The work program of the successful candidate will include: * Software development for image sequence acquisition and storage in a portable system. * Create an environment for human motion analysis, including o 3D motion analysis and 3D tracking o Models for human pose and motion o Activity monitoring Requirements * PhD degree on Electrical and Computer Engineering, Informatics, Computer Science or similar fields. * Advanced ex

PhD Research Studentship Interacting Turbulent Flames Using DNS And Laser Diagnostics Department of Engineering A Research Studentship position is available on an EPSRC funded research project in the study of interacting turbulent flames using DNS and laser diagnostics. This project involves collaboration with Rolls-Royce Plc. and Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd. in the UK. The main aim of the project is to develop close understanding of interacting turbulent premixed flames using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) methodology and laser diagnostics. The interacting flames are one of the fundamental root cause for “noisy” combustion, but this is still a terra incognita for modelling. The research student will be involved in the experimental part of the project but there will be constant interaction between the experimental and computational parts. The Ph.D student will work closely with one of investigators and will be using state of the art multi-scalar imaging and particle image

What is Special Scholarship Program (SSP)? Special Scholarship Program (SSP) was established in 2003 in order to support the advanced research of the university by enlisting the help of highly capable international students. Every year in April and October, the university enrolls selected foreign doctoral students under specific research projects. The students pursue the doctoral course in English while at the same time assisting their host professor as a research assistant (RA). Through this program KUT wishes to expand and deepen international ties with academic and educational institutions all over the world. Application Guideline for Special Scholarship Program (SSP) 1. PROGRAM OF STUDY Course for International Students Doctoral Program (3 years) Department of Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering 2. NUMBER OF STUDENTS TO BE ADMITTED 20 students per year 3.

A PhD research fellowship is offered in the field of underwater acoustic communication and underwater sensor network at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications ( http://www.iet.ntnu.no ), Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Recent developments in information and communication technology have opened new possibilities for observation and monitoring of the marine environment. New concepts, based on autonomous sensors working together in wireless communication networks are becoming feasible for monitoring of oceanographic and environmental parameters and for estimation of fish and plankton abundance. The goal of this PhD project is to participate in the development of new marine observation methodology based on autonomous sensors and underwater communication networks. The fields of underwater acoustics, signal processing and electronics are particular relevant fields in this context.

Doctoral positions starting October 2008. The Ruhr Graduate School in Economics (RGS Econ) is a three-year PhD program initiated and founded by three universities of Germany’s Ruhr Area - the University of Bochum, the University of Dortmund and the University of Duisburg-Essen - as well as by RWI Essen, one of Germany’s leading economic research institutes. The research environment at the RWI Essen allows the students to participate actively in policy consulting and to establish contact with policy decision makers. About the Program: The program provides postgraduate education in all relevant fields of modern economics, covering formal theoretical and empirical econometric analyses in labor and population economics, industrial economics, microeconomics, macro-economics, and public economics. SCHOLARSHIPS: The RGS Econ offers a number of PhD Scholarships (1250 Euro per month, approx. 1.850 USD) available for students who will commence their studies in 2008. The maximum duration of a sch
