two 36-months research positions in Pattern Recognition, information Mining & Statistical Machine Learning are open at (1) the Machine Learning Group, University of Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve (http://www.ucl.ac.be/mlg), & (2) the IRIDIA Laboratory, University of Brussels (http://code.ulb.ac.be/iridia.home.php), Belgium.
Position description
Applications are invited for two full-time research positions beginning in February 2011 at the (1) Machine Learning Group, Université de Louvain (UCL) & (2) IRIDIA Laboratory, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Belgium. The researchers will fundamentally work with Prof. Marco Saerens (to have an idea about the covered research topics, see http://scholar.google.be/scholar?q=m+saerens), Operations & Information Department, Louvain School of Management, Louvain, & Prof. Hugues Bersini, IRIDIA Laboratory, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Brussels (http://code.ulb.ac.be/iridia.home.php). Marco Saerens (marco.saerens@uclouvain.be) is the coordinator of the project.
Applications are invited for a Ph. D. position in the Soil Science Group (Prof. Wilcke) of the Geographic Institute, University of Berne, Switzerland (/giub/live/research/soil.htmlhttp://www.geography.unibe.ch/lenya).
The position is fully funded for three years by the Swiss National Science Foundation. Oxygenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) are known to be more mobile and some are more toxic than their parent PAHs and are therefore a subject of current research interest. The overall aim of the project is to better understand the concentrations, sources and fate of OPAHs in soil. Specific objectives of this project include; (1) further development of an existing analytical method to measure OPAHs in soil, (2) application of the method to screen several background and contaminated soils and to study the fate of these compounds in soil (3) investigate the sources (combustion vs. post-emission transformation) of these compounds with the help of compound specific is otope analysis and finally (4) to study the degradation kinetics of PAHs and the carbon and hydrogen stable isotope fractionation during chemical and biological degradation. The project will be realized in close collaboration with a postdoctoral fellow.

VIPS offers new international PostDocs a 3 to 5 year long post-doctoral training at the MFPL with the specific aim of preparing them for a career as principal investigators. To increase the chances for success and the establishment of their own research groups, the VIPS PostDocs will be encouraged to develop their own research topics and apply for independent grants in the second half of their training. During the final phase of their training, VIPS PostDocs will be supported as they apply for group leader positions outside the MFPL.
