Graduates Scholarship Area of Computer Music at Institute for System and Computer Engineering of Porto – Portugal

INESC PORTO is accepting applications to grant fellowships to graduates, to work in the under-mentioned Research project, in the framework of Scientific Research and Technological Development Projects, Co-funded by FEDER and Operational Agenda for Competitiveness Factors Programme of QREN and by FCT.
Project: Kinetic
Funding Entity: FCT (UTAustin/CD/0052/2008 (FCOMP-01-0124-FEDER-011414))
Project duration: from 2009-04-01 to 2011-03-31 (24 months)
Work Area: Computer music, interactive music systems, automatic music generation

Description of the work to be carried out: Make part of the team of the project “Kinetic controller driven adaptive and dynamic music composition systems,” which has as goal the creation of a toolbox for automatic music generation in the Max/MSP programming environment. The generative music algorithms are to be controlled by a ubiquitous kinetic interface such as a commercial game controller or a video camera. This project has as partners the University of Texas at Austin, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences from the New University in Lisbon, YDreams and Casa da Música.

Achieved results of study on courses on bachelor level, master level or comparable level

MAX-lab is a national laboratory for synchrotron radiation science. We currently use three storage rings to produce synchrotron radiation to more than 800 scientists yearly. The laboratory is engaged in a number of development projects with the focus of improved light sources. The MAX IV project provides a completely new accelerator system and beamlines to MAX-lab.

Stored electron beam in a storage ring or the accelerated electron beam in a linear accelerator induces electromagnetic fields in the vacuum chamber where the electron beam is travelling. The electromagnetic fields can be used to detect the position of the electron beam but they may also give rise to unwanted phenomena that dilutes or destabilises the electron beam.

Doctoral Student in Physics, Acceleratorpysics Linear Accelerator and Short Pulses at Max Lab- Sweden ( Departement of Science) For this scholarships candidates should have experience of accelerator physics

PhD student in accelerator physics you will work with development of the technology around linear accelerators and electron guns with focus on the control, compression and diagnostics of the special electron pulses needed for Free Electron Laser (FEL) applications. This is a world of fundamental physics such as electrodynamics, relativity, mechanics and light propagation in an exciting mixture with spear head technology, lab work and new experiments in one of Sweden’s largest research facilities.

The group is today actively working with a test facility for FELs at MAX-lab on the control and optimization of sub pico second long electron pulses. The future work will be more closely related to the development of the short pulse capabilities in the MAX IV project which during the time of the PhD work will go from design to start-up and operation.

For this scholarship knowledge and skills relevant to postgraduate studies within this area

We are opening a position for a PhD student within a project aiming to temporally resolve electron and molecular dynamics using XUV and X-ray laser pulses. The work is to large extent experimental, combining in-house experiments at the Lund High Power Laser Facility using High-Order Harmonics with facility scale experiments at the FLASH XUV free electron laser in Hamburg and the LCLS X-ray free electron laser in Stanford, US.

Scholarship at Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Division of Numerical Analysis at Lund University – Sweden

Phd student position is focused on research within numerical methods for parabolic evolution equations with applications.Within the department we are currently developing new methods for adaptive time-stepping, mainly in combination with finite element methods for space discretisation.Exponential integration and splitting methods have attracted considerable interest recently, and research could focus on both theoretical issues and practical aspects of algorithms and implementations.Collaborative projects with other departments may be included. The position also includes teaching at the undergraduate level.
