Governance and steering - Policy Diffusion and Path Dependency

Aims and objectives
The Governance and steering project focuses on how policy makers try to affect the behaviour of individual HEIs and the HE system. Furthermore the project looks how and to what extent reform policies diffuse within and across countries, or are confined to specific national reform trajectories. Of particular interest in a European context is the effect on European policies and how they may have affected national reform trajectories.
Taking recent experiences from comparative research on steering and governance of HEIs as the point of departure, our assumption is that HE reform policies have shared certain core ambitions and ideas. At a general level they seem to have aimed at quite similar changes. However, the ideas where introduced into quite different HE systems, the policies emphasised different aspects of the reform ideas, and they were introduced and affected universities with varying force, emphasis and effectiveness. Supra national policies have at the same time made themselves felt in new and more forceful ways through the Bologna Process, the Lisbon Declaration, along with EU policies through the Framework Programs, European Higher Education Area and European Research Area policies. To what extent policy processes at different organisational levels have changed university institutions in a fundamental way is thus an open question.
The changes observed will be explained in terms of actor constellations (the number and type of actors involved in governance and steering), governmental structural arrangements and institutionalised styles of policy making and implementation.
The research question concerning change is whether and how governance and steering have changed from traditional to newer forms of steering. A common perception is that steering and governance of HE used to be characterised by governmental actors and hierarchic structures, combined with professional discretion. In recent years newer modes have been introduced characterised by looser networks of actors, governing at a distance through incentives, market or quasi market mechanisms and audit systems. One assumption about why governance and steering take place within looser actor networks is that the nation state is facing competition. Actors both at the sub and supra national levels are designing HE policies, thus making the process of governance into an apparently more complex and dynamic affair than it used to be. Given that such changes have taken place, to what extent have newer forms of governance affected the HE policy field and what are the implications in terms of policy content?

The project objectives can be summarized like this:
• Identify, conceptualise and examine comparatively the extent to which policies aim at developing universities as “complete organisations” with organisational capabilities of goal formulation, leadership and strategic behaviour or at cultivating them as “specific organisations” by sustaining structural arrangements that secure autonomy, academic freedom and influence at different organisational levels, institutional, faculty, department, disciplinary and individual level.
• To look at the actor, goals and policy instruments involved in HE policies, how they vary over time and cross nationally in terms of actor participation, collective organisation and influence, to substantive contents of goals and the instruments in terms of which they are pursued.
• To study the institutionalised patterns of policy making and implementation, to what extent and how HE policy making is integrated in or insulated from wider national and European policy processes, and to what extent policy making and implementation is characterised consensus or conflict.
Methodologies and experiments
The research design calls for a qualitative approach based on interviews and site visits, available policy documents. The qualitative information will be used to develop case studies and to decide on the relevant questions to integrate in the questionnaire for the survey study of the eight countries involved. Based on the overall TRUE research design, the project will be based on three different approaches: 1) National case studies of HE policies. 2) Case studies of individual institutions. 3) Survey of all HEIs in the countries involved.

Network analysis of drug responses
50000403v1453
Promoter: Yves Moreau

details

Description: Recently and because of the amount and complexity of genomic data available to biologists, we have developed methods to integrate multiple types of heterogeneous data to speed up the identification of promising candidate disease-causing genes. Integration of multiple types of heterogeneous data is currently one of the challenging frontiers in machine learning. We have developed a major platform for candidate gene prioritization called Endeavour (Aerts et al., 2006) and have established its effectiveness in tackling biological problems. More recently, we have developed improved machine learning strategies using both kernel methods (De Bie et al., 2007) and network graph analysis (Lage et al., 2007). We are currently developing a fully integrated strategy for data integration that directly combines gene networks and kernel methods.

A major direction for extension of this framework is the analysis of drug responses on such integrative networks and kernels. When a biological sample is treated with a drug, the biological response can be monitored by expression microarrays that measure the activity of all human genes. Such data can be visualized and analyzed as patterns on a gene network. Such analyses can be used to understand the mode of action of a drug (i.e., how a drug produces its desired effect) and its side effects (i.e., undesired effects), to repurpose drugs (i.e., discover that a drug used for a certain pathology can also be used for another one), and to study synergetic effects of drug combinations.

The goal of the Ph.D. will be both to develop the mathematical foundation of these strategies and prove their effectiveness for understanding drug responses. The complex IT infrastructure for genomic data fusion is already available and the methods developed during the Ph.D. extend the current infrastructure. In this way, the results of the Ph.D. will be quickly available to the biological community. Specific applications will be targeted in close collaborations with molecular biologists of the SymBioSys center.

Distributed Signal Processing Algorithms for Acoustic Sensor Networks
50000403v1421
Promoter: Marc Moonen

details

Description: A wireless acoustic sensor network (WASN) has a collection of acoustic sensor nodes, connected through wireless communication links, and where each node has its own processing unit. A general objective is to make use of all observed data in the entire network to perform a certain task, e.g. the estimation of one or several parameters or signals. There are basically two approaches to such estimation problems, namely a centralized approach, where all data in the network is gathered in one central processor and which typically requires significant communication resources, and a distributed approach, where the estimation process relies on local processing and cooperation. The objective of the distributed approach is to obtain local estimates as if each node had access to the information across the entire network, and to achieve this with limited communication resources and in a fully scalable manner. The project aims at developing distributed estimation algorithm for a number of audio signal processing applications, such as speech enhancement, blind source separation, de-reverberation and localization. The emphasis will be on adaptive algorithms, which can operate in scenarios where sensor positions may either be unknown or may change. Different network topologies will be considered, and practical issues will be addressed such as node synchronization and delay management.

Profile
We are particularly seeking candidates with a Master-of-Science degree in electrical, computer science or mathematical engineering, in physics or in mathematics, and with strong interests in optimization, signal processing, statistics, numerical computations, and algebra. The ability to become acquainted with new methods within short time and good familiarity with scientific tools like MATLAB programming are appreciated. The chosen candidate will be an enthusiastic person and initiator with good communication skills and a good knowledge of English.
The successful applicant will join a well-equipped and experienced research group where new and exciting research questions are tackled in challenging domains. He or she will have access to different interdisciplinary facilities; participate in all research-focused activities such as lab-meetings, in-house seminars, invited seminars and lectures and international meetings.

Ph.D. position in Electric Power Systems, 0309
KTH School of Electrical Engineering seeks a Ph.D. candidate in Electric Power Systems

Project title: Rational balance management with large amounts of wind power

KTH is the largest technical university in Sweden. Education and research cover a broad spectrum within natural sciences and engineering, as well as architecture, industrial engineering and management, urban planning, work science and environmental engineering. There are circa 12,000 full-year undergraduate students, 1,400 postgraduate students and 3,100 employees.

The School of Electrical Engineering conducts research and education on the highest international level in Electric Power Engineering, Fusion and Space Plasma Physics, Telecommunications, and Networks, Information and Control Systems (NICS).

The scientific and technical activities of the Division of Electric Power Systems cover development and application of methods for analysis, simulation, and control of electric and integrated energy systems. The research activities in this division are divided into three subject areas, namely, power system dynamics and control, electricity markets and production planning, and power system network planning.


Research subject
One fundamental property of electrical energy is that it can not be stored efficiently. This implies that at any given time, the total consumption in the power system will equal the total production. To ensure the operational integrity of the power system, control systems are used for keeping this balance. The purpose of the control system is to balance load and production variations. Also, markets for balancing power are used together with the technical systems.

The wind power in the Nordic countries produced 8 TWh during 2006, and currently scenarios of up to 50 TWh/year of wind energy in the area are being discussed. With the establishment of new wind power follows an increased demand for balance management due to the increase in unforeseen production variations.

The purpose of this research project is to develop a rational system for balancing power systems with large amounts of wind power. This includes the possibility of using wind power for balance management. To perform this, intra-hour models must be used which does not currently exist. Hence, a major part of the work will consist of model development. Possible modeling techniques include control algorithms, optimization and stochastic processes.

Qualifications
Applicants should have a completed academic degree on master’s level in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics or a related field. Furthermore, good oral and written communication skills in English are required.

To address its varied work, KTH aims to employ a diversity of talent and thus welcomes applicants who will add to the variety of the University, especially as concerns its gender structure.


Employment
Form of employment: Time limited.
Start date: According to agreement.

The salary follows the directions provided by KTH, and the position will include 80% research and 20% teaching assistance.


Application
Application deadline: 2009-10-01
