The Civil Engineering Department at Clemson University invites applications for twoGraduate Assistantships for Ph.D. Students to start August 2010. The Graduate Assistants will investigate the coupling of Single Phenomena Models into one Multi-Phenomena Model, and the application of statistical methods to quantify uncertainty, determine parameter sensitivity and infer parameter values from experiments.
During the course of their graduate education, the Ph.D. students will be expected to acquire relevant skills in (1) Effect Screening, (2) Sensitivity Analysis, (3) Experimental Design, (4) Sampling Techniques, (5) Uncertainty Quantification, (6) Model Verification and Validation and expertise in (7) Statistical Inference for model Calibration. Therefore, the suitable background of the doctoral student to accomplish these tasks in a timely manner, must include (1) statistics, (2) numerical modeling, and (3) programming experience (e.g. Matlab, Fortran, C, C++, parallel computing, Unix programming and Linux) . Although an M.S. degree is not mandatory, students with a prior M.S. degree will be given priority. Applicants should have good command of both written and spoken English.
We seek a highly motivated and creative Ph.D. student for a multi-disciplinary project funded by NSF. Innovation and diligence combined with the ability to assimilate cross-disciplinary literature are essential.
The primary goal is the Re-Os dating of graptolites in a detailed biostratigraphic context. The student will be based with the AIRIE Program at Colorado State University, with a competitive stipend for at least two years.
Graduate Research Assistant (GRA), Ph.D. Biogeochemistry of Organic Metal Binding Agents
NCSU Soil and Environmental Biogeochemistry Laboratory (PI: Owen Duckworth)
JOB DESCRIPTION
We seek an exceptional Ph.D. student to conduct NSF-funded independent research on the interactions of microbial exudates (siderophores) with mineral surfaces and metals. Activities include conducting traditional geochemical, molecular modeling, and cutting-edge spectroscopic experiments to better understand the fundamental mechanisms of biogeochemical processes. Opportunities exist to interact closely with collaborators in and travel to Northern California and New York City.
Related activities include laboratory work in Raleigh and California; data analysis; report and manuscript preparation; and presentation of research at local, regional, and national meetings. All GRAs participate in our teaching program by assisting in the instruction three laboratory sections of the introductory undergraduate soils course or an equivalent teaching experience.
The Socio-technical Modeling and Simulation team in the Information Sciences Group (CCS-3) at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has projects in modeling and simulation spanning the full range of research activities from problem analysis, algorithmic and system design, to implementation, testing and applications of our tools. Our work covers a diverse and ever-expanding spectrum of application
domains with a focus on infrastructure modeling; our current portfolio includes communication networks, transportation networks, commodity networks, epidemic modeling, agent-based activity modeling, and social networks. Our simulations model large-scale socio-technological systems with high fidelity. To tackle the scalability challenge, we implement our systems on high-performance distributed computing clusters. Most of our students have been able to publish their work done here in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
Every day Facebook confronts the most complex technical problems and we believe that close relationships with the academy will enable us to address many of these problems at a fundamental level and solve them. As part of our ongoing commitment to academic relations, we are pleased to announce the creation of the Facebook Fellowship program to support graduate students in the 2010-2011 school year.
We are interested in a wide range of academic topics, including the following topical areas:

The United States Indonesia Society (USINDO) invites applications for its two 2009 travel/study grants for post-doctoral scholars, Ph.D. candidates, senior academics, and otherwise professionally qualified candidates to engage in field research in Indonesia on an economic or political-economic topic. One grant is available to United States citizens and permanent residents in the United States with a specific project relating to the political economy of Indonesia . The Indonesian Sumitro Fellowship is open to an Indonesian citizen with a project related to the Indonesia-United States bilateral relationship. Previous travel to, and experience in, Indonesia or the United States (for Indonesian Sumitro applicants) is desirable but not necessarily a requirement.

Professor Sumitro was also the driving force behind a 1950’s program of the Ford Foundation which sent Indonesian economists to U.S. academic institutions for advanced degrees. Many attended the University of California at Berkeley and the group came to be known as the “Berkeley Mafia” when its members assumed many key cabinet posts in subsequent decades.
