensing technologies, which allow the derivation of
3D point clouds from LIDAR, and indices from spectral sensors, will allow our
team to rapidly extract tree structural and physiological information from
tree breeding trials. This will allow us to derive new relationships with
climate variables and to select the highest-yielding trees that are also well-
adapted to changing climates.
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow to lead this research, including: The
acquisition of data at a number of forest genetics field trials multiple times
per year; developing processing pathways to derive indices relevant to forest
phenotyping analysis; and preparing scientific manuscripts for publication.
Since you, the successful candidate, will be working with the forest genetics
field trials (progeny trials) that are the foundation of reforestation
decisions, your research results will have direct and long-lasting benefits
that will improve the climate resilience of BC’s forests.
Successful applicants should:
* Hold a PhD in Forestry, Remote Sensing, Computer Programming, Forest Ecology, or related field;
* Have a strong background in remote sensing data processing, of both 3D point clouds and spectral data;
* Experience in flying and acquiring data from drone-based platforms would be key asset
* A strong statistical background;
* Have strong programming skills (preferably in R). Experience in R package development is also a strong asset;
* Have excellent oral and written communication skills with a strong publication record;
* Experience working with collaborative and multi-disciplinary teams an asset.
**Details**
The candidate will be based at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in
Vancouver, Canada, under the supervision of Professor Nicholas Coops. As the
successful candidate, you will join UBC’s Integrated Remote Sensing Studio
(IRSS) team. You will also work closely with forest genetics partners in the
Canadian federal and BC provincial governments, therefore being supported by a
larger team and gaining exposure to a range of workplace environments. Our
government partners will also help ensure uptake of our team’s research
results for real-world impact.
Applicants should send a letter explaining their motivation and relevant skill
set, a CV and the names of three references to
[nicholas.coops@ubc.ca](mailto:nicholas.coops@ubc.ca)
**The deadline for sending in applications is October 15th 2021, but we will
consider applications until the position is filled. The expected start date
would be in November 1st 2021. The position is for a fixed length of 24
months.**

ERC-funded post-doc on active surface and finite-element modeling of embryo &
tissue dynamics |
The successful candidate will develop physical and numerical models of embryo
and tissue dynamics. Its role will be to design a generic computational
framework for multicellular dynamics in 3D, based on active surface
constitutive laws and finite-element implementations on surface meshes
(Turlier et al. 2014, Borja-da-Rocha et al. 2021). These models will be
applied in particular to model early embryo development in 3D+time (Maître,
Turlier et al. 2016, Dumortier et al. 2019). She/he will have to work with the
other members of the team and will work closely with several biologists.
She/he will have to present her/his results at scientific conferences, to
write scientific articles and to actively participate in the scientific life
of the team and host Institute.

Cells are highly dynamic structures, that divide, change shape and rearrange
to build complex embryo and tissue structures. This is done primarily by
actively tuning the mechanical properties of their surface, called the
actomyosin cortex. In the last years, we - and others - have been working on
viscous-active physical and numerical models of the actomyosin cortex, the
main component of cell surface mechanics (Turlier et al. 2014, Borja et al.
2021). Recently, we derived and simulated with finite-elements a novel active
thin shell theory of the cortex, that notably accounts for surface buckling
and material turnover. The aim of this project is to generalise such
theoretical and numerical framework to now tackle the dynamics of
multicellular dynamics. Building on the The project is part of the ERC
DeepEmbryo project led by Hervé Turlier, whose goal is to reverse-engineer the
development of embryos by combining biophysical and machine learning methods,
in collaboration with several biologists.

PhD in molecular and structural biology, development of new methods (H/F) |
Description of the PhD project :
In the last decade, structural biology has been revolutionized repeatedly.
First, the advent of X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs), and the introduction
of the serial crystallography (SX) data collection mode, has opened doors to
macromolecular structure determination from microcrystals and to time-resolved
experiments on ultra-fast time-scales (fs-ps). Cryo-electron-microscopy
(cryoEM) was transformed by the development of highly sensitive cameras and
phase plates, becoming a central method for structure determination from
comparatively large macromolecular objects, alleviating the need for single
crystals for structure determination. At mid-way between the two techniques,
micro-electron diffraction (µED) was augmented, enabling 3D-structure
determination at the atomic level of resolution from protein nanocrystals in
far smaller settings than XFELs – again, thanks to new cameras able to record
electronic diffraction patterns as a stream rather as a compilation of images.
Common to all these advances is that the breakthrough was achieved by
reduction of the dose deposited onto the sample for collection of an image
(cryoEM) or a diffraction pattern (SX, µED). Most recently, the Miller group
combined the serial crystallography and µED approaches to perform serial-ED
(Fig 1), obtaining a 1.55 Å (now <1.5 Å) structure from granulovirus occlusion
bodies that diffracted to 2.0 Å resolution at an XFEL.
Given the cost-effectiveness of serial-ED and the reduced amount of sample
required, the central hypothesis of this project is that the future of
nanocrystallography will be led by this approach, rather than by SX at an
XFEL. However, the boundaries of this just-emerging method have not as yet
been explored systematically. Notably, it remains unclear whether or not the
method could permit structure determination from crystals grown in vivo of
non-model proteins (objective 1). Also, what is the smallest size of crystal
that is amenable to (and therefore can be probed by) serial-ED (objective 2)?
Last, yet most importantly, can the serial-ED method be extended to the fourth
dimension, enabling time-resolved experiments on macromolecular nanocrystals
directly in an electron microscope (objective 3)? We propose to provide
answers to these three burning questions by combining the expertise in serial-
ED [1], sample delivery [2-5], and new concepts in electron microscope design
[6-7] present in the Miller group at the University of Toronto, with that in
serial-crystallography [8-12], in vivo nanocrystal production [8,11,13,14] and
time-resolved crystallography [15-17], present in the Colletier team at
Grenoble's Institute of Structural Biology.

Working context :
This PhD fellowship is funded by the CNRS International PhD program. The PhD
studies will be carried out in the Serial Nano-Crystallography team (DYNAMOP
group) of the Institut de Biologie Structurale in Grenoble, under the
supervision of Jacques-Philippe Colletier. This PhD thesis is part of a
collaboration with the group of Prof. Dwayne Miller at the University of
Toronto. The gross salary will be 2135 €, with a starting data on October 1st,
2021.
Complementary informations / desired profile :
We seek to recruit a talented and highly-motivated PhD student trained in
biochemistry and structural biology. She/he should be eager to learn new
biophysical and structural methods, from production of nanocrystals in vivo to
serial ED data processing, structure factor extrapolation and structure
determination. Previous knowledge regarding the molecular biology of Bacillus
thuringiensis and the production of nanocrystals from this species, will
nonetheless be considered as a real plus.
The PhD student will be in charge of the in vivo production of naturally
crystalline samples, including nanocrystals of the mosquitocidal toxins
Cyt1Aa, Cry11Aa and Cry1Ae, but as well of that of recombinant crystals of
non-naturally crystalline proteins. To this end, specific shuttle plasmids
will be designed and transformed into an acrystalliferous strain of Bacillus
thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (devoid of its natural megaplasmid), which
will allow expression of the proteins of interest under control of a set of
sporulation dependant promoters. Natural and recombinant crystals will be
studied by serial electron diffraction (serial-ED) both within cells (i.e. in
vivo) and after extraction and purification. In the case of Cyt1Aa, Cry11Aa
and Cry1Ae crystals, we will monitor their diffraction power as a function of
the time of growth, so as to determine the smallest crystal size amenable to
seria-ED. In this context, a fine pre-characterization will be carried out by
optical, electronic and atomic microscopies (at the IBS) – and by electron
microscopy (at the University of Toronto). The PhD student will characterize
the effect of parameters such as the pH, the temperature and the presence of
additives, on the in vivo nucleation and growth of nanocrystals – and notably
those formed by non-naturally cristalline proteins ('cargo'). In this context,
the student will produce the shuttle vectors necessary to express either the
isolated cargo proteins, or their N-, or C- or N- and C- terminal fusions with
naturally crystalline proteins. We will specifically focus on five cargo
proteins, namely the ultrastable fluorescent protein rsFolder, insulin and
three immunoglobulins. The PhD student will be trained in serial
crystallography data processing and structure determination at the IBS, and
will receive an introduction to serial-ED data collection during visits in the
group of Prof. Dwayne Miller, at the University of Toronto. Ideally, one visit
per year will be funded.
Serial electron diffraction (serial-ED) crystallography is an emerging
structural biology method whereby data are collected from protein nanocrystals
using a sub-micron-sized electron beam.
The method is set to lead the future of nanocrystallography, given its cost-
effectiveness and the reduced amount of sample required.
Combining the expertise of the French and Canadian teams, the project will
address three issues of fundamental importance to further advance the serial-
ED methodology.
Specifically, we will (i) test if the method can be applied to solve nano-
crystalline protein structures in the cellular environment (i.e. in vivo);
(ii) determine what is the smallest crystal size that can be probed by serial-
ED; and (iii) offer a proof of principle for performing time-resolved
experiments on macromolecular nanocrystals using serial-ED. The PhD studies
will allow to explore the boundaries of serial-ED and to push the limits in
static and time-resolved nano-crystallography. |

M/F Intelligent robotic interactions optimized and adapted to the spectrum of
individual impairments of children with ASD |
For the LIRMM, the robotics department has recognized expertise in robotics;
the LIRMM supervisor, A. Kheddar, has international expertise in humanoid
robotics and has led very advanced projects with major industries, such as
Airbus and Michelin. A recent thesis with SoftBank Robotics concerns the
evolution of Pepper robots towards physical assistance to disabled people. We
are also participating in the ANA Avatar XPrize, where the development of the
most efficient technologies in telepresence will be used for the benefit of
this thesis. This multidisciplinary thesis works to consolidate the poles of
excellence in Occitania via a new synergy between the medical field and
robotics.
For the team of Professor A. Baghdadli's team, which is responsible for
several local and national initiatives, is opening up a field of investigation
that was previously totally absent in Occitania and is part of the Center of
Excellence on Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders that she directs. This
thesis is a unique opportunity to set up synergies hitherto unexplored in the
field of robotics and autism and could provide centers, CHU, SESSAD... with a
modern learning tool in the medium term.
Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by significant
impairment in social interaction, such as impaired facial expressivity
contributing to their social isolation and difficulties in emotional
regulation. For this reason, methods of teaching social skills to young
children with ASD and improving facial expressiveness have been documented.
Although previous studies have examined various strategies for teaching social
interactions through robots, few studies have fully exploited this potential.
Some results suggest that small humanoid robots could help individuals with
ASD learn to understand the meaning of facial expressions and realize their
importance in communication. Despite this potential for robots to support the
development of children with ASD, the limited evidence available requires
researchers to conduct studies of greater validity involving the participation
of interdisciplinary teams in the design, development, and implementation of
new robotic systems for interaction but also for observation. In this thesis,
social robots will be used as "therapeutic" tools to improve social skills and
communication in children with ASD, but also as observation and numerical data
collection tools that allow for better analyses of each child's specific
behavior. Overall, we seek to investigate whether social robot interactions
can provide therapeutic benefits by allowing for the experience of audiovisual
as well as haptic (i.e., touch) social cues through a simplified version of a
human interaction (the robotic avatar). Furthermore, given that social
interactions rely on audiovisual and often tactile communication, and that
multi-sensory processing is impaired in ASD, we also intend to examine how
enhanced sensory processing and integration of robotic social cues may
underlie the perceptual and behavioral benefits that social robots confer. We
expect that robots used in a social communication skills training program will
generate a number of social and behavioral benefits in children with ASD,
including increased engagement, increased attention, and decreased social
anxiety.
However, this thesis differs from existing work with three important
components:
1) The robot is not pre-programmed but driven in a local, immersive
telepresence mode by the caregiver. To do so, the thesis will start with in-
situ tests of telepresence with multi-sensory rendering of the Pepper robot
(the LIRMM has 3 copies, two of which are provided free of charge by the
company SoftBank Robotics Europe);
2) The robot will be equipped with an AI system that records the behaviors of
each child followed, and self-learns the appropriate interactions from its
manipulation by the caregiver. This is the fundamental development of this
thesis which will consist in setting up an original computational architecture
ranging from existing bricks in facial recognition and motion tracking to the
classification of the most relevant features of a successful social
interaction in response to the robot's actions, first dictated by the
caregiver, then shared once the robot has learned the behaviors likely to
arouse each child's specific attention and interest in sharing and
communicating. One could also consider the case where, conversely, it is the
child who is immersed in a synthetic or real world piloting a robotic avatar
and interacting with a person in "embedded" mode;
3) The current context: the supervising team is part of the national program
Centre of Excellence on Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders with access to
a large cohort of children being followed.
Robot-assisted training programs and training using virtual (avatars) or real
(robot) agents could make it easier to provide learning programs to a much
larger fraction of children with ASD. This thesis will evaluate whether
robotic-assisted learning will gain acceptance. The time and amount of
learning effects, particularly with respect to cognitive competence and social
interaction. In addition, it will be tested whether precise control of the
predictability of feedback signals and the amount of social feedback provided
by the robot or avatars in an individual-specific manner further reduces
stress during training. This work will provide important data for a new
generation of systems and techniques suitable for non-medication treatments
for children with ASD.

Theoretical modelling of superconducting nickelates |
Collaborations:
This theoretical PhD work is part of the project SUPERNICKEL which is granted
by the French national research agency (ANR). It will be performed in tight
and regular collaboration with the french experimental teams expert in the
field, which synthesize and characterize nickelates, especially in the
following laboratories: ICMCB (Bordeaux), Institut Néel (Grenoble), CRISMAT
(Caen), ISMO (Orsay), GEMAC (Versailles).
Scientific context:
Superconductivity is a macroscopic quantum state of matter with fascinating
signatures including zero resistance and expulsion of magnetic flux. After the
revolutionary discovery of superconductivity with high critical temperature
(Tc) in cuprates, few decades ago, the possibility of replacing copper by
nickel has rapidly emerged. Indeed, both elements are neighbors in the
periodic table. This aim of realizing cuprate analogue superconductors
remained unsuccessful for a long time, but the situation started to change
recently when superconductivity was first reported in a LaNiO3/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3
superlattice. Then a breakthrough came in 2019 with the report of
superconductivity up to Tc=15K in a film Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2. These pioneering
results have now been reproduced and enlarged to other systems, opening a new
era in the research on superconductivity, with more than one hundred published
articles [1].
Similar to CuO2 layers in cuprates, NiO2 layers in nickelates form a square
lattice with Ni+ ions in a d9 electronic configuration. In both cases
superconductivity is achieved by doping a parent compound, here NdNiO2,
showing strong electronic correlations. But nickelates present also
specificities, such as the possible absence of magnetic order in the undoped
parent, and different Fermi surface and correlation strengths. Furthermore,
since doping is realized by atomic substitution of rare-earth (Nd
substitution), new effects may emerge, resulting from disorder and electronic
correlations from the rare-earth.
Project:
Since the discovery of superconductivity in nickelates, various ab initio
calculations have been published, providing relevant information on the
electronic band structure and the stability of crystal structures and
interfaces. In most of these theoretical studies, doping is modelled as a
static charge reservoir effect, by simply shifting the Fermi energy level.
In this Phd project, atomic substitution will be modelled using a
complementary approach which takes into account effects of disorder and strong
electronic correlations. For this purpose, we will study phenomenological
model Hamiltonians (Kondo and Hubbard) focusing on an appropriate description
of microscopic interactions between d electrons from Nickel and f electrons
from the rare-earth.
The theoretical method will adapt and generalize the Dynamical Mean Field
Theory (DMFT) approach that we have developed previously for studying
substitution effects in Kondo alloys [2]. One of the goals is to predict rich
temperature-pressure-doping phase diagrams for nickelates, and to analyze non-
linear and disorder effects induced by substitution, like Fermi surface
reconstructions. We also expect to discover exceptional points (Fermi arcs,
pseudogaps, etc…) as well as quantum phase transitions including
superconducting instabilities. The model parameters will be first chosen
phenomenologically, then more quantitative calculations will be implemented
using ab initio parameters computed by our collaborators. |

Applications are invited for a research project interfacing chemistry and
biology in the group of Gilles Guichard (Institutes CBMN & IECB, Univ.
Bordeaux, CNRS) and in collaboration with Francoise Ochsenbein at the
Institute of Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC, Univ Paris-Saclay). The
goal is to develop and optimize functional modulators of the interactions
between histones and one of their chaperones (i.e. ASF1) using a structure-
guided approach (see Science Adv, 2021, 7, eabd9153), study the outcome of
target engagement by these molecules and explore their therapeutic potential
in cancer models. The ASF1 histone chaperone plays a crucial role in
maintaining the epigenetic information carried by H3-H4 histones. The
overexpression of ASF1B induces the proliferation of tumor cells and
constitutes a powerful marker of poor prognosis for breast cancer. These
properties make ASF1 a potential target of therapeutic interest which
motivated the design of a first generation of peptide-based inhibitors.
However, these peptides are degraded rapidly in vivo by proteases and have
limited capacity to penetrate cells, requiring optimization of their
pharmacological properties. These optimized inhibitors will also serve as a
basis for the development of new molecular probes (clickable, fluorescent) to
explore the role of ASF1 in cells.
This project, which combines peptidomimetic chemistry and chemical biology
will be conducted in the Guichard group (), a
group leader at both CBMN and European Institute of Chemistry and Biology
(IECB). CBMN and IECB are highly dynamic and interdisciplinary research
centers located on the campus of the University of Bordeaux, France. The
Guichard laboratory is well equipped for organic synthesis with access to all
technological platforms of the Institute, which combine cutting-edge
instrumentation in physicochemical analysis (NMR, mass spectrometry, X-ray
diffraction, etc.).
This is a project funded by the National Research Agency (ANR) and the Région
Nouvelle Aquitaine. The project associates in a very complementary way the
group of Françoise Ochsenbein at I2BC. We anticipate that part of the work
(biophysical measurements and structural biology) will be conducted in
Françoise Ochsenbein's laboratory as part of secondments at I2BC. |

PhD position: DNA methylation in mammals (H/F) |
Cytosine DNA methylation is a highly conserved epigenetic modification,
typically associated with transcriptional gene silencing. In mammals, DNA
methylation is found almost exclusively in the CpG dinucleotide context, where
it is present in high levels. However, early in development, the genome
undergoes massive reprogramming of DNA methylation, where global levels
decrease to 20% and then are reestablished. How the organism copes with such a
deficit of the mark is open area of research. One intriguing avenue to explore
is the relationship of DNA methylation with the polycomb group of proteins,
which methylate histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27). Polycomb group proteins are part
of an epigenetic pathway that is also associated with gene silencing, but
interestingly is often mutually exclusive with DNA methylation. In cell-based
models of embryonic development, polycomb is broadly distributed throughout
the genome when DNA methylation is low, but when cued to differentiate, DNA
methylation supplants polycomb at thousands of regions of the genome. What is
the purpose of polycomb in lowly DNA methylated cells? What happens if DNA
methylation does not replace polycomb? What is the mechanism that facilitates
this epigenetic switch?
The goal of this project is to use a reverse genetic approach to make inroads
into these questions. Several polycomb group proteins have been reported to be
sensitive to DNA methylation. Using a mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) model,
we will generate endogenous tags that will allow us to both detect this set of
proteins and rapidly degrade them. With the detectable epitope tags, we can
use emerging genome-wide techniques to determine where the proteins are bound
on the genome in lowly methylated ESCs, as well as highly methylated
differentiated cells. With the inducible degron aspect of the tag, we can
determine the effect on gene regulation in the absence of these proteins when
DNA methylation is globally low or high. Using this approach, we hope to
address fundamental aspects of this important epigenetic interplay, and the
findings will implications for epigenetic regulation of development. In
parallel, we will develop a reporter system that is sensitive to epigenetic
switching in order to carry out a genome-wide CRISPR-based screen to discover
novel factors.
This project will emphasize molecular cloning, ESC culture, and epigenetic
analyses as part of the Chromatin Dynamics in Mammalian Development team at
the Institut Jacques Monod.

