----------------------------------- 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.

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.
