Neurophysics: 8 PhD positions and 2 Post-doc positions in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany or Belgium in the field of Neuroimaging.

FMRI is a fast developing technique that permits addressing core questions in cognitive neuroscience in the human brain. The future of this technique resides in pushing hardware to permit ultra-high field scanning at superior spatial resolution, developing advanced data analysis, and combining the technique with other approaches, including EEG, TMS, PET, as well as pharmacology and molecular biology. These goals are pursued by a consortium of 4 partners consisting of Maastricht University (Brain Imaging Centre), Research Centre Juelich (MR Physics), University of Liege (Cyclotron Research Centre) and Glaxo-Smith- Kline (Clinical Imaging Centre London). Funding comes from a Marie-Curie Initial Training Network grant.

Description
To advance research goals at the consortium, we are looking for applicants who
(1) show a drive to investigate a core question in cognitive neuroscience which can be theoretical (e.g., perception, attention, memory) or more clinical in nature (e.g., dementia, neurofeedback in locked-in patients);
(2) are motivated to use and/or help engineer cutting-edge methods of data acquisition (physics) and data analysis;
(3) enjoy the (technical) challenges of working in an integrative, multidisciplinary environment. Relevant backgrounds include engineering, physics, mathematics, advanced statistics and data analysis, molecular biology, software programming, computational modelling, and cognitive neuroscience. The ideal candidate combines skills from several of these disciplines.

We offer a unique, integrative research environment where world-leading scientists will integrate accepted applicants into their research teams. A 1.5y training programme has been set up to offer additional, high-level training in all domains relevant for the research (for an overview of all offered courses:
http://www.psychology.unimaas.nl/images/pdf_files/courseoverview.pdf).

The Marie Curie – Initial Training Network `Methods in Neuroimaging` graduate school offers:
– 3 PhD positions and 1 Post-doc position in biophysics and MR physics at Research Centre Juelich (Germany)
– 3 PhD positions and 1 Post-doc position in brain imaging data acquisition and analysis (combination of methods) at Brain Imaging Centre, Maastricht University (The Netherlands)
– 2 PhD positions in the field of brain imaging data acquisition and analysis (combination of methods) at Cyclotron Research Centre, Université de Liège (Belgium)

It was founded in 1961 and offers education and research in areas ranging from public policy studies and applied physics to biomedical technology. The University has approximately 2700 employees and 8000 MSc and BSc students and is the Netherlands` only campus university.

The Netherlands Defense Academy and the University of Twente are looking for a:

PhD for a PhD research project

Expeditionary Construction Management: A research on construction management processes in stabilization and reconstruction operations.

Scope of the Ph.D. project:
In several (post-) conflict situations, military involvement in (re)construction of local roads, schools and hospitals is necessary to create stability. The scarcity of military engineers and the necessity to be involved in such non-military activities – as a part of a wider comprehensive conflict approach – forces the military organization to outsource these activities. Outsourcing construction projects to – in particular – local contractors increases local capacity-building and local ownership. Despite these advantages, the military organization also faces many difficulties regarding tendering, controlling, monitoring and evaluating construction projects which are performed by local parties. In order to overcome these difficulties, the objective of this research project is to develop a new construction management process model which suits the specific needs of construction management in stabilization and reconstruction operations. The PhD will spend about 20% of his time on teaching courses to NDLA-students.

Profile:
The candidate is expected to have a Master degree in construction management, civil engineering, business administration, economics or a comparable subject. Excellent analytical skills are a must. Furthermore, the candidate should be able to work in a multidisciplinary and dynamic work environment and be able to read and understand Dutch and to write and speak English.

Offer:
We offer the possibility to work on an interesting Ph.D. project for 4 years.The salary scale, starts at of € 2042,- gross per month for the first year, and will lead up to € 2612,- in the fourth year based upon the job profile for PhD researcher (in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities). In addition, the University of Twente offers attractive fringe benefits.

Location:
The PhD will be located at Faculty of Military Sciences of the Netherlands Defense Academy (NDLA) in Breda. Because of the military context of this project, screening will be part of the procedure.

Information:
For more information, please contact dr. H. Voordijk (j.t.voordijk[at]utwente.nl) or dr. ir. E. Dado (E.Dado[at]nlda.nl).
