Bauhaus-University Weimar in Germany offer Ten PhD Positions

Study Subject:

• Civil Engineering ,Structural and Soil Mechanics/Dynamics ,Materials Science ,Applied Mathematics & Computer Science

Employer: Bauhaus-Universität Weimar
Level: PhD

The overall aim of the Research training group is to assess the reliability, safety and robustness of numerical models. This evaluation considers a wide range of aspects and models. This includes, but is not restricted to, models that describe loads or the material and structural behavior of systems in structural engineering. Of particular interest are the interactions of these models in complex systems. Their influence on the quality of models of complex coupled systems is to be determined. (more…)

PhD position in Electric Power Systems at KTH School of Electrical Engineering

Overview
KTH School of Electrical Engineering seeks a PhD candidate in Electric Power Systems Project title: Design, control and operation planning of Multi-Terminal DC Transmission Systems (MT-DCTS)

KTH is the largest technical university in Sweden. Education and research cover a broad spectrum within natural sciences and engineering, as well as architecture, industrial engineering and management, urban planning, work science and environmental engineering. There are circa 12,000 full-year undergraduate students, 1,400 postgraduate students and 3,100 employees.

The School of Electrical Engineering conducts research and education on the highest international level in Electric Power Engineering, Fusion and Space Plasma Physics, Telecommunications, and Networks, Information and Control Systems (NICS). (more…)

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to complement our research team at the Department of Biomedicine, Basel University Hospital (Laboratory for Signal Transduction), Switzerland. Our lab focuses on delineating how cell adhesion molecule T-cadherin regulates signal transduction, cell morphology and motogenic behaviour in endothelial cells and tumor cells. Our studies provide functional and molecular insights into mechanisms linking progression of cardiovascular/metabolic disease and cancer. We apply divers in vitro and in vivo techniques encompasing cell biology, molecular biology, biichemistry and microscopy.

The candidate is expected to posses flexibility with respect to learning and using our portfolio of techniques. A solid practical background in molecular biology and cell biology/signal transduction is advantageous. Only serious and hardworking students with good interperseonal abilities/skills should apply.

Requierements for the PhD position are master’s diploma, or equivalent acceptable for immatriculation at the University of Basel, preferably in biochemistry, molecular biology, or cell biology. Excellent knowlege of written and oral communication skills in english is essential. Knowledge of written and spoken German would be beneficial. (more…)
