The Executive Board of Azad Unviersity in Oxford has agreed on providing an additional scholarship on the already existing one for those students who are coming from Azerbaijan. Azad University will be ready to add a subsidy of £1000 for each member of a group of students of 10 for the foundation year, the first year of Bachellor or the first year of PhD.
For example, the current subsidised scholarship for the first year of a Bachellor degree in Computing is £7950. This is 18.8% less than what Kingston University's fee is. So, with the additional subsidy, this means that for the first year the student
will be paying £6950. In addition, if the students are of a group of 20, then Azad University will subsidise the individual fees for the first year by £1500. This means that the student will be paying for the firstyear Bachellor degree an amount of £6450. This scheme applies for foundation, first bachellor and first year PhD.

Conference: State Weakness in the Balkans: Context, Comparison and Implications
Saturday November 24th, 2007
Lionel Robbins Building, Room R405
London School of Economics and Political Science
Registration : free
State weakness is the subject of two separate bodies of scholarly literature. One is the literature on the transition of post-Communist states and their apparent inability to consolidate democracy. The other focuses on the extra-territorial security implications of weak states in the global era. This conference aims to create a comprehensive approach to the discourses on state weakness, one that can synthesize the theories on state transition in a post-communist/ post-totalitaria n context with the wider security and policy ramifications of such weakness. In the Balkans, the legacy of totalitarianism is evident in a range of manifestations that can be insightfully explored in this framework, and are relevant to any number of contemporary situations (perhaps most notably that of Iraq).
Panels are made up of leading professors, professionals and theorists from a number of international institutions, and include Susan Woodward of City University of New York, Tim Edmunds of the University of Bristol, David Newman of Ben-Gurion University, Israel, John O'Loughlin of the University of Colorado, and researchers and lecturers from the London School of Economics. The event will be divided into four thematic sections: an exploration of the Balkan context, analytical comparisons between the Balkans and areas with similar issues, assessment of relevant policy and security implications and the outlining of a research agenda based on the
presentations and discussions.
Registration for this conference is free, but space is limited. For more information or to book a place, please contact Danielle Bart at d.bart@lse.ac. uk by November 21st, 2007.

America's Return to an Ideology of Warfare
Dear Colleague,
Why have psychologists failed to enter into the public domain in order to interrogate the sources of political violence? My SEMINAR ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF WAR explores the motives that generate collective forms of destruction and self-destruction.
In our first four sessions, we examined and discussed fundamental principles of political psychology:
* Identification with one's nation.
* The desire to destroy enemies.
* Warfare and the search for national unity.
* Sacrifice and devotion to a sacred ideal.
* Warfare and meaning ("something to kill and die for").
In the second half of our seminar, we turn to an analysis of the current conflict in Iraq, exploring AMERICA'S RETURN TO AN IDEOLOGY OF WARFARE.
We invite you to join us, even if you have not participated in the first four sessions.
The Seminar will occur at the following times. You may attend any or all of these sessions:
Friday, NOVEMBER 9: 6:45 PM
Friday, NOVEMBER 16: 6:45 PM
Friday, NOVEMBER 30: 6:45 PM
Friday, DECEMBER 7: 6:45 PM
Friday, DECEMBER 14: 6:45 PM
Friday, DECEMBER 21: 6:45 PM
There is no charge to attend, but space is limited. To hold your place for any or all of these dates, please send an email to: oanderson@ideologie sofwar.com
Directions to get to Fordham University and instructions on gaining admittance to the lecture appear below. We look forward to meeting you!
With best regards,
Richard Koenigsberg
PART II of Richard Koenigsberg' s
SEMINAR ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF WAR: AMERICA'S RETURN TO AN IDEOLOGY OF WARFARE
American culture in the ten years before September 11 was characterized by an absence of interest in war. U. S. foreign policy was guided by an "aversion to casualties." America hesitated to enter into violent political conflict if there was a possibility that even a few soldiers might be killed.
Foreign policy experts claim that the actions of America's enemies were shaped by this policy of casualty aversion. Bin Laden wrote about how the United States withdrawal from Mogadishu (in 1993) demonstrated clearly that America was "weak and impotent." Perhaps the ferocity of American actions after September 11 represented a response--not only to the fact that the United States had been attacked--but to humiliating statements made by Bin Laden and other Middle-Eastern radicals. The United States would demonstrate in no uncertain terms that she was not weak and impotent.
The Seminar will occur at the following times:
Friday, NOVEMBER 9: 6:45 PM
Friday, NOVEMBER 16: 6:45 PM
Friday, NOVEMBER 30: 6:45 PM
Friday, DECEMBER 7: 6:45 PM
Friday, DECEMBER 14: 6:45 PM

