University of Queensland Scholarships in Paediatric Intensive Care Telemedicine, Australia

Job No.: 491822

Area: Faculty Of Health Sciences

Salary: Research Scholar BAND

Work type: Full Time - Scholar

Location: Herston

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

Seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated PhD student to contribute to research in Paediatric Intensive Care Telemedicine.

The School of Medicine is a leading provider of medical education and research in Queensland, with the country's largest graduate entry, integrated, case-based/PBL four year MBBS Programs and a wealth of research programs. The School of Medicine is a diverse enterprise operating over multiple sites, with Queensland Health and private health service providers as major partners. Geographically, the School extends throughout Queensland and overseas with major sites in Brisbane and a number of rural and remote area facilities throughout the rest of the state. New Clinical Schools are being developed from the north of the Sunshine Coast, through central Brisbane and west to Ipswich.


The role
We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated PhD student to work within a project team of clinicians and academic researchers. The student will investigate the potential benefits of telemedicine in the care of critically ill children. This is an important but under-researched field and the student will have the opportunity to make an important contribution to knowledge both in telemedicine evaluation methodology and in the application of telemedicine in paediatric critical care.

The person
You should have an honours degree or a master's degree in a relevant field. The COH particularly encourages applicants with backgrounds in medicine, nursing, health sciences or public health. Unless you have prior relevant qualifications or experience, it is expected that you will enrol concurrently (with costs covered by the university) in selected UQ postgraduate coursework modules (Introduction to Biostatistics, Introduction to Epidemiology). While the scholarship is Brisbane based, occasional short trips to collaborating hospitals in regional Queensland will be required during the project.

Remuneration
The stipend will be at the rate of $25,000 (tax-free) for the first year. Students must be Australian residents and must be willing to obtain an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) at UQ for the subsequent years of their postgraduate study.

Another task is to find methods, which are capable of detecting biomarker at long distances.

The project requires the ability to work independently in addition to collaborative skills and creative thinking. Since the project is part of international collaborations good oral and written communication skills in English are required. Furthermore, since the student is expected to participate in the activities of the Stockholm University Astrobiology Centre, the ability to communicate over the boundaries of one’s own discipline is required.

Terms of employment
The 4 year PhD position is financed initially with a study grant ('utbildingsbidrag') followed by a salaried position ('doktorandanställning'). It may be possible to extend the positions up to 5 years by taking 20 % institutional duties.

Bauhaus-Universität Weimar Scholarships 2011 in Structural Engineering, Germany

Vacancies for 10 PhD positions
Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Germany. DFG – Research Training Group 1462 as of June 2011 / TV- L 13 E, max. 3 years

The research training group “Evaluation of Coupled Numerical Partial Models in Structural Engineering” is offering 10 positions for doctoral students for its second project phase. We are looking for inspired and dedicated individuals who are interested in doing research work in the multi-faceted field of structural engineering.

The overall aim of the Research training group is to assess the reliability, safety and robustness of numerical models. This evaluation considers a wide range of aspects and models.

This includes, but is not restricted to, models that describe loads or the material and structural behavior of systems in structural engineering. Of particular interest are the interactions of these models in complex systems. Their influence on the quality of models of complex coupled systems is to be determined.

Basis for the research are the results that have been realized during the first project phase. Further research will be carried out in work groups of two to three PhD students under the guidance of two Postdoctoral students. Each doctoral student is supervised by three professors, two of which are professors in Weimar and the third being one of our international partners. Following an intensive training phase the participating doctoral students will develop the subject of their theses in collaboration with their supervisors. The combination of the models and methods of the specific projects then provides the means for handling the complex problems encountered in the working groups.

We expect excellent degrees from the applicants in one or several of the following subjects:

• Civil Engineering
• Structural and Soil Mechanics/Dynamics
• Materials Science
• Applied Mathematics & Computer Science

We see ourselves as an international research training group. Very good English skills are a prerequisite for internal communication, for publications in scientific journals, and for a mandatory stay abroad, serving the scientific exchange with our international cooperation partners.

In order to allow a fast realization of models, of couplings, and of evaluation methods, command of one or several programming languages (e.g. C/C++, Java, Python, Matlab) is of advantage.

The positions are available as of June till October 2011. Funding is granted for a maximum period of three years and is compensated according to TV/L 13 E. It is the aim of Bauhaus-Universität to increase to number of female scientists. Therefore women in particular are requested to apply. Handicapped people will be favored in case of equal qualification.

Please send your application in digital form (.pdf) until May 15, 2011 to Dr. Tom Lahmer (tom.lahmer@uni-weimar.de) with the code number B/GRK-09/11-18/11.

A variety of adsorbents such as carbon, hydrogels, clays, silca gels etc employed for the removal of radionuclides from aqueous solutions have been reported; but each has inherent limitations. The discovery of mesoporous materials with large surface area and wide uniform pores has provided a new dimension for the removal/recovery of radionuclides.

