Vacancy: PhD researchers (5) positions) at Tilburg Graduate Law School 1. 0 fte

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 five 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.

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.

The human face is an intriguing human trait that has an important role in almost every aspect of life including disease. Both biological and environmental factors contribute to normal and pathological variation of the human face. In this project, new bioinformatics methodology will be developed to automatically extract anatomic features from facial 3D data. Using modern statistical techniques, these data will be used to answer clinical and basic science questions. These questions include discrimination of certain conditions or the quantification of the influence of environmental and/or genetic factors on facial development. This project combines exciting aspects of computer vision, modern bioinformatics and statistical techniques in a close embedding with life sciences and clinical practice. This project will build upon existing research experiences in facial phenotyping and its biological determinants. A recent publication can be found at: www.plosgenetics.org/[...].

Job description

Hyperthermia is the application of elevated temperatures (41-45°C) to tumour tissue and is applied in combination with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy to improve tumour control. Hyperthermia can be administered before, during or after radiotherapy/chemotherapy. The sensitizing effect of hyperthermia depends on both the realized tumor temperatures and the order of application. In the hyperthermia community there is no univocal policy about the sequence of radiotherapy and hyperthermia and different institutes apply different treatment schemes. This research project “Towards biological treatment planning in radiotherapy combined with hyperthermia to improve clinical outcome” aims to find the optimal order of application of radiotherapy and hyperthermia and thereby further improve the effectiveness of clinical hyperthermia. This will be investigated using sophisticated treatment planning computer models, in which the combined effect of hyperthermia and radiotherapy is modeled. For accurate modeling knowledge about biological tissue parameters is necessary, which will be obtained from cell line and animal experiments for combined treatments with radiotherapy and hyperthermia.

Requirements

For this project we have vacancies for two highly motivated PhD candidates. One of them will carry out the cell line and animal experiments and the other candidate will perform the computer modeling part of the project. Candidate 1 should have an MSc degree in (medical) biology or a related background. The candidate should have good command of English. Excellent communicative skills and the ability to work within a multidisciplinary research group are essential. The research will involve in vitro and animal experiments. Candidate 2 should have an MSc degree in physics or a related background. The candidate should have good command of English. Excellent communicative skills and the ability to work within a multidisciplinary research group are essential. Programming experience in C/C++ is recommended.

Conditions of employment

We offer a salary in line with the Collective Labour Agreement for University Medical Centres in the Netherlands (CAO UMC) with a range of added fringe benefits, such as an annual bonus of 8.3 %, holiday allowance, collective discounted rates for a number of insurances, an attractive bicycle scheme and/or public transport allowance and free parking!
The PhD candidates will be appointed in a full-time position (36 hours/week) for a period of four years and at the end each PhD candidate should have completed his/her PhD thesis. Gross monthly salary for PhD candidates range from € 2.141,- gross per month in the first year up to € 2.743,- gross per month in the fourth year.

Job description

Many real-world applications are complex and distributed in nature in that they involve a multitude of independent decision makers who attempt to achieve their own goals. It is well-known that strategic choices often result in outcomes that are inefficient for the society as a whole. Algorithmic game theory has shed new light on various aspects of such situations of strategic interaction. However, most studies assume that the decision makers correspond to “isolated" entities who make their choices based on purely selfish incitements. This assumption is overly simplistic: Decision makers are often motivated by other-regarding preferences such as altruism, spite or fairness and typically exhibit complex social relationships. The goal of the project is to gain an accurate understanding of such social interactions in games.
Relevant research aspects of the PhD project include (but are not limited to) inefficiency of equilibria, complexity of games, algorithmic mechanism design, etc.
The PhD candidate will be given the possibility to pursue part of her/his studies abroad, to attend international doctoral schools, conferences and workshops, and to participate in the national PhD programme organized by the LNMB (Dutch Network on the Mathematics of Operations Research).

Requirements

The PhD candidate is required to have a master's degree in mathematics or computer science and should have an excellent background in combinatorial optimization and algorithms. Ideally, the candidate has already worked in the area of algorithmic game theory and demonstrated the ability to pursue independent research. Candidates are expected to have an excellent command of English, and good academic writing and presentation skills.

Conditions of employment

The terms of employment are in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labor Agreement for Research Institutes ("CAO-onderzoeksinstellingen"). Moreover CWI offers attractive working conditions, including flexible scheduling and help with housing for expat employees. CWI also offers excellent and flexible terms of employment, including an employee pension fund.
The gross monthly salary, for an employee on a full time basis, is €2,057 during the first year and increases to €2,636 over the four year period. Expats may apply for a profitable tax ruling, which, if approved by the tax authorities, would mean not having to pay taxes over 30% of your income.

Contract type: Temporary, 4 years.

Organisation

Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI)
