School of Advanced Study Doctoral Studentships, University of London, UK: Medical Study

/ April 14, 2011 Leave a Comment

The School offers its own Studentships for research (doctoral) degree study (MPhil/PhD). In 2011-12 we expect to offer up to two research (doctoral) degree Studentships, for commencing October 2011. he School Studentships are funded at the full UK Research Council rate for London-based students. In addition to fees, the rates for maintenance in 2010-11 are given below as a guide: Research students: £15,590 full-time and £9,355 part-time. It is not at present clear whether this will increase or remain the same for 2011-12.  Students assessed for fees at the overseas rate will be required to pay the difference between the Overseas and Home/EU fee. Only if you have been offered a place by the Institute in which you wish to study, and you have accepted it, are you eligible to submit an application for funding. Eligible students can apply both for AHRC and School doctoral studentships using the combined application form. Students applying to all funding strands need only complete one form.
Eligibility: School Doctoral Studentships cover fees and maintenance allowance at the full UK Research Council rate for London-based students. Studentships can be awarded to Home/EU or Overseas students and can be for full-time or part-time study. Only those students beginning their first year of study in 2011/12 are eligible.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 27 May 2011

University of Dublin Trinity College PhD studentship in Physics (Photonics), Ireland

/ April 13, 2011 1 Comment

Applications are sought from suitably qualified candidates to undertake research towards a PhD degree in Physics. The candidates must ne citizens of European Union, have a first-class or upper second-class honours degree in Physics or a related discipline before the studentship begins and will work under the supervision of Prof. Eithne McCabe in the School of Physics in Trinity College Dublin. This training programme will include advanced specialized courses in Years 1 and 2, and students will benefit from the courses in Innovation and Entrepreneurship and generic skills training offered by the Innovation Academy. This PRTLI5-funded structured PhD programme integrates with existing research strengths of the School of Physics.
The project will involve novel imaging using surface plasmons. For more than a century the emphasis has been on diffraction limited resolution. In recent years many exciting, new approaches have emerged in terms of both imaging on the nanoscale and using nanoparticles to highlight charcateristics of a sample. The optical characteristics of many systems can be significantly enhanced by plasmonics. They promise to have a major impact in many areas of nanoscience including photonic electronics where surface plasmon polaritons offer promise in the miniaturisation of photonis circuits. This project will investigate the physics and applications of plasmonics in novel imaging environments.
The studentship, with a stipend of €16,000 per annum, is available from September 2011.

Scholarship Application Deadline:30 April 2011

JRF, SRF and RA Positions at Translational Health Science And Technology Institute, India

/ April 13, 2011 Leave a Comment

Translational Health Science And Technology Institute (THSTI) is an autonomous Institute of the Department of Biotechnology under the Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India. THSTI has been developed as a part of the interdisciplinary Health biotech Science cluster to be located at Faridabad which is a part of the National Capital Region. The Institute is being mentored by globally recognized National Institute of Immunology (NII) and the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Science and Technology (HMHST). THSTI is designed to be a dynamic and interactive organization with a mission to conduct innovative translational research and develop research collaborations across disciplines and professions to accelerate the development of concepts into tangible products to improve human health. The other members of the cluster include The Regional Centre of Biotechnology (RCB) under the aegis of UNESCO and the NII with which the THSTI will have a seamless collaboration to achieve the interdisciplinary expertise. The cluster will have access to the state of the art experimental animal facility and the platform technology center for the sophisticated instrumentation. The permanent laboratories of the centre will come up in Faridabad within 3 years. The interim laboratories of the centre are functioning from Gurgaon in the South of Delhi area with adequate housing, transportation and schooling facilities. Campus housing may be available when the centre moves to Faridabad.Vaccine and Infectious Disease Research Center (VIDRC) has been set up as a mission center of the THSTI to study infectious disease and pathogens with the aim to generate translational knowledge for developing prophylactic and therapeutic measures against diseases prevalent in India.
Eligibility: RA : Doctorate (PhD/MD) or an equivalent degree or 3 years of research experience after MVSc / MPharm.
SRF: Post Graduate Degree in Life Sciences with 2 years research experience or MBBS.
JRF: Post Graduate Degree in Life Sciences.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 26 April 2011
