The Leuphana University of Lüneburg in Germany is currently undergoing a process of renewal. Since the fall of 2007, Leuphana has been developing a new model for higher education that is based on humanist values, sustainability and student-centered learning. Having established the College, the Graduate School and the Professional School, the University now intends to raise its profile by offering forty new professorships in various academic fields within the Incubator project. The Innovation Incubator of Lüneburg is a European project for regional economic development involving nearly EUR 100m. It is a major program aimed at regional development, initiated by the Leuphana University and the German Federal State of Lower Saxony. This project, funded mainly by the European Fund for Regional Development (EFRE) and supported by the Leuphana University, aims at moving toward sustainable modernization and development of the Lüneburg region. Lüneburg is located near the City of Hamburg, Northern Germany.

The Bristol Research Initiative for the Dynamic Global Environment (BRIDGE) at the University of Bristol is a world leader in the field of palaeoclimate modelling. One of the main aims of the group is to better understand and predict the causes of past climate change. We wish to appoint a postdoctoral researcher to carry out studies of extreme warm climate of the distant past (Mesozoic era). These climates are interesting since most climate models are unable to reproduce many features of these epochs. The research will focus on quantifying the potential uncertainty in simulations of the period caused by uncertainty from boundaryThe Bristol Research Initiative for the Dynamic Global Environment (BRIDGE) at the University of Bristol is a world leader in the field of palaeoclimate modelling.

We have a strong record in applied research in the academic and industrial sectors. Application areas include vibration monitoring of complex mechanical systems, advance real-time signal and image processing; multi-sensor fusion; multi-phase flows and are applied to the power generation, automotive, aircraft and oil industries.
Your activity, as part of an EU funded project, will be dedicated to the research and development of innovative vibration condition monitoring technologies for turbines and advanced signal processing techniques.

Engineering & Technology (CSET) award, in addition to
significant industry funding. The BDI carries out cutting-edge research focused on the development of next-generation
biomedical diagnostic devices measuring indicators of disease. Our world-class research team currently includes seven
industry partners (Analog Devices, J&J Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Becton Dickinson, Inverness Medical Innovations,
Biosurfit and Millipore), and five clinical and academic partners including the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland (RCSI)
in Dublin, the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science (NCBES) at NUI Galway, Tyndall National Institute
(TNI) in University College Cork, Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and the host institution at Dublin City University (DCU).
Having recently secured an additional €19.1M from Science Foundation Ireland, and associated funding from our
industry partners, we are now seeking applications from suitably qualified research staff to participate in our suite of
exciting new research programmes commencing October 2010.

Research in biomechanics, soft body modelling and deformation registration, numerical methods for soft tissue modelling, mechanics of continuous environments, modelling and analysis of fluids and capillary flows. The applicant would participate in European Union financed FP7 Framework projects SAFROS and I-SUR dedicated to surgical automation.
Requirements: solid background in physics, biomechanics and numerical methods, finate element analysis, thorough understanding of experimental methodology, good communication skills and teamworking experience.

Applications are invited for the post of Professor / Head of School of Life Sciences, a joint appointment in the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science (SEFS) and the College of Medicine and Health (M&H) at University College Cork.

The School of Life Sciences incorporates the Departments of Anatomy, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pharmacology & Therapeutics, and Physiology, and comprises 58 academic staff, 14 administrative and 25 technical staff, 50 researchers/post-docs, 272 postgraduate FTEs (including 195 PhD students) and 1028 undergraduate FTEs.

We are looking for candidates who have research focus in Criminal Law and Criminal Case Law. Teaching covers compulsory subjects as well as the main focus 6 (Criminal Justice and Criminology) combined with the necessary examination work in university as well as state exams. In the framework of the main focus 6 we expect applicants to be able to teach European Criminal Law amongst other subjects. We expect the willingness to contribute to the extension of the faculty’s European and international contacts and to work interdisciplinary by taking advantage of the university’s research potential.
