PhD Scholarship

/ October 18, 2010 Leave a Comment

Students who are applying for this scholarship must have Knowledge and experience in the fields of optical measurement techniques would be advantageous

Study Subject: Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Applied Physics

Employer: Delft University of Technology, Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering

Level: PhD

Scholarship Description: CO2 capture and storage (CCS) is one of the leading options for the short-term reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, the CO2 capture step accounts for 75% of the cost of the CCS chain and leads to a significant increase in energy usage. Therefore, more efficient CO2 capture technologies are required. Absorption is the most mature technology for CO2 capture today; however, this process is not yet fully understood. It is a major challenge to separate the effects of mass transfer from chemical reaction kinetics. Therefore, in this project, a Raman-spectrocopy-based set-up will be developed to investigate the equilibrium condition as well as the transient CO2 absorption process. The PhD project will focus on the development of the measurement set-up and measuring cells, as well as the experimental investigation of the absorption process. By incorporating the measurement results, thermodynamics and chemistry, further information about the diffusion process as well as the reaction kinetics should be gained. A significant part of the project is being carried out at the Chair for Technical Thermodynamics (LTT) of Prof. André Bardow (RWTH Aachen University).

Requirements

Applicants should have an MSc in the area of mechanical engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, or applied physics. Knowledge and experience in the fields of optical measurement techniques would be advantageous. Fluency in English is an additional requirement.

Scholarship for Undergraduates Students Majoring in Engineering, Science & Technology

/ October 8, 2010

MTN Nigeria Foundation

Science & Technology Scholarship Scheme (2nd Phase)

Application for Scholarship

The MTN Nigeria foundation Limited by Guarantee (MTNF Ltd/ Gte) was established, by MTN Nigeria Communications Limited, in July 2004 to drive MTN Nigeria’s Corporate Social Investment (CSI) initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life in communities across the country.

Project Description and Location

The MTN Nigeria Foundation provides financial support to 500 eligible Science & Technology students in accredited educational public universities, polytechnics and colleges of education across the six geo-political zones in Nigeria annually. This scholarship award covers tuition, book allowance and stipend (pocket allowance). The scholarship award is worth N200, 000.00 (Two hundred Thousand Naira only) per student for the duration of an academic year and is paid at the beginning of each academic session. The scholarships may be renewed provided recipients maintain a minimum CGRA of 3.5 or its equivalent (second class upper/upper credit). Application for the 2010/2011 session is now open and successful application will receive their awards at the beginning of 2010/2011 academic year.

Project Objectives

The MTN Foundation seeks to attract high calibre full time students into the science and technology sector. The scholarship is intended to provide assistance to those students who might otherwise be unable to fulfill their educational financial obligations and to reward and recognize superior academic performance.

Geographical Coverage

Scholarships will be made available to qualified and successful candidates from all States of the Federation including the Federal Capital Territory (FGT).

Postgraduate scholarships for graduate students

/ September 28, 2010 1 Comment

Postgraduate scholarships for graduate students in the field of science and engineering at Australian tertiary institutions

Job Description: : A full-time postgraduate students for research leading to the award of a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).By doing your doctorate with CSIRO you will have access to world-class facilities and work alongside Australia’s leading research scientists.

PhD students at CSIRO are co-supervised by a university, allowing students to maintain and develop their university connections while being exposed to research in a working environment.

CSIRO offers full and top-up three year Postgraduate Scholarships to high quality students who are enrolled in a PhD at an Australian University.

Top up scholarships are available to those doctoral students who gain or expect to gain an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) or equivalent university award. In some circumstances full scholarships may also be available.

Recipients of Postgraduate Scholarships are generally required to be Australian citizens or have permanent residency status.

However, in fields in which there is a national skill shortage, scholarships may be awarded to overseas candidates, provided they are prepared to seek permanent residency during the studentship. International students must be able to provide evidence of admission to an Australian university.

CSIRO’s National Research Flagship Program also offers full and top-up scholarships.

How to apply

Scholarships are available throughout the year and are advertised nationally in major newspapers and on CSIRO’s Positions Vacant. Scholarships are offered as follows:

CSIRO’s corporate Honours and Postgraduate Scholarship Program offers Honours, Top-up and full PhD scholarships which are advertised in October/November each year.
