Scholarship Grants in History and Civilization at European University Institute
The European University Institute (EUI) in Florence offers one of the world’s largest and most distinguished graduate and postgraduate programmes in the social sciences.
Its Departments of Economics, History and Civilization, Law, and Political and Social Sciences, with their researchers, fellows, faculty and visitors, constitute an international research environment with a community of scholars drawn from over fifty countries in Europe and beyond.
The Department of History and Civilization (HEC) offers a structured four-year doctoral programme. In the first year doctoral researchers study historiographical and methodological issues and the in-depth exploration of selected central themes of European history.
In the second, third and fourth years, researchers pursue their individual research, and are invited to present the results of their work in seminars and workshops. Professors direct more specialized research seminars, tailored to the needs of researchers.
The Department provides training in research skills, IC&T and multimedia skills and encourages researchers and fellows to make use of the Language Centre.
Funding is provided for doctoral researchers to go on a mission twice a year to work in archives and libraries. Researchers may also receive financial support to present their work-in-progress at international conferences.

PhD student position in Historical Geology and Palaentology, Sweden
PhD student position in Historical Geology and Palaentology at the Department of Earth Sciences
Origins of Proterozoic-Cambrian photosynthetic microbiota
Starting date: Open from the closing date for applications.
Unicellular, organic-walled photosynthetic microbiota (prokaryotes and eukaryotes) diversified at an increasing rate through the Proterozoic and in the Cambrian explosion. Their phylogenetic relationships are still poorly understood because their morphology is not always sufficient to infer their systematic position. Studies of phenotypical features, combined with cell wall ultrastructure, biogeochemistry and biomarkers may help to unravel their biological affinities. More precise placement within a geologic time frame will allow the cause-effect relationships between evolving photosynthesing (primary producers) and forthcoming heterotrophic biota (consumers) versus global environmental change to be better understood.
The PhD student will collaborate with researchers at Uppsala and in foreign universities working with the palaeobiology, systematics, ultrastructure and biogeochemistry of cell wall, and the evolution of organic-walled microbiota. The aim of the project is to elucidate the biological affiliations and relationships to extant microbiota of selected microfossils (acritarchs), with emphasis on their life cycle, reproduction and environmental adaptations. The study will be based on analyses of phenotypical features and the cell wall ultrastructure, biogeochemistry and biomarkers by new microscopic, spectroscopic and tomographic techniques. This interdisciplinary approach between Palaeobiology, Earth Sciences and Astrobiology encourages a strongly motivated candidate to develop collaboration with scientists from different disciplines and across the fields of studies.
The applicant should have a university degree with a background in micropalaeontology, palynology, biology and/or geology, and a keen interest in palaeobiology, evolution and biogeochemistry. Applicants with skills in microscopy, laboratory techniques and image analyses are especially welcomed. The abilities to work in a team, to share experiences and knowledge, and be open to the application of new methods of research are essential. Because of a strong international character of the research, applicant is expected to have a good knowledge (spoken and written) of the English language. Acquisition of a (basic) knowledge of Swedish is strongly recommended to facilitate departmental communication and activity, but this is not a requirement for recruitment.
The holder of a PhD-student position shall primarily devote her/his time to own research and study. Other departmental work, such as educational or administrative duties can be part of the position up to 20% of a fulltime work.
The Ph.D. position is for four years where financing for the first year will be a postgraduate study grant (Utbildningsbidrag) and during the following three years as an employee of the university as a Ph.D student.
The applicant must be eligible for PhD studies. Priority is given to those who are deemed to show the greatest aptitude for a successful completion of the graduate studies. The Uppsala University is strongly committed to the equal opportunity policy and women are especially invited to apply.
Eligibility for PhD program at Uppsala University:
“Ch.7Sec. 39 HF: Applicants are generally eligible for programs at the graduate level if they have
1. completed an advanced-level degree,
2. Completed at least 240 academic credits worth of courses, with at least 60 academic credits at the advanced level, or
3. Acquired the equivalent knowledge in some other manner either in Sweden or abroad.”
The rules governing this process can be found in Higher Education Ordinance (Högskoleförordningen) 5 kap §§ 1-7. Local guideline at Uppsala University determine the salary.
The application shall consist of CV, copies of exams and list of courses including the grades obtained, a copy of the Master thesis (or a draft thereof), as well as names of two persons that can be used as referees.
Application deadline on 31 January, 2011.
More information can be obtained from Prof. M. Moczydlowska-Vidal, phone. +46-18-4712743, malgo.vidal@pal.uu.se.