Would Americans be willing to sacrifice the lives of young people in the face of a ten-year policy of casualty aversion? Donald Rumsfeld asserted that the world should not underestimate America's "capacity to suffer casualties." Journalists insisted, "We're not in Mogadishu anymore." President Bush declared that although some doubted the American character, our troops had demonstrated their willingness to sacrifice for freedom and democracy. Never again would the United States "cut and run."
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the American grand narrative of a struggle between the free-world and communism dissipated. The struggle against terrorism replaced the struggle against communism. Once again, the United States would engage in a world-historic conflict to defeat an evil enemy. As Middle-Eastern radicals were killing and dying for Allah, so Americans would sacrifice their lives for freedom and democracy. The current war constitutes a sacrificial competition: who is willing to die the longest?

Why have psychologists failed to enter into the public domain in order to interrogate the sources of political violence? My SEMINAR ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF WAR explores the motives that generate collective forms of destruction and self-destruction.
In our first four sessions, we examined and discussed fundamental principles of political psychology:
* Identification with one's nation.
* The desire to destroy enemies.
* Warfare and the search for national unity.
* Sacrifice and devotion to a sacred ideal.
* Warfare and meaning ("something to kill and die for").
In the second half of our seminar, we turn to an analysis of the current conflict in Iraq, exploring AMERICA'S RETURN TO AN IDEOLOGY OF WARFARE.
We invite you to join us, even if you have not participated in the first four sessions.
The Seminar will occur at the following times. You may attend any or all of these sessions:
Friday, NOVEMBER 9: 6:45 PM
Friday, NOVEMBER 16: 6:45 PM
Friday, NOVEMBER 30: 6:45 PM
Friday, DECEMBER 7: 6:45 PM

PART II of Richard Koenigsberg' s
SEMINAR ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF WAR: AMERICA'S RETURN TO AN IDEOLOGY OF WARFARE
American culture in the ten years before September 11 was characterized by an absence of interest in war. U. S. foreign policy was guided by an "aversion to casualties." America hesitated to enter into violent political conflict if there was a possibility that even a few soldiers might be killed.
Foreign policy experts claim that the actions of America's enemies were shaped by this policy of casualty aversion. Bin Laden wrote about how the United States withdrawal from Mogadishu (in 1993) demonstrated clearly that America was "weak and impotent." Perhaps the ferocity of American actions after September 11 represented a response--not only to the fact that the United States had been attacked--but to humiliating statements made by Bin Laden and other Middle-Eastern radicals. The United States would demonstrate in no uncertain terms that she was not weak and impotent.