This project aims to develop new mesoporous silicates that have selectively for certain radionuclides or families of radionuclides. This will be achieved by engineering specific sites within the silicate structure during the preparative stage that can accommodate specific radionuclides whilst excluding others. This exclusion may be based on size and/or interactions with functional groups inserted into the lattice structure

VU University Studentship 2011 in Human Movement Sciences, Netherlands

Vacancy number: 1.2011.00104
The Faculty of Human Movement Sciences provides scientific education and performs research in the field of human movement. Scientific research is conducted within the Research Institute MOVE (www.move.vu.nl) and covers both fundamental and applied research with a strong integrative signature. The research group “ Biophysics and Psychophysics of Sensorimotor Control” investigates how sensory information is used in the control of movements.

Tasks

The division of labor in visual processing between two relatively separate cortical pathways, a ventral and a dorsal stream, has been hotly debated in the last decades: is the separation along attributes (ventral ‘what’ vs. dorsal ‘where’) or along tasks (ventral perception vs. dorsal action). So far, behavioral studies using motor tasks known to rely on the dorsal stream have yielded ambiguous results.

In this NWO project, you will develop novel motor and perceptual tasks involving visual illusions that can be exploited in a neuroimaging environment in order to test between these models of visual information processing. This project is a collaboration with Pieter Medendorp of the Donders Institute of the Radboud University; the neuroimaging experiments will be performed in his lab in Nijmegen.

Part of your work will be to contribute to the Faculty education program for 160 hours in the first and second year of the project.

Sida Master/PhD Scholarship 2011 in Poverty Alleviation at Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand

Sida Scholarships for Students from Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam

The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), as part of their longstanding partnership, have entered into a new cooperation agreement for capacity building for sustainable development through higher education and training in Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam for the Master's and Doctoral degree studies at AIT.

The Sida-AIT cooperation aims to demonstrate that higher education has a role in directly addressing poverty in the region. Higher education programmes for poverty alleviation traditionally recruit promising technocrats from among the elite in select countries and trains them to conduct research in impoverished areas and to adapt rich-world solutions to poor-world problems. This approach brings improvements to poor areas but generally has not resulted in the poor being given opportunities to develop their own improvements or to prepare their communities to face new and unforeseen challenges to their livelihood such as those posed by climate change, natural disasters or economic crises.

Because practitioners working in the field within the communities they serve will better understand local problems and stand a better chance of helping those in need, there is hope that identifying and offering outstanding members of rural poor communities access to graduate programmes offered by AIT, which have a high degree of relevance and strategic importance for such self-reliance and preparedness, will significantly contribute to poverty alleviation.

 The Scholarship Programme is designed in a way that will result in outcomes of more people with better qualifications and more motivation to address poverty in the region. This will in turn result in better conceived and implemented poverty initiatives providing direct benefits to the poor in both the rural and urban areas Lack of human resources with this capacity directly hampers the fight against poverty in Asia. The success of the programme will be judged on measurable impact on poverty, not by academic excellence.

In order to achieve this, the following criteria and requirements apply to the students supported by the programme.

The focus of the scholarship cooperation is on poverty alleviation. Applicants must have work experience in and demonstrate commitment to work on poverty alleviation to be eligible for the support. The applicants need to provide a written account of their background and their intentions after graduation with respect to work in poverty alleviation.

Nationals from Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Myanmar (some restrictions apply) are eligible to apply. Applications from women are encouraged. Applicants with rural backgrounds or those working in rural areas (including small townships) are given priority in the selection. In the past the recipients of scholarships in the target countries are disproportionately coming from the major urban centres.

The allocation of scholarships is on a competitive basis to any of the Field of Study (FoS) at AIT. The amount of the scholarship for each student is flexible, depending on the level of support (pre-study and during study) that each student may require, as it is expected that most applicants are in need of additional support in language, computers and other academic skills. AIT will establish in-country support programs as necessary in order to achieve the objectives of the program. The scholarships may be offered as flexible Masters where the student can arrange the study periods at AIT around work commitments.

The Schools admitting students under this programme shall take responsibility of ensuring that all students comply with the conditions and requirements in terms of courses and thesis topics as  stipulated in the offer letter to the relevant candidates (see outline below).

PhD scholarships offered under this programme (tentatively beginning in 2011) are expected to have access to additional research funds through the support by Sida to AIT for research

Specific requirements of the Scholarship recipient to be include in the offer letter.

1.      An individualized study plan must be developed by the Student and his/her supervisor, this should include any need for additional tutoring/mentoring during the study period and if the student require a flexible-MSc/PhD programme to fit with work or other commitments. This plan must include two (or more) credits in courses identified as addressing poverty issues.

2.      The thesis topic must address poverty issues (preferably in the Students home country).

3.      The Student is committed to engage in follow up and monitoring activities once the studies are completed (i.e. after graduation).

Academic program enquiries and request for application forms can be addressed to the Admissions and Scholarships Unit.

Study Subject: An exploration of lower limb problems in young adults
Employer: The University of Central Lancashire
Level: PhD

Applications are invited for a full-time scholarship available in the School of Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education.

Musculoskeletal problems in young people are common and consume considerable health resources. To date there has been limited focus on the aetiology and natural history of these disorders. Studies have in the main focused on older people because of the societal cost of disability. However there is some evidence that musculoskeletal disorders of the lower limb in young adults may be associated with longer term problems. This PhD programme will take an epidemiological approach to investigating the prevalence of, incidence of and risk factors for lower limb problems in young adults
