International Masters Fellowships for Tanzanians supported by the Ford Foundation.

The International Fellowships Program (IFP) is a program based in New York, and supported by the Ford Foundation. It is administered in Tanzania as IFP-Tanzania in collaboration with the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF)..

IFP-Tanzania is hereby announcing the fellowships for advanced study, of up to three years of study to exceptional individuals with potential qualities and who will use their education to further development in their own communities and the nation, ultimately bringing about greater social and economic justice in the country and also worldwide. IFP fellowships will be awarded to applicants from diverse backgrounds, more specifically, to those from social groups and communities that lack systematic access to higher education.

These fellowships are tenable in the world, were the IFP programme has Strategic Partnership Universities (SUPs).

A total of Seventeen (17) fellowships will be awarded to deserving Tanzanians, for the 2011/2012 academic year to undertake MASTERS PROGRAMME ONLY. Read the rest of this entry »

PhD Position in Interactions of Lipid Membranes with Nano-objects and Molecular Priniples of Cytotoxicity, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Catalonia

PhD Position in Soft matter physics

Overview:
The aim of this project is to model the interactions of lipid membranes with nano-objects including functional biomimetic polymers, peptides, polymeric micelles and polymer therapeutic complexes/conjugates in order to enable the intelligent design of new materials with improved bilayer modifying properties. This study may provide the molecular basis for the cytotoxicity of nano-objects and indicate the ways to reduce it. The Single Chain Mean Field theory can test the inferred mechanisms for the interaction of nano-objects with phospholipid bilayers allowing to distinguish between different possible pathways to penetrate the living cells.

Athens Information Technology (AIT) invites applications for postgraduate researchers to work in the Broadband Wireless and Sensor networks (B-WiSE) research group, in the field of wireless sensor networks. The positions are granted by AIT and the European Commission, under the FP7-PEOPLE-ITN project SMARTEN, on Smart Management for Sustainable Human Environment, and are expected to lead to a PhD at the end of the 4-year project time-frame.

The SMARTEN project aims to educate and train the next generation of researchers, engineers, research managers and directors in the field of Smart Management for Sustainable Human Environment, using Wireless Sensor Network technologies. It involves some of the key European research organisations in the fields of Infrastructure Reliability and Management, Sensor Technology and Communications. Read the rest of this entry »
