The Thematic Program on Forcing and its Application will take place at the Institute July to December 2012. The fellowships provide for a period of engagement in research and participation in the activities of the Institute.

In addition to regular postdoctoral support, one visitor for each six-month program will be awarded the Institute`s prestigious Jerrold E. Marsden Postdoctoral Fellowship. There will also be a number of two year positions available connected to the Fields-Ontario fellowship.

[Belgium] PhD position in electricity generation systems modeling at University of Leuven

PhD position in electricity generation systems modeling at University of Leuv

Overview
I would like to draw your attention to a vacancy for a PhD in the TME group (http://www.mech.kuleuven.be/en/tme/research/energy_environment ) of the University of Leuven (http://www.kuleuven.be ), Belgium. Please forward this message to potentially interested candidates.

Focus of this PhD is on the modeling of electricity generation in future low carbon power systems. Demand-supply balancing in systems consisting of large amounts of intermittent renewables, nuclear and fossil-fired power plants with carbon capture and storage will pose important challenges in the future. Advanced modeling techniques are required to address these issues at hand. This PhD has a technical focus (electrical/mechanical), but also relates to techno-economic and energy policy aspects.
