PhD student position in fluid mechanics of turbulent clouds

 Climate change is a socio-economic challenge, and climate simulations are the only tool to predict our planet's future climate. Clouds are crucial for weather and climate predictions. According to the IPCC, cloud modelling is one of the least understood domains in climate sciences and is “listed as one of the most urgent problems requiring scientific attention”. Clouds are considered the largest source of uncertainty in climate predictions because it is complicated to accurately model the small-scale process (microphysics) inside clouds occurring in a range from meters to nanometers in a global climate model where the resolution is of the order of Kilometers. This project will address this challenge by using novel multiscale techniques developed for general multiphase flows that allow us to accurately solve the small-scale cloud turbulence and its impact on nucleation, evaporation and collisions of cloud droplets.

Project description
The Department of Mechanics and Maritime Science at Chalmers University is offering a doctoral position to investigate, quantify, and model the impact of turbulence on the dynamics of water droplets/aerosols inside warm ice-free clouds. The methodology combines different numerical techniques including Direct (DNS) and Large-Eddy (LES) Simulations, together with stochastic models to predict the water droplet number and size spectra inside clouds and the mechanics of rain formation. The aim is to measure the main microphysical processes that determine, in combination with turbulence, the cloud droplet sizes: nucleation of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), growth by condensation of water vapor, growth by collisions/coalescence induced by turbulence and gravity. The project is highly interdisciplinary and involves interactions and collaborations with statistics and atmospheric physicists.

Information about the division and the department
The position will be open at the Fluid Dynamic division of Mechanical and Maritime Science department. The research at the Division covers turbulent flow (both compressible and incompressible), multiphase flows, aero-acoustics and turbomachines. Our tools include both computations and experiments. The research covers a wide range of topics. In some research projects the smallest turbulent scales are studied whereas in others the function of a complete gas turbine is analyzed and modelled. The Division of Fluid Dynamics is part of Chalmers Sustainable Transport Initiative, Chalmers eScience Initiative and Chalmers Energy Initiative.

Major responsibilities
As a PhD student, you will be central to the development of the project, and also be responsible for the implementation, validation and data analysis of the numerical tools.

You are expected to learn to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. Your research activities will contribute to enhanced knowledge in the scientific field, in particular by presenting your results in scientific journals and at international conferences.

The position also includes teaching courses within Chalmers' undergraduate level corresponding to up to 20 percent of the working hours

Qualifications
To qualify as a PhD student, you must have a master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in a relevant field. You also need a MSc in Mechanical Eng., Naval/Maritime Eng., Chemical Eng., Physics, Math. Eng., Aeronautics or any corresponding MSc. The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. If Swedish is not your native language, Chalmers offers Swedish courses.

Contract terms
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of 4,5 years.

PhD position in Privacy Preserving and Accountable Decentralized Protocols

 The IT University of Copenhagen invites highly motivated individuals to apply for a PhD position starting in 15 January 2023  or soon thereafter.

The IT University’s vision is to create and share knowledge that is profound and leads to groundbreaking information technology and services for the benefit of humanity. The Computer Science Department seeks to conduct research and education that are both foundational and have impact on industry and society.

Job description
In this project, we will investigate new techniques for constructing privacy preserving smart contracts that do not leak user data on the blockchain but still allow for public verification of their executions. While anonymous cryptocurrency systems such as Zcash solve the privacy issues of most current systems, they irrevocably hide all user activities, making it impossible to investigate illegal activities conducted in the system. Aiming at constructing regulation compliant protocols, we will investigate techniques for lawful auditing of user activities in privacy preserving blockchain applications.

The research in this project will focus on employing techniques from the areas of secure multiparty computation, zero knowledge and anonymous credentials to construct privacy preserving yet auditable cryptographic protocols for decentralized applications. More specifically, we will use these techniques to design and analyze provably secure multiparty computation with auditability guarantees and efficient integration with smart contract and cryptocurrency systems. We will also focus on improving the efficiency of such protocols aiming at practical applications.

The successful applicant should have a strong background in computer science or mathematics, with a focus on complexity theory, number theory, algebra and probability theory. Previous research experience in security and cryptography (specially in cryptographic protocols) is most welcome. Moreover, the successful candidate should be motivated and enthusiastic about theoretical research in cryptography.

General information

PhD of International Studies

 A Single, Green Market for Capital? A critical political economy perspective on the completion of the Capital Markets Union

The Department of Social Sciences and Business, Roskilde University, Denmark, invites applications for a position as PhD of International Studies from 1 March 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is a double degree in collaboration with the Political Science Department of the Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

The overall period for the project is limited to three years. During the first 18 months, the candidate will be based at Radboud University and during the last 18 months of the project at Roskilde University. Physical presence at the respective university during this period is mandatory. That means that the PhD position involves moving from the Netherlands to Denmark in 2024 (the moving costs will be partially covered by the universities).

If the PhD process lives up to the requirements at the two universities, you will be awarded with a degree from each of the universities (a double degree).

Description of the PhD project

The financial system of the EU has gone through a turbulent time since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This gave renewed impetus and opportunity for the European Commission to accelerate the larger plan to unite capital markets in Europe through the Capital Markets Union (CMU).

The CMU stands at a crucial conjuncture of European market integration; as an institutional process, it is marked by the fundamental fault lines between financial market liberalization and attempts to regulate the sector, while at the same time ensuring a transition that is green and inclusive. These developments are set in a broader context of far-reaching structural changes and geopolitical rivalries in the global economy more generally, and the changing role of banks vis-a-vis other financial sector agents in the provision of credit and/or equity in particular. Possible focal points include, for instance: the financing of the European Green Deal; the link between CMU and industrial policy; the role of financial markets actors, business actors and civil society in the CMU process.  

Explaining the politics that inform the CMU relaunch provides an important building block for understanding the EU’s attempts to unlock investments against the backdrop of the unfolding integration trajectory of the European political economy.

Applicants are invited to send in a project description addressing these processes, with a clear focus on the political economy of European integration. We encourage applicants from a wide range of approaches and perspectives.

Your project description shall be no more than four pages, excluding a bibliography. It should include a clear empirical focus point related to CMU; relevant research question(s); an indication of relevant literatures and theoretical perspectives; and a tentative research design.  Considerations regarding ethical aspects shall be included in your project description