CfA: Shaping the future of EU, Skopje, 22-25.11.2007
Training seminar organized by Konrad Adenauer Foundation in co-operation with
Secretariat for European Affairs of the Government of the Republic of Macedonia
and Institute for International Co-operation of the German Adult Education Association (IIZ DVV)
STRUCTURE OF THE TRAINING SEMINAR
The role play ¡§Shaping the Future of Europe¡¨ deals with the formal process of the accession negotiations between the candidate countries, the current EU member states and the EU institutions. The aim is to make clear both the institutional design of the EU with its specific decision making processes and the different interests and
positions in the ambitious project of the EU enlargement.
Within the context of the simulation, complex and multi-layered planning, negotiation and decision-making processes will be imitated. The participants will adopt a fictive starting position for the duration of the role play and take on an active role as members of the European Parliament and of the European Commission, ministers of EU-member states, representatives of a candidate country or media
representatives. By adopting the positions and views of specific interests, they will develop a better understanding of the processes and developments in the European Union. The EU will become more transparent, understandable and therefore more accessible for the participants.
In contrast to traditional role-playing games, the participants act primarily in groups. They have to learn to understand the socio-cultural background of the country they represent, make demands, represent parties, participate in discussions, build coalitions and much more. The role play develops its own dynamics through the
fictive role profile, which does not necessarily reflect the political reality, but rather divides up important interests among the participating players.
WHO CAN APPLY?
Students from all faculties
„X not older than 29
„X fluent in English
„X with background knowledge about the EU`s structures and functioning
„X with a strong interest in a further development of their basic knowledge
Applicants should submit the following documents via post or e-mail :
„X short biography (CV)
„X motivation letter
Pre-selected candidates will be invited to an interview before the final selection.
The training seminar ¡§Shaping the Future of Europe¡¨ will take place in Skopje from 22th to 25th November 2007. Travel, accommodation and food expenses will be provided.

The Central European University
Nationalism Studies Program announces a
Call for applications for MA, PhD and DSP studies at the Central European University in Budapest
About Nationalism Studies Program
The Nationalism Studies Program was established at Central European University by the late Ernst Gellner with the goal of promoting the study of nationalism in the post-communist countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. The aim of the program is to engage students in an empirical and theoretical study of issues of nationalism, self-determination, problems of state-formation, ethnic
conflict, minority protection and the related theme of globalization. Drawing upon the uniquely supranational milieu of Central European University, it encourages a critical and non-sectarian study of nationalism.
Students are encouraged to engage in an interdisciplinary study of nationalism, a subject that is inherently and fundamentally interdisciplinary. For this reason, the international teaching staff has been assembled to represent a wide range of disciplinary expertise relevant to the study of nationalism including history, social theory, economics, legal studies, sociology, anthropology, international
relations and political science. The program offers a wide selection of courses that provide a complex theoretical grounding in problems associated with nationhood and nationalism combined with advanced training in the methodology of applied social science. Additional courses focus on placing problems of nationalism in the context of economic and political transition as well as constitution building in post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe with a comparative outlook on regime transitions outside the region.
Faculty
The faculty of the Nationalism Studies Program includes Mária M. Kovács, András Kovács, Anton Pelinka, Will Kymlicka, Shlomo Avineri, Rogers Brubaker, Donald Horowitz, Michael Stewart, Walter Kemp, Selim Deringil, Rainer Bauböck, Tibor Várady, Victor Karády, Michael Miller, Júlia Szalai and Florian Bieber.

CfP: The Radical Right in post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe, New York University, April 24 – 26, 2008
Call for Papers
Conference “The Radical Right in post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe – the Role of Legacies”
New York University, April 24 – 26, 2008
Perhaps more than in other regions, the radical right in post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe is interpreted as the “return of history” or the “return to the past”. Moreover, the histories of state socialism and of pre-socialist non-democratic experiences are seen as major factors in shaping both the contents and the opportunities of the radical right in these new or emerging democracies. Often, the role of “legacies” in the sense of Jowitt, Crawford, Lijphart and others are used to interpret the particularities of the phenomenon.
This conference wants to adress the isse of legacies and their impact on the CEE radical right in a systematic and twofold way. “Legacies” shall be understood both as a contextual factor, as part of structural and cultural opportunities for new movements and parties in the region, along with particular “post-socialist pathways” which individual countries have taken on the road to democracy and other context factors, and as a textual factor, as part of the ideological baggage of the past which is revived – and reinterpreted – by the radical right.
Participants at the conference are invited to address these issues in a larger comparative or small-N, case-oriented fashion. Contextual analyses may highlight to what extent particular legacies have informed the patterns of post-socialist pathways and and discuss the respective explanatory power of these factors for the types and strengths of radical right parties and movements which emerged (or did not emerge, as in some countries). Comparative analyses may map the varieties of the party and non-party radical right in a cross-country approach. Case studies may take an in-depth look at the role of legacies and the mechanism of its input into the shape and success of the radical right in individual countries.
Paper givers who are accepted will be paid round-trip airfare (economy) and three nights of accomodation in New York. They are expected to revise their papers for a publication after the conference.
The deadline for abstracts (1 page) is December 1, 2007. Please send them

