The College hopes to elect not later than 1 December 2010 to an ABDULLAH AL-MUBARAK RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP IN ISLAMIC AND MIDDLE EASTERN STUDIES, with tenure from 1 January 2011. Candidates should have recently completed or be about to complete a doctoral degree. The College welcomes applications from scholars with research interests in any aspect of Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies, including especially Gulf Studies. The tenure of the Fellowship will be for three years. The holder will be expected to do a limited amount of teaching for the College, but would require the permission of the Governing Body to undertake other paid work. The stipend currently ranges from £20,938 to £23,566 and is reviewed annually.

The School of Engineering and Science at Jacobs University Bremen invites applications for a Ph.D. Student Position in Physics in the working group of Prof. Arnulf Materny. Earliest starting date is 1 October 2010.
The DFG (German Research Foundation) has granted an ambitious project with an overall volume of more than half million Euro. The new research project aims at the combination of femtosecond time-resolved nonlinear Raman spectroscopy with scanning probe microscopy. Both the nonlinear four-wave mixing spectroscopy, where three laser pulses generate time-dependent Raman signals, and the nanoscopy (AFM, NSOM, etc.) are complex techniques. Therefore, this project makes high demands on the experimenter. The set-up has already been completed and the new student would work together with a senior student already experienced in performing the experiments.

The Clique Strategic Research Cluster at University College Dublin is seeking a PhD candidate to work on the problem of identifying anomalous structure in graphs. The candidate, in collaboration with other researchers, will investigate graph-based approaches to uncovering anomalies. The graph-based approaches can be categorized as either supervised or unsupervised. In the supervised variant a user has some preconceived ideas of the structure and properties of the anomalies that may exist. In the unsupervised variant the system will automatically suggest some initial anomalous structures to the user which he or she can then refine. Both approaches are useful, for example, when searching for fraud and suspicious activity in graphs that model financial transactions. The solutions will be tested and evaluated on real-world data provided by our industry partners.
