Dear all
Could you please circulate this? For further details please contact the
address below.
Spatial Modelling Centre (SMC) is a research centre whose main task is
to study the socio-economic factors that influence the interaction of
people and the environment. For this purpose a large spatial dynamic
microsimulation model of Sweden is being built using a unique database
of micro data. This database contains around 180 socio-economic
variables of all individuals residents in Sweden from 1985 to 1995. The
centre is located at Kiruna, Northern Sweden and is under the auspices
of the Swedish universities of Umeå and Luleå.
We are hereby inviting applications for
1. Research internships, which provide Ph.D. students from
universities worldwide an opportunity to conduct research at SMC for a
period of 3-6 months. The research should be linked to the
microsimulation model and/or the database and is tenable from March
1999. Some financial support will be provided.
2. Short-term sabbatical programme, which offers researchers and
academics an opportunity to spend 2-6 months at SMC and contribute to
the research being undertaken at SMC. Some financial support will be
provided for travel expenses and to partially cover living expenses.
It is expected that the product of the co-operation be expressed as a
paper to be published in an international journal. Applications should
include detailed curriculum vitae, list of publications, and a short
description of the topic of proposed research and preferred time for
being at SMC.
Information about SMC and Kiruna can be found at the respective web
pages: http://www.smc.kiruna.se/; http://www.kiruna.se/english/.
Applications for both programmes should be received by 15th February
1999 at the following address:
