British Society of Aesthetics PhD Studentship 2011, UK

/ April 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

The British Society of Aesthetics proposes to award one Ph.D. studentship full-time maintenance grant of £13,590 (or within the City of London or the Metropolitan Police district: £15,590) plus tuition fees up to a maximum value of £3,500 from September 2011 for up to 3 years. The studentship is designed to support a promising philosopher in aesthetics and the philosophy of art, by enabling him or her to pursue full time doctoral research. Candidates for the studentship should already be accepted on to a Ph.D. programme at a British university at the time of application, to research on a subject that falls within the remit of the British Society of Aesthetics. It is a condition of application to the BSA that: (a) candidates are eligible to apply to the AHRC’s PhD studentship scheme [2],  (b) they have done so if a studentship is available, and  (c) they have applied to any other funding schemes available at the relevant institution. If any such applications are successful, the amount of the BSA scholarship, if awarded, will be reduced by the amount of the other award(s).
The successful candidate will be expected to complete a PhD, or be very close to completion, by the end of the award period, and to provide brief progress reports to the Society at the end of each year. construction and inference would also be investigated to ensure model validity. Having constructed the market model, the study would then proceed to consider how this model could be applied to examine real estate markets internationally, nationally, and regionally. It would examine additional factors that have differing levels of importance at different spatial scales and the drivers of investment across national boundaries. Issues of market efficiency, liquidity, market size, and the wider capital market would be considered (see Dunse et al, 2007 and 2010). Real estate investment decision making would then be evaluated in light of the evidence from market models applied at different scales of analysis. The models would also be used as a basis for identification of the importance of key factors and to simulate and forecast market performance.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 30 April 2011

PhD Studentship in Medical/Clinical Devices at Nottingham Trent University, UK

/ April 3, 2011 Leave a Comment

The School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment at Nottingham Trent University has an ambitious development strategy which allows us to offer an exciting opportunity for a PhD Studentship. The studentships will pay UK/EU fees and provide a maintenance stipend linked to the RCUK rate (£13,590 per annum for 2011/12) for up to three years. Applications are invited from those looking to pursue doctoral study in the subject area of medical/clinical device development. The research area could include design applications utilising smart materials and technologies. Designers are increasingly becoming aware of the potential use and integration of smart materials and technologies within their designs. One of the critical steps towards building innovative surgical solutions will be to link physicians and product designers utilising the appropriate materials and technologies to provide tangible improvements in patient care and treatment.
Designers are trained to think three dimensionally about form. In creating a new medical device, designers must understand the complex set of issues that exist in a variety of environments. It also illustrates the need for designers to understand a wide range of styles and techniques and transform ideas and visions into new pioneering products ready for market. We are interested in considering applications that will demonstrate an integrated design approach with a keen interest in utilising and implementing novel technologies.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 15 April 2011.
