PhD Studentship in Computer Science at The University of Luxembourg (Luxembourg)

The University of Luxembourg is looking within its Computer Science and Communications Research Unit for a:

PhD STUDENT in Computer Science (M/F) Ref : R1F107K30
4-year job (consisting of two 2-year contracts) 40 hours/week

On the topic of reasoning and formal argumentation in the field of trust management




Reasoning about trust is a process that often involves the application of rules of thumb, general guidelines or argument and counterargument. During recent years, the field of formal argumentation has produced a range of formalisms, as well as software implementations, to deal with issues such as nonmonotonic reasoning, decision making and agent communication. In this context, the University of Luxembourg is currently setting up a research project (Advanced Argumentation Techniques for Trust Management, AASTM) to apply the approach of formal argumentation to the issue of trust management.

The work consists of two parts:
  • The formation of a formal theory on argumentation for trust management

  • An implementation of this formal theory as set of software components

Requirements:
  • M. Sc in Computer Science, artificial intelligence or mathematics (no older than 5 years)

  • Strong programming skills

  • Although a background on formal argumentation is not necessary, candidates should preferably be familiar with various forms of formal logic and theoretical computer science.

The position is associated with an annual salary between 23400 and 25450 euro after tax, depending on the profile of the candidate.

Applications mentioning the reference number are to be sent no later than September, 30th 2007 and should include a letter of motivation, a complete CV and a copy of the M. Sc. Diploma including a transcript of courses taken (with grades) and the names and contact details of two referees. These are to be submitted by e-mail to Prof. Dr. Leon Van der Torre (leon.vandertorre@uni.lu) and Dr.Martin Caminada (martin.caminada@uni.lu)

Any enquiry concerning this position can be sent to Martin Caminada.

The University of Luxembourg is an equal opportunity employer.
Deadline: September, 30th 2007

Southeast Asia Research Fellowship Programme for Young Muslim Scholars 2007

The
Asian Muslim Action Network (AMAN) is pleased to announce the sixth
round of the research fellowship program, Islam in Southeast Asia: View
from within.

The fellowship grants will be awarded for
innovative research on issues concerning economic, socio-political and
cultural changes taking place in the diverse Muslim communities of
Southeast Asia, especially as they relate to modernization and
globalization.

Themes:
Popular Islam
Globalization and Identity Politics
Islam and Changing Gender Realities
Islam Values, Economic Activities and Social Responsibilities

Popular Islam
"Popular
Islam" focuses on encouraging researchers to examine ways in which
Islamic beliefs and practices reach all believers and are reflected
through various means of religious. communication such as studying
Khutbah in local mosques, reading Islamic booklets, and/ or listening
to Muslim radio programs. The question of how Islam can shape and
influence, while at the same time is being shaped by, the lives of
ordinary Southeast Asian Muslims in various local contexts is just one
aspect of this topic that could be analyzed.


Globalization and Identity Politics
Muslim
communities in Southeast Asia are not immune from globalization
processes. New forms of economic and political integration on a world
scale and the accelerated flows of goods, people and information across
the globe all create new opportunities and challenges for Muslims in
the region. The interaction of global and regional forces with local
processes has been perceived both as a threat to Muslim identities and
as beneficial to the development of a new transnational Islam. This
research theme seeks to explore how Muslim identities in Southeast Asia
are formed and shaped by regional and globalizing forces.

Islam and Changing Gender Realities
Rapidly
evolving social, cultural and economic processes are leading to
unprecedented changes in the societal roles of men and women. Muslim
communities in Southeast Asia are being confronted with a diversity of
values and lifestyles expressing multiple definitions of gender roles
and relationships not always in line with dominant values. This
research area encourages researchers to examine how gender roles in
both the public and private sphere are changing for Muslims in
Southeast Asia and relate those changes to current theological and
political debates.

Islam Values, Economic Activities and Social Responsibilities
Studies
in this area should examine how Islamic values and institutions can
provide alternative economic options to those perceived as
condradictory to Qur`anic principles such as riba. Area of focus could
include identifying how Islamic economic values work in a modern
business environment, analysis of indigenous entrepreneurial models
that have been or can be utilized for local level empowerment and/ or
studies of the lives of entrepreneurs and the ways Islamic values shape
and are re-shaped by their economic activities and social
responsibilities.

Eligibility
Candidates must be
nationals of Southeast Asian countries, hold at least a Bachelor degree
and should not be over 40 years of age.
Candidates may work in
different sectors including academia, media, and non-governmental
organizations. Candidate must be highly motivated to deepen their
understanding of Islam in the region.
Women are strongly encouraged to apply.

Fellowship Value
The
fellowship consists of an average research grant of $5,000 to cover all
research costs for a maximum period of six months in the original
country of resercher, and funded participation in mentoring workshops.
The Secretariat will arrange for editing, publication and distribution of the report in a "work in progress" series.

Application Procedure
To
apply for this fellowship program, candidates need to submit a complete
research proposal. Proposed research projects should include sufficient
details so that it can be judged for its merit and feasibility.
The candidates can download the application form from our website as a MS Word document. Applications by e-mail are also accepted.

The closing date for application submission is 30 November 2007.

PhD Positions in Numerical Simulations in Technical Sciences at Graz University of Technology (Austria)

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in cell biology at the University of Waterloo. The candidate will participate in a project to obtain a mechanistic understanding of programmed cell death (apoptosis) /and anticancer agents at the MOLECULAR level using biochemical methods combined with our state-of-the-art ultrafast (femtosecond) laser spectroscopic techniques.The latter is the most powerful method for real-time observations of biochemical reactions.Thus, we have unique techniques to discover the molecular pathways regulating DNA damage and cell death.The candidate must have a PhD in one or more of the fields of cell biology, medical biochemistry and medical biophysics, and is familiar with cell biology and molecular biology techniques. Experience with quantitative DNA damage and cell death assays (in vitro, cell-culture level, in vivo measurements) will be an asset. The candidate must have an excellent track record of original research, and the ability to work in a team environment.


The position is available immediately. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. The position is initially for one year, with a possibility of renewal for a longer-term appointment.

Application
Interested candidates should submit a letter of application and an updated resume with names and email addresses of three references to:
Prof. Qing-Bin Lu,
