AW Howard Memorial Trust Fellowship, Australia: Agricultural science, natural resource management, agricultural economics and social science

/ March 8, 2011 Leave a Comment

The A W Howard Memorial Trust Incorporated seeks applications from suitably qualified students in agricultural science, natural resource management, agricultural economics and social science who are intending to commence or have started approved post-graduate tertiary studies (Masters or Doctorate degrees) that relate to the development, management and use of pastures.

The A W Howard Memorial Fellowship will be awarded on a competitive basis and will provide an annual $5000 “top up” postgraduate stipend to the successful applicant tenable for a period of up to 3 years. The successful student will be recognised as the “A W Howard Fellow”.
The Fellowship is open to Australian post-graduate students enrolled or intending to enrol at any tertiary institution located in Australia, or students who have been continuously resident in Australia for 3 years immediately preceding the closing date of applications.
At the conclusion of the tenure of the award, the Fellow shall present to the Trust a report summarising his or her study, to be published in “Agricultural Science”, the Journal of the Australian Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology. The Fellow will also be asked to give an A W Howard Memorial Trust seminar on the work.

Research Position:Microwave Power Systems for Irradiating Bio-solids, UBC, Canada

/ March 8, 2011 Leave a Comment

We have a research opportunity for a talented graduate student (preferably PhD) interested in a multi-disciplinary research project in microwave power systems for heating bio-solids (residuals from sewage treatment plants) for enhanced energy (biogas) recovery. The student should have a strong background in electromagnetic theory and microwave engineering, and be interested in applying this knowledge to develop innovative waveguide structures for irradiating bio-solids. The student will be part of a multi-disciplinary research team and work with graduate students in environmental engineering who are developing innovative methods for treating organic waste from municipal and industrial sources. The research will involve theoretical work associated with the development of electro-thermal models for bio-solids, integrating these models into EM simulations of waveguide structures, and laboratory work to measure dielectric properties and implement microwave power systems.

Interested students should contact Professors Thomas Johnson (Electrical Engineering) or Cigdem Eskicioglu (Environmental Engineering) in the School of Engineering at UBC. Please include your resume/CV with a brief description of your research experience.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Contact employer, thomas.johnson-at-ubc.ca; cigdem.eskicioglu-at-ubc.ca

Fidler Research Grant is designed to encourage the development and dissemination of knowledge that has the potential to improve the experiences of college students in transition.  The grant is named in memory of Dr. Paul P. Fidler, a faculty member at the University of South Carolina, whose pioneering research on student learning and success had a vital impact on work being done to promote the success of all students in transition.Comprehensive Award Package
The Paul P. Fidler Research Grant award includes a cash stipend, travel to two national conferences, a presentation at a national conference, and priority consideration for publication. Specifically, the grant’s comprehensive award package includes:  Stipend of $5,000, payable either directly to individual researchers or through the researcher(s)’ institution(s). The Center will not pay institutional overhead or indirect costs. Travel to the 18th National Conference on Students in Transition, November 2011, at which the award will be presented. Travel to the 19th National Conference on Students in Transition, November 2012, at which the research findings will be reported. Priority consideration for publication by the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition
Eligibility: The Paul P. Fidler Research Grant competition is open to faculty, staff, graduate students who plan to conduct research on issues of college student transitions. Cross-institutional research teams are encouraged to apply for the Paul P. Fidler Research Grant. The following individuals are not eligible for the Paul P. Fidler Research Grant and may not be included as part of proposed research teams: National Resource Center staff and fellows; current members of the Center’s National Advisory Board; and students, staff, and faculty of the University of South Carolina system.
