The research group Numerical Methods for high-dimensional Systems at the Mathematical Department of Universit¨at Karlsruhe (TH) invites applications for a PhD position in numerical analysis or scientific computing. Universit¨at Karlsruhe (TH) is one of the leading universities in Germany and has been selected to be one of the
first three "Elite-Universit¨aten" within the framework of the German Excellence Initiative.

We seek a candidate for the following PhD project (project leader: I. M. Artemieva):
"Structure of the lithosphere of Siberia from complex analysis of geophysical data"

In this project we focus on the relations between the lithosphere structure, mantle processes and geodynamic evolution of the Siberian craton and the West Siberian Basin. We particularly aim (i) to refine the existing models on the crustal structure of Siberia, (ii) to distinguish structural and compositional heterogeneity of the lithospheric mantle using experimental and theoretical relations between seismic velocities, temperature, composition, and density of the upper mantle, (iii) to link the present-day lithospheric structure to past geodynamic processes in the region. The numerical modeling will be constrained by data on the crustal structure, surface topography, seismic tomography, lithospheric temperatures, and gravity, complemented by petrologic data.

M.Sc. Graduate Research Assistantship - Fisheries Biology Aquaculture/Fisheries Center - University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff Pine Bluff, Arkansas

Responsibilities: Continue long-term research that assesses Arkansas River largemouth bass fisheries. Research will involve estimation of largemouth bass exploitation rates through tag-rewards study and conduct 12-month creel survey in one pool of the Arkansas River. Additional goals will be to survey competitive bass tournaments and assess various fishery length limits using computer simulation models. Exact thesis topic is flexible, but must be compatible with existing research needs. Specific duties of this position will include conducting fish sampling using boat-mounted electrofishing, oversight of a tag-rewards study, performance of bus-route creel surveys, supervision of field and laboratory workers, and general oversight of the day-to-day activities of the project. Individual will frequently interact with Arkansas Game and Fish Commission personnel. Weekend work will be required. Great potential to become involved in side projects.

Several PhD positions are available in the Institute of Population Genetics at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna from autumn 2009. Through the analysis of natural variation the students will receive training in evolutionary theory and population genetics in an interdisciplinary research environment. Students will join a lively institute working at the interface between experimental and theoretical population genetics. Our institute represents a synthesis of theoretical and experimental expertise in population genetics (Christian Schloetterer), molecular evolution and bioinformatics (Carolin Kosiol), functional genetics (Alistair McGregor and Thomas Flatt) and conservation genetics (Franz Suchentrunk). We welcome applications from international students as the working language of the institute is English.

Application for the 2010 cycle of the UNESCO-L'ORÉAL For Women in Science International Fellowships is now open.

What are the UNESCO-L'ORÉAL For Women in Science International Fellowships?

The Fellowships are jointly offered by UNESCO and L'ORÉAL, as part of the For Women In Science Programme, to support and promote women in scientific research all over the world.

The international Fellowships are awarded to promising young women scientists, at the doctoral or postdoctoral level, to undertake a research project in the life sciences which has been accepted by a reputable institution outside their home country.

15 international Fellowships are awarded each year. Each Fellowship is worth a maximum of US$40,000 to cover a research period of up to 24 months.

The international Fellowships aspire to support the scientific vocations of young women, to give them the opportunity to build international networks in the scientific community, and to gain crucial experience that they can bring back and share with others in their home countries.

The Fellowship beneficiaries are geographically spread, three Fellows being selected from each of the following regions: Africa; Arab States; Asia & the Pacific; Europe & North America; and Latin America & the Caribbean.
