Multiple scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of candidates’ academic performance and demonstrated passion for computer science. A group of Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD students will be chosen from the applicant pool. Applications will be reviewed by a committee of researchers and engineers. The scholarship recipients will each receive a € 7,000 (or equivalent) scholarship for the 2010/2011 academic year.

In June 2010, all scholarship recipients will be invited to visit Google’s Engineering Centre in Zurich for an all-expenses-paid networking retreat. It will include workshops with a series of speakers, panels, breakout sessions and social activities, and will provide an opportunity to meet and share experiences.

Eligibility requirements

Candidates must be:

• A student entering the final year of a Bachelor’s degree, or enrolled in a Master’s or PhD programme (or equivalent), in 2010/2011.
• Enrolled at a University in Europe. Citizens, permanent residents, and international students with disabilities studying at a University in Europe are eligible to apply.
• Studying Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Informatics, or a closely related technical field.
• A person with a disability. The term persons with disabilities is used to apply to all persons with disabilities including those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which, in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.

The coming years will show a proliferation of Global and Regional Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS/RNSS). This promise of a broader multi-frequency, multi-constellation “system of systems” has the potential to enable a wide range of demanding applications for high-accuracy Australian GNSS/RNSS users.
PhD Scholarship in GNSS at Curtin University  To improve Australia’s capability in utilising the next generation GNSSs and to come to a fullest exploitation of the opportunities created, Curtin University of Technology will establish a new GNSS research group. The group’s research programme aims at developing theory, models and methods that will enable future GNSSs to fulfil the highaccuracy
and high-integrity requirements of tomorrow’s geospatial information needs in the Earth-, atmospheric- and space-sciences.
This GNSS programme is also timely because of the forthcoming GNSS CORS
network across Australia as part of the AuScope Geospatial programme. This will provide an excellent large-area ‘field laboratory’ in which to first test, then implement, the results generated by this programme. The GNSS group will use state-of-the-art equipment and software, and involve close collaborative links with other universities, industry and government, both in Australia and overseas.
Applications
Applications are invited for 4 PhD positions in the following thematic areas:

1. GNSS surveying and geodesy (e.g., RTK, PPP and CORS networks),
2. GNSS remote sensing (e.g., meteorology, reflectometry, ionospheric sounding)
3. Air/space-based GNSS applications (e.g., relative navigation, attitude determination, formation-flying)
4. GNSS software receiver (e.g., design/implementation, CDMA DSP)
5. GNSS quality control (e.g., integrity theory, ambiguity resolution, validation)

Applications are invited for an inter-school PhD studentship at Cardiff University, based in the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Group, School of Psychology, and the Wolfson Centre for Magnetics, School of Engineering. This is a unique opportunity for an enthusiastic and dedicated student to play a pivotal role in the Integrated Brain Imaging and Stimulation Project (IBIS), a collaborative grant funded by the Welsh Assembly Government between the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC), the Wolfson Centre for Magnetics, and The Magstim Company.

In particular, the PhD project will focus on the design and implementation of deep-brain stimulation methods for TMS, and on the development and application of simultaneous TMS and magnetic resonance imaging at CUBRIC.

The 3-year studentship is £13,290 per annum plus tuition fees and will commence on April 1st, 2010. The student will be jointly supervised by Dr Chris Chambers (School of Psychology) and Professor David Jiles (School of Engineering).

Prospective applicants are advised that a second PhD position on this project is also available, via the Knowledge Economy Skills Scholarship (KESS) programme. Concurrent applications for the current studentship and this additional position are welcomed. For informal enquires, please contact Dr Chris Chambers (chambersc1-at-cardiff.ac.uk).

The Wind Energy Division at Risø DTU, Technical University of Denmark, is seeking a PhD fellow (employee) to work on the improvement and validation of a engineering aerodynamic models for wind turbines. This PhD position is associated with the Marie Curie Initial Training Programme, SYS.WIND. As part of the SYS.WIND project, the PhD student will be involved in an international network of young researchers, focused around different aspects of system identification, condition and health monitoring. Applicants for PhD positions need to be within the first five years (of full-time equivalent) of their careers in research. Applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the organization they are applying to for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the recruitment.

Job Description
This PhD position is concerned with improving and refining existing engineering models for dynamic stall and stall delay. Engineering models are widely used in industry, and further development of the models based on the newest experimental data supplemented by Computational Fluid Dynamics studies will be important for the predictive capability of modern aeroelastic codes. Additionally, the aerodynamics is an essential part of understanding the load situations experience by a turbine during its lifetime.

The PhD employee’s main focus will be to combining results from existing Navier-Stokes computations, model experiments of airfoils and rotors in wind tunnels (NREL Phase-VI and MEXICO) and full scale experiments (DanAero).

Qualifications
Candidates should have a master’s degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree in engineering. You are expected to have good written and oral communication skills in English. Previous experience with wind turbine aerodynamics, analyzing measurements, CFD, C/Fortran programming and project management would be considered an advantage. To qualify for the Fellowship, you must satisfy the requirements of a Marie Curie Early-Stage Researcher (ESR) and also the mobility requirements, both as defined in the Guide for Applicants (click on the Information Package bullet).
