Max Planck Research School ประเทศเยอรมนีเสนอตำแหน่งปริญญาเอก สำหรับผู้สมัครในโครงการด้านอุณหพลศาสตร์และระบบพื้นผิวดิน (Thermodynamics and the Land Surface System) Candidates must have good knowledge of English. (Come to deadline 3 February 2556)
The International Max Planck Research School announces PhD Project in Thermodynamics and the Land Surface System. Applicants from well-motivated and highly-qualified students from all countries are eligible to apply for the scholarship. A prerequisite for joining the school is a diploma or master of science degree in geophysical sciences, environmental sciences, biological sciences, physics, chemistry, computer sciences or related fields, including a corresponding thesis. Proficiency in English is required since English is the official language of the program.
Study Subject(s): Scholarships is provided in the field of Thermodynamics and the Land Surface System.
Course Level: Scholarship is open for pursuing PhD position.
Scholarship Provider: International Max Planck Research School
Scholarship can be taken at: Germany
Eligibility: Applications for the program are open to well-motivated and highly-qualified students from all countries. A prerequisite for joining the school is a diploma or master of science degree in geophysical sciences, environmental sciences, biological sciences, physics, chemistry, computer sciences or related fields, including a corresponding thesis. Proficiency in English is required since English is the official language of the program.
For this particular PhD project they seek a candidate with a strong background in physics and maths interested in developing and applying numerical simulation models to quantify thermodynamic directions and limits of the land surface system.
Scholarship Open for International Students: International students can apply for this scholarship.
Scholarship Description: Energy- and mass exchanges govern the functioning of the land surface, and these are affected by vegetation and human activity. The second law of thermodynamics sets a direction as well as limits to these exchange processes, but the specific implications of the second law are currently hardly explored. The application of thermodynamics to land surface functioning has the potential to much better understand the emergence of land surface heterogeneity and spatial organization, the effects of life, as well as the limits to human activity at a profound level. In this project, thermodynamics is applied to a topic related to the functioning of land surface system. This can include the description of preferential flow structures in hydrology, such as macropores or channel networks, the evaluation of interactions of vegetation with land surface exchange processes or the application to human impacts related to land use change or renewable energy. The PhD candidate will be advised by Axel Kleidon, Lee Miller and Maik Renner, all based at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry.
Duration of award(s): PhD degree in a 3-years graduate program.
Notification: Top candidates will be invited to take part in their selection symposium (April 15-16, 2013)
How to Apply: The mode of applying is online.
Scholarship Application Deadline: Application deadline for these fully funded PhD positions is February 03, 2013.
