Postdoctoral Scholarship in Electromagnetic, Numerical and Computational Analysis at TELECOM Bretagne, France
Study Subject(s):Non-invasive Electromagnetic Measurements of Biological Tissues
Course Level:Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: TELECOM Bretagne
Scholarship can be taken at: France
Eligibility:
Profile of the post-doctoral fellow:
• PhD
• Good programming skills
• Proficiency in one or more of the following domains: bioengineering, electromagnetics, numerical and computational analysis, high performance computing.
Scholarship Open for International Students: Yes
Scholarship Description: The fellow will work on a project that focuses on the development of an innovative technique for measuring, in a non-invasive way, the electromagnetic fields within a plethora of case scenarios of biological and biomedical interest. Several technologies of common use relies on electromagnetic propagation in their functioning. Cellular phones, laptops, Bluetooth devices, wireless hotspots: all of these devices emit middle-to-high doses of electromagnetic radiation that penetrate materials and tissues in the vicinity.
This project aims to study innovative non-invasive measurements techniques that will be based purely on external field measurements, preventing the use of probing and internal devices. This goal will be achieved by choosing a suitable formulation that will model the EM behavior of the phantom, and will build an internal to external field mapping. After a measurement of the external field the mapping will be inverted and the internal field will be found without necessity of further internal measurements. Critical points in this procedure will be represented by the appropriate treatment of material losses, as well as the suitable modeling of phantoms (and other tissues of interest) that should be as reliable and near to reality as possible, in order to minimize errors and parasitic deviations from actual internal measurements. After the development of the appropriate computational tools necessary for the technique, the proposed measurement procedure will be validated, within the project, with a vast plethora of both canonical problems and challenges arising from real case scenarios.

Request for Applications for the CNHR Research Career Development Grants (RCDGs), 2012
As part of its national research capacity-strengthening mandate, CNHR invites applications for Research Career Development Grants (RCDGs) from qualified Kenyan researchers (currently based in Kenya or working within the Diaspora) who wish to further develop their careers while undertaking research and training programmes in Kenya. The grants aim at enabling successful applicants to obtain high-quality research training that will lay the foundation for a successful independent research career. In the long-term, the aim is to build a critical mass of researchers undertaking relevant research-for-health for the betterment of Kenyans.
CNHR is planning to award twelve (12) RCDGs commencing in October 2012. The RCDGs are being offered in collaboration with multi-institutional research-for-health collaborative set-ups such as the four CNHR-supported Centres of Research Excellence (CoReS[1]). These are: CREHSS based at Great Lakes University of Kisumu, SIRCLE based at the KEMRI/Wellcome Trust Programme in Nairobi, CREATES based at Strathmore University and CERNVec based at icipe). The grants will be competitively offered to support the development of research ideas, or acquisition of specialized research/training skills as a step towards a productive independent research career in areas of national health priority currently focused on the attainment of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 4 (child health); 5 (maternal health); 6 (infectious diseases); emerging and non-communicable diseases, with improvement of Health Systems as an overarching theme.
The selection process, to be undertaken by an Expert Scientific Advisory Committee (ESAC), comprising of internationally recognized researchers and policy makers, will mainly focus on identifying individuals who are committed to attaining the highest standards in scientific research excellence, motivated to work in collaboration and partnership, and will strive to be world leaders in their chosen fields of research. Successful applicants are likely to be those who have a good track record of achievement, exhibit passion, enthusiasm and aptitude for a long-term career research-for-health. In addition, sound knowledge of the scientific background for the research project should be apparent, and the research chosen should be relevant to the health and development need of Kenya, focused and feasible within the timescale proposed.
Categories of Fellowships available under the RCDG Programme
The RCDGs will offer research career development opportunities for periods of not more than eighteen (18) months (from 1st October 2012), and will be offered to successful applicants who apply for consideration either as:
(i)             Postdoctoral Research Fellow;
(ii)             Mid-Career Research Fellow; or
(iii)            Mid-Career Clinical Research Fellow.
