European Institutes for Advanced Study (EURIAS) Call for 2010/2012

Highlights:

1.      33 fellowship offer by the European Institutes for Advanced Study (EURIAS) for academic year 2011/2012.

2.      Fellowship Programme is an international researcher mobility programme offering 10-month residencies in one of the 14 participating Institutes: Berlin, Bologna, Brussels, Bucharest, Budapest, Cambridge, Helsinki, Jerusalem, Lyons, Nantes, Paris, Uppsala, Vienna, Wassenaar.

3.      The Programme builds on the strong reputation of the Institutes for Advanced Study for promoting the concentrated, self-directed work of excellent researchers within the stimulating environment of a multidisciplinary and international group of fellows.

4.      EURIAS Fellowships are mainly offered in the fields of the humanities and social sciences but may also be granted to scholars in natural and exact sciences, if their proposed research project does not require laboratory facilities. The diversity of the 14 participating IAS —which have agreed on a common selection procedure— offers a wide range of possible research contexts in Europe for worldwide scholars. Applicants select up to three IAS outside their country of nationality or residence as possible host institutions.

Doctoral position in theoretical chemistry: Sweden

Highlights:

1. The main subject of this PhD project is multi-configurational electron structure theory and methods.
2. The application of multi-configurational methods to the study of enzymatic catalysis, photo chemical processes, luminescence and hydrogen gas storage is a part of the project.
3. The application part of the project and their interpretation is of equal importance as compared to the method developments.
4. A successful candidate should have a master of science in chemistry or physics. Limitations in the candidates CV with respect to chemistry, physics or mathematics will be compensated for through the individual study plan established after being accepted to the project. Knowledge in developments of algorithms, numerical methods and program development are key merits. In case two candidates are judged to be equal the quality of the master thesis will be of significance. The candidate should have good communication skills, excellent grades and developed abilities in written and spoken English.
