Dickinson College invites applications for an 18-month Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar in Sustainability of Human-Environment Interactions
to begin August 2009. The successful candidate will carry out a research project using spatial concepts and geographic information science methods (e.g. GIS) to explore questions about human interactions with the environment and implications for sustainability. The research project should be broadly interdisciplinary and address questions at the interface of at least two of the following: humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Projects are sought with a focus on problems related to food systems and sustainable agriculture or land use change impacts on biogeochemical cycles and other ecosystem goods and services of watersheds, but proposals of projects on other aspects of human-environment interactions will also be considered. In addition to carrying out the proposed research project, the successful applicant will be expected to give a series of lectures as part of a colloquium on problems in sustainability, teach or co-teach one or two courses during the 18-month appointment in an area related to the applicant's expertise, and interact with undergraduates who are conducting research on topics related to the applicant's research.
The purpose of the Visiting Scholar appointment is to model for Dickinson faculty and students how spatial concepts and analytic methods can be applied to problems in sustainability and to provide the Visiting Scholar an opportunity to carry out a research project while gaining experience for successful research and teaching at a liberal arts college. Collaborations on research and teaching are strongly desired by our faculty, including faculty in Africana studies, American studies, anthropology, archaeology, biology, chemistry, community studies, East Asian studies, English, environmental science, geology, health studies, history, Latin American studies, and sociology. The Visiting Scholar will be affiliated with
Dickinson's new Center for Environmental and Sustainability Education and other departments as appropriate, and will also work closely with Dickinson's GIS Specialist to promote the use of GIS throughout the college curriculum.
To be eligible, candidates must have received a doctoral degree in 2004 or later, or expect to successfully defend a dissertation no later than August 2009, demonstrated expertise with geographic information systems (GIS), a record of research that applies spatial analysis to problems of human-environment interactions, and teaching experience. Knowledge of spatial statistics would be advantageous. The successful applicant will receive a salary and benefits commensurate with experience and will be
eligible to apply for additional financial support for travel, research and
professional development.
Apply on-line at:
https://jobs. dickinson. edu/applicants/ Central?quickFin d=50670. Application
materials must include (1) a letter of application with statement of research and teaching interests, (2) a research proposal of up to 3 pages with indication of modest budget needs, (3) a curriculum vitae, (4) a graduate transcript, and (5) names and contact details of three references. Applications received by February 2, 2009, will receive full consideration. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
Dickinson College is committed to diversity, and we encourage candidates who will contribute to meeting that goal to apply. Applications and nominations of women and minorities are strongly encouraged.

Staff Manager Marita Wiktorsson, +46 (0) 13 282177, marwi@tema.liu. se, can provide information about salary and the conditions for employment.
Link?ping University (LiU) is characterized by cooperation across subject and faculty borders and by an entrepreneurial spirit in education. Since its foundation in the 1970's, the university has established itself as an innovative and modern institution in both education and research. For instance, LiU is actively engaged in becoming a gender-conscious university, through both research into gender issues, policy making, and more practical measures such as the existence of gender coordinators at each faculty. Scientific excellence and societal benefit are the two guiding principles of LiU. The university is committed not only to preparing its students for the future, but also to fostering research which will have a defining role in shaping this future. During the past decade LiU has experienced rapidgrowth, involving the establishment of a new campus in the twin city of Norrk?ping. With a student population of 25 000 and 3 500 employees, LiU is one of the major universities in Sweden.
The Tema Institute (TEMA) at LiU aims to pursue excellent research and education at undergraduate and advanced levels relevant to society. The Tema Institute aims to provide a major impetus in career development for both future researchers and those who have just entered the field of research. The profile of TEMA since the start has been founded on an interdisciplinary environment, and today there is an emphasis on integrating education and research - to see education and research as interdependent. Important assets for the Institute are the extended responsibility for co-workers and the measures brought about to support progress in education and at the same time advance interdisciplinary research. The Institute is led by a Board and has approximately 200 employees, of which 60 are PhD-students. At the levels ofresearch, research training, post- and under graduate education, the Institute is characterized by multi- and interdisciplinary research areas where social scientists, scholars and natural scientists work together. TEMA is organized in four themes, besides Gender Studies (TEMA GENUS), there are also Child Studies, Technology and Social Change, Water and Environmental Studies.
