The Unit ECN Wind Energy, Netherlands, invites candidates to apply for a Research position in wind energy...
ECN is the largest research centre in the Netherlands in the field of energy and holds a leading international position in the field of wind energy research. A convenient truth: the wind energy sector has been growing exponentially over the last decades and will continue this growth in the next decades as it is the only emission free bulk renewable electricity option that can be implemented in the short term at relatively low cost.
The Unit
The Unit ECN Wind Energy develops knowledge and technology for the wind energy market with a strong focus on offshore. The research program consists of activities in the fields of wind farm development, rotor and wind farm aerodynamics, wind farm operations, and controller design. The unit has approximately 45 employees and has an intermediary position between universities, the wind turbine industry, project developers, and government agencies. ECN has its own test location EWTW (ECN Wind Turbine Test Site Wieringermeer) with various turbines for experimental research and a scaled wind farm for experiments on wake aerodynamics. ECN co-operates closely with international universities and other research institutes and is getting more and more involved in high level industrial support for wind turbine manufacturers, blade manufacturers, and wind farm developers and operators.
The group Wind Energy Systems Development
Activities of the group comprise among others the development of tools and knowledge to optimise the O&M (operation and maintenance) strategies for offshore wind farms. ECN's software for modelling the O&M aspects is being used worldwide by leading project developers and turbine manufacturers. Well known in the industry are the ECN O&M Tool and the Operation and Maintenane Cost Estimator (OMCE). Next to the development of software the group also develops innovative hardware, software and measurement techniques to monitor mechanical loads in blade roots and towers at low costs (the main topics are Fibre Optic Blade Monitoring, FOBM, and the Fleet Leader concept). The results will be used by operators and OEM's to switch from preventive and corrective maintenance to condition based maintenance. The group carries out long term research projects in order to enhance its leading position and applies its knowledge and R&D results to industrial parties with the overall objective to assist these parties in lowering the O&M costs of their offshore wind farms.
The position
Researcher Operation and Maintenance of Offshore Wind Farms
At first instance you will carry out R&D projects for the development of cost modelling software, in close collaboration with industrial parties. Next to that you will get involved in the further development of software and hardware for low cost load monitoring. Later on you will get involved in transferring the R&D results to the market, among others through carrying out advisory work in this area and train customers in the use of the in-house developed software.

University of Lausanne invites candidates to apply for PhD or Postdoctoral positions in Renal Research...
Hypertension is the most common disease in the human population, affecting over 1 billion individuals worldwide, and one of the major treatable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases including stroke, myocardial infarcts, heart and kidney failure. The focus of our research concerns the salt handling by the kidney that critically affects blood pressure. In this context, the mineralocorticoid aldosterone is the main hormone involved in the regulation of sodium homeostasis. In this context, the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN) that includes the distal convoluted tubule (DCT), the connecting tubule (CNT), and the collecting duct (CD), precisely tunes the sodium balance of the blood by regulating transepithelial sodium transport via a number of Na+ transporting proteins, including the thiazide-sensitive Na+,Cl--cotransporter (NCC) in the DCT and the epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) in the DCT/CNT/CD. Research in our laboratory has provided strong in vivo and in vitro evidence that the primary pathways controlling these systems involve both ubiquitylation and phosphorylation.
We are seeking outstanding and highly motivated candidates at the PhD or postdoctoral level within the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology (DPT) of the University in Lausanne, Switzerland. The proposed projects involve novel signaling pathways that control transepithelial sodium transport, affecting both NCC and ENaC. Techniques include the in vivo biochemical and physiological analysis of new, conditional knockout mice models, combined with in vitro experimental approaches (cell biology, molecular biology, and electrophysiology) in various cell lines and/or Xenopus laevis oocytes.
Our laboratory (http://www.unil.ch/dpt) is a member of the Transatlantic Network of Hypertension (http://tnh.bio-med.ch) and the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) in kidney research (http://www.nccr-kidney.ch). The DPT is a dynamic institute with international and interactive groups and with access to world-class facilities. The working languages are English and French. Moreover, Lausanne is a beautiful city on the Lake of Geneva offering excellent opportunities for cultural and outdoor activities.

The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance of the University of Luxembourg has an opening for a Doctoral Candidate (PhD student) in Law (M/F) with a specialisation in European banking and financial law.
The doctoral candidate will be working within the research unit of Law. The doctoral candidate is expected to contribute to research projects in the area of European Business Law.
The doctoral candidate’s main task will consist in contributing to the research within the research unit in Law and preparing a doctoral thesis in the field of banking and financial law or business law, under the direction of Professor André Prüm. The thesis has to be done at the University of Luxembourg but can be part of a joint supervision with another university. Contribute to the teaching at the rate of one or three hours per week of small group teaching and tutorials. Assist Professor André Prüm in the preparation of his research, conference and teaching activities.
We offer personal work space at the University (full-time contract requires the assistant to work on the University premises).
Luxembourg is the headquarters of many European institutions, such as the European Court of Justice and the European Investment Bank, and is renowned for its international financial centre. Naturally, the University of Luxembourg makes use of these connections: about five hundred financial experts, legal experts and other practitioners support our professors in their teaching. The alumni and the research projects the university completes in turn benefit EU institutions, the financial centre and Luxembourg itself as an economic location with an attractive job market – a fruitful cooperation.
