PhD Project: The Ultimate Scintillator

dikutip dr kalenderbeasiswa.com ------------------------------------------ The Department of Radiation, Radionuclides and Reactors (www.rrr.tudelft.nl) is located in the Reactor Institute Delft (RID). The department's common focus is nuclear radiation and reactions. Although its areas of interest are varied, from materials, sensors and instrumentation, to energy, sustainable production and health, all the department's research is related to radiation in some way. In experimental research, extensive use is made of the research facilities of the Reactor Institute Delft as well as of large, international research facilities. The Radiation Detection & Matter (RD&M) section conducts intensive research on the physics of light-emitting inorganic semiconducting or insulating materials. Our main expertise concerns the light emission of lanthanide impurities. Through many years of applied and fundamental research on scintillators, lamp and display phosphors, and afterglow and storage phosphors, general models have been developed in our section that explain and predict observed phenomena. This has resulted in the invention of exciting new scintillators like LaBr3:Ce3+ that are now commercially available and applied in radiation detection instruments for space exploration and medical diagnostics. Our models also allow for the design of new lanthanide-based photonic materials. JOB DESCRIPTION You will perform applied and fundamental research on luminescent materials with the aim to develop new compounds that possess even better scintillation properties than LaBr3:Ce. Inorganic crystals or powders will be synthesized by experts on crystal growth and materials synthesis elsewhere. Your task is to study the luminescence and scintillation properties of these new materials with dedicated experimental techniques in our own laboratory or at facilities abroad. REQUIREMENTSThe section seeks a PhD student, preferably with a degree in experimental solid state physics. The results should be presented in scientific journals and at international conferences. Delft University of Technology is a bilingual organisation; a good command of English (written and spoken) is essential. CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENTThe successful candidate will be employed full-time by TU Delft for a fixed period of four years within which he or she is expected to write a dissertation leading to a doctoral degree (PhD thesis). The starting salary for a PhD is €2042 gross per month increasing to a maximum of € 2612 gross per month in the fourth year. TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, free high-speed Internet access from home, and the option of assembling a customized compensation and benefits package Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. Delft University of Technology strives to increase the number of women in higher academic positions; women are therefore especially encouraged to apply. APPLICATION To apply, please send a detailed CV along with a letter of application by 1 April, 2009 to Mekelweg 15, Attn: Ms. T. Miedema, 2629 JB Delft, The Netherlands; or e-mail your application to: t.miedema@tudelft.nl FURTHER INFORMATION ,___

website link: http://www.imtlucca.it/phd_programs/call_for_applications/index.php Competitions for admission are open in the following PhD Programs at IMT: Computer Science and Engineering Theories developed within computer science have been, and still are, remarkably relevant not only for developing devices and tools which are commonly used in today society, but also for facing new theoretical problems of wide perspective. In particular, the study of models, algorithms and verification methods of distributed systems with shared resources, with attention to the problems of security, concurrency, real time, "open endness", distributed decisions, etc. has fostered the development of the informatics of the new wide area networks. Students acquire extensive knowledge of the fundamentals and applications of architectures and languages for global and grid computing, web systems and services, in particular for business applications, embedded systems, web data mining, wired and wireless networks, and mobile systems. In addition to offering broad scope for basic research, these domains define a professional area where all the needs of computer applications on wide are networks can find their fulfilment.

A distinctive character of the PhD program is the strong integration of theoretical, technical and practical expertise, aimed to educate highly qualified professionals, who analyze, plan, and manage concrete interventions of political economy. Theoretical methodologies and models will therefore tested through the methodical/systematic investigation of actual cases. At the end of the program, students will be able to catch commonalities as well as distinctive characters of the several markets, in reference to economic laws, market regulations, contractual, managing and organizational solutions. Political Systems and Institutional Change The PhD Program aims to make students familiar with analytical tools and methodologies of investigation elaborated within different contemporary traditions in social sciences, thereby providing the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to both evaluate comparatively the performance of institutional systems, and elaborate proposals for structural reforms. The courses will especially focus on the historical, political, institutional and economic dynamics that have been characterising the development of European and ex Soviet countries after the Second Word War. They will then consider among other topics: the institutional and decisional dynamics of European countries and the European Union including the trends towards multilevel governance both at the European and at the domestic level (federalisation, independent regulatory authorities, etc.); transatlantic relations EU-US; relations between politics, social processes and political economy decisions; paths of economic and political development; the institutional workings of international organisations; the characters of some geographical areas of special relevance.