Department of Gender Studies (TEMA GENUS) is a multi- and interdisciplinary unit of the Tema Institute committed to research, research training and under graduate education. TEMA GENUS engage with the changing patterns of gender in culture, society, economics, science, technology and knowledge production, in theory and practice, and from an interdisciplinary perspective. Gender is studied as intersected by other social categories (ethnicity, sexuality, age, etc). Five research streams are pursued as subprograms of TEMA GENUS. These are Gender and Culture (feminist cultural studies), Gender, Economic Change and Organization, Critical Studies of Men and Masculinities, and Posthumanities - which is closely allied to the fifth subprogram being developed, Gender and Knowledge Production with special reference to the Technical, Natural, and Medical Science Professions (feminist technoscience studies). In close collaboration with gender studies at ?rebro University, and Department of Gender and Medicine of LiU, TEMA GENUS coordinates an international research centre, Centre of Gender Excellence (GEXcel). GEXcel is financed by contributions from the Swedish Research Council. TEMA GENUS is also the host of Nordic and national Swedish research schools (like InterGender) in interdisciplinary gender studies, and works closely with the Centre for Gender Studies and Gender Equality (FORUM). TEMA GENUS is also involved in a wide range of international networks and collaborations concerning research and education. Moreinformation on TEMA GENUS is available at http://www.tema. liu.se/tema- g?l=en

BELGIUM; PhD Positions Odysseus Research Project
The University of Antwerp is a knowledge centre with 3.400 co-workers that performs ground-breaking and innovative research of international standing. The university takes special care to ensure optimum support and supervision of students, and pays constant attention to educational innovation. The university is an autonomous pluralistic institution that is committed to the enhancement of an open, democratic and multicultural society, and it pursues an equal opportunities policy.
The Department of Political Science at the Faculty of Social and Political Science invites applications for
Two PhD positions within an Odysseus research project
Background:
Interest groups are important political actors, which face a changing political environment as a result of globalisation and internationalisation. Obtaining a thorough understanding of how interest groups cope with such challenges is important in explaining their role in democratic policy making. Why, for instance, are some interest groups better capable of exerting influence in a multi-level political system than others? Or, why do some groups seek access to only national governments and others to European institutions as well? Answering these and related questions is the overarching aim of the Odysseus project.
The available PhD-positions concern two sub-fields within the larger project:# The politics of EU territorial lobbying.This project studies the European strategies of interest groups that are territorially defined (such as the port of Antwerp, Schiphol airport or Scottish interests).
# Multi-level venue shopping of interest groups.This project entails a comparative research on how interest groups make use of multiple access opportunities situated at different levels of government (national, regional, European, international). Candidates write a dissertation on one of the above mentioned topics. Candidates are also expected to be an active member of the research group on European and International Politics by contributing to its collective research and fulfilling small supportive and coordinating tasks.
Research environment:Several scholars already participate in this Odysseus-project, which is embedded in the European and International Politics Research Group. They conduct research into interest groups strategies at the WTO, population dynamics of interest groups, and strategies of interest groups to seek access to political and administrative elites. This research group is part of the Political Science Department. Apart from European and international politics, researchers at the department are involved in research into the areas of comparative politics; media, movements and politics; diplomacy and geopolitics, and public administration.
What we have to offer is, in sum:
* an interesting research area and dissertation topic for a period of two years. The appointment will be prolonged with two years after a positive evaluation;* involvement in a highly prestigious Odysseus Program of the Flanders Scientific Foundation (http://www.fwo.be/en/FWOOdysseus.aspx);* a working environment with young and entrepreneurial colleagues;* the opportunity to participate in training and educational programs within an international academic network.
Requirements:We expect that candidates:
* can independently conduct a research project, like to work within a team and are proactive in supporting the research group;* hold a master degree in Political Science, Public Administration, Economics or in another related field within the social science (candidates who graduate this year are also invited to apply);* have obtained excellent grades during their studies;* have good writing skills;* have a visible interest in qualitative and quantitative research methods;* have a special interest in theoretical issues, in particular related to political institutions and political organizations;* have a good command of English (in case of project II on multilevel venue-shopping, also a good command of French or the willingness to learn French)
________________________________________
Application deadline April 15st 2009:
* application form (see http://www.ua.ac.be/main.aspx?c=*VACATURES&n=15761&ct=011072 or call +32 3 265 31 53/54);* letter of application;* curriculum Vitae and a list of grades obtained;* two letters of recommendation;* a written essay (three pages in English) in which you critically discuss the project description which you can obtain from Caelesta Poppelaars (for contact details see below).