PhD Position Computational/Experimental Investigation of 3D-Printed Civil
Engineering Materials |
The growth of 3D printing technology provokes a revolution in many disciplines
of solid mechanics such as materials science or structural engineering and the
door is even opening for geoscience. In those fields, mechanical strength is a
key parameter to control stability and ensure safety. To achieve these goals,
3D printing can rely on its unique ability to perfectly control the internal
geometry produced inside the structure. This capability can for example extend
our range of experimental validation on complex structures or help optimizing
strength-to-weight ratio to produce materials both resistant and lightweight.
In this project we propose to characterize the influence of internal structure
on 3D printed parts strength from a fundamental point of view. With a
multiscale method, numerical simulations of mechanical loading on 3D
structures with an internal geometry will be used to upscale the local
plasticity in the sample to the macroscopic strength of the structure.
Experimental validation can be obtained on the corresponding 3D printed part. |

PhD Position in Development of a Train-Borne Tribometer |
Automatic train operation (ATO) has enormous benefits such as increased system
capacity, punctuality, resilience, and reduced operating costs and energy
consumption. It will be the future of the railways. Wheel-rail friction
control plays a crucial role in the realisation of ATO. A minimum level of
friction must be guaranteed to ensure the necessary braking and traction power
of trains, whereas high friction increases wear and fatigue of wheels and
rails, noise emissions and carbon footprint.
Wheel-rail friction control relies on the reliable measurement of friction.
This PhD project aims to develop a train-borne tribometer for real-time wheel-
rail friction measurement and control, which will be a part of the future ATO
system. The challenges include accurate measurement of wheel-rail contact
force, position and velocity in moving trains in a highly dynamic and harsh
working environment.
The PhD candidate is expected to develop a prototype system to measure wheel-
rail contact force and creepage. For this, both experimental investigation and
numerical simulation of the vehicle-track dynamic interaction, with a focus on
the wheel-rail frictional rolling, will be conducted.
As a PhD student, you will be a member of the Railway Engineering section in
the Department of Engineering Structures at the Faculty of Civil Engineering
and Geosciences, TU Delft. The supervisory team consists of Prof. Zili Li
(promotor) and Dr. Zhen Yang (co-promotor). As part of this project, you will
engage in discussions with railway industry partners and receive feedback.
Limited teaching responsibilities are also included in this position. |

Postdoc - Modelling lipid oxidation in food emulsions |
_**Are you a post doc candidate interested in understanding the chemical
reactions driving the shelf-life of food products? When you are you looking
for a challenging postdoc project at the edge between food chemistry and
modelling, then you could be the ideal candidate to join our project called
'Modelling lipid oxidation in food emulsions'.**_
**What are you going to do?**
Lipid oxidation in food has been investigated for a long time, as it affects
nutritional properties, induces the generation of off-flavors and reduces the
shelf life of the products. But the complex mechanisms behind lipid oxidation
in emulsions are still not fully understood. To be able to answer the growing
consumer demand for sustainable (ambient supply chain) and natural (without
artificial antioxidants) products, it is essential to better understand these
mechanisms.
As a postdoc, you will develop a model that enables the quantitative
prediction of lipid oxidation in wet and dry emulsions. This will require a
combination of different modelling approaches. The kinetics of the process
should be described using realistic parameters (e.g. T, time) and product
characteristics as input. Your model should link the reaction of initial
unsaturated fatty acids to primary and secondary oxidation products (i.e.
formation of off-flavors). In later stages, the heterogeneous distribution of
reactants and possible diffusion of reactive species through the emulsion
would be considered. Data for this project are collected from current and past
experiments performed by the PhD candidates in this project and you will
exclusively work on the modelling assignment using these data.
This postdoc position is part of a larger project, already including 6 PhD
positions, in collaboration with Wageningen University (WUR), University of
Amsterdam (UvA), Eindhoven University of Technology (TuE) and two industrial
partners. The goal of this larger project is to understand and control the
mechanisms behind lipid oxidation in emulsions in order to identify novel
anti-oxidant strategies. |

PhD candidate 'Coping with the threat of social change: The case of
sustainability and inclusiveness policies' (1.0 FTE) |
At the Organizational Behaviour Group (Faculty of Social Sciences) at Utrecht
University we are looking for a PhD candidate.
**
**Project
Societies undergo rapid changes in the relations between social groups, for
example due to migration, shifting gender roles, globalization, crises like
Covid-19, and social movements like #BLM. Heated societal debates suggest that
social changes are often perceived as threatening, leading to a host of
negative consequences like rigidity, polarization, and hostility towards the
source of the threat. This makes understanding how people cope with social
change one of the major challenges of our times. However, how people regulate
negative arousal stemming from societal change, and how this in turn shapes
opinions, is as yet poorly understood.
The current project aims to develop a psychophysiological threat-and-coping
model of social change. Linking social, psychological, and physiological
levels of analysis this novel model describes and explains the interplay
between lower-level physiological responses, and higher-level information
processing, to understand how people form opinions about social change. Moving
beyond maladaptive physiological arousal ( _threat_ ) the possibility will be
examined that change can also elicit more benign arousal ( _challenge_ ) and
link this to sensitivity to specific types of arguments (instrumental, moral,
identity) and rigidity versus open-mindedness in opinion formation.
In a series of psychophysiological experiments, partly making use of a mobile
lab (‘test-van’) to run psychophysiological experiments in the field,
hypotheses derived from the model will be tested.
In the current project the focus will be specifically on (dealing with) the
threat of change due to the implementation of corporate social responsibility
practices relating to sustainability and diversity within organizations. (A
related PhD project on coping with threats due to migration will be run
simultaneously at Leiden University.)
The insights gained will be used to inform policy-makers about ways to
approach and communicate social change in order to avoid overly rigid and
hostile responses.
The PhD-project will be supervised by Prof. Daan Scheepers, Prof. Naomi
Ellemers and Dr. Félice van Nunspeet.
The position includes the following activities:
* conducting literature reviews;
* designing, executing and coordinating data collection (psychophysiological experiments in both lab and field settings);
* initiating and maintaining contact with external parties;
* processing the collected data;
* analyzing and interpreting the data;
* written and oral reporting of the outcomes of the research;
* spending 10% of your time on additional activities (e.g., teaching, outreach). |

PhD position Design of autonomous transshipment concept for inter-terminal
barge operations |
To flatten the curve of climate change, urgent actions are needed. In 2019 the
European Commission (EC) launched the European Green Deal (EGD) strategy to
overcome climate change challenges. Complementary to this the Sustainable and
Smart Mobility Strategy was published in December 2020. Greening transport is
one of the key objectives of the EGD. Transport accounts for 25% of the EU’s
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The objective of the EGD is to reduce the GHG
emissions of transport by 90% by 2050. Waterborne transport accounts for
approximately 13% of EU’s transport GHG emissions, which equals to more than
3% of the total EU GHG emissions.
In this context, seaports will play a major role in boosting the use of
cleaner technologies, green energy carriers and logistics concepts in maritime
transport (sea), port operations (transhipment and storage) and hinterland
transport (road, rail, barge, and pipeline) to reduce GHG emissions. The Port
of Rotterdam, the largest seaport in Europe with many transport connections
for all modes of transport, is frontrunner in the energy transition and has
the vision to become a zero-emission port by 2050. Together with the Fellow
Ports HAROPA, Sines and DeltaPort (inland port), the Port of Rotterdam
supports the EGD sustainability goals. The intention is to perform a large
range of pilot projects as input for a Masterplan toward zero emissions in
2050 by 45 consortium partners working together in the MAGPIE project.
MAGPIE will create demonstration and pilot projects in the living laboratory
environment of the Port of Rotterdam, to advance technological, operational,
digital and organisational aspects of energy supply for use in ports and
reduce emissions.
This PhD project is focused on developing terminal approach and transshipment
concept that enables to instantly and autonomously load and unload small-scale
barge within a kiss and ride concept, incorporating seamless integration
possibilities with terminal operations (stack). The autonomous transshipment
equipment is interconnected with purpose-designed inter-terminal barges
operating at the ‘non-sea-side’ and autonomous trucks.
The design of autonomous transshipment infrastructure will be a new concept
design and not automating an existing one. The design will mainly focus on the
design of dedicated equipment for autonomous loading/unloading of the
autonomous barge, however it will take in consideration the interaction with
surrounding systems (the barge size, optimal position, orientation and
location, system for autonomous mooring/unmooring etc.), hereby contributing
to reaching port logistics sustainability goals. An integrated design of the
equipment for autonomous quick loading/unloading of container(s) will include
positioning, orientation as well as structural integrity, and will be
developed using advanced design tools including system dynamics analyses,
advanced analytical modeling, FEA modeling and multi-body simulations. The
integrated system design will include system design level for overall
functionality and a generative design for the individual equipment. The design
will consider system level from logistics point of view, equipment and cargo
level. The innovative concept is envisioned to include the structural design
of the equipment, as well as all interfaces, sensors, actuators and
controllers for autonomous loading/unloading.
The design will be validated using a model-scale demonstrator setup at TU
Delft lab facilities to showcase the innovative concept design for autonomous
transshipment. The transshipment system will be tested with the interaction of
the existing TU Delft fleet to show the potential for scaling up towards real-
size implementation in the Port of Rotterdam by collaborating with the
consortium partners. |

Trustworthy and insightful algorithms for industrial decision making |
Efficient algorithms for complex personnel scheduling problems are critical
for ensuring organisations can provide asuitably qualified workforce at
minimal cost while satisfying a wide variety of strict regulations
meetingoccupational health and safety requirements, as well as employee
preferences. This PhD project will focus on nurserostering, where nurses must
be optimally allocated to work shifts in a manner that ensures their
specialisedexpertise is available when required to support scheduled surgeries
and other activities, while satisfying rules aboutshift lengths, leave days,
and accommodating as much as possible their individual preferences.
The University of Melbourne has strong expertise in tackling related
scheduling problems, but will benefitenormously from the specific expertise of
the KU Leuven team developed over several decades in advancingmodels and
algorithms for the nurse rostering problem. The partnership will enable new
collaborative links withMelbourne based hospitals to be forged to support this
PhD project, via the new ARC Training Centre inOptimisation Technologies,
Integrated Methodologies and Applications (OPTIMA), in which the PhD student
will bebased. The KU Leuven team will also benefit from application of the
University of Melbourne’s Instance SpaceAnalysis methodology to gain deep
insights into the strengths and weaknesses of nurse rostering algorithms,
andensure that the project’s newly developed algorithmic advances are
rigorously “stress tested” to understand theirrobustness and reliability for a
wide range of hospital settings in both Australia and Belgium. |

Joint PhD position between Ecole Centrale Marseille (ECM), France, and
University of Edinburgh, UK |
**Joint PhD** between Ecole Centrale Marseille (ECM), France, and University
of Edinburgh, UK
Title: Hybrid RF/optical links for airborne-underwater data communication
Supervisors: Dr. Ali Khalighi (ECM) and Dr. Majid Safari (University of
Edinburgh)
**Duration** : 3 years
Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to develop very high-speed data
transmission solutions to allow the establishment of robust communication
links between underwater vehicles and an aerial platform. The connection is
established between the underwater vehicle and the sea surface, and then
relayed by a link between the surface and the aerial platform. The major
challenge is to design a system that can adapt the transmission parameters and
optimize them in real time to ensure a reliable connection in a highly dynamic
and variable environment. Also, solutions for enhancing the data transmission
security will be proposed for the considered application scenarios. The
performance and the reliability of the communication will be investigated both
for the uplink (water-to-air) and the downlink (air-to-water).
This project will receive support from a European collaboration network, the
H2020 COST Action CA19111. Also, it will benefit from regular exchanges with
local industries and research centers.
**Keywords** : Optical communications, wireless data transmission, optical
wireless, underwater communications, signal processing.

A Postdoc Position in Machine Learning, Focusing on Applications in Renewable
Energy Systems, Technion- Israel Institute of Technology |
**The research groups of Shie Mannor, Yoash Levron and Kfir Levy from the
Faculty of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Technion—Israel Institute of
Technology, offer a postdoctoral position in the field of machine learning,
focusing on applications in power systems and renewable energy systems.**
Machine learning classifiers often provide “black box” solutions, since it is
not always known why or how a classifier reached a certain decision. For this
reason, in sensitive applications, such as those related to the energy
industry, experts may find it hard to trust the recommendations made by
machine learning based algorithms, which severely limits their usefulness. Due
to this challenge, in the last couple of years new techniques and principles
are being developed to improve the explainability of machine learning models.
This field of research is known in the literature as Explainable Artificial
Intelligence (XAI). The objective of the proposed project is to investigate
possible applications of XAI in power systems and renewable energy systems.
We expect candidates to have
* a PhD in engineering, mathematics or computer science,
* a strong background in machine learning,
* good programming skills.
To apply, please send an Email to Yoash Levron:
[yoashl@ee.technion.ac.il](mailto:yoashl@ee.technion.ac.il)
The following supporting documents are required:
* A Curriculum vitae that includes a list of publications.
* A short letter describing the candidate’s previous research and future plans
* Links to implemented projects. |

Two Ph.D. Positions in Materials Chemistry |
**Materials That Differentiate and Communicate Autonomously**
During biological development, an organism develops from a single, uniform
cell to a complex, highly ordered, multicellular body with segregated
functions (tissues, organs, extremities), with astonishing autonomy and
reliability. The Lerch Research Group
([www.lerchlab.com](http://www.lerchlab.com)) aims to implement the underlying
design rules of these biological processes into synthetic materials based on
chemical reactions. In particular, we are interested in chemical communication
between different parts of a material that could enable developmental
processes such as differentiation (specialization) and morphogenesis
(coordinated change of shape). In the two Ph.D. projects, we aim to design
reaction cascades for communication between different parts of a material such
as a gel, with the goal of creating materials that can autonomously self-
organize and coordinate tasks across different locations.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow (3 years) |
### UiB - Knowledge that shapes society
Through robust and close interaction with the world around us - globally,
nationally and locally - we shall be instrumental in building a society based
on knowledge, skills and attitudes.
Do you want to take part in shaping the future?
## Postdoctoral Research Fellow
At the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Global Public Health and Primary
Care, a full-time (100 %) position as Postdoctoral Research Fellow is
available for a period of three (3) years. The position is part of the project
”TIMESPAN - Management of chronic cardiometabolic disease and treatment
discontinuity in adult ADHD patients”, financed by the EU under the Horizon
2020.
## About the project/work tasks:
Emerging evidence points at substantial comorbidity and shared genetics
between adult ADHD and cardiometabolic diseases (i.e., obesity, type-2
diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD)). Inadequate treatment of
cardiometabolic disease is strongly associated with premature death and
substantial societal costs. National guidelines of cardiometabolic disease
have stressed the importance of co-occurring psychiatric disorders. However,
even though ADHD is a common (prevalence ≈2 to 5% in adults) and serious
complex chronic condition, knowledge about appropriate management of adults
with ADHD and co-occurring cardiometabolic disease is lacking. TIMESPAN will
address this objective using existing large-scale cohort studies and linked
registry data from many countries.
The candidate will be using a large dataset with linked data from the Medical
Birth Registry of Norway, the Norwegian Prescription Database, the Norwegian
Patient Registry and other national databases. There will be close
collaboration between countries/sites, and a common protocol will be applied
for harmonization across sites.
The main objectives are to
* identify long-term ADHD medication trajectories across different health systems and countries
* identify clinical and socio-demographic modifiers of ADHD treatment discontinuity and non-adherence across different health care systems and countries, focusing sociodemographic factors, type of care (e.g primary care, specialist care) and co-occurring chronic obesity, CVD and T2DM
* investigate the consequences of ADHD on the management and prognosis of cardiometabolic diseases in adults, and the impact of ADHD medication and combined pharmacotherapy on this relation
## Qualifications and personal qualities:
* the applicant must hold a Norwegian PhD or an equivalent degree within epidemiology, preferably pharmacoepidemiology or psychiatric epidemiology, or statistics or have the doctoral thesis submitted prior to the application deadline.

