The Petroleum Technology Development Fund- PTDF is inviting applications from suitably qualified candidates for its postgraduate – MSc & PhD – Scholarships as well as Undergraduate, under the PTDF scholarship scheme for Nigerian students.

Eligibility Requirement
Only applicants who meet the requirements below shall be shortlisted and invited for Electronic Aptitude Test for Undergraduate and MSc, while oral interview will be conducted for PhD applicants on dates to be announced later.
Undergraduate student applicants must be in their 2nd year in any of the listed Nigerian Universities.
The Possession of a valid university admission letter is required of all PHD applicants.
PTDF will assist successful MSc/ Masters candidates in securing admission into suitable Universities (within and outside Nigeria).

Country of Study
Scholarships will be awarded for studies in the United Kingdom and upgraded Universities in Nigeria for the 2011/2012 session. However, the undergraduate level will be awarded for studies in Nigeria only.

PTDF however wishes to inform all its esteemed applicants that its Overseas Scholarship Scheme was instituted as a short term measure to address identified skills gaps, pending the outcome of the various capacity building efforts being made to enable the Nigerian universities effectively handle the onerous task of grooming qualitative professionals in the oil and gas related disciplines. With the numerous upgrade programmes executed by the Fund in some Federal Universities in Nigeria, the Fund intends to shift emphasis to training Nigerians in-country from next session. Consequently, only a limited number of candidates will be sponsored overseas and the rest in Nigerian Universities listed below.

Postdoctoral in Antenna Systems: New Waveguide Technology for Radio Links, Sweden

/ January 11, 2011 Leave a Comment

The postdoc position has one year duration and is financed by a project within the Chase research center. Depending on the results of the first year’s study and the industrial interest, the Board of Chase may decide to extend both the size and duration of the project. The research will be to investigate the use of gap waveguides in radio links above 30 GHz, in collaboration with local industry and the antenna group.

The employed person will work part of the time in an industrial environment, where he/she will learn about specifications and present state of the art in radio link RF technology. This knowledge will then be used to investigate if any of the RF components such as antennas, filters, couplers and orthomode transducers can be realized more cost-effectively in gap waveguides, and even if the packaging of the whole RF front end can be done in gap waveguide technology. The gap waveguide is new, so it is expected that the project will result in scientific publications, possibly co-authored with the PhD students and researchers in the group. The agreement between Chase and the partner companies stimulates to such publications. Therefore, the position is well suited to build up merits for higher positions in research.
Required qualifications

Recent PhD in related areas such as design of antennas and components in waveguides.

– Main author of several scientific publications in journals and at conferences. Experience with EM software such as CST Microwave Studio, HFSS and similar.

– Experience with research on metamaterials such as soft and hard surfaces and similar.

– Experience with practical design and measurements of antennas and waveguide components.

Fellowship Application Deadline: 2011-01-15
