Beasiswa S3 bidang elektro di Perancis

The Power Electrical Engineering Group of the Laboratory for Innovation technologies – University of Picardie Jules Verne (LTI), Amiens, France (www.u-picardie.fr), invites applications for a full-time research assistantship of three years granted by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research (around 1400Euros per month/12 months per year). The expected starting date is at the maximum end of October 2009. The selected candidate will be register as a graduate student with student status and social insurance according the French law. Tuition fees are practically free (around 300Euros per year). Applicants must hold a MSc in electrical engineering (major power) not graduated earlier then one (1) year prior to the start date. The candidate should be highly self-motivated and have sound knowledge and research background in electrical machines and drives. Additional requirements are skills in power system modeling and simulation with MATLAB/Simulink and/or other related software. A hands-on practical laboratory experience in power electrical engineering is mandatory. The candidate must have good professional communication skills and a basic knowledge of French will be a plus for the selection. The topic on which he/she will have to work is related to multi-phase, multi-pole induction machine for renewable electricity production from the machine design to the prototype test. He/she will work on the supervision of Professor Gerard-Andre Capolino and Dr. Humberto Henao. For all qualifications (French MSc equivalence) and application procedure, the graduate school of the University of Picardie Jules Verne will provide all the documents after the selection process. Application screening begins October 1, 2009 by an interview of the selected candidate to fill the position the first week of October 2009. Please do send urgently by e-mail (certified documents) your CV, your list of publications and at least two letters of recommendation (one coming from your MSc advisor, the other one from the director of graduate program in your school and/or the Head of Electrical Engineering Department) to Prof. Gerard-Andre Capolino, Head of the Search Committee (Gerard.Capolino@...). All the applications received after October 1, 2009 WILL NOT be considered. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Scholarships at INSA Lyon, France and Ranplan Wireless Network Design Ltd.- UK

In the framework of the iPLAN European project the aim of this thesis is to enhance the computational efficiency and to adjust the complexity-accuracy trade-off of the MR-FDPF (Multi-Resolution Frequency Domain Partial Flows) method for indoor radio coverage prediction. This method, particularly efficient for indoor propagation, is devoted to be implemented in a radio network planning tool. This tool needs to propose all kind of modern radio link conditions: indoor, outdoor, indoor to outdoor, outdoor to indoor, for 3G/4G, WLAN or WMAN (WiMax), from macrocells to femtocells. Thus, the study will contain four main parts:

• computational efficiency enhancement of the MR-FDPF method;
• implementation of statistical analysis of radio channel behaviour rather than only considering mean power level;
• integration of our indoor propagation tool into a wide areas simulation tool with other propagation methods such as ray-tracing in collaboration with other partners;
• measurement campaigns and model calibration.

The PhD candidate will work the first year in the CITI Lab of INSA Lyon in order to propose all possible enhancements on the MR-FDPF method and will be associated to the SWING INRIA project team (at INSA Lyon, France). Then he will spend two years seconded in Ranplan Wireless Network Design Ltd, partnet of the iPLAN project (located in Luton, UK). Ranplan`s R&D department is expected to launch an automatic planning tool, and the results of this work will contribute to this innovating tool. References:
