Scholarship for Nigerians and Africans
This service provides information on Scholarships, Grants, Fellowships opportunities at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels including Research Institutions for Nigerians and Africans
For students applying for a Master’s programme at Linköping University, Sweden, there will be one hundred LiU InternationalScholarships resulting in a fee waiver of up to 50 per cent of the tuition fee. No separate scholarship application is needed. A qualifying academic background opens educational opportunity in natural sciences, technology, social and educational sciences, and the humanities.
Scholarship Application Deadline: 17 January 2011
Please note that if you are not accepted into this scholarship program, you must find your own supervisor from the mentor/faculty list.
Graduate Studies in Bioinformatics
If you are majoring in one of the following areas:
* biological discipline (biology, genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, medicine)
* quantitative science (computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering, statistics)
If you have significant experience in a second one of these fields, and strong academic qualifications, the Strategic Training Program in Bioinformatics might be what you’re looking for. You can study in Vancouver, BC, Canada for a Masters or a Ph.D.
The Strategic Training Program in Bioinformatics is a partnership among Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia, and the BC Cancer Research Centre, and is sponsored by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (MSFHR) and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
In addition to academic course work, students will conduct research rotations in both computational and biologically-oriented laboratories, and the program’s mentors will personally guide your progress.
Scholarship Application Deadline: for international applications is February 4, 2011 and for Canadian and American applications is March 4, 2011
Candidates should have experience in one or more of the following areas: image processing, scientific visualization, pattern recognition
Study Subject: Computer Science
Employer: University of Groningen
Level: PhD
Scholarship Description: In many scientific areas one increasingly makes use of images where each pixel holds a matrix or tensor value. This project addresses the development of a solid mathematical and algorithmic framework for connectivity-based morphological filtering and visualization of tensor images. The goal is to extend (hyper)connected, adaptive and multiscale morphological filters to tensor images. Tensor images contain a wealth of information which allows adaptive directional steering of morphological image operators. As the image data sets can grow to very large sizes, the development of efficient algorithms for the new filters is an important part of the project. A prime application area is medical imaging of the brain, where diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging enables the in-vivo exploration of nerve fiber bundles. We will collaborate with neuroscience researchers to explore the potential of the new morphological filters for brain connectivity analysis.