Conference “The Radical Right in post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe – the Role of Legacies”
New York University, April 24 – 26, 2008
Perhaps more than in other regions, the radical right in post-1989 Central and Eastern Europe is interpreted as the “return of history” or the “return to the past”. Moreover, the histories of state socialism and of pre-socialist non-democratic experiences are seen as major factors in shaping both the contents and the opportunities of the radical right in these new or emerging democracies. Often, the role of “legacies” in the sense of Jowitt, Crawford, Lijphart and others are used to interpret the particularities of the phenomenon.
This conference wants to adress the isse of legacies and their impact on the CEE radical right in a systematic and twofold way. “Legacies” shall be understood both as a contextual factor, as part of structural and cultural opportunities for new movements and parties in the region, along with particular “post-socialist pathways” which individual countries have taken on the road to democracy and other context factors, and as a textual factor, as part of the ideological baggage of the past which is revived – and reinterpreted – by the radical right.
Participants at the conference are invited to address these issues in a larger comparative or small-N, case-oriented fashion. Contextual analyses may highlight to what extent particular legacies have informed the patterns of post-socialist pathways and and discuss the respective explanatory power of these factors for the types and strengths of radical right parties and movements which emerged (or did not emerge, as in some countries). Comparative analyses may map the varieties of the party and non-party radical right in a cross-country approach. Case studies may take an in-depth look at the role of legacies and the mechanism of its input into the shape and success of the radical right in individual countries.
Paper givers who are accepted will be paid round-trip airfare (economy) and three nights of accomodation in New York. They are expected to revise their papers for a publication after the conference.
The deadline for abstracts (1 page) is December 1, 2007. Please send them

PhD Research Scholarships, NUS (15th November 2007)
The Asia Research Institute is pleased to offer Ph.D. research scholarships from August 2008 in the following interdisciplinary areas:
- ASIAN MIGRATION
- RELIGION & GLOBALISATION IN ASIAN CONTEXTS
- CULTURAL STUDIES IN ASIA
- COLD WAR IN ASIA
- SUMATRA HERITAGE, ARCHAEOLOGY AND RECONSTRUCTION
The PhD scholarship is to be taken up jointly with the appropriate discipline-based department. This would normally be with a department of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, but where appropriate could also be with the Faculty of Law, School of Business or School of Design & Environment at the National University of Singapore.
Interested applicants are required to submit their application to ARI at the address stated below by 15th November 2007, indicating clearly both which ARI interdisciplinary area they wish to join and which department they would be attached to. Application procedures and forms can be obtained from the NUS website via this URL: http://www.nus. edu.sg/registrar /edu/gd-applnres feeform.html
Applicants must use the application forms in the respective Faculty websites depending on the Faculty to which they wish to seek admission. They should send their applications to ARI directly.
The following interdisciplinary areas or "clusters" are offering scholarships:
1) The Migration Cluster (Research Leader: Professor Brenda Yeoh) explores the issues arising from increased levels of human mobility in the region, both within and across national borders. Mobility of high-level professional and managerial personnel, labour migration, both documented and undocumented, and human trafficking all raise theoretical and methodological questions and major policy issues, as does the role of migration in urban change.
2) The Religion and Globalisation Cluster (Research Leader: Professor Bryan Turner) explores the changing patterns of religious practice, belief and identity in recent times, particularly in Southeast Asia, China and South Asia. The title implies a particular interest in transnational and diasporic interactions, the engagement with modern technologies and values, and new global or ‘glocal’ forms of identity.
3) The Cultural Studies Cluster (Research Leader: Professor Chua Beng Huat) consciously challenges disciplinary boundaries to address new topics, issues and concerns thrown up by the rapid globalization of contemporary cultures. ARI is interested in new understandings of the everyday life cultural practices of contemporary Asia, as in adaptations of older patterns in literature, and the performing and graphic arts, in rapidly changing contemporary conditions.
4) The Southeast Asia-China Interactions Cluster (Research Leader: Professor Anthony Reid) will welcome students in two project areas: The Cold War in Asia, relating particularly to relations between the two Chinas (CCP and KMT) and the parties, movements and governments of Southeast Asia; and issues of heritage recovery and archaeology in Aceh and Sumatra more generally.
ARI is a university-level institute formed in July 2001 as one of the strategic initiatives of the NUS. The mission of the Institute is to produce and promote world-class research on Asia. ARI engages the social sciences and humanities broadly defined, and encourages especially multidisciplinary studies. Now home to six research clusters with a strong team of resident and visiting scholars, ARI works closely with the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, School of Business, Faculty of Law, and School of Design and Environment in NUS.

