Admission exams
The exams, aimed at evaluating the candidates’ aptitude for scientific research, will take place in accordance with the procedures and dates indicated in the announcement. Communications to the candidates will be made exclusively through publication on this Internet site.

Candidates who are resident abroad may also take part only on the basis of evaluation of academic titles, exclusively for the reserved places, if these are envisaged for the individual research doctorate.

At the end of the competitive exam eligible candidates may be admitted in excess, without a grant and within the maximum number provided by the announcement , on the condition that, on the date of enrolment, they belong to one of the following categories:
- researchers receiving grants provided for in Law. 449/97 or other research grant, on the condition that the doctorate course they will attend belongs to the same scientific area of research as that for which they receive their grants;
- non-Italian citizens. For this category only, the Teaching Board of the Doctorate course may decide to increase the number of candidates admissible in excess as described in the annexes.

The final lists
The final lists will be made public on the 6th December 2010 (on this website). There will be no communications to home addresses.

Admission to courses and enrolment formalities
The selected candidates will be required to provide the documentation for enrolment within the deadline of the 14th December 2010 .

The paper applications received after the 14th December 2010 will be excluded and places will be filled taking candidates from further down the list.

The list of the candidates designated to replace selected candidates who have renounced the courses or been declared ineligible, will be made public on the 20th December 2010 .

Doctoral Position (Research and Teaching Assistant)

Chair of Professor J. Goeree
University of Zurich (Switzerland)

The candidate is expected to do research during a period of four years leading to a doctoral
thesis. In addition, he or she will be involved in teaching activities. A bachelor’s or master’s
degree in economics, mathematics or physics is required. The focus of the research in our
group is on microeconomics, in particular, auction theory and mechanism design. We
encourage applications of young researchers who want to benefit from and contribute to a
stimulating environment at an internationally renowned economics department.
The candidate will attend doctoral courses offered by UZH. The thesis typically consists of
three pieces of original research, including both single-authored and co-authored papers.

Please send applications by email to jgoeree@iew.uzh.ch. We plan to fill the position by
February 1, 2010.

The Berlin Graduate School Muslim Cultures and Societies

funded by the Excellence Initiative of the German Federal and State Governments will
admit fifteen PhD students to its doctoral program to begin October 1, 2010. Ten of these
candidates will receive a Graduate School grant; the other candidates will be supported
in their quest for funding.

The Graduate School investigates the plurality, changeability, and global connectedness
of Muslim cultures and societies. It invites applications from candidates whose
dissertation project fits one of the Graduate School’s Research Areas.
Successful applicants will have a master’s degree in one of the disciplines
represented at the Graduate School, with a ranking, where applicable, of above
average. The language of communication is English. Admission is for one year,
and, contingent upon a positive evaluation after the first year of study, will be
extended for another twelve months. Admission and grant can be extended for
a total of three years.

The application package needs to include the following documents: a completed and
signed application form; an outline of the dissertation project (up to 6 pages, with a brief
summary); a signed curriculum vitae; two letters of reference; certified copies of degrees
received; evidence of proficiency in the language(s) relevant to the dissertation project;
and for non-native speakers of English, proof of proficiency in English. Holders of PhD
scholarships that were awarded on the basis of academic references for the same project
with which applicants apply to the Graduate School can submit copies of these
references.

Applications will be reviewed by the School’s Admissions and Grants Committee.
The complete application package must be submitted by November 30, 2009 to:
Freie Universität Berlin
Berlin Graduate School Muslim Cultures and Societies
Managing Director
Dr Arnim Heinemann
Altensteinstr. 48
14195 Berlin
Germany

Doctoral Programs: 11 PhD Fellowships in SEACOT project

Surface Engineering for Antifouling -
Coordinated Advanced Training (SEACOAT)

This is a temporary web page intended to support recruitment to the network. A more detailed web-site will be running soon

Positions available:

11 Early Stage Researcher (PhD) Fellowships
6 Experienced Researcher (post-doc) Fellowships

Applications are invited for Early Stage Researcher Fellowships (leading to a PhD) and Experienced Researcher Fellowships (post-docs) funded through a Marie Curie Initial Training Network. Most positions are due to start on March 1st 2010 or soon thereafter.

The SEACOAT Network:

The main research goal of the project is to improve understanding of biointerfacial processes involved in the colonisation of surfaces by marine fouling organisms. This will inform the future development of new, environmentally-benign materials and coatings for the practical control of marine biofouling.

Our principal objective is to discover which nano- and micro-scale physico-chemical properties of surfaces influence the adhesion of fouling organisms, through the use of surface engineering technologies to fabricate coatings that vary systematically in relevant surface properties, and length scales.

We will use advanced surface analytical methods to characterise test surfaces for relevant physico-chemical surface properties and how these change after immersion. Parallel adhesion bioassays using a range of representative marine organisms will test intrinsic antifouling properties of surfaces.

Fellows’ individual projects will be integrated into one comprehensive research and training network which is strongly based on exchange and transfers between academia and industry. The network will also provide fellows with network-wide training activities (4 Advanced Training Courses, an international Workshop/symposium). All fellows are expected to collaborate with other Partners in the Consortium through secondments and visits.
