Scholarship Description: Coherently prepared media – novel properties and applications” is a research project dedicated to studies of a new type of materials, the so-called coherently prepared media (CPM), which possess extraordinary physical properties. The project concentrates on the analysis of optical properties of CPM, which originate from microscopic properties (quantum superpositions of energy levels) of atoms or molecules constituting the media: ultra-cold gases (Bose-Einstein condensates), room temperature gases, diamonds with NV-color centers, photonic-crystal fibers. The quantum state of the particles will be tailored by mean of electromagnetic fields. The research merges such fields as atomic physics, atomic optics, solid-state physics, photonics, and quantum information theory. It stands at the frontiers of fundamental science, as well as modern hi-tech applications. •possibility of completing PhD thesis in physics, •access to modern experimental apparatus, •work in a dynamic team, active involvement in edge-cutting research, •development of leadership experience, •involvement in international collaboration, •stipend (3 500 PLN per month) for 2-4 years.

Study Subject(s):Functional Programming
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: Chalmers University
Scholarship can be taken at: Sweden

Eligibility:-We are looking for a creative person with an excellent Bachelors or Masters degree, and a keen interest in functional programming.
-You should have carried out significant projects in a functional language, perhaps as a Bachelors or Masters thesis.
-We would like to see some concrete evidence of your activities in functional programming.
-For that, you could send us a published paper of your work, which constitutes a considerable merit, an extended abstract, a technical report, or a copy of your bachelors or masters thesis.

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: Functional programming is enjoying an unprecedented surge of interest, with languages such as Erlang, Scala and Haskell seeing high-profile applications in companies large and small. A major reason is the much improved productivity that software developers can enjoy, by adopting functional programming. With intense competition from emerging economies, productivity improvements are vital if the West is to retain its software industry. We have secured a large, five-year strategic research grant to bring these benefits to two new areas: signal processing and low-level control in the system layer of products such as radio base stations for mobile broadband, and real-time automotive software built around the AUTOSAR standard. Our approach is to combine domain-specific languages embedded in Haskell or Erlang with rapid verification based on property-based testing (QuickCheck) and automated proof tools. Our work is carried out in close cooperation with industry, and has the potential to make a real impact in key industrial sectors.

How to Apply: Online or by Post

2011- Postdoctoral Positions in Computer Science, KTH- Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden

Study Subject: Computer Science
Employer: KTH- Royal Institute of Technology
Level:Postdoctoral
Scholarship Description:CSC is one of Sweden’s most advanced and successful research and education institutions in Information Technology situated at KTH and Stockholm University. The activities of the school focus on higher education and research within the traditional core areas of numerical analysis and computer science; from theory building and analysis of mathematical models to algorithm construction, implementation and simulation. Other core areas of growing importance are technology and methods for the support of human communication and computer mediated cooperation over distances in time and space. The applied research includes scientific computing, computer science, computer vision, robotics, neuroinformatics and neural networks, human-computer interaction, media technology and graphic arts, and communication through speech, language and music.

The successful candidate will join a team of researchers developing the PDC Parallel Environment, a programming and runtime environment for highly parallel applications that features adaptive runtime scheduling, online performance monitoring, and an expert system to analyze performance data. Within this framework several projects can be defined based on the background and interest of the candidate. Examples include programming models and languages for exascale, compiler extensions, operating systems, expert systems, programming of GPUs etc. The successful candidate is also expected to take leading positions in international projects (e.g. WP leadership in potential EC projects) and actively seek national and international project funding.