Title
Art and Chemistry: A Transdisciplinary Characterization in the Study of Gilda
Neuberguer's Fresco and False Fresco Art Works (1911-2011)
Desciption
Gilda Gelmini Neuberguer (1911-2011) was one of the pioneers of fresco art in
Brazil in the early 20th century, having been a disciple of Candido Portinari.
With a career spanning over 60 years, GN has experimented the fresco technique
on various types of support as well as the false fresco technique, which is
still controversial among the artistic community. This transdisciplinary
project intends to study, for the first time, a set of 6 works carried out in
the 60s and 90s using conventional and advanced imaging and microanalysis
techniques. The aim of this work is to get to know the artist's modus operandi
in the different techniques, the materials used and its current state of
conservation. The results will gain recognition and repositioning of NG works
in the context of Modern and Contemporary Art at national and international
level, and will serve as guidelines for future conservation and restoration
actions.

Title
Synthesis of new fluorescent water soluble amine reactive reagents for
biomolecules labeling: application to cultural heritage
Desciption
Cultural heritage assets are being continuously submitted to physical,
chemical and biological degradation. Among all forms, biodegradation is the
major factor for their deterioration, with microorganisms being of critical
importance due to their metabolism and proliferation.
In this context, it is frequently necessary identify and locate individual
microorganisms and detect small amounts of biomolecules, as proteins, to know,
evaluate and understand the biodeterioration processes for the most
appropriate restoration procedures or conservation conditions.
Labeling is one of the most common methodologies used for bioanalytical
purposes, and the detection based on fluorescence techniques has received a
growing attention in both fluorescence instrumentation and preparation of new
fluorophores.
The PhD project aims to develop new inexpensive fluorescent water-soluble
coumarin derivatives for labeling biomolecules present in cultural heritage
and improving new methodologies for biodegradation diagnosis, and thus to
contribute to the establishment of preventive approaches and effective
remediation in Cultural Heritage field.

Regarding sub-criterion A1 and if the candidate has a bachelor's and master's
degree, the simple average of the marks obtained in the two degrees will be
calculated; if the candidate has an integrated master degree, the final
classification of the integrated master will be considered; if one of the
certificates only specifies a qualitative classification (for example, pre-
Bologna masters), it will be converted in the terms expressed in Table 2 of
the Notice of the Call PhD Studentships -2021 (FCT).
If the candidate does not have a master's degree, the value of zero will be
considered as the master's grade in the calculation of the simple average of
the grades obtained.
For the purposes of the grant decision, applicants will be ranked according to
the weighted average of the classification obtained in each of the 2 criteria,
translated by the following formula:
Final Classification = (0.8 ×A) + ( 0.2×B)
For tie-breaking purposes, candidates will be ranked on the basis of the marks
awarded for each of the evaluation criteria in the following order of
precedence: sub-criteria A3, criterion B, sub-criterion A1.
Important notice for applicants with diplomas issued by foreign higher
education institutions:
Applicants with diplomas issued by foreign higher education institutions may
apply and will be evaluated with the same criteria as applicants with diplomas
issued by portuguese institutions, provided that they present, in the
application, proof of the recognition of the academic degrees and the
conversion of the final classification to the portuguese grading scale under
the terms of the applicable legislation.

Postdoctoral researcher in computational molecular biophysics/chemistry |
The Departament of Physical Chemistry at Gdansk University of Technology is
seeking to recruit a postdoctoral researcher to work within the group of Dr.
Jacek Czub on the mechanochemical coupling in the ATP synthase using molecular
simulations, starting in October 2021 (at the earliest) with a salary of 9000
zł/month, pretax.
ATP synthase is—to use a phrase due to Boyer—“a splendid molecular machine”
that plays a central role in cellular bioenergetics, but due to its complex
structure and multiple inhibition mechanisms has also recently emerged as an
attractive target for the development of novel therapeutics. The goal of the
current project is to advance our understanding of the mechanism of action of
ATP synthase, with a special emphasis on the possibility of selective
inhibition of the microbial forms of the enzyme with small molecules. In
particular, the successful candidate will use state-of-the-art multiscale
molecular simulations to examine the energy conversion mechanism in ATP
synthase and to identify differences in this mechanism between the protein
homologues that could allow for selective inhibition. |

PhD vacancy: Flow and reactive transport of fine particles. Application to the
injectivity of geothermal reservoirs |
The position is located in Orléans, France. It involves a partnership between
the Earth Sciences Institute of Orléans (ISTO), and the French Geological
Survey (BRGM).
ISTO is a joint research laboratory between CNRS, University of Orléans and
BRGM located on the Geosciences campus of Orléans close to Paris, France. The
Porous Media Research Group is developing cutting-edge research and worldwide
recognized expertise on pore-scale modelling and microfluidic experiments of
multiphase flow and reactive transport in complex geological formations.
BRGM is France's public reference institution in Earth Science applications
for the management of surface and subsurface resources and risks.
The PhD candidate will join a network of leading-edge national research
institutions including CNRS, BRGM, Sorbonne University, University of Bordeaux
and Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour, and international collaborations
including Heriot-Watt University, Julich Forschungszentrum, Lawrence Berkeley
National Laboratory, Princeton University, and Stanford University.
Geothermal energy relies on the extraction of hot fluids that are re-injected
after heat extraction in the reservoir. During the production and injection of
fluids, however, fine particles (clay or silicate) can detach and clog the
pores near the well. The consequence of pore-clogging by particle aggregation,
biofilm growth, or mineral precipitation is a permeability reduction leading
to a drastic decrease of the wellbore productivity and injectivity. This
reduces the geothermal exploitation lifespan, and sometimes seals the well up
to its premature abandonment.
The research proposed in this PhD program concerns the numerical modeling and
experimental measurement of pore-clogging mechanisms using a multi-scale
approach based on a cascade of scales nested within each other. First,
investigations of the coupled hydro-electro-chemical effects in an individual
pore will improve the understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Then,
upscaling to larger scales will be obtained by studying pore-clogging effects
in a network of pores.
The scientific method involves both numerical and experimental developments.
Computational microfluidics (including CFD-DEM Computational Fluid Dynamics –
Discrete Element Methods and micro-continuum) combined with our leading-edge
microfluidic platform will be used to investigate the transport, aggregation
and attachment of solid particles at the pore-scale. New models will be
implemented in the in-house simulation code to simulate the pore-clogging
mechanisms at different scales. Key parameters (flow rate, temperature, water
composition, etc.) controlling pore-clogging and the complex feedback between
hydro-electro-chemical processes will be identified numerically and
experimentally. In that regard, ISTO microfluidic platform for geosciences
(also referred to as Geological-Lab-on-Chip) will bring high-fidelity data to
confront the models. |

Post-doctoral scientist (M/F) on Molecular basis of the local and long
distance signaling induced by local water deficit in maize roots |
The aim of the post-doctoral researcher will be to identify the hormonal and
molecular components (genes, ncRNAs, peptides, hormones…) involved in local
and systemic signaling in response to a locally applied water deficit. Based
on a unique split root system already settled in the team, sap and root
tissues will be sampled for metabolomics and transcriptomic analysis. A
central computational approach will be to build regulatory gene networks to
identify master regulators involved in local or systemic responses. The
candidate genes will be characterized using functional genomics and molecular
physiology in both maize and Arabidopsis.
The position is open to work in the frame of an ERC advanced project named
“HyArchi: Targeting Root Hydraulic Architecture to Improve Crops under Drought
“. Research will be carried out under the supervision of Dr Philippe Nacry, in
the group of Dr Christophe Maurel in the Biochemistry and Plant Molecular
Physiology department (INRAE/CNRS/SupAgro, Montpellier, France).
The HyArchi project focuses on maize roots under water stress with the
ultimate goal of optimizing water uptake. It explores novel aspects of their
plasticity and provides a multidimensional understanding of their water
transport function, by considering the integration of hydraulic, growth and
signaling processes within root architecture.
This institute and the host group have world-wide recognized records in
transport and stress physiology ()
and in functional characterization of root system (Shahzad Z et al., 2016,

Environment
The thesis will take place mainly at the PROMES Laboratory (Perpignan) and
will include a few periods of work at the LISN Laboratory (Saclay).
Context
The context of the thesis is the development of next-generation solar power
plants. We focus on the key component of the power plants: the high
temperature and high flow solar receiver. One of the possibilities is to use a
pressurized gas mixture within the solar receiver as a transfer fluid. Mastery
of strongly anisothermal turbulent flows is then a scientific bottleneck for
the development of these solar power plants. Indeed, the couplings between
turbulence and temperature make the physics particularly complex. This thesis
aims to improve understanding and modeling of these couplings.
Goals
The objectives of this thesis project are the following (they are presented in
chronological order):
1\. Realization of direct numerical simulations of strongly anisothermal
turbulent flows
2\. Development of Large Eddy Simulation models using machine learning tools
(deep learning)
Method
In direct numerical simulation (DNS), taking into account of the speed /
temperature coupling and the resolution of all the turbulent scales require
extremely fine meshes. These simulations are therefore limited to cases of
academic calculations with modest domain sizes and simple geometries. To make
simulations that better approach applications, it is essential to reduce the
cost of DNS by introducing subgrid models.
To the best of our knowledge, there is very few models for the subgrid terms
of highly anisothermal flows (Dupuy et al., 2019, David et al. 2021).
Therefore, modeling work consists in adapting existing models for Reynolds
tensor and develop new models for specific terms. For these, we propose to
adapt the structural models that use deconvolution methods such as the
gradient model or the scale similarity model.
To develop a Large Eddy Simulation model for strongly anisothermal flows, the
PhD student will realize an extended database of DNS. From this database,
machine learning techniques (deep learning) will be used to determine a
mathematical model describing the effect of small scales (not resolved) on the
larger ones. More specifically, different architectures of neural networks
(conclusive networks, graphs, etc.) and objective functions will be evaluated
to infer the best possible model. Particular attention will be paid to the
robustness of the learned model concerning the mesh resolution and the flow
regime. The developed models will have to accurately calculate fluid / wall
heat exchange. |

PhD student (M / F) on the development of a quantum nanomechanical
optical/microwave converter |
The thesis will take place within the "Optomechanics and Quantum Measurements"
team of the Kastler Brossel laboratory and will involve several stays of a few
weeks at the University of Arizona.
Quantum networks and quantum information processing are based on our ability
to combine two technological challenges: on the one hand, to achieve efficient
quantum gates, by coupling individual quantum systems, very well isolated from
their environment, and on the other hand, to be able to transfer bits of
quantum information over large distances. Despite their immense difficulty,
these challenges are on the verge of being overcome: superconducting quantum
circuits enable fast and efficient quantum gates and are one of the most
serious candidates for the development of a quantum computer. Optical photons,
on the other hand, can travel tens of kilometers in optical fibers at room
temperature, and are therefore the system of choice for the transport of
quantum information. Bridging the gap between these technologies, i.e.
achieving a coherent transfer of quantum information between a superconducting
circuit located in a cryogenic environment and a propagating optical field,
appears to be a central challenge in the field of quantum information.
This project aims to achieve such a quantum link by coupling a nanomechanical
resonator simultaneously to a superconducting circuit and to an optical
cavity. The quantum fluctuations of the circuit will thus exert a force on the
resonator and set it in motion, while the mechanical displacement will be
precisely transduced into optical fluctuations by interferometry. The
mechanical resonator, a suspended nitride membrane currently being developed
at the Kastler Brossel laboratory, has a lifetime of over one minute at
cryogenic temperature, and can therefore also be used as a very long-lived
quantum memory.
This project is being carried out in collaboration with the University of
Arizona which will deal with the integration of the mechanical resonator with
the optical cavity. The LKB will study various coupling mechanisms of the
mechanical resonator to a superconducting qubit during this thesis. |

H/F 3-year postdoc position - Work on transcribed and annotated corpora |
The postdoctoral researcher will join the ANR-DFG “Ergativity and Information
Structure: Comparing Chibchan languages” research team. S/he will also be
encouraged to participate in activities organized by the CNRS laboratory
“Stucture and Dynamics of Languages” (SeDyL), such as meetings, seminars, and
workshops related to the research axis “From Description to Typology”.
The position is part of the project “Ergativity and Information Structure:
Comparing Chibchan languages”, funded by ANR-DFG, headed by Claudine Chamoreau
(SeDyL, CNRS), Stavros Skopeteas (University of Göttingen) and Elisabeth
Verhoeven (Humboldt University Berlin). The project aims at developing an
improved understanding of two layers of clause structure: alignment and
information structure as well as the interaction between these layers. It will
provide annotated corpora and empirical studies on Chibchan, a language family
from Central America that is underrepresented in linguistic research because
it has been understudied. The methodological approach combines exploratory
research based on corpora and confirmatory research through field experiments.
This combined approach will provide insights into the different types of field
data and will yield a sustainable resource for future study of the Chibchan
languages. The research goals include (i) a detailed structural investigation
of the syntactic and semantic properties of ergativity; (ii) a study on
information structure focusing on the role of microvariation in word order
possibilities; and (iii) a precise examination of the role of information
structure in the syntax of languages with optional ergative marking.
The main tasks of the postdoctoral researcher will be to 1) compile from
existing sources the database of collected corpora; 2) carry out annotations
on the corpora; 3) carry out the comparison of the corpora of the different
languages; 4) develop experimental methods for the topics studied; 5) present
papers at conferences and publish research results in collaboration with other
project members. Other research tasks may emerge during the course of the
project and work may also be proposed by the postdoctoral researcher. The work
will be carried out in collaboration with the project researchers.
The workplace will be at the CNRS laboratory SeDyL located at the Paris-
Villejuif CNRS Campus, France

PhD candidates to research societal impact of AI |
Whether it's grocery shopping or dating, managing our work life, finding out
about (possible) future diseases, or streaming a show on Netflix; artificial
intelligence (AI) is changing our daily life.
What is the next step for AI? The interdisciplinary Erasmus Initiative
'[Societal Impact of AI](https://www.eur.nl/en/research/erasmus-
initiatives/societal-impact-ai)' aims for innovative research and education in
AI that places society centre stage. Together with key stakeholders we will
set the expectations for the use of AI that benefits society, bringing AI
closer to the people. We focus on ensuring human augmentation with AI - AI
that works in a manner consistent with the expectations of individual citizens
and society.
To do so, we set the rules of engagement for the application of AI in key
domains of our society, including work, media, health, and (urban) art. As a
team, we address hot topics such as urban AI, deep fake, medical decision
making, and digital placemaking and street art. We embrace a multidisciplinary
and multimethod approach, including data science, citizen science, and living
labs. We also create new opportunities for citizens, students, scholars and
organisations to unlock their full potential with AI as co-worker and trusted
advisor.
**Your main tasks**
As a PhD candidate, you will get the unique opportunity to help shape the
Initiative with your research plan. Closely collaborating with your fellow
PhDs and mentored by top scholars from various disciplines, you are encouraged
and supported to conduct your PhD project. The position starts in January
2022.
Ever thought of the implications of AI in your daily life and wondered where
AI would or could take society next? Do you have a strong intrinsic drive to
figure out what these developments mean for society and are you ready for the
next big step-obtain a PhD? Are you excited and interested to become team
member and put your knowledge and aspirations to work? Then please write a
short research proposal describing how you will investigate the societal
impact of AI in your PhD project. We are very curious to find out about you,
and your thoughts about which study design and analyses you would use for your
project. The proposal will not only demonstrate your current research
competencies, but also your ideas and aspirations for the project. |

Postdoctoral Researcher: Complexity Science-Based Adaptive Pandemic Management
Project |
During the COVID-19 crisis, pandemic management proved highly complex because
of strongly interacting centralised and decentralised decision making in
combination with having multiple incommensurate goals (physical health, mental
health, economy, etc.). This unavoidably resulted in uncertainty about health
care effects and lowering societal resilience. In this NWO funded project we
will apply complexity science methods to create an improved, more resilient
management strategy in four directly linked work packages (WP):
WP I. data-driven multi-domain resilience operationalisation;
WP II. group model building;
WP III. computational modelling;
WP IV. ‘flight simulator’-based scenario workshops on adaptive decision
making.
Having policy makers participate in group model building and pandemic
simulations should result in proof-of-principle testing of adaptive pandemic
management to improve handling uncertain and multi-domain effects. For each of
the four work packages we offer a two-year postdoctoral researcher position.
The project is supervised by a highly interdisciplinary study group with
scientists from complexity science, medical microbiology, management and
computational science.
Are you as intrigued as we are by this opportunity to study and improve
societal resilience and overall management in future pandemics and in the
interdisciplinary application of modern methods of epidemiology, management
science and computational modelling, and in bridging the gap between science
and centralised/decentralised policy making? Are you interested in research on
the interacting societal domains of health care, finances and education,
characterised by their complexity, uncertainty and interactions between
decentralised and centralised decision making? As the future of medicine and
society is determined by complex, interdisciplinary problems, we offer you the
challenge to work at the forefront of relevant research using complexity
science methods suitable to undertake these challenges.
Tasks of the postdoctoral researcher in WP II:
* Conducting group model building sessions, i.e. co-developing causal loop diagrams (CLDs) in collaboration with stakeholders and experts.
* Quantification of interactions and parameters in annotated CLDs and linked models. |

