Student Bursary: ｣12,600 (increasing for subsequent years in line with
Research Council Stipend Level).

We are seeking to appoint a PhD student* who will be based partly in Leeds
and partly in Huddersfield [local travel expenses between the two will be
paid] for a three year jointly funded university and NHS project.

The successful candidate will work closely with NHS and University staff to
develop structures/methodologies for the transition of real patient's case
notes to coded exemplars capable of supporting technologist developing key
elements of the Electronic Patient Record; part of the NHS Documentation for
Health initiative. Publication of agreed methodologies to the Messaging
Infrastructure Manual is a key deliverable for the project that must be met
to agreed deadlines.

The successful candidate with the support of a supervisory team will take
the lead in exploring how need in the health care domain translates to a
technological solution. In particular, how do health workers and

*Climate Change, Uncertainty, and Strategic Management***



*January **27th** - February 1st, 2008
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich (Switzerland)*

Climate change is a major issue facing the world in the 21st century.
Drastic reductions of greenhouse gas emissions are crucial for stabilizing
the world's ecosystems. The business sector needs to mitigate the sources of
climate change and adapt to its effects even while both its magnitude and
economic implications are uncertain. Consequently, the appropriate management
of carbon resources becomes a cornerstone of competitive strategy.

The aim of the annual ETH PhD-Academy is to promote excellent PhD research
in the area of sustainability and technology and to develop responsible
leaders for tomorrow. While the 2008 academy focuses on climate change, it
is also open to PhD students working on similar challenges with respect to
environmental sustainability. The first four days of the academy focus on
improving the research design and methodology of participants' PhD projects.
One additional day will be reserved for discussions with leading business
representatives. We invite PhD students with a background in strategic
management, technology/innovation management, or institutional change to
participate in the academy. Besides content-related discussions, students
will get valuable feedback from their peers and three well-respected
professors:

ｧ *Prof. Dr. **Pratima Bansal**
*Shurniak Professor in International Business, Richard Ivey School of
Business, University of Western Ontario, Canada.

ｧ *Prof. Dr. **Andrew Griffiths**
*Professor for Strategy and Sustainability, UQ Business School, University
of Queensland, Australia.**

ｧ *Prof. Dr. Volker Hoffmann
*Professor for Sustainability and Technology, ETH Zurich, Switzerland.**

Papers should focus on ・but are not limited to ・the following topics:

ｧ Corporate strategy and investment decisions under uncertainty

ｧ Clean technologies and innovation strategies

ｧ Carbon risk assessment & analysis

ｧ Future development of climate regulation & carbon markets

ｧ Corporate perceptions of and adaptation to climate change

Subject: PhD-positions in Web Information Systems at Vrije Universiteit
Brussel

Body: The Vrije Universiteit Brussel is searching for candidates for

PhD-positions in Web Information Systems

for a number of projects funded by different organizations, ranging from
the Brussels region to the EU. The candidates will work as members of
the WISE research group in the Computer Science department at the Vrije
Universiteit Brussel. WISE research is concentrated on advanced
technology for large-scale Web information systems, with topics that
include but are not limited to: Web Engineering, design methodologies
for Web information systems, data transformation, adaptation, Semantic
Web technology and semantic interoperability.

The projects we are now hiring for differ in their specific
requirements, and the participation of the new group members will depend
on prior experience and skills. As an example, one project concerns
variability in software-intensive product development and WISE will
focus on modeling relevant aspects of configurability in a software
product. Another project concerns semantic interoperability, in
particular the large-scale, distributed sharing of user models for
personalized Web applications. A third project concerns theory and tools
for the optimization of storing and querying Semantic Web data in
distributed systems.

Successful candidates should possess the following knowledge and skills:

- advanced information systems design & modeling

- (Semantic) Web technologies and languages

- good programming skills, ability to develop proof-of-concept tools

- basic software engineering methods and techniques
