A number of Ph.D.-scholarships at the Faculty of Engineering will be available as of 1st September 2008.
Information about the research areas at the faculty can be found at our homepage: http://www.sdu.dk/tek/
The scholarships may be sought by students who wish to obtain a PhD degree, either without or with a previous Master’s degree, and who have agreed on a PhD project with a supervisor employed at the Faculty of Engineering.
For applicants with a relevant Master’s degree, the scholarship will be for three years of study.
The applications are evaluated based on a number of criteria: the quality of the applicant (publications, grades, references, etc.), the quality of the project, and the degree of co-financing (by the supervisor, a Ph.D.-school, or the applicant). Special consideration will be given to projects with relation to the strategic research areas of the faculty. However, some scholarships will be based on an open competition among the applicants.

The Mads Clausen Institute for Product Innovation (MCI) at the University of Southern Denmark announces an opening for a Ph.D position within the area of mechatronics and cybernetics in relationship to the Robot-Assisted Polishing (RAP) project.
The MCI, part of the Faculty of Engineering, employs 70 people engaged in research and teaching in the field of product innovation. The Mads Clausen Institute is situated in the completely new university facilities at Alsion in Sonderborg which besides the university has capacity for a research park, a concert hall and a railway station.
The research of this Ph.D position is time critical mechatronic devices that require real time monitoring and control of advanced manufacturing processes. In the RAP case it is to assist a skilled human operator in the different operations involved in polishing a work piece, with an industrial robot equipped with a series of adequate sensors and actuators. We wish to explore the possibility of going towards more autonomy and intelligence for the robotic part, by incorporating such functionalities as automatic online monitoring of the process and diagnosis of the treated surface.
The candidate shall hold an MSc in Engineering or within a field related to the project, and have good programming and practical skills. Since, the project involves discussions with industrial partners on different issues; good communication skills are also desirable. Some knowledge on robotics would also be appreciated.