Toronto-Melbourne Joint PhD in Multi-drug resistant pathogen. |
One funded project is available on _Defining the zinc homeostasis mechanisms
of Klebsiella pneumoniae and their role in host-pathogen interaction_ as part
of a joint PhD collaboration between The University of Melbourne (UoM) and The
University of Toronto (Canada). GRs participating in the joint program will be
enrolled at both institutions and will spend a minimum of 18 months at the
host institution. Funding includes a full scholarship, health insurance and
mobility support.
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a globally significant multi-drug resistant pathogen.
Our recent studies investigating the chemical biology of this bacterium have
identified numerous uncharacterised pathways involved in the acquisition of
the essential metal zinc from the host.
This project will provide the first descriptions of these pathways and how
they contribute to the growth, virulence and antibiotic resistance of K.
pneumoniae. The outcomes of this study will provide information essential to
exploiting nutrient dependency in breaking multi-drug resistance in K.
pneumoniae and other Gram-negative bacteria. |

Doctoral Researcher (f/m/d – 75%) Project B9 “Dynamical low-rank approximation
for the simulation of radiation heat waves” |
The Collaborative Research Center “Wave phenomena – analysis and numerics”
(CRC 1173), is currently seeking to recruit, as soon as possible, limited to
three years, a
**Doctoral Researcher (f/m/d – 75%)**
**Project B9 “Dynamical low-rank approximation for the simulation of radiation
heat waves”**
The CRC has been funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since 2015.
Its goal is to analytically understand, numerically simulate, and eventually
manipulate wave propagation under realistic scenarios by intertwining analysis
and numerics.
The Project B9 “Dynamical low-rank approximation for the simulation of
radiation heat waves” () aims at applying,
adapting, and implementing the dynamical low-rank method for the simulation of
radiation heat waves. We combine the dynamical low-rank method with a high-
order Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretization in space, and either a
spectral or collocation method in angle. The ansatz functions are tensorized
so that one can interpret the semi-discretization in space, angle, and
frequency as a tensor-valued ordinary differential equation in time. The
dynamical low-rank approximation is a low-rank factorization updating
technique. It leads to differential equations for factors in a decomposition
of the solution, which need to be solved numerically. The dynamical low-rank
method seems particularly suitable for our purposes, because in many relevant
test cases the propagation of radiation heat waves can be described by an
asymptotic limit equation. Thus, the effective dynamics takes place on a
lower-dimensional manifold. In this way, the six-dimensional (3 space, 2
angle, 1 frequency) radiation transport problem is reduced, both in
computational cost as well as in memory footprint.
We seek a doctoral researcher with strong interest in numerical mathematics
and high-performance computing. You will develop modifications of the
dynamical low-rank method to enforce the numerical scheme's conservation of
the overall energy and mass of particles, and to make the scheme asymptotic-
preserving. A special focus will be on the investigation of parallelization
strategies so that we obtain an efficient high-performance computing (HPC)
implementation. Together with application scientists you perform simulations
of radiation heat waves in realistic application test cases and especially
investigate the memory use of the new method. You will have the opportunity to
attend conferences, workshops and summer schools. Engagement in teaching is
encouraged. |

Postdoctoral Researcher Scalable transfer of engineered thin layers |
The transfer of thin layers (2D materials, III/V, topological insulators...)
is a very appealing technology as it has the promise to integrate new
materials in CMOS manufacturing that are otherwise difficult to access due to
incompatible substrates (e.g., sapphire, GaAs...), high temperature processing
or even the need for a metal catalyst (e.g., graphene on Cu).
To enable thin layer transfers, it is essential to find pathways to overcome
adhesion between the deposited material and the substrate, without negatively
impacting the layer. This might be possible by using sacrificial layers (e.g.,
laser or epitaxial lift-off layers), intercalation effects, strain
engineering... The next challenge is to control the interaction between the
transferred layer and the target/device wafer to achieve the desired
properties of the transferred layer (high mobility, specific bandgap...).
Therefor, it will be critical to precisely control the surroundings of the
transferred layer to achieve a uniform bond interface which should enable a
controlled doping and strain level in the material.
MX2 materials are currently considered as the channel material for next
generation transistor devices. A possible integration route includes the
transfer of the 2D material from its growth substrate (i.e., sapphire) to a
device wafer. It is of prime importance to determine the defectivity level in
this 2D material before, during and after the transfer process and to tune its
interface properties to maintain or even enable high mobility 2D layers. Low-
temperature photoluminescence (LT-PL) could be a valuable tool to monitor and
optimize the transfer procedure, as it has the promise to assess not only
defectivity, but also strain, doping and its dielectric environment.
**What you will do**
The transfer of WS2 and MoS2 is implemented at Imec with a glass carrier
wafer, a laser release layer, and a polymer support. A critical bottleneck
remains the defectivity assessment during the different steps of the transfer
procedure (i.e., delamination, bonding, carrier removal and cleaning steps).
LT-PL (possibly with time-resolved capabilities) might be a good metrology for
defectivity analysis of MX2 layers. The measured defectivity values will
depend on the surroundings of the 2D material, and fundamental understanding
is needed to enable the use of this technique for 2D material transfer quality
assessment. It will be critical to evaluate PL as a defectivity technique and
validate the obtained results with other characterization techniques. |

Postdoctoral Position in Computational Biology and Digestive Disease
Immunology |
The **Martin’s lab** is seeking a talented **computational scientist** for a
**postdoctoral fellowship** to study the **cellular and molecular
heterogeneity and functions of mononuclear phagocytes** in **human digestive
diseases** using high dimensional **single-cell technologies**.

[Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=6batTGAAAAAJ&hl=en)
[Researchgate](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jerome-Martin-8)
**General context**
The objective of the Martin’s lab is to harness the power offered by new
single-cell technologies to deconvolute the role and regulation of mononuclear
phagocytes in pathogenic responses driving tissue lesions in patients affected
by digestive diseases. Our ultimate goal is to enhance the rational for future
drug and biomarker discovery. In particular the clinical benefit of targeted
immunotherapy in IBD and gastric cancer has remained limited to a subset of
patients and the use of standard of care imaging and/or histological
diagnostic assays has failed to confidently stratify potential responders from
non-responders. Accordingly, none of the targeted immunotherapy approved to
treat patients are provided with decision algorithms to maximize therapeutic
responses. Besides, the poor understanding of disease pathophysiology
significantly limits the identification of relevant targets. There is
therefore an urgent need to gain a better understanding of the cellular
programs in normal and lesional human digestive tissues.
**Project**
The applicant will be involved in leading the computational analysis in two
funded projects aiming at characterizing MNP molecular programs and cellular
interactions in tissues from patients with ileum Crohn’s disease, or with
gastric precancerous and cancerous lesions. Using state-of-the art machine-
learning and exploratory data analysis tools, the study will dissect single-
cell RNA sequencing, single-cell ATACseq and spatial transcriptomics datasets.
It will combine profiling microenvironments in healthy and diseased tissues
with analysis of Electronic Medical Records. Both projects involve close
interactions with Gastrointestinal clinicians, pathologists and gut
immunologist in Nantes (bi-monthly meetings in the context of the Nantes IBD-
NeXT cluster for instance ().
In **Crohn’s disease** our main objective is to characterize how pathogenic
MNP populations drive resistance to current targeted therapies and contribute
to stenotic complications through their interactions with stromal cells. This
project is in direct follow-up of our previous study, which described the MNP-
organized GIMATS response in patients resisting anti-TNF antibodies ([ _Martin
JC, Cell, 2019_](https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674\(19\)30896-7)).
This project is f **unded by ANR and NExT.**
In **gastric cancer** , our main objective is to understand how the MNP
molecular landscape is progressively shaped to promote tumor growth along the
stepwise progression of precancerous lesions to tumor. This is a new project
**funded by ARC** , which benefits from a unique cohort of patients built at
CHU de Nantes.

\- Gaelle Beriou, PhD - permanent research engineer
\- Lucas Bruselle: research technician

a) Be explicit as to how to proceed with the evaluation of the candidates'
scientific and curricular path;
b) Not to adopt merely quantitative procedures, based on indicators, counting
publications, or calculating their cumulative impact factors;
c) Assume that the content of the scientific production is more relevant than
the publication metrics or the entity that published it;
d) Consider the intrinsic quality of the scientific content of the activity,
selected by the candidate, which must be the object of appreciation by the
jury;
e) Consider disciplinary specificity.
UP Regulation:
The mandatory selection method is the evaluation of the scientific and
curricular path.
. The use of selection methods is phased, as follows:
a) Application of the second method, interview or presentation session or
public demonstration, to all or part of the candidates approved in the
previous method, as defined in the opening notice.
. Valuation of selection methods
1 – Each member of the jury evaluates the candidates' scientific and
curricular trajectory on a scale from 0 to 100 points, with valuation up to
the hundredths, with the classification obtained through the weighting defined
in the criteria to be evaluated.
2 – The evaluation of the second selection method (Interview) is expressed on
a scale from 0 to 100 points, with valuation up to the hundredths.
. Assessment of the scientific and curricular path obligatorily and optional
interview with a maximum weighting of 10%.
Thus, the Assessment of the Scientific and Curriculum Pathway (APCC) will
focus on:
a) Scientific and cultural production in the contest areas = 0.5
b) Applied research activities in the area of Risk & Disaster Study =0.3
c) Extension and dissemination activities of the knowledge developed, namely
in the context of promoting culture and scientific practices, considered of
greatest relevance by the candidate = 0.2

Researcher in Petrology of Fluid-Rock Interactions (M/F) |
The Institute and the recruiting departement
A pioneer in ocean science, IFREMER’s cutting-edge research is grounded in
sustainable development and open science. Our vision is to advance science,
expertise and innovation to:
\- Protect and restore the ocean
\- Sustainably use marine resources to benefit society
\- Create and share ocean data, information & knowledge.
With more than 1,500 personnel spread along the French coastline in more than
20 sites, the Institute explores the 3 great oceans: the Indian, Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. A leader in ocean science, IFREMER is managing the French
Oceanographic Fleet and its dedicated scientists create ground-breaking
technology to push the boundaries of ocean exploration and knowledge, from the
abyss to the atmosphere-ocean interface.
Well-established in the international scientific community, our scientists,
engineers and technicians are committed to advance knowledge about our
planet’s last unexplored frontiers. They provide the science we need for
informed decision-making and public policy and they transfer this knowledge
and technology to businesses to fulfill public and private needs. Core to our
mission is also to strengthen public awareness about the importance of
understanding the ocean and its resources, and empowering future generations
of leaders through education and outreach national campaigns.
Founded in 1984, IFREMER is a French public organization and its budget
approximates 240 million euros. It is operating under the joint authority of
the French Ministry for Higher Education, Research and Innovation, the French
Ministry for the Ecological and Solidary Transition, and the French Ministry
of Agriculture and Food.
General areas of responsibility
The Laboratory of Geochemical Cycles and resources conducts leading research
on the processes of the genesis, transport and transformation of chemical
species in varied geological ocean systems extending from continental margin
cold seep zones through back-arc basins and abyssal plains to the hydrothermal
systems of oceanic ridges. The research activities are centered around the
formation of resources, geological hazards and impact studies.
To strengthen its expertise in the study of activities related to
hydrothermalism and the formation of marine mineral resources (REMIMA), the
laboratory is looking to recruit a petrologist, specialized in fluid/rock
interactions.
This position will be fully integrated into the future CYBER team (axis 1:
metallogenic processes and hydrothermalism and axis 3: biogeochemical cycles
of the primitive oceans) within the imminent creation of the UMR (Joint
Research Unit) Geo-Ocean (GM, LGO).
The successful candidate will be involved in projects related to the study of
deep-sea hydrothermal processes and interactions and their impacts on ocean
biogeochemistry and marine mineral resources formation (REMIMA).
He/she will be particularly interested in deep (e.g. mantle-oceanic crust
transition, reaction zone) and subsurface (e.g. stockwork) processes
associated with fluid/magma/rock interactions (e.g. high-temperature
alteration, serpentinization).
He/she will focus on
(1) the evolution of metal concentration during petrogenetic processes (e.g.
partial melting, fractional crystallization, assimilation, hybridization)
and/or during fluid/magma/peridotite interactions at the mantle-crust
transition;
(2) the mobilization and transport of these elements by hydrothermal fluids
(study of alteration) up to the discharge zone; (
3) the impact of hydrothermal fluid circulation on the geochemical and
petrophysical properties of the rocks. He/she will be particularly interested
in the roles of primary and secondary mineral phases (e.g. silicates, oxides,
sulfides) in the trapping/releasing of metals at different structural levels
and as tracers of fluid-rock interaction conditions.
He/she will contribute his/her skills to the exploration of ocean
biogeochemistry and marine mineral resources formation in contrasting
geodynamic contexts (slow and ultra-slow ridges, arcs and back-arc basins).
He/she will be a driving force in the development of national and
international offshore missions.
He/she will be fully involved in the acquisition and exploitation of
geological, geophysical, geochemical and mineralogical data obtained at sea
and in the laboratory.
He/she will work in close collaboration with those researchers, engineers and
technicians of the Marine Geoscience unit specialized in hydrothermalism.
Main missions:
* Through his/her research on oceanic hydrothermalism and deep processes controlling the alteration of volcanic and mantle rocks, he/she contributes to the excellence of the laboratory on the study of ocean/lithosphere interactions.
* He/she actively participates in the activities related to the management of the "Sulfides" exploration licence signed in 2014 between the ISA and Ifremer, reinforcing Ifremer's expertise on submarine mineral resources with the French State.
* He/she will rely foremostly on geological and geochemical methods and tools available at the Marine Geoscience Research Unit and within the new UMR Geo Ocean (e.g. electron microprobe, LA-ICP-MS, MC-ICP-MS).
* He/she will develop innovative approaches to study rocks in the laboratory and at sea.
Main duties:
* He/she actively contributes to the study of hydrothermal processes and interactions in the deep sea and is involved in projects related to oceanic metallogeny and fluid-rock-microorganism interactions.
* He/she participates and/or leads exploration expeditions conducted by the laboratory as part of fundamental research projects, support to public authorities and industrial collaborations.
* He/she has the capacity to supervise students at all levels and post-docs, to produce scientific publications and to respond to calls for projects.
* He/she contributes to the development of innovation within the unit by taking an interest in the potential industrial transfers and the economic development of its activities, in particular via Ifremer's internal tools (e.g. Institut Carnot MERS).
Collaboration :
* Within Ifremer: REM Department Research Units; GM, EEP and RDT laboratories and services and the future Geo Ocean Joint Research Unit.
* Externally: National and international collaborations (universities, research institutes, etc.); Industrial collaborations. |

Postdoctoral Fellow |
The group of [Arnaud Krebs (EMBL
Heidelberg)](https://www.embl.de/research/units/genome_biology/krebs/index.html)
is looking for a post-doctoral candidate to develop a DFG funded project
aiming at understanding the molecular mechanisms used by transcription factors
at enhancers to activate transcription in the context of development.
The Krebs group at EMBL studies fundamental mechanisms regulating gene
expression. Our main goal is to understand how regulatory genetic information
is interpreted by transcription factors. We study the contribution of
cooperativity mechanisms ([Sönmezer C, _et al_ , Mol Cell
2021](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1097276520307930)),
the influence of epigenetics marking and nuclear context on the function of
enhancers. Our approach combines development of new genomics strategies and
high-throughput perturbation systems ([Krebs A, _et al_ , eLife
2019](https://elifesciences.org/articles/04094)) to understand how
Transcription Factors control cell identity.
Your role
The project will study the mechanisms used by transcription factors to
cooperate at enhancers and activate transcription. Successful candidates will
study if the co-occupancy of specific TF combinations on DNA leads to
transcription activation. The approach combines single cell, single molecule
genomics with optogenetics, live imaging and high-throughput genetic
perturbations. The post-doc candidate will profit from the expertise in single
molecule genomics ([Krebs A, TIGS
2021](https://www.cell.com/trends/genetics/fulltext/S0168-9525\(21\)00077-9))
and computational biology within the Krebs lab ([Kleinendorst R, Barzaghi G et
al Nature Protocols, in press](https://www.protocols.io/view/genome-wide-
quantification-of-tf-binding-at-single-btr2nm8e)). The work will be directly
supported by the [computational facility](https://gbcs.embl.de/) and the
[sequencing facility](https://www.genecore.embl.de/) at EMBL. |

## About the position
A three-year PhD position within numerical modelling of condensing droplets is
available at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering, NTNU,
Trondheim.
Dropwise condensation is a complex phenomenon encountered both in nature and
in several practical industrial processes. Despite its relevance, many
important questions remain unanswered, hindering the potential high efficiency
of dropwise condensation for water collection and industrial condensation
applications. The position is part of the project “Droplet growth dynamics
during condensation” financed by the Research Council of Norway. This project
focuses on fundamental research, using numerical simulations and theory to
better understand the condensation phenomenon. The work will involve the
development and implementation of numerical models to be able to reproduce the
physics and interaction between a liquid and a solid surface, based on an
existing numerical code at our group. High-fidelity computational simulations
will be used to investigate the roles of internal fluid flow, capillary
forces, solid substrate topography and phase-change heat transfer phenomena on
sessile droplets behavior.
The selected candidate will join our ongoing activities at the Thermal Two-
Phase Flow Laboratory (ThTPFLab) at the Department of Energy and Process

PhD Position in modeling of magnons in magnetic 2D materials at University of
Valencia |
The Institute of Materials Science of the University of Valencia (ICMUV) is
looking for applicants for a PhD position.
**Project** : A promising alternative to the use of electronics for
transporting information is the use of other electron properties like the spin
(spintronics) or spin-waves (magnon spintronics or magnonics). An interesting
platform for development of novel electronics are 2D materials beyond graphene
and in particular, magnetic 2D materials. The project aims to investigate the
properties of magnons in 2D materials by developing a theoretical framework
based in ab initio methods and many-body perturbation theory. In addition, the
project will be carried out in collaboration with Dr. Davide Sangalli from the
Istituto di struttura della materia (ISM) of the CNR in Rome. More information

