Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Economics with Focus on Global Change and Behavioral Issues (Beijer Institute)

The Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics (www.beijer.kva.se) is pleased to announce two one-year post-doctoral fellowships in Economics with possibilities of extension. One position will be placed within the Beijer Institute program Global Dynamics and Resilience and the other within the Behavioral Economics and Nature Network.

Human societies are integral parts of the Earth system. We shape it and at the same time depend on it for social and economic development and well-being. With this overall perspective, the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics provides a forum for researchers in economics and ecology and related disciplines to interact and develop joint research, seeking a deeper understanding of social-ecological systems.

In the Global Dynamics and Resilience programme we are exploring critical unrecognised or ignored social-ecological interactions, feedbacks and potential tipping points of relevance for human wellbeing. We are looking at the kind of governance structures and economic incentives that can deal with new global interactions and help transform societal development towards global sustainability.

The Behavioral Economics and Nature Network (BENN) aims to serve as a clearing house for behavioural research around the world in economics, ecology and other disciplines for improved stewardship of our life-supporting ecosystems. BENN pushes for more work integrating behavioural sciences with life sciences and how understanding feedbacks between the two can generate better advice than either alone.

The Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics is an international research institute under the auspices of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, operating in networks with leading scholars. The Institute hosts three other research programmes: Aquaculture and Sustainable Seafood Production, Complex Systems, and Urban Social-Ecological Systems. The Beijer Institute is founding partner of the Stockholm Resilience Centre and the organizations collaborate closely.

The institute is accepting applications from PhDs in Economics who wish to conduct research in a stimulating, and friendly environment, in close collaboration with other disciplines. We are looking for candidates with exceptional scholarly promise and a rigorous approach to problem solving. Previous research experience on modeling, global issues, behavioral issues and research across disciplinary boundaries is highly valued as well as research experience within the areas of other research programmes of the Beijer Institute.

Applicants should submit a single document containing a short letter of interest (1 page) and a curriculum vitae including relevant publications (max 3 pages). In addition the applicants should ask a person of their choice to send a letter of recommendation to Christina Leijonhufvud (Beijer administrator; chris@beijer.kva.se) by September 15, 2011.

Salary will depend on the merits of the candidate.

Uppsala University hereby declares the following position to be open for application: Ph.D. position i Materials Physics - Combinatorial materials science for new thin film materials at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University, Sweden.

Today, thin films of functional materials are important in many industrial applications. To obtain rapid and cost-effective methods to identify new materials and determine their structure and properties is challenging. One possibility to obtain this goal is to work with a combinatorial approach, where one obtains a range of compositions or thicknesses in a single film. By means of a series of automatic analysis steps it is then possible to rapidly and cost-efficiently screen a large number of potential materials systems and thereby identifying new materials for applications. This Ph. D. project is a part of Innoenergy, which is a large European project financed by EIT (European Institute of Technology) together with a number of European companies and universities. The main objective of the Ph.D. project is to identify new magnetic materials exhibiting extremely low coercivity and a high magnetization using combinatorial materials research. Development of processes and methods of the combinatorial material science approach is an important part of the Ph.D. program.

Our research group is a part of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the Angstrom Laboratory at University of Uppsala, Sweden. We are working with thin film materials mainly deposited with magnetron sputtering and Molecular Beam Techniques. The Ph. D. project will be a part of the Innoenergy and involve participants from Department of Materials Chemistry, Department of Engineering and the company ABB. As a Ph. D. student within Innoenergy you will spend at least 6 months at another European university and participate in the research schools and courses at different locations in Europe.  

If you are interested, you are welcome to submit an application including a letter describing yourself, your merits and research interests. A CV must also be submitted as well as copies of your academic grades and exams. Contact addresses to reference persons are requested. You may also submit other relevant material such as copies of master thesis. 

A suitable background for applicants is a Master degree in, for example, physics, chemistry or engineering. The applicant should have some courses in relevant fields such as solid state physics or solid state chemistry, materials physics, thin film technology etc.

Uppsala University hereby declares the following position to be open for application: PhD position in seismic methods with focus on geological storage of carbon dioxide at the Department of Earth Sciences. Start 1 april 2011 or as agreed upon.

