[交流] Wageningen University two Phd positions available

http://www.wageningenur.nl/en/Ed ... cal-Transitions.htm


We are looking for

Systems ranging from the brain and society to ecosystems and the climate can have tipping points where even minor perturbations can invoke a critical transition to a contrasting state. Mathematical theory suggests that the vicinity of a tipping point for such transitions may be inferred from generic features of fluctuations and spatial patterns. The PhD positions we offer will elaborate this exciting new idea further, and search for ways to detect such early warning signals in data.

The work will be done in close collaboration with our highly interdisciplinary community of collaborators including mathematicians, climate scientists, medical specialists, social scientists and ecologists (Sparcs, http://www.sparcs-center.org/). The positions are part of an EU Innovative Training Network on critical transitions (CRITICS ITN) that involves  training and exchange programs of PhDs between partners in the EU. You will get a temporary position of 4 years at Wageningen UR (www.aew.wur.nl) supervised by Egbert van Nes and Marten Scheffer.


We ask

The successful candidate has received a MSc providing a basic insight in mathematics of dynamical systems and data analysis techniques. However, good communication skills and a profound curiosity for a broad range of sciences are also essential for this job. We are looking for truly exceptional candidates that preferably already wrote a scientific publication.  Only candidates that did not live longer than 12 months in The Netherlands since September 2012 are eligible. See for general requirements for the PhD programme: http://www.wageningenur.nl/en/Ed ... /PhD-Programme.htm.




We offer

A full-time appointment (1.0 fte, 38 hours/week) for a period of 18 months with extension of 30 months. Salary ranges from � 2125,- (gross) in the first year to � 2717,-(gross) in the fourth year based on full-time employment.