MSc student - Stochastic thermometry with Josephson junction down to
nanosecond resolution |
Job Description:
The candidate will take part in the development of the fastest in the world
all-solid-state thermometer capable of measuring temperature dynamics in
nanostructures with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution. The project
will take an extensive use of a superconducting Josephson junction (JJ) as a
temperature-sensing element. Successful implementation of a JJ-based
thermometer should lead to establishing a new approach to calorimetry and
bolometry at the nanoscale. It will make it possible to dynamically test
thermodynamical properties of nanostructures, involving measurements of heat
capacity and thermal conductivity as well as mechanisms of heat exchange at
low temperatures (hot electron diffusion, electron-phonon coupling, photon
radiation). |

Postdoctoral Researcher in Proteomics and Molecular Toxicology |
Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is an
internationally networked aquatic research institute within the ETH Domain
(Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology). It conducts research to achieve the
dual goals of meeting direct human needs for water and maintaining the
function and integrity of aquatic ecosystems.
The Department of Environmental Toxicology (Utox) invites applications for a
**Postdoctoral Researcher in Proteomics and Molecular Toxicology**
Traditionally, fish toxicity data required for environmental risk assessment
have been obtained from chronic toxicity tests with juvenile or adult fish.
These tests are, however, lengthy, costly and ethically challenged due to high
animal use. We at Utox therefore work to develop alternative (non-animal)
assessment methods that could reduce the need for animal testing. One approach
we are using seeks to predict chemical-induced organism-level effects in vivo
based on molecular and cellular changes measured in vitro.
The specific postdoc project advertised here focuses on the mechanistic target
of rapamycin (mTOR) pathwa and its potential role in mediating chemical
effects on growth in fish. Its goals are to characterize the basal
functionality of this pathway in fish cells cultured in vitro and to
investigate the consequences of the mTOR signalling disruption by
physiological or chemical stressors for metabolic status, growth and
proliferation of cells. A crucial project task entails the establishment of
mass spectrometry-based targeted assays to measure protein phosphorylation
dynamics along the mTOR pathway, as a means to circumvent the existing
methodological challenges resulting from the lack of species-specific
antibodies for (de)phosphorylated proteins of interest.
**Candidates** for this position should hold a PhD in proteomics,
bioanalytics, biochemistry, molecular biology or similar areas, and possess a
solid hands-on experience in mass spectrometry analysis and data
interpretation. Experience with cell cultures or other (alternative)
toxicological test models in the context of environmental risk assessment will
be a plus. Candidates should convince by a strong record of academic
achievements, solid work ethics, mature teamwork attitude, and well-developed
communication skills in English. The ability to work independently and
eagerness to demonstrate self-initiative in approaching re-search questions
and challenges are also essential. Last but not least, we look for individuals
who share our passion for science and are keen to make a meaningful
contribution to the advancement of our re-search field.
**The Department of Environmental Toxicology** offers a stimulating research
atmosphere, excellent opportunities for collaborative work and multiple
possibilities for further education and training to support professional
development goals of its employees. Our in-house research infrastructure
includes well-equipped cell culture and fish culture facilities along with
molecular biology laboratories and a state-of-the-art mass spectrometry
facility.
**Eawag is** a modern employer and offers an excellent working environment
where staff can contribute their strengths, experience and ways of thinking.
We promote gender equality and are committed to staff diver-sity and
inclusion. The compatibility of career and family is of central importance to
us. For more information about Eawag and our work conditions, please consult
[www.eawag.ch](https://www.eawag.ch/en/) and
[www.eawag.ch/en/aboutus/working/employment](https://www.eawag.ch/en/aboutus/working/employment/).
**Applications** will be accepted until **12 September 2021** , and should
include a cover letter clearly explaining your research background and
motivation to apply for this position, a CV and list of publications, copies
of your academic qualifications and contact information for two references.
Letters of support can also be included. The preferred start date is 1 October
2021, or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is initially funded for
two years.
For further information, please contact [Dr Ksenia
Groh](https://www.eawag.ch/en/aboutus/portrait/organisation/staff/profile/ksenia-

* In Phase 2, candidates who do not attend the interview will not be selected.
The final decision will consider the evaluation performed in both phases. The
curricular evaluation has a weight of 2/3 and the interview has a weight of
1/3 in the final evaluation.
The evaluation of the applications will be performed according to the terms of
this notice, weighting the elements of appreciation and producing the ordered
list(s) of candidates, by PhD project.
The admitted applications will be scored on a scale from 0 to 100 points in
each of the following evaluation criteria.
The evaluation criteria will have a duly justified quantitative and/or
qualitative correspondence associated individually to each of the applications

Open Positions for Postdoc and PhD students for Translational Oncology Lab at
the new Translational Respiratory Research Center (EgeSAM) |
**Translational Oncology Lab** focus on translational cancer research through
combining basic with (pre)clinical therapy research. The main focus is on lung
cancer and then especially Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC).
**About the Project:**
The research group is trying to identify critical genetic changes that drive
the onset of SCLC and they also make use of genetically- engineered mouse
models (GEMMs) that closely mimic human SCLC for functional genomics and
preclinical therapy studies. However, current SCLC models such as cultured
clonal tumor cell lines and GEMMs poorly represent the complex genetic
heterogeneity of human SCLC. In order to address this, they formed an expert
panel of clinicians and basic scientists to collect primary SCLC biopsy
together with follow-up therapy resistant secondary biopsies from the same
patient, were propagated as Patient Derived Xenotransplants (PDXs) in
recipient immune-compromised mice. This already led to the creation of a panel
of SCLC PDX models, which we will use as primary tool to study the role of
SCLC heterogeneity in (chemo) therapy response and evasion of adaptive and
innate immune response against SCLC.
**Main Responsibilities:**
The main research project that the Postdoc and PhD student has to perform will
therefore be:
\- Fully characterize the cellular heterogeneity in PDX SCLC by genetic
analyses, specific growth and marker characteristics, as well as comparative
genomic sequencing of individual PDX samples via Next Generation Sequencing.
Whole exome and transcriptome sequencing should reveal differences in genomic
mutations and (mutated) transcript patterns between primary and relapsed,
therapy resistant, SCLC.
\- Analysis of (epi) genetic factors involved in formation of tumor
heterogeneity in in vitro and in vivo models for SCLC. For this we developed a
lung cancer metastasis model in mice using with fluorescently labelled SCLC
cells for following Epithelial-Mesenchymal and Mesenchymal-Epithelial
transformation.
\- -Create SCLC PDX models in humanized mice background. Immune compromised
mice will be transplanted with either Peripheral Blood Monocytes from patients
or human embryonal Hematopoietic Stem Cells to reconstitute a full human
adaptive immunity in these mice This enables us to follow growth of
heterogeneous human SCLC in a reconstituted human immune environment
\- Performing preclinical immunotherapy experiments against SCLC. First immuno
therapy experiments will be carried out to the test if immuno-editing efficacy
changes, induced by immune checkpoint blockade effectors, are linked to nature
and content of neoantigens in every individual SCLC lesion.
**Background:**
\- Required background for both Post Doc and PhD students are; Molecular
Biology, Cell Biology, Cancer Biology, Immunology
**Experience:**
\- Candidates need to have the necessary research experience and capacity to
perform independent experiments. Both Post Doc and PhD student candidates
should have a good academic background, be very motivated and willingness to
perform creative innovative research.
\- Candidates are not expected to be experienced in all fields combined above
but one suffices. Especially an immunologist is very welcome.
\- All candidates must have an affinity to work with animals.

reductions in every sector. Energy used for heating accounts for approximately
20% of Irish greenhouse gas emissions but decarbonisation progress has lagged
the electricity sector. Heat energy is used in almost every sector of the
Irish economy and decarbonisation efforts will have a bearing on households,
businesses, and industry - as well as the supporting supply chain activities.
This emphasises the need for a detailed, comprehensive, and actionable
evidence base that policy makers and other stakeholders can base their
decisions upon.
SEAI, in its role as the National Energy Authority, is conducting the National
Heat Study to support these needs. The study aims to provide a consistent,
detailed, and robust evidence base for policy decisions. The study evaluates
the costs and benefits of various pathways that reach net-zero by 2050. This
evaluation is based on a comprehensive understanding of the profile of heating
and cooling demand in Ireland, as well as the costs, potential and suitability
of the technologies, infrastructure and fuels that can be deployed to reduce
emissions. The findings support Ireland's second submission to the EU of a
`national comprehensive assessment of the potential for efficient heating and
cooling' as required by Article 14 of the Energy Efficiency Directive. The
impending report entitled `Understanding Heating & Cooling in Ireland to
2050', outlines key insights from the National Heat Study across scenarios
that achieve net-zero emissions from heating and cooling.
The purpose of this initial work was to develop a computational model for
estimating capital and operating costs (CapEx and OpEx) and assessing the
economic viability of district heating (DH) throughout Ireland. The utilised
model calculates the capital and operating costs associated with the
construction and operation of district heating networks in over 18,000
distinct land areas in Ireland. The model also compares different technologies
that can be used to generate heat for use in district heating. The fundamental
objective of this work was to define, at a high-level, which areas in Ireland
show the greatest economic viability for district heating, and which
generating technologies should be utilised.

Post-doctoral position on the simulation of geothermal reservoirs in south of
Ile de France (H/F) |
The aim of the post-doctoral proposition is to assess the role of the
geothermal reservoir heterogeneities on the performance of geothermal
doublets. This issue will be investigated in a stochastic framework through
theoretical and numerical studies. One of the key concept underlying the issue
is the doublet connectivity and the main question is how to include a
connectivity indicator in a doublet performance measure. Different types of
reservoirs will be considered and most of the work will be concentrated on
existing doublets in the south of Ile de France.
This project is part of a collaborative program called UPGEO (UPscaling and
heat simulations for improving the efficiency of deep GEOthermal energy).
() headed by the
laboratory Geops of Paris Saclay University and different research institutes.
The overall objective of UPGEO is to optimize the geothermal production of
deep aquifers of south Ile de France on the basis of (1) precise knowledge of
the reservoir heterogeneity in terms of sedimentary geometries,
porosity/permeability, reservoir connectivity and (2) reliable numerical
simulations of flows and temperature evolution in the underground 30 years or
even 100 years after production.
The project will take place at the Climate and Environment Sciences Laboratory
(LSCE) located at Gif-sur-Yvette 25 km south of Paris, in collaboration with
the Geosciences laboratory GEOPS. Boths labs are member of the University
Paris Saclay. The hydro team where the post-doctorant student will work
develops physical and numerical models in a large area of geosciences. |

PhD in electron crystallography of carbohydrates (H/F) |
The PhD candidate must hold a master degree or equivalent postgraduate degree
in chemistry or in material science. Basic knowledge in coding is highly
desirable. Previous experiences in electron microscopy and/or carbohydrate
chemistry are beneficial but not required. Good command in spoken and written
English is required.
The “ECoCar” project (an ANR JCJC project coordinated by Dr Yu Ogawa) aims to
uncover the structural diversity of carbohydrates and establish the chemical
and higher-order structural relationships of carbohydrates. To achieve this
project goal, we will employ the microcrystal electron diffraction (microED)
upon its methodological optimization for carbohydrate molecules. We will
optimize and verify this method by quantitatively assessing both the global
and localized radiation damages of carbohydrate structures. By exploiting the
knowledge in the crystallization of carbohydrates and the large collection of
carbohydrate molecules available in the host institute, Cermav, we aim at
preparing a wide variety of high-quality carbohydrate crystals for the microED
acquisition. Obtained microED crystal structures will be organized in a
structural database we will build in this project for comparative analysis.
A PhD candidate will be hired in CERMAV and work in the EM facility of
Institut de chimie moléculaire de Grenoble (ICMG). The candidate is expected
to develop their own expertise in crystallization of carbohydrates and
microED-based electron crystallography and contribute to the database
construction. |

Highly reactive carbon materials for catalysis |
The thesis work is part of a collaborative ANR project involving two other
doctoral students (organic chemistry and molecular modeling) and a post-
doctoral student (physics), all located in Toulouse (LCC and LPCNO).
The fundamental study and engineering of defective carbon materials (DCM)
could allow major advances in various fields such as information storage,
nanoelectronics and catalysis. The innovative idea of this project is based on
a recent discovery made in the laboratory based on a thermochemical process
for preparing DCM, which allows the introduction of controlled quantities of
defects. The exact nature of the localized electronic states created by this
thermochemical process is not yet known and definitely deserves more
attention. In this context, the thesis subject aims to develop a new
generation of DCM-based catalysts and to evaluate their chemical reactivity,
because a carbene-like behavior is expected. DCM will be produced from
different carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon
nanofibers). The materials thus produced will be evaluated in heterogeneous
catalysis either directly as catalysts or as single site type catalyst
supports.
We believe that the results obtained within the framework of the project will
allow major advances for the surface science of carbon materials, for which
the physical (free radicals, edge states) and chemical (carbene type) visions
of graphene edges must be reconciled; but also in heterogeneous catalysis (new
solid carbenes). |

Microfluidics and Industrial Yeasts - CDD Chercheur (Post-doc M/F) |
\- Implementation of microfluidic tools for high-throughput yeast analysis
\- Instrumentation and programming for high throughput decision making in
microfluidics
\- microbiology: handling and analysis of yeast
The project presented here aims to set up microfluidic systems capable of
controlling the different stages of the sexual cycle of the yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The long-term applied objective of this study is to
improve the selection techniques of industrial yeasts by sexual pathway for
application in oenology.
At the fundamental level, the genesis, purification and isolation of spores
and neo-formed hybrids at a rate of about 100 yeasts per second will allow us
to answer fundamental questions that are still poorly explored. The
development of label-free sorting techniques based on morphology alone will
allow the development of studies on collections of wild yeasts that are
perfectly characterized at the genetic level.
In terms of microfluidic techniques and concepts, this project will
demonstrate the potential of microfluidics for industrial application. The use
of shape recognition and sorting on this shape is a major axis of innovation
that will eventually allow applications in other fields (medical, analytical,
...).
The study is based on the complementarity of the two partners, industrial and
academic:
Biolaffort specializes in the selection and genetic and phenotypic
characterization of wine-making yeasts. These skills enable it to identify and
combine genetic variations in a single individual in order to improve its
technological performance. To do this, it combines genomic analyses (NGS
sequencing) with quantitative genetic approaches and methods for phenotyping
oenological properties.
The Soft Micro Systems team of the CRPP laboratory (Univ. Bordeaux / CNRS) is
specialized in the design of microfluidic systems for the manipulation,
analysis and high-throughput sorting of cells. The principle of this
microfluidic approach consists in miniaturizing and automating 'classical'
biological tests in microdrops used as microreactors. The sorting of these
drops, automated, is done in a classical way by fluorescence detection (as in
a conventional cell sorter of type 'FACS') but can also be based on the
detection of the shape of the cells present in the drop.
The distribution of the activities will be based on the competences of each
part. The microfluidic part, instrumentation, programming will be done at the
CRPP. The yeast biology part will be done at BioLaffort. The work time within
BioLaffort is estimated at 50%. |

CDD PhD Student M / F Growth of graphene on Germanium on Insulator:
manufacture, properties and applications |
The thesis work will be shared between two laboratories in the South of
France: the Center for Research on Hetero-Epitaxie and Applications (CRHEA -
UPR10), in Sophia Antipolis, and the Institute Materials Microelectronics
Nanosciences Provence (IM2NP - UMR 7334), in Marseille.
The CRHEA is a CNRS research laboratory of about 60 people specialising in the
epitaxy of wide band gap semiconductor materials such as element III nitride
materials (GaN, AlN), zinc oxide (ZnO), silicon carbide (SiC) and their micro-
and nanofabrication in clean rooms. The CRHEA also studies 2D materials such
as graphene and boron nitride. The major fields covered by the CRHEA concern
the energy transition, future communications, the environment and health. The
CRHEA also carries out fundamental studies in nanoscience and crystal growth.
The laboratory runs eight molecular jet epitaxy growth reactors and six vapour
phase growth reactors. It also has tools for structural characterisation of
materials and a clean room for micro- and nanofabrication.
IM2NP is a multidisciplinary research unit of about 300 people located at the
confluence of physics, chemistry and microelectronics. It is structured into
17 research teams that cover the entire knowledge chain, from basic sciences
(solid state physics, materials chemistry) to devices, circuits and systems.
The NOVA team at IM2NP is specialised in MBE of SiGe and Germanium on
Insulator (GeOI) and stress engineering using a combination of processes based
on condensation, epitaxy and heat treatments. NOVA also has excellent know-how
in 2D material growth and in situ characterisation (STM, XPS) at the atomic
scale. The team's scientific strategy is based on a nanotechnology platform
bringing together large-scale equipment for elaboration (2 MBE, 1 CVD),
surface analysis (STM, XPS, Auger, AFM), nanostructuring (2 FIB) and ex situ
nanocaracterisation (optical spectroscopy, SEM). The complementary nature of
the team members' knowledge and skills creates a strong and effective synergy,
a source of dynamism.
Today, Graphene (Gr) and two-dimensional (2D) materials offer the prospect of
unprecedented advances in device performance at ultimate dimensions. Their
amazing potential could be a solution to overcome the limitations of silicon
technology, where the combination of 2D materials with silicon chips promises
to overcome current technological limits. It has recently been shown that
these materials can improve both the function and performance of components,
to enhance the characteristics of future technologies, both in the fields of
computing and in other areas such as for future cameras, low power optical
data communications and gas biosensors. In particular, for image sensors and
photodetectors, graphene and 2D could enable new vision in the infrared and
terahertz in addition to the visible range of the spectrum. They can be used
for example in autonomous vehicles, airport security and augmented reality.
Gr integration could also significantly improve memory and data storage
devices through new switching mechanisms for MIS structures, avoid leakage
currents in memory arrays, or even push performance gains in wired copper-
based circuits by making Gr adhere to ultrathin copper barrier materials and
thus reduce resistance, scattering and self-heating.
To achieve the goal of moving from a research laboratory environment to a
pilot line for the production of the first devices that would combine the two
technologies, the challenges to be addressed concern the growth of Gr on
Silicon, the quality of the interfaces, the doping, the contact, the design
and all associated processes. The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the
potential of Gr on Germanium on Insulator (GeOI) through the optimisation of
GeOI growth by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), the study of graphene growth on
GeOI by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) and the associated characterisation
means. |

