To give you some background on the college and our program:

The IUC was established in 2006 for the interdisciplinary and comparative study of law, economics and finance, in response to the clear lack of a transnational set of normative principles capable of controlling economic processes. The program specifically looks to engage students and young scholars from all over the world with special emphasis on the periphery, or 'global south', with leading figures in economics, law and the humanities.

The IUC offers a 1 year LLM program in Comparative Law, Economics and Finance as well as a 2 year MSc. A number of renown intellectuals and scholars from around the world serve on the faculty and advisory board, including: Guido Calabresi (former Dean of the Yale School of Law), David Gerber (Chicago Kent School of Law), Josef Halevi (University of Sydney), Duncan Kennedy (Harvard Law School), Ugo Mattei (University of Torino & University of California, Hastings), Stefano Rodotà (coauthor of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights), Amartya Sen (Nobel Laureate), Gunther Teubner (Frankfurt School), Jan Toporowski (SOAS, University of London), Gustavo Zagrebelsky (Emeritus President of the Italian Constitutional Court).

The IUC students are from more than 40 different countries, spanning four continents, representative of a diverse range of disciplines and cultural backgrounds, with a focus on offering opportunities to students coming from social, economic, and/or political challenges, particularly students from former colonized territories (e.g., the global south) and other newer peripheries

Julie Gilbert

Julie Gilbert, former senior vice-president of Best Buy

You can read more about Julie Gilbert who was featured in Issue 1 of The Royal Neighbor magazine.

Julie Gilbert heads a thriving business called WOLF Means Business that combines business strategy with a strong belief in people and a passion for the possible. Her innovative ideas help grow businesses and inspire individuals to contribute more to their jobs, communities, others, and themselves.

Julie’s leadership style

I get energy by bringing as many people as possible into the vision I’ve created and making the vision big enough that it’s all-inclusive for people to create growth in business and within themselves.

As an example: At one point in my career, I had to create one of five project teams. I didn’t have an assistant to help, and I didn’t have an executive title to use to encourage participation.

So I positioned myself at the company coffee shop and engaged people for two days. I asked about their passions and what they liked to do. If they were a fit for the team, I invited them to join. As a result, I had people who were unbelievably passionate because they got to do what they loved to do every single day as a member of my team.

Their quality of work was off the charts and we were one of the most successful teams.

Julie’s success

I’ve been successful because, being raised by two entrepreneurial parents, I was taught very early that finance is the language of business. I learned how to build a business, what a profit and loss statement is and what a balance sheet looks like. I know that business is about building and nurturing relationships, a good work ethic, and understanding finance.

I started out as a CPA. That gave me a good foundation about finance that has been a powerful asset because it gave me the confidence to talk about financial issues that put me on par with my male colleagues.

WOLF Means Business

We are a consulting firm that helps transform businesses to better serve women. We work with companies and map out the strategy of the potential gain they could achieve by focusing on the female consumer. In almost every case, companies can potentially achieve billions of dollars in revenue.

Female employees at all levels work with female consumers to reinvent companies from the outside in and inside out. These women come up with some phenomenal ideas for new products and services.

Giving back plays a large role in our business, too. We try to inspire people to feel better about themselves and know they are valued and they matter. This empowers them to change their lives.

We are passionate about changing the world with women because women not only change the world for themselves, but for their children, husbands, and communities.

We also use our resources to build awareness of breast cancer and domestic violence, which affect women so critically.

How women can make their mark in the world

Have confidence in yourselves and take others with you. Realize that you have so much to give, support each other, and give back. We’re all in this together. We have an obligation to do better, stand up and lead, and step up to the podium and make it happen.

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.

Switzerland - 2009 University of Basel PhD Positions in Computational Physics

The university of Basel is the oldest in Switzerland and one of the oldest in Europe. Its physics department is among the top physics departments in Europe and offers an exciting environment for world class research.

Two PhD positions with a full salary will be available in 2009. The group of Prof. S. Goedecker focuses on the development of new algorithms for atomistic simulations and their application to challenging problems. A wide variety of methods ranging from force fields over density functional schemes to quantum Monte Carlo methods is used in these investigations.

One project will be be done in collaboration with the experimental group of Prof. E. Meyer within the National Competence Center for Nanosciences . The aim is use innovative simulation methods to better understand atomic force microscopy experiments (see e.g. Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 236106 (2008))

The other project is within a joint Swiss/Indian research program and aims at a better understanding of complex clusters using density functional methods (see e.g Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 055501 (2005))

Candidates for the two positions are not only expected to have a good physical/chemical understanding of condensed matter systems but also good mathematical and programming skills. Applicants who can not present high scores in the GRE exam will have to pass an individual test in the area of computational physics. The usual application documents together with the name of two references should be send to Stefan.Goedecker[ at ]unibas.ch.
