Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation Postgraduate Scholarships in Film, Visual & Performing Arts 2011/12, UK

/ February 28, 2011 Leave a Comment

The School of Arts at the University of Kent, with the support of the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation, has a scholarship available for the 2010/11 academic year, for a Hong Kong resident graduate studying any of our taught Film MA programmes-1.MA Film Studies 2. MA Film Studies (Paris)
The scholarship will pay £15,000 over one year, which will contribute to tuition fees and accommodation.The School of Arts is home to an exciting postgraduate community, engaged in a wide variety of innovative, quality, interdisciplinary research. Our 2008 Research Assessment Exercise submission was amongst the largest and most successful departments in our research area. The studentship competition is open to any Hong Kong graduate or mainland resident with a First Degree in an Arts subject or related subject from a Hong Kong University, intending to study for a full time taught MA in the School of Arts.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 July 2011

PhD or Postdoctoral Positions in Physics at Leiden University, Netherlands

/ February 28, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Leiden Institute of Physics is the oldest physics department in the Netherlands, with a long tradition of excellence in fundamental research. The current spectrum of research comprises subjects in condensed matter physics, nanoscience and nanotechnology, (bio-)molecular physics, quantum optics, cosmology & astroparticle physics, and the physics of biological and soft matter. The institute fosters an international atmosphere with strong interactions among the various groups as well as with other departments at the Faculty of Sciences.
We have developed a unique vacuum scanning tunneling microscope ( STM) that enables the observation of (polycrystalline) film growth in-situ and in real-time during the deposition [1]. Its special pivoting and rotating mechanism ensures the alignment of the deposition beam between the tip and the sample. In addition, this microscope is especially designed for high-speed imaging, which allows to record movies [2]. Within the framework of this project, we will use this microscope with the aim to unravel the underlying atomic processes that play a role in the morphology evolution both during film growth and after the deposition.For this position, we are searching for an ambitious candidate with a recent M.Sc. degree in physics. The ideal applicant has
•experience with Scanning Probe Microscopes, preferable STM,
•experience with vacuum setups,
•background knowledge in fundamental surface science and material science,
•and a strong affinity and experience with the operation of complex instrumentation.
Furthermore you have excellent communications skills in English, both written and verbal, and are expected to master the Dutch language sufficiently.


Scholarship Application Deadline: before March 2011

2011 Scholarship in Biorobotics, University of Bielefeld, Germany

/ February 28, 2011 Leave a Comment

The positions are remunerated 50% of E13 (according to TV-L West, German public service). The salary scale typically ranges between 19200 and 22400 Eur p.a., depending on work experience.The positions on offer are embedded into an excellent interdisciplinary environment with intensive contacts to various facilities and workgroups of Bielefeld University. In particular, this includes the Center of Excellence in Cognitive Interaction Technology, CITEC. The EU-project (www.emicab.eu) as a whole is formed by the Biomechatronics lab and the Neuroethology lab of Bielefeld University (coordinator), a Systems Engineering lab at the University of Catania, Italy, a Sensor Technology lab at the University of Southern Denmark in Sønderborg, and a Neurogenetics lab at the University of Mainz, Germany.
The position is in the area of Neuroethology/Biomechanics. The successful candidate should hold a master or diploma degree, preferably in biology or neuroscience. Advanced experimental and theoretical skills in Neurobiology (sensorimotor systems) and/or Biomechanics (whole-body kinematics, force measurements) are advantageous as well as sound experience in the analysis of multi-dimensional data. Candidates with a background in a related area within the computer sciences (e.g. bio-inspired robotics) are also encouraged to apply. Participation in administrative and organizational tasks of the EU-project is also expected. The position is suited to conduct a PhD-project.

Bielefeld University is an equal opportunity employer and therefore especially encourages women to apply. In the case of comparable competences and qualification, women will preferably be considered if there are no dominating reasons arising from the person of another applicant. Bielefeld University also encourages disabled people to apply. Part-time employment is possible.

Scholarship Application Deadline:15, March 2011.
