India : Thomas Cook Wings Scholarships
Thomas Cook launches Scholarship program for students Introduces the Thomas Cook Wings Scholarship offer for students under U Special program
Thomas Cook (India) Ltd. [TCIL], India’s leading integrated travel and travel related financial services company has announced the ‘Thomas Cook Wings Scholarship’, a unique offer for students travelling abroad for further studies. The number of students travelling abroad year on year usually peaks during the months of July to September. TCIL acknowledged the need for easy travel for student segment by introducing ‘U Special’ three years ago. This year, the Company takes the already well established and accepted offer to the next level, by introducing various programs under the brand name ‘U SPECIAL.’ One such program for this season is the “Thomas Cook Wings Scholarship” – a once in a lifetime opportunity for students travelling overseas for further studies to avail of a lucky chance of winning an education scholarship worth an air ticket. 10 shortlisted students can win a scholarship worth upto Rs. 35,000/- each, the scheme being valid till 30th Sept. 2010.

Italy: PhD Scholarship in Mechanical Design of Compliant Robots, IIT RBCS Genoa
PhD Scholarship in Mechanical Design of Compliant Robots, IIT RBCS Genoa, Italy
PhD Opening in Humanoid Robotics
Department of Robotics Brain and Cognitive Sciences (RBCS)
Italian Institute of Technology
The Department of Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences (http://www.iit.it/en/rbcs/) at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genoa is opening a PhD position in the area of mechanical design of compliant robots.
Project Description:
Conventionally designed robots are made of metal parts, bearings, levers, gears or other components that are assembled with fasteners and screws, to obtain the desired functionality. An alternative approach is to derive this functionality directly from the properties of the materials and to embed components as, for example, with “shape deposition manufacturing” (Merz et al. 1994, Cutkosky et al. 1999). CAD and FE simulations are essential tools to design and optimize the details of the robot’s shape. Read the rest of this entry »

Post Doctoral Fellowship
High Performance Computing for Geophysical Applications
Memorial University
The project “High Performance Computing for Geophysical Applications”, an interdisciplinary project between the Departments of Earth Science, Physics and Physical Oceanography, and Mathematics and Statistics at Memorial University of Newfoundland, is seeking candidates for TWO Post- Doctoral Fellowship positions. The purpose of this project is to develop algorithms and software for the numerical modelling and inversion of geophysical data using high-performance, multi-core, shared- memory computer architectures. Development will be carried out on a dedicated large-scale multiprocessor computer that is to be purchased as part of the project. Read the rest of this entry »
Belgium: PhD Position in Scientific Computing at K.U.Leuven
PhD position in scientific computing at K.U.Leuven, Belgium
Applications are invited for a PhD position in the Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics division of the Computer Science Department at K.U.Leuven in Belgium.
The project involves the numerical simulation of wave scattering and propagation problems using boundary element methods, with an emphasis on high frequencies and with applications in acoustics and electromagnetics. The goal is to drastically reduce the necessary degrees of freedom by studying and incorporating the asymptotic behaviour of the solution. Read the rest of this entry »
