Scholarships in Infrastructure Management at Yokohama National University

2010-08-03T01:38:00.000-07:00

Yokohama National University has for many years been instrumental in providing university graduates with opportunities to further their post-graduate work.

The University`s special emphasis on the promotion of international exchanges with overseas universities has been stimulated by the role of Yokohama, a major port and the second largest city in Japan, as a point of contact with other countries. Yokohama is the vibrant heart of a civilization which has received direct influence from the West and then integrated these influences into the development of present-day Japan.

The City of Yokohama has a well-developed infrastructure network. Because of its central location, Yokohama has had excellent access to theoretical and practical information available through various international agencies of the government, and Yokohama National University has been closely involved in issues of infrastructure management. Much of this experience and knowledge is applicable to the infrastructure development needs of developing countries.

The Infrastructure Management Program is formally administered by the International Graduate School of Social Sciences` International and Business Law Department, but it is in fact jointly planned and conducted by all of YNU`s graduate schools. In working toward a Master`s Degree through the Infrastructure Management Program, students will study in areas associated with the International Graduate School of Social Sciences, the graduate schools of Education, Engineering, and Environmental and Information Sciences as well as the International Student Center.

In applying for admission to the program, applicants should note the following:

The Master`s Program in Infrastructure Management is oriented to training government officials with present or future management responsibility and an academic background in the field of engineering. Women are encouraged to apply.
Applicants must:

have completed undergraduate work in engineering or an equivalent field of study;
be 35 years of age or under as of April 1, 2011;
have at least 4 years of practical experience involving responsibility for infrastructure development;
be in good health (semifinalists will be required to submit a health certificate signed by their doctor.)

Because the entire program is carried out in English, applicants must provide evidence of a satisfactory level of English competence, either by enclosing the result of the official TOEFL/IELTS (or an equivalent English proficiency examination) or by proving that they have completed a university program conducted mainly in English. TOEFL institution code for Yokohama National University is 0410 and department code for Infrastructure Management Program is 88 (International Relations).
Letters of reference or recommendation from two different people must be provided to support the application. One of these must be from a person who has supervised the applicant in a work situation and the other from a professor at the university from which the applicant graduated.
It is preferred that successful candidates arrange for a leave of absence from their employer for the two-year period during which they are to participate in the program. This leave should assure their re-employment after completion of the program.

be nominated by only one Canadian university, which must have received a Vanier CGS allocation;
be seeking financial support to pursue your first doctoral degree (or combined MA/PhD or MD/PhD);
intend to pursue, in the summer semester or the academic year following the announcement of results, full-time doctoral (or combined MA/PhD or MD/PhD) studies and research at the nominating university;
have completed no more than 20 months of doctoral studies as of May 1, 2011 (see Notes below);
have achieved a first-class average, as determined by your university, in each of the last two years of full-time study or equivalent;
not have already received a doctoral-level scholarship or fellowship from SSHRC, NSERC or CIHR to undertake or complete a doctoral degree (or combined MA/PhD or MD/PhD).

Eligibility to Hold an Award
Without exception, Vanier CGS awards are tenable only at the eligible Canadian university that submitted the nomination.

To hold the award, the candidate must:

be registered as a full-time student at the nominating Canadian institution, and be pursuing a doctoral degree (or combined MA/PhD or MD/PhD);
remain enrolled and demonstrate continued satisfactory progress in doctoral program.

Part-time studies
A Vanier CGS may be held by students who are registered part time because of a disability. For this purpose, disability is defined as “a functional limitation resulting from a physical, sensory, or mental impairment, which, for an indefinite period, affects the ability of the student to perform the activities necessary to participate fully in his or her learning.” For eligible part-time students, Vanier CGS award funding will be equivalent to a full-time award spread over a longer period of time.

Canadian federal government employees are eligible to hold a scholarship only if on an unpaid leave of absence (no salary or special allowances permitted).

PhD Position in Towards Scalable and Dependable Computing in the Cloud at INRIA

2010-07-02T03:20:00.000-07:00

PhD Position at INRIA Grenoble

Title
Towards Scalable and Dependable Computing in the Cloud

Keywords
Distributed systems, Cloud computing, QoS, SLA, Scalability, Dependability

Research Description
Cloud Computing is a paradigm for enabling remote, on-demand access to a set of configurable computing resources. A Cloud may stand at different levels of the hardware and software stack where: (i) an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud enables access to hardware resources such as servers and storage devices,
(ii) a Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud allows the access to software resources such as operating systems and software development environment, and
(iii) a Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud is an alternative to classical software applications running locally on personal computers which are, instead, provided remotely by the cloud (e.g. messaging services, document editing services, etc.). Although Cloud Computing provides a means to support remote, on-demand access to computing resources, its ad-hoc management poses significant challenges to the scalability, performance, dependability and economical costs of cloud services.

