Project Description:
The Computational Sciences and Engineering Division at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) anticipates and invites applications for multiple, interdisciplinary positions at the post-MS level in the areas of distributed climate statistics, hydrologic modeling, and earth science informatics.
The position in distributed hydrologic modeling requires a strong background in surface hydrological processes, mathematical model development, as well as object-oriented and/or GIS based software coding. The position in climate statistics requires a background in climate and hydrologic sciences as well as in the data sciences (e.g., statistics, data mining and/or nonlinear dynamics, especially for time series and space-time data). The position in earth science informatics requires a background and interest in the climate or hydrologic sciences, as well as in the areas of management, analysis, mining, and visualization of geographic data.
Exceptional candidates in computer / computational sciences or statistics and data mining, with strong background and interdisciplinary expertise in data mining, nonlinear dynamics or geographic information systems, are encouraged to apply as long as there is demonstrable interest in the science of climate change or climate change impacts. Civil and environmental engineers with research focus in hydrology, hydro-meteorology or hydro-climate, with interests in climate change impacts, water resources, natural hazards, and infrastructural or societal risk analysis, are especially encouraged to apply.
Interested applicants may contact Auroop Ganguly (gangulyar@ornl.gov) if there are specific questions about the position. A detailed CV with complete list of publications and a few paragraphs describing prior research experience and future interests are required with the application. A copy of one or two (maximum) papers or manuscripts may be submitted.
Qualifications:
This position requires a master’s degree in earth or geosciences, computer sciences, or mathematics/statistics. Applicants cannot have received the most recent degree more than five years prior to the date of application and must complete all degree requirements before starting their appointment.
How to Apply:
Qualified applicants must apply online at www2.orau.gov/ORNL_POST. All applicants will need to register before they can begin the online application. For complete instructions, on how to apply, please see the instructions at www.orau.gov/orise/edu/ornl/ornl-pdpm/application.htm. When applying for this position, please reference the position title and number.
This appointment is offered through the ORNL Postgraduate Research Participation Program and is administered by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE). The position is open to citizens or legal permanent residents of the US or Canada without regard to race, color, age, religion, sex, national origin, physical or mental disability, or status as a Vietnam-era veteran or disabled veteran.
PhD Studentship in Drug Engineering - University of Oxford :
Beasiswa Scholarships : Research Studentship in Nanoparticle Drug DeliveryUniversity of Oxford - Department of Engineering Science
A fully funded 3 year studentship in Nanoparticle Drug Delivery is available from October 2010. The successful candidate will work in the area of Drug and Vaccine Delivery at the Departments' Institute of Biomedical Engineering in Headington.
You are likely to hold a first-class degree in a relevant area of engineering (biomedical, chemical or pharmaceutical engineering), materials, pharmaceutical sciences or other relevant subject, and possess good experimental, analytical and computational skills and an interest in drug delivery.
Experience in nanoparticle and microparticle manufacturing methods as well as scientific programming together with evidence of high self-motivation and good organisational skills are desirable. The ability to work in an interdisciplinary team and to communicate scientific ideas clearly, orally and in writing with the interpersonal skills necessary to contribute effectively to a collaborative project would be advantageous.
This studentship will fund home or overseas University fees over three years together with a stipend currently of £13,900 per annum.
Candidates are expected to meet the Graduate Admissions criteria available at http://www.eng.ox.ac.uk/postgrad/criteria.pdf and a full graduate application must be made at the same time as applying for this studentship. Further details about making a graduate application are available at http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/postgraduate/apply
Please send a letter of application for the studentship, which should explain your interest in and relevant experience for the advertised post, together with a detailed CV to: Mrs Debbie Wyatt, PA to the Senior Administrator, Department of Engineering Science, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PJ.
Please quote DF10036 in all correspondence to the Department and in your graduate application.
The closing date for applications is 15th July 2010
