At the Department of Solid State Sciences of Ghent University a position for a PhD student is available.
Within the Defects in SemiConductors (DiSC) group, a position is available for a motivated researcher for experimental research in the field of defects in Cu(In/Ga)Se2 (CIGS) and related materials. Solar cells with a CIGS absorber layer are presently intensively studied because of their high efficiency at low fabrication cost. Although defects in the absorber layer are generally considered as detrimental for the efficiency due to their impact on free carrier lifetime, little is known about their structure and its link with their electrical activity. The project will, on the one hand, focus on defect characterization of actual solar cell structures. On the other hand, large single crystals of CIGS and related materials will be investigated with various spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis and IR absorption and luminescence spectroscopy, electron magnetic resonance, deep-level transient spectroscopy) to obtain a deeper insight in the structure of the dominant electrically active defects in them.
Strong interest in experimental solid state physics and/or chemistry (relevant experience considered as an advantage)
Candidates should be fluent in Dutch and/or English (both oral and in writing).

Overview
The European Master in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis aims at providing a high quality education in designing and assessing public policies targeted to the agricultural and food sector as well as the rural environment. This European Master responds to the increasing need to better understand and anticipate the various and often complex socio-economic and environmental effects of these policies either in a functioning market economy as in the European Uni0n or in economies in a development or transition phase. The European Master offers a two-year academic curriculum with integrated and advanced theoretical, methodological and empirical courses in economics and quantitative methods as well as in agricultural, food and environmental sciences, agricultural and trade policy, environmental and natural resource policy, rural development policy and agribusiness management and market analysis. To connect theory and methodology to practice, a problem solving project is developed and presented as a master thesis at the end of the two-year curriculum.
Partner universities
The European Master is jointly organised by five leading European educational and research institutions:
Admission criteria
To be admitted to the European Master in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis candidates need to have a Bachelor degree or an equivalent academic degree of minimum three years of undergraduate study corresponding to 180 ECTS. Students in their final year of their Bachelor degree may be admitted in the Master programme on the condition that their Bachelor degree is awarded before they enrol the programme. All candidates also need to have followed courses in mathematics, statistics and economics as well as agricultural, food and environmental sciences at least at an introductory level. Candidates must agree to complete the academic curriculum in two consecutive academic years and to the terms in the study contract as specified by the AFEPA consortium.
Candidates from English speaking countries must provide an official letter from their university from which they graduated attesting that English is the media of instruction. All other candidates need to provide evidence that they master English at a level corresponding to a minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper version), 213 (computer version) or 79 (internet version) or a minimum overall band IELTS score of 6 or with a signal deemed equivalent by the AFEPA consortium. Candidates who choose to study at UCL and UPC also need to prove that their command of French and Spanish, respectively, is sufficient for them to participate in courses at these two institutions. If French and Spanish are neither their mother tongue nor the language of their past study, it is advised that these candidates obtain the B1 threshold level of the Common European Framework of Reference, i.e., they can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc. For French, it corresponds to the DELF B level and for Spanish to the DELE “intermedio” level.
Candidates can apply for an Erasmus Mundus scholarship except those who have already benfited from an Erasmus Mundus Master Course scholarship or are benefiting from another European Community grant while pursuing their Erasmus Mundus master studies.

Further Scholarship Information and Application
MERIT is a multi-track research oriented Master programme within the guidelines of the Bologna process whose scope is Information and Communication Technologies. MERIT is a European 2-year post-graduate programme taught in English at the following institutions:
- Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain
- Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden
- Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), formerly University of Karlsruhe, Germany

-Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), Louvain, Belgium
MERIT Erasmus Mundus Category A student scholarships are addressed for highly qualified non-European students willing to study the MERIT programme in two of the above institutions beginning September 2011. The number of MERIT Erasmus Mundus Category A student scholarships for the MERIT course 2011-2013 has not yet been determined.
Additional Category A student scholarships for students under the Western Balkans and Turkey Window will also be granted.
MERIT Erasmus Mundus Category B student scholarships are addressed for highly qualified European students willing to study the MERIT programme in two of the above institutions beginning September 2011. The number of MERIT Erasmus Mundus Category B student scholarships for the MERIT programme 2011-2013 has not yet been determined.

Further Scholarship Information and Application
Hasselt University announces, within I-Biostat (the Interuniversity Institute for Biostatistics and statistical Bioinformatics), the following position (m/f):
PhD student Biostatistics (6 months) (mandate 090/32/083)
Job description
PhD in Mathematics, applied to research in ‘Biostatistics and Bioinformatics’
Authorities and official bodies world-wide require animal experiments in order to be able to guarantee the safety of clinical tests on humans for medical products. Through implementation of what they call the “3Rs” initiative, the NIH has been striving to develop alternative product testing methods that will: Reduce the number of animals used in testing, Refine testing procedures so animals experience less pain and distress; or Replace animals with non-animal testing systems.
The goal of this project is to investigate innovative statistical approaches that offer ways to reduce the number of animals in future toxicology studies to obtain the same information as is currently the case, or obtain more information from existing data sets (better study design, dose-response models, more accurate response variables, complex hierarchical clustering models. Longitudinal models,…). In addition and also within the “3Rs” initiative, this project wants to investigate the predictive potential of particular in-vitro tests for in-vivoanimal experiments . To that purpose multivariate projection methods, surrogate-marker methodologies, joint modeling of multivariate outcomes of different data types,.. will be in demand.
The main goal of this 6 months period is to prepare the candidate for a Baekeland Grant. Both in September and in January an application for such grant will be submit and an extension for the next 4 years is conditional on the success of these applications. In case of a successful application a PhD will be initiated.
Profile
*Experience with the design and analysis of statistical applications (e.g in the pharmaceutical industry);
*experience in the use of statistical software such as SAS, S-Plus, R, StatXact, etc.;
*excellent knowledge of the English language and good scientific writing skills;
*be intrinsically motivated, think analytically and creatively, work in an organised and focused manner;
*enjoy working in an multidisciplinary and multicultural environment.
Diploma
Master degree in (Bio-)Statistics or an equivalent degree.
Offer
The appointment takes effect from June 1, 2010, for a period of 6 months, extendable to a total period of 4 years conditional on the success of a Baekeland Grant
