Admission requirements :Applications must be filled using the online application.Complete information on how to enrol will be published in late March.The notification of the results is considered as delivered through the announcement of the list.The successful applicants will not receive personal communications of their results.Recognition of Academic Titles :In order to apply for this call your academic titles DO NOT need to have been officially recognised by Italian authorities.Official recognition is not provided by the University, it is a governmental procedure which needs to be undertaken by the person concerned.

If you have already had your titles recognised in the past as equivalent to an Italian Degree, you should state it in your application, indicating the Italian Rector’s Decree recognising equivalence number (given by Italian authorities).
Candidates who have a foreign degree that has not been officially recognised as equivalent to the Italian degree must upload as attachment 2 (in the application Call form) an English translation, signed by the candidate, to enable the Doctoral School Committee to evaluate a possible equivalence.
PLEASE NOTE that in case you are accepted to the School you will be asked to provide (no later than the 10.11.2011) a Dicihiarazione di Valore issued by the Italian Embassy based in the country where the University that delivered your titles is from.Areas covered by the call include (but are not limited to) the following.

PhD Studentship in Food Technology, Sweden

Emulsifying substances act by contributing to the disruption of the droplets and by protecting the formed droplets from coalescing. To enable these actions the emulsifiers need to adsorb rapidly at the surfaces and form a protective layer. Starch nanocrystals of specific sizes and hydrophobicity will be designed and used as colloidal particles to generate and stabilise Pickering type emulsions. The aim is then to understand their function depending on size, shape, and hydrophobicity in relationship to the interface they are adsorbing to. The use of starch nanocrystals as emulsion stabilisers is novel, and finds practical use not only in pharmaceutical and food applications, but also in the paper industry. Furthermore, the almost irreversible adsorption of colloidal particles creates very stable emulsions in contrast to surfactant molecules.

Eligibility/Entry Requirements

The general eligibility requirement for doctoral studies is a university degree of at least 240 ECTS credits, including at least 60 credits at an advanced level. Furthermore you need a valid university degree at advanced level (MSc) within a relevant study program.

To be qualifield for researach education (PhD education) in Food Technology the candidate needs to have a Master of Science in Engineering, specialisation in Biotechnology, Chemical engineering or Ecological enigneering or Master of Science in Chemistry or other discipline relevant to the field of the degree project or other equivalent degree

2011-2012 Marie Tharp Fellowship at Columbia University, USA: Earth Science

/ March 14, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Earth Institute and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University invite applications for the Marie Tharp Fellowship 2011-2012. This fellowship is part of a greater EI/LDEO effort at promoting the advancement of women scientists. The purpose of the award is to provide an opportunity for earth scientists to conduct research at Columbia University for a period of 3 months.  Fellows will have an opportunity to work with faculty, research staff, post docs, and graduate students during their fellowship. Each fellow is expected to participate in EI/LDEO activities and make a scientific presentation during their residence.The duration of the Marie Tharp Fellowship is for 3 months over the period September 2011 through August 2012. Fellows are encouraged to visit for three consecutive months, but they may choose to take their fellowship in two separate visits. The fellowship must be taken in residence at one of the earth science units of the Earth Institute (see end for complete list of eligible units) and will provide up to $30,000 for support of the fellow during the three-month period.
Background: The fellowship is named after Marie Tharp, who was the first to map details of the ocean floor on a global scale. She published the pivotal interpretation of mid-ocean ridges that was crucial to the eventual acceptance of the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift. Tharp came to the Lamont Geological Observatory (now the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory), where she began work on mapping the ocean floor. Her map of the ocean floor is still a foundation for research and education in the ocean sciences.
Eligibility:  The competition is open to junior and mid-career scientists in the earth sciences. Applicants must hold a Ph.D. at the time of application. The goal of this award is to promote women in science. Faculty (full-time or adjunct) and researchers at Columbia University are not eligible to apply.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 31 March 2011
