The MSc program in Computer Science (www.unive.it/msc-computer-science), offered by Università Ca' Foscari Venezia - Italy, takes two years of full-time study, and is suitable for students with diverse academic backgrounds.
The course unfolds into three semesters of full-time lectures and lab experience on practical exercises. During the last semester students work on an individual project and dissertation.
The program covers the theory and practice of a wide spectrum of fields in Computer Science and Information Technology.
Two suggested sub-programs, resulting from selecting a specific group of elective courses, are the following:
The (1) Information Sciences and Intelligent Systems sub-program, and the (2) Software Dependability and IT Security sub-program.
Candidates who hold a foreign degree, equivalent to a tree-year Bachelor degree or higher in Computer Science or related subject (Computer/Electronic Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, etc.), and are proficient in English, can apply.
Candidates can ask for a pre-evaluation of their qualification and school career before starting the official enrolment procedure.This pre-evaluation is particularly important for non-EU citizens residing abroad, who have to apply within an early deadline (Apr 30th), and then submit a further pre-enrolment application to an Italian Diplomatic Delegation for obtaining the Italian Visa.

PhD position in Numerical Astrophysics at Chalmers University of Technology
PhD position in Numerical Astrophysics at Chalmers University of Technology
Overview
Onsala Space Observatory, the Swedish National Facility for Radio Astronomy, provides scientists with equipment to study the Earth and the rest of the Universe. We operate two radio telescopes in Onsala, 45 km south of Göteborg, and take part in several international projects. The observatory was founded in 1949 by professor Olof Rydbeck. It is hosted by Department of Earth and Space Sciences at Chalmers University of Technology, and is operated on behalf of the Swedish Research Council.
Job description
Planetary systems form in circumstellar discs of gas and dust. At any time, the dynamical state of these discs depends on the amount and type of matter present in them. The understanding of the evolution of discs requires the understanding of how matter and energy is transported through them. Ultimately, this energy is radiated away and it is the character of this radiation a distant observer needs to interpret properly.
This in turn requires the observer to have acquired adequate tools, both observational and theoretical. The PhD thesis will focus on the development and application of numerical models of radiative transfer through discs. These theoretical models will be compared to observational data obtained with ground- and space-based supertelescopes. The goal is to understand the architecture of planetary systems, including the proper place of our own solar system in this context.
PhD student positions are limited to five years and will normally include 20% departmental work, mostly teaching duties. The salary for the position is specified in Chalmers` general agreement for PhD student positions.
Required qualifications
Applicants must have a strong background in astrophysics and numerical methods. They must have obtained a master`s degree, a 4-year bachelor`s degree or expect to complete that degree by no later than July 15, 2011. Excellent knowledge of written as well as spoken English is also a requirement.
In addition to the required documents described below, the application shall include all relevant work such as bachelor`s or master`s thesis (or outline of a thesis under preparation) and articles (provide an English summary if necessary) that you have authored or co-authored, together with your letters of recommendation (see item 4 below).
Application procedure
The application shall be written in English and include the following items:
If any material is not available electronically or cannot be transferred to pdf format, the material can be sent as a hard copy to Registrar. The applicants name and the reference number (2011/27) must be written on the first page of the application.

PhD for Statistic and Mathematics
DepartmentJulius Center
The Theoretical Epidemiology and Biostatistics and Medical Technology Assessment groups will collaborate within a new project on the development of methods to assess the actual added value of implementing new diagnostic tests. Clinical prediction rules aim to provide a probability of the presence of a disease (diagnosis) or occurrence of a disease (prognosis) in an individual. The development of such prediction models is becoming increasingly popular, and newly developed diagnostic tests, such as biomarkers, may lead to improved prediction models. However, the evaluation of those prediction models is typically limited to an assessment of their predictive accuracy. As a result, the effects of applying new, or updated, prediction models on actual patient outcomes remain unknown. Within the field of health economics modeling methods have been developed to assess the balance between costs and effects (patient outcomes) for medical interventions. In this project we aim to use and extend these methods for the assessment of the added value of new diagnostic tests. In addition, we aim to develop methods that are able to quantify the effects of replacing an existing prediction model that is used in clinical practice with a new, or updated, prediction model. A new model may provide different risk estimates for patients, for example for cardiovascular disease, compared with the old model. As a result the preferred treatment option may also change for specific patient subgroups, and methods need to be developed to identify these subgroups. We will use statistical methods and simulation models as well as empirical data on the diagnosis deep vein thrombosis, the prognosis of cardiovascular outcomes, and the prognosis of traumatic brain injury. In collaboration with epidemiologists, statisticians and health economists you will investigate methods to assess diagnostic tests in general and clinical prediction rules in particular. Results will be described in scientific papers, and published in international, peer-reviewed journals. Based on the papers you will write a thesis, at the end of the project. For this project a 3-year temporary position is available, starting with a 1-year contract, followed by a 2-year contract when progress is satisfactory. During the project there is an opportunity to do a master of science program in clinical epidemiology. Website: www.msc-epidemiology.eu
Your profile
We are looking for someone who has (nearly) finished a master of science program (MSc) in which statistics, mathematics, or computer science play a prominent role. Experience with programming and data analysis techniques is an advantage, as well as experience with statistical software such as R, S-Plus, Mathematica or WinBUGS. Good communication skills are required, as well as in interest in methodological research within the field of clinical epidemiology and health economics.Your position
The research section Theoretical Epidemiology and Biostatistics conducts studies aiming to improve existing and to develop new methods for design and analysis of (clinical) epidemiological studies. The section focuses on the following themes: Developing innovative designs for diagnostic and prognostic (prediction) research, Developing innovative methods for quantifying the true or added value of (new) diagnostic and prognostic tests in a multivariable clinical context, Developing innovative methods for the validation and updating of so-called clinical prediction rules, Testing and improving sophisticated methods for dealing with missing values in epidemiologic research, Investigating innovative methods for meta-analysis and individual patient data-analysis of etiologic and therapeutic studies, Development of models to combine data from randomised and observational studies including genetic information, for estimating (long term) prognosis according to specific patient characteristics in addition to treatment effects. The research group Medical Technology Assessment conducts studies on the cost-effectiveness of new medical interventions, such as newly developed drugs, new surgical procedures or new screening strategies. Some of the focus areas of this group are: The cost-effectiveness analysis of blood safety measure, Cost-effectiveness of interventions to improve circulatory health, Development of new methods to support model-based cost-effectiveness analyses, Cost-effectiveness analysis of population screening strategies In both groups, the mentioned methodological themes are not only studied on a purely theoretical level, but are also illustrated by using empirical data from various medical disciplines. In collaboration these groups will start a new project on the development of methods to assess the actual added value of implementing new diagnostic tests.
