PhD 1: Combining evidence in legal (forensic) casework

Forensic Statistics has significantly improved logical probabilistic reasoning in forensic evidence interpretation. This has enabled forensic scientists to report the evidential value in a numerical way, regarding source-questions like “whoseDNA is in the sample?”. Important challenges now lie in reporting the value of the combined findings, and addressing activity-questions like “how did theDNA get there?” The methodology that has been developed for forensic evidence can be extended to other types of evidence and reasoning used in court.

The aim of the project is to improve logical probabilistic reasoning both in forensic science and in court. An important tool is the use of Bayesian networks. The project is part of the forensic science program of the Dutch science organisation NWO and is interdisciplinary in nature. Project participants are located at the KdVI at UvA, the department of Mathematics of the VU-University in Amsterdam, the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI), the Supreme Court of the Netherlands, and at the department of Criminal Law and Criminology of the University of Groningen.

PhD 2 Forensic Face Recognition
This PhD research in Forensic Statistics aims at developing statistical techniques to determine the evidential value of Forensic Face Recognition. When comparing a facial image from a crime scene with a police photograph, forensic experts pay attention to morphologic-anthropologic features, following a prescribed protocol. Biometric face recognition is an automated process, for example used in access control. It does not use morphologic-anthropologic features, but extracts and compares abstract features, resulting in a quantitative similarity score.

The PhD research is embedded in an NWO-project that combines the fields of forensic face comparison and biometric face recognition in order to develop a (partially) automated system for forensic facial comparison that quantifies the evidential value thus supporting the court to make an objective decision. The participants in this NWO-project are located at the Korteweg-de Vries Institute of the UvA, the department of Electrical Engineering of the University of Twente, and the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI). Innovative research on the statistical issues within this project is the task of the PhD student we are looking for.

Requirements PhD 1:

We are looking for a candidate with an interest in applied statistics and probability, and in the legal domain. Candidates should have a Master’s degree in pure or applied mathematics, or in applied statistics, e.g. econometrics, chemometrics, psychometrics, biometrics. Fluent English is a prerequisite, fluent Dutch is a plus.

Requirements PhD 2:
The PhD candidate should be interested in applied and mathematical statistics, in biometrics, and in the legal domain. The candidate should have a Master’s degree in mathematics, in statistics, or in a field like biometrics, econometrics, or psychometrics.

The full-time appointment will be on a temporary basis for a maximum period of four years (18 months plus a further 30 months after a positive evaluation) and should lead to a dissertation (PhD thesis). An educational plan will be drafted that includes attendance of courses and (international) meetings. The successful applicant will be working under the supervision of prof. dr. M. Sjerps at UvA / NFI and of prof. dr. R. Meester at VU. (PhD 1); prof. dr Chris A.J. Klaassen (UvA) in collaboration with dr ir Raymond Veldhuis (UT) and dr Arnout Ruifrok (NFI) (PhD 2).

The gross monthly salary will range from € 2,042 in the first year to € 2,612 in the final year, according to the Dutch salary scales for PhD students. The annual salary will be increased by 8 % holiday allowance and 8.3 % end-of-year bonus. The Collective Labour Agreement  Dutch Universities (CAO) is applicable.

Moving to the EU? Good advice is now just a few clicks away

Brussels, 18 November 2011 – Where do you apply for a German work permit? Does an Indian citizen need a residence permit to study in Spain? And if you have been exploited for work, who can you call for support?

Today, the European Commissioner for Home Affairs, Cecilia Malmström, launched the 'EU Immigration Portal', a website with hands-on information for foreign nationals interested in moving to the EU. The site, ec.europa.eu/immigration , is also directed at migrants who are already here and would like to move from one Member State to another. It provides specific information for each category of migrants about migration procedures in all 27 Member States.

Commissioner Malmström said: "Many people who want to move to the European Union do not know what possibilities exist, how to apply for a resident permit or the risks related to irregular migration. And migrants who are already in the EU are not always aware of their rights. We need to provide solid, easily accessible information about these sometimes complicated procedures."

Background

The EU Immigration Portal is a first point of entry for up-to-date, practical information on EU and national immigration procedures and policies. Workers, researchers, students and those looking to join their families already in the EU can find information adapted to their needs, about the Member State they are interested in moving to. The Portal also links directly to the websites of national authorities dealing with immigration. Users can also find straightforward information about their rights and whether they need a visa to come to the EU.

The EU Immigration Portal explains how to enter EU borders legally and describes the risks related to irregular migration, such as trafficking and smuggling. Migrants and potential migrants will also find a vast contact directory of governmental and non-governmental organisations which can help them. Moreover, migrants' support organisations, as well as immigration authorities, employment services and scholars, can also make use of the in-depth information accessible through the website.

The EU Immigration Portal is available in English and French at http://ec.europa.eu/immigration/

Arabic and Spanish versions of the site are underway, as are improvements to make it more accessible from different technical platforms.

In the development of the EU Immigration portal, the Commission carried out a broad consultation process, including organisations supporting migrants, trade-unions, employers' associations and faith-based groups from the countries of origin, transit and destination. These consultations have taken place in Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain and Mali.

20.1 million people in the EU are citizens of third countries, representing around 4% of the total EU population.

In 2010, EU Member States and the countries participating in the Schengen cooperation issued over 11 million visas.

The estimated number of people trafficked to or within the EU amounts to several hundred thousand every year.
