[Ireland] Postgraduate Opportunities in Food Structure & Health - National University of Ireland
Opportunities exist for motivated graduates to develop their research skills further in a variety of innovative food research projects based at the Moorepark Food Research Centre, Fermoy, Co. Cork, Ireland. The laboratories are well equipped and the prospective students will have access to state-of-the-art research equipment and experienced supervisors. There are currently four studentships available in the area of food structure and health and cheese science as described below:Characterisation of polysaccharides as fat mimetics in mixed biopolymer systems using dynamic microstructure analysis.Polysaccharides are widely used in the food industry as thickening agents and for their fat mimetic properties, whilst milk proteins are particularly useful as structuring agents in many foods.By exploiting segregative phase separation phenomena it is possible to control the microstructure and phase distribution of mixed biopolymer systems containing both proteins and polysaccharides and therefore to design food structures with desired functional properties. Most phase separation studies have focused on equilibrium behaviour and used small deformation rheological methods to study properties; very few studies have linked large deformation and failure response to microstructural features.Confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) is a powerful technique for studying the distribution of food ingredients and also the formation of protein networks. Recent developments in micro-tensile and shearing optical stages have facilitated the direct observation of protein-polysaccharide composites during mechanical deformation. This successful candidate will develop and apply dynamic microstructure characterisation techniques to mixed biopolymer systems containing milk proteins and polysaccharides. Rheological and microstructural data obtained will be correlated with data obtained from equivalent biopolymer systems containing fat.Academic Supervisor: Prof. Daniel M. Mulvihill, University College, Cork.Teagasc Supervisor: Dr. Mark Auty, Moorepark Food Research Centre.Requirements:Applicants should have a good primary degree (1 or 2.1) in Food Science, Biochemistry, Biological or Physical Science.Funding: The positions are funded by a Teagasc Walsh Fellowship of €17,000 p.a. covering postgraduate stipend and tuition fees.Location: Sucessful applicants for all positions will be based at Moorepark Food research Centre, Fermoy, Co.

[Germany] Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology PhD Grants
The Research Group focuses on law, authority and social behaviour in plural legal settings under conditions of increasing globalisation.The project deals with local adoptions of international right discourses. It will study the global circulation of legal knowledge and norms of governance by looking how law is used by individuals and groups in conflicts with states. The projects wants to identify the social and political conditions that make people chose recourse to law in their conflicts with the state and how legal recourse relates to other modes of articulating demands. Moreover, it wants to assess the effect of recourse to law in terms of changes in norms and expectations and in modes of the social organisation of demands. Thereby it attempts to trace the changes in what is expected of state rule, the shifting norms of rights and justice, and the changes in practices of claiming rights caused by the interplay of local efforts and international pressures in the institutionalization of norms of governance.The focus is on states with majority Muslim populations, e.g. Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Indonesia, but also others depending on the applicant`s preferences. Please consult the websitehttp://www.eth.mpg.de for more information on the project.The PhD Grants are generally awarded for 2 years, with the possibility of two six-month extensions. We expect our PhD students to complete a year-long period of fieldwork as part of their studies. The Max Planck Society is committed to raising the proportion of women in under-represented fields; we thus explicitly encourage applications by women. Individuals with disabilities will be given priority, assum-ing equal qualifications.Applications should include the standard documentation and a project resume.
1. Standard documentation includes:
2. a cover letter
3. a CV including a list of publications
4. a project resume (two to five pages; two alternative ideas may also be considered)
5. photocopies of university degrees

[Ireland] University College Dublin Ph.D. Studentship in Vehicle Emissions & Urban Air Quality
This project forms part of a multi-disciplinary Urban Environment Project funded by the Irish Environmental Protection Agency: “Decision-Support Tools for Managing Urban Environment in Ireland”. The goal of the overall project is to develop decision-support tools that will help to quantify the economic and environmental dimensions of change in urban areas in an integrated fashion.Environmental concerns associated with air quality, urban diversity and green spaces, climate change in an urban context, urban sprawl and urban transport will be considered in an integrated way through use of the MOLAND model for land use planning.Candidates for this Scholarship should have a good honours degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.A strong grasp of fluid dynamics would be very desirable, as would an understanding of vehicle design and operating characteristics - insofar as these affect the production of exhaust emissions. The successful candidate will be a highly-motivated, research-focused, team player, capable of seamless integration into a high-level research programme, and of delivering high-quality research within the strict time constraints of this project.This PhD scholarship is concerned with the Urban Air Quality sub-project and will focus on:
Establishing methodologies for estimating detailed, site-specific, emissions factors for road-transport-derived exhaust emissions (of Particulate Matter, NOx, CO, CO2 and unburned hydrocarbons) These factors will take account of engine and vehicle operating profiles which link to actual traffic flow patterns on the routes of interest. Real-world data will be derived from traffic management systems and from representative vehicles fitted with low-cost GPS instrumentation, combined with data available from on-board diagnostic systems.
Utilisation of Computational Fluid Dynamics -based models for atmospheric dispersion of these emissions, based on 3-dimensional representations of urban landscape where real data has been obtained using Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) techniques.
Estimating the indoor air pollution associated with different outdoor air quality characteristics, to facilitate modelling of the indoor-outdoor relationship, and subsequent integration into the MOLAND model.
The Ph.D. student will join a multi-disciplinary team based at the UCD Urban Institute Ireland, in University College Dublin.The total funding available for this PhD scholarship is €25,000 per year, for 3 years. This covers a stipend, University Fees and an allowance for travel in connection with the project and for dissemination of results at conferences. The actual financial breakdown will vary depending on individual student circumstances. Note that University PhD registration fees differentiate between EU nationals and those with non-EU status.Contact details for Further Information:Dr. William J. Smith or Dr. David J.
