PhD College Scholarship Opportunities Position

The PhD College Scholarship Opportunities project is related to a recently initiated interdisciplinary strategic research project ‘Next Generation Technology for Global Software Development’ whose main objective is to understand the key challenges and opportunities for communication and coordinative activities between globally dispersed participants engaged in close collaboration when developing software systems. This College Scholarship Opportunities research project is conducted by an interdisciplinary and international consortium consisting of academic partners from Copenhagen Business School, the IT University of Denmark and Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, and of three global IT companies as industrial partners.
The PhD College Scholarship Opportunities is likewise expected to join the department’s and CBS´ research environment. Integrating methods and perspectives from the social sciences and the humanities, the Department of Intercultural Communication and Management focuses on the challenges of globalization for business and society and on how companies, governments and individuals themselves constitute the phenomenon known as globalization. Research revolves around how global flows are transforming the ideas and practices of management, organization and governance in both the private and the public sectors. College Scholarship Opportunities Researchers share a concern with communication and cultures across a number of distinct thematic fields.

PhD Research College Scholarship Opportunities Fellowship at the Department

The fellowship is for a period of up to 4 years with 25 % compulsory work and is available from June 1, 2011. Starting date no later than October 1, 2011.

New Chemistry of Multifunctional Solids

The research will involve the synthesis and characterization of valence precise and hole-doped ternary transition metal fluorides containing orbitally active transition metals. The goals are: (i) to fill the gap of fundamental knowledge that we currently have in non-oxide strongly correlated electron systems (ii) to develop new methodologies for the synthesis of hole-doped transition metal fluoride phases as potential analogues of manganates and cuprates and (iii) to use a rich variety of techniques to elucidate their structural, magnetic and electronic phase diagrams.

Rationalizing the electronic and magnetic behaviour and determining the performance limits of these families of materials will greatly enhance our current understanding of complex systems and the underlying mechanisms behind the occurrence of exploitable physical phenomena such as: metal-insulator transitions, electronic/magnetic phase segregation, colossal magnetoresistance and multiferroism. The project will provide a broad chemical training and will involve synthetic work, the application of modern structural and magnetic characterisation techniques and the use of advanced computational methods. The student will have the opportunity to visit and work in international laboratories and synchrotron X-ray/neutron sources worldwide.

Requirements

Applicants should have a MSc. or equivalent degree in Chemistry, Crystallography, Materials Science or a related field. Candidates with strong background in inorganic materials and experience in solid state synthesis will be preferred.

The purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a doctoral degree. The fellowship requires admission to the research training program of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. An approved plan for the research training must be submitted no later than two months after taking up the position, and admission approved within three months after the date of commencement.

A good command of English is required.

The application must include:

• Application letter ( statement of research interests)
• CV (summarizing education, positions and academic work)
• Copies of educational certificates, transcript of records and letters of recommendation
• List of publications and academic work that the applicant wishes to be considered by the evaluation committee
• Names and contact details of 2-3 referees (name, relation to candidate, e-mail and telephone number)

Foreign applicants are advised to attach an explanation of their University’s grading system. Please remember that all documents should be in English or a Scandinavian language.

The University of Oslo has an agreement for all employees, aiming to secure rights to research results a.o.

In accordance with the University of Oslo´s equal opportunity policy, we invite applications from all individuals regardless of gender or ethnicity.
