[Italy] PhD Scholarships in Economics, Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia

1 Comment  Doctoral, Italy

The Advanced School of Economics (in Italian: Scuola Superiore di Economia, or SSE for short) runs two doctoral programs: one in Economics and one in Business.

The Doctoral Program in Economics (DEC) and the Doctoral Program in Business (DEA) emanate from the Department of Economics and the Department of Business Management at the University of Venice. The School coordinates these two programs, that share several first-year courses and a common philosophy. Since 2008, the School has taken over over the activities of a third doctoral program in Economics and Organisation that used to be run as part of the School for Advanced Studies in Venice.

The School is based in Venice and offers only courses at a doctoral level. The official language is English. The current Director is Agar Brugiavini.

DEC: Application 2008
The deadline for applying to DEC is May 20, 2008. Notice of admission for DEC will be given by June 9, 2008. Classes start on September 1, 2008.

DEC will admit up to ten students, seven of which will be fully financed (including tuition fees and living stipend). One position in DEC will be preferentially assigned to students with an interest in Mathematical Methods for Economics. The School provides subsidized housing to all first-year students.

Admission is based on the evaluation of applicants’ curriculum, research interests, and reference letters. Applications must include a curriculum vitae, a statement of purpose (covering research interests) and three letters of reference (one of which should also vouch for the candidate’s adequate knowledge of the English language). If available, any published work or working paper should also be included. Enclosing GRE and TOEFL results is highly recommended, but not (yet) required. Documentation should be submitted in English (preferably) or Italian language.

An application to DEC must abide by the statute of the “Bando” (Official Advert) as officially published online by the University of Venice. (This direct link may expire after May 20, 2008.) The official version of the Bando is available from the website of the University of Venice following the path Offerta Formativa -> Dottorato di Ricerca -> Scuola Superiore di Economia - SSE. You can also download a copy of the Bando using this link.

For more information about applications to DEC, please contact Marta Colombini (martacol@unive.it; tel.: +39-041-234-7963).

[UK] PhD Studetnship at the Department of Management Science, University of Strathclyde
Applications are invited for a 3.5 year PhD scholarship, funded by an EPSRC Mathematics CASE award in conjunction with Simul8. The aim of this research is to apply new methods from multivariate statistics and decision theory to support analysis of parameter uncertainty and parameter quantification in Discrete Event Simulation (DES). DES is concerned with developing complex stochastic models and obtaining inference on the influence that several input parameters have on specified performance measures through Monte Carlo simulation. Specifically this project will investigate the use of Empirical Bayesian methods which can use data from existing simulation runs at different input parameter settings to estimate the variability of output measures as input parameter settings are changed. The department of Management Science is an energetic research active department with interests that cover a wide spectrum of interdisciplinary applied operational research. Information on the department can be found at www.managementscience.org Information about Simul8 can be found at www.simul8.com Applicants should be UK residents with a 1st or upper 2nd class degree in a quantitative subject area. A masters degree in Operational Research / Management Science/Statistics would be an advantage, but is not essential.

[Australia] PhD in CFD of Biofuel Engines, the University of New South Wales
Several PhD studentship opportunities are available at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, for outstanding candidates. Biofuels have much potential as a low greenhouse-gas replacement to fossil fuels. To realise this potential, internal combustion engines need to be optimised for biofuel operation. Applications are sought for PhD studentships to develop advanced Large Eddy Simulation models for internal combustion engines running biofuels. Topics include: knock in ethanol and flex-fuel spark-ignition engines, autoignition of ethanol stratified-charge compression ignition engines. Both projects involve collaboration with leading experimental groups, and working with large-scale Direct Numerical Simulation data-sets. Candidates should possess an excellent grasp of CFD, chemistry, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, computational methods and programming. Direct experience with IC-engine CFD is highly desirable. Scholarships cover A$20,000/annum towards fees, and provide a monthly stipent of A$2,500. Please note that these scholarships are highly competitive. Successful scholarship recipients typically have an exceptional academic record that is demonstrably within the top few percent at a good school.

[Netherlands] PhD Scholarship on Biocatalysis, University of Groningen
Four-year PhD scholarship on biocatalysis Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy, University of Groningen, The Netherlands Project description It concerns a 4-year research project aimed at the exploration of proline-based biocatalysts for catalyzing non-natural carbonyl transformation reactions. The work involves the extensive screening for aldolase, alkylation, decarboxylation, and Michael addition activities in several well-known tautomerases. The target activities or products will be identified by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy (e.g., in an 96/384-well format), HPLC, LC-MS, GC-MS and NMR. Of the best enzymes, a detailed mechanistic characterization will be carried out, using kinetic and pH studies as well as site-directed mutagenesis. In collaboration with other members of the research group, the most promising enzymes that show the desired activity will be used in engineering experiments to enhance or extent the activity to a practical level.

[Spain] PhD Scholarships in BioInformatics, the Rovira i Virgili University of Tarragona
OFFERING OF 4 YEAR PHD SCHOLARSHIPS IN BIOINFORMATICS IN TARRAGONA (SPAIN) The research group SIPOMICS (SIgnal Processing for OMIC Sciences) is seeking candidates to grant two 4-year PhD scholarships at the Electronic Department of the Rovira i Virgili University of Tarragona (Spain). The main research topic of the scholarship can be classified under the general term of Bioinformatics (Signal Processing for Biology). In the thesis, the main tasks of the phD candidate will be the development and application of advanced signal processing algorithms and artificial intelligent data analysis methods to handle data from biomedical instrumentation such as High Resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (HR-NMR). The research will be clinically oriented to apply the algorithms to real biomedical applications. The research group is tightly related to a Metabolomic Platform recently created which is equipped with state of the art 600 and 500 NMR machines with Cryoprobes and HR-MAS probes for the measuring of biofluids and tissues. Tarragona is a medium city (100,000 inhabitants) with a Mediterranean climate and many recreation opportunities (nice beaches, theme parks, touristic resorts and facilities). It is located 100 km Southwest of Barcelona (1 hour drive) and it is well communicated by train, highways and even low cost flights from its own airport.
