Huguenot Scholarship Programme in History at University of London 2011 in UK

/ February 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

This scholarship of up to £2,500 is awarded by the Trustees of the French Huguenot Church of London Charitable Trust, on the advice of the Institute of Historical Research.

The award will be made to a student working for a higher degree on a Huguenot subject, i.e. the study of any activity of the French, the Dutch, the Flemish or the Walloon Protestants from the 16th century to the present, in any geographical area. “Activity” will be interpreted in the widest sense.Candidates should ensure that they supply, in addition to their application, two confidential references from academic referees in sealed envelopes.Application forms are available from the Fellowship Office, Institute of Historical Research, University of London, Senate House, London, WC1E 7HU.Please submit this form, together with a one page C.V. and a description of your PhD thesis or MA dissertation (up to 1,000 words).

Scholarship Application Deadline: 15 April 2011

MPhil in Friction Joining for Low Energy Transport Applications, UK

/ February 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

The transport industry continuously seeks design and manufacturing solutions that enable lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This includes hybrid structures involving different material classes (steel, titanium, aluminium and magnesium) and different material forms (rolled sheet, castings, and laminates). This project will focus on novel friction joining technologies for dissimilar material systems (friction stir, friction stir spot, and ultrasonic welding). It is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research
Council, EPSRC, and is in collaboration with Manchester University Materials Science

Centre.
The research in Cambridge will focus on development of process models for metal flow and heat flow in friction processing, using finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics. Key challenges are:
– to develop and model a simple test rig to determine the material deformation response at the high temperatures and strain-rates characteristic of friction processing;
– to develop computationally efficient process models to optimise tool designs and welding conditions in dissimilar alloy joints;
– to develop a new process model for ultrasonic spot welding.

The Manchester group will be responsible for making the instrumented test welds on their in-house friction stir and ultrasonic welding machines, and for the detailed characterisation and modelling of microstructure evolution and interface reactions. Both groups will undertake mechanical testing of a range of joint geometries and material combinations.

The project will involve close collaboration with a current PhD student in Cambridge, and frequent visits to the project partners in the University of Manchester. Continuation to a PhD may be possible subject to available funding and satisfactory progress.

Background Required:
Applicants should have a 1st or 2.1 degree in Engineering, Manufacturing or Engineering Materials. Some previous experience of numerical modelling would be preferred.

Scholarship Application Deadline:1 March 2011

NRF Clean Energy Company Scholarships, Singapore: Science and Research

/ February 16, 2011 Leave a Comment

This scheme allows for CEPO and companies to jointly fund local scholarships for clean energy Research and Coursework Masters and PhDs. The scheme will help to ensure an adequate supply of CE trained postgraduates for companies as they expand their businesses.

Eligibility Criteria for Companies
Companies to be considered for this programme should be key companies that have a reputation for, or that can demonstrate, professional personnel management to ensure that the scholars are gainfully employed. The companies should preferably be well-established and have a sizeable operation in Singapore or are considering new investments / projects in Singapore.

Branding
Joint NRF (Clean Energy) Company Scholarships, would be branded as the NRF (Clean Energy)-(“company name”) Scholarships.

Bond
The scholars would be bonded to work at the participating company either at the company’s local operations (for foreign/local companies) and/or overseas operations (for Singapore companies) upon graduation. The bond period would be 2 years for local Masters and 3 years for local PhDs.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications are open throughout the year. Interested companies are advised to contact EDB for further discussions.
