PhD Scholarship in Soil Science, KNUST, Ghana

/ March 9, 2011 Leave a Comment

The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science KNUST is located in Kumasi, the second largest city in Ghana and in the rich cultural environment of the Ashanti kingdom. The University recognizes the study of Science and Technology as an essential part of its cultural heritage. The University staff value experiential instruction using modern laboratory and field approaches to develop knowledge and skill. The University respects diversity of people and offers equal opportunities to males and females for challenges and self-development.
With the support of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), KNUST has developed and will run a 4 year coursework and research PhD programme in Soil Science. The programme will be hosted in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences in the Faculty of Agriculture.
The main goal of this new PhD programme at KNUST is to develop and strengthen regional human and institutional capacity to develop innovative and adaptable technologies for halting the rapid soil degradation to improve agricultural productivity in Africa.

Eligibility:
Applications must be nationals of the following West African countries— Ghana, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Nigeria.
Scholarships:
AGRA will grant scholarships to some selected candidates on competitive basis. Female candidates will be given priority for scholarship awards. This is a scholarship that covers tuition, and attractive packages for accommodation, book allowance, stipend, and research cost from the program. These details will be provided in the final award letters to successful candidates.

PhD in Experimental Nanobioscience and Dairy Research,University of Southern Denmark, Denmark

/ March 7, 2011 Leave a Comment

A PhD scholarship in experimental nanobioscience and dairy research is available at the Department of Physics and Chemistry (IFK) from 15 May, 2011 – 15 May, 2014.The position is associated with the MEMPHYS-Center for Biomembrane Physics with collaborators at NanoSYD (ALSION, SDU), Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB, SDU) and LIFE (KU).Outstanding candidates with a strong background in nanobioscience, biophysics, bioimaging, or related fields are invited to apply. Experience with the characterization of soft nanoparticles and nanostructures will be an advantage. The candidate will be involved in a highly interdisciplinary project devoted to the characterization of casein micelles and other soft nanostructures in dairy samples. The project will focus on high resolution imaging and establishing a link between nanostructure and derived product function.

The successful candidate will be required to perform experiments at SDU (Odense, DK) as well as NanoSYD (Sønderborg, DK). The successful candidate will be enrolled in the Graduate School of Molecular Biophysics at the University of Southern Denmark.Appointment as a PhD Research Fellow is for three years. Employment stops automatically at the end of the period. The holder of the scholarship is not allowed to have other paid employment during the three-year period.

Colt Foundation Fellowships in Occupational/Environmental Health 2011, UK

/ March 7, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Foundation awards Fellowships each year to persons who are qualified in science or medicine who are carrying out research within the area of occupational and environmental health at a UK university. The Fellowship is normally for three years and the research is expected to lead to a PhD degree. Prospective students should apply to Mrs Jackie Douglas, address below, and should include an outline of the proposed research which demonstrates the occupational content of their work, a CV, a detailed letter of support from the proposed supervisor and the contact details of two referees. The application must be submitted by the student personally and not by their supervisor on their behalf, although it is expected that the supervisor will have an input to ensure that the project can lead to a successful PhD. Fellowships are awarded in competition, and the outline must therefore contain sufficient detail to enable the Selection Panel to determine that the work has been well-designed, the work is worthwhile and can be completed in the three-year period, and to enable the Panel to decide which students should be interviewed. The stipend rate for the first year is £12,000 (£13,000 inside London), rising with inflation for the following two years. UK fees will be paid as incurred, together with a sum to cover research expenses. The grant does not attraction any taxation.

Scholarship Application Dedaline:17th October 2011
