PhD Vacancy Urban Design
Within the Department
of Architecture and Arts at the PHL University College, Belgium, the following
position (m/f) is available:
PhD Student
(2 x 2 years) Urban Design
Job description
The scope
of the research is to develop a toolbox that helps visualizing how people use,
perceive and conceive a given spatial environment, in other words: a toolbox to
visualize mental maps. The innovative aspect of this research is to rely –for
the development of this toolbox- on recent advancements within locative and media
technology, specifically on recent advancements within ubiquitous gaming. We
argue that ubiquitous games can be employed to visualize mental maps. The scope
of the research is to validate this argument, by developing an ubiquitous game
for a given spatial context and within a given theme (so far defined as
leisure).
Profile and diploma
Master
degree (or equivalent) in either architecture, urban planning, geography or in any
other discipline relevant to the proposal. Thorough knowledge of the English language
is required.

Researcher-PhD Student Dynamic Travel Behaviour Model
Within the framework of the project 'Automated collection of activity-based travel data to support dynamic travel behaviour modelling", the following vacancy (m/f) has opened up within the Transportation Research Institute (IMOB) of Hasselt University:
Researcher-PhD student 'dynamic travel behaviour modelling' (2x2 jaar)
(mandate BEDR/2007/007-HO-3)
The Transportation Research Institute (IMOB) is one of the 9 research institutes of Hasselt University. The scientific research within IMOB is concentrated on three core fields: traffic safety, transportation and logistics. The institute organizes the research in traffic safety, within the Policy Research Centre for Mobility & Public Works, track Traffic Safety and researches transportation behaviour by using activity-based models. Besides expertise within public transport, IMOB also gathers knowledge in the research field of logistics and organization of freight transport.
Besides fundamental research, there is an applied research unit that carries out research projects for several clients (EU, federal and regional authorities, local authorities, companies, …). Themes we work at are traffic safety, transportation behaviour, public transport, bike policy, transportation management and freight transport. About 35 researchers are working for IMOB. This researcher will work within the transportation department.
Job description
For this project, people's travel behaviour will be modelled using a toolbox which will be developed within a micro-simulation environment. This toolbox should enable us to calculate the effects of large-scale individualised transport simulations on a Flemish level.
Profile
The applicant should have sufficient knowledge of quantitative research methods and should at least be highly interested in programming. Preference will be given to applicants with interest and experience in an OO-development environment.
Diploma
A university degree or equivalent academic college degree. Senior students are also encouraged to apply.

Nanophotonics for Terabit Communications (NATEC)
A new research centre focusing on nanophotonics for terabit communications is being established at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The centre is based on donations from a private foundation, VILLUM KANN RASNMUSSEN FONDEN. The NATEC
centre will, in particular, perform research on light-matter
interaction in semiconductor quantum dots and photonic crystal
structures and explore the use of such nanostructured materials for
realizing photonic chips operating in the terabit regime. The centre is
a strongly focused effort involving nanofabrication, experimental
characterisation based on nanoscopy and ultrafast lasers, fundamental
theory including topology optimization, and systems experiments and
will provide ample opportunities for cross-fertilization between these
areas.
The NATEC Centre is headed by Professor Jesper Mørk (jm[ at
]com.dtu.dk) from Department of Photonics Engineering, DTU, and
involves the collaboration with 4 other institutes at DTU: Department
of Micro-and Nanotechnology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Center for Electron Nanoscopy and Danchip.
At the moment we have openings within the following areas of research:
* Growth and characterisation of semiconductor quantum dots and
fabrication of photonic crystal based devices (Kresten Yvind; ky[ at
]com.dtu.dk).
* Characterisation of pulse propagation in photonic crystal
structures and ultrafast dynamics in quantum dots (Mike van der Poel;
mvp[ at ]com.dtu.dk).
* Theory and modelling of light-matter interaction in photonic
crystal structures with quantum dots (Niels Asger Mortensen; nam[ at
]mic.dtu.dk).
* Topology optimization of nanophotonic structures incorporating
effects of nonlinearities and fabrication uncertainties (Ole Sigmund;
sigmund [ at ]mek.dtu.dk).
* Experimental and theoretical investigations of terabit systems
emphasizing noise limitations and information capacity (Palle Jeppesen;
pj[ at ]com.dtu.dk).
We are looking for candidates with a strong track record and with a
good experimental, theoretical and/or computational background in
photonics, electromagnetics or materials engineering and physics. The
annual salary of PhD students starts at approximately 277,000 DKK
(36,900 EUR) + pension.
For further information please contact Jesper Mørk or the persons
mentioned above, or see the full job announcement at the homepage of
DTU. Please send your application as a single pdf file, including CV,
list of publications, certificates of exams and grades, as well as a list of references to:
