PhD Scholarships at the IT University of Copenhagen
The IT University of Copenhagen (ITU) invites applicants for 6 PhD scholarships starting spring 2007. The vacant PhD scholarships are within the following research areas: Location based systems, interaction design and mobile computing, Scalable and Reliable Query Evaluation in Database Systems, Mini-Grid project and Activity-based computing (ABC) project.
One scholarship within Location based systems, interaction design and mobile computing ref. no. 225-0022: The PhD research will be conducted within a specific project that aims at deployment of location based services in indoor public places.
The successful applicant will be an excellent student capable of conducting research under supervision at the highest international level. Applicants are expected to have a solid background in a relevant field such as Computer Science, Engineering, Social Sciences or the Humanities. In the evaluation of the applications emphasis will especially be put on grade average and the ability to make a realistic and interesting project proposal.
For more information on this project you may contact associate Professor Lone Malmborg or Associate Professor John Paulin Hansen.
One scholarship within Scalable and Reliable Query Evaluation in Database Systems ref. no. 225-0023: The PhD research will be conducted within a specific project that aims at broadening the use of relational databases by improving their scalability. The research will focus on optimizing key operations in relational database systems in particular the join operation.
The successful applicant will be an excellent student capable of conducting research under supervision at the highest international level. Applicants are expected to have an MSc in computer science, engineering or similar and a solid background in algorithms. A good background in database systems and algorithms for massive data sets is an advantage. The PhD scholarship runs for a period of three years. In the evaluation of the applications emphasis will especially be put on grade average, prior academic performance and the ability to make a realistic and promising work for the project.
For more information on this project you may contact Associate Professor Rasmus Pagh.
Two scholarships within the Mini-Grid project ref. no. 225-0024: The scholarships are within the area of software architectures, ubiquitous computing systems, interaction design and collaborative computing. The goal of this project is to design a collaborative, peer-to-peer software architecture for distributed bioinformatics algorithms, which can be used to support biologists working with laboratory-based and theoretical molecular biological research into RNA-based diseases like HIV, SARS and bird flu.
The project Peer-to-Peer Architectures for distributed bioinformatics algorithms specifically aim to create a software architecture which enables a P2P distribution of computational tasks on unstable, end-user computers while exploiting more robust servers, if available. Specifically, research will be done within adaptable software architecture and contingency management.
The project Collaborative user-interface technologies for biology work will focus on the design and implementation of user interface technologies for ad hoc, peer-to-peer collaboration which enables users to engage in loosely coupled groups of collaborators who can share (biological) data and distribute computation amongst them. This technology will address the design of user interface technology for peer discovery, data sharing, computational sharing, activity awareness, workflow management, and physical-digital linkage between biological material and digital representations and computation.
The successful applicant will be an excellent student capable of conducting research under supervision at the highest international level. Applicants are expected to have a solid background in a relevant field such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, or within Information and Media Sciences. In the evaluation of the applications emphasis will especially be put on grade average and demonstrated skills in the design, implementation, and evaluation of non-trivial software systems within the two areas above. Some knowledge within bioinformatics is useful, but not a requirement.
For more information contact Professor Jakob E. Bardram.
Two Scholarships within the Activity-based computing (ABC) project ref. no. 225-0021: The scholarships are within the area of software architectures, ubiquitous computing systems, interaction design and collaborative computing.
The project Activity-based computing for the World-Wide Web will research on how the current activity-based computing service architecture can be integrated and enhance the World Wide Web (WWW) architecture and how activity-based computing user-interfaces can be created using new web technologies. Special focus is on the integration and interoperability on the desktop using WWW standards like ATOM and Ajax.
The project Collaborative user-interface technologies for activity-based computing will research the design, implementation, and evaluation of collaborative activity-based computing user-interfaces for e.g. medical conferences and co-located collaboration in operating rooms. Focus is especially on the design of user-interface technologies for new types of hardware technologies like embedded, interactive displays, sensor systems, fine-grained location tracking, RFID tagging, image recognition, and large wall-based and table-based interactive surfaces.
The successful applicant will be an excellent student capable of conducting research under supervision at the highest international level. Applicants are expected to have a solid background in a relevant field such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, or within Information and Media Sciences. In the evaluation of the applications emphasis will especially be put on grade average and demonstrated skills in the design, implementation, and evaluation of non-trivial software systems within the two areas above.

Generel information: The PhD scholarships run for a period of three or four years depending on the educational level of the student. A three-year scholarship can only be awarded to applicants with a Masters degree equivalent to a Danish graduate degree. Students with the equivalence of 4 years of university studies - where one year (60 ECTS) is transferable to one of the Master of IT programs at ITU - can be awarded a four-year scholarship.
Appointment and salary will be in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). Applicants must document that they will be able to fulfill the admission requirements before entering the PhD program.
Applications are preferred in English, though Danish would be accepted. It is the responsibility of the applicant that documentation such as diplomas or recommendations are either in English or Danish.
The application must include: Completed application form available on our website: www1.itu.dk/sw38325.asp Letter of motivation Project description (see guidelines on our website) Documentation of previous studies; diplomas etc. Brief CV Copies of theses or up to 3 selected publications and a numbered list of all publications if any Applications for the scholarships in Mini Grid and Activity based computing must also contain a list of software system implemented specifying details on architectures, programming languages and involved technologies All application material, including all enclosures (see above points 1-7), must be assembled in a manner that makes it easy to copy, i.e. A4 format and unstapled.
The application in 1 copy including enclosures marked with the above mentioned ref. no. must be submitted to:
IT-Universitetet i København Att.: Journalen Rued Langgaards Vej 7 2300 KBH. S. Denmark
You may also submit your application electronically (one file per person) in pdf-format to journalen. Please note that applications sent to any other email address will not be taken into consideration.
Application at 12.00 noon.