PhD student M/F Involvement of NPFF1R and NPFF2R receptors in the modulation
of morphine analgesia and nociception |
The UMR7242-BSC (Biotechnology and Cellular Signaling) is located on the
Illkirch campus of the University of Strasbourg in the premises of the Ecole
Supérieure de Biotechnologie de Strasbourg and brings together about 80 people
in 8 teams working on topics combining approaches of functional and structural
genomics, biological chemistry (screening of molecules) and biological
engineering with the aim of deciphering certain cell signaling pathways and
developing new molecules and therapeutic strategies. They are particularly
interested in the themes of genome integrity and membrane communication
pathways. The host team is composed of about 15 people including 3 permanent
researchers, 1 Professor, 4 technical staff and several PhD and post-doctoral
students. It is interested in the role of different G protein coupled
receptors in the modulation of pain and associated inflammatory processes. The
student will be supervised by the scientific leader of the team and will work
in the UMR7242-BSC premises in Illkirch. This work will be carried out within
the framework of a project funded by the ANR on the role of neuropeptide FF
receptors in the modulation of pain, in collaboration with a team of medicinal
chemists from the Faculty of Pharmacy and a team from the Institute of
Integrative Cellular Neurosciences of Strasbourg. For more information, please
visit the website:
Pain is a major health problem that substantially reduces quality of life and
imparts
high health costs and economic loss to society. Despite significant efforts
made by the
pharmaceutical industry over several decades, little progress has been made in
developing new effective pain relievers that have no side effects. It is
therefore
necessary today to identify new targets that could lead to the development of
new
therapeutic tools and to better understand how they are involved in the
modulation of
nociception. The administration of opioid analgesics as with persistent pain
leads to
the development of hypersensitivity to nociceptive stimuli called
hyperalgesia, which
is related to the overactivation of endogenous pronociceptive systems. The
results of
the literature as well as the work carried out in our team indicate that the
NPFF1R and
NPFF2R receptors and their endogenous ligands RFRP (RF-amide related peptide)
and
NPFF (Neuropeptide FF) are pronociceptive "anti-opioid" systems whose
endogenous
activation opposes the analgesic activity of opiates. However, the respective
roles of
these two systems remain poorly understood due to the absence of highly
selective
antagonists for each of these receptors. In a previous project we were able to
identify
and characterize a selective NPFF1R receptor antagonist but to date no
selective
NPFF2R receptor antagonist could be identified. Recent work has allowed us to
identify new chemical entities with nanomolar affinity for NPFF2R and
micromolar
affinity for NPFF1R. The objectives of this project will be (i) to
characterize these
molecules in in vitro and in vivo assays in mice. (ii) to then use one of
these
pharmacological tools to study the involvement of the NPFF2R receptor in
different
models of opioid-induced hyperalgesia as well as in models of persistent pain
(iii) to
confirm the observations made with this molecule in animals genetically
deficient for
the NPFF1R and NPFF2R receptors available in the laboratory (iv) to identify
the
regions of the central and peripheral nervous systems where these receptors
are
expressed using a combination of in situ hybridization and
immunohistochemistry
techniques. Overall, these results combined with the observations we already
made
with the available selective NPFF1R receptor antagonist will allow us to
accurately
define the respective roles of the NPFF1R and NPFF2R receptors and their
endogenous
ligands in the modulation of nociception and morphine analgesia. They will
also make
it possible to specify the therapeutic potential of these two targets in the
treatment of
pain and in the improvement of treatments with existing opioid analgesics. |

modalities from tissues and integrate them with clinical data from patients,
linking the cellular mechanisms operating in the tissue at the moment of
infection with the patient's clinical history.
**Project summary** :
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the top causes of death worldwide and it is
responsible for 1.5 million deaths each year. As part of the UNITE4TB
initiative, a joint industry-academic effort to develop and test novel,
relapse-free cures for TB, the group uses biological samples and clinical data
from patients at different stages of TB to identify biomarkers that can be
predictive of infection outcome and that can serve as the basis for novel
diagnostic tests. The group applies state-of-the-art machine learning
techniques to link the single cell data with different biomedical data types.
For this project we have an exciting postdoctoral position for candidates with
backgrounds in computational biology, data science, computational epidemiology
and machine learning.
The successful candidate will develop and deploy machine learning workflows
that will allow for the integration of multiple data modalities and the

PhD Candidate in Macroecology |
_Are you interested in how humans have altered global patterns of animal
behaviour? As a PhD candidate, you will explore how animals modify their
movement patterns in response to multiple human disturbances. You will
contribute to our understanding of the impacts and consequences of human
activities on animal behaviour and populations.
_ Animal movement is an important process determining the fate of individuals
and shaping the structure and dynamics of populations and ecosystem processes.
With human activities modifying landscapes globally, the way in which animals
interact with their environment is also changing. Previous work has found that
mammals living in human-modified landscapes may alter movement and energetic
expenditure, with potential consequences for populations and ecosystem
processes. It is therefore important to quantify how animals modify their
movement in response to humans.
The aim of this PhD project is to examine the differences in movement
behaviour between mammal species, how human pressures impact animal movement
and the consequences thereof for animal populations. This will involve the
analysis of empirical animal movement data, remote sensing data and species
traits in order to explore mammal movement patterns from individuals to
species. Understanding this is important for building a solid knowledge
foundation of how humans impact animal behaviour, and also provides vital
information for examining the consequences of these impacts for animal
populations and ecosystems.
Besides your research, you will have a standard teaching load of 10%. Radboud
University will give you the opportunity to extend the 4-year PhD period by
another year to be more substantially engaged in teaching during the whole
period, leading up to the acquisition of a university teaching certificate
(BKO). |

characterize virus diversity in wild plants. Plant virus genomes are highly
diverse and evolve rapidly. To know which role plant viruses play in shaping
natural plant communities, we must characterize their biodiversity and
evolution.
You might be familiar with the phenomenon that plant virus infections are
often asymptomatic, i.e., they do not cause overt disease, and can even be
beneficial for the host. Recently, plant virus research expanded from the
study of individual virus-host systems into characterizing global diversity
using metagenomics, i.e., sequencing the genetic content of environmental
samples without the need for prior virus isolation. Metagenomics led to the
surprising observation that virus infections are ubiquitous, that there is a
high incidence of mixed infection, and that most plant viruses identified in
crops also occur in wild plants. There is growing evidence that viruses can
impact plant ecosystems, which calls for a reappraisal of the role of viruses
in natural ecosystems and accentuates the need to understand virus genomes and
their function and evolution.
The aim of this project is to develop bioinformatics methods to analyze plant
virus metagenome data that has been sampled from wild plants in the
Netherlands. This (and potentially your) project will contribute to
understanding plant virus diversity and evolution in natural Dutch ecosystems.
You will contribute to developing bioinformatics methods to discover and
reconstruct virus genomes from high-throughput plant virus sequencing data and
to analyze ecological and evolutionary properties of these viruses. To this
end, we aim to analyze the effect of host range and mixed infections on intra-
host diversity and estimate how recombination and selection impact virus
genome evolution.
Beyond the scientific and potentially application merits, you will build a
wide network for your future career both within and outside Wageningen
University.
The research is embedded within the chair group of Bioinformatics at
Wageningen University which is led by Prof. Dick de Ridder
(). You will be supervised by Dr. Anne Kupczok
(). The research will be carried out in close
collaboration with Dr. Mark Zwart at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology
(NIOO-KNAW) (). The position is
for four years and funded by the graduate school Experimental Plant Sciences
(). |

new chair is expected to develop a research agenda on the interface of
cultural industries, media and digitalization and attracting research funding
as well as knowledge application/valorization. They will also actively
participate in the interdisciplinary Jantina Tammes School for Digital
Society, Technology and AI at the University of Groningen.
Teaching
The teaching task covers 60% of the appointment (minus management time). The
new chair is expected to lecture in the field of Media Studies and, more
specifically, Media and Cultural Industries. The international, English-taught
BA programme in Media Studies (),
containing the second year Cultural Industries profile of 30 EC, focuses on
the social and informative functions of media. It is rooted in the humanities
but also draws upon methods and paradigms developed in the social sciences.
The programme has an annual enrolment of 120 students from all parts of the
world. Our five MA programmes ()
provide students with cutting-edge knowledge of media and the digital
transformations that profoundly change society. In addition, the department
offers minor and pre-master programmes Media Studies and Journalism Studies.
Our BA and MA programmes rank first among all Media Studies programmes in the
Netherlands in the national student survey.
Management
The chair is expected to perform management duties within the department of

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at TU Chemnitz welcomes applications
for an
#### **Assistant Professor (W1) in “Function-integrative Plastics
Technology”**
#### **with Tenure Track to W3 (m/f/d)**
to be appointed by April 1st, 2022 **.** This call is part of Germany’s Joint
Federal and State Program for the Promotion of Young Researchers (Tenure-Track
Program) and is aimed at scientists in an early-career phase, who should have
held research positions outside TU Chemnitz for at least two years.
We are looking for a scientifically visible personality who is proven in the
field of functional integration in plastic-based semi-finished products,
components and systems.
The focus is on:
* Material-efficient and process adapted design of plastic-based components and systems with additional non-mechanical functions that take on electronic, thermal, tribological or haptic tasks,
* Material and structural mechanical characterization of polymer-based components and hybrid structures with an extended property profile,

* Sustainable technologies for the integration of intrinsic functionality in plastic components for advanced motion systems,
* Resource-saving manufacturing processes for functional semi-finished products as carrier systems for bio-based lightweight structures and additive manufacturing technologies for functional integration.
In teaching, the W1 junior professorship in the bachelor´s and master´s degree
program in Mechanical engineering, Micro technology and mechatronics,
Automotive production and technology, Sports engineering, Medical engineering
as well as Advanced manufacturing is to set new accents. In addition, the
implementation of courses in interdisciplinary degree programs is expected as
well as the ability and willingness to give courses in English.
Following qualifications are assumed: strong research track record (success in

Ph.D Research fellowship in Computational Engineering |
## Job description
The University of Stavanger invites applicants for a PhD Fellowship in
Computational Engineering at the Faculty of Science and
Technology, Department of Energy Resources.
This is a trainee position that will give promising researchers an opportunity
for academic development through a PhD education leading to a doctoral degree.
The hired candidate will be admitted to the PhD program in Science and
Technology. The education includes relevant courses to about six months of
study, a dissertation based on independent research, participation in national
and international research environments, relevant academic communication, a
trial lecture and public defence. Read more about the PhD education at UiS on
[our website.](https://www.uis.no/en/research/phd-education-university-
stavanger)
The appointment is for three years with research duties exclusively
This PhD is part of a joint research project between University of Stavanger,
NORCE (Norwegian Research Centre, and Oslo University Hospital. Each year 600
kids are born with a heart failure which often makes surgical intervention
necessary. Patients with univentricular hearts have poor circulation because
venous and arterial blood are mixed in the heart.
The Fontan procedure consists of passing venous blood from the inferior vena
cava and superior vena cava directly to the pulmonary artery via a tube of
Gore-Tex material that is placed outside the heart. This procedure improves
circulation, but the blood flow is driven by the venous pressure and is not
pumped by the heart as normal. Details of the design can have great impact on
the circulation performance.
The research group has developed computational fluid dynamics solvers for
blood flow based on Lattice-Boltzmann methods, finite-element and finite-
volume methods. The PhD candidate will continue development of these solvers
and also develop optimization strategies to identify optimal tube geometries.
The results will be compared with clinical and data generated under controlled
conditions.
The doctorate will mainly be carried out at the University of Stavanger and
NORCE, apart from a period of study abroad at a recognized and relevant centre
of research.
### Project proposal
As an applicant, you must prepare a preliminary project proposal for a
doctoral project within the project as described above, which explains the
problem, relevance, theoretical and methodological approach. Your preliminary
project proposal will be included in the application assessment.

and progress plan will be further developed in cooperation with your
supervisors and completed for the final plan for the PhD-project.

PhD Position in Accelerator Physics – Ultra-sensitive Beam Intensity
Measurement (m/f/d) |
At the GSI beam instrumentation group new diagnostics devices are permanently
developed to match the requirements of the upcoming Facility for Antiproton
and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI/Darmstadt, Germany. One of the major fields of
research is the non-destructive measurement of beam intensity in the high
energy beam transport sections and in the storage rings.
In the frame of a Collaboration supported by the BMBF (German Ministry of
Research), extensive investigations on a superconducting SQUID based Cryogenic
Current Comparator (CCC) for intensity measurements down to the nA range have
been performed. This device measures the beam intensity via the beam magnetic
field (fT-range), which requires meticulous shielding. The results from the
prototype measurements led to the design of an advanced CCC for FAIR, which
was successfully tested in the [Cryring@ESR](mailto:Cryring@ESR) facility.
Within the BMBF collaboration steps for optimization and further improvement
of this detector as well as the associated cryostat have been defined, in
parallel, alternative detector concepts are under development. The work
related to these topics is particularly attractive for ‘hands on’ physicists
or electrical engineers, who have at the same time strong interest in
fundamental physics and high-end technology. It covers a large spectrum of
topics in the accelerator field, like mechanical design, vacuum, cryogenics,
superconductivity, electronics, simulations, control applications, beam
operation, data acquisition etc. The focus of the PhD work can to some extend
be defined according to the inclination of the candidate. However, the goal is
the setup, commissioning of an ultrasensitive and reliable diagnostics device
for FAIR, as well as its optimization and comparison with other diagnostic
schemes.

2 Years, Fixed-Term, Whole-time Post
**Position Summary**
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the laboratory of Dr
Paul Young in the School of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, University College
Cork, Ireland.
Project Details
LNX1 and LNX2 proteins are closely related E3 ubiquitin ligases that are
expressed in neurons. We have described anxiety-related behavioural
abnormalities in mice lacking LNX1 and/or LNX2. Taking advantage of our access
to LNX1 and LNX2 knockout mice, this project seeks to identify the
developmental processes, neural circuit(s) and molecular mechanisms by which
loss of LNX function leads to these behavioural alterations. The project will
also identify the molecular interactions that are relevant to LNX protein
function _in vivo_. Overall, the project will provide novel insights into the
molecular mechanisms underlying brain circuits that control behaviours of
relevance to anxiety and autism spectrum disorders and potentially support
further investigation of LNX proteins as novel drug targets.

About the Climate Resilient Crop Production Laboratory |
This project will examine the role of flavonols – plant specialized
metabolites with potent in vitro antioxidant properties – in promoting pollen
development and seed set during heat stress. Production of seed and fruit
crops depends on successful sexual reproduction. Plant sexual reproduction
involves development of pollen grains and delivery of sperm cells within the
pollen grains to the female gametophyte through the growth of a pollen tube.
Pollen development and tube growth are highly sensitive to heat stress.
Increases in temperatures linked to climate change will thus undermine crop
yields.
A hallmark of heat stress is increased generation of reactive oxygen species
(ROS). Overaccumulation of ROS leads to oxidative stress, which impairs normal
plant growth and development. However, localized production of basal ROS
levels drives signaling pathways involved in normal plant developmental and
physiological processes. To maintain ROS at levels conducive to signaling,
plants use diverse enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant machineries.
Flavonols are a class of plant specialized metabolites with potent ROS
scavenging activity. We previously reported that flavonols prevent ROS from
reaching inhibitory levels at normal and increased temperatures, thereby
promoting pollen viability and tube growth.
It is however largely unknown where and when ROS and flavonols are synthesized
in developing pollen and surrounding tissues, if ROS and flavonol biosynthesis
is regulated by heat stress in these tissues and if flavonols act as ROS
scavengers during pollen development. You will study ROS and flavonol
accumulation and biosynthetic pathways in response to heat stress in
developing anthers and pollen grains. Using genetic and pharmacological
approaches to manipulate the ROS and flavonol biosynthetic pathways, you will
test how these compounds regulate pollen development in normal and heat stress
conditions and if flavonols act as ROS scavengers in developing anthers and
pollen grains. This project will be performed using the agriculturally
important crop Solanum lycopersicum (tomato), for which molecular and genomic
resources are well developed. |

PhD position on “Photonic integrated circuits for UV Raman sensing of
biomolecules” |
We are looking for a PhD candidate to develop and study photonic integrated
circuits operating at ultraviolet wavelength for on-chip Raman spectroscopy,
in view of biomedical applications.
Context:
For ten years, the Photonic Research Group (PRG) has built a world-renowned
expertise in silicon-nitride-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for
biological Raman spectroscopy and sensing. To further push the detection limit
of on-chip Raman sensors toward ultimate values that would be relevant for
biomedical applications, PICs that are compatible with UV light are foreseen
as a promising approach, in particular because this allows to take advantage
of resonant enhancement of Raman scattering. It requires however a paradigm
shift in terms of material platform and design strategies in line with large-
volume fabrication. The primary objective of the PhD project is to develop a
new photonic integrated platform for on-chip UV Raman spectroscopy, in a way
that is compatible with the materials and processes found in a CMOS-foundry.
Major breakthroughs are expected in this new field.
Job description:
The position will encompass simulations, design, fabrication and optical
characterization of UV photonic integrated circuits (PICs) as well as the
implementation of on-chip UV Raman sensing in a suitably chosen biomedical
application |

longitudinal study in which adolescents complete a questionnaire on howthey
interact with media at three different time points over a course of 1 year in
school, 2) a study during 14 consecutive days in whichadolescents complete a
brief questionnaire every day at home on how they interact with media on a
daily basis and 3) a study on the socialmedia profiles of adolescents.The
research aims to gain insights into the effects of media popular among
adolescents (12 to 18 years). In a first part of the study, weaim to study the
type of content that adolescents encounter about appearance, relationships
with friends, school results and romanticrelationships on social media
profiles(for instance Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) and television, and to
understand how such contentaffects their (meritocratic) beliefs about the
world and their personal well-being (i.e., performance pressure). Moreover,
the research aimsto understand how adolescents respond to performance-focused
messages when playing videogames. We want to learn about howadolescents
interact with such media over a period of one year, but also on a daily basis. |

