In the Water Engineering and Management Department of the Cluster of Civil Engineering a vacancy exists for a PhD student. 

Background: Research of the Water Engineering and Management group aims at developing knowledge of large natural water systems with the goals to develop instruments for the analysis of water management problems and to find solutions for these problems. Recently, a large research grant was awarded for a research project aimed at the improvement of sand transport models, which are to be applied for the management of shallow seas and the coast. More specifically the project focuses on sand that is transported by short waves in the landward or seaward direction (cross-shore transport), a sand transport component which is of  great importance to coastal erosion and  accretion.  This project will involve close collaboration between 3 postdoctoral researchers and a PhD student based at the Universities of Aberdeen, Liverpool and Twente. 

Project description and allocation of tasks: The PhD research will be aimed at the development of a model for sand transport under breaking waves. During the breaking process of waves near the beach large quantities of sand are stirred up from the sea bed and transported. The detailed dynamics of this transport process, which takes place near the sea bed (bed-load) as well as higher in the water column (suspended-load), are still relatively unknown and quantitative transport models for breaking waves are therefore still unreliable.      

The PhD student will approach the research problem by:

-          Acquiring  insight into the dynamics and in the modeling of fluid flow and sand fluxes induced by wave breaking, using existing literature, models and measurements.

-          Conducting laboratory experiments with breaking waves in the large wave channel at the Technical University of Catalonia in Barcelona; in this unique laboratory facility waves and the sand transport process can be simulated close to full scale. For the duration of the project (4 years) three series of experiments are planned, each spanning two months.

-          Contributing to the development of a new sand transport model, that can be implemented in morphological modeling systems for practical problems in the marine coastal environment. All researchers in the project will contribute to this model development, which will be carried out in close collaboration with the involved Dutch and English agencies (the ‘Users’ of the transport model).        

Projectmeetings will be organized two times per year; meeting venues will rotate between Twente, Aberdeen and Barcelona.

Functie-eisen

We are looking for an enthusiastic PhD student with knowledge of or strong affinity with fluid mechanics and transport processes, experimental research, and coastal sediment dynamics. The candidate should have a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, (Geo)Physics, Physical Geography or a closely related area. Further, we find it important that the researcher is able to set his or her research in a broader perspective (internationally) and that he or she will be able to coordinate this with the involved parties. Therefore, we are looking for people with an open mind, strong communicative qualities and excellent comprehension of English, both in spoken language and in writing. Comprehension of the Dutch language is beneficial.

Information and applications: For more information about this vacancy you can contact dr.ir. Jan S. Ribberink, telephone             +31 53 489 2767       (email: j.s.ribberink@utwente.nl). More information is available atwww.wem.ctw.utwente.nl (about the Water Engineering and Management Department). The start of the project is planned around February or March 2012. 
Your written application, with a CV, academic record (including a list of courses with marks), the names and addresses of two references and, if applicable, a list of publications should be sent before the 6^th of January 2012 through the following  application link.

Arbeidsvoorwaarden

Parliament backs changes to 30% ruling, set salary and time limits

MPs have voted in favour of changes to the 30% tax ruling for expats, bringing in a minimum salary and cutting the duration to eight years.

However, the new regulations are less severe than originally planned. Expats must now earn a basic salary of €50,000 (including the tax break) to qualify, rather than the €70,000 originally planned.

In addition, there will be no salary minimum for academic staff and researchers, and a new category of ‘young masters’ will be created for the under-30s who earn at least €38,000 (including the tax break).

No change for most

Ton Krol, of tax consultancy Blue Clue Tax says young people at the start of their career and those on a job rotation system within multinationals will be worst affected.

‘This will make it more difficult to attract new staff because talented people who are willing to move can work everywhere. Why work in the Netherlands if your net income can be twice as much somewhere else?’ he said.

In order to pay for the shortfall in expected tax income, the government has cut the duration of the tax break from 10 to eight years.

Distance

However, no changes have been made to the proposed 150 km requirement – which means expats must have lived at least 150 km from the Dutch border to qualify.

‘This means residents of Belgium who are working in the Netherlands will be severely hit,’ says Arjan Enneman, managing director of tax specialists Expatax.

‘The same applies to Germans who live close to the border. You have to ask if this will stand up in court, even though the minister says this is allowed under EU regulations,' he said. 'But what about the expat who temporarily worked in Belgium before he is seconded to the Netherlands?’

Prize-winning author fails Dutch integration test

A writer who last month won the EU’s literature prize on behalf of the Netherlands has failed his citizenship test and now has to go through a complete integration course, NRC.next reports.
Rodaan Al Galidi came to the Netherlands in 1998 as a refugee from Iraq and was allowed to take the fast-track test to prove he had mastered all aspects of Dutch society.

The writer got 70% of the 30 questions right but should have scored 74% to pass.

Van Gogh

‘There were no questions about Van Gogh, the Nightwatch, windmills, the canals or Sint Maarten but questions such as ‘Mo lives on social security and wants to take his son to a crèche. Who has to pay?’, Al Galidi told the paper.

The questions were illustrated by short films featuring Mo and Amal. ‘To be fair, I think half the country would be embarrassed if they could see the films, and I don’t know what Moroccan nationals would think.’

There were also questions that only a woman could answer, Al Galidi said. ‘I don’t know when a woman has her periods again after a miscarriage because I have never been pregnant,’ he said.

The test was supposed to take 45 minutes to complete. 'I had to wait nine years in a refugee centre to prove I was a refugee,' Al Galidi is quoted as saying. 'And then I get 45 minutes to prove I am a good citizen? Bit of a shame that.'

PhD researchers (4 positions) at Tilburg Graduate Law School

The Tilburg Graduate Law School (TGLS) of Tilburg Law School is committed to training top law students from around the globe whose academic work helps to solve today's societal problems, to address new legal challenges and to become excellent researchers. TGLS is now offering 4 positions.

The Tilburg Graduate Law School (TGLS) of Tilburg Law School is committed to training top law students from around the globe whose academic work helps to solve today's societal problems, to address new legal challenges and to become excellent researchers. The mandate of the TGLS is to ensure and monitor the overall quality of the Research Master and PhD program. As such, the TGLS is responsible for the training and guidance of its Research Master students and of the PhD researchers. TGLS is now offering 4 positions.

The research mission of Tilburg Law School is to understand and improve the role of law in tackling societal problems now and in the future, particularly those connected with globalization and rapid economic, social, cultural and technological change. The research of Tilburg Law School is conducted in an organization that fosters diversity. In addition to jurists, international and national researchers from other disciplines, including economics, psychology, ethics and philosophy participate in the various research programs. Although they are uncommon in the field of legal research, we are convinced that internationalization and interdisciplinarity have become permanent characteristics of the study of law, because they

- hold the answers that legal science discipline can give to the questions raised by the changing context in which we live. European integration, the global economy, the multicultural society and the ever-increasing role of non-state actors are putting pressure on the dominant role of the nation-state and national law.

- are crucial factors in the process of the scientification of the law – a process in which Tilburg plays a pioneering role. Although law is much less of a universally integrated academic discipline than, for instance, economics, significant strides have been taken over the years, first towards internationalization, and now towards interdisciplinarity.

- afford new opportunities to make our academic activities relevant in the public debate.

Your profile

You are an outstanding student, who has an excellent command of English and who has completed a Master in Law or a Master in relating multidisciplinary fields like Law and Economics, Law and Technology, Law and Labour Law, Politics and Public Administration or Victimology. Research Master’s program students are especially encouraged to apply.

Tilburg University is rated among the top of Dutch employers and has excellent terms of employment. The selected candidates will initially be appointed for 16 months. Upon positive evaluation after one year, the contract will be extended up to three years and 2 months.

Selected candidates will be ranked in the Dutch university employment system (UFO). The starting gross salary is € 2042,- per month (for a full-time appointment) based on the PhD salary scale of the Collective Labour Agreement (CAO) Dutch Universities.

Researchers from outside the Netherlands may qualify for a tax-free allowance equal to 30% of their taxable salary. The university will apply for such an allowance on their behalf. The Faculty will provide assistance in finding suitable accommodation. The university offers very good fringe benefits (it is one of the best non-profit employers in the Netherlands), such as an options model for terms and conditions of employment and excellent reimbursement of moving expenses.

The selected candidates will initially be appointed for 16 months. Upon positive evaluation after one year, the contract will be extended up to three years and 2 months.
