Post Doctoral | Scholarship for Nigerians and Africans - Part 46

2011 Postdoctoral Fellowship in Laser Spectroscopy, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands

/ February 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

You will study the dynamics of excitons and charge carriers with femto second and nanosecond pump-probe laser techniques, including microwave and terahertz conductivity measurements. In addition, high-energy electron pulses may be used to specifically generate charges. You will study to what extent photo excitation of the polymer leads to generation of excitons and free charges. The relation between material structure and charge mobility will be investigated. Exciton diffusion and dissociation into mobile charges will be studied for blends of the polymers with electron acceptors. The research will provide information about the mechanism of motion of excitons and charges.
Candidates must have a PhD degree in physics or chemistry, and ideally have experience with time-resolved spectroscopy.

Postdoctoral Fellowships in Translational Neuroscience of Drug Abuse, Center for Addictive Behaviors, Sweden

/ February 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

The UCLA Translational Neuroscience of Drug Abuse (TNDA) Program set forth to link several successful UCLA research centers by establishing a unified training program. Each spring applications are accepted for both pre and postdoctoral fellowships (12-month, renewable appointments).
The program is funded by a NIDA T32 Training Grant and provides trainees with the integrative knowledge base needed to conduct bidirectional translational studies including cutting-edge technical laboratory methods, computational approaches in data evaluation, and issues related to ethical treatment of human subjects.  TNDA trainees will have a research project in a specific mentor’s laboratory, but will gain exposure to other areas of drug abuse research through laboratory rotations, common core training elements as well as by formal and informal interaction among key faculty and TNDA leadership. Successful researchers must also become adept at identifying sources of research funding and at preparing fundable applications that can further their independent investigation.  TNDA trainees will receive didactic training and mentoring in these important areas, with emphasis on skills in scientific writing and presentation to enhance dissemination of research findings.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 April 2011

Postdoctoral Fellowships “Urban Geography”, Germany

/ February 24, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Max Planck Institute in Göttingen, Germany, seeks to appoint three post-doctoral research fellows in Urban Geography, each for three years. The geographers will be employed to conduct research respectively in the following locations: New York (likely Astoria in Queens), Johannesburg (likely Hillbrow) and Singapore (likely Jurong West).

Post-docs will undertake two months of project training in Germany before residing in the respective project city for the duration of the project, will undertake site visits to all Globaldivercities project sites, and will participate in a final international conference in Germany. Prof. Vertovec will manage the project through site visits, team meetings in various locations and video-conferences. The entire team will have input towards film-making, and all project members will be encouraged and supported to develop their own publications as well as to contribute to collective publications.

Requirements
Applicants should hold a PhD in Geography and have a track record of research (and ideally publication) regarding urban contexts. In addition to English, language competence in a relevant language (i.e., likely to be spoken among some immigrants in the given location) will be an advantage, as will knowledge and experience of one of the project cities.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 25 February 2011
