The goal of the project is to deduce separate climate and<br />physiological signals from tree rings, to be able to detect these interactions. We have<br />developed an approach to measure isotopomer abundances (i.e. the intramolecular<br />distributions of stable isotopes in metabolites), by NMR spectroscopy. Isotopomers turn<br />isotope abundances into multiple information channels, as basis for parallel reconstruction<br />of climate and physiological signals.<br /><br />The PhD project will focus on the deuterium isotope,<br />applied to tree ring series and material from annual plants. The research environment<br />includes chemists, earth scientists, and forest ecology.<br /><br />Qualifications: Applicants must have a master’s degree in chemistry, earth sciences or a<br />related field. We seek a person who is highly motivated to combine methodology from<br />several fields. Key qualifications for this position include experience in handling<br />environmental samples and familiarity with isotope concepts; experience in NMR<br />spectroscopy is a merit.<br /><br />The PhD project can start immediately or upon agreement. Applications should include<br />CV, a short statement of motivation, copies of master’s degree and thesis, and names and<br />addresses of three persons willing to act as references.<br /><br />For more information contact:<br />Prof. Jürgen Schleucher<br />Department of Medical Biochemistry & Biophysics<br />Umeå University, S-90187 Umeå, Sweden<br />jurgen.schleucher@chem.umu.sePURWARNOhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593786911621465199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5897345191617903684.post-28283246237531632782008-06-25T02:21:00.000-07:002008-06-25T02:22:25.322-07:00PhD Studentship in Project Management - Cranfield University<span style=""></span>PhD Studentship<o:p></o:p> <p>False Optimism in Project Management<o:p></o:p></p> <p>International Centre for Programme Management<o:p></o:p></p> <p><st1:placename st="on">Cranfield</st1:PlaceName> <st1:placetype st="on">School</st1:PlaceType> of Management - one of <st1:place st="on">Europe</st1:place>’s top management schools - is offering this PhD studentship within its International Centre for Programme Management, a world-leading hub for research into this important emerging discipline.
