PhD Research Studentship
Interacting Turbulent Flames Using Dns And Laser Diagnostics
Department of Engineering
A Research Studentship position is available on an EPSRC funded research project in the study of interacting turbulent flames using DNS and laser diagnostics. This project involves collaboration with Rolls-Royce Plc. and Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd. in the UK. The main aim of the project is to develop close understanding of interacting turbulent premixed flames using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) methodology and laser diagnostics. The interacting flames are one of the fundamental root cause for "noisy" combustion, but this is still a terra incognita for modelling. The research student will be involved in the experimental part of the project but there will be constant interaction between the experimental and computational parts. The Ph.D student will work closely with one of investigators and will be using state of the art multi-scalar imaging and particle image velocimetry (PIV) facilities available in the Engineering Department.
The successful candidate will have a first class degree in Mechanical/Aerospace/Chemical engineering. Applications from overseas students will also be considered. Funding, covering all fees and maintenance will be available for the three years. The studentship will commence from 1st October 2008.
Further details on the project may be obtained from Dr E. Mastorakos or Dr N. Swaminathan. An application form may be downloaded from the Board of Graduate Studies (BGS) office. More information on the graduate studies at the Engineering Department is available http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/ If you submit your application on-line via BGS website, send a copy in PDF format to Mrs. Kate Graham so as to reach her not later than 10th May 2008.

Fellowships for Threatened Scholars from Iraq
The Institute of International Education (IIE) invites qualifying Iraqi scholars or their nominators to apply to the Iraq Scholar Rescue Project, a special division of IIE’s Scholar Rescue Fund. This new project provides fellowship assistance for threatened scholars seeking refuge through temporary academic positions at universities, colleges and other institutions of higher learning in the Middle East and North African regions. (Some exceptions may be considered for university positions in other world regions.)
Fellows are expected to teach, research or publish at host academic institutions. While pursuing their academic work, fellows will also be asked to continue to educate Iraqi students within and outside of Iraq. One-year fellowships will cover living expenses and initial relocation costs, and may be renewed for up to one additional year. When conditions allow, scholars are expected to return home to help rebuild universities and societies destroyed by conflict.

Eligibility:
Iraqi academics, established researchers and professors in any field or discipline may apply. Preferences will be given to scholars with a Ph.D. or equivalent in their field; who have been employed in advanced academic activities at a university, college or other higher learning institution; who demonstrate superior academic accomplishment; and whose selection is likely to benefit the academic community in Iraq and in the host country. Female scholars are encouraged to apply.
To apply for a fellowship, please fill out an application for Iraq candidates (available here). If you have questions about the application form, or would like to learn about how to host an SRF fellow, please write to SRFIraq@iie.org. Kindly include “SRF Iraq Project” in the subject line.

Aga Khan Foundation International Scholarship Programme
The Aga Khan Foundation provides a limited number of scholarships each year for postgraduate studies to outstanding students from developing countries who have no other means of financing their studies. Scholarships are awarded on a 50% grant : 50% loan basis through a competitive application process once a year in June or July. The Foundation gives priority to requests for Master's level courses but is also willing to consider applications for PhD programmes, when doctoral degrees are necessary for the career objectives of the student. Requests will also be considered for travel and study awards for PhD students doing their research in Third World countries on topics judged to be of interest to the Aga Khan Development Network. Applications for short-term courses are not considered; neither are applications from students who have already started their course of study.
Geographic Scope. The Foundation accepts applications from countries where it has branches, affiliates or other AKDN agencies which can help with processing applications and interviewing applicants. At present, these are Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Syria, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique, Madagascar, France, Portugal, UK, USA and Canada.
Selection Criteria. The main criteria for selecting award winners are: l) excellent academic records, 2) genuine financial need, 3) admission to a reputable institution of higher learning and 4) thoughtful and coherent educational and career plans. Candidates are also evaluated on their extra-curricular interests and achievements, potential to achieve their goals and likelihood to succeed in a foreign academic environment. Applicants are expected to have some years of work experience in their field of interest.
Age Limit. Preference is given to students under 30 years of age.
Financial Assistance. The Foundation assists students with tuition fees and living expenses only. The cost of travel is not included in AKF scholarships. Applicants are requested to make every effort to obtain funding from other sources as well, so that the amount requested from the Foundation can be reduced to a minimum. Preference is given to those who have been able to secure some funding from alternative sources.
Loan Conditions. Half of the scholarship amount is considered as a loan, which must be reimbursed with an annual service charge of 5%. A guarantor is required to co-sign the loan agreement. The payback period is five years, starting six months after the study period funded by the Aga Khan Foundation.
Application Procedures. The application procedures of AKF's International Scholarship Programme are decentralised. Students may obtain application forms as of January 1st each year from AKF offices or Aga Khan Education Services / Boards in their countries of current residence. Completed applications should be returned to the agency from which the form was obtained, or to the address indicated on the front of the form. They should not be sent to Geneva. The deadline for submission of applications is March 31, although in certain countries internal deadlines may be earlier.
Applicants should be prepared to be interviewed by local Scholarship Committees about their financial situation, their academic performance, extra-curricular achievements and career plans. Interview reports are sent with the applications to Geneva for the final selection.
The annual Scholarship Selection Meeting takes place in late June or early July and the Aga Khan Foundation notifies all students of the outcome of their application shortly thereafter.

