HATS is a new Integrated Project funded by the European Union, within the programme "Future and Emerging Technologies" (FET) of the 7th Framework
Programme (subject to contract) starting March 2009. The project partners from Chalmers Technical University, Gothenborg, Swede,

University of Oslo, Norway, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden,
Technical University of Madrid, Spain
IMDEA Software, Spain
Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany,
University of Bologna, Italy,
Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI), Amsterdam, Netherlands
Norwegian Computer Center, Oslo, Norway
Fredhopper B.V., Amsterdam, Netherlands
Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental SE, Kaiserslautern, Germany,
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
are jointly advertising several 3-5 year PhD, PostDoc, and Engineering
positions.

The goal of HATS is a tool-supported framework and formal methodology
for the development of long-lived and trustworthy software systems.
Specifically, HATS will turn software product family (SWPF) development
into a rigorous approach. The technical core of the project is an Abstract
Behavioral Specification language which will allow precise description
of SWPF features and components and their instances. For further
information see:

http://www.hats- project.eu

Topic areas: Applicants should have a background and/or interest in
one of the topics software modeling, modeling and programming
languages, formal methods, verification, language-based security, type
systems, or concurrency theory.

The following positions are offered:

2 PhD positions with emphasis on formal modeling and verification at Chalmers University of Technology. One of the positions is in the EU project CHARTER which is closely related to HATS. Application deadline is 9th February 2009. Contact: Prof. Reiner Haehnle. Further details and information on how to apply at

We are glad to offers you the possibility to join our European Master Program of Computational Logic. This program is offered jointly at the Free-University of Bozen-Bolzano in Italy, the Technische Universität Dresden in Germany, the Universidade Nova de Lisboa in Portugal, the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid in Spain and the Technische Universität Wien in Austria. Within this program you have the choice to study at two of the five European universities. You will graduate with a MSc in Computer Science from each of the two universities you have selected. Information on the universities and the program including the application form are provided here:

http://european.computational-logic.org

Language of instruction is English. Tuition fees are 3.000 EUR per year.

We would like to draw your attention to the ERASMUS-MUNDUS scholarship program. The ERASMUS-MUNDUS consortium offers 2-year scholarships of 42.000 EUR for non-EU students in our European Master Program in Computational Logic. EU-students may apply for a three-month scholarship of 3100 EUR for doing their project at NICTA in Australia.

Application deadline is February 10, 2009. Online-applications (pdf-files, ONLY) are possible and must contain:
# Application form
# Curriculum Vitae
# Reports on university examinations (transcripts) and diploma (first degree or bachelor degree). If the bachelor degree will only be available after the deadline, students are required to send us a PRELIMINARY certificate.

Quantifying the associations between diabetes and cancer incidence and mortality

Obesity, which has doubled since 1993, increases the risk of several cancers. Diabetes, itself increased by obesity, has been linked with some cancers but evidence is sparse. Diabetes UK has funded a three-year studentship to assess the relationship between diabetes (both diagnosed disease and raised blood sugar) with cancer incidence and mortality, using one of the world’s largest datasets of health examination surveys of nationally-represen tative samples, linked to mortality and cancer registry data (Health surveys for England and Scottish Health Surveys). The planned interdisciplinary supervisory panel will be Drs Mindell and Shelton with Profs Marmot and Hochhauser.

Applications are invited from graduates in appropriate subjects or with related experience who have a strong interest in public health and epidemiology. Applicants should have (or expect to obtain) a first or upper second class degree. An MSc in a relevant subject would be an advantage. Expressions of interest are invited and should be addressed to Dr Jennifer Mindell (j.mindell@ucl. ac.uk).

This studentship will be housed within the Health and Social Surveys Research Group in the Research Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, within the Division of Population Health. There are about 45 PhD students currently working in the Department. The Division offers a unique environment to those wishing to undertake interdisciplinary study and gain exposure to research within departments pursuing a highly acclaimed international research agenda. The Division houses five Research Departments, namely the Centre for Health Informatics and Multi-professional Education, Epidemiology and Public Health, Primary Care and Population Health, Mental Health Sciences, and Infection and Population Health.

Eligibility: This opening is for a three-year Diabetes UK research studentship. Diabetes UK studentships cover EU fees only. Applications from EU and overseas students are encouraged as, subject to a separate application process (deadline 1/3/09), alternative UCL Graduate Scholarships could cover overseas fees.
The studentship will cover EU fees and full stipend for three years. The stipend for 2009/10 is £15,000 pa, rising to £15,500 in year two and £16,000 in year three.

Applications: Applications should include a CV and a statement of research experience and interests and must include a clear indication of your likely fee status. Electronic submissions are preferred. Please include a contact telephone number and an email address. Applications should be addressed to: Ms Floriana Bortolotti, Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University College London, 1-19 Torrington Place, London WC1E 6BT (f.bortolotti@ ucl.ac.uk).

If you wish to discuss the topic please contact Dr Jennifer Mindell (j.mindell@ucl. ac.uk). If you wish to know about the research environment or have general questions on studying at UCL please contact the Graduate Tutors, Dr Yvonne Kelly (020 7679 5638, y.kelly@ucl. ac.uk) or Professor Richard Watt (r.watt@ucl.ac. uk, 020 7679 1699).

Application deadline: Midday Wednesday 4th February 2009. Interviews are likely to be held in the week of 9th February, with candidates contacted immediately after the application deadline. Potential applicants are encouraged to attend the Departmental Graduate Recruitment Open Day on 27th January 2009: full details on http://www.ucl. ac.uk/epidemiolo gy/students/ index.htm.
