Postdoc Position: Smart reactors for Chemical Vapor Deposition, University of Groningen


Dr. Bayu Jayawardhana mencari kandidat dengan background systems & control theory, mechatronics, material sciences

============================================
Postdoc position at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands.

http://phdvacancy.com/postdoc-position-in-control-systems-smart-reactors-for-chemical-vapor-deposition-university-of-groningen/

The group of Discrete Technology and Production Automation from the Institute of Industrial Engineering and Management and the group of Nanostructured Materials and Interfaces from the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials.

Project title: Smart reactors for Chemical Vapor Deposition

General description: The final aim of the project is to develop fully-automated

CVD reactors through mechatronics re-design of the reactors with an emphasis on Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) reactors that are used by PHOTONIS. The postdoc candidate is expected to develop generic dynamical models of the CVD processes based on fundamental physical laws which are suitable for developing model-based feedback control systems and can describe the current CVD process at PHOTONIS. Distributed sensing and actuation methods will be explored in the project that improve the monitoring and control of the reactors. In order to understand the CVD process at PHOTONIS also initially a detailed analysis of the relation between process conditions, the structure of deposited films and the properties of the films is performed.

Research team profile:

The research group of Discrete Technology and Production Automation (DTPA) focuses on developing quantitative and analytical theories and methodologies for complex industrial processes and systems, such as autonomous robots, sensor networks, semiconductors, energy systems and space systems.
The research group of Nanostructured Materials and Interfaces focuses on establishing the relation between nanostructures and functional properties of materials with a direct application perspective.
PHOTONIS is a multinational high-technology group, with more than 40 years’ experience in manufacturing, sales and innovation, specializing in photo sensor technology. The Group operates internationally in the markets of Night Vision, Industrial, Scientific and Medical research.
Candidate profile:
We are looking for a candidate with a doctorate degree in the areas of systems & control theory, mechatronics and/or material sciences. Experience of the candidate with physical-chemistry modeling and semiconductor or crystallization processes is highly desirable. Prior work experience with Transmission Electron Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy and/or Chemical Vapor Deposition process is desirable.
Application procedure:
Applicants must submit the following documents:
- Curriculum vitae including a list of publications and a list of referees
- Statement of research interest
These documents should be emailed to Dr. Bayu Jayawardhana (bayujw@ieee.org).

14 PhD positions in Biology, University of Groningen, NL

Job opportunities in the Systems Biology Centre for Metabolism and Ageing

http://www.rug.nl/fmns-research/SystemsBiology/JobOpportunities

We are recruiting 14 PhD students/postdocs from various disciplines relevant for Systems Biology, including biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioinformatics, statistics, mathematics and theoretical biology.

Scientific excellence and enthusiasm will be the most important criteria for selection. Previous experience in Systems Biology or in research related to metabolism and/or ageing research is advantageous but not required.

Each of the 14 positions will be filled by either a postdoc or a PhD student. Postdoc positions will be for 3 years, PhD positions for 4 years. The conditions of employment comply with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Medical Centres / Dutch Universities. Successful applicants will be linked to specific projects, based on their own interests and the needs of the Centre.

Applications will be collected centrally. Applications, integrated in one pdf file, should consist of:

•a motivation letter, clearly stating how the prior expertise fits to the research program of the centre and also indicating a preference for one or more of the available projects;
•an extensive CV;
•two reference letters.

For general information about the Centre, contact one of the members of the Management Team

The following 14-projects are currently available:

1 position, Work Package 1.1: Network-based statistical inference ,Prof. E. Wit, Prof. M. Heinemann

1 position, Work Package 1.2: Computational, global modeling of ageing ,Prof. F.J. Weissing, Prof. Arjan van der Schaft

3 PhD research positions in Linguistics at the Graduate School for the Humanities, University of Groningen

Institution/Organization: University of Groningen
Department: Graduate School for the Humanities CLCG
Web Address:
http://www.rug.nl/gradschoolhumanities/admissions/phdpositions/index

Level: PhD

Duties: Research

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics


Description:

3 PhD research positions in Linguistics at the Graduate School for the
Humanities, University of Groningen

The positions in Linguistics at the Graduate School for the Humanities will be
aligned with the research of the Center for Language and Cognition Groningen
(CLCG). The current structure of research groups within the center is as follows:
Syntax and Semantics, Discourse and Communication, Language Variation and
Language Change, Computational Linguistics, Language and Literacy
Development across the Life Span, Neurolinguistics.

http://www.rug.nl/let/onderzoek/onderzoekinstituten/clcg/index

Secondary
- PhD-positions are for four years on a full-time basis (contract for 18 months, with
an extension of 30 months after a positive evaluation). The PhD will follow a tailor
made research training programme of 20 ECTS and will write a doctoral
dissertation. The successful candidates maybe asked to do some teaching.
- The University of Groningen offers a salary with a minimum of ? 2042 gross per
month for a full-time position in the first year and a maximum of ? 2612 in the
last year of the appointment.
- The appointment starts preferably 1 September 2010.

Guidelines for applications:
http://www.rug.nl/let/onderzoek/onderzoekinstituten/
clcg/positions/

These guidelines should be used for writing your application for a research
position leading to a PhD in our Graduate School. All positions are for a period of
four years, on the condition of a positive evaluation after 18 months.
The goal of the application format is twofold:
1. It will enable us to judge the merit of the topic which you wish to study in
relation to the goals of the specific research programme within the field of
linguistics.
2. It will enable us to compare the relative merits of the applicants efficiently and
with a minimum of bias.
Please respect these guidelines. Applications that do not follow this format will be
rejected.

Your application should consist of the following elements in the following order:
1. A letter of application
2. A curriculum vitae, including date and place of birth, the name of your
secondary school, and (if applicable) list of academic publications
3. A certified copy of your diploma ('doctorandus' or MA degree, or an equivalent)
and your academic record and grades
4. Two academic references
5. A research project proposal of no more than three pages (plus figures and
references).

Our most important question in evaluating project sketches is always: will this
project contribute to our scientific understanding of language? To determine this
we want to know whether an important question is addressed, and whether there
is a reasonable strategy for finding an answer. See for more requirements
regarding the sketch:

On the website of the CLCG, you can find more information on what we expect
from our PhD students:
