Research scholarship for doctoral studies at the University of Malaya

Vacancies for a research project to fabricate new generation of organic photovoltaic (OPV) capable of harnessing energy from visible to near infrared light is available. Two positions are available (Physics and Chemistry). The physicist would fabricate photovoltaic devices using novel narrow bandgap liquid crystalline mesogen synthesized by Chemists in University of Malaya and our collaborator from Department of Advanced Material Sciences, Kagawa University, Japan. The tested materials would involve metallomesogens, carbon nanotube, functionalized graphene and other promising photovoltaic materials. The novel material and device are expected to interesting physics such as exhibit multiple carriers generation from a single photon and hot carrier generation. The objective is to provide a proof of principle of OPV of efficiency higher than 10%.

Senior Research Scientist, Quantitative Economist, WorldFish Headquarters, Penang, Malaysia

We are looking for a versatile quantitative economist to work with an existing group of development and agricultural economists to provide clear advice on future directions for fisheries and aquaculture in key development arenas, such as food security, climate change adaptation and trade policy, at national, regional and global level.

The position is initially for Three Years, and is renewable, subject to performance, future requirements of the Center, and availability of funding. It is envisaged to start in the last quarter of 2010 or beginning of 2011 at the latest.

Post Doctoral Research Fellow, Political Economy of Fisheries & Aquaculture Development, WorldFish Headquarters, Penang, Malaysia

The WorldFish Center seeks an outstanding early-career scholar with broad vision and individual ambition but strong teamwork and research support skills to contribute to the work of its Policy, Economics and Social Science (PESS) group. The successful candidate will work within PESS, but also across the Natural Resource Management (NRM) and Aquaculture (AQ) groups to advance a political economy analysis of fisheries and aquaculture development, focused on the least developed countries of Africa, Asia and the Pacific. This work intends to inform on-going fisheries governance reforms and aquaculture growth strategies, helping to ensure that they contribute effectively to reducing poverty and hunger in countries with significant fish production opportunities.

The position is for two years initially, and is potentially renewable for a further three. Although the position is envisaged to be largely desk-based for the first 12 months, and we place a premium on theoretical and analytical abilities, candidates who also have skills and interest in field-based research are encouraged to apply, as there are existing opportunities for field research, and it is envisaged that the successful candidate will be supported to develop an independent research programme during the second year of tenure.