Ireland: PhD Studentships in Applied Microeconomics, Trinity College Dublin
Job description
This project analyses the impact of recent policy changes on various aspects relating to the agri-food sectors in Ireland and other EU countries focussing in particular on Denmark and the Netherlands. Using the Irish National Farm Survey a micro approach is taken that allows specific research questions relating to:
1) productivity and competitiveness; 2) the changing structure of production systems in terms of farm numbers, the role of economies of scale, specialisation and system switching; and 3) the wider rural community to be addressed. The availability of a comparable survey for Denmark and the Netherlands presents a unique opportunity for the Irish experience to be compared to that of similar regions of Europe facing the same set of constraints but with significantly different sectors in terms of structure, organisation and the role of government supports This study will provide valuable lessons for policy by deepening our understanding of the important issues facing the agri-food sector in Ireland at the micro level and observing how the Irish experience compares to that of similar European regions. The project will also explore alternative uses for land post-decupling focussing in particular on opportunities in relation to organic farming and alternative energy sources drawing on the successes of the Danish experience.
The PhD student will be based at the Department of Economics, Trinity College Dublin. The student will spend some time at the University of Kent in the UK and at the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands working with leading economists on farm survey data and project related modelling issues.
Requirements
* MSc degree or equivalent in Economics
* An interest in applied microeconomics in particular agricultural or environmental economics
* Excellent quantitative skills (i.e. econometric modelling).
Conditions of employment
Stipend: €16,000 p.a. plus tuition fees
Duration of the contract: 3 years beginning April 1st, 2008
Additional Information
Additional information about the vacancy can be obtained from:
Dr. Carol Newman

Application
Interested candidates should either post or email their CVs before March 1st to Dr. Carol Newman, Department of Economics, Trinity College Dublin, College Green, Dublin 2, Ireland. Email: cnewman[ at ]tcd.ie

Italy: Associate Professor of International Relations, University of Trento
Full-time Associate Professor in International Relations with an emphasis on international institutions and regimes
The faculty of Sociology of the University of Trento seeks to appoint a full-time associate professor in the field of International Relations, starting in the academic year 2008-2009. It is a tenured position with the salary and conditions of an Italian associate professor.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline, an excellent publication record and an equivalent position in a (non-Italian or Italian) university.

Candidates who can also contribute in the area of the EU’s global role are encouraged to apply.
The successful candidate is expected to teach courses at the undergraduate level at the faculty of Sociology, and at the MA and Ph.D. level at the multidisciplinary graduate School of International Studies. S/he will also have to supervise MA and PhD as well as undergraduate theses. Because graduate-level teaching will be in English, an excellent (oral and written) knowledge of the latter language is a prerequisite. However, the successful candidate, if not Italian, is required to acquire a good working knowledge of the Italian language within the first year of her/his appointment. It is expected that the successful candidate will assist in the management of the multidisciplinary Ph.D. programme in international Studies.
The University of Trento is one of Italy’s youngest public universities and is consistently ranked amongst the best in the country. The faculty of Sociology in particular, has consistently occupied first place, ever since rankings of university departments were introduced in Italy.
Applications must include a CV; a list of publications; an outline of current and planned research projects; outlines of proposed courses at the Ph.D. and Master levels, as well as letters from three referees. The application deadline is March 31, 2008. Applications arriving after the deadline will be disregarded, even if sent before March 31, 2008. Short-listed candidates will be invited to visit the Faculty of Sociology and deliver a lecture at the School of International Studies by the end of May or the beginning of June 2008. The successful candidate is expected to take up residence in Trento. The University of Trento is an equal-opportunity employer and particularly invites applications from female candidates.
