The overall aim of the PhD project is to understand how consumers make choices and what factors that drives peoples preferences. This is vital for designing policies that are effective, acceptable, and feasible. The focus of this project is on household preferences concerning energy sources and demand for energy, both for electricity and transportation. Preferences may be both time variant, as well as context variant. That is, over time consumer preferences may change as a result of changes in social norms through the whole society. The research here will focus on changes in consumer choice both over time and between different types of consumers by adopting two different approaches on energy demand. In particular, two issues will be investigated: 1. preference stability and the value of 'green energy” in a multi-country setting 2. preference heterogeneity and the value of “green energy” in a multi-country setting The data-analysis will be based on two substantial surveys organized and developed by the OECD in 2008 and 2011. In addressing both questions, there are econometric challenges, and one aim of this project is to develop/adapt methods to address these challenges. The PhD candidate will work in a larger research environment specialized in different aspects of environmental and resource economics. The research group consists of researchers in economics, environmental economics and economic history. The candidate will be linked to the Centre for Environmental and Resource Economics (www.cere.se) with currently approximately 30 researchers employed by Umeå University or the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The Centre is hosted at the department of economics, Umeå School of Business and Economics, Umeå University (www.econ.umu.se).

The material properties of the lithosphere are dependent on this composition as well as pre-existing weaknesses in the material. Complicating the matter further, the rifted part of the continental is usually underneath signicant amounts of water and sediment, perhaps several kilometers. In only two places in the world can these rift flanks be seen on the surface of the planet: Iceland and the East African rift. In the case of Iceland however, the rift occurs through uplifted oceanic crust, while in the African rift system the rift occurs through the African continent. In earlier times, such as the breakup of Pangea, these rifts would have appeared all through the supercontinent seperating it into the continents we know today. Thus, studying the rift allows us to see back in time and look at the early formation of basins along the rift, analogues to the rich oil-bearing basins around the Atlantic for example. The aim is to model rift formation, particularly in the early period, replicating features observed in basins along the East African Rift. http://www.universitypositions.eu/available-jobs/norway/simula-research-laboratory/call-for-a-phd-in-computational-geodynamics/34363#66689 http://www.universitypositions.eu/available-jobs/norway/simula-research-laboratory/call-for-a-phd-in-computational-geodynamics/34363#66689 Mon, 07 May 2012 07:26:13 +0000 The PhD projects will be conducted in partnership with SES (www.ses.com), a leading-edge satellite operator offering worldwide services and headquartered in Luxembourg. http://www.universitypositions.eu/available-jobs/luxembourg/the-university-of-luxembourg/phd-positions-in-signal-processing-for-wireless-communications-m-f-/34347#66664 http://www.universitypositions.eu/available-jobs/luxembourg/the-university-of-luxembourg/phd-positions-in-signal-processing-for-wireless-communications-m-f-/34347#66664 Mon, 07 May 2012 06:37:41 +0000 The Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (www.ee.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for a tenured professorship or tenure-track assistant professorship in Advanced Mechatronic Systems.

This project examines the impact of increased penetration of renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar power on the design of the electricity market. With large amounts of variable renewable energy the flows in the network will vary more which means that the structure of pricing in the market will change. The question is then what the impact is from different ways of designing the market. http://www.universitypositions.eu/available-jobs/sweden/stockholms-lan/stockholms-kommun/stockholm/kungliga-tekniska-hogskolan-kth/-two-phd-positions-in-electric-power-systems-/32698#64168 http://www.universitypositions.eu/available-jobs/sweden/stockholms-lan/stockholms-kommun/stockholm/kungliga-tekniska-hogskolan-kth/-two-phd-positions-in-electric-power-systems-/32698#64168 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 06:01:02 +0000 We are now looking for a PhD candidate in Electric Power Systems, project title: Impact of increased renewable energy sources penetration on power system inertia and stability. This project examines the impact of increased penetration of renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar power on power system inertia and stability. These kind of generating units are normally operating based on power electronic technology, and they have controls that effectively reduce the system inertial response. As a result, transient stability and the overall frequency response may be affected. http://www.universitypositions.eu/available-jobs/sweden/stockholms-lan/stockholms-kommun/stockholm/kungliga-tekniska-hogskolan-kth/-phd-position-in-electric-power-systems/32697#64162 http://www.universitypositions.eu/available-jobs/sweden/stockholms-lan/stockholms-kommun/stockholm/kungliga-tekniska-hogskolan-kth/-phd-position-in-electric-power-systems/32697#64162 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 06:01:02 +0000 The duties of a senior lecturer may include teaching, in both Swedish and English, at any level.
