Job description
Project
The project focuses on research of a new cutting machine for cutting silicium with laser beams. The project is a cooperation between the University of Twente, Philips, TNO, CCM, Sioux, ALSI and VDL. The research of the group is mainly aimed at the possibilities of ultra short laser pulses. The ALISS project will develop the necessary technologies to make internal modification by multiple laser beams an enabling technology for the use of very thin and lowk wafers. As such the project will deliver a breadboard environment that will show that laser dicing is possible and that the technology can be transferred to an industrial production environment. The required laser and breaking processes will be developed as well as pre-prototypes for the execution of the processes
The ALISS project will show that material modification in semiconductor material can be effectively done with a multi-beam approach. This is essential as this unique feature will have a one on one relation with the productivity of the final system. Current approaches only use single beams and need to process dicing streets several times. The possibility to align dicing streets on the dice in stead of on the global wafer markers will make the ALISS concept robust to cope with the developments in assembly.

PhD Behavioural needs and preferences of veal calves in relation to feeding and effects of different
Posted by:
Wageningen University and Research Centre (Wageningen UR)
Job description
Traditionally veal calves were fattened on a diet exclusively consisting of milk replacer. Calves fed in this manner consistently showed a range of serious behavioural and health problems. To improve the welfare of veal calves, provision of some solid feed is compulsory in the European Union since 1997. Nevertheless, abnormal behaviour is still occurring and health problems related to impaired rumen development, milk replacer leaking into the rumen, and abomasal lesions remain predominant. Until now, feeding strategies for veal calves were based mainly on nutritional and commercial considerations, and legislation. To optimize feeding strategies from an animals perspective, fundamental knowledge is required about behavioural needs and dietary preferences.
This PhD project aims to develop novel roughage-based feeding strategies for veal calves that respond better to their behavioural needs. Experiments will be conducted to assess feed preferences and determine effects of free feed selection of feed components on behaviour, health and performance. Furthermore, effects of different feeding strategies on general internal state such as arousal, frustration, and motivation will be studied using behavioural observations, behavioural tests, and operant methods. Finally, effects of different feeding strategies on behaviour and health will be studied in a commercial setting.
This project is funded by the NOW/LNV research programme The Value of Animal Welfare. It will be conducted in close collaboration with a PhD focussing on physiology and nutritional aspects of different feeding strategies, and a Postdoc focussing on environmental and economic trade offs of different feeding strategies.
Requirements
University Graduate
The candidate should
-have completed an academic study in biology, animal sciences or veterinary sciences; -have experience with research in the area of animal behaviour;
-have demonstrable knowledge of designing experiments, data processing, and data analysis;
-have good communication skills in English language (oral and written);
-be able to communicate with scientists and people from the industry;
Conditions of employment
To begin with, a PhD appointment for a period of 18 months. Continuation of the appointment with another 30 months will be based on performance evaluation. Gross salary per month 2042,= in the first year rising to 2612,= per month in the fourth year, based on a full time appointment

PhD Research Position in Environmental Engineering and Decision Analysis
Posted by:
Eawag: Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology
Job description
The doctoral thesis is part of the transdisciplinary project "Sustainable Water Infrastructure Planning" of the National Research Program "Sustainable Water Management" (NRP 61). The successful candidate will be part of a team of 3 PhD students that will develop a novel integrated, participatory planning procedure for municipal water infrastructures. The project focuses on dealing with limited data, the uncertainty of future developments, and ensuring high acceptance of the decision-making process by stakeholders.
The project combines engineering with decision sciences. The focus of this specific doctoral thesis is to combine quantitative models of water supply infrastructure with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to support the long term planning process. MCDA is a well-structured procedure combining cost-benefit calculations with subjective stakeholder preferences. Special attention is given to uncertainty: imperfect data, uncertain future scenarios, and the decision makers' own uncertainty concerning his or her preferences. The developed concepts and approaches will be applied to running real world planning processes in Switzerland.
Requirements
The candidate for this position is expected to hold a MS degree in Environmental Engineering, Environmental Sciences, or similar. He or she should have skills in mathematical modelling as well as the capability and interest to bridge the science-society interface in particular concerning the application of decision sciences and elicitation of stakeholder values. For this collaboration with municipalities and utilities in Switzerland, fluency in German is required. Additionally, we require the skills and willingness to work in an interdisciplinary team.
Conditions of employment
The position starts as soon as possible for a project duration of three years. PhD enrolment will be at ETH Zürich.
