----------------------------------- ovidiuv 28 Apr 2017 16:00 Burse de doctorat in Aglia in Intensive Data Science ----------------------------------- Salut, Doua anunturi cu burse de doctorat in Anglia, pe Data Intensive Science si Astrofizica. Ii incurajez pe absolventii IT, informatica sau matematica, in special pe astronomii amatori, sa le luati in calcul. Subject: PhD opportunities at the ICC Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2017 19:19:21 +0100 (BST) From: Carlos Frenk Durham University has just been awarded 11 PhD studentships to set up a new Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Data Intensive Science. These 4-year studentships are funded by STFC, the UK's research council for Astronomy and Particle Physics. Up to half of these studentships are available for non-UK candidates from the EU. The studentships will fully fund the PhD, providing a stipend for living expenses (£14553 for 2017/18, with no tax deductions to pay) and covering fees. The CDT comprises the Institute for Computational Cosmology, the Institute for Particle Physics Phenomenology, Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy and the Centre for Advanced Instrumentation and will be supported by 6 industrial partners (including IBM and other large firms). The studentships are for four years and include a six month secondment at one of the industrial partners. Over the first six months of the course, the CDT students will follow a combination of subject specific training and advanced training in computational methods, along with training in complementary skills. The research projects for CDT students recruited to the ICC will be drawn from our research programme which spans the running and analysis of large supercompute simulations of the formation of cosmic structures and the preparation for and analysis of large galaxy surveys, such as DESI and Euclid. After successful completion of the PhD programme, students will be equally well qualified to pursue a scientific career in academia or in industry. The studentships will start in October 2017. Applications are invited following the instructions on: https://www.dur.ac.uk/physic/postgraduate/prospectivestudents/howtoapply/ There is no deadline, but candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Further information be obtained from Carlton Baugh (c.m.baugh@durham.ac.uk) or Peder Norberg (peder.norberg@durham.ac.uk). ---------- Subject: Re: PhD places in Data Intensive Science. Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2017 10:18:46 +0000 From: Peter Thomas

Please excuse this mass mailing. If you know of any computationally-minded students who have not yet got a PhD place for next year, then we are recruiting to a new initiative in Data Intensive Science. Please pass on this message. The Sussex Astronomy Centre is delighted to announce the availability of two new PhD studentships in the area of data-intensive science. These are to begin in September 2017 and are fully funded for 4 years. One of the studentships is open to students of any nationality, the other is reserved for UK applicants. This programme offers a unique opportunity to develop advanced knowledge of data-intensive methods in astronomy as well as industrial applications. The programme combines specialist training in data-intensive science, transferable skills development and a 6-month industrial placement. For a list of possible projects, and for instructions on how to apply, please see our studentships web page http://www.sussex.ac.uk/astronomy/vacancies/studentships The closing date for applications is 31 May 2017, but applications will be considered as they are received, so you are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. ----------------------------------- ovidiuv 03 Mai 2017 15:54 ----------------------------------- Si alte pozitii de doctorat similare in Anglia... ---- Buenas tardes, There are a number of universities in the UK advertising multiple PhD positions in astronomy funded under a research council (STFC) initiative to stimulate data-intensive science. Below is the ad from Liverpool John Moores University, which just appeared in the AAS Job Register (https://jobregister.aas.org/job_view?JobID=60196) but I think also Cardiff, Sussex, Durham, Edinburgh, UCL, etc. have places on offer, with full scholarship funding also for non-UK residents/nationals. Best regards Johan --- Job Announcement Text: The Astrophysics Research Institute (ARI) of Liverpool John Moores University is offering up to 6 fully funded four-year PhD scholarships in Data Intensive Science. This is part of a new initiative to establish a Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT), hosted jointly by the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University. Students will be based within the ARI and will work on astrophysics projects related to the analysis and manipulation of Big Data. Examples of projects include, but are not restricted to: simulations of low surface brightness galaxy emission recovery from LSST; transient classification in the LSST data deluge; self consistent annihilation simulations of dark matter; using cosmological simulations to develop large-scale structure emulators to constrain dark sector physics; viewing cosmological simulations with virtual telescopes; observable properties of core-collapse supernovae. In addition to training in skills and knowledge relevant to their project and general astrophysics, CDT students will benefit from bespoke training in various aspects of data intensive science in their first year, attending postgraduate lectures at both universities. Each student will also spend at least six months outside the centre in a placement with one or more partners from industry or research organisations (excluding universities) engaged in the development and use of data intensive science techniques in a different area to their research project. CDT students will join our current cohort of 32 PhD students at the ARI. These are engaged in fundamental astrophysics research over our full scientifc areas of interest: galaxy formation and evolution; star formation and stellar evolution; time-domain astrophysics; and astronomical instrumentation. The Institute consists of 22 full time academics plus research fellows, PDRAs, technical and admin staff. The ARI owns and operates the robotic 2m Liverpool Telescope as a national facility and is developing a 4m robotic telescope with first light planned for 2022. ARI also hosts the EAGLE and BAHAMAS cosmological simulations. Liverpool is located in the north west of England and is a city with a rich sense of culture based on its maritime history. It has a thriving music and arts scene and a sharp sense of humour, making it excellent for student living. Liverpool boasts more museums, theatres and art galleries than any other city in the UK outside London. In 2018 Liverpool will be hosting the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science on the Liverpool Waterfront, an iconic UNESCO World Heritage Site on the river Mersey. The ARI and University of Liverpool are located in the knowledge quarter of the city within easy walking distance of each other. Requirements: the applicants need to have gained a first class or upper second honours degree (or equivalent) or a master's degree in an appropriate subject e.g. astronomy, physics or mathematics. A good command of English to at least IELTS level 6.5 is also required for international applicants. Students will be expected to start on 1st October 2017.
