NHMRC Career Development Fellowship in Cerebral Palsy Foundation 2011 in Australia

/ February 7, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Cerebral Palsy Foundation will support one Career Development Fellowship per year. The Foundation offers a range of grants to support research into the cure and prevention of cerebral palsy. More information can be gained about the Foundation’s research priorities on their website. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated commitment to, and track record in the prevention or cure of cerebral palsy research. The Cerebral Palsy Foundation may call upon the successful candidate to provide assistance with publicity, education and other events. It also requires acknowledgment of itssupport for the research in any publications or media publicity, and requires a copy of any published articles arising from the supported research.

These fellowships are offered through funding partnerships agreed between NHMRC and each partner organisation. They offer additional opportunities to researchers whose work is particularly relevant to the concerns and research interests of the partner organisations.

Co-funded fellowships are offered alongside other Career Development Fellowships. They are not alternative awards and have the same financial value as all other Career Development Fellowships.

Applicants who are interested in a co-funded award should indicate this by selecting the appropriate option on their Career Development Fellowship application form. Applicants may nominate more than one partnership organisation, and this is encouraged if the proposed research will be of interest to more than one partner organisation. Funding partners welcome opportunities to collaborate in supporting mutually beneficial research.

After all Career Fellowship applications have been assessed and evaluated by NHMRC Peer Review Panels, those which nominated co-funding partners are forwarded to the nominated partner organisations for their own evaluation and review. Partner organisations advise on those applications they wish to co-fund, with NHMRC deciding which applications proceed to funding based on the NHMRC Peer Review outcome and ranking for all applications.

All applications must be submitted electronically using NHMRC’s Research Grant Management System (RGMS). RGMS also provides an online Profile and CV function.This function is used when applying for all types of grants in RGMS. Relevant information from the Profile and CV will be uploaded automatically for the assessment process.

When completing the online application, applicants should refer to the Career Development Fellowships Advice and Instructions to Applicants.

Application Deadline: 31 March 2011

Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, UK

/ February 7, 2011 Leave a Comment

A three year PhD project (funded by an EPSRC research grant) is available, to be held in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) of the University of Cambridge. The successful candidate will play an integral role in a wider project considering the prediction of noise generation by large aeroengines for passenger aircraft. The wider project involves researchers at the Cambridge University Whittle Laboratory and Cranfield University. The successful candidate will be supervised by Professor Nigel Peake in DAMTP.

The PhD project will involve the application of a wide range of analytical, asymptotic and numerical techniques to study the generation of sound inside the aeroengine and its propagation to the environment. Particular aspects of the project will focus on turbomachinery noise and its scattering downstream by the jet. Peake leads an active research group in DAMTP working in this area, and together with colleagues in Cambridge has strong industrial links with Rolls Royce plc.

Applicants should have (by the start of the project) a 4-year honours degree (at least II.I or equivalent) or Masters in Mathematics, or in a cognate discipline with high mathematical content. Although a background in fluid mechanics and wave theory would undoubtedly be helpful, it is more important for the student to have an enthusiasm for using sophisticated mathematical techniques to understand real-world problems. The studentship offers tuition fees, (at the home/EU level) a stipend for three years equivalent to the standard EPSRC funding level, and support for travel. The studentship is not available to citizens of non-EU countries. However, the stipend is payable to any EU candidate, even those not eligible for conventional departmental studentship maintenance awards from the EPSRC.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 14 February 2011