A differentiating element between Cloud Computing environments will be the quality-of service (QoS) and the service level agreement (SLA) provided by the cloud. However, service composition and cloud elasticity that underlie Cloud Computing make cloud management challenging. The proposed PhD project aims at investigating novel protocols for scalabile and efficient cloud provisioning, while guaranteeing dependability and reducing costs. The project will study an innovative approach that combines control theory techniques with distributed algorithms in order to build self-elastic clouds. Novel models, control laws, and distributed algorithms will be proposed for automated provisioning, configuration and deployment of cloud services to meet SLA requirements, while tackling scalability and dynamics issues.

Skills
Distributed computing systems, Distributed algorithms, Java programming

Location and Salary
A PhD studentship for 3 years is available. The monthly gross salary is 1 947.80 € during the two first years and 2 048.60 € during the last year.
The successful candidate will join the SARDES Distributed Systems Research Group at INRIA Grenoble: www.inria.fr/grenoble

[Netherlands] PhD on Family and School Influence on Future Life Plans at University of Amsterdam

2010-06-29T08:56:00.000-07:00

The department of Social Research Methodology, Faculty of Social Sciences, VU University Amsterdam, has a vacancy for a PhD position. This project about The Influence of Family and School on Future Life Plans of Adolescents is funded by a grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).

Vacancy number 1.2010.00154

Research project:
The influence of family and school on future life plans of adolescents This research project aims to study the future life plans of adolescents. Attention will be paid to their ambitions for their educational and occupational careers, and to their intentions with regard to family formation. An important question is to what extent – in this era of individualization – the future plans of adolescents are still influenced by their social environment: the parents, the school, and the peer group, and whether this influence depends on the field of planning. The project will use data collected in 2005 among 1500 students of grades three, four and five in secondary education. In the questionnaire, the 14 to 17 year olds reported extensively on their plans and expectations with regard to their future life course in education, occupation and family formation. Data from parents were collected as well. They received a mail survey in which they were asked to describe their expectations and ambitions for their children. As students were interviewed in school classes, the project also allows to study the influence of school and peers within the school class.

Tasks
The PhD student is expected to:
-analyze survey data with sophisticated multi-level modelling techniques;
-conduct a small data collection among the schools that participate in the study;
-write articles for international peer reviewed scientific journals;
-write a PhD thesis;
-participate in the activities of the research programme Social Inequalities and the Life Course (SILC) of the Department;
-contribute to the teaching tasks of the Department.

Requirements
We are looking for a candidate (f/m) with a relevant university Masters degree in Sociology, Demography or another Social Science. Excellent knowledge of quantitative methods of analysis is required. The PhD research candidate needs to be proficient in spoken and written English.

Further particulars
The PhD position will be available at the VU University Amsterdam in the Department of Social Research Methodology. The appointment will be available initially for 12 months. After a successful evaluation the contract will be prolonged with 36 months. The candidate will participate in the PhD programme of the Faculty of Social Sciences. Salary The salary is € 2.042,- gross per month in the first year, increasing to € 2.612,- in the fourth year based on full-time employment.

BEASISWA DI AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIAN BICENTENNIAL SCHOLARSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIPS TRUST

2010-03-15T17:49:00.000-07:00

Each year the Australian Bicentennial Scholarships and Fellowships Trust invites applications from Australian postgraduate students or academic staff members for Australian Bicentennial Scholarships and Fellowships tenable in the United Kingdom.

The objects of the scheme, as defined in the deed of Trust, are to 'promote scholarship, intellectual links, and mutual awareness and understanding between the United Kingdom and Australia, in particular: a) to enable United Kingdom graduates to study in approved courses or undertake approved research in Australia; b) to enable Australian graduates to study in approved courses or undertake approved research in the United Kingdom; and c) to make allowance within the Scheme for disadvantaged persons.'

An applicant for a Scholarship must be registered as a post-graduate student at an Australian tertiary institution, or be eligible for such registration at a UK tertiary institution, and be usually resident in Australia. He/she should normally have at least an upper second class honours degree.

An applicant for a Fellowship should have a good post-graduate degree or equivalent experience, and should be seeking to further his/her education or professional experience but not through taking a further degree.

