Erasmus Mundus Scholarships 2010 in Robotics, Europe
16 Erasmus-Mundus Studentships
Computer Vision and Robotics
Applications are currently being considered for 16 fully funded scholarships (fees and stipend for 8 EU and 8 non-EU students) on the prestigious 2-year Erasmus-Mundus European Masters programme on Computer Vision and Robotics (VIBOT) between Heriot Watt University (UK), the Universite de Bourgogne (France) and the Universitat de Girona (Spain).
VIBOT is one of the European Union`s flagship Erasmus-Mundus courses. The key aim of VIBOT is to produce the next generation of leading engineering researchers to solve important future challenges in a broad range of engineering applications. Starting from a comprehensive coverage of the prerequisites in the field of digital imagery and basic image processing, the students will cover at specialized level all subjects of artificial vision applied to robotics, medical imagery and 3D vision.
This Masters programme will provide an unrivalled knowledge in computer vision and robotics applied to industrial problems and medical imagery. Moreover, the students will have also acquired a mobility, a broadmindedness and the language skills which constitute, in an age of globalization, a major asset for finding research work either in a public laboratory or in a private company.
VIBOT encompasses a broad spectrum of scientific and engineering research from fundamental theoretical results to applied engineering solutions that have strong industrial relevance. Individuals within the VIBOT research network are leading authorities on areas ranging from computer vision, autonomous vehicles, statistical signal processing, robotics and image processing.
The Masters candidates will experience research cultures in three different European countries and will be able to draw on the expertise from leading experts in different disciplines and different nationalities. The students spend the first semester in Scotland, the second in Spain and the third in France. The fourth semester is reserved for the 5-month Masters research project at one of the host universities or in industry.
Selection Criteria
Admission to VIBOT is highly competitive and based on academic excellence. Applicants should have a minimum of a BSc degree in computer science, electrical engineering, physics or mathematics. The VIBOT research programme is intended for top level non-EU and EU students with a fluent knowledge in spoken and written English (TOEFL 550). Applicants are expected to provide a statement of their research interests and motivation.

Switzerland: PostDoctoral Research Fellow in Environmental and Climate Economics, University of Bern
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Environmental and Climate Economics, University of Bern, Switzerland
The new Assistant Professorship of Environmental and Climate Economics at the Department of Economics and the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Bern is inviting applications for the position of a post-doctoral researcher in environmental and climate economics.
Candidates should hold a PhD (or be very close to finishing their PhD) in (environmental) economics or a related field. We expect strong skills in theoretical research and/or a broad interest in environmental and climate economics. Experience in one or several of the areas of international (environmental) agreements, permit trading, discounting and intergenerational equity is desirable. Successful applicants should be able to conduct high-level research independently and to publish in international peer-reviewed journals. Experience in successful acquisition of research grants and external funds is desirable. Fluent command of English (both written and spoken) is mandatory.
The post will be jointly affiliated at the Department of Economics and the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research. Collaborations with other researchers at the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research are expected. The objective of the post-doctoral position is to promote excellence in research in order to develop an independent research career in the field of environmental and climate economics.
The salary is in accordance with the regulations of the University of Bern. The University of Bern is an equal opportunity employer: female researchers are particularly encouraged to apply. The position is initially for 3 years, with possible extension up to another 3 years. Starting date is 1st of August 2009 or as soon as possible thereafter. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
Applications containing a detailed CV including publications, details about teaching experience and research grants, one academic paper and contact information of two academic references should be sent electronically to Ralph Winkler, mail[ at ]ralph-winkler.de