Postdoctoral fellowship in brown algal molecular genetics (H/F) |
The project will involve application of CRISPR-Cas9 methodology, targeting
Ectocarpus genes with a predicted role in life cycle progression. Mutants will
also be identified based on phenotypic screens of mutated populations,
including screens for suppressor mutations of the ouroboros and samsara
mutations. Characterisation of these mutants, and further characterisation of
the ouroboros and samsara mutants themselves, will involve applying a range of
different possible approaches including microscopic observation,
immunostaining, transcriptomic and epigenetic analyses. All these approaches
will use the filamentous brown alga Ectocarpus as the model system of study.
The project will also therefore involve maintenance, growth and genetic
analysis (e.g. crosses) of wild type and mutant strains of this alga.
Life cycles play a key role in determining many features of an organism's
biology. The diverse life cycles of the brown algae strongly influence
ecological and developmental characteristics and, from an applied point of
view, the capacity to control the life cycle is essential for successful
aquaculture production of brown seaweeds. The host laboratory has recently
identified two master life cycle regulators, the TALE homeodomain
transcription factors OUROBOROS and SAMSARA, and has developed several new
tools to investigate life cycle regulation, including CRISPR-Cas9-based gene
knockout methodology. The objective of the postdoctoral project will be to
further investigate the mode of action of OUROBOROS and SAMSARA and to
identify and characterise additional life-cycle-related processes using
molecular genetic approaches, particularly analysis of mutant lines generated
using the recently developed CRISPR-Cas9 methodology. The project is financed
by the French National Research Agency project "Epicycle".
The postdoctoral fellowship will be in the Algal Genetics Group (Department
"Integrative Biology of Marine Models" UMR8227) at the Station Biologique de
Roscoff.
The host institute, the Station Biologique de Roscoff, is a marine biology and
oceanology research centre situated in the town of Roscoff on the beautiful
north coast of Brittany. |

.Speech -cognition
Gipsa-lab regroups 148 permanent staff and around 260 no-permanent staff (Phd,
post-dotoral students, visiting scholars, administrative and technical staff,
trainees in master…).
The research work carried out during this PhD will take place within the
framework of the ANR RICOCHET project, in collaboration with several research
teams in signal processing (CRAN in Nancy and CRIStAL in Lille) and
gravitational astronomy (APC in Paris). Short visits in those labs will be
organized during the PhD. The algorithms developed during this thesis will
have to be integrated into the libraries of the LIGO/Virgo consortium. Regular
reports on the progress of the work will be made within the RICOCHET project.
The results obtained will be published in signal processing and astrophysics
journals, as well as in international conferences in both fields.
Since their discovery about a century ago, it is predicted that gravitational
waves (GW) are polarized, meaning that they can be described as a bivariate
signal made up of two modes (real-valued signals), denoted « plus » and «
cross ». Astrophysicists have conjectured that several sources could
potentially produce polarized GW including miss-aligned Binary compact objects
(Black Holes and/or neutron stars), or supernovae for example. Untill now,
among the catalogue of GW sources detected since 2016, only one source was
identifying as a candidate for polarized emission. In the coming years, it is
anticipated that, thanks to the multiplication of the number of detectors and
the increase of their sensibility, polarized sources may be visible on earth-
based network of detectors. In order to provide signal processing tools taking
implicitly the polarization dimension into account in the analysis, it is
necessary to provide dedicated algorithms sensitive to the inner geometry of
polarized signals. GW data analysis calls for polarized signal models for GW
strains generation and analysis.
Recently, a geometry based approach for bivariate signal processing was
developped, based on quaternion Fourier analysis. It allows to highlight
geometric properties of bivariate signals (especially in the spectral domain),
while based on sound mathematical theory and physics inspired observables.
The proposed work for this PhD will make use of this recent theory and will
take advantage of it to investigate new models for bivariate signals.
Especially, dynamical and low-rank bivariate signal models with controlled
polarization properties will be studied. Dynamical models consists in signals
generated by recursive models : Linear Reccurence Relations (LRR) in the
deterministic case and Auto-Regressive (AR) in the stochastic case. In
particular, it will be investigated how can those models generate bivariate
signals with predefined/desired polarization properties. In addition, the
study of low-rank bivariate models will be investigated, in order to provide
new tools for bivariate signals interpretation, as low-rank approximation
allows to decompose signals into interpretable components. Here, it is
intended to propose new low-rank approximations for bivariate signals with
polarized components. For example, it is known in SSA (Singular Spectruml
Analysis) that the rank of the Hankel matrix built from a signal is related to
the order of the LRR that generated it. Extension of such result will be push
further to the polarized case. Thanks to the study of recursive polarized
models, the relation to polarized SSA will be explored, allowing new polarized
interpretation of multi-component bivariate signals. Such tools could bring a
new light on the analyisis and the characterization of polarized GW sources.
The developped algorithms will be tested on simulated bivariate GW signals in
order to provide new interpretable decompositions and approximations, with
physically interpretable quantities. GW sources will be studied through the
developped polarization analysis and will be validated on simulated data, with
exchanges and validation taken from astrophysicists involved in the RICOCHET
project. |

H/F PhD Student : PHOTONIC AUGMENTED SECURITY VIA PHYSICAL UNCLONABLE
FUNCTIONS |
INL is a 200-strong research institute based in Lyon, France, carrying out
fundamental and applied research in electronics, semiconductor materials,
photonics and biotechnologies. The Heterogeneous Systems Design group is a
leader in the area of advanced nanoelectronic design, with research projects
and collaborations at both national and European level. Recent highlights
include the development of high-performance design strategies for complex 3D
integrated circuits, ferroelectric logic in memory, VNWFET-based logic and
silicon photonic networks on chip.
Today, the exponential growth in the number of interconnected devices (75
billion IoT devices expected by 2025) demands for more robust and reliable
security layers to guarantee hardware integrity and information security.
Security layers are a fundamental part of our hardware and digital
infrastructure fulfilling several key functions e.g., assuring that a hardware
sub-system is not counterfeit or that a client has authentication rights onto
a server. Counterfeiting poses a serious threat to the security of large-scale
systems relying on the integration of several sub-systems e.g., counterfeit
chips have been found in ballistic missiles and fighter jets. Besides, the
daily exchange of sensitive data (medical data, banking information, etc.)
requires that pitfalls shall not be exploited by an attacker to compromise the
security of the platform e.g., recently discovered Meltdown and Spectre
hardware vulnerabilities at the CPU level allow an attacker to access
protected memory sectors e.g., storing passwords, secret keys…
The focus of this work will be to develop novel security layers that do not
rely on the physical storage of a secret key in memory, potentially accessible
exploiting SW or HW vulnerabilities. Physical unclonable functions (PUFs)
represent a recent class of security layers that can be used to generate
robust keys (responses) to given inputs (challenges) due to the complex
character of their responses. Fabrication tolerances guarantee that each
device cannot be cloned. Notwithstanding electronic PUFs are currently
predominant, they are vulnerable to machine learning attacks. Conversely,
photonic PUFs have demonstrated an increased strength against machine learning
attacks due to their richer responses and larger number of physical quantities
for key generation e.g., optical non-linearities.
In the framework of a research project funded by the French National Research
Agency (ANR-PHASEPUF), the Heterogeneous Systems Design group at INL aims to
develop novel silicon photonic PUFs for hardware integrity and information
security. In this context we are currently looking for a (m/f) PhD student for
a 3-year contract.
Job description
This thesis aims to explore novel implementations of photonic PUFs based on
CMOS-compatible Silicon Photonics approaches for applications in hardware
integrity (identification) and information security (secure authentication).
This will involve (i) exploring various photonic architectures by means of

Ph.D student (M/F): Comparing chronic stress- and pain-induced depression in a
sex-specific fashion: Role of the anterior cingulate cortex |
The student will use two different mouse models of depression, based either on
chronic stress (chronic variable stress) or chronic pain (neuropathic pain)
and using next generation RNAseq and genome wide DNA methylation, we will
profile transcriptional and epigenetic alterations occurring in each model in
the cortex
Title: Comparing chronic stress- and pain-induced depression in a sex-specific
fashion: Role of the anterior cingulate cortex
The growing number of patients showing comorbidity between chronic pain and
mood disorders, two long-lasting and very severe pathologies reducing
drastically their quality of life, creates an urgent need for improving
existing treatments and highlight new ones. The main objectives of this thesis
project are to compare the behavioural outcomes of chronic stress- and chronic
pain-induced depressive-like behaviors in male and female mice and to
characterize the transcriptional and epigenetic programs controlling the
expression of depressive-like behaviours induced by either chronic stress- or
chronic pain.
It is important to note that this research project will be conducted in
collaboration with a second thesis project led by Drs Pierre-Eric Lutz (INCI,
Strasbourg) and Benoit Labonté (Québec City, Laval University), entitled
“Epigenetic mechanisms of depression induced by chronic stress or chronic pain
in male and female mice: a systematic bioinformatic investigation across sexes
and models”. Our candidate will be in charge of leading behavioural and
molecular biology experiments, whereas the candidate under Dr Pierre-Eric Lutz
management will focus on bioinformatics data analysis and integrative analysis
of the generated data.
Candidate will work for an 18 months period at the Institute of Cellular and
Integrative Neurosciences (INCI, Strasbourg, France) within the Neuroanatomy,
Pain and Psychopathology team led by Dr Ipek Yalcin. This Institute main focus
is to explore the nervous system operation, from fundamental nervous cellular
communication mechanisms to the study of big physiologic functions, integrated
behavioral responses and associated neuropsychopathologies.
This second step will be followed by a 12 months period at the Research Center
Cervo at Laval University (Québec City, Canada) in Dr Benoit Labonté's team.
The Cervo Research Center is exclusively dedicated to the study of
neurosciences and mental health. Its main mission is to improve knowledges on
causes and treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases, in a specific
environment focused on cutting-edge technologies.
Finally, the candidate will spend 3 months at Doric Lenses (Québec City,
Canada), with Dr Jean-Luc Néron. Doric Lenses is a dynamic corporation
focusing its activity on development and production of cutting-edge photonic
apparatus technology. |

Ph.D student (M/F): Epigenetic mechanisms of depression induced by chronic
stress or chronic pain in male and female mice: a systematic bioinformatic
investigation across sexes and models |
The candidate will be responsible for processing RNA-Sequencing and EM-Seq
data. This will include primary analyses: quality controls, trimming,
alignment, gene expression counting, methylation calling. Second, we will
leverage systems biology and integrative analyses to identify molecular
mechanisms of depression, in each model and sex. At the differential analysis
level, we will perform group comparisons to identify changes in DNA
methylation or gene expression that reveal biological pathways most altered as
a function of chronic stress or chronic pain. At the systems biology level, we
will construct co-expression gene networks (using eg WGCNA). We will seek to
reveal co-expression modules that significantly correlate with depressive-like
behaviours, and that are enriched in depression-related significant changes in
gene expression or DNA methylation. Finally, we will take advantage of these
integrative methodologies to prioritize “hub” genes that are centrally located
among most affected modules, and that will be prioritized for functional in
vivo studies.
Title: Epigenetic mechanisms of depression induced by chronic stress or
chronic pain in male and female mice: a systematic bioinformatic investigation
across sexes and models
Depression is a chronic and invalidating disease that has two main causes:
chronic stress and chronic pain. Even though the individual implication of
these two factors has been abundantly investigated, we know very little about
similarities and differences in neurobiological mechanisms that mediate the
emergence of depression in each of these two situations. In this context, the
main hypothesis underlying the present PhD project is that a systematic
comparison of gene expression and epigenetic modifications occurring during
chronic pain or chronic stress should help identify molecular adaptations that
represent the core pathophysiological mechanisms of depression.
We have 3 mains objectives:
1) Conduct bioinformatic processing of next-generation sequencing data related
to gene expression (RNA-Sequencing) and DNA methylation (Enzymatic Methylation
Sequencing, EMseq), in 2 mouse models of depression based either on chronic
stress or chronic pain, in male and female mice;
2) Characterize DNA methylation and gene expression changes associated with
chronic stress- and chronic pain-induced depressive-like behaviours, in male
and female mice;
3) Conduct systems biology and integrative analyses (GO enrichments; network
analyses using eg WGCNA; multi-omic integration and clustering using RGCCA and
SNF, etc.) to identify “hub” genes in each mouse model and sex.
It is important to note that the present project will be conducted in
collaboration with a second PhD project led by Drs Ipek Yalcin (INCI,
Strasbourg) and Benoit Labonté (Québec City, Laval University), entitled
“Comparing chronic stress- and pain-induced depression in a sex-specific
fashion: Role of the anterior cingulate cortex”. This second project will
consist in conducting behavioural and molecular biology experiments leading to
the characterization of functional and behavioural roles of targeted genes.

M/F Reactive coordinated motion planning by robots with free-flying bases in
factories using IA |
Located in the University town of Toulouse, in the south-west of France, the
Gepetto group belongs to the CNRS-LAAS (Laboratory for the analysis and
architecture of systems) laboratory, a 640 man strong research center with
about 90 people working in robotics. Among our robot fleet, we have access to
a TIAGO and a TALOS full-size walking humanoid robot. The laboratory benefits
from strong connections to the adjoining universities and the space and
aeronautics industry.
This PhD aims at developing scientific techniques to improve the robot
autonomy and its potential interaction with human in an industrial context.
The goal of this PhD is to use Machine Learning techniques such that a mobile
robot can face and react in a meaningful way to unknown situations. For this
reason, the PhD will take place in the frame on the joint lab ROB4FAM (ROBots
for the Future of Aircraft Manufacturing) between Airbus Toulouse and Gepetto-
LAAS. It is also strongly connected to the European Project for which the
Gepetto is the coordinator (Nicolas Mansard). The goal of this project is to
use the memory of motion concept to improve decision making while generating
motion in industrial situations and more particularly for humanoid robots [1].
Tiago performing the insertion of a pin in a hole.
The goal of this PhD is to develop machine learning techniques to deploy a
TIAGO robot (a mobile base with an arm and a mobile head) in order to handle
changes in the situation while performing an industrial process. The targeted
industrial process is deburring [2] but might not be limited to. The work to
be tackled is to first plan a large number of movements based on realistic
scenarios and then to modify the plan in case of modification (slight changes
in the model), unplanned obstacles (forgotten tools, human presence, unplanned
inspection). In order to deal with such events, it is necessary to have
alternatives plans through exploration and efficient memory representation
coined in artificial intelligence.
The scientific approach will therefore take its root in the methods developed
in the frale of ROB4FAM : motion planning together with the control of the
motion realized [3] et du projet Memmo: trajectory optimization and warmstart
to solve such problems with neural networks [4]. Motion planning will be used
to explore the possible motion space for a given set of possible situations.
In the frame of this PhD, we will search in a first phase using classical
random exploration then we will be using neural network to bias the search.
Trajectory optimization will be used to improve locally the trajectories [5].
A possible track of research
will be to explore the intermediate representation of the parameters allowing
to define the robot motions by taking inspiration from machine learning
techniques such as transfer [6], and/or by combining exploitation-exploration.

