Brotherton Research Scholarships in Chemistry, University of Leeds, UK: Industrial science, preferably industrial chemistry

The Brotherton Research Scholarship was established in 1931. The fund was bequeathed by the late Baron Brotherton of Wakefield to be devoted to research in some branch of industrial science, preferably industrial chemistry.
Eligibility: Please read this information carefully, as your application form will be automatically rejected if you do not meet ALL of the eligibility criteria listed below.Applicants MUST first submit a research degree study application form and be in receipt of a University BANNER ID Number[1] (Student ID number) to be eligible for a Brotherton Research Scholarship.  Applications without a valid University ID Number will be rejected.  These awards are only available to nationals from the UK and EU and are not open to applicants who are liable to pay academic fees at the international fee rate. Applicants must hold a First Degree at undergraduate level equivalent to at least a UK Upper Second Class Honours degree.  Applicants should either have graduated with the appropriate First Degree or be in their final year of study. Applicants whose first language is not English must meet the University’s English Language requirements.  Some Schools require a standard of English higher than the University minimum. These awards are not open to individuals who have already been awarded a Doctoral degree or equivalent qualification. Applicants must have attended a Leeds school for a period of at least 3 years immediately prior to entering university or higher education. Applicants must be children of British-born parents and must have been resident in Leeds for a period of at least 5 years.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 June 2011

Undergraduate Professional Scholarship Scheme 2011-12, Nepal: Engineering , Pharmacy , Agriculture, Dairy Technology and Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry

Embassy of India, Kathmandu invites applications on prescribed data-sheet from Nepalese nationals desirous of seeking admission to undergraduate courses in Medicine (MBBS under Self financing Scheme), Engineering (BE), Pharmacy (B.Pharma), Agriculture (B.Sc.Ag), Dairy Technology (B.Sc) and Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry (B.V.Sc. & AH) for the academic year 2011-12. A qualifying examination to select candidates for these courses will be held in Kathmandu and Birgunj on May 07, 2011 under the aegis of the Embassy. Nepalese Army medical candidates are also required to apply for this test through proper channel (i.e through NA Headquarters).

Eligibility Criteria: A candidate must have secured a minimum of 60% marks in aggregate and 50% marks in English in 10+2 or equivalent examination (Class XI marks not to be included) in addition to the eligibility specified against each of the below mentioned courses:

i)MBBS/B.Sc (Ag)/ BVSc & AH and B. Pharmacy: At least 60% each or more in Physics(P), Chemistry(C) and Biology(B) in 10+2 or equivalent examination for MBBS, B.Sc.(Ag) and BVSc & AH. For B. Pharmacy the candidate should have studied Mathematics at 10+2 level (Class XI marks not to be included).

ii)BE and B.Sc (Dairy Technology): At least 60% each or more in Physics (P), Chemistry(C) and Mathematics (M) in 10+2 or equivalent examination (Class XI marks not to be included).

iii) Candidates appearing in Plus 2 Examination during the year 2011 may also apply in anticipation of their results. Their selection will, however, depend on fulfilling the above criteria of eligibility.

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

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.
