Faculty for the Future is accepting applications for 2011 Fellowships from September 1st to November 30th 2010 The Faculty for the Future program, launched in 2004, awards fellowships to women from developing and emerging economies to pursue PhD or post-doctoral studies in the physical sciences and related disciplines at top universities abroad. The Faculty for the Future program grows each year and has become a powerful community that today stands at 142 pioneering women scientists from 43 countries. Ultimately these women return home to become leaders, to strengthen their faculties, contribute to the socio-economic development of their countries and serve as powerful role models to attract more young women into the sciences. Faculty for the Future grants are in the range of USD 25,000 to 50,000 per year and may be renewed through to completion of studies subject to performance, self-evaluation, and recommendations from supervisors. Final grant amounts are agreed with award recipients subject to actual costs of study and living in the given location. | | Register to read more... |

The UK Theoretical Chemistry Summer School is aimed at providing a broad-based introduction to key concepts and techniques that underpin research in theoretical and computational chemistry. The School is generously sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC), and supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry. When is it?The Summer School will take place between the 5th and 17th of September 2010. The deadline for applications is the 14th of May 2010. Where is it?The Summer School lectures will take place in the Department of Chemistry with accommodation and meals in St. Catherine's College, Oxford Who should come to it?The School is designed for postgraduate students in theoretical or computational chemistry, or those with a joint interest in theory and experiment, typically in their first or second years of research. Who pays for it?The number of places at the School is naturally limited. Attendance is free for students at UK Universities who hold EPSRC studentships or who would otherwise qualify for EPSRC funding. A limited number of full cost places may be available for other students.

| 50 (3 votes, average 5.00 out of 5) | Tuesday, 03 February 2009 00:00 | The department of Bioengineering is a 5* research rated department based at South Kensington and has a strong track record in areas such as Physiological Mechanisms, Biomedical Systems, and Neurotechnology. Its thriving PhD community, large undergraduate population, and strongly multi-disciplinary academic staff build an ideal scientific and internationally competitive environment for our PhD programme. We invite applications for two Research Council funded (BBSRC) studentships to start in October 2009. One of the studentships will be industry supported (CASE). | | Register to read more... |

A fully funded PhD position in the theory of soft active materials is available at the Department of Mathematics, University of Bristol for UK/EU students, starting in October 2009 (though an earlier start is possible). The project is part of an international collaboration and will require the student to spend a significant amount of time in the USA (Syracuse, NY) as well as to make a number of trips to Stellenbosch, South Africa. | | Register to read more... |
