David Edge Studentship 2011, UK: Science and Technology

scholarshipnigeria / January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

The David Edge studentship provides support for a full-time student in either the MSc Science and Technology Policy and Management or the MSc Science and Technology Studies at the University of Edinburgh. The studentship is awarded by ISSTI in honour of the life and achievements of Dr David Edge (1932-2003).
The studentship covers the costs of the University UK/EU fees for the one-year full-time course plus research expenses. Applications are welcome from within or outside the European Union, but the studentship does not cover the full costs of fees for non-EU students.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 29 April 2011

European Masters on Advanced Robotics Scholarship: Robotics

scholarshipnigeria / January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

EMARO is an integrated Masters course conducted by: Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France), Warsaw University of Technology (Poland), and the University of Genova (Italy).
Objectives:
The Masters is designed to promote a high-quality educational offer in the area of advanced and intelligent robotics. After graduation the students will have mastered the different areas of robotics (Mathematical modeling, Control Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical design) in order to be able to deal with Robotics systems as a whole rather than just to concentrate on one particular area. The career prospects for EMARO graduates are very good as the proposed courses are relevant to today’s high technology society and because the current output of universities is insufficient to meet the demands of industry and research programmes. Students may take the master as a professional terminal degree, or join PhD programmes afterwards.
Duration and mobility:
The programme of study lasts two academic years (120 ECTS) split into four equally loaded semesters. The student has to spend the first two semesters in one institution and the second two semesters in another institution.

The Erasmus Mundus programme supports high-quality European Masters Courses, by providing attractive grants for students having excellent academic results from around the world (non European and European) to engage in postgraduate study at EMARO institutions. The application to an Erasmus Mundus scholarship is done through the classical student’s application procedure of EMARO. Please note that the number of applications must be limited to three Erasmus Mundus Masters Courses maximum. In the eventual case that a student applies to more than three EM Courses he/she will be excluded from the selection for an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship.

Scholarship Application Deadline:

Category A scholarships (application open from 5 October to 10 December 2010),
Western Balkan and Turkey window for 2011/2012 (application open from 5 October to 10 January 2011).
Category B scholarships (application open from 5 October till 20 January 2011).

Postdoctoral Position: Architecture and Circuit Design for Digital Logic based on Nanoelectromechanical Switch Devices, Switzerland

scholarshipnigeria / January 17, 2011 Leave a Comment

The traditional scaling of CMOS technology is increasingly constrained by power limitations (e.g., saturation of the clock frequency in microprocessors). Therefore the microelectronic industry is researching radically new devices that drastically improve the energy efficiency of microelectronic systems. One promising – still largely unexplored – technology is based on NanoElectroMechanical (NEM) switches which potentially offer significant improvements in energy efficiency. In this project, we investigate the viability of this technology by developing a competitive and manufacturable device, perform materials research to address inherent reliability issues, and develop tools and methodologies to build complex logic based on novel NEM switch devices.

To strengthen our team, we are seeking a highly motivated individual with very good interpersonal skills and a strong background in mixed-signal circuit design as well as in the design and implementation of MEMS/NEMS interface circuitry.
The successful candidate will have an important role in the system design of digital logic based on NEM switches. Hence we are seeking candidates having a thorough understanding of mixed-signal circuit design as well as a deep understanding the tools and methodologies used of in digital logic design. Basic knowledge in micro- and nanofabrication and interface circuitry to nanomechanical devices would be an additional asset.
Fellowship Application Deadline: 31/01/2011