Candidates may be in any discipline, but they must demonstrate that there are special scholarly or practical advantages to be gained from a period of study in the UK, and that an appropriate host institution is available. Younger scholars are preferred, but while there is no formal age limit a scholar or fellow must be likely to be able to make a formal contribution in his/her field for at least ten years. Each scholarship or fellowship will offer a grant of up to £4,000, and may be used to supplement other awards. Please note that preference is often given to applicants who can demonstrate that a Bicentennial grant will complete a guaranteed funding package for the whole degree or project. A successful applicant must spend at least three months studying in the UK. A detailed report (guidelines below) on the scholarship/fellowship is required within three months of the scholar's/fellow's return to Australia.

The application should include:

a curriculum vitae
the names of two referees
a statement of the research project (approximately 2 sides of A4) and where it is to be carried out
a signed hard copy of the application form
evidence of having been accepted by the proposed host institution (this may be forwarded to us separately)
and details of any other awards applied for or received.

Please note that no other application form will be accepted. Incomplete applications will be considered ineligible. Applicants must arrange for their referees to send their reports direct to the Menzies Centre. References may be emailed to menzies.centre@kcl.ac.uk. The Centre does not pursue late references.

Monies will be released between 12 August 2010 and 31 July 2011. A scholar/fellow must take up the award by 31 July 2011 or forfeit it.

Applications and references for 2010 will be accepted between 1 February and 29 March 2010.

Awards are normally announced 2 months later.

2009 Asia Pacific Human Development Academic Fellowship on Climate Change & Human Development

2009-07-25T21:40:00.000-07:00

2009 Asia Pacific Human Development Academic Fellowship on Climate Change & Human Development [Due: 1 Sep. '09]
Context and Objective

The human development approach puts people at the centre of development. It recognizes economic drivers for change but goes beyond them to raise issues of enlarging human capabilities and expanding people’s choices. The objective of the Academic Fellowship is to encourage young Ph.D. students from the Asia Pacifific region to analyse critical development issues from a human development perspective, contributing to development theory, applications and policies. Thus, the Fellows are expected to push the frontiers of research on human development while analyzing, through the human development lens, issues directly or indirectly related to human development. The research must focus on a well-defifined aspect of human development under the theme selected

Please see our brochure on “Human Development Fellows” for information on 2005-2008 recipients of Fellowships:

http://www2. undprcc.lk/ about_us/ fellowship. php

Theme – Climate Change and Human Development

Human development is about expanding human potential and enlarging human freedom. Climate change is a human development challenge, as it threatens to erode human freedoms and limit choice and plunge large numbers into poverty and hardship.

Climate change is hampering efforts to deliver the MDG promise as it undermines international efforts to combat poverty and exacerbates already existing inequalities. Those, in turn, can result in an increase in conflict over sharing natural resources. Climate change is in fact an increasingly powerful driver of wider inequalities between and within countries, also between women and men.

Climate change can result in increased frequency of extreme weather events, flooding, storms, drought, increases in sea temperatures, and melting of glaciers, etc., which effect negatively agriculture and health/nutrition. This has negative implications on the livelihood of poor and vulnerable communities who depend largely on agriculture and natural resource management. In particular, women are affected in their roles of food producers and providers, guardians of health, and care givers. Reduced employment opportunities, for example for women working in agricultural fifields, constitute a net loss in income which leads to a loss in savings, making it even harder for households to cope with disasters.

The magnitude of this long term challenge can be assessed considering that an additional 1.8 billion people are expected to face water stress by 2080, with large areas of Central Asia, northern parts of South Asia and northern China facing a grave ecological crisis as a result of glacial retreat and changed rainfall patterns. Up to 330 million people in coastal and low-lying areas are expected to be displaced through flflooding and tropical storm activity. In the Asia Pacific region, in particular, over 70 million people in Bangladesh and 22 million people in Viet Nam could be affected by global warming-related flflooding.

What are the mechanisms through which the ecological impacts of climate change affect the poor? Are there examples of good practices to ensure climate and human security?

Have climate change and other environmental concerns been integrated in development planning in the context of environment protection and sustainable development? What has been the effectiveness of policies introduced? What is a possible agenda to promote human development and climate security? These are some of the questions that could be addressed.

The Fellowship

The UNDP Human Development Academic Fellowship for Asia Pacific carries an award of US$ 10,000. The students will be required to submit to UNDP a copy of their fifinal approved dissertation. In addition, Fellows may be expected to present their work in workshops/seminars and other events arranged by UNDP (travelrelated costs will be covered separately).

The thesis will acknowledge UNDP’s support by saying: “The author acknowledges the financial support received from the UNDP Asia Pacific Human Development Academic Fellowship for the research.”
