3 PhD students (European Industrial Doctorate) in Theoretical Chemistry
3 PhD students (European Industrial Doctorate) in Theoretical Chemistry / Physics at SCM & Jacobs University
EU grant for Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics and QM/MM method development, job summary SCM, a scientific software company located in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, operating in the area of computational quantum chemistry and materials science, and Prof. Heine's group at Jacobs University gGmbH, a private university in Bremen, Germany, have recently been awarded an EU grant in the new European Industrial Doctorate (EID) program. This provides generous funding for 3 attractive PhD student positions (3 years) with good salary and travel/mobility allowances. Two positions will start in Amsterdam for 1.5 years and finish in Bremen for 1.5 years. For the third position, the order is reversed. The VU University Amsterdam (Prof. Visscher, Theoretical Chemistry) acts as Associate Partner and scientific co-supervisor in Amsterdam together with Prof. Thomas Heine in Bremen. A cotutelle agreement is currently being finalized between these two universities, which would open up the possibility of a double doctorate degree at two institutions. The start date will normally be between October 1, 2012 and March 1, 2013. Salary conditions, travel/ mobility allowances, and benefits will follow the attractive EU amounts for Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) in program FP7-PEOPLE-2012-ITN, which goes beyond the already above-average offers at Dutch and German universities. SCM is a spin-off of the VU University Amsterdam and rents its office space inside the Theoretical Chemistry corridor. Prof. Lucas Visscher is prepared to act together with Prof. Heine in Bremen as scientific PhD supervisor. SCM maintains and develops several software packages used by computational (quantum) chemists and materials scientists in academia and industry. The ADF and BAND molecular and periodic DFT programs are currently the most popular among these packages and used by thousands of scientists worldwide. In an ongoing EU project (QUASINANO) between the same partners, the much faster DFTB (Density Functional based Tight Binding) method is being developed into a powerful method capable of treating dynamics of nanoscale systems with thousands of atoms. The successful candidate will be involved in method development to further improve the algorithms in the core compute engines in ADF, DFTB, and possibly BAND. The goal is to extend the capabilities in the areas of Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD) for ground states and excited states, as well as implementing fast QM/MM methods. Day-to-day guidance in Amsterdam will be performed by the experienced scientific staff at SCM consisting of 6 senior PhDs focusing on software / method development, and with typically more than 10 years experience in ADF / BAND software development. A candidate aiming for a PhD degree will be expected to publish his work in the scientific literature and write a PhD thesis in the 3rd year. Job requirements Requirements: •The key point: method and software development skills, combined with a solid knowledge of quantum methods in molecular theoretical chemistry and physics •Being able to quickly grasp complex mathematical ideas in scientific publications and convert them into clean and efficient source code •M.Sc. degree in relevant field (e.g. computational / theoretical physics, or theoretical quantum chemistry). Candidates expecting to receive their M.Sc. degree in the next six months are warmly invited to apply as well. •Good written and verbal communication skills in the English language •Willingness to relocate from Amsterdam to Bremen after 18 months (2 positions) or vice versa (1 position). Desirable additional knowledge and experience: •Some experience in AIMD or QM/MM methods •Some experience in electronic structure theory (DFT or more approximate faster methods) •Some experience with programming in a team, in a large-scale software package (>100,000 lines of code) •Working knowledge of Fortran(90) •Experience with high-performance computing and parallel programming •General programming skills (UNIX, scripting languages, debugging, etc.) •Team player, with good two-way communication skills, highly self-motivated and able to work independently with excellent time management skills. What we offer The employment contract will consist of an 18-month period at one partner (SCM or Jacobs Univ.) followed by 18 months employment at the other partner, in case of successful completion of the first year. The position is available immediately but there is flexibility concerning the starting date. A start date as late as 1 March 2013 is negotiable. Salary and secondary benefits (including pension fund) will follow EU rules for salaries of Early Stage Researchers. Tax