/ February 22, 2011 Leave a Comment

The UKCRC Centre for Diet and Activity Research (CEDAR) is one of 5 Centres of Excellence in Public Health Research. CEDAR is driven by the overall goal of developing effective public health interventions for changing population level diet and physical activity behaviours.
CEDAR invites applications for a number of Post Doctoral Research Associate positions. The roles will follow the model of the MRC Career Development Fellowship Scheme which provides post-doctoral scientists with a fixed term training position to improve their research and transferable skills.
Successful applicants will have completed doctoral studies in a relevant discipline and have a background or interest in public health research. The wide breadth of partners within CEDAR provides and excellent environment for research training and development.

Department of Science and Technology (DST) is implementing Technology Systems Programme aimed at technology development and transfer in identified niche areas. This programme supports activities at developing and integrating technologies to evolve technology systems both in the advanced/emerging areas and in traditional sectors/areas. Under the programme, feasibility of newer ideas/concept is assessed for their potential conversion into useful technology/product. One of the identified niche area under the programme relates to Innovative Civil Infrastructure Technologies.
The Project Proposals could be submitted for financial support by scientists/engineers/technologists working in academic institutions/registered societies/R&D institutions/laboratories having adequate infrastructure/facilities to carry out Technology Development work/prototype building. DST would encourage multi-disciplinary proposals envisaging network/collaboration of various institutes having diverse expertise and facilities for synergistic implementation of the projects. Expertise/Intellectual Property Right (IPR), Technology Transfer to Industry with PI/Institute may be highlighted. Prescribed format is available under TSD programme at DST website.

Two Full-Time PhD in Earth & Planetary Sciences, Australia: Earth & Planetary Sciences

/ February 16, 2011 Leave a Comment

Two full-time PhD Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarships (MQRES) are available in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences associated with successful ARC project DP110103284. Only one of these scholarships is available to a suitably qualified international student.
Recently, new work has discovered compelling evidence that amphibole plays a major role in magma processing at arcs, and therefore in the origin of the continental crust. It now appears that amphibole plays a major role in the differentiation of arc magmas and is therefore an important component of geochemical reservoirs in the mid-deep arc crust. This implication has very important consequences, such as determining the geochemical nature of the continental crust.
The students working on this project will carry out research at Macquarie University, but will have opportunities to interact with earth scientists involved in the project from the UK. The project uses a combined experimental, geochemical and petrological approach, but applicants are also invited to discuss their own research agendas. Funds will also be available for conferences and sample collection.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 28 February 2011
