英国爱丁堡大学 Principal's Career Development PhD Scholarships

Here is another oppertunity for good students. If she/he would like to apply it, I will help them. He/she should mention that I will supervise his/her study.


详细介绍:

Principal's Career Development PhD Scholarships

The University of Edinburgh will offer almost 60 PhD scholarships for students starting their PhD research at the University in the 2010-2011 academic session. The awards are open to UK, EU and overseas students undertaking a research degree and may be held in any field of
study.

In order to attract the best and brightest PhD students, the University of Edinburgh seeks to offer not only unparalleled research facilities and superb supervision, but also to provide development opportunities which will support our research students as they progress beyond their PhD, through an innovative programme of integrated research, training and career development.
This exciting new scholarship scheme provides a valuable opportunity for postgraduate research students to undertake a package of training and development which will help them to develop the necessary skills required to meet their career choices, and offer them a breadth of
development opportunities in areas such as teaching, public engagement, entrepreneurship, and research.

Teaching
Most Career Development PhD scholars will be expected to undertake some undergraduate teaching which may be in the region of 180 hours per academic session. The level of teaching contribution will vary among the disciplines, and other associated tasks such as marking or
demonstrating, with some lecturing experience towards the end of the three years may also form part of the scholarship.

Public Engagement
Scholars may be required to engage with the public, disseminating and promoting the university's research. This might include giving public talks; seeking public input into your research; or working with science centres or museums. Such activities will help to encourage a
greater understanding about the issues and possibilities that develop from research.

Entrepreneurship
Looking at new ways of encouraging innovative approaches to the utilization of research may also be suitable for some scholars. This might include being introduced to such areas as intellectual property and patents, learning how to set up a business or spin-out company, as
well as business and industrial placements.

Research
As well as developing your own research project, you may contribute to ongoing research within your subject area in another part of the University. There may be opportunities to act as a research assistant, participate in some of the crucial background work of journal editing,
or prepare briefings and materials for publications and presentations in our Schools, Colleges and Support Groups.

Value of Award
Each scholarship will cover the UK/EU rate of tuition fee (c. ?3,500 in 2010-2011) as well as a stipend which will increase each year. In 2010-2011 the level of stipend will be ?13,500; in 2011-2012 this will increase to ?14,000; and in year 3 the level will be ?14,500. Subject
to satisfactory progress, the awards are tenable for up to three years.

UK and EU applicants should apply as normal to the relevant UK Research Council, while overseas students should apply to the Scottish Overseas Research Students Award Scheme (SORSAS) as well as to other external sources of funding. Successful candidates who receive other sources of partial funding will have the value of their Career Development PhD Scholarship altered accordingly.

Eligibility
Applicants must have already applied for admission to a full-time PhD research programme of study at the University of Edinburgh. They must be of outstanding academic merit and research potential. Candidates must have, or expect to obtain, a UK first class or 2:1 Honours degree
at undergraduate level or the international equivalent. Other factors such as financial status, nationality and the proposed field of study are not taken into account. The University of Edinburgh will not generally consider candidates who have already obtained a PhD, or
formal equivalent, as a result of direct research training. Candidates are required to have good English Language skills with scholarship applicants normally requiring a minimum IELTS of 7.0.
Please also note that if you have applied for consecutive registration where you will start your Master's programme of study in 2010 and your PhD the following year in 2011, that you will not be eligible to apply for a Principal's Career Development Scholarship in 2010. Principal's awards cannot be held concurrently with fully-funded scholarships but can be held with partial awards such as Scottish Overseas Research Students Award Scheme (SORSAS) awards.

Application Procedure
Applicants should apply for PhD admission before applying for a Principal's Career Development Scholarship. Your scholarship application cannot be considered until you have applied for
postgraduate admission.
Application for postgraduate admission should be made via the University?s on-line admission system. Application is made via the University?s Prospectus at www.ed.ac.uk/studying/postgraduate/finder.Eligible applicants should also complete an online scholarship application.
Applicants are asked when completing the personal statement of the scholarship application form to describe their interest in, and commitment to, undergraduate teaching and learning within Higher Education. You should also highlight your personal qualities which will show how you will benefit from this scholarship and use it to succeed in your career development.
Completed application forms must be received by the Scholarships and Student Finance Office no later than 15 March 2010.

Selection Procedure
The University will use the information you provide on your scholarship application form together with the information contained in the supporting documentation (two references and academic transcript) which you submitted as part of your application for admission to administer and assess your scholarship application and to select successful applicants. Shortlisted candidates should expect to be invited to attend an interview which will take place either in person or by telephone.The winners of the scholarship will be announced by Friday 30 April 2010.

澳大利亚昆士兰大学读博的奖学金机会

------------------------------------------------------------------------
昆士兰大学博士奖学金机会

1. 满足昆士兰大学的基本招收要求.(每年有4次受理申请机会)。
2. 专业要求:即将或者已经获得硕士学位的化学材料冶金大类的学生。
3. 课题来至于澳洲基金委支持的项目(Australian Research Council - Discovery Project Scheme)是有关于清洁能源技术方面的研究同时还同Virginia Tech, USA有交流合作。具体请参看下文的介绍。

Project Description:
Gas hydrates occur abundantly in ocean sediments and permafrost regions. Methane hydrate represents a potential source of clean energy, while formation of carbon dioxide hydrate can be utilised as an alternative carbon sequestration technology and an alternative water desalination process. The fundamentals of the processes associated with gas hydrate formation and dissociation remain unclear, posing an impediment to technology development for methane extraction and hydrate utilisation. This project employs state-of-the-art surface analytical tools to explore the mechanism of gas hydrate formation and dissociation. The results will improve understanding of the sub-processes of hydrate formation and decomposition on a molecular level and, on the basis of which, help develop an advanced kinetic model of gas hydrate formation. This is a project in collaboration with Center for Advanced Separation Technology, Virginia Tech, USA. This three-year project will start in early 2010.

Academic Supervisors:
Dr Liguang Wang and Prof Anh V. Nguyen

Funding Source: Australian Research Council - Discovery Project Scheme.

Financial Support for Your PhD Study:
Living allowance scholarship for three years: $26,669 (tax-free) per annum.
