International Guest Scholarships 2012 at the American College of Surgeons

The American College of Surgeons offers International Guest Scholarships to competent young surgeons from countries other than the United States or Canada who have demonstrated strong interests in teaching and research. The scholarships, in the amount of $8,000 each, provide the Scholars with an opportunity to visit clinical, teaching, and research activities in North America and to attend and participate fully in the educational opportunities and activities of the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress.

This scholarship endowment was originally provided through the legacy left to the College by Dr. Paul R. Hawley (FACS Hon), former College Director. More recently, gifts from the families of Dr. Abdol Islami (FACS) and Baxiram S. and Kankuben B. Gelot, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, and others to the International Guest Scholarship endowment have enabled the College to expand the number of scholarship awards.

PhD Position in Molecular Study of Neurosensory Development at PRBB, Spain

We are seeking motivated students with an excellent track-record to apply to spanish Ph.D fellowships

The inner ear is one of the most sophisticated sensory organs of the head and is responsible for our communication with the world through the senses of hearing and balance. During the development of the inner ear, many genes are activated in a very precise spatiotemporal manner to coordinate cell fate, morphogenesis and patterning. In our laboratory we have begun to decipher some of the main genetic regulatory interactions between transcription factors and signaling pathways that are necessary for neural patterning of the inner ear. The aim of the project is to further dissect the integration of FGF, RA and Notch signaling inputs in proneural function and the cross-interaction of neurogenic with nonneurogenic genes. Experiments will use cellullar, molecular biology and genomic techniques, and will take advantage of chick and zebrafish model organisms for functional experiments.

EMCL: Erasmus Mundus Masters Scholarship in Clinical Linguistics

The Erasmus Mundus Masters program in Clinical Linguistics (EMCL) is a 24 months full-time interdisciplinary and integrated University program at European level providing training for international students in the fields of:

• Neurolinguistics
• Clinical Linguistics
• Psycholinguistics.

The aim of the EMCL program is to train highly qualified advanced students from the whole world who are excellently prepared for research work and Phd programs in the field of Clinical Linguistics.

Fully Funded PhD Position in SeeQR Project at TU Eindhoven

The SeeQR project is a research collaboration between TU Eindhoven and TU Delft, the leading technical universities in the Netherlands, focusing on web data management. The project has an opening in Eindhoven for a fully funded PhD student position (4 years), supported by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), to start as soon as possible but no later than 1 April 2011.

Motivated by the growing increase in the practical use of semantic web data management technologies such as RDF and SPARQL, e.g., in the Linked Open Data initiative, the PhD student will investigate sophisticated scalable RDF indexing mechanisms and SPARQL query processing strategies over massive dynamically evolving data sets.