PhD Studentship in Health Inequalities - Liverpool John Moores University
Liverpool John Moores University
MPhil/PhD Studentship
Health Inequalities
(Up to 3 years)
The studentship covers university fees at the UK/EU level and a stipend of £12,600 per annum.
Please quote Ref : B7372AC
The North West Public Health Observatory within the Centre for Public Health, Liverpool John Moores University invites applications for an MPhil/PhD studentship to conduct a programme of research concerning relative and absolute inequalities in health.
It is well recognised that inequalities in wealth lead to inequalities in health. At a population level, many health indicators show a strong relationship with deprivation. In western societies it is not absolute poverty but an individual's perceived or actual rank in society that is linked to health. However while research has been carried out at an individual level using small-scale surveys, little has been done to utilise the enormity of geographical level data to explore this effect. This research programme will test the hypothesis that the deprivation of immediately surrounding localities relative to each locality is a predictor of ill health, and determine the strength of this relationship at different geographical levels. In doing so, it will utilise deprivation and health data available at the level of lower super output area, supplemented by national lifestyle data using modelling techniques. The research is highly quantitative and will require extensive application of multivariate statistical techniques and use of geographic information systems (GIS)
Applicants should have a minimum of a 2:1 honours degree in Health, Geography or other related or social science discipline. A relevant Masters degree would be an advantage (professional research experience would also be considered). The student will join an active team of analysts, researchers and information specialists within the NWPHO. The work programme will be supported by academics with specialist expertise and networks, in addition to the to the support and development opportunities provided by the University Research and Graduate School and the Faculty of Health and Applied Social Sciences.
The studentship covers university fees at the UK/EU level and a stipend of £12,600 per annum for full-time study up to three years. The student will register initially for the award of MPhil and will be expected to transfer to PhD registration within 12-15 months (subject to satisfactory progress and approval of the transfer report)
For an informal discussion, contact the Director of Studies for the research programme, Dr Karen Tocque (email: k.tocque@ljmu. ac.uk). To apply, please complete the application form for postgraduate study, and send with your CV (optional) and a cover letter explaining your interests and skills relating to this opportunity to Miss Elaine Steele, Castle House, North Street, Liverpool, L3 2AY (e.m.steele@ljmu. ac.uk; 0151 231 4055). The closing date for applications is 23rd November 2007. Application forms are available from the following website: http://www.ljmu. ac.uk/RGSO/ 59300.htm