Out of these, applicants are expected to make only one choice of the category of fellowship they wish to be considered for, and that is closely aligned to their research career progression.
The award targets young researchers who would wish to develop their own research niches/teams within the next 3-5 years, and especially a) Qualified young researchers based within the public universities, private universities or in private practice, and b) young researchers in the Diaspora who wish to return to Kenya to establish viable independent research careers in universities or research institutions. In both cases, encouragement is being made for qualified women researchers are to apply.
Due to the limited duration of these fellowships, grantees are expected to join ongoing research programmes that have already received ethical approval, or are likely to obtain ethical approval (where applicable) before the commencement of the grant. The successful grantees will receive the required mentorship and training support from the institution (s) hosting the project to enable them advance in their chosen fields based on well-defined career pathways.
Funds available under the RCDG Programme
The RCDGs will provide for research expenses based on an approved project budget submitted by the hosting institution. Support funds for research staff or purchase of major equipment will not be provided as it is expected that the majority of equipment and facilities required for the proposed research will be made available to successful applicants at the host institution(s). Monthly stipends will be provided to those grantees on unpaid study leave (if employed) or have no other source of income. Variations from these broad categories of grantees will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Postdoctoral Research Fellows will be awarded up to a maximum of US$ 50,000 as research support and be paid a modest stipend of US$ 3,750 per month. The Mid-Career Research Fellows (both clinical and non-clinical) will be eligible for a maximum research support of US$ 75,000, and receive a monthly stipend of US$ 4,500. A one-time relocation allowance of US$ 10,000 (for those currently in Europe, USA or Asia or US$ 5,000 (for those currently in other parts of Africa) will be paid to successful applicants who are Kenyan Mid-career Research Fellows living in the Diaspora and willing to return to Kenya to take on a health research career under one of these grants.
Eligibility
To be eligible, the applicants must meet all of the requirements of the RCDG programme as outlined below. The programme encourages a systems approach to research and training and its integration with policy and practice. Professionals undertaking research-for-health related work are therefore encouraged to participate.  Where applicable, the proposed research work needs to have received ethical approval in accordance with national and international guidelines before funds from CNHR are awarded. The RCDG awards are open to qualified Kenyans resident in Kenya or working within the Diaspora. Researchers of other nationalities who have valid working permits, and are currently working within Kenyan institutions will also be considered, as long as they are able to demonstrate evidence of willingness to provide research service in Kenya after completion of the fellowship.
Applicants to the RCDG programme must, in addition, fulfill the following requirements:
·      Be a bonafide employee of/or currently undertaking further relevant training in a public or private research-for-health and/or teaching institution.  Qualified applicants in private practice but with relevant experience will also be considered.

PhD Position in Physics at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Switzerland
Study Subject(s):Numeric Relativistic and Quantum Hydrodynamics
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: ETH Zürich
Scholarship can be taken at: Switzerland
Eligibility: Applicants should have a Diploma or Master degree in physics or related area, strong programming skills and interest in numerical simulations and interdisciplinary topics.
Scholarship Open for International Students: Yes
Scholarship Description: Relativistic fluid dynamics plays a major role in many fields of modern physics, e.g. in astrophysics, nuclear, high-energy physics, and also in condensed matter physics. The dynamics of such systems requires solving highly nonlinear equations, rendering the analytic treatment of practical problems extremely difficult. Recently, several numerical methods for modelling relativistic fluids has been proposed, which fill a gap in the remarkably broad spectrum of numerical applications across most areas of fluid dynamics, including quantum fluids. This project has two goals: the first one is to make a systematic study of those methods, and the second one is to explore their present applications and extend them to new ones, e.g. developing ultra-relativistic versions, applying them to relativistic turbulent systems, and using them to study quantum relativistic phenomena.