Reflection seismics and associated methods, such as traveltime tomography, are used to generate high resolution images of the Earth's interior. The acquired data contain both geometrical information on geological structure and on the physical properties of the material that the waves have propagated through. The reflection seismic group is currently running projects involving studies of major crustal features of the Baltic Shield, mineral exploration, geological storage of CO2, and siting and/or monitoring of nuclear waste repositories. Research focus is on (1) structural interpretation of reflection seismic data based traditional processing methods, (2) monitoring CO2 geological storages sites (3) developing novel processing methods for hard rock conditions, and (4) integrating results from the field data with other geophysical and geological data. The geophysics program runs its own 400 channel seismic acquisition system and uses modern processing software. The interest in geological storage of CO2 is increasing in Sweden and Uppsala University is actively involved in a number of projects where seismic methods are being applied. Aside from interpretating seismic data in space and time, research is required in the fields of seismic processing and seismic waveform tomography. 

The PhD candidate will perform research within the field of reflection seismics and seismic methods related to geological storage of CO2 in sedimentary, but also crystalline, rocks. Acquisition and processing of seismic data are part of the activities included in the position. Research will focus on (1) interpretation of geological structure based on the reflection seismic data, (2) development of novel and innovative processing methods, and (3) integration of reflection seismic results with other geological and geophysical data related to geological storage of CO2.

The PhD candidate will work within a larger research program with other candidates and researchers from Sweden and abroad. The research will be partly coupled to the CO2SINK/CO2MAN project (www.co2sink.org), but will also involve other projects at the department.

We are seeking a motivated candidate where a strong background in math, physics, geophysics and geology is desirable, as is documented field experience. Linux/Unix skills are necessary, experience in programming in C is desirable, and using software such as GMT, Seismic Unix and shell scripts is a merit.

The successful applicant is expected to, and should be willing, to spend time in the field, as part of her/his PhD studies, operating geophysical instruments. The PhD position is for 4 years where financing for the first year may be by a grant (utbildningsbidrag) and the following 3 years as an employee of the university as a PhD student. If funds are available, it is possible to extend the PhD study period to 5 years by working as a teaching/research assistant. Uppsala University is an equal opportunity employer and encourages women to apply for these positions.

For further information contact Prof. Christopher Juhlin e-mail christopher.juhlin@geo.uu.se. Union representatives are Anders Grundström, SACO, phone. +46-18-471 5380, Carin Söderhäll, TCO/ST, phone. +46-18-471 1996, Stefan Djurström, SEKO, phone. +46-18-471 3315.

PhD position in seismic methods with focus on geological storage of carbon dioxide

Swedish Institute (SI) scholarships and exchanges are intended to promote sustainable relationships and mutual learning processes, which in turn evolve from interpersonal meetings, education and cultural experiences. SI strives to build up and develop good, lasting relationships, exchanges and networks with people and institutions in other countries. If you are interested in an exchange with a Swedish counterpart, we have a range of programs and opportunities to offer you. For detailed information about the various programs, see the menu on the left.

Scholarships
In the educational field, SI administers a number of scholarship programs. These give students and researchers at Swedish universities and colleges the chance to pursue their objectives in other countries, and also give their counterparts abroad the chance to spend time in Sweden. The programs mainly offer individual scholarships but also provide funding opportunities for institutional cooperation via the Visby Program – the Swedish Institute’s program for the Baltic region.
The Visby Program is the biggest SI exchange program in the educational sphere. The aim is to establish sustainable networks between Sweden and the countries of the Baltic region through cooperation at all levels of education above public school, in the form of both individual scholarships and support for institutional cooperation.

Thinking about studying in Sweden, or pursuing research? The Swedish Institute publishes the website Studyinsweden.se - designed to provide you with the information you need to study in Sweden as a foreign student.

The Swedish Institute funds approximately 400 scholarships each year for students and researchers coming to Sweden to pursue their objectives at a Swedish university or university college.

The number of available scholarships varies from year to year, and competition is keen. There are several kinds of scholarships available. For more information, visit Studyinsweden.se.

On Studyinsweden.se you will also find information about applicants who were offered scholarships from the Swedish Institute for master´s degree studies in Sweden from the autumn 2010 within the Guest Scholarship Program, the Visby Program and the Swedish-Turkisk Scholarship Program.

Leadership programs
Leadership programs represent a further example of SI efforts to promote exchanges and network-building. The aim is to develop active and lasting networks bringing together potential new leaders and opinion-makers around the world.

Expert exchange and cultural cooperation
By making available aid-financed programs in the field of expert and cultural exchange, SI contributes to the goal of creating conditions that enable people in poverty to improve their lives. Poverty in this context refers not just to the lack of material resources but also to power, opportunity, freedom of choice and security. Such a goal is achieved by establishing sustainable relationships, networks and mutual learning processes between actors in Sweden and the developing countries in the areas of gender equality, sustainability, democracy, children’s rights and freedom of expression.