INFORMATION for CANDIDATES
This document is designed to give you as much information as possible about the role you have applied for.
Job description:
Funding body: SULSA (Swain) / Wellcome Trust (Tyers)Hours: Full-time (35hrs/week) Start date: ImmediateDuration: fixed term 12 months (with possibility of renewal) Supervisor: Profs. Peter Swain and Mike TyersInformal enquiries: Peter.Swain@ed.ac.uk
Background:
We study the systems biology of cellular decision-making and are interested in how genes and proteins interact to allow cells to sense, process, and respond to altering environmental conditions. In particular, we are focusing on how fluctuations in nutrient levels impact new gene expression and the cell cycle in budding yeast.
The responses of individual cells can be qualitatively different from the average response of a population. We are developing microfluidic devices both to enable tracking of the size of cells and their levels of gene expression over time and to allow rapid, but controlled, changes in extracellular conditions. At the same time, we are writing image processing and analysis software to automate data acquisition and will build our results into mathematical models.

Job description:
Funding body: SULSA (Swain) / Wellcome Trust (Tyers)Hours: Full-time (35hrs/week) Start date: ImmediateDuration: fixed term 12 months (with possibility of renewal) Supervisor: Profs. Peter Swain and Mike TyersInformal enquiries: Peter.Swain@ed.ac.uk
Background:
We study the systems biology of cellular decision-making and are interested in how genes and proteins interact to allow cells to sense, process, and respond to altering environmental conditions. In particular, we are focusing on how fluctuations in nutrient levels impact new gene expression and the cell cycle in budding yeast.
The responses of individual cells can be qualitatively different from the average response of a population. We are developing microfluidic devices both to enable tracking of the size of cells and their levels of gene expression over time and to allow rapid, but controlled, changes in extracellular conditions. At the same time, we are writing image processing and analysis software to automate data acquisition and will build our results into mathematical models. It is therefore essential that you have an interest and enthusiasm for multi-disciplinary research.
We anticipate the position having a substantial degree of independence.

School of Physics and Astronomy, SUPA
The School of Physics comprises four Institutes: one for Physics; one for Astronomy; the e-Science Institute; and EPCC (Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre). The School forms part of SUPA, the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance, and is based in the James Clerk Maxwell Building on the Kings Buildings Campus in Edinburgh. The School of Physics was ranked 6th out of 42 UK Physics Departments in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).
Soft Matter, Biological and Statistical Physics Research Group
This group occupies a premier position internationally in the fields of soft condensed matter and statistical physics, and, following recent permanent recruitments funded by SUPA, now has substantial interests also in biological physics. The group combines experimental, theoretical and computational work within its overall programme. Our interests span from relatively applied areas, such as development of novel materials for specific applications, through to fundamental work on the principles of nonequilibrium statistical physics.
The Group's full-time academic staff currently comprise: Prof Mike Cates (soft matter theory and simulation); Prof Wilson Poon (soft matter and biological physics experiment); Prof Martin Evans (fundamentals and applications of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics); Dr Cait MacPhee (biomaterials and biological physics experiment); Dr Paul Clegg (soft matter and colloidal materials experiment); Dr Davide Marenduzzo (simulations of soft and biological matter); and Dr Rosalind Allen (rare event simulations in physics and biology). In addition, Prof Graeme Ackland, a computational physicist, splits his time between Soft Matter and other research areas. Alongside these staff, the Group usually hosts about 20 additional researchers on PhD studentships, postdoctoral positions or visiting appointments. It has strong links with other researchers within the School and University.
As well as the Group's own laboratories (which include wet-lab facilities for chemistry and biology) we make continual use of COSMIC (the Collaborative Optical Spectroscopy, Micromanipulation and Imaging Centre). This is a £2.5M state-of-the art laboratory for the optical interrogation of soft and biological matter, housed within the School. The group also has longstanding collaborations on parallel computing with the staff of EPCC, and direct access to its IBM BlueGene machine and other computational resources. We also regularly access national and international facilities for supercomputing, X-ray and Neutron studies.
