Fellowships for Scholars Phd Universities

Phd Universities the Institute for Advanced Study is a private, independent institution in Princeton, New Jersey, founded in 1930 to focus on creating a community of scholars on intellectual inquiry, free education and the obligations of the other universities.


Each year,Phd Universities researchers are applying all over the world come to the institute to conduct their own research. These select a subscription for a specified period and offered a scholarship. Members have access to extensive resources of the Institute, includin offices, a library, a restaurant and social housing and office services.

The Phd Universities School of Social Science each year invites as Members around twenty visiting scholars who constitute a genuinely interdisciplinary and international group. A completed doctorate or equivalent is required by the application deadline, and memberships are awarded at both the junior and senior levels. Memberships are awarded for the full academic year only.Phd Universities visiting Members are expected to pursue only their own research, while the School organizes a weekly seminar at which Members as well as invited guests present their ongoing work. The School is not wedded to any particular intellectual or disciplinary approach. It welcomes applications in economics, political science, law, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. It encourages social scientific work with a historical and humanistic bent and also considers applications in history, philosophy, literary criticism, literature, and linguistics. The following thematic focus is neither an exclusive nor excluding theme; it is expected that only one-third of the accepted scholars will pursue work relating to this theme. Phd Universities applications are strongly encouraged from scholars across the social sciences, whether or not their research corresponds to the theme

PhD Universities Position in Solid State NMR

The PhD Universities first project involves the development of NMR methods and the theoretical description of NMR experiments under magic-angle spinning (MAS) conditions. The PhD Universities application of these methods is to study structure and dynamics of biomolecules by solid-state NMR. Successful candidates have graduated in physics or chemistry with a strong interest in theory as well as experimental work.

The second PhD Universities project focuses on the development of a low-temperature magic-angle spinning (MAS) probe at low temperatures (10 K) using liquid Helium for cooling. Such a probe will be used to study tunneling pand hyperpolarization phenomena. PhD Universities successful candidates have graduated in physics or chemistry with a strong interest in experimental work and building hardware. The PhD Universities students will also participate in teaching activities at the institute.

For further information please contact PD Dr. Matthias Ernst (maer@ethz.ch, no appplication) or Prof. Beat Meier (beme@ethz.ch, no application). More details about the research activities of our group can be found at http://www.ssnmr.ethz.ch.

Phd Universities ADBE Consumers and Possessions Studentship,UK

Subject: consumer and property: an interdisciplinary study of sustainable practices
Employer: University of Kent
Level: Doctoral
Scholarship description: The School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment at Nottingham Trent University has an ambitious development strategy that allows us to offer an excellent opportunity for a scholarship for doctoral studies. The scholarships pay UK / EU fees and provide a maintenance bond in connection with the rate of RCUK (£ 13.590 per year for 2011/12) for up to three years. The need to improve the understanding of human behavior in order to sustainable consumption is easy to see progress, is proof that the design of our possessions and our environment locks into particular forms of behavior. This is a scholarship with interdisciplinary research, how people use their property and the built environment towards sustainability and the impact on the design practice. A key will be to knowledge in the field of sustainable architecture, sustainable design and sustainable products leads. Our previous studies have found evidence of inconsistent behavior of consumers in terms of their influence on the environmental impact of various products. Further research is needed to plan these contradictions and the University of the Sustainable Consumption Research Group present a series of seminars to explain the cross. This will examine the use of buildings, clothing, household goods and vehicles and the factors that could cause them to be used in a sustainable way and to explore the reasons for variations in the behavior of users. Other research at the University proposed a theoretical case for the treatment of the effect of the physical form of products on people's behavior. Open University Research Group (objects, practices, experiences and networks) is running a series of events to be considered by the different perspectives on material and size. The outcome of these two initiatives will form the basis of this science, which will change the understanding of pro-environmental behavior can be improved.

Clinical Research Fellow Phd Universities

Salary Range: £31,523 - £39,300 plus £1,505 London Allowance per annum

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease for which there are no cures or drugs which can arrest the disease process. The neurodegenerative disease process has been associated with the accumulation of iron in the brain area affected. Recently we have demonstrated that clinically available iron chelators for treating peripheral iron overload disorders, like beta-thalassemia, are neuroprotectve in in vivo models of PD. We are now translating the development of such chelators, Deferiprone, into clinical trials in PD. In this pilot clinical trial we will be examining the tolerability and efficacy of the iron chelator in newly diagnosed PD patients.

We are seeking an enthusiastic Clinical Research Fellow to join the Deferiprone PD clinical trial team, working under the supervision of Dr David Dexter and Professor Paola Piccini. You will be asked to interact with the movement disorder clinics from which the PD patients will be recruited, and help coordinate the clinical and MRI assessment of the subjects enrolled in the study.

Responsibilities will include, but not restricted to, assisting with the clinical trial management, assisting with recruitment of subjects into the Deferiprone study, neurological assessment of the patients taking part in the trial, assisting the radiographer with the MRI of subjects and subsequent analysis of the MRI scans, record keeping, etc.

Applicants must be medically qualified at a Senior SHO or Specialist Registrar level (ST2 or above), and have full General Medical Council Registration.

This post has been made possible by the award of grants from the Biomedical Research Centre. This full-time, fixed-term appointment is for two years. The post will be based primarily at the Hammersmith Hospital sites located in East Acton, however you may be expected to attend movement disorder clinics at other hospital within the Trust.

For further details or informal enquires contact Dr David Dexter 0207 594 6665 or at d.dexter@imperial.ac.uk

Please note that as this post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, a satisfactory enhanced level Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) Disclosure will be required for the successful candidate.
