A number of fully funded Ph.D. positions are available at the Center for Data-intensive Systems (Daisy),
Department of Computer Science, Aalborg University (AAU), Denmark.
The positions are available from August 1, 2012, or as soon as possible thereafter.

The positions are related to the TotalFlex smart grid project sponsored by Energinet.dk
The aim of the project is to develop IT technologies that help accomodate larger fractions of renewable energy into the
energy production by building an integrated solution for managing flexible energy consumption,
so-called "demand response."
The vision of TotalFlex is to develop a cost-effective, market-based system that utilizes total
flexibility in energy demand and production, taking balance and grid constraints into account.
The approach is based on the flex-offer concept pioneered by the EU FP7 project Mirabel http://www.mirabel-project.eu
Flex-offers express an intent to use energy in a flexible way, e.g., for operating a dishwasher, a consumer
could issue the flex-offer "I need 1KWh over 1.5 hours between 10PM and 7AM and I will pay
0.30DKK/KWh for it."

Applications are invited on the following research topics:

A) Flexibility detection and prediction: It is possible to automatically and precisely
detect and predict energy consumption, production, and flexibility at the device level and use
the predictions to automatically generate (potential) flex-offers. This can be realized by applying
data mining and machine learning techniques to the data, coupled with taking the concrete use
context and the historical behaviour of the users into account. The prediction of flexibilities is an
interesting general research problem.

B) Data aggregation and analysis: It is possible to efficiently aggregate
and analyse large amounts of complex energy-related data such as flex-offers over multiple
domain-related perspectives (dimensions) to benefit all energy market actors simultaneously.
This can be realized by building a multidimensional data warehouse for capturing and querying
the data and developing new techniques for aggregating over complex dimensions structures. In
particular, aggregating over complex spatial structures with associated physical constraints
(network grid) is an interesting research challenge.

Applicants must have a master degree in computer science or a closely related field, with very good grades.
They are expected to have good knowledge of databases (preferably multidimensional databases), data warehousing, and/or data mining,
as well as strong implementation skills. Good communication skills in English, oral as well as written, are essential.

More information about Daisy can be found at http://daisy.aau.dk/.

For further information about the technical aspects, please contact:
Professor Torben Bach Pedersen (tbp AT cs DOT aau DOTdk)

Please follow the online application procedure (link given below) carefully, applications via email are NOT considered.

Link to online application: http://tinyurl.com/7ff2l97

Applicants must submit the following material through the online application system:
1) Full CV
2) Diplomas and grade transcripts for both bachelor and master studies.
3) A 2-3 page proposal for the Ph.D. study plan, aimed SPECIFICALLY at one of the topics A or B.
The proposal should have the following sections: Background and Motivation, Proposed Research,
Expected Results, Time Schedule, and References.
4) Documentation of English proficiency, i.e., scores for TOEFL or similar tests.
5) Other material, e.g., copies of a few relevant publications (if applicable).

--- General info regarding Ph.D. studies at AAU
Danish universities offer very high Ph.D. salaries (and good social benefits) that compare very well with the rest of the world.
The monthly pre-tax salary at AAU is approximately DKK 26,000, plus DKK 2,600 pension contribution. In order to broaden their research horizons, Ph.D. candidates at
AAU are also financially supported for a one-semester academic visit to international universities/institutions.

1. Types of scholarship:University scholarships: University scholarships are open to students from all countries mentioned in the list, but are intended exclusively for postgraduate studies at one of Switzerland’s 10 universities or 2 federal institutes of technology.
2. Eligibility
   • Candidates must hold a university degree (Bachelors/Masters) on commencement of the scholarship.
   • Candidates must be able to demonstrate their academic abilities and what they aim to achieve.
   • Candidates must contact the institution and/or the professor supervising their period of research. Universities may request supplementary information and/or set certain additional conditions to determine whether or not you qualify for admission.
   • Candidates must be under the age of 35 (born on or after 1.1.1977).
   • Candidates must be suitably proficient in the language of instruction (French, German, Italian or English). A language test is required.
   • Candidates who have already embarked on the first year of a Masters programme at a Swiss university or UAS are no longer eligible for a Swiss government scholarship (with the exception of arts scholarship holders who do not have to be in Switzerland for more than one year). Such applications will not be considered by Swiss diplomatic representations.
   • Swiss government scholarships may not be combined with other scholarships or awards.
3. Length and amountScholarships are provided for a nine-month academic year. Scholarships for postgraduate or Masters programs lasting up to 2 years (3 or 4 semesters) may be extended depending on results from the first year.Scholarships consist of monthly payments of:
   

   CHF 1920.-	for postgraduate students
   CHF 1920.-	for fine arts and music students

   The Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students does not cover the cost of academic and/or term fees. Generally-speaking, the universities and the Zurich Federal Institute of Technology exempt holders of Swiss government scholarships from term fees (~CHF 600 per term), but not necessarily from Masters programme enrolment fees. In the event that these fees are not waived, it is up to the scholarship holder to arrange payment.

4. AwardsTechnically, the scholarships are offered to the government of the student’s country of origin and not to the student. Applications are subject to preliminary selection by the relevant national authorities and/or the Swiss diplomatic representation. The Swiss diplomatic representation then passes on the short-listed applications to the Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students (FCS) which subsequently takes the final decision. The FCS is composed of academic staff drawn from Swiss universities. Scholarship awards are made on the basis of academic and scientific excellence. The results will be communicated at the end of April 2012 / Mai 2012.
5. Application procedure
   1. If you fulfil the eligibility requirements contact the Swiss diplomatic representation in your country of origin or the national authority in charge of scholarships.
   2. The diplomatic representation will provide you with all the necessary information regarding the procedure including application forms and a list of required documentation.

Please consult the frequently asked questions (FAQ) for specific information.
