PhD Studentship in Design at Goldsmiths University of London

Overview
The Department of Design at Goldsmiths, University of London, is pleased to announce one 3-year, fully funded, PhD studentship in Design, available from October 2010 or January 2011.The student will be expected to make a strong contribution to research in the department, working with established researchers on topics close to their own. Examples of relevant research groups and interests within the department include:
  • The Interaction Research Studio : socially-oriented and speculative interaction design. Current projects focus on design for interpretation and re framing online information for specific situations.
  • The PI studio : ubiquitous computing, product innovation, and design for public spaces.
  • Technology Education Research Unit : exploring design processes, including through digital capture, in the contexts of learning, teaching, assessment and research.
  • Environmental Design : critically sensitive design interventions focused on environmental issues. Current projects focus on ecological urbanism, designing for political engagement and participation, and creative practice for climate change.
  • New Materials : the nature, attributes of and applications for new materials for design

PhD Studentship in Heap leaching at Imperial College London

Overview
Development of a Heap Leaching Simulator for the Minerals Industry Imperial College London, Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Phd Studentship. Heap leaching is a process for extracting metals from ores. It is rapidly increasing in its usage due to lower operating and capital costs compared to more conventional extraction methods.This project will involve integrating a novel continuum description for the unsaturated flow of liquid through a packed bed with models for mass transport, reaction kinetics and heat flow within the heap in order to produce an overall simulation of the process.

Snorri Sturluson Icelandic Fellowships

Overview
The rni Magnsson Institute for Icelandic Studies invites applications for the Snorri Sturluson Icelandic Fellowships.
