PhD Scholarship in Biomechanics / Biorobotics, Bielefeld University, Germany
Posted on | Sabtu, 19 Februari 2011 | No Comments
A PhD scholarship in Biomechanics/Biorobotics has been announced under the EU-FP7 program at Bielefeld University, Germany. In the EU-funded FP7-Project EMICAB (Embodied Motion Intelligence for Cognitive, Autonomous Robots), the University of Bielefeld (Germany) invites applications for a part-time position as research assistant (PhD student) for the duration of three years. The positions are remunerated 50% of E13 (according to TV-L West, German public service). The salary scale typically ranges between 19200 and 22400 Eur p.a., depending on work experience.
The positions on offer are embedded into an excellent interdisciplinary environment with intensive contacts to various facilities and workgroups of Bielefeld University. In particular, this includes the Center of Excellence in Cognitive Interaction Technology, CITEC. The EU-project (www.emicab.eu) as a whole is formed by the Biomechatronics lab and the Neuroethology lab of Bielefeld University (coordinator), a Systems Engineering lab at the University of Catania, Italy, a Sensor Technology lab at the University of Southern Denmark in Sønderborg, and a Neurogenetics lab at the University of Mainz, Germany.
Goal of the EMICAB-project is the abstraction of neuro-ethological and neuro-genetic research results in the context of autonomous walking movements to generate artificial neural network models for intelligent behaviour. In parallel, a novel six-legged walking robot is being assembled and – within the project – expanded by rich body sensorisation and additional actuation.
The position is in the area of Neuroethology/Biomechanics with a relation to Biorobotics. The successful candidate should hold a master or diploma degree, preferably in biology or neuroscience. Advanced experimental and theoretical skills in Neurobiology (sensorimotor systems) and/or Biomechanics (whole-body kinematics, force measurements) are advantageous as well as sound experience in the analysis of multi-dimensional data. Candidates with a background in a related area within the computer sciences (e.g. bio-inspired robotics) are also encouraged to apply. Participation in administrative and organizational tasks of the EU-project is also expected. The position is suited to conduct a PhD-project.
Please send your application with the usual documents (cover letter, CV and transcripts as well as the name and contact information of two references) – also electronically in pdf-format.

PhD position in Material Science, Luxembourg
Posted on | Kamis, 17 Februari 2011 | No Comments
The Centre de Recherche Public - Gabriel Lippmann, a public establishment for applied scientific research and technology transfer, has an opening on a temporary contract basis for its department "Science and Analysis of Materials" (SAM) that focuses in the following fields: characterization of materials, surface treatment and thin films, instrumental developments, nanotechnologies and nanomaterials.
Duties and responsibilities:
Plasma polymer thin coatings deposited by means of an atmospheric CVD plasma process is an innovative way to protect polymers and in particular biopolymers, against damaging from the environment. Furthermore, such a process can be adapted to be implemented into industry and is considered as a “green” process. In this PhD program, the development of multilayer coatings for particular protective application will be carried out. The link between coatings structure and their protective properties will be particularly emphasized. The PhD program will involve two different areas namely coating processing and material characterizations. The new category of protective coatings will be produced by plasma polymerization. Thus, this study will give us a deeper knowledge for the growth of plasma polymer films and also, on plasma nanocomposite coatings.
Description
Qualifications:
- The candidate should hold a Master degree in sciences, preferably in physics, chemistry, materials, surface sciences.
- The candidate has to be motivated, structured and self-responsible in young and diversified research departments. This PhD program will be carried out in Luxembourg.
- The applicant must show his/her willingness to develop good skills in the fields of experimental investigations and characterization techniques.
- The candidate must be fluent in English (scientific exchanges), French (administrative language) is considered as an asset.
Application details
Candidates who are interested in the above position should send their application (with the above reference) including CV, motivation letter and names of 1-2 referees either by e-mail to recrutement@lippmann.lu (format: .doc or .pdf) or by regular mail to:
