PhD Student in Traffic Assignment, Hasselt University, Belgium

PhD Student Traffic Assignment (2×2 years)

Vacature 090/32/096-2e/TRAN
Within the Transportation Research Institute (IMOB) of Hasselt University, the following position (m/f) is available:

PhD student Traffic Assignment (2×2 years) (mandate 090/32/096)

Job description
This PhD project consists of assigning the journeys (an origin-destination matrix) generated by an activity-based transport model to a traffic network (traffic assignment). Traditionally, an `assignment model` is being used for this end. The goal of this research project is to study the existing assignment models and then improving them by means of extra information delivered by the activity-based transport model regarding the journeys made.

Profile
The candidate must have affinity with quantitative research- and data-analysis methods and software programming.

Diploma
Master Civil Engineer, Master Statistics, Master Mathematics, Master Commercial Engineer (in Business Information Systems), Master in the Engineering Sciences, Master Informatics, Master Transportation Sciences, or an equivalent degree. Senior students are also encouraged to apply.

10 PhD Scholarships in Engineering, Swansea University, UK

Zienkiewicz Scholarship 2010/11 Entry – 10 Elite International PhDs

School of Engineering,
Swansea University
Swansea, Wales, UK.

This scholarship is in honour of the late Professor Olgierd (Olek) Cecil Zienkiewicz, CBE, FREng, FRS. He joined Swansea University in 1961 as Head of the Department of Civil Engineering and was latterly Emeritus Professor of the University. He was an exceptional British Civil Engineer and Scientist who was widely regarded as the `Father of the Finite Element Method`, a computational modelling technique that allows engineers to design ever more challenging structures, aeroplanes or other components and processes with minimal use of expensive experimental testing. The highly prestigious Zienkiewicz Scholarships are only available to International students and reserved only for top calibre students (minimum of a First Class Honours Degree equivalent, IELTS at 7.0 or equivalent and ideally a Masters Degree and/or experience) and awards will be allocated on a competitive basis.

Postdoctoral Position, Junior Fellowship Ontario Centre for Engineering and Public Policy (OCEPP), Canada

From ancient times, engineering has had a profound impact on our lives. During the past few decades in particular, it has been challenged to help us deal with dwindling energy resources, drinking water safety and traffic gridlock. Increasingly, government and business leaders are looking to engineering to help devise wise, sustainable solutions to these and emerging issues.

Recognizing this need, Professional Engineers Ontario created the Ontario Centre for Engineering and Public Policy in June 2008 to enhance the voice of engineering in the public policy process. It is envisioned that the centre will operate independently, with support expected from an array of organizations interested in nurturing the contributions of engineering to public policy.

The centre focuses on specific areas of research, including energy, the environment, health care, regulation and engineering talent. This focus will expand to further specializations as the centre develops.

The centre has five key areas of activity:

  • developing policy issue papers;
  • hosting an annual engineering and public policy conference;
  • producing an engineering and public policy publication;
  • building public policy-focused collaborations throughout the engineering profession; and
  • creating links to university programs covering engineering and public policy.
