Department of Forensic Molecular Biology

A 4 year PhD student position in molecular biology and genetics is available in the Department of Forensic Molecular Biology, Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

The general area of research is in identifying and understanding human individual and population differences (geographic origin, visible / physical traits, evolutionary genetic adaptation) for fundamental biological interest but also for potential future application to forensics. We are using state-of-art D/RNA including genome-wide technologies to identify respective regions / markers including dedicated follow-up studies. A suitable applicant will hold a M.Sc. in molecular biology or molecular genetics. Exceptional B.Sc. students are also encouraged to apply.

Norway - Gjøvik University College PhD Studentship in Computational Forensics

The Faculty of Computer Science and Media Technology at Gjøvik University College in Gjøvik, Norway, calls for applications to PhD student positions - Computational Forensics.

Computational Forensics is a primary area of research at the Norwegian Information Security Laboratory. It includes topics such as computer forensics, live incident response, and a broad spectrum of other forensic disciplines that use computer tools for crime prevention, investigation and the enforcement of law. Disciplines of particular interest are questioned document examination, forensic linguistics and forensic psychology.

We expect some background in one or more of the following topics:

  • Pattern recognition and computational intelligence (fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computing, probabilistic reasoning, machine-learning theory),
  • Computer vision (image enhancement, transformations, filtering, wavelet transform, color vision, registration),
  • Natural language processing.

For more information about this position, please contact Dr. Katrin Franke, email: katrin.franke @ hig.no.

Gjøvik University College, a campus of 1700 students and 130 faculty members, consists of three faculties, Faculty of Health Care and Nursing, Faculty of Engineering, and Faculty of Computer Science and Media Technology. Faculty members, researchers and graduate students are from a diverse and international background with an excellent faculty to student ratio.
