The Laboratory of Nanostrucrures and Novel Electronic Materials at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL) invites applications for a Ph.D. position in experimental solid state physics. The successful candidate will use electrical transport measurements (resistivity, Hall-effect and thermopower) under high pressure to study novel electronic materials like … [More Info]

Post-doctoral Fellow position in the Psychology Department, Florida State University The Psychology Department of Florida State Univeristy is inviting applications for a post-doctoral fellow position beginning September 1, 2007. The position is funded from a contract with Florida Department of Transportation that ends on December 31, 2008. There is high probability of extension of this … [More Info]

The Institute for Geophysics and Meteorology at Cologne (Köln) University, Germany is inviting applications for a PhD position in Meteorology. This position is within the project TOSCA (Towards an Optimal-estimation-based Snow Characterization Algorithm) funded by the German Science Foundation and it is available for a three-year period (starting as soon as possible). The goal of … [More Info]

We are seeking a postdoctoral research associate to be part of a new Brown-MIT collaborative effort in the development and analysis of certified reduced basis methods. These techniques allow the formulation of fast reduced order models with rigorous a posteriori bounds and have numerous important applications in control, optimization, and compression of general problems in … [More Info]

A PhD studentship is available in the Emmy Noether Group of Dr. Matthias Arenz at the Technical University of Munich in the field of Electrocatalysis and Cluster Science. In this project the influence of the particle size and the electronic structure of size-selected, supported clusters on electrocatalytic reactions will be studied by means of FTIR, … [More Info]

The project goal is a defined chemical modification of polymeric walls in small cavities of nanoliter size by low temperature plasma. Your aim will be to optimize the means of the energy coupling into the plasma, gas composition, its pressure and flow. The feedback for the optimization will be provided by suitable plasma diagnostics and … [More Info]

Today integrated circuits exhibit rapidly increasing power dissipation due to static leakage in idle circuits. Innovative device technology on its own does not provide scalable leakage-problem solutions that manage to keep up with increasing device density. Leakage already now can present insurmountable design obstacles to energy-limited embedded Systems-On-Chips. To pave the way for future, dense … [More Info]
