Erasmus Mundus Masters Scholarship in Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry

The ASC network aims at preparing students to become experts and develop international skills towards doctoral studies, and/or professional industrial careers in chemical analysis and characterization of the structure of materials.
A mobility scheme ensures that, in addition to high specialization and access to state of the art technologies, students will do a common core curriculum of studies in different higher education institutions throughout Europe.

This ASC master programme will:
-guarantee quality (all partners have official accredited Masters in chemistry)
– Allow students access to techniques not available locally (mutualisation of the equipment)
-provide a sound background in Advanced Spectroscopy, both in experimental techniques and in scientific knowledge;
-promote students mobility within a network of research laboratories spread amongst countries from a large area of Europe in an environment where they will be well looked after.prepare students to become experts in far reaching experimental techniques in Spectroscopy.
-help and prepare students to develop skills to follow future doctoral studies, and/or towards professional activities.

The originality of this programme is to allow students to choose their research master thesis in one highly specialized field according to their professional objectives. The high level of equipments available in the consortium is unique.

Scholarship Application Deadline: January 14th, 2011

International Bioinformatics Training Program for Health Research

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
