Ogilvy Planning Fellowships Programme 2011: Advertising, Direct Communications, Sales Activation and Design

/ February 28, 2011 Leave a Comment

Interested in trends, culture and pyschology? Got a creative and strategic mind? Ogilvy UK is launching its first ever Planning Fellowship – a two year scheme that will deliver training and hands on planning experience in Advertising, Direct Communications, Sales Activation and Design. Planners. The agency catalysts. “The creativity behind the creativity” is how Norwegian Planner Henrik Habberstad describes this fascinating and complex role. “The best job in the world” is how Sarah Newman, APG Chair (and Ogilvy & Mather’s longest standing Planner) puts it. Whatever the definition, Planning is a role for the intellectually curious, lateral, out of the box thinkers and those with an enviable mix of left brain logic and right brain creative skills.
Subsequently, Planning could also be described as a role of contradictions as it’s completely imaginative and completely logical, totally subjective and totally objective, perfectly number-based and perfectly emotion-based.  Planners are happy to talk to business people and creative people and they are driven by the desire to discover.  The two main tasks of the Planner are to be the voice of the consumer and to become experts on the clients business.

Five PhD Studentship in Mathematics or Mathematical Statistics, Uppsala University, Sweden

/ February 28, 2011 Leave a Comment

The department conducts research and provides education at graduate and undergraduate level in broad areas of mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematical statistics and mathematical logic. We also have an active research group in financial mathematics, and Uppsala’s Centre for Interdisciplinary Mathematics is closely linked to the department. The number of employees is nearly 100, of which approximately 30 are doctoral students.

Duties: The duties of a PhD student are primarily directed at his/her own research education, which lasts 4 years. The job may also involve to a limited extent (maximum 20 %) other departmental duties, mainly related to teaching undergraduate courses – in which case the position may be extended to maximum 5 years. The salary level is set by the university regulations.

Required qualifications: In order to be employed as a doctoral student, the candidate will have to be admitted to the research education programme, and for this, his/her potential ability to pursue the programme is decisive. The applicant should have a master’s degree in mathematics or an equivalent, or at least in all likelihood obtain such a degree no later than 1 July 2011. He/she should have a good command of spoken and written English.

PhD Student Position in Medical Science in Research Group Molecular Tools, Sweden: medical and clinical genetics, bioinformatics, immunology, pathology, tumour biology, vascular biology

/ February 28, 2011 Leave a Comment

The department of immunology, genetics and pathology at Uppsala University (http://www.igp.uu.se) has a broad research profile, with several strong research groups in different fields of science, e.g. medical and clinical genetics, bioinformatics, immunology, pathology, tumour biology, vascular biology and method development. The department was founded to promote a closer collaboration between clinical and pre-clinical research and part of the activity is integrated with the clinics of genetics and pathology-cytology at the University Hospital, Uppsala. Rudbeck Laboratory has access to state-of-the-art technologies, with core facilities for cell analysis, confocal microscopy, DNA-sequencing and genotyping.

We look for you who want to study for a PhD degree in the field of molecular medicine. The main project will be to investigate if measurements of protein activity status provide advantages for cancer diagnostics (leukemia and circulating tumour cells). Protein activity is determined as protein interactions and post-translational modifications, using flow cytometry and microscopy. The work will also consist of development of new methods in molecular biology.

The successful candidate will devote most of the time towards his/her research level education. Other service activities within the department, e.g. education and administrative work can be included within the framework of the employment (maximum 20%).

Qualifications: The applicant should have an academic degree, e.g. MSc Pharm, or MSc Molecular Biology, or similar. Experience from experimental research, flow cytometry, immunostaining and PLA are considered as additional qualifications. Documented skills in oral and written English are required.

Scholarship Application Deadline:7 March, 2011,
