PhD Position with A Research Focus on Image Analysis and Transport Properties in Freeze Drying
The Chair of Process Systems Engineering at Technical University of Munich (location at TUM School of Life Sciences Weihenstephan, Freising) is seeking from Jan 2019 a doctoral research assistant with a focus on image analysis and transport properties of porous materials with regard to freeze drying.
Project
Drying is an important unit operation with the aim of facilitating transport, handling and shelf life. Freeze drying is an expensive drying technology for pharmaceuticals and high-value foods. The efficiency of the freeze drying process is strongly dependent on the pore structure. Therefore, the impact of pore structure on the drying front and kinetics should be investigated. Furthermore, possibilities to influence the pore structure by the freezing process shall be investigated. The pore structure will be analysed by x-Ray computed tomography and image analysis. Based on the pore structure, a pore network model will be developed by our cooperation partner of OVGU Magdeburg. The model will be validated at TUM by measurements with a freeze drying microscope.
Your profile
A qualified candidate has good communication skills, interest in interdisciplinary work and collaboration with the partner as well as a high motivation for image analysis and transport properties in porous media. A degree in chemical/process/food or bioprocess engineering, physics or a similar field with above-average grades is required. Experience in image analysis, freeze drying and transport in porous systems is advantageous.
Our offer
The position is temporary and shall be filled in the beginning of 2019. The successful candidate will be pursuing a PhD. We offer a scientifically diverse working environment with much personal responsibility and scope for action. Payment is according to qualification and follows TV-L (German Collective Agreement for Public Services). In the case of comparable suitability, aptitude and professional achievements, candidates with a severe disability will be given preference. Applications from women are particularly welcome.

Vacancy for 2 PhD candidates in Developmental Psychobiolog at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior
Dear All,
We are looking for two highly capable, eager, and intrinsically motivated PhD candidates. The projects are embedded in the Developmental Psychobiology Lab at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior in Nijmegen (the Netherlands). These positions are funded by a personal VICI grant awarded to Prof. Carolina de Weerth and funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). The grant is on healthy children’s gut microbial colonization in relation to stress early in life and later brain functioning, behavior, and cognition.
PhD 1: The aim of this project is to test a new psychobiological model of human development within an ongoing longitudinal study in healthy children. In this study, we will study the independent and potentially combined contributions of stress and microbiota in early life and in adolescence on brain structure, brain function, behavior problems, and cognitive capacities.
PhD 2: The aim of this project is to study two potential causal mechanisms through which maternal psychological stress, as an early life stress-inducing factor, can negatively affect infant microbial colonization and development. For this study, pregnant mothers and their infants will be followed from mid-pregnancy until the child reaches age 1.
Application deadline: December 3rd.
Additional information about the vacancy can be obtained from Prof. Dr. Carolina de Weerth

Post Doctor in Realtime Individualization of Bci at Lund University
Do you want to be part of a research environment committed to address the challenges essential to create a future sustainable society that meets the needs of humanity? Then these two WASP Expeditions positions, one with location at Mathematical Statistics and one with location at Automatic Control, are aimed for you! Controlling the physical world with our mind only, opens up for a vast number of exciting opportunities. Over the recent years, brain computer interfaces (BCIs) have improved steadily, both from advances in algorithms and in hardware. BCIs based on high time resolution electroencephalography (EEG) have a great potential in a wide area of applications. The overarching idea in this project is to apply a tight feedback loop around the complete individualized BCI learning process. By connecting all stages of the learning process, including feature extraction from the input brain data to the classification of neural patterns, the aim is to drastically decrease the problem with long learning times and improve accuracy and reliability. Utilizing and extending a number of state-of-the-art techniques, such as optimal time-frequency representations, Riemann geometry based learning, dual control theory and cognitive modeling combined with edge based cloud computing the intention is to provide an efficient platform for next-generation BCIs, demonstrable within the time span of the project as a consumer-friendly EEG BCI.

PhD Position on Microbial Electrochemical Conversion, Delft University of Technology
Functieomschrijving
The envisioned circular economy is depending on efficient raw materials (re)use without any harmful emissions into the environment. Clean recycling technologies must be developed that are efficient in usage of water, energy, nutrients, and carbon. Bioelectrochemical production system (BES) is an emerging clean technology driven by renewable energy in which CO2 and/or organics are converted and valorized into valuable chemicals. BES uses microorganisms as cheap, robust, and self-repairing catalysts. The task of the PhD candidate is to explore the interface between the electrode material and the biocatalyst (i.e. biofilm), for the production of specific chemicals. Understanding the mechanisms occurring within this interface will allow to enhance the performance of the technology, and gain control over it. The expected outcome is a PhD thesis on the topic. The PhD candidate will also be involved in education activities, as course assistant and as supervisor of BSc/ MSc graduation projects. Further requirements include fluency in English, good communicative/reporting skills, and team working capacity.

PhD student / Research fellow positions for Masters of Science in Engineering with maritime specialisation (Naval Architecture) on mathematical modelling of ship manoeuvring in shallow water
Job description
The Maritime Technology Division (www.maritiem.ugent.be) is a research group within the Department of Civil Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Ghent University. Their research is focussing on hydrodynamics of ships and other floating structures in general, and more particularly on the behaviour of ships in confined navigation areas. Additionally, the division is involved in research w.r.t. hydrodynamics of wave energy conversion and, more recently, engineering aspects of aquaculture.
The behaviour of ships in restricted waters (access channels, canals, locks, harbour docks) is the major research topic of the Division. This research, covering the hydrodynamics of seagoing and inland vessels in navigation areas with restrictions in both depth and horizontal extent, is performed in close co-operation with Flanders Hydraulics Research (FHR, Flemish Government, Antwerp) within the Knowledge Centre Manoeuvring in Shallow and Confined Water (www.shallowwater.ugent.be/). This research can be considered as a niche within the field of ship hydrodynamics, as ships are mostly designed for open, deep sea; as a result, most ship hydrodynamics research worldwide is mainly focused on deep water conditions. For this reason, the Knowledge Centre has gained international recognition as one of the leading research groups in ship behaviour in confined waters. Such conditions are of main concern for ships in access channels to ports, harbour areas, docks, locks, berths.
