Two PhD Positions in Logics for Quantum Interaction (Univ. of Groningen, Netherlands) Call for Applications: ---------------------- Two PhD positions are available in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in the Institute of Artificial Intelligence (ALICE), offered in collaboration with the department of Theoretical Philosophy at the University of Groningen. The candidates will join the five-year NWO Vidi project of Dr Sonja Smets. VIDI Project: ------------- ‘Reasoning about quantum interaction: Logical modelling and verification of multi-agent quantum protocols’: As for classical computing, logic is expected to play an essential role in the understanding of quantum computation and quantum information, and especially in the formal verification of quantum communication protocols. Such multi-agent applications involve quantum information flow and classical knowledge transfer (by classical communication) between the agents. So one of our aims in the proposed VIDI research project is to develop the logical tools for modelling complex situations where different types of informational dynamics (classical and quantum) are combined. Our goal is to develop and use a combined classical-quantum logic for the full specification and formal verification of agent-based quantum protocols for secure communication. Towards this goal, we propose to use formalisms based on modal logic, especially combinations of dynamic (or temporal) logics and epistemic (or ``spatial") logics. But other logical formalisms, such as probabilistic logic, linear logic and c! oalgebraic logic (or categorical logic, in general), may also turn out to be useful in this context Two PhD positions are linked to this project. The first PhD position has the task of studying from a logical perspective the role of classical knowledge transfer in known protocols such as e.g. Teleportation, Super Dense Coding and Quantum Secret Sharing. The second PhD position is associated to the logical study of the (classical and quantum) information flow in protocols dealing with the anonymity of an agent’s identity such as the Quantum Dining Cryptographers and Quantum Electronic Voting. Qualifications: --------------- Candidates should have (or obtain before 1 September 2010) an excellent Masters degree in Logic, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy, Mathematics or Physics. Fluent English is a prerequisite. Job Profile: ------------ We are looking for candidates with a strong interest in Logic (especially in any of the areas such as Modal Logic, Epistemic Logic, Dynamic Logic, Linear Logic, Categorical Logic or Quantum Logic) and in Quantum Information Theory or Quantum Computing. Appointment: ------------ The PhD positions are awarded for a period of four years and should lead to a dissertation. The gross monthly salary for each position will range from 2042 euro in the first year to 2612 euro in the fourth year. The successful applicants are required to participate in the PhD programme at the University of Groningen (see http://www.rug.nl/prospectivestudents/degreeprogrammes/graduateschools/phd) and will be working under the daily supervision of Dr. S. Smets. The main focus of the appointment is on research, but can include moderate teaching duties in subjects relevant to the candidate's research activities. The preferred starting date is 1 September 2010. How to apply: ------------- Applications must be send electronically to Dr Sonja Smets at Esta dirección electrónica esta protegida contra spam bots. Necesita activar JavaScript para visualizarla , they should arrive by 7 June 2010 and must contain : - a Curriculum Vitae - a Letter of Motivation (at most 2 page), explaining why you are interested in this position - a list of all university courses taken (including grades). - a short summary of your Master thesis in maximum 2 pages - the name and contact details (including email address) of two referees who can provide details about your profile (e.g. the supervisors of your master thesis).

PenCLAHRC is one of nine pilots funded by NIHR to address local NHS questions of national importance. The key feature of CLAHRCs is engagement between academia and the NHS. The PenCLAHRC approach involves identifying and prioritising important areas of uncertainty in NHS organisation and practice and, where these are not answered by existing evidence, carrying out new research using PenCLAHRC resources or developing further applications for external funding. You will make an important contribution to the internal evaluation of PenCLAHRC, contributing to process evaluations of specific research projects and the production of data about relevant NHS and Higher Education metrics. You will have the opportunity to support a participatory realistic evaluation which will contribute to the debate about methods for implementing evidence based practice. In addition, you will provide support by carrying out qualitative research activities for specific projects within PenCLAHRC. Initial work will include support for an evaluation of the implementation of the risk assessment tool for Venous Thrombo-embolism (VTE) in hospitals, which is about to be expanded to include the east of the region. You will be educated to degree level or equivalent and have experience in Health Services Research. Knowledge and experience of evaluation and qualitative research projects is essential. This is a University of Exeter appointment and will be based in Exeter.

Closing Date: 10am, Tuesday 6th April 2010 ScHARR studentship: Negotiating informed consent in qualitative research Information about the current round of ScHARR studentships can be found at http://www.shef.ac.uk/scharr/prospective_students/researchdegrees/studentship09.html along with an information pack to download. The following studentship may be of interest: An exploration of the processes of negotiating informed consent in qualitative research. Much discussion, and some tensions, exist over the extent to which the culture of research ethics in biomedicine is appropriate for the social sciences and in particular, qualitative research. Ethical guidelines for biomedicine, codified in the approach of the Local Research Ethics Committee (LREC) and the University Ethics Committee (UREC), tend to focus upon the individual and the preservation of autonomy, attenuated in the requirement for informed consent. However, research in the social sciences is less codified than in medicine and views the political implications of the research endeavor as a key concern. In medical research informed consent reflects the nature of a contractual relationship between individuals in a hierarchical relationship. However, in qualitative research, the relationship between researcher and participant is different and it is not always possible to predict outcomes from qualitative research. The aim of this studentship will be to explore the application of ethical codes developed in the context of medicine, and examine their appropriateness to qualitative research. A particular focus for this will be the processes of informed consent (although a case could be made to explore one of the other tenets of ethical research guidelines). Requirements are an MSc in the Humanities or Social Sciences and experience of qualitative research methods, particularly individual interviews and or focus groups. Contact details below.
