/ January 31, 2011 Leave a Comment

The EUROSA group awards 88 grants in total to support South African mobility to Europe at master, PhD and staff level. The duration of the mobility periods may vary from 1 to 34 months according to type and level of mobility. Grants include a monthly allowance, health insurance, tuition fees (if applicable) and travel costs from South Africa to Europe.

Who can apply?

· South African nationals only
· master students, PhD students and staff studying or working at one of the South African partner institutions (= TARGET GROUP 1)
· master students and PhD students a) registered at one of the South African universities that are not part of the EUROSA network or b) master students and PhD students having obtained a first diploma at a South African higher education institution (= TARGET GROUP 2)

The EUROSA group encourages the participation of historically disadvantaged, economically deprived, and disabled individuals with excellent academic potential.

University of Nottingham Phd Scholarship in Law 2011in UK

/ January 31, 2011 Leave a Comment

The School of Law invites applications for the following postgraduate research scholarships available from October 2011. These scholarships are for the equivalent of full HEU fees and maintenance, providing a total of around £17,000* per annum (* estimate including Home/EU fees of £3,732). Each scholarship is available for a period of one year initially, with the expectation of renewal for a further two years, subject to satisfactory performance in degree studies.

The School of Law at the University of Nottingham is consistently ranked amongst the leading law schools in the UK and is a world-ranked centre for legal research and teaching. The School of Law has been rated as excellent in both teaching and research and has achieved an excellent outcome in the 2008 RAE, being ranked 4th equal among UK law schools. The School returned 100% of its lecturers, associate professors and professors in the RAE. They are internationally recognised in their fields and active scholars and teachers.

Applications are considered for all scholarships (you do not need to make separate ones) and are awarded, in addition to any other criteria listed, below, on the grounds of academic merit. These scholarships are available in most areas of law in which the School is able to offer supervision and also interdisciplinary projects that have a legal aspect.

School of Law Open Scholarships
These scholarships are open to all students.

Nottingham LLM graduate Scholarship
This scholarship is open only to graduates of the LLM programme at the University of Nottingham, or those who will graduate from the LLM programme at the University of Nottingham in December 2011.

AHRC BGP Doctoral Award

PhD Position in Quantum Sensing, DTU, Denmark: Quantum optics

/ January 31, 2011 Leave a Comment

The project is a part of an international collaboration with the Max-Planck institute for the Science of light in Germany and Queensland University in Australia.

Spurred by the increasing demand on highly sensitive sensors in various sciences, optical systems that enable measurement precisions beyond what is possible with classical approaches by means of quantum technology are being intensely explored. Quantum sensing of various parameters beyond the standard classical limit have been achieved by a number of groups using quantum light, but all systems have been based on large bulk setups incompatible with real life applications. In this project we want to pursue a novel route to quantum sensing based on micro-cavities on a chip. The micro-cavities produce quantum light that can be used for the measurement of various quantities such as temperature, motion, position and rotation at sensitivities unreachable with conventional methods.

Qualifications:
* master degree within optics/photonics, physics or engineering or a similar degree with an equivalent academic level.
* background in quantum optics and micro-optics fabrication is an advantage.
* good communication skills in English – written and spoken.
* ability to work independently, and to be a part of a dynamical group.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 March 2011