Conference Announcement: "U.S.-Iran Negotiations on Iraq" - November 8, 2007
Conference
"U.S.-Iran Negotiations on IRAQ"
by Kamran Bokhari
Director of Middle East Analysis, Strategic Forecasting Inc.
Date / Venue: November 8, Thursday, 2007 / SETA Foundation
Time: 15.00-16.30
We are pleased to invite you to a conference on "U.S.-Iran Negotiations on Iraq", to be held in SETA Foundation on Thursday, November 8, 2007.
U.S foreign policy on Iraq has moved away from dealing with Sunni insurgency to containing the rise of Iran. At the same time, though, Washington needs to reach a settlement with Tehran in order to stabilize Baghdad. These two seemingly contradictory goals are at the heart of the problems plaguing Iraq and the region.
Kamran Bokhari will talk about U.S. - Iran negotiations on Iraq and will tie this in with the Turkish-Kurdish angle as well.
We very much hope you will be able to attend.

CfA: 2008 Regional Symposium Grants: Frozen Conflicts and Unrecognized States in Southeast Europe and Eurasia
The Regional Policy Symposium Program, initiated in 2000 as a new model for supporting scholarship, provides US students, scholars, and professionals with a forum to examine and discuss current policy research on the countries of Eurasia and Central and East Europe from multi-disciplinary and multi-regional approaches. The research ultimately results in the development and dissemination of policy
recommendations to academic and policy communities.
PROGRAM GOALS
The program, funded by the Title VIII Program of the US Department of State, has three primary goals:
* To enable US junior and senior scholars to work together in analyzing complex issues affecting the countries of Eurasia and Central and East Europe from multi-disciplinary and multi-regional approaches.
* To encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas and networking opportunities among scholars with similar regional interests.
* To provide policymaking communities with knowledge of current research on evolving regions and valuable policy conclusions drawn from intensive interaction among scholars.
PROGRAM ACTIVITY
2008 Regional Symposium Grants: Frozen Conflicts and Unrecognized States in Southeast Europe and Eurasia
IREX, in collaboration with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars' Kennan Institute (WWC), will be administering a research Symposium that will examine the frozen conflicts and unrecognized states in Southeast Europe and Eurasia from political, historical, economic, cultural, and security perspectives. The Symposium will bring junior and senior scholars and members of the policy community together to study and discuss timely topics including: security and military cooperation;
economic trends; environment and safety; human rights; cross-border ethnic issues; trade development; legal reform; and foreign relations. Research focus areas include: Abkhazia; Kosovo; Nagorno-Karabakh; Republika Srpska; South Ossetia; and Transnistria.
Junior scholars will be chosen based on a national competition to present their current research on the topic of the Symposium. Grants will be awarded to approximately 10 junior scholars. The Regional Symposium is scheduled to take place in late March 2008 in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area and will involve two full days of reviews of current research projects, roundtable discussions, and the
development of policy recommendations.
For more information, eligibility requirements, and application materials, please visit the IREX website at: www.irex.org/ programs/ symp/index. asp

Conference: National identification from below, Ghent/Belgium, 7-8.3.2008
National identification from below. Europe from the late 18th century to the end of the First World War
International Conference Ghent (Belgium), 7-8 March 2008
The last three decades, the discourse, myths, symbols and rites of the most diverse nations and national(ist) movements, have been amply studied. Much of this research, however, is informed by a limited conception of the constructivist paradigm, interpreting national identity as a middle and upper class concern brought to the masses through a whole range of nationalising media (schools, army, press, monarchy, church, etc.) overemphasizing the idea of elite construction ex nihilo (as if dominant groups can randomly choose which myth they want to 'feed' to the masses).
This conference wants to study not only the production of national discourse, but also its appropriation by 'ordinary people' and the masses' creativity in forging new national symbols from below. The intended audience includes historians, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, ethnographers, ...

International Conference Ghent (Belgium), 7-8 March 2008
The last three decades, the discourse, myths, symbols and rites of the most diverse nations and national(ist) movements, have been amply studied. Much of this research, however, is informed by a limited conception of the constructivist paradigm, interpreting national identity as a middle and upper class concern brought to the masses through a whole range of nationalising media (schools, army, press, monarchy, church, etc.) overemphasizing the idea of elite construction ex nihilo (as if dominant groups can randomly choose which myth they want to 'feed' to the masses).
This conference wants to study not only the production of national discourse, but also its appropriation by 'ordinary people' and the masses' creativity in forging new national symbols from below. The intended audience includes historians, political scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, ethnographers, ...

