Beasiswa S3 Denmark: PhD scholarship at the Graduate School ITMAN

Denmark. IMM Graduate School ITMAN would like to invite applications a
PhD scholarship (1/1) for the project “Mathematical modelling of
Bluetongue in the Danish population of ruminants”(cattle and sheep).

IMM Graduate School ITMAN would like to invite applications for a
fully funded PhD scholarship (1/1) for the project “Mathematical
modelling of Bluetongue in the Danish population of ruminants” (cattle
and sheep). The PhD is partly funded by the Danish Dairy Board
(Mejeriforeningen).

The project focuses on the use of mathematical models for predicting
the spread of the disease Bluetongue in the Danish population of
ruminants. Bluetongue is a notifiable viral disease affecting cattle
and sheep and is spread between animals by biting midges. The
hypothesis is that the spread of Bluetongue in Denmark can be
predicted by utilising mathematical models, demographic data of the
population of ruminants, and the population of midges. These models
can be used to predict what is likely to happen with the disease
occurrence if various alternative control strategies are adopted (e.g.
vaccination and culling strategies).

The 3 year PhD scholarship should be started as soon as possible after
September 1st 2008. The PhD student will be enrolled at the
Mathematics, Physics and Informatics (MFI) PhD Programme at DTU. For a
general guide to the PhD study at DTU, please see
http://www.dtu.dk/English/education/Phd_Education.aspx

The principal supervisor will be Håkan Vigre, DTU the National
Veterinary Institute and the co-supervisor will be Lasse Engbo
Christiansen, DTU Informatics.

The application should be addressed to the Head of Department Kristian
Møller, DTU the National Veterinary Institute. The Application Form
and Evaluation Form for the PhD study
(http://portalen.dtu.dk/Studerende/Phd_stud/Skemaer.aspx ) must be
attached.

Acceptance as a PhD student at DTU is subject to academic approval by
the MFI PhD Programme and approval by the funding plan by the Office
for Budget and Accounting, DTU.

Candidates should have a master’s degree in engineering,
mathematics/statistics, biology, or a similar degree with an academic
level equivalent to the master’s degree in engineering,
mathematics/statistics or biology.

The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules
for PhD degree students.

All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, race, religion
or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.

The application (1 original hard copy and 1 pdf electronic document)
must be handed in no later than September 1st 2008 at noon to Be-te
