PhD position in Ceramics Science: Drying of ceramic thin films

Firma/Institution: Darmstadt University of Technology (Germany)
Land: Germany
Position:PhD Position
eingegangen am:28/03/2007

Beschreibung:
A PhD position (Doktorandenstellen) is available at the Materials
Science Department of Darmstadt University of Technology (Germany). The
successful candidate will integrate a young research team focusing on the
development of new ceramic processes in a dynamic and international
work environment.

The drying is a necessary step in the manufacturing of ceramic
layers when using particle suspensions. The evaporation of solvent
induces shrinkage and stresses in the drying layer, which can create cracks
and delamination from the substrate. Experimental work encompasses thin
film processing and in-situ measurement of physical and mechanical
properties by means of innovative techniques during drying. The
experimental data will be used to develop a predictive model of drying.

Ideal candidates have a good background both in materials
science and mechanics.

High motivation, ability to work in team but also autonomy,
curiosity, very good experimental skills as well as interest in theoretical
approaches are expected.

This project will include cooperative work in Germany and
abroad.

Fluency in English is required, knowledge of German is
appreciated.

Salary is funded by the German Research Organization (DFG) for
a duration of 3 years, at the rate of 5/6 Bat IIa.

Envisioned start time: flexible, from May 2007

Darmstadt University of Technology specifically encourages female
candidates to apply with a view towards increasing the proportion of female
scientists. Handicapped persons with comparable qualifications receive
preferential status.
Interested candidates should send their application per mail (in
English or German, including a cover letter indicating their motivation to
apply for this position, detailed CV, certificates, a short summary of
research, references…). E-mail applications will not be considered.

Asia Pacific MDG Media Awards

About the Awards
The Asia-Pacific MDGs Media Awards honor distinguished reporting on
the Millennium Development Goals by producers and journalists in
print, radio and television covering the Asia-Pacific region.

The MDGs form a human development blueprint agreed to by all the
world's countries and all the world's leading development
institutions. There are eight goals, all with time-bound targets to
be achieved by the year 2015. The MDGs represent a vision of a
better world with less poverty, universal primary education, gender
equality, healthy mothers and children, a world no longer threatened
by the HIV/AIDS pandemic and dwindling environmental resources.

The Awards aim to generate better awareness and understanding of the
MDGs in Asia-Pacific, and motivate journalists from the region to
cover stories on how MDGs are being pursued in the region. It is
also hoped that media will be stimulated, through the Awards, to
become a driving force in accelerating national action toward
achieving the MDGs.

A team of professional and independent jurors for each category will
select the winning entries on 30-31 March 2007 at the AIBD office in
Kuala Lumpur. Criteria will cover accuracy and innovation, clarity

Qatar: 2007 Fellowships to ATTEND Islamic Art Symposium

Fellowships Available to ATTEND Islamic Art Symposium at VCU, Qatar

RICHMOND, Va.— Fellowships for travel and accommodation are available for scholars of Islamic art to attend Rivers of Paradise: Water in Islamic Art and Culture at VCU\’s Qatar campus Nov. 4-6, 2007.

The Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development and the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Arts are offering 15 Hamad Bin Khalifa travel fellowships.

The Hamad Bin Khalifa Symposium on Islamic Art strives to foster the development of an international community of researchers and scholars in Islamic art and cultures. The fellowship provides financial support for conference attendance and recognition of scholars from diverse geographic and cultural areas, including those from the less developed and less well-funded countries.

Many scholars, who more characteristically conduct research for years with minimal support, are having a hard time believing that these generous fellowships are merely to attend the symposium, and not to present papers, as is usual with travel fellowships.
Thirteen speakers from around the world from a variety of disciplines will explore the theme of water in the Islamic lands from southern Europe to South Asia from the 7th century to the present. Topics range from the supply and distribution of water to its role in religion and popular culture.

Attendance at the Rivers of Paradise: Water in Islamic Art and Culture Symposium in Doha, Qatar is an opportunity for advanced students and other scholars from around the world to meet and interact with one another. The fellowship will also allow students and scholars to visit Doha, one of the fastest-growing Islamic Art centers in the Middle East.
Sheila S. Blair and Jonathan M. Bloom, shared holders of the Hamad bin Khalifa Endowed Chair of Islamic Art at VCU and the Norma Jean Calderwood University Chair of Islamic and Asian Art at Boston College, and curators of the acclaimed current exhibition of Islamic art Cosmophilia, are convening the conference.

Online fellowship applications are due June 1, 2007. Complimentary symposium registration will be available July 2007. For more information contact Diane Tepfer at dtepfer@vcu.edu and click http://www.islamicartdoha.org/

Before Herman Moore died last year, he and Bernard Clark and Bernard Lewis often talked about the three local agriculture-oriented families establishing a scholarship. The scholarship, they felt, should go to student who participated in the annual West Florida Livestock Association Show and Sale.

Moore did not live to see it, but last week, a three family scholarship was established during the 63rd annual show and sale. Called the CLM Scholarships first recipient will be announced in 2008.

“Mr. Moore was very active in the show and sale. He participated as a child and teenager when, because of segregation, there were two shows and sales. After integration, his son, Gerard, participated and now his grandson, Jake and Ethan, are participating.” said Agriculture Extension Service Director Henry Grant. The families or their representatives will determine the criterior for the scholarship recipient.

Clark and Lewis said they are honored to have their named associated with the scholarship.

Grant said that Moore was a valued member of the West Florida Livestock Association. “He provided the pigs each year for the Pig Scramble,” Grant said.

The three men, said Grant, have been unwavering supporters of the show and sale and of the young participants. “They were always available to give them tips and advice on how best to show and groom their animals,” he said.

The Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students (EJU) is used to evaluate whether international students who wish to study at the undergraduate level at universities or other such higher educational institutions in Japan possess the Japanese language skills and the basic academic abilities needed to study at those institutions.

EJU takes the place of both the Japanese Language Proficiency Test and the General Examination for Foreign Students (no longer administered as of December 2001), which many universities (undergraduate level) and other higher educational institutions in Japan previously required international students to take for admission. Starting in 2002, EJU will be administered twice a year (June and November) in Japan and other countries and regions. For a list of examination sites, see “Examination sites.”

EJU includes the following subject tests: Japanese as a Foreign Language, Science (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology), Japan and the World, and Mathematics. Applicants select which subject tests to take based on the requirements of the Japanese university they wish to enter. The examination is available in Japanese or English, and applicants may specify, at the time of application, the examination language they wish to take (the Japanese as a Foreign Language test is administered in Japanese only).
