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 <c>

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 (&#163;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).

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.