benefits (30% of salary tax-free) may be applicable in the Netherlands (depending on circumstances) for a successful candidate from abroad. This is a full-time position in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Bremen, Germany. Gross monthly living allowance: 38000 Euro / year to be multiplied by country correction factor of 1.041 for The Netherlands or 0.948 for Germany. Mobility allowance: 700 Euro / month (single) or 1000 Euro / month (married candidates) corrected with the same country correction factor. In addition, the EU provides funding for training and transfer of knowledge expenses to the institutes. Project details •Project 1: Ground-state molecular dynamics: We will implement and thoroughly test the three most established methods in this field, Born-Oppenheimer MD (BOMD), Car-Parrinello MD (CPMD) and density matrix propagation (P propagation). In contrast to classical MD techniques, forces are calculated using first principles of quantum mechanics (AIMD). As we are using local basis functions, we will take advantage of the sparsity of the Hamiltonian for large systems. In the best case, this will reduce the formal cost of DFT to linear scaling (Order-N). •Project 2: Excited-state dynamics: Computational methodologies are still much less developed in describing temperature-dependent effects, and this consortium will work on providing those methods. While electronic excitations of high-temperature applications can be treated using a simplified scheme, i.e. using Liouville-von Neumann MD (LvNMD), Time-Dependent DFT (TDDFT) methods are required for the dedicated propagation of an excited state, and more advanced methods are required to provide forces to the system. While LvNMD is the method of choice for thermally excited systems, the simulation of dedicated electron dynamics requires explicit TDDFT treatment. LvNMD and TDDFT-MD, implemented for finite and for periodic systems, will be the topics of the methodological part of the PhD thesis of ESR2. • Project 3: QM/MM techniques: The correct dynamics of electronically excited states in biological molecules requires the description of very large systems, in order to account for the long-range electrostatic response of the environment. On the other hand, electronic excitations are typically localized in a spatially restricted part of the system. This allows for quantum mechanics / molecular mechanics (QM/MM) hybrid methods, where only the excited state fragment is treated using quantum mechanics (TD-DFT). In order to obtain a correct description of the boundaries between the QM and MM regions, a pseudoatom or similar approach will be implemented in the different variants of DFT as available in ADF and DFTB. After this initial development that will result in a state-of-the-art QM/MM scheme, we will extend and apply our approach in order to study various biophysical applications. The method development part will be followed by applications in materials science (specifically metal oxide nanoparticles) for Projects 1 and 2, and biophysics (light-sensitive proteins) for Project 3. About SCM and the Theoretical Chemistry group at VU University Amsterdam Scientific Computing & Modelling NV, SCM, is a (now independent) spin-off company of the VU University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. SCM develops, maintains, and markets the Amsterdam Density Functional (ADF) package, consisting of the molecular ADF program, the periodic structure program BAND, the reactive molecular dynamics program ReaxFF, approximate DFT (DFTB) software, the COSMO-RS module for thermodynamics of mixed liquids, and their respective graphical interfaces. The working atmosphere at SCM is that of an informal small team of PhDs doing intellectually challenging work. SCM shares office space and closely interacts with the well-known Theoretical Chemistry (TC) group led by professors Bickelhaupt and Visscher and emeritus professor Baerends and with the group of prof. T. Ziegler at Calgary, Canada. The TC group consists of about 20 people, including a very international mix of PhD students, postdocs, and guests. SCM cooperates with a large and growing number of academic method developers around the world and is now increasing its scope to non-DFT methods. SCM is a science-focused company which has been around for 15 years. It is financially solid, free of debt, growing, and profitable. SCM is located in Amsterdam, the very lively, internationally oriented, and enjoyable capital of The Netherlands. Thanks to its high quality of living, Amsterdam was recently elected as overall winner for "most attractive city to live in Europe", beating Paris and Berlin. About Jacobs University Bremen, Prof. Heine's group (Theoretical Physics and Computational Materials Science) Jacobs University is a private, modern, and highly international university with students from 98 nations. The campus language is English.

The Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Genetics, Bioinformatics & Computational Biology
The Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Genetics, Bioinformatics & Computational Biology (GBCB)
The research paradigm exemplified by the Human Genome Project requires a new academic training paradigm, one that creates team-oriented researchers who may be specialists in one area but who are literate in several other disciplines. For example, researchers with expertise in the mathematical, statistical, or computer sciences also require sufficient knowledge in biology to understand the questions in order to develop appropriate analytical methods and computer tools. Similarly, life scientists need sufficient grounding in mathematics, statistics and computer science to be educated users of these quantitative methods and tools, and to conceptualize new tools. Research and training environments that produce such a combination of skills are not commonly found in academia. In order to provide such a training environment at Virginia tech, the previously existing Interdisciplinary Program in Genetics has been transformed into the Inderdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Genetics, Bioinformatics & Computational Biology(GBCB). This exciting, rigourous, and intensive program of study encompasses applications of molecular biology, genomics, mathematics, statistics and computer science to all areas of the life sciences. Interdisciplinary programs span traditional departmental boundaries and allow students enrolled in such a program to study with faculty from many departments and colleges. Plans of study are tailored individually to students' needs, and it is not uncommon that a student have an advising committee of faculty from several colleges across the university. The program is intended to last 5 years but some may graduate in less than 5 years depending on transfer credits, pace of research, etc. The first class of students was accepted into the GBCB program in Fall 2003 with twenty-two students enrolled for fall 2004. We currently have 44 students. GBCB has awarded 17 doctoral degress thus far; some have taken successful postdoc positions and others have proceeded directly into the business, academic, and technology sectors. Application Deadlines: International Students: For admission in Fall semesters apply by March 1; Spring semester is September 15. http://graduateschool.vt.edu/academi.../phd_gbcb.html Дедлайн для осеннего семестра 1 марта. Дедлайн для весеннего семестра 15 сентября. |

PhD Studentship in Archaeology and Ancient History at University of Leicester, UK
AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award PhD Studentship in Archaeology and Ancient History
School of Archaeology and Ancient History Supervisors Dr Mark Gillings and Mr Rob Wilson-North Start Date October 2012 Entry Requirements UK/EU Applicants Only Closing Date for Applications 03 September 2012 - APPLY NOW Fields, Farms, and Megaliths: Unravelling the Unique Neolithic - Early Bronze Age Landscapes of Exmoor, SW Britain The University of Leicester and the Exmoor National Park Authority are pleased to invite applications from outstanding postgraduates for an AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award PhD studentship, to commence October 2012. This three year studentship will pay full-time University UK/EU tuition fees and include an annual tax free stipend at standard AHRC rates (currently £13,590 a year). In addition, the AHRC will make a further annual maintenance contribution of £550 and Exmoor National Park Authority will provide an annual bursary of £1,000. Research Areas and Supervision The project will carry out the first detailed synthesis, analysis and interpretation of Exmoor's unique Neolithic-Bronze Age archaeology. The prehistoric archaeology of Exmoor has long been noted as somehow 'different' and recent survey and excavation work, coupled with the results of the National Mapping Programme and newly captured LiDAR datasets has confirmed this – hinting at a complex set of relationships between megalithic settings (monuments), clearance structures, boundaries and emerging landscapes of settlement and farming. Yet the precise character of this difference and what it can tell us about developing relations between people and landscape in this upland zone during this period has escaped sustained study. The project will address this gap in understanding through the production of a detailed synthesis of the corpus of archaeological and environmental information relating to the Neolithic and Bronze Age archaeology of the moor. The successful applicant will be encouraged to design and carry out elements of original fieldwork and make research visits to relevant museum and archive collections as well as participate in relevant and agreed Exmoor National Park Authority organised activities, making their research accessible to wider public audiences and users. The successful applicant will be registered at the University of Leicester and supervised by Dr Mark Gillings. Mr Rob Wilson-North will be the Exmoor National Park Authority supervisor. Although based in Leicester, the successful applicant will also use the Exmoor National Park Authority as a research base, and will be given workspace, training and support here for the duration of their doctoral research. Detailed Project Description Entry Requirements Applicants must have a first-class or high upper second-class honours degree (or equivalent qualification) and meet the University's standard English language entry requirements. Applicants should a Masters degree in a relevant discipline or be able to show evidence that they will achieve this before October 2012. It is expected that applicants should be able to demonstrate that they have good research and practical fieldwork skills (survey and excavation); familiarity with archives and databases; a good awareness of current debates within British Prehistory (with particular focus on the Neolithic – Bronze Age). The studentship is only available to applicants who are eligible to pay the UK/EU tuition fee - i.e., those who are permanently resident in the UK or another EU country. Please note that applicants from the EU (excluding the UK) must have been resident in the UK for at least three years prior to commencing the studentship to receive both the stipend and fee components of this award; EU applicants who do not meet this criteria will receive the fee waiver component only. Applicants from outside the EU are not eligible for the studentship unless they have been granted permanent UK residency/citizenship.
