PhD positions, ecological modelling, Goettingen, German
Integrated modelling of land-use changes at rainforest margins in Indonesia"

Starting date
As soon as possible.

Rationale
The project will investigate the ecological and socio-economic trade-offs at the rainforest margin under land-use change. Previous insights (e.g., Steffan-Dewenter et al. 2007 ) will be extended using dynamic modelling techniques. Based on a large and long-term data set, ecological and socio-economic model components will be developed from scratch that simulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use (rainforest, agriculture) and individual households. Combined model analyses will investigate trade-offs in biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and household income.

One position will focus on the development and analysis of ecological models (grid-based and agent based models) while the other will focus on economic modelling (microeconometric models, calibrated agricultural household models). Either position can be filled by a postdoc or a PhD, depending on experience and integrative abilities. The postdoc will be responsible for the integration of ecological and economic model components.

Requirements
Successful applicants hold a master degree in Ecological Sciences, Plant Sciences, Economic Sciences, Applied Mathematics or a related field, with sound experience in simulation modelling and with the work in interdisciplinary teams. The project will be based in Göttingen, Germany, but will involve travelling to Indonesia.

Salary and conditions
The positions will be awarded for at least 18 months, with a possible extension of up to three years. The salary is in accordance with the German state regulated public service salary scale (PhD: 65 % E 13 TV-L, Postdoc: 100% E 13 TV-L). The University of Göttingen actively seeks to foster career opportunities for female scholars and therefore strongly encourages qualified women to apply. Candidates with disabilities who are equally qualified for the position will receive special consideration.

Applications
Applicants should send an application letter, their CV, and the names (with email address) of two referees before September 19, 2010 in a single pdf-file to kwiegan1*uni-goettingen.de. The CV should contain a list of publications and information on the level of experience in the following areas:
-- ecological modelling / developing, programming, and analyzing simulation models
-- advanced statistics and mathematics
-- tropical ecology
-- biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
-- poverty and distributional analyses, microeconometrics
-- modelling agricultural households

PhD Studentship in Engineering - University of Cambridge
PhD Studentship
Modelling of ThermoAcoustic Instabilities
University of Cambridge - Department of Engineering

Limit of tenure: 3 years

Lean premixed combustion are identified to be a potential candidate for environmentally friendly gas turbines. Because of the inherent instability issues in lean combustion, the use of partial premixing strategies is inevitable and is commonly used in industrial gas turbines to have smooth operating characteristics. The occurrence of combustion oscillations leading to thermoacoustic instabilities is also inevitable in large industrial gas turbine and these instabilities come into light at an advanced stage of new engine development programmes. Hence altering combustor design will be very expensive and these instabilities are usually controlled using sophisticated open or closed loop control strategies built based on experience. Thus, there is an attractive incentive to develop reliable methodologies and tools to predict combustion instabilities since there is a substantial economic gain in using reliable predictive tools in new engine development. This project is a first step towards this goal.

The main aim of the project is to simulate the thermoacoustic instabilities of lean premixed and partially premixed flames using the latest combustion models developed in the past few years at Cambridge University Engineering Department for turbulent premixed and partially premixed combustion. It is expected that one of the commercial CFD tools along with the CUED combustion submodels will be used to simulate turbulent combustion. These CFD results are to be analysed to obtain flame transfer functions which will be used in subsequent thermoacoustic simulations using loworder modelling methods. There is also a scope for developing a new modelling approach. These predictions are to be compared with published results on thermoacoustics and this project involves collaboration with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Japan.

The successful candidate will have a first class, at least 2:1 or equivalent, postgraduate degree in Mechanical/Aerospace/engineering or any other relevant fields. A strong background in fluid dynamics, combustion, numerical methods and good analytical skills are desirable. Application from overseas student is welcome. Funding, covering all expenses, is available for three year doctoral study in thermoacoustic instability modelling and computations at Cambridge University Engineering Department. This studentship will commence from October 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter, but it should be before January 2011

Further details on this project may be obtained from Dr N. Swaminathan (ns341@cam.ac.uk). An application form for PhD study at Cambridge University can be obtained from the Board of Graduate Studies. On line applications must be submitted but 16 July 2010. Paper applications must be submitted by 31 July 2010. More information on the graduate studies at CUED is available here http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/graduate/postgrad/ . If you submit your application online via BoGS website, send a copy in pdf format to Dr N. Swaminathan (ns341@cam.ac.uk) before 31stst July 2010
