DOCTORAL POSITION IN SWISS FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF AQUATIC SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY SWITZERLAND 2011

PhD Position on the Global Biogeochemical Cycle of Selenium at Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology Switzerland 2011

Study Subject(s): Global Biogeochemical Cycle of Selenium
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: Swiss National Science Foundation
Scholarship can be taken at: Switzerland

Eligibility: We are looking for a skilled and highly motivated person interested in challenging interdisciplinary research and enthusiastic about the development and application of analytical laboratory techniques. The successful candidate holds a master degree in environmental sciences, geosciences or chemistry and has a strong background in analytical chemistry.

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: The offered PhD position is part of an interdisciplinary research project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation that aims to advance understanding of the global biogeochemical cycle of selenium. Selenium is an element that is naturally occurring in the environment and of key importance to human health. In the frame of this project two work programs have been defined that address important open questions concerning natural sources, emissions, speciation and fate of selenium in the environment. Each work program represents the topic of one doctoral thesis.
will be part of the first work program, which targets to improve the understanding and quantification of biogenic production of methylated Se and S in the marine and terrestrial environment. Marine environments are presumed to be a major natural source of Se to the atmosphere. Also in terrestrial environments such as in peatbogs, selenium can be transformed into highly volatile methylated Se compounds that are emitted into the atmosphere. Nevertheless, the processes leading to formation of marine and terrestrial atmospheric selenium compounds are still largely unknown and need to be understood.

Sweden Scholarships : Four Postdoctoral Positions in Physics with specialization in RF systems and accelerator physics

Sweden Scholarships : Four Postdoctoral Positions in Physics with specialization in RF systems and accelerator physics
July 22, 2011 by info
Filed under: Postdoctoral Fellowships, Sweden Fellowship, Sweden Postdoctoral, Sweden Scholarships

Uppsala University hereby declares the following position to be open for application:

Four Postdoctoral Positions in Physics with specialization in RF systems and accelerator physics

at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Division of High-Energy Physics, Accelerator Physics group. The position is for a period of two years. Starting date September, 1 or as agreed upon, preferably as soon as possible.

The accelerator physics group performs research towards future particle accelerators with special interest in the impact of electro-magnetic fields on particle beams and the high power radio frequency (RF) systems required to power the accelerating structures. The group is collaborating since many years in the CLIC project for which the university has built in Two-Beam Test Stand in CTF3 at CERN in Geneva. The group participates also in FEL projects for which the University has built an optical replica synthesizer (ORS) at FLASH and will build a “laser heater” for XFEL, both at DESY in Hamburg. The group has recently started a collaboration with the European Spallation Source (ESS) in which the university will build a superconducting RF test facility in Uppsala.

Functions: Research focused on particle accelerators’ RF system and interaction between the particle beam and electro-magnetic fields and supervision of doctoral students.

Project description: The project studies the fundamental limits of future accelerators which are their microwave structures and radio frequency (RF) distribution systems as well as the effects of electro-magnetic fields on particle beams. Studies of radio frequency (RF) distribution systems include active and passive high-power microwave components required for the RF system development and is focused on reducing energy consumption. To this purpose, the project will construct a 1.5 MW – 704 MHz RF test stand at the Ångström Laboratory for the development of RF-distribution systems and prepare a Technical Design Report for the RF distribution system to the ESS (before end 2012). The origin of RF discharges and the impact of electro-magnetic fields on the particle beam are studied to determine tolerances and limits for accelerators. The project will construct diagnostic systems to study the origin of RF discharges and the effect of electro-magnetic fields on the particle beam. The researcher will participate in the running of the experiments, collection and analysis of data. The work will be carried out in collaboration with institutes in Sweden and abroad.

Qualifications required: PhD in physics, electronics or microwave technology. For appointment as Post Doctor it is required that the candidate has completed a doctoral degree no longer than three years before the application deadline. We are looking for qualified and motivated candidates with a strong interest in experimental methods and skills to build scientific instruments. Previous experience in microwave or accelerator physics is an advantage. Good oral and written proficiency in English are desirable as well as the capacity to work both independently and in a team and willingness to travel.

Uppsala University is striving to achieve a more even gender balance in its research and teaching staff and women are especially invited to apply for this position.

Salary will be set according to the successful applicant’s qualifications.

Applications should include a brief description of research interests and relevant experience, CV, copies of certificates and diplomas, doctoral thesis (or a draft thereof), list of publications and other documents which the applicant wishes to claim. We prefer that you provide names and contact details of referees or attach recommendation letters.

For further information about the position, please contact Roger Ruber, e-mail: roger.ruber@physics.uu.se, telephone +41-22 767 9449.

The Dahlem Research School at Freie Universität Berlin has established a new research fellowship program called COFUND for international researchers. The program is co-funded by the Marie Curie COFUND program of the European Commission. Its purpose is to reinforce the international dimension of junior researchers by supporting highly-qualified postdocs from abroad.

For this purpose, Dahlem Research School offers

Postdoctoral Fellowships

Starting in January 2012, each research fellowship is awarded for fifteen months to support postdocs carrying out their research projects in one of Freie Universität’s Excellence Programs.

We expect you to propose your own project plan focusing on the research area of your own choice, based on the research areas of the participating Excellence Programs.

The program is designed to support the further academic career development of the researchers by enhancing their research experience integrated in excellent research groups, by facilitating new co-operations in a stimulating research environment, as well as by promoting their teaching and leadership skills. Aiming at submitting a successful grant application for a subsequent project at the Freie Universität by the end of the fellowship, the program will provide professional guidance essential to preparing grant proposals.

Deadline for applications: August 31st 2011

Incomplete applications and applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered. Please check your documents carefully before submission.
