PhD Admission Studentship in Advanced Magnetic Resonance Techniques,UK

Due to funding, this grant only for nationals of the United Kingdom and the EU.
Call for Nominations for the scholarship on her doctorate at the University of Cambridge in the MR Research Center, Institute of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology. The center is known worldwide, collided with a focus on the use of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging methods and their application to problems in the research process technology. The student will complete by the Nestlé Research Center, Lausanne, Switzerland is financing. The project will focus on understanding the physical properties of foams in terms of stability and production. Foams are ubiquitous in dietary factors and the effects of many that the consumer important as the taste and texture. The project aims to increase basic knowledge and practices to increase our ability to develop new foods into foam.
This project includes the development and implementation of advanced quantitative techniques such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy, fast pulsed field gradient magnetic resonance spectroscopy, multi-dimensional relaxation of exchange and micro-fluidic micro-imaging to new discoveries of physics "microfluidics" Generation of food foams and emulsions purchase . In addition, require the successful candidate to integrate research on the stability and the subsequent aging of the foam / emulsion in terms of size and drainage and for opportunities, new techniques, developed in the research project in a "low range" refers to magnetic resonance measurements in production at the factory. The project will travel regularly to include the research center in Lausanne and ongoing consultation with engineers from industrial processes and Nestle scientists.
The successful candidate should have a strong physics/mathematical background (preferably holding, or expecting to gain, a first class or upper 2:1 (honours) masters degree in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering or physics) and should be able to demonstrate a high level of practical and communication skills.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 June 2011

PhD Admission Studentship Flashing plastic – fabrication of electronic memory devices on plastic

Emerging Technologies Research Centre, Department of Engineering, Faculty of Technology, De Montfort University, Leicester

Starting October 2011

A PhD research studentship within the area of flexible electronics is available within the Emerging Technologies Research Centre (EMTERC). The aim of this project is to demonstrate a working low temperature silicon-based memory cell on a plastic substrate aimed at mobile applications. It will build on EMTERC's international reputation as a centre of excellence in micro and nano-electronics achieved through the creation and exploitation of knowledge in materials and devices, together with the extensive expertise within the centre in the area of emerging memory devices.

The research will involve numerous experimental techniques for materials growth/analysis and device characterisation and as such is well-suited to graduates with a background in physics, chemistry, materials science or electrical/electronic engineering.

For a more detailed description of the studentship project please visit our website or contact Dr Shashi Paul on +44 (0)116 207 8548 or email spaul@dmu.ac.uk

This is one of 28 scholarships funded by DMU in 2011/12 to build on our excellent achievements in the RAE2008 and looking forward to REF2014. It will develop the university's research capacity into new and evolving areas of study, enhancing DMU's national and international research partnerships.

Applications are invited from UK or EU students only, due to the funding restrictions, with a good first degree (First, 2:1 or equivalent) in a relevant subject. Doctoral scholarships are available for up to three years full-time study starting October 2011 and provide a bursary of £13,770pa in addition to university tuition fees.

Applicants should contact Elaine Aspell to receive an application pack, email easpell@dmu.ac.uk or call +44 (0)116 207 8627.

Lindhard Scholarships Phd Admission in Physics and Astronomy

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Aarhus University invites applications for 10-15 Scholarships, each covering a 3 or 6 months preparation period for enrolment in the PhD programme. The aim of this honours scholarship programme is to increase international recruitment of top-level students in Physics and Astronomy. The successful applicants are expected to follow courses taught in English and engage in research activities that may lead to formulation of a PhD project.

The Department has a large range of internationally competitive activities, so the PhD-education takes place in a scientifically inspiring environment.

Information about the research activities and the PhD-programme can be found on the Department homepage http://phys.au.dk/en/.

The Scholarship covers travelling expenses and local expenses including housing with 8.000 DKK (roughly equivalent to 1075 Euro) for each month of stay in Aarhus. This amount is sufficient for accommodation and living expenses for one person. Adequate accommodation will be available for the successful applicants.

The Scholarships start on August 15, 2011, one week before the beginning of the official teaching period in the summer of 2011, and they terminate after evaluation of courses and projects, either November 14, 2011 or February 14, 2012.

The minimum background education required is a top 5 % Bachelor of Science degree in Physics, Astronomy, or a closely related subject, and students may apply for a Lindhard Scholarship up to two years after obtaining this degree. An alternative, relevant especially for students with considerable experience after the Bachelor degree, is a 2-week visit to the Department to find a thesis adviser and discuss the formulation of a PhD project. The application procedure and the deadlines are the same for such visits as for the Lindhard Scholarships.

At the end of the Scholarship period the student may in competition with other Danish and international applicants apply for enrolment in a 3 or 4 year PhD-programme. For top level students, chances are excellent to obtain a fully financed fellowship for the whole period (about 300.000 DKK per year).

The application must be submitted online and should include a curriculum vitae, specifics about the background education including a list of grades covering all courses, preferences of fields in theoretical or experimental Physics or in Astronomy, the preferred length of the visit (3 or 6 months or 2 weeks), motivation for the application (max one page) and recommendation letters (max three). Applicants are expected if asked to be available for a Skype interview and successful applicants will be required to submit authenticated copies of certificates.

Deadline

All applications must be made online and received by:

1/4/2011
