Phd Position Scholarships for Students

Scholarships for Students In all applications, the magnetic complex processes by carefully combining the equations of Maxwell's equations, precision engineering and micro-magnetic can be determined. The resulting software algorithms to the GPU hardware implements the most advanced and effective time available (GPU: Graphical Processing Units) are. Compared with its immense computational power to standard CPU calculations, the software opens a whole new set of research opportunities, the physics of magnetic materials rich who can understand are used in various applications.

Scholarships for Students In practice, this thesis primarily on the development of numerical algorithms for solving large systems of coupled equations in magnetism. Depending on the interests of the candidates can focus on the GPU-efficient implementation of algorithms and engineering applications are provided.
Profile

We are Scholarships for Students currently looking for a new PhD student with a masters degree in either electromechanical, electrical or physical engineering or a masters degree in physics. The research topic is the development of algorithms that efficiently solve complex coupled equations in a magnetic context.Scholarships for Students An interest in programming numerical code is required.

PhD Scholarships for Students Studentships at School of Engineering Sciences

A PhD Scholarships for Students is now available in the Engineering Materials and Surface Engineering research group, School of Engineering Sciences (SES), which fully covers University tuition fees (at EU/UK level**) and provides a tax-free bursary of £13,900 per year, rising in October, in line with the UK Government (EPSRC) recommended rate, for a 3-year duration. **EU/UK fees £3732 p.a., Overseas fee £16,120 p.a. (figures subject to annual increase). This Scholarships for Students position is available to EU/UK applicants only, unless additional funding/scholarships are obtained by the student to cover the overseas fees difference (£12,388 for 2011/12).
Phase boundaries are “blurred” at the nano-scale, enabling alloys of otherwise immiscible elements and the possibility of novel nanoparticles for electrochemical energy conversion technologies (fuel cells and batteries). You will theoretically investigate the dependence of miscibility on particle size using Density-Functional-Theory (DFT) and tailored, fast-evaluating Hamiltonians. You will take advantage of automated DFT calculations to generate a database of reference calculations and construct fast-evaluating energy models to push beyond the level of complexity suitable for DFT. You will study the thermodynamics of metallic nanoparticles, leading to phase diagrams as a function of particle size. You are excited about Science with a strong interest in Materials Science. You are interested in alternative energies, electrochemistry, as well as theoretical research. You bring exceptional computational skills and are interested in machine learning. You enjoy exploring new ideas, are self-motivated, and like to work in a young and dynamic team. The School is a diverse community which is committed to creating an inclusive working and learning environment in which all individuals are equally treated and valued, and can achieve their potential. The School considers all studentship applications in relation to academic criteria and regardless of the individual’s race, nationality, gender, or belief.
Eligibility: Scholarships for Students Candidates will have a first or upper second class degree (orequivalent) in relevant disciplines, e.g. Materials Science, Physics or Chemistry. The successful candidate will work with a group of highly motivated, first class research students in the areas of Computational Materials Design, Thermodynamics, Electrochemistry, and Alternative Energies Commencing on 1 October 2011

Scholarship Application Deadline: 30 August 2011

PhD College Scholarships for Students Programme

ultrafast imaging with a view to exploring structural changes of atoms, molecules, condensed, biological, or warm dense matter on femtosecond time scales.
Employer: IMPRS Ultrafast Imaging and Structural Dynamics
College Scholarships Level: PhD

Scholarships Description: IMPRS-UFAST is a PhD programme which offers unique training opportunities in the field of ultrafast imaging with a view to exploring structural changes of atoms, molecules, condensed, biological, or warm dense matter on femtosecond time scales.

Students work and research alongside an international and interdisciplinary team of experts with access to first-class research facilities and whilst obtaining a PhD degree. Our mission is to enable young scientists to achieve their full potential through supervised thesis research complemented by a multifaceted programme of lectures, interactive workshops and advanced courses. The duration of the programme is 3 years.

IMPRS-UFAST students normally graduate from the programme with a doctorate (Dr. rer. Nat, the German equivalent to a PhD) which is awarded by the University of Hamburg. The language of instruction is English and the Research School strives to attract a diversity of talented students from around the world. Funding in form of stipends and PhD contracts is available. Applicants will hold or are about to receive an MSc, a German “Diplom” or an equivalent degree in an area relevant to the programme.

Please apply online under http://www.imprs-ufast.de/application_and_admission/ . The programme starts in October 2011.The IMPRS-UFAST is a collaboration of the Max Planck Society, the University of Hamburg, Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY), and European XFEL GmbH. The location of the School is Hamburg, Germany.
