The project will have both theoretical and applied research, and it will be performed in close collaboration with the Orthopaedic Department, UniversitÔts-Kinderspital beider Basel (UKBB) and the Medical Image Analysis group of the University of Basel.
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a relatively common disorder, which manifests itself as large lateral deviation of the spine. The con***ion becomes debilitating even in the early teens and may require major corrective surgery. It is vital that the surgeon corrects the appropriate vertebral levels by the optimal amount to ensure a safe surgery as well as good postoperative result. In this project, new methods to predict the segmental stiffness of the spine from pre-operative images will be combined with in-vivo measurements and integrated with finite element models to simulate patient-specific spine biomechanics. The main challenge of the project is to fuse advanced imaging techniques with biomechanical models to estimate the mechanical properties of each patient. This project will be supported by top surgeons in the area and by one of the major surgical support companies. The candidate must have strong communication skills, be willing to work in the OR with the surgeons, and the ability to combine basic research activities with the needs on clinicians.

PhD Project on Moisture and Energy Dynamics in Field Soils
Wednesday 22. October 2008
Company EPF Lausanne
Workplace Lausanne
Description The Laboratory of Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Hydrology (EFLUM) is active in a variety of research topics in the fields of hydrology and boundary layer meteorology, with emphasis on land surface-atmosphere interaction. In this framework, we plan to study the mechanisms governing the evolution of soil moisture, which is one of the key parameters in the water cycle, affecting run-off, infiltration, and evaporation.
EFLUM offers a PhD position to investigate coupled moisture and energy transport in field soils. Conceptually the coupling can be viewed as a consequence of water phase transition and project emphasis is on the role played by evaporation under diurnal temperature forcing. The objectives are:
1. To evaluate the contribution of vapor transport;
2. To assess the relative importance of convective and diffusive fluxes;
3. To determine sensible and latent heat fluxes at the land surface.
The final goal is to advance the understanding of soil moisture evolution, and derive effective models to couple subsurface flow and atmospheric dynamics.
The project includes an experimental activity (experiments will be performed in two lysimeters available at the EFLUM), as well as numerical and theoretical activities.
Education The ideal candidate holds a master (or equivalent) degree in one of the following fields: environmental engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, or mathematics.

The GASMEMS Marie-Curie Initial Training Network
GASMEMS is an international training network for young researchers in the field of rarefied
gas flows in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS)
Gas flows in microsystems are of great importance for various applications that touch almost every
industrial field (e.g. fluidic microactuators for active control of aerodynamic flows, vacuum generators
for extracting biological samples, mass flow and temperature micro-sensors, pressure gauges, micro
heat-exchangers for the cooling of electronic components or for chemical applications). The main
characteristic of gas microflows is their rarefaction, which for device design often requires modelling
and simulation both by continuous and molecular approaches. The role played by the interaction
between the gas and the solid device surfaces becomes essential and it is generally not well
understood. Numerous models of boundary con***ions have been proposed but they often require an
empirical adjustment strongly dependent on the micro manufacturing technique.
The GASMEMS network has been built from several existing collaborations within bilateral
programmes, from scientific collaborations and national networks with the objectives:
(i) to structure research in Europe in the field of micro gas flows to improve global
fundamental knowledge and enable technological applications to an industrial and
commercial level;
(ii) to train PhD and Post-doctoral researchers at a pan-European level, with the aim of
providing both a global overview on problems linked to gas flows and heat transfer in
microsystems, and advanced skills in specific domains of this research field.
To achieve these objectives, 15 PhD students and 5 Postdoctoral researchers will be recruited in the
framework of this network of 17 European laboratories and industrial partners. Individual career
development plans, mobility, the requirement for every participant researcher to acquire a minimum
knowledge in modelling, simulation, experimental techniques and MEMS manufacturing, in ad***ion
to their project specialisation and Network-wide workshops will ensure that each researcher receives
exposure to, and benefits from, the full expertise of the Network. The involvement of industrial
partners ensures the commercial and industrial relevance of the proposed programme. Coupled with
the broad range of industrial application areas, researchers in this programme will experience
considerably improved career prospects in the various new and emerging applications of gas micro
flows.

Research Assistant / PhD Researcher
Ref. N°. GASMEMS-ESR6
Within the GASMEMS Marie-Curie Initial Training Network, a
Research Assistant/PhD position is
available on a project entitled:
Heat transfer models for moderately rarefied microchannel gaseous flows
Duration: 3 years. Expected starting date: January 2009 (by agreement with the researcher)
Application deadline: 15 November 2008
Main goal
Development of heat transfer models for moderately rarefied gaseous flows.
Description of the project
The prediction of heat transfer in gaseous flow through MEMS components is still an open issue.
For moderately rarefied flows, continuum models still hold true, provided that proper slip flow and
temperature jump con***ions are enforced. However, temperature jump con***ion at the wall has not
been extensively studied, yet, and the vali***y of slip boundary effect is not established for arbitrary
geometries. The project is thus devoted to the development of reliable numerical tools for the
modelling and prediction of heat transfer for moderately rarefied gaseous flows (I.e. within slip flow
regime) in realistic geometries, evaluating the relative importance of the different effects involved,
such as compressibility, rarefaction, roughness, geometry.
This project is a collaboration between 3 partners: the University of Udine, Italy (Dipartimento di
Energetica e Macchine, http://www.uniud.it/dem/) which has a long experience in the field of
Computational Fluid Dynamics, mostly focused on the analysis of heat transfer devices, in particular
in compressible and incompressible microchannel flows; Forschungszentrum, Karlsruhe (Germany,
http://www.fzk.de), which provides deep expertise in micro and nanofabrication and characterisation,
performing all steps from design to manufacturing of MEMS; Université de Provence Aix-Marseille I,
France (http://www.univ-provence.fr), which as significant experience in low pressure and mass flow
rates measurements, as well as analytical modelling of rarefied flows. The researcher will spend the
majority of their time at Udine University, with a 5-month stay at Forschungszentrum, Karlsruhe,
getting acquainted with the requirements and constraints imposed on actual MEMS by the
manufacturing process, and a 6-month stay at Université de Provence, where the researcher will
exploit the laboratory experimental expertise in order to get a deep understanding of the mechanism
of gas material interaction.
Eligibility
At the time of their appointment, applicants should:
· be in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers, from the date of
obtaining the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate;
· be of any nationality, except a national of the Italy. In the case of an applicant holding more
than one nationality (including Italy citizenship), he/she will be eligible if he/she has not
resided in the Italy during the previous 5 years;
· not have resided or carried out his/her main activity in Italy for more than 12 months in the 3
years immediately prior to his/her appointment. Short stays such as holidays are not taken
into account;
· if they hold Italian nationality, be legally resident and have their main activity in a country not
from the EU and not belonging to the list given at
ftp://ftp.cordis.europa.eu/pub/fp7/docs/third_country_agreements_en.pdf for at least three of
the last four years immediately prior to their appointment;
· if in doubt about their eligibility for this position, contact Prof Croce, whose contact details are
listed below.
Requirements
This is a challenging and highly rewarding course of study and therefore the successful candidate
should have the following qualifications:
· a Masters-level degree in Engineering or Physics, with high standard results;
· a good background in fluid mechanics and programming in Fortran and/or C++;
· excellent communication skills and written/verbal knowledge of the English language;
· high autonomy and adaptability skills;
· if the candidate has some experience in microfluidics and/or in CFD techniques, this would be a
benefit.
