3-year full time position at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO), Institute of Architecture
Main theme: Architectural potentials of wood-based structural systems and building envelopes applied in urban building typologies
The research project: Increased Use of Wood in Urban Areas – WOOD/BE/BETTER
The PhD-position will be a part of this interdisciplinary project that will span four years starting in 2013. The project is a part of the BIONAER program established by the Research Council of Norway. The main collaborating institutions are:

One PhD position will be based at AHO in the centre of Oslo, two others will be based at UMB about 40 km south of Oslo.
The PhD at AHO: Themes and tasks
Wood in urban building typologies is a central theme both in the research project and in the PhD. The study should clarify architectural potential in wood-based construction systems and building envelope solutions. The WOOD/BE/BETTER project will put focus on project types that represent large building volumes in Norway´s urban development. Housing is expected to play an important role. Other functions and building categories are also relevant. Architectural adaptability to varying sites and programs must be sought for.
Supervision of the PhD at AHO will be provided by the AHO faculty. The AHO PhD work in architecture will be coordinated with the two others at UMB, whose research areas will be structure systems and building envelopes. This will be an important part of the interdisciplinary collaboration between the institutions. In addition, a selection of leading architectural firms is associated with the project. Their feedback and interaction will be important.
The integration of research and teaching is a primary focus of the WOOD/BE/BETTER project. Interdisciplinary coordinated master courses at AHO will interact with the research. Contact with the students and teams of teachers and researchers will be an integral part of the PhD work.
Qualifications
We are looking for a candidate holding a Master of Architecture. Experience from detailed architectural design of a high quality will be given high priority. Familiarity with environmental issues related to the building sector is important. Good oral and written skills in English are required.

Denmark : PhD Scholarship in Political Science at ICourts


Applications are invited for a PhD Scholarship in Political Science at ICourts - Centre of Excellence for International Courts, Faculty of Law and The Department of Political Science at The University of Copenhagen. Employment is to begin as soon as possible or on 1 August
2013 if possible. ICourts, the Danish National Research Foundation´s Centre of Excellence for International Courts, is a new research centre dedicated to the study of international courts, their role in a globalizing legal order and their impact on politics and society. To understand these crucial and contemporary interplays of law, politics and society, the centre hosts a set of integrated interdisciplinary research projects on the causes and consequences of the proliferation of international courts. See further at www.jura.ku. dk/icourts

ICourts is now recruiting a PhD student with a political science training within the area of international courts and legitimacy. We are particularly looking for exciting projects which can provide new empirical and theoretical insights into the causes and consequences of international adjudication on the national/societal level. One way of studying the legitimacy of international courts could thus be to try to find out whether the case law that comes out of the courts is in fact used as a source and reference point by national courts and governments. But also whether and to what degree litigants like ordinary citizens and private organizations/ cooperations actively use and refer to cases coming from the international level. The legitimacy of international courts can also be studied from other points of departure of course. It is however important to stress that research at iCourts is problem-driven and focused on salient empirical and theoretical issues with the goal of proving path-breaking basic scientific knowledge of the impact of international courts on politics and society. See further at www.jura.ku.dk/icourts/research

We are especially interested in research proposals that include quantitative research methodologies like those traditionally employed in sociology and political science. Research questions should address the development of a raising global order but prior knowledge of
international courts is not a precondition. We welcome applications from candidates within sociology and political science. Students with mixed law-politics background are obviously also welcome to apply as are lawyers well versed in political science methodologies.

Deadline: 15 April 2013

Sweden : PhD-student position in Population Genetics


We are seeking a PhD student in population genetics to be active in the research project ”Insect life cycle genomics and adaptation in the wild”, with financial support from the Knut & Alice Wallenberg Foundation and the Swedish Research Council. The large-scale project is a collaboration between researchers with expertise in population genetics, ecology, ethology, morphology, immunology and molecular genetics with the aim to attack central biological questions regarding how genes interact to produce a whole organism with a life cycle that is adapted to local conditions. The central idea of the project is to take on these difficult questions by means of an integrative, cross-disciplinary approach, with a close interaction between research on two insect systems: the green-veined white butterfly Pieris napi and the fruit fly Drosophila. The ecology of the butterfly has been intensively studies by us and others, and the research collaboration also includes expertise on Drosophila as a model system. This gives us the opportunity to genetically compare butterflies known to be adapted to different ecological situations, and when we find genes that are candidates for being involved in such adaptation we can study their effects in the Drosophila system.
We will initially target three phenotypes: diapause, wing pattern and immunity. We will make use of platforms at e.g. SciLifeLab,www.scilifelab.se, for next generation sequencing, RNA-Seq and other high-throughput services. The advertised position focuses primarily on the butterfly P. napi. Our research group has published extensively on the ecology and evolution of this and related species, and we are in the process of generating a high quality P. napi genome. The PhD position may include all steps from field- and laboratory experiments to analysis of genomic data and gene expression (RNA-Seq).

Qualification and competence
To be qualified for research studies in population genetics the applicant must have completed a research degree (e.g. Master’s), or have passed at least 120 hp (2 years) of biological studies, including an approved independent project of at least 30 hp at advanced level (“examensarbete”) within population genetics or a related subject. Applicants, who have in principle acquired the corresponding competence in Sweden, or abroad, are also qualified.

Criteria for selection
Among qualified applicants, selection is made according to the ability to profit from the studies. The criteria to be used are properly documented competence within the described research area, capabilities with regards to speaking and writing in English (and Swedish, when relevant), analytical thinking, creativity, initiative, independence, and team work performance. The applicant’s earlier experience within the field of research can be of relevance especially when further documented by university courses, independent research works, personal references, interview and an application indicating the applicant’s motivations in written form. While bioinformatics and programming experience is not required, evidence of such experience, or interest in obtaining such experience, is sought.

The application should contain
  1. maximum one A4-page of personal presentation and letter of intent/motivation,
  2. CV (including methodological skills),
