Japan.  Within the framework of the “Global Lab” project at the National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo, our lab is conducting pioneering work in combining the real world with the virtual world - in particular, the 3D online virtual world “Second Life” (and soon, OpenSim) - in novel ways, for the benefit of both.

We are looking for a dedicated Postdoc, who is interested in advancing the Global Lab project by:

• Investigating and implementing novel ideas that bridge the real world and the virtual world
• Writing scientific papers for major conferences and journals
• Supervising and organizing international internship students (Master and Ph.D. level)
• Showing commitment to the project
• Enjoying the life in a mega-city

Candidates should hold a Ph.D. degree in computer science, with good programming skills in Java or C++ (with flexibility to adapt to C#). Interest and knowledge in 3D computer graphics, networks, and simulation are beneficial. English speaking is required.

Netherlands. Utrecht University.

7 PhD positions are available within the Marie Curie Initial Training Network HERODOT. The positions will be undertake in various European location under the coordination of Utrecht University. HERODOT is a European network that provides a training through research program for young researchers in the field of colloidal nanomaterials. It brings together a set of partners from European universities (Utrecht, Gent, Dortmund, Lille and Leuven), research centers (IEMN, IMEC) and industry (Philips and IBM). The research program concerns the development of quantum dot and quantum rod heterostructures with a focus on applications in photonics.

This covers a wide range of research topics, such as:

• Synthesis and processing of colloidal quantum dots and quantum rods.
• Scanning probe microscopy (STM, EFM) of quantum dot heterostructures.
• Optical characterization of colloidal nanomaterials.
• Theory and modeling of colloidal nanostructures.
• Use of colloidal quantum dots as light sources.
• Use of colloidal quantum dots for optical signal handling.
