PhD Student position,Leipzig,Germany

The Department of Computational Landscape Ecology (www.ufz.de/cle) invites applicants for a PhD Student position (m/f)- Code digit 124/2012 – to commence as early as possible.

PhD thesis:
"Understanding patterns of population dynamics and residential mobility in different European cities using agent-based models"
The position is part of the project “Energieeffiziente Stadt Delitzsch” (http://unileipzig.de/~effstadt/cms/).

The PhD candidate is expected to acquire and analyse data of spatial patterns of population dynamics and urban form in different European cities and develop conceptual agent-based models on residential mobility. These models help to explain observed patterns in different types of cities (like shrinking and expanding cities but also segregation patterns). The modelling approach encompasses a conceptual description, calibration and validation of the model(s). Furthermore, the PhD student should assist in building an empirical model for the
city of Delitzsch.

Requirements:
Applicants should have a background in scientific fields such as social geography, system science, (geo)-ecology, landscape ecology, environmental / social modelling or environmental sciences. Analytical thinking and a strong interest in modelling are required. Software skills in at least one programming language (preferably Java) and GIS as well as solid background in statistics (possibly advanced statistics and pattern analysis in R) are an advantage. Ability for working in an international interdisciplinary team is obligatory. The willingness to learn basic German is required, as basic language skills are necessary for the project.

Further information will be provided by:
Dr. Nina Schwarz (nina.schwarz@ufz.de, +49 341 235 1970)

Effects of groundwater seepage on benthic primary producers
and their nutrient retention in lakes.

Field and laboratory investigations will be carried out to test the
hypotheses that groundwater seepage is a determining factor for the
development of submerged macrophytes, benthic algae and their
interaction in oligotrophic lakes and that these interactions
affect the nutrient availability for phytoplankton growth and thus
water transparency. The successful candidate must have a strong
commitment to aquatic fieldwork.

Applicants should electronically submit a CV, cover letter indicating
research interests and experience, a letter of motivation, names and
contact details of two referees, and a PDF copy of the

2 PhD positions available in Heidelberg,Germany

(Duration 36 months)

“A novel imaging technique for ion beam therapy: Ion Computed Tomography”
is a joint project between the Heidelberg University Hospital/Heidelberg Ion Beam Therapy Center (Prof. Dr. Oliver Jäkel), the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich (Prof. Dr. Katia Parodi), and the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung Darmstadt (Dr. Bernd Voss) granted by the German Research Foundation (DFG) starting on November the 1st, 2012.

Project and position descriptions
The goal of the project is to develop a method for time-resolved imaging of transmitted energetic ion beams in view of several possible future clinical applications at the Heidelberg Ion beam Therapy center (HIT). These include pre-treatment verification of residual ion beam range for tumors in stationary and moving anatomical locations. In the latter case, additional intra-treatment operation is envisioned to provide valuable information on the magnitude of range uncertainties in the motion cycle close in time to the therapeutic irradiation. Finally, pre-treatment tomographic recovery of the stopping power maps of the traversed tissue will be pursued as a means to evaluate range uncertainties in conventional treatment planning based on X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) imaging. The possibility to replace the X-ray CT patient model and thus to eliminate the current major source of range uncertainty in ion beam treatment planning will also be investigated.
This work will realize and experimentally validate a new generation, compact and fully integrated range telescope system based on a stack of ionization chambers (IC) for pencil-beam range probing (1D) as well as planar (2D) and volumetric (3D) imaging. It will include time-resolved (4D) operation for synchronization not only with the dynamic beam delivery but also with the movement of the target itself as monitored by external motion sensors.
The planned experimental investigations will enable evaluation of the clinical potential of the method in comparison to the nowadays used imaging techniques such as post-radiation PET (Positron Emission Tomography) /CT imaging with respect to the ultimate goal of promoting high precision ion beam therapy.

The project will be carried out by a post doc and two PhD students. The first PhD student together with the post doc will be located at HIT/LMU (Ludwig Maximilians University Munich) and will mainly work on integration of the hardware being developed at GSI into the HIT environment, on the performance and interpretation of the experimental investigations with feedback to the hardware development at GSI, and on the image reconstruction part. A PhD at the faculty for physics in Heidelberg or Munich is aimed for. The second PhD student will be located at GSI and will mainly work on the development and fine tuning of the whole detector system, but will also frequently be at HIT to support the integration of the system and the experimental investigations. A PhD at the faculty for physics in Darmstadt is aimed for. The post doc will supervise both thesis and coordinate the project.

PhD profiles and requirements:

General requirements:
•       good understanding of electromagnetic and nuclear physical processes which are relevant to ion transport and interaction in matter
•       prior experience in ion beam therapy and imaging techniques is favourable
•       experience in software programming, preferably C/C++, C sharp, Java, and Python, and Linux and Windows operating system
•       additional experience in experimental activities and data analysis is favourable
•       technical proficiency, scientific creativity, fast adaptation to new problems and fruitful collaboration with international and multidisciplinary working team
•       fluent in English (spoken and written)

Specific requirements:

1st PhD Position:
-graduated physicist, a graduated engineer may also qualify, depending on the specialization and experience
- good knowledge and experience in electronics and signal processing
- good knowledge and experience in building software interfaces

2nd PhD Position:
