Description of the research project

Railway transportation is generally regarded as a sustainable and attractive mode of transportation in Europe. To keep (inter)national railway systems operating in a reliable and cost-effective manner in the present as well as the future, the development and implementation of novel technologies is needed. Automated Train Operations (ATO) is an example off such a technology where (parts of) train operations are automated to enable novel ways of operating and optimizing train operations.

For novel technologies such as ATO to be considered for implementation, a good understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the technology are needed, as well as the circumstances under which the technology is applied. ATO relies on the development and gradual implementation of several state-of-the-art sensing, signaling and safety technologies for rolling stock and railway infrastructure in multiple European countries. Assessing the value of such large-scale socio-technical changes is not straightforward, given the technical complexity, broad spectrum of tangible and intangible costs and benefits, and the need to account for a wide range of stakeholder needs. The PhD project focuses on the development of generalizable methods and tools for valuating novel railway technologies such as ATO. This includes research on (1) How tangible and intangible costs and benefits can be best modelled and evaluated; (2) How the valuation models and assessments can be co-developed in close collaboration with specialists from international railway organizations; (3) How complexities and uncertainties in such models and evaluations can be managed to arrive at a clear and succinct result; (4) How the process of developing these evaluations can be facilitated; And (5) Providing recommendations for the development of evaluation of migration strategies for the transition to more autonomous forms of railway operations

The research is supported by the European Joint Rail Undertaking of the European Union (see https://rail-research.europa.eu), which allows a knowledge exchange with international railway partners and knowledge institutions.

As a PhD candidate, you will be responsible for carrying out an independent, full-time, 4-year research project that requires the integration of several research areas at the interface between engineering and management. As part of the research project, you will have the opportunity to evaluate your developed methods and tools in practice, together with several partners in the European railway sector. You will be assigned to the Asset Management & Maintenance Engineering (AMME) group, which is part of the Department of Design, Production and Management (DPM) of the Faculty of Engineering Technology (ET).

Description of the research project

In the rapidly evolving landscape of electricity generation and distribution, enhancing the capacity of existing infrastructure is vital. The IDLEC project at the University of Twente, in collaboration with the company Liander, aims to address this need by exploring ways to safely increase the dynamic load capacity of the electricity grid, from transformers and substations to underground cables. The synergy of the research groups ET-DBM (Dynamics Based Maintenance) and ET-AMME (Asset Management and Maintenance Engineering) will be leveraged. The ET-DBM group will focus on the physics of failures and will design the algorithms for real-time monitoring systems, while ET-AMME will work on the asset management ensuring optimal deployment and utilization of the developed methods.

The Challenge

The goal of this research is to develop a framework (methods, models, monitoring systems) that enables Liander to dynamically load existing infrastructure components by briefly operating them above their nominal design capacity in situations where this can be safely achieved. Setting dynamic thresholds and implementing real-time monitoring of key performance parameters such as current and temperature are crucial in managing the degradation over the life cycle.

In addition, a health monitoring plan is needed to implement maintenance policies for dynamic loading in a timely manner this part of the research is more focused on asset management and how to organize Condition based Maintenance in cross functional teams.

The CaPANES project pursues legal-historical analysis of both the domestic context of cities of commerce and of their interactions with other cities and states. The CaPANES combines qualitative and quantitative methods (social network analysis, modelling), and aims to yield conclusions that are relevant also for discussions on present-day economic sovereignty. The PhD candidates will analyze the interactions between six cities of commerce (Florence, Toulouse, Rouen, Bruges, Southampton and Lübeck). The first PhD position is concerned with Bruges, Southampton and Florence (c. 1400-c. 1520), the second PhD position with Rouen, Lübeck and Toulouse (c. 1400-c. 1550). 20% of the appointment may be dedicated to teaching and/or administration.

Area of research: PHD Thesis Part-Time Suitability: The position is suitable for part-time employment. Job description:PhD position in "Seasonally resolved ecophysiology of Arctic phytoplankton assemblages under global warming" (m/f/d) Background The Arctic is warming more than twice as fast as the global average, which changes ecosystem phenology and productivity. Still, our understanding of Arctic ecological processes is based predominantly on studies conducted during spring and summer, so that many seasonal aspects (e.g. life-cycling, overwintering) and their sensitivity to global change are still poorly understood. The YESSS project aims at better understanding the responses of Arctic coastal ecosystems and their key species to warming, by means of weekly assessments of oceanographic and biological ‘core’ parameters. These in-situ observations are complemented with dedicated season-specific experiments on temperature responses of key species from multiple trophic levels (phytoplankton, seaweeds, mollusks, echinoderms and fish). This PhD project will investigate the interaction between environmental conditions and seasonal variations in key traits of Arctic natural phytoplankton assemblages. Further, seasonally-resolved experiments on the temperature sensitivity of phytoplankton in different successional and physiological stages (e.g. pre-bloom, spring bloom, post-bloom, overwintering) will be conducted to understand the effects of Arctic warming and to identify physiological bottlenecks and detect potential tipping points. Tasks
  • Join five >6 week-long expeditions to a coastal Arctic research station in a small team with a diverse range of tasks
  • Conduct weekly in-situ sampling from small boats in all seasons
  • Plan, conduct and analyze seasonally-resolved experiments on the thermal scope of Arctic natural phytoplankton assemblages
  • Perform physiological assays with natural phytoplankton assemblages to measure rates of important processes (e.g. primary production, respiration, grazing losses)
  • Work in a larger consortium to understand which seasons are most sensitive to climate change effects on Arctic coastal ecosystem functioning
  • Present your finding on international conference and publish in peer-reviewed journals
Requirements
  • M.Sc. degree in marine biology, biological oceanography or related fields
  • Background in phytoplankton research, either experimental or field work
  • Physical fitness, personal aptitude and willingness for frequent and long research expeditions to the Arctic
  • Particularly high levels of flexibility, resilience and team spirit
  • Excellent spoken and written English skills
Further Information The AWI is characterised by The AWI is characterised by
  • our scientific success - excellent research

Job description:The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam – GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences is the national centre for geosphere research. As a member of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres we are part of the largest scientific organization in Germany. With approximately 1,500 employees our key mission is to secure a profound understanding of the systems and processes of solid Earth, to develop strategies and options for action in addressing global change and its impacts on a regional level, to understand natural hazards and to minimize associated risks, to ensure the sustainable provision of energy and raw materials for a high-tech society and to evaluate the influence of human activity on system Earth.

In the context of the energy transition and the associated phase-out of coal and nuclear energy, a considerably more intensive use of the underground will be necessary, e.g. for energy storage, usage of deep geothermal systems, or the sequestration of CO2 into the subsurface. Another challenge in the future is the long-term safe storage of high-level nuclear waste into a deep geological repository. These future new and changed utilisation concepts place new demands on the integrity and long-term stability of georeservoirs both directly related to the stress state and its human-induced stress changes.

For section 2.6 Seismic Hazard and Risk Dynamics we are looking for a:

About the position

Field of Specialization: Disability Justice Academic Unit: Sociology and Anthropology Category of Appointment: Preliminary (Tenure-Track)/Tenured Rank/Position Title: Assistant or Associate Professor and SSHRC Canada Research Chair, Tier II Start Date: July 1, 2024 Closing Date: Applications will be considered beginning January 8, 2024, and continue until position is filled.                        

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology (SOAN) invites applications from qualified candidates for a SSHRC Tier II Canada Research Chair (CRC) appointment in Disability Justice.  The chair, whose appointment will be in sociology, will be at the rank of assistant professor or associate professor beginning July 1, 2024. Appointment is conditional on the approval of the application by the CRC Secretariat.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD with a focus on Disability Justice and a record of strong SSHRC funding. Disability justice centres the transformative role of disability politics, cultures, and communities to collectively dismantle ableism and build more accessible and socially just relations in the world. Emerging out of US activism done by disabled people of colour and disabled queer and trans people in the early 2000s, the unique knowledge produced by disability justice approaches is beneficial to disabled people, policymakers, not-for-profit sectors, social movements, and scholarly work in critical disability and social movement studies and beyond. Reconceptualizing disability as an intersecting social, cultural, and political phenomenon, the CRC in Disability Justice will engage with the ingenuity of Carleton’s emerging interdisciplinary network of critical disability studies scholars and accessibility experts, as well as draw on community partners, artists, and activists in the national capital region and beyond. Disability justice issues remain under-examined both locally, nationally, and internationally.  To redress this, the Chair will build on Carleton’s excellent research reputation as a leader in accessibility and critical disability studies to expand its internationally competitive research program to include disability justice social movements, cultures, scholarship, and activism. Potential research areas include a wide range of methodological, theoretical, and community based approaches taking up abolition, transinstitutionalization, and carceral ableism; crip theory; mad studies; decolonial, post-colonial, and transnational disability studies; fat studies; feminist and intersectional theory; bio/necro politics; political economy of disability, health and wellness; medicalization and the politics of diagnosis, treatment, and cure; national and global health inequities; disability futures; disability cultures; and Medical Assistance in Dying.

To see the full position posting, please visit Carleton University’s Deputy Provost’s website at https://carleton.ca/deputyprovost/jobs/academics/.

Tier 2 Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars (i.e., candidates must have been an active researcher in their field for fewer than 10 years at the time of nomination).
