Call for Proposals-Bilateral Research Cooperation with Vietnam (NAFOSTED) 2011, Netherlands

/ March 9, 2011 Leave a Comment

The FWO is very keen to promote international collaborations as a driving force for excellence. As part of the funding for bilateral research collaborations, the FWO concludes a bilateral agreement with a number of countries for the funding of joint research projects. These projects go one step further than the traditional exchange projects, because personnel can also be financed. One of the five countries selected is Vietnam. An agreement has been signed with the research fund NAFOSTED (National Foundation for Science and Technology) for the funding of new research projects.

Researchers can submit an application for a joint research project with a duration of 2 years. On Flemish side, the indicative budget per project and per year is about 70.000 EURO, which corresponds to the average size of a normal FWO research project. There is a total amount of 300.000 EURO available per year – the number of fundable projects is therefore about 4. NAFOSTED (Vietnam) has 350.000 EURO a year at its disposal for this collaboration, and aims at projects with an average size of 75.000 EURO.The exact dates for each call are decided on in consultation with the foreign partner and may vary. The forms are available online and should be sent by e-mail before the proposed deadline. An application must be submitted simultaneously to NAFOSTED in order to be admissible.

KOLUMB Fellowship Programme for Polish Postdoctoral Applicants: Bio, Information, Technology

/ March 9, 2011 Leave a Comment

The stipends are awarded for a stay at one research centre, or in justified instances more than one. Stipendees who would like to extend their stay abroad may seek additional funding, on a one-time basis (for 3 months at most), but the duration of the stipend may not exceed 15 months in any event.

To be eligible to apply for a stipend, researchers must:
* hold a doctorate
* file a stipend application no later than 4 years after obtaining the doctorate, which period is extended by 2 years in the case of: men who took documented paternity leave or childrearing leave for at least 3 months, or women who gave birth to a child or adopted a child, based on the birth certificate or adoption certificate

* hold Polish citizenship, or obtained in Poland a permit to settle or a permit for long-term residence in the European Union

Scholarship Application Deadline:1 March 2011 and the second deadline this year is 15 October 2011.

PhD or Postdoctoral Positions in Physics at Leiden University, Netherlands

/ February 28, 2011 Leave a Comment

The Leiden Institute of Physics is the oldest physics department in the Netherlands, with a long tradition of excellence in fundamental research. The current spectrum of research comprises subjects in condensed matter physics, nanoscience and nanotechnology, (bio-)molecular physics, quantum optics, cosmology & astroparticle physics, and the physics of biological and soft matter. The institute fosters an international atmosphere with strong interactions among the various groups as well as with other departments at the Faculty of Sciences.
We have developed a unique vacuum scanning tunneling microscope ( STM) that enables the observation of (polycrystalline) film growth in-situ and in real-time during the deposition [1]. Its special pivoting and rotating mechanism ensures the alignment of the deposition beam between the tip and the sample. In addition, this microscope is especially designed for high-speed imaging, which allows to record movies [2]. Within the framework of this project, we will use this microscope with the aim to unravel the underlying atomic processes that play a role in the morphology evolution both during film growth and after the deposition.For this position, we are searching for an ambitious candidate with a recent M.Sc. degree in physics. The ideal applicant has
•experience with Scanning Probe Microscopes, preferable STM,
•experience with vacuum setups,
•background knowledge in fundamental surface science and material science,
•and a strong affinity and experience with the operation of complex instrumentation.
Furthermore you have excellent communications skills in English, both written and verbal, and are expected to master the Dutch language sufficiently.


Scholarship Application Deadline: before March 2011
