Denmark: PhD Scholarships at The Graduate School for Integration, Production and Welfare, Aarhus School of Business
At the Department of Economics at Aarhus School of Business a number of PhD-scholarships will be available from January 1, 2007 or soon thereafter.
The PhD-scholarships are placed within the Graduate School for Integration, Production and Welfare.
2 scholarships are affiliated with the Department of Economics at Aarhus School of Business and the Danish National Institute of Social Research.
1 scholarship is partly funded by the Nordic Centre of Excellence in Empirical Labour Economics and affiliated with the Department of Economics at Aarhus School of Business.
The PhD-scholarships are offered within quantitative analyses of labour market and welfare policies, including e.g. analysis of the effects of labour market programmes, the effects of programmes in relation to children, youth, families, immigrants or elderly, or the use of economic incentives in employment or integration policies. The aim is to analyse different types of interventions targeting these groups, and to develop and apply econometric methods for evaluating programmes using micro data.

Denmark: PhD Scholarship of Semiconductor Lasers in Arrays of Nano-Scale Optical Resonators
In connection with the launching of a
research project financed by the Danish Research Council for Technology
and Production a PhD scholarship is available. The project is a
collaboration between COM-DTU at the Technical University of Denmark
(DTU) and Alight Technologies A/S.
The goals of the research project are to develop the scientific tools
and fabrication technologies needed for realizing semiconductor lasers
in arrays of nano-scale optical resonators. The small volume of each
resonator and the arrayed structure enables dramatic improvements in
overall laser performance, such as very high modulation rate, high
output power and improved energy efficiency.
The successful applicant will perform optical design, work with device
fabrication in DTU`s cleanroom facilities and characterize components
in the optical laboratories of the nanophotonics division at COM-DTU.
In addition, Alight Technologies A/S will provide access to their
characterization setup and consultancy in aspects of design and process
development. The project will entail both fundamental scientific
investigations as well as device development with an eye on commercial
exploitation.
Candidates for the position should have a master’s degree in
engineering or physics and have a good experimental and/or theoretical
background in optoelectronics, optics or solid-state materials physics.

UK: Postgraduate Studentship in Information Technology at Queen`s University Belfast
Postgraduate Studentship
Reasoning with Uncertainty and Inconsistency in Structured Scientific Knowledge
The Department of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
A postgraduate studentship is available to work on an EPSRC-funded
collaborative project entitled above (starting in January 2007)
between (UCL) and (QUB). The award covers university fees for three
years, plus an additional student stipend of £12,300.
Project Summary
There is a huge and rapidly expanding amount of information available
for scientists in various online resources. However, this wealth of
information has created challenges for scientists who wish to locate
and analyse knowledge from heterogeneous sources. Key problems that
exist are that there is much uncertainty in individual sources of
scientific knowledge, and many conflicts arising between different
sources of scientific knowledge. Scientists therefore need tools that
are tolerant of uncertainty and inconsistency in order to query and
merge scientific knowledge.
