Description
You will be working with shells of long-lived bivalve molluscs collected from waters off the NW coast of Scotland, from the Irish Sea and from the North Sea.

You will construct chronologies using the annual increments preserved in the shells and you will then compare them with (a) instrumental measurements, (b) shell-based chronologies built by other ESRs working in the ARAMACC ITN, and (c) other natural archives for the same region in order to build up a detailed picture of the history of marine change in the NE Atlantic sector over the past few hundred years (possibly as much as a thousand years).

ESR1 will work on shells from northwest Scotland shelf and coastal waters, and ESR2 will work on Holocene shells from the North Sea and Irish Sea.

As part of the ARAMACC training programme, you will participate with other ARAMACC ESRs from across Europe in a research cruise, three summer schools and two workshops delivered by ARAMACC partners and designed to train the ESRs in a wide range of generic and specific skills. 

You will develop multidisciplinary research skills involving:
- field collection of bivalves and shells for use in chronology construction

EU: PhD, CT-based quality optimization of micro manufacturing

Deadline: 15 Feb. 2014

To apply, provide: 

1) a letter of interest;
2) your detailed curriculum vitae;
3) your diploma and transcripts;
4) references;
5) English proficiency test results (if available).
E-mail to jobs@interaqct.eu and simone.carmignato@unipd.it (supervisor).
DescriptionThe precise manufacturing of complex 3D micro parts, e.g in the injection moulding process, places high demands on process control. Strategies are necessary that allow a control of the process based on process variables, such as melt pressure, that are measured inside the mould cavity, where the process takes place. However, even the smallest state-of-the-art pressure transducers are not miniaturized enough to be installed in micro moulds. Therefore, ESR 11 will develop an integral quality control loop by using CT to indirectly assess optimal process variables. For example, CT can be used to control: (1) peak cavity pressure, to avoid incomplete filling or flash; (2) differential shrinkage, to avoid part warpage after ejection; (3) differential pressure values among cavities in multi-cavity moulds, to correct flow imbalances and to achieve uniform part properties. In addition, ESR 11 will develop an interactive relational database to correlate CT measurements of moulding defects to effective actions that the operator should perform in order to improve the moulding quality. ESR will apply similar approaches also for quality control of other micro manufacturing technologies. ESR 11 will benefit from the cooperation with ESR 10 for the calibration of the micro-measurements.

The Salary is 40500 Euro/year (gross salary) and, in addition, 700 to 1000 Euro/month (mobility allowance)

UK:10 PhD Studentships/Marie Curie ESR Fellowships - Self-Assembly of Polymeric Soft Systems

Deadline: 15 August 2013

University of Cambridge

Reference: MA01402

Ten Early Stage Researcher (ESR) positions are offered in the FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) SASSYPOL. This research-training network involves institutions across Europe (10 from the academic sector and 2 from the private sector) which will train a new generation of highly skilled chemists in the production of novel functional soft systems and materials, and push this emerging field of research into applications at the cutting-edge of nanotechnology. The expertise of all partners encompasses supramolecular chemistry and dynamic self-assembly, but individual research competences are quite diverse focusing on molecularly defined nanostructures, liquid crystalline materials, hydrogen-bonded supramolecules, molecular systems based on host-guest interactions, and advanced modelling and characterisation techniques of polymeric and self-assembled materials.

Supramolecular chemistry provides a powerful approach to develop new self-assembled materials with properties, such as healability, recyclability and facile processability, which will have applications in biomedicine, energy, composite materials and sensing. The ITN unites leading experts from academic and industry in the areas of supramolecular and polymer chemistry. Partners from the private sector will extend training beyond that of a traditional academic setting, by bridging fundamental science with application and commercialisation. The ITN will thus embrace both breadth and quality that can be achieved only through an interdisciplinary pan-European effort.

The training programme aims to improve theoretical, practical and complementary skills of the recruited ESRs: it includes state-of-the-art local training activities, network-wide courses and workshops, and secondments in partner laboratories.

ESR Fellowships are available in the following research groups. These positions are open to suitable qualified researchers in the first four years of their research career. Please refer to the Marie Curie website for eligibility details (http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/mariecurieactions/glossary_en.html). ESR Fellowships are offered in conjunction with a PhD position at the host institution, subject to the ESR Fellow satisfying the admissions requirements of the host institution. Additional funding may be available in countries where PhD training lasts longer than three years.

Applications should include a CV and contact details for at least two professional referees, and should be sent to Glenda Harden (mel-sec@ch.cam.ac.uk) and to the supervisor leading the project of choice at the specified institution. Please include a cover letter outlining your specific qualifications, indicating your preferred host group and willingness to be considered for other posts in the network.
