The Scholarship

The Cardiff School of Engineering is one of the most prestigious engineering schools in the UK. Our main degree schemes have each been ranked top in the UK in various independent assessments in recent times, with Civil Engineering ranked top of the ‘Times League Table’ for the last three years, Mechanical Engineering currently ranked 8th [...]

A Postdoctoral/Research Assistant position (E 13 TV-L) is available at the Cellular Neurophysiology group, Centre of Physiology at the Medical School Hannover (Germany). The main scientific activities of our group are centred on the analysis of time- and space-dependent interactions between G-protein coupled receptors and their effectors leading to the specific functional responses in neurons. [...]

This PhD project aims at developing mechanistic (and also empirical) process models for innovative pharmaceutical production processes (e.g., continuous processing, hot-melt extrusion, freeze-drying,…), and to exploit those models in the development of advanced process control systems. The research will be conducted in close cooperation with pharmaceutical companies. Research results will be published in important scientific [...]

The following awards, which are offered by the University, are open to prospective international undergraduate students commencing their studies in September 2010: International Undergraduate Merit Scholarships (IUMS) IUMS is intended for international students who study for their first degree at Newcastle University. All applicants are considered, based on the information given on their UCAS application [...]

Our lab studies molecular virology of HIV infection and AIDS. Using transcriptome and whole-genome RNA interference analysis, we identified several cellular co-factors of the HIV nef gene. Current studies aim to validate these and to understand the role of Nef in the viral life cycle and pathogenicity. Techniques used are flow cytometry, virus culture, cloning, [...]

The Research Training Group (RTG 1644) on Scaling Problems in Statistics, funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG), seeks applicants for 2 PhD positions in price transmission processes, starting October 1, 2010. Two sub-projects will study the influence of scale on the measurement of vertical and spatial price transmission processes for agricultural and food products. [...]

The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) “The Exploration of Ecological Interactions with Molecular and Chemical Techniques” in Jena, Germany, is offering 7 PhD fellowships beginning in January 2011. Students holding a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in molecular biology, ecology, entomology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, neuroethology or plant physiology, with a proven record of success in [...]

The International Max Planck Research School on Physical Processes in the Solar System and Beyond at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Katlenburg-Lindau, and the Universities of Braunschweig and Goettingen, Germany, offers excellent research possibilities for students to obtain a PhD degree in a 3-years graduate program. The program covers the full [...]