Offre de thèse en biologie moléculaire de Chlamydomonas, H/F |
Le laboratoire de Biologie du chloroplaste et perception de la lumière chez
les micro-algues (UMR7141) étudie entre autres la biogenèse de l'appareil
photosynthétique chez Chlamydomonas. Dans ce cadre, nous nous intéressons aux
modalités de l'expression des génomes des organites, chloroplaste et
mitochondries. Le doctorant interagira avec l'ensemble du laboratoire, en
particulier Yves Choquet, spécialiste des OPR, ainsi qu'avec plusieurs autres
laboratoire dans le cadre d'un consortium financé par l'ANR. Il sera inscrit à
l'Ecole Doctorale "Complexité du vivant" de Sorbonne Université (ED515)
Le doctorant étudiera les protéines OctotricoPeptide Repeat (OPR) de
Chlamydomonas et leur rôle dans l'expression des génomes d'organites
(chloroplaste et mitochondries). Une attention particulière sera portée sur
certaines OPR qui portent en C-terminal un domaine RAP et dont nous suspectons
qu'elles agissent comme des endoribonucléases in vivo.
Le doctorant établira par transformation biolisitique du chloroplaste un
système rapporteur fluorescent basé sur mCherry. Pour tester si une séquence
nucléotidique est reconnue par une OPR-RAP donnée, il introduira cette
séquence dans la partie N-terminal du CDS. L'OPR-RAP sera quant à elle
introduite par transgenèse dans le génome nucléaire, sous forme étiquettée
pour pouvoir mesurer son niveau d'expression et avec un peptide d'adressage au
chloroplaste. La thèse incluera par ailleurs la génération de mutants d'OPR
par CRSIPR-Cas9 et leur analyse phénotypique (photosynthèse, respiration,
transcriptomique) |

**Job description:**
You want to apply your data science knowledge to the basic research questions
and societal challenges of our modern world? Our scientists in HDS-LEE address
some of the most pressing issues of our time, such as energy transition,
climate change and resource scarcity, brain function, drug design,
identification of diseases at very early stages. As Helmholtz School for Data
Science in Life, Earth and Energy (HDS-LEE), we aim to educate and train the
next generation of data scientists during their doctoral thesis in close
contact to domain-specific knowledge and research in three application
domains: Life and medical science, earth science, energy systems and material
science. Visit HDS-LEE at: [www.hds-lee.de/This](https://www.hds-lee.de/This)
HDS-LEE PhD position will be located at the Institute of Energy and Climate
Research, Energy Systems Engineering (IEK-10) at Forschungszentrum Jülich. At
IEK-10 we focus on the development of models and algorithms for simulation and
optimization of decentralized, integrated energy systems. Such systems are
characterized by high spatial and temporal variability of energy supply and
demand as well as by a high degree of interdependence of material and energy
flows. Research at IEK-10 aims to provide scalable and real-time capable
methods and tools which enable the energy-optimal, cost-efficient and safe
design and operation of future energy systems.
**Your Job:**
Optimization-based design of future energy systems is subject to uncertainties
that stem from the intermittent and non-dispatchable renewable electricity
sources. Fluctuation in local renewable electricity supply usually can be
balanced via grid connection. However, some systems, e.g., island systems,
require robustness against the uncertainty in their electricity sources.
Robust optimization techniques allow to arrive at robust system designs but
rely on accurate distribution models for the uncertain data at hand. In
particular, distribution models for uncertain time series like renewable
electricity generation remain a largely unexplored field in robust design. The
scope of this PhD project therefore is (i) to find efficient ways to model
potentially correlated distributions using machine learning, particularly
artificial neural networks (ANNs), and (ii) to utilize global optimization for
robust sampling of the derived distribution models.Your tasks in detail:
* Advance preliminary work on neural network-based distribution models for energy time series
* Combine machine learning with robust programming and global optimization
* Extend our in-house framework for energy systems optimization by efficient formulations and algorithms for design and operation of energy systems with embedded ANNs
* Apply the new method and algorithms to challenging design and operations problems
**Your Profile:**
* You have a high interest to apply your data science knowledge to energy science
* Excellent Master`s degree in computational engineering, energy/process systems engineering, simulation science, or a relevant discipline
* Expert knowledge of at least one programming language (preferably Python and C++)
* Expertise in numerical optimization and machine learning
* Excellent skills in spoken and written English
* Excellent organizational skills and the ability to work independently
* Excellent cooperation and communication skills and ability to work as part of a team
* High level of scholarship as indicated by bachelor and master study transcripts and two reference letters
**Our Offer:**
The HDS-LEE PhD position will be located at IEK-10, Forschungszentrum Jülich.
We offer:
* Outstanding scientific and technical infrastructure – ideal conditions for successfully completing a doctoral degree

* Continuous scientific mentoring by your scientific advisors
* Chance of participating in (international) conferences
* Unique HDS-LEE graduate school program
* Qualification that is highly welcome in industry
* Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service
* Further development of your personal strengths, e.g., via a comprehensive further training program - a structured program of continuing education and networking opportunities specifically for doctoral researchers via JuDocS, the Jülich Center for Doctoral Researchers and Supervisors: [www.fz-juelich.de/judocs](https://www.fz-juelich.de/judocs)
Please upload the following documents with your application:
* Application letter explaining the motivation for the position and research interests
* Curriculum vitae
* Bachelor and master or diploma study transcripts
* English skills: TOEFL score or equivalent evidence of English-speaking skills (high school diploma “Abitur” with English as main school subject)

problems, models need to describe the relevant macro-scale behavior of a
component for system-wide optimization problems. Increasingly, this need is
being addressed by data-driven models due to their inherent flexibility.
However, data-driven models are usually trained based on uniform prediction
accuracy. Models trained in such fashion do not necessarily match the
requirements for a specific deployment imposed by an expert modeler. The scope
of this project is to develop a method for training neural network-based
dynamic reduced-order models in an integrated framework that allows (i)
automated consideration of system requirements in the model training and (ii)
optimal representation of the models for use in numerical methods.Your tasks
in detail
* Develop a framework for data-driven dynamic reduced-order modeling of energy systems
* Extend the framework to account for training criteria based on systems knowledge about the target applications of the reduced-order models
* Integrate the framework into our in-house energy systems optimization environment COMANDO

PhD position Origami-based Flexible Architected Materials for High-Tech
Equipment |
The semiconductor industry expectations for lithography machine performance
demand ever-increasing capabilities, such as throughput, lifetime,
cleanliness, sustainability, and precision for mechatronic systems. One of the
key construction elements in high-tech mechatronic systems is flexible (i.e.
compliant) mechanisms. Unlike their rigid-body counterparts, they allow motion
in the desired directions enabled by their slender parts which deform
elastically. Due to their monolithic nature, cleanliness, and predictability,
they are desired in precision applications. Despite these advantages, flexible
mechanisms are one of the main road blockers for high-tech mechatronic systems
to achieve higher throughput, i.e. higher process speed and acceleration. This
is due to their inherent drawbacks such as limited range of motion for a given
design volume and low load bearing capacity (i.e. support stiffness).
In contrast, during the past two decades, flexible architected materials offer
opportunities for developing elastic materials with tunable mechanical
properties in unprecedented ways. These materials achieve their properties
from their internal geometries, rather than only from their chemical
composition. The goal of this project is to investigate the potential of using
origami-based flexible architected materials for application in high-tech
mechatronic systems.
In this project, you will study and develop: (1) kinematic synthesis methods
for origami-based flexible architected materials, and (2) strategies for a
proper stress distribution along origami crease patterns. The research
includes both design and modelling, and also performing experiments.
This project operates on the frontiers of science to address an industrial
need and will prepare you well for a career in academia and industry.
Our research team focuses on the development and understanding of flexible
architected materials, including origami-based, instability-based, and
mechanism-based architected materials. Besides developing fundamental
understanding, we demonstrate applications of flexible mechanisms and
architected materials in Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), Soft Robotics,
Medical Devices, Mechatronic Systems, and Precision Systems.
This team is part of the Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering
(PME) of the faculty of Mechanical, Maritime, and Materials Engineering (3mE)
of Delft University of Technology. Our department is well equipped with state-
of-the-art fabrication facilities and experimental equipment.

PhD Candidate/Junior Lecturer in Marketing and Responsible Innovation |
The Department of Business Administration at the Nijmegen School of Management
is looking for a PhD Candidate/Junior Lecturer for its Marketing group. As a
PhD Candidate/Junior Lecturer you will have both research (50%) and teaching
(50%) duties for a 6-year period.
For your research duties, you will work on a PhD project under the supervision
of Dr Vera Blazevic, Dr Paul Driessen and Prof. Bas Hillebrand. The research
you will conduct for your PhD thesis concerns 'Democratising innovation:
Responsibly engaging diverse stakeholders in innovation ideation contest'. To
address wider societal concerns in an inclusive manner, innovating
organisations give external stakeholders a voice by collaborating with them in
ideation contests. However, many organisations that use ideation contests
struggle to do this in a responsible way.
First, stakeholders may use open ideation platforms to post irrelevant or
ridiculing contributions, harming the overall ideation contest. Hence, the
first challenge is how to constructively engage diverse participants in
ideation contests without driving away other participants or losing
organisational reputation. Second, given that only a few ideas can win,
organisations need to reject most participants' ideas, which might harm
contributors' feelings/self-esteem and endanger their long-term relationship
with the organisation. Therefore, this research project aims to explore how
organisations can successfully and responsibly engage diverse participants in
ideation contests in a sustained manner. A more detailed project description
is available upon request from Dr Vera Blazevic
([vera.blazevic@ru.nl](mailto:vera.blazevic@ru.nl)).
Your teaching responsibilities include giving tutorials/lectures in the
Bachelor's degree programmes offered by the Department of Business
Administration, and in the Master's programmes of Marketing and/or Innovation
and Entrepreneurship. You may also be involved in Bachelor's and/or Master's
theses supervision. Whilst holding this position, you will be given the
opportunity to obtain your university teaching qualification. |

Postdoctoral Researcher in Mathematical Machine Learning |
The [Korteweg-de Vries Institute for Mathematics (KdVI)](https://kdvi.uva.nl/)
of the [University of Amsterdam (UvA)](https://www.uva.nl/en/about-the-
uva/about-the-university/about-the-university.html) invites you to apply for a
postdoc position in Mathematical Machine Learning for 13 months. You will
carry out research within the framework of the VIDI Grant “Adaptive Online
Machine Learning” of Tim van Erven. The starting date is flexible, but would
ideally be around September 2022.
**What are you going to do**
You will be working with Tim van Erven to design and mathematically analyze
new machine learning algorithms by proving new results in learning theory. The
ambition is to publish at top-level international conferences and journals,
like COLT, NeurIPS, the Journal of Machine Learning Research, etc.
**Possible topics include:**
_Adaptive Online Learning:_ Online learning deals with learning algorithms
that process data sets sequentially, one data point at a time. Such algorithms
play a key role in machine learning for very large data sets, for instance
when training deep neural networks. The goal of this project is to develop new
online learning algorithms and prove that they are optimal for multiple types
of loss functions and under multiple different types of assumptions, without
the need to manually tune any hyperparameters.
_Mathematical Formalization and Analysis of Explainability Methods:_ Recently
there has been much interest in generating explanations that clarify and
communicate how machine learning methods make their decisions. But none of the
existing methods gives any formal mathematical guarantees on how well they can
be expected to work and under which conditions their explanations can be
trusted. The goal of this project is to formalize explainability and to design
new methods with provable guarantees.
For a small part of your appointment (around 10%) you will be involved in
teaching (in English). You will also assist with supervising PhD students. A
travel budget will be provided to attend conferences and present relevant
publications. |

Assistant professor in large-scale photonic circuits for quantum information
processing and quantum computing |
Disruptive Computing Engines will enable revolutionary developments in science
and society that require far greater and more efficient computing power than
currently available. For instance, while future quantum computers promise to
solve problems that are intractable for even today's most powerful
supercomputers, small and intermediate-scale quantum processors can already
run small quantum algorithms. As another example, neuromorphic computing will
be orders of magnitude more energy-efficient, as necessary for applications
such as edge AI and personalised medicine.
The mission of TU Delft’s Quantum and Computer Engineering (QCE) department is
to invent, design, prototype and demonstrate the potential of disruptive
computing engines by harnessing unique features of emerging devices, e.g.,
qubits, memristors, spintronics, and graphene. Building such computing engines
requires a full-stack interdisciplinary approach, encompassing fabrication and
operation of qubits, electronic circuit design, micro-architecture,
programming models, compilers and simulator platforms.
QCE's research encompasses a broad range of applications, integrating multiple
layers of the stack:
* The computing and network architecture, including AI-oriented architectures, quantum architectures, neuromorphic architectures, computation-in-memory architectures, big-data architectures and secure architectures.
* The interface to the technology, including cryo-CMOS circuit design, memristive-based and graphene-based circuit design, and test and reliability of integrated circuits.
* Related programming and support flow such as compilers, mapping tools and simulators.
To make quantum computing a reality, QCE is collaborating with QuTech, the
worldwide leading research centre on Quantum Technology, Computing and
Internet founded by TU Delft and the Netherlands Organisation for Applied
Scientific Research (TNO). Together, they are working intensively on
developing, designing and prototyping scalable quantum computing engines based
on different quantum technologies. Such technologies include superconducting
qubits, spin-based qubits, Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centres in diamond and
topological qubits.
QCE is inviting applications for an assistant professor in large-scale
photonic circuits for quantum information processing and quantum computing. In
this position, you will focus on the development of large-scale photonic
circuits for color centres in diamonds as essential parts of quantum computing
engines. The research is envisaged to include topics such as:
* Single-photon detector array
* On-chip cryogenic optical switches
* Design, fabrication and characterisation of photonic circuits for quantum information processing
* Large-scale photonic circuits for machine learning
You will also collaborate on circuits, architectures and compilers for other
emerging computing platforms and actively participate in multidisciplinary
collaboration with colleagues within QCE as well as within QuTech, QuTech's
Quantum Internet division and the QuTech-Fujitsu partnership.
In this role, you will contribute to developing and teaching nanoelectronics
and photonics courses and educational programmes at BSc and MSc level. |

application of extremely short light pulses, in the attosecond and extreme
ultraviolet range. The activities span from ultrafast laser technology and
extreme nonlinear optics to studies of the electron dynamics in atoms and
molecules as well as more complex systems using attosecond light pulses.
**Work duties and project**
We propose four different projects:
1. Attosecond electron wave packets. The project consists of studying the quantum state of electron wavepackets generated by absorption of attosecond light pulses. This includes the development of methods for measurements of the wavepacket coherence properties. The project contains theory and experiments at the attosecond laboratory.
2. Electron pair entanglement. The project consists of creating an entangled electron pair via double ionization of an atom and of characterizing it. The project is mainly experimental using a high repetition rate attosecond pulse source and three-dimensional photoelectron spectroscopy.
3. Laser development and applications. The goal is to continue the development of a short-pulse laser system in the infrared range (1.8 mm) and to explore applications, especially the generation of attosecond pulses with high photon energy.
4. Intense attosecond pulses in the extreme ultraviolet range. The project includes the development, optimisation and characterization of a laser-driven source of intense attosecond pulses together with studies of ultrafast dynamics in atoms, molecules or plasmas with these pulses.
The main duties of doctoral students are to devote themselves to their
research studies, which includes participating in research projects and third
cycle courses. The work duties can also include teaching and other
departmental duties (no more than 20%).

PhD Iin chemistry (H/F) : synthesis of gold(III) complexes for asymmetric
catalysis |
Laboratoire de Chimie de Coordination, UPR CNRS 8241
In recent years, gold catalysis has gained considerable importance, given the
efficiency of many systems in atom- and step-saving reactions. Despite
remarkable progress, enantioselective variants have not flourished as rapidly
and still remain a challenge in terms of both generality and efficiency. In
particular, we are only at the very beginning of asymmetric Au(III) catalysis
even if chiral Au(III) catalysts appear to be very attractive due to their
square planar geometry. This project thus aims to contribute to fundamental
research in the field of asymmetric cycloisomerizations and domino reactions
involving gold(III) complexes associated with chiral carbene ligands. We will
take advantage of the four available coordination sites around the metal
center of gold(III) to introduce chirality at different positions and
geometries in order to optimize the chirality transfer in the studied
reactions. One aspect of the topic will also be to study the reactivity vs.
stability of gold(III) complexes. New catalytic systems based on gold(III)
will be generated by chemical means in Toulouse or by electrosynthesis in
collaboration with a PhD student in Nice. |

Researcher - Atomistic modeling of segregation of carbon atoms in binary Fe-C
system at crystal defects (W/M) |
The simulations, based on the QA, will be carried out using the code already
developed in GPM. In this context, GPM programming might be considered. The
simulations will be performed on the CRIANN supercomputer.
The candidate will collaborate in his work with our partners of the Max Planck
institute in Düsseldorf, Germany
The candidate will be hired in the context of the project ANR C-TRAM (project
“Redistribution of carbon at austenite/martensite interface during martensitic
phase transformation”). This project is started in 2018.
Martensitic steels are of high applicational relevance due to their
extraordinary strength and the adjustability of their strength, toughness and
formability over a wide range by simple technological treatments. The bulk
properties of martensitic steels are sensitively depending on the volume
fraction, morphology, composition and intrinsic properties of the martensitic
phase. These are determined by the local structural processes during the
austenite-to-martensite transformation as well as the post-processing of the
martensite. In addition, the interaction of solutes with this interface and,
more generally, with structural defects is known to have a major influence on
the mobilities of austenite/ferrite interface.
In this project we will primarily work on the binary Fe-C system. The main
goal of this project is to apply the atomistic model, based on the Onsager
kinetic equation, to simulate the segregation phenomena of carbon atoms at
different type of structural defects: dislocations, grain boundaries and
austenite/ferrite interface. The development of the atomistic approach will
have two main objectives. The first will be to make quantitative the numerical
approach based of the Quasi-Particules (QA) model developed by the ERAFEN team
from GPM, in order to simulate the segregation phenomena in real materials.
Special attention will be paid to segregation phenomena of carbon atoms at
dislocations. In the second time the simulation results will be compared with
available experimental data.
The GPM (Groupe de Physique des Matériaux, UMR CNRS 6634) can be divided in 5
departments : Materials Aging-Mechanics/Scientific Instruments, Nanoscience,
Disordered systems-Polymers, and Nano-Health-Physics. It gathers 160 working
people, including 60 Teachers-researchers, 30 ITA and 70 PhD/Post-
docs/Internships. The laboratory is located on the Campus Sciences et
Ingénierie Rouen Normandie (Rouen), which belongs to the University of
Normandy and the INSA Rouen Normandy school (7000m2). The hired researcher
will assigned to the Science and Mechanics of Materials department, and will
join the ERAFEN team (fundamental aspects of phase transitions at nanoscale-9
permanent researchers and teachers, 1 research engineer, 1 post-doc and 4 PD
students). This team is specialized in the modelling and the simulation of
phase transitions in materials, notably by means of phase-field and phase-
field crystals/Quasi-Particles. |

Post-doctoral position in Combustion Physics |
**Subject description**
Ammonia has been suggested as a sustainable fuel for shipping engines, which
has spured scientific research in ammonia combustion during the last decade.
The combustion chemistry of ammonia is not fully understood, in particular
questions remain in relation to its co-combustion with heavy hydrocarbon fuels
like diesel. A postdoc will be hired to work in the EU project ENGIMMONIA, a
collaboration between European universities and industry with the aims to
develop all aspects of using ammonia as a fuel in shipping engines, to promote
future sustainable shipping. The postdoc hired at the division of Combustion
Physics will have a sole focus on development of reduced chemical kinetic
mechanisms, which will be used in CFD simulations by other project partners.
The chemical kinetic mechanisms will include the two fuels ammonia and
