PhD Position in Chemical Physics / Physical Chemistry
Company Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, EPFL
Workplace Lausanne, Switzerland
Description We currently have an open PhD position for the project ?oDynamics in Helium Nanodroplets?
This project investigates the electronic excitation and photoionization of species dissolved in superfluid helium nanodroplets in order to gain a more profound understanding of the mechanisms governing the dynamics in this finite size quantum liquid. In ad***ion, we plan to make use of the special characteristics of the helium solvent to study fundamental properties of embedded systems, for example electron transfer, or to probe the potential energy surfaces of large molecular systems. To achieve these goals experiments in both the time and frequency domain are performed using nanosecond and femtosecond laser systems in combination with state-of-the-art ion- and electron-imaging techniques. In ad***ion, experiments are planned at the XUV free electron laser in Trieste (Italy) that is current being constructed and is expected to become operational in 2009. More detailed information on the project can be found HERE
We are looking for a highly motivated and creative person with a masters degree in physics or physical chemistry to work on this project. The successful candidate is expected to make active contributions to the research that is being carried out in a small team. Experience with lasers systems, vacuum equipment or imaging techniques is desirable but not required. The position will be for a maximum period of 4 years, with a starting salary of CHF 50''000 per annum.

The university takes special care to ensure optimum support and supervision of students, and pays constant attention to educational innovation. The University is an autonomous pluralistic institution that is committed to the enhancement of an open, democratic and multicultural society, and it pursues an equal opportunities policy.
The Department of Transport and Regional Economics of the Faculty of Applied Economics (University of Antwerp) will recruit a full-time:
Pre-doctoral researcher / Ph.D. student for a research project on
The influence of congestion and congestion policy on the efficiency of business logistics processes.
Promotor: Dr. Wout Dullaert, Associate professor of operations and logistics management
Co-promotor: Dr. Bruno De Borger, Professor of Economics
This research project aims at examining the impact of congestion and congestion policy on the logistics efficiency of companies. This issue is studied both from an operations research and an economic perspective. To investigate the effects of congestion and congestion policy at the level of an individual decision maker, several OR models will be developed to estimate the impact on (i) an individual link of the supply chain, (ii) on the size and positioning of safety stocks in an existing supply chain, and (iii) on redesigning a supply chain. For the economic analysis, partial equilibrium models will be designed to analyze the effects of congestion and congestion policy on fundamental logistics key performance indicators (e.g. average stock levels, service levels etc).
Profile
Candidates should have:
masters degree in mathematics, commercial engineering, applied economics, civil/industrial engineering, bioengineering or equal;
a strong interest in operations research and/or economic modelling and the ambition to write a Ph.D. dissertation;
a strong academic record;
a good knowledge of English.
