PhD Scholarship in Computer Business Processes         

The IT University of Copenhagen (ITU) invites applicants for 2 PhD scholarships starting summer/fall 2007 within the "Computer Supported Mobile Adaptive Business Processes (CosmoBiz)" research project funded by the research council for technology and production (grant no 274-06-0415).

Generel information:
The PhD scholarships run for a period of three or four years depending on the educational level of the student. A three-year scholarship can only be awarded to applicants with a Master’s degree equivalent to a Danish graduate degree. Students with the equivalence of 4 years of university studies - where one year (60 ECTS) is transferable to one of the Master of IT programs at ITU - can be awarded a four-year scholarship.

Appointment and salary will be in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). Applicants must document that they will be able to fulfill the admission requirements before entering the PhD program.

Applications are preferred in English, though Danish would be accepted. It is the responsibility of the applicant that documentation such as diplomas or recommendations are either in English or Danish.

One scholarship within Formal Semantics and Types for Mobile Adaptive Business Processes ref. no. 225-0026:
The successful applicant will be an excellent student capable of conducting research, under supervision, at the highest international level. Applicants are expected to have an MSc (or having completed 4 years of studies towards a MSc) in Computer Science, Engineering or Mathematics and in particular have experience in one or more of the areas of type theory, formal semantics, process calculi, bigraphs, graph rewriting, concurrency theory and implementation of research-based software systems.

The PhD scholarship runs for a period of three years (possibly four years if initiated prior to obtaining a MSc). In the evaluation of the applications emphasis will especially be put on grade average, prior academic performance, collaborative skills and the ability to make a realistic and promising work plan for the project.
