JOB VACANCIES - UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN

 

Ph.D. fellow in automated decision support systems for precision farming .

Department of Food and Resource Economics, Faculty of Sciences at University of Copenhagen is offering a PhD scholarship commencing 1 January 2014 or soon thereafter. The application deadline is 1 November 2013.

 

Project description
The position as a phd-student is associated with the project Usability of Environmentally sound and Reliable techniques in Precision Agriculture (USER-PA) as well as the research group Management Science and Production Economics (MSAP - see, www.msap.life.ku.dk).

 

USER-PA is a research project in the framework of the ERA-NET, ICT-AGRI (European Research Area Network Information and Communication Technologies in Agriculture).

 

The overall aim of the project is to integrate canopy and fruit sensors with autonomous mobile vehicles and wireless sensor networks for providing spatial data for high value crops. Solutions based on automated decision support systems will be demonstrated to farmers and involve two production systems (apple orchard and wine yard) with demonstration field sites in Switzerland and Turkey.

 

The Ph.D. project will focus on automated micro decisions in these two systems and to provide economic sound solutions. Automated decisions are based on large amount of diverse sensor data as well as preference information from the real decision makers. The micro decisions may also be interlinked with market information and collaborative systems. The challenge is to make economically sound automated decisions based on this information. In the USER-PA project the topic is to optimize inputs like water and fertilizer in high value crops based on spatial sensor data from autonomous mobile vehicles and wireless sensors.

 

The ideal candidate should have an interest in:

• Microeconomics
• Operational Research
• Statistical methods

 

and preferable an interest in multidisciplinary research.

Science and Power in Participatory Forestry (SCIFOR)

The Faculty of Forestry and Nature Conservation of the Sokoine University of Agriculture, in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen, Denmark hereby invites interested and qualified citizens of Tanzania (holding MSc degree or equivalent) to submit applications for 2 PhD scholarships related to the Danida financed project ‘Science and Power in Participatory Forestry’ (SCIFOR). Students will be enrolled at both the Sokoine University of Agriculture and University of Copenhagen, with a possibility of attaining a double degree.
The scholarships are of three years duration, and will commence on July 1, 2014. The PhD scholars will be supervised by a joint team of senior academics from the Faculty of Forestry and Nature Conservation and University of Copenhagen, and will be provided PhD level training in both university environments. The PhD study and research will be closely integrated and coordinated with all the other activities in the SCIFOR project.
The overall goal of SCIFOR is participatory forestry planning and management practices that support equitable, environmentally sound, and economically rational forest management. The project involves investigations of management planning practices and outcomes in forests managed under Participatory Forest Management in Tanzania.

The 2 scholarships come with different requirements:

• The PhD scholarship #1 entitled ‘Forest management planning, participation, and power in participatory forest management’ involves a case study aimed at understanding the role of management planning, i.e. preparation of the legally required operational plan in (i) shaping participation and inclusion in decision-making and benefit-sharing and (ii) informing actual forest management practices at the community level.
• The PhD scholarship #2 entitled ‘Forest management planning and conservation in participatory forest management’ focuses on understanding the role of forest management planning in shaping conservation outcomes of community forestry, and thus involves forest inventories and remote-sensing analyses to document past and present forest condition, as well as participatory mapping and interviews to understand the knowledge used in forest management at community level.

Baada ya kosa kosa ya Hamis Kiiza dakika ya tisa ya mchezo, Mrisho Ngassa aliipatia Young Africans bao la kwanza dakika ya 14 ya mchezo akimaliza pasi ya Kiiza aliyewatoka walinzi wa Simba SC na Ngassa kuukwamisha mpira wavuni.
Didier Kavumbagu alikosa bao la wazi kufuatia mpira aliopiga kutoka seintimeta chache langoni kabla ya tik tak ilyopigwa na Ngassa kupaa pia juu ya lango la Simba SC liliokuwa chini ya Abeid Dhaira
Hamsi Kiiza aliipatia Young Africans bao la pili dakika ya 35 ya mchezo, akimalizia pasi ya Mrisho Ngasa aliyemtoka mlinzi wa Simba SC Nassoro Maoud Chollo na mpira huo kumkuta mfungaji aliyeukwamisha wavuni.
Dakika ya 45 ya mchezo, Hamis Kiiza tena aliipatia Young Africans bao la tatu baada ya pira uliorushwa na Mbuyu Twite kuguswa na kichwa cha Didier Kavumbagu na kumkuta Kiiza ambaye alifanya kazi yake ya kuukwamisha mpira wavuni.
Mpaka dakika 45 za kipindi cha kwanza zinamalizika, Simba SC 0 -3 Young Africans.
Kipindi cha pili kilianza kwa Simba kufanya mabadiliko, ambapo mabadiliko hayo yaliwaongezea uhai katika dakika ya 55 uzembe wa Nadir Haroub 'Cannavaro' ulimpelekea mshambuliaji wa Betram Mombeki kuipatia timu yake bao la kwanza.
