CURTIN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, TO ESTABLISH NEW GNSS RESEARCH GROUP (4 PhD positions)

Background
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.

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 high-accuracy and high-integrity requirements of tomorrow’s geospatial information needs in the Earth-, atmospheric- and space-sciences.

The “Vienna PhD School of Informatics” call for applications, addressing Austrian as well as international students, is now open.

In brief, the Vienna University of Technology offers a three year programme following the five main research areas of the Faculty of Informatics:

• Business Informatics
• Computational Intelligence
• Computer Engineering
• Distributed and Parallel Systems
• Media Informatics and Visual Computing

A fully funded PhD studentship in Bioinformatics is available in the research group of Prof. Cathal Seoighe at the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics, National University of Ireland Galway. The position is not tied to a specific research project and the successful applicant will have the freedom to choose a project from any of the following research areas:

• Human transcriptome variation and disease
• Probabilistic models of HIV-1 evolution
• Immunoinformatics
• Other areas of mutual interest

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.
