Ph.D. Positions at Aalborg University, Denmark

Center for Data-Intensive Systems, Daisy (http://daisy.aau.dk/), has several fully funded Ph.D. positions available. The positions concern research in data management technologies that aim to allow energy distribution infrastructures to manage higher amounts of renewable energy and to better balance supply and demand. The production of renewable energy depends on external factors such as wind and sunlight. Hence, available energy from renewable sources can only be predicted, not planned, This renders it challenging for energy distributors to efficiently accommodate renewable energy sources. The research will explore the use of so-called micro requests for controlling demand and supply at the level of individual households. The research calls for advanced, distributed...

Research Positions in Agricultural Innovation Processes and Policies

RIU is a research and development programme designed to put agricultural research into use for developmental purposes and to conduct research on how to do this. The programme is funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). It follows earlier investments by DFID in agricultural and natural resources research supported through its renewable natural resources research strategy (RRNRRS). While this strategy delivered high quality research the uptake of this research and its impact on social and economic progress was modest. RIU has appointed the LINK programme (www.innovationstudies.org) of UNU-MERIT (www.merit.unu) to act as its Central Research Team (CRT) with overall responsibility for designing and implementing its research. The CRT is headed by Dr. Andy Hall. Research...

PhD Scholarships in Biomaterials for Cochlear Implants The University of Queensland

2 PhD Scholarships in Biomaterials for Cochlear Implants The University of Queensland With Cochlear Ltd and Aortech Pty Ltd PhD Scholarships in Biomaterials – Next Generation Insulation for Cochlear Implants Currently, soft silicone materials are employed as insulation for implantable Cochlear electrode arrays. However these materials have limited tensile properties and tear resistance, thereby significantly hampering the scope for new and more complex electrode array designs. The central aim of this project is to explore new insulation materials with similar flexibility, biocompatibility, biostability and electrical insulation to silicone, but with far superior tensile and tear strength. This will be achieved through the development of biomedical polyurethane nanocomposites via a collaboratively-...