Ph.D. Position in cost estimation modeling for cross-organizationa l ERP projects
Job opening number: 07/182
The University of Twente invites applications for a Ph.D. position in the COSMOS project (http://is.ewi. utwente.nl/ research/ requirements/ cosmos.doc/ index.html), a cooperation between the department of Business Information System (http://www.bbt. utwente.nl/ iscm) chaired by Prof. Jos van Hillegersberg (http://www.mb. utwente.nl/ iscm/staff/ academic/ Hillegersberg/)
and the Information Systems group chaired by prof. Roel Wieringa
(http://www.cs. utwente.nl/ ~roelw). The Ph.D. student will be employed
in the Information Systems group.
In this project we will investigate, compare, and integrate functionality- driven approaches and economics-driven approaches to the problem of estimating cost for cross-organizationa l Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations. Specifically, the COSMOS project will seek to answer to the following key questions:
1.
What are the essential cost drivers to be considered for inclusion in cost estimation models for a set of interdependent ERP projects carried out in cross-organizationa l settings?
2.
How are ERP costs and benefits shared among the actors in a value network?
3.
What is the relationship between organizational factors (e.g. the degree of project management control) and the accuracy of ERP project estimates?
4.
How to measure size of cross-organizationa l ERP projects based on functionality
5.
How to assess the goodness-of- fit of cost models in real life cross-organizationa l settings?
6.
How elements of real-options thinking and portfolio management concepts could be incorporated into existing ERP effort estimation practices?
7.
How to incorporate estimation activities into the requirements engineering process for cross-organizationa l ERP?
We will investigate these questions by a combination of quantitative research, case study research, action research, and qualitative research methods with our industrial partners.
The successful candidate will be an integral part of a multidisciplinary research team to deliver:
(i)
a multidimensional size and effort estimation framework for cost estimation of networked ERP implementation projects,
(ii)
a requirements engineering approach to networked ERP projects that incorporates cost estimation and risk assessment activities, and
(iii)
a success model that will help network partners visualize and reason about what will distinguish a successful networked ERP project from a failed one.
The Ph.D. student will be actively involved in case studies with partners from industry to assess current ERP cost estimation practices, re-define and improve existing approaches, validate proposed methods, and define a cost-and-risk- driven requirements engineering process for networked ERP projects.
We are looking for the following qualifications:
·
A Master Degree in information systems or a comparable discipline such as software engineering, software metrics, or computer science;
·
good communication and interpersonal skills. The main task of the PhD student will be to carry out collaborative research at the interface between theory and industry practice, but he/she will be given the opportunity to acquire some teaching experience at the undergraduate and graduate level.
·
Strong analytical and problem solving skills.
·
Ability to take actions that align objectives, tasks and resources with project
priorities and drive issues to closure despite setbacks.
·
Exhibit high levels of energy, enthusiasm and determination.
·
Productively challenges the status quo and actively searches for solutions beyond traditional boundaries.
·
Strong work ethic; capable of working independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced dynamic environment.
·
Previous industry experience in ERP process engineering or in software metrics would be an asset.
·
English language proficiency in writing and oral is required.
·
Dutch language is an asset.
We offer:
·
A four-year appointment at an interesting temporary research position in a dynamic and international environment.
·
A salary starting at ¤1956 gross per month in the first year and grows up to ¤2502 gross per month in the fourth year.
·
Support in getting involved in Dutch language courses.
Applicants should submit:
·
a curriculum vitae including a list of courses you have followed (with grades),
·
a cover letter with a statement of motivation and research interests,
·
names and contact details of two suggested referees
by e-mail to is_jobs@cs.utwente. nl.
Please indicate the job opening number in the subject heading.