Job Description
We plan to fill approximately three positions in 2009, with some flexibility over start dates.
The advertised positions are full-time research posts to work with the Soft Matter, Biological and Statistical Physics Research Group. They are open to experimental, theoretical and computational scientists. Applicants who combine more than one of these skills are, of course, welcome. (Among simulators, there is some preference for those with, or wishing to acquire, skills in lattice Boltzmann methods. Applications from physicists with an interest in biological systems are particularly welcome.)
Most of these positions arise from the Group's Programme Grant, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC); other Grant applications are pending. One position may be funded by an EU ITN Network now being negotiated (this may be subject to nationality requirements). Applicants will automatically be considered for all posts for which they are eligible, unless they request otherwise.
The precise contract period may depend on the resources available. Contracts awarded under our Programme Grant will not normally extend beyond 30 September 2011.
Project Areas
As a guideline, five broad research areas in which we seek to appoint are listed below:
1. Rheophysics: We wish to understand the behaviour of colloids and other soft materials under conditions of strong flow. Often, flow can totally alter the internal structure of such materials and we want to understand this.
2. Physics of barriers in soft matter and biology: We wish to understand how soft and biological systems undergo 'rare events' taking them from one apparently stable state of organization to another. These include events that alter the way genes are expressed in a cell, and also the nucleation of one phase of matter within another.
3. New soft materials: Building on our recent discoveries, we want to use physics to create new and interesting materials with properties potentially relevant to computer displays, drug delivery, catalysis and other fields.
4. Physics of cellular motion: We want to understand how bacteria (which, if they were dead, would be effectively colloids) behave when swimming, either individually, or collectively (in a swarm). At a smaller scale, within the cell there are various soft matter components which use a constant supply of chemical energy to maintain an 'active' (i.e. living) state. We want to understand these too.
5. New statistical mechanics tools: we want to develop new and better theories and simulation models that will, over the longer term, help us connect the microscopic components in soft materials and other systems to their macroscopic properties.
Recruitment Strategy
We plan to maintain an overall balance and diversity of skills in the Group, paying due regard to the plans on which our funding was awarded and the roles of researchers already in post. The individual scientific merit of applicants will also be a strong factor in selection.
Selection Criteria and Person Specification
While direct knowledge and experience of at least some relevant methodologies is desirable for all these positions, imagination, scientific flair, and willingness to learn new techniques are equally important. In your application please not only indicate what relevant skills you have but also include a statement of your scientific ambitions.
Required:
· Training to PhD level or equivalent in research methods, practices and technology relevant to one or more of the project areas detailed above.
· Experience of conducting research at a level enabling the study of one or more such project areas without day-to-day supervision.
· Ability to contribute to the Group's research by taking the lead in some elements of its programme.
· Ability to discuss project goals with academic staff; to formulate and implement research plans for achieving these goals; and to modify these plans in the light of the results obtained.
· Ability to create scientific reports as lead drafting author, agree final text with colleagues, handle submission to journals, and deal with revisions in the same manner.
· Ability and willingness to give formal and informal scientific presentations both within the group and at conferences.
Desirable:
· Ability and willingness to assist in the day-to-day supervision of PhD and Masters student projects.
· Ability and willingness to contribute to wider group activities including: organization of seminars and/or discussion groups; managing shared laboratory equipment; assistance with computer systems management tasks; assistance with purchasing and commissioning of equipment, computer software, consumables etc..
· Experience of data analysis, computer graphics and other techniques necessary to gather and quantitatively present the findings of research.
· Experience using Unix/Linux (for theory and simulation posts) and/or interfacing Windows machines to laboratory equipment (for experimentalists).
· Experience of working in a multi-disciplinary team, or demonstrable interest in so doing.
· Ability and willingness to engage with principal and co-investigators in discussing the research strategy of the group as a whole.
Salary
Appointments will be made at UoE Grade 7, with salary on a seven-point scale from £29,704 £35,469, incremented annually.
Further Enquiries
Informal enquiries may be addressed by email to the staff member closest to your own interests.
