[rosedu-general] oportunitate doctorat

[Alex Morega]

Salut!

Chris Csikszentmihalyi, fost mare boss la MIT media lab, actual researcher la Polo Científico e Tecnológico da Madeira, are un call for applications pentru doctorate, unul în "Digital Media", altul în "Networked Interactive Cyber Physical Systems". Dau mai jos copy/paste la anunț.

L-am cunoscut pe Chris la o conferință de jurnalism și mi se pare un om super fain. Aș aprecia un ping dacă depuneți o aplicație, pentru curiozitatea mea personală :)

> Call for applications: PhD in Digital Media and PhD in Networked Interactive Cyber Physical Systems at M-ITI
> 
> M-ITI (http://www.m-iti.org/) is a unique human-computer interaction (HCI) research institute, rated as  “Excellent” by the national science foundation (FCT). M-ITI offers students high quality doctoral advisors, partnerships with renowned universities such as University of Texas at Austin and Carnegie Mellon University, dual-track degrees, modern facilities, and state-of-the-art equipment to support their research. At M-ITI, students and researchers have the opportunity to integrate teams working on challenging and dynamic projects.
> 
> M-ITI PhD students typically take their first year coursework on the mainland (Lisbon or Porto), then return to Madeira to conduct their research and write their dissertation. M-ITI currently offers two PhD programs, Digital Media and Networked Interactive Cyber Physical Systems.
> 
> Applications are being accepted for new students for the 2016-2017 school year, check:

> 1. PhD in Digital Media (PDMD)
> 
> The PDMD – Doctoral Program in Digital Media was created through the partnership between the FCT/UNL (Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa), the FEUP (Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto) and UT Austin (University of Texas in Austin, United States).
> 
> It is a 4-year PhD program, which is aimed at students with a Masters degree (2nd cycle Bologna or pre-Bologna) in the areas of information / communication sciences, multimedia, interactive design, and all scientific and technological areas that feed into digital media. Digital media is an area that is rapidly growing and has gained increasing importance in our daily lives.
> 
> The Digital Media PhD program aims to train researchers, academics and leaders in innovative processes. This training will enable the conceptualization and development of digital products and services, having taken into account target audiences, contexts and goals relevant to several distribution channels.
> 
> Applications for the Digital Media PhD program are now being accepted for the 2016/2017 academic year. Application deadlines:
> 
> University of Porto: August 8, 2016
> 
> New University of Lisbon: August 25, 2016
> 
> Learn more here (http://app.m-iti.org/).
> 
> 
> 2. PhD in Networked Interactive Cyber Physical Systems (NETSyS)
> 
> The PhD in Networked Interactive Cyber Physical Systems was created through the partnership between IST/UL ( Instituto Superior Técnico da Universidade de Lisboa) and Carnegie Mellon University.
> 
> This program is aimed at students with a Masters degree (2nd cycle Bologna or pre-Bologna) in engineering (electronic, computers, mechanical, aerospace and IT), computer science, and applied mathematics and it offers a high level of expertise and skills in cyber physical interactive systems. This PhD will provide students with the conceptual, scientific and technological tools to deal with the most challenging problems that happen in some of the most relevant real-life situations in the world. The fast progress that has been made in the field of systems engineering are allowing for the development and deployment of large-scale operating systems that interact with humans and physical systems, which are at the center of a vast number of applications in real world contexts and have significant scientific, economic and social impact.
> 
> To meet the real and ever-changing challenges in our society, a new generation of researchers is needed. These researchers should be capable of dealing with theoretical and practical situations created by the intersection of information processing, controls and robotics, systems optimization, networks data and human-computer interaction. The PhD in networked interactive cyber physical systems aims to train researchers, professors and professionals to deal with innovative processes and situations. It also has within its objectives to enable students to analyze complex situations and to propose new solutions, as well as give them the ability to manage multidisciplinary teams.
> 
> The applications will open (probably in June 2016) for a period of roughly two weeks. Interested applicants should contact us (mailto:academic at m-iti.org) as soon as possible to help describe the process and guide their application.
