/ May 8, 2011 Leave a Comment

Applications are invited for a full-time scholarship available in the Lancashire Business School. The scholarship is tenable for up to 3 years for a PhD (via MPhil route) [subject to satisfactory progress] and is open to international applicants only. UK/EU applicants are not eligible to apply. The scholarship will provide £15000 towards the cost of the International tuition fee over 3 years. The aim of this PhD project is to analyse economic impacts of preferential trade agreements between the EU and the chosen developing countries. GLOBE computable general equilibrium model and the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) representation of Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database will be used to simulate various trade liberalisation scenarios, depending on the contents of the preferential trade agreements. The main focus will be on economic effects of such preferential trade agreements on developing economies. Depending on the applicant’s research interests, developing countries chosen can either be i-)Latin American, ii-) African or Asian economies. When deciding about the developing countries, the student needs to make sure that they are in Global Trade Analysis Project’s (GTAP) database, which is the main database that will be used for this project. Applicants will need to justify their choice of developing countries during the application and interview processes. They will produce a research proposal of not more than 2,000 words that outline and justify the proposed research question, identify any additional data requirements and detail the proposed work programme.

International PhD Scholarship, Lancashire Business School, UK

/ May 4, 2011 Leave a Comment

The scholarship is tenable for up to 3 years for a PhD (via MPhil route) [subject to satisfactory progress] and is open to international applicants only. UK/EU applicants are not eligible to apply. The scholarship will provide £15000 towards the cost of the International tuition fee over 3 years.
The aim of the research is to investigate and develop a decision-support system (based on RFID, real-time location and wireless communication) capable of informing command and control centres of fire fighters (and other emergency personnel and equipment) that have been despatched to an incident. The system will also allow command and control centres to manage the resources deployed. The work will involve collaboration with some Emergency Services in the UK and the University of Central Lancashire. Although the ultimate goal of the larger research is to develop a robust and versatile system (hardware, firmware and software) that can be deployed in general emergency situations, the aspect that is the subject of this advertisement will focus specifically on applications of the technology to fire services and will address the following tasks and associated challenges:
– Developing a device management and event processing platform/system that integrates the edge (incident frontline) and the back-end (the workflow foundation).
– Development of a management system that will allow the allocation of resources in a mobile and dynamic command and control environment.
– Creating a declarative emergency rules engine for the purpose of inferring, correlating, and executing emergency decisions based on incoming real-time event traffic.
Applicants should have, or expect to receive, a qualification equivalent to a high class UK honours degree.

Scholarship Application Deadline:Friday 13 May 2011 5pm British Summer Time
