Clarendon Fund at University of Oxford

Overview
We are delighted to announce that the Clarendon Fund has now opened up to all graduate applicants regardless of nationality. From 1 September 2011, all graduate applicants to degree-bearing courses for 2012/13 entry will be eligible for this prestigious scholarship funding which has, up until now, only been open to candidates with overseas fee status.

By applying for graduate study at Oxford University (Application Form for Graduate Study) you will automatically be considered for a Clarendon Scholarship. You do not need to submit any additional documents specifically for the Clarendon Scholarships and there is no separate scholarship application form.


[Sweden] Two PhD Positions in Hybrid Knowledge Representation at rebro University

Two PhD Positions in Hybrid Knowledge Representation at Örebro University

Overview
Center for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS) Örebro University, Sweden
Applications are invited for two PhD student positions in Computer Science at Örebro University, Sweden. The positions are in the area of hybrid knowledge representaiton and reasoning, planning and execution monitoring in the context of the EU project RACE. The positions are for three years. Application deadline is October 15, 2011.

About the Positions
The main task of the students will be to perform world-class research on hybrid knowledge representation and reasoning, and hybrid planning and plan execution monitoring, for robotic systems. Hybrid in this context means that the robot is capable of inferring new information about its environment from a variety of information of different nature. For instance, the robot will consider flexible temporal requirements (e.g., serving food while it is warm, but not too soon after the previous course) together with causal requirements (e.g., serving a meal satisfies the goal of feeding the guests) and resource constraints (e.g., dishes from the previous course must be cleared as space must be made for the new course). Such requirements should be upheld both during planning and on-line execution monitoring.

One PhD Position in Robots and Smart Environments at Örebro University

Overview
Center for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS) Örebro University, Sweden
Applications are invited for a PhD student position in Computer Science at Örebro University, Sweden. The position is in the area of the integration of robots and smart environments, with specific emphasis on applications to elderly care. The position is in the context of the EU project Robot-Era, and it is for three years. Application deadline is October 15, 2011.

About the Position
The main task of the student will be to perform world-class research on the integration of robots within and across smart environments. This includes the integration of robots in smart apartments, in smart buildings, and in smart towns. This type of integration will face the student with a number of novel and challenging scientific issues. These issues will be studied within the specific application domain of assistance to elderly people, through the use of real test-bed environments. This domain will serve both as a source of inspiration and as a place for validation of the scientific achievements.
