When I'm blog walking and surfing on the net, I found a good news about: Next Generation Leadership Fellowships – 2010/2011 – National Bureau-Asian Research – US citizens/ Master’s Degree – Washington D.C – South Africa

The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) offers fellowships to master’s level students and professional degree holders to work at the NBR headquarters in Seattle for one year.

Application Instructions:
Applications for 2010-2011 fellowships will be accepted beginning December 1, 2009. Applicants are required to submit the following:

  • Curriculum vitae/resume
  • 750-word essay stating their interest in applying for a particular topical and regional research area, and how their research within that area would contribute to NBR’s research agenda
  • Three written references (one outside of academia), emailed directly by those writing them to NBR with subject line “applicant name, application,” by January 16, 2010.
  • Application Form

Please email the above materials to nextgen@nbr.org. Should you have any questions about the application process, please email Kailani Chin-Hidano, also at nextgen(AT)nbr.org. All application materials, including reference letters, must be received by January 16, 2010.

Fellowship Eligibility:
U.S. citizenship or permanent residence status (by time of application deadline) is required. The applicant must have completed a master’s degree by the time the fellowship begins. Individuals who have received their master’s degree diplomas up to twelve months prior to the application deadline may apply to the program. Prospective fellows should apply only for the year that they expect to participate. No deferrals are permitted.

Fellowship Benefits:
For each fellow, regardless of his or her career trajectory, the program provides an extraordinary opportunity. Fellows who go on to specialize in Asia scholarship will have been exposed to the policy relevance of research. Those who choose a policy-related career will have been exposed to the importance of quality scholarship. Fellows who choose other career paths, whether in the private, nonprofit, or media sectors, will have been exposed to the dynamic intersection of policy and scholarship.
One thing will hold true for all alumni of The Next Generation Leadership Program: They will be young leaders capable of making a significant difference in how the United States relates to Asia. Their engagement in critical efforts to ensure that policy is well-informed by the best academic research available will shape their contributions as leaders and strengthen their impacts in their various fields. Fellows will acquire or refine skills in:

  • analysis, research, and writing
  • written presentation of research in a format that is useful to policymakers
  • briefing skills
  • team collaboration
  • project management
  • understanding U.S. foreign policy processes

Each fellow will receive a $32,500 fellowship award (with benefits), as well as a stipend for relocation expenses.

Important dates:
January 15, 2010: Applications due at nextgen@nbr.org
January–February 2010: Applications reviewed and evaluated by NBR Program Committee and Selection Committee

As part of Google’s ongoing commitment to furthering Anita’s vision, we are pleased to announce The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship: Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Through the scholarship, we aim to encourage women to excel in computing and technology, and become active role models and leaders.

Multiple scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of candidates’ academic performance, leadership experience and demonstrated passion for computer science. A group of female Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD student finalists will be chosen from the applicant pool. The scholarship recipients will each receive a €7,000 (or equivalent) scholarship.

In June 2010, all scholarship recipients and finalists will be invited to visit Google’s Engineering Centre in Zurich for a networking retreat. It will include workshops with a series of speakers, panels, breakout sessions and social activities, and will provide an opportunity for all finalists to meet and share their experiences.
Eligibility requirements

Candidates must:

* Be a female student entering her final year of a Bachelor’s degree, or enrolled in an a Master’s or PhD programme (or equivalent), in 2010/2011.
* Be enrolled at a University in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa. Citizens, permanent residents, and international students are eligible to apply.
* Be studying Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Informatics, or a closely related technical field.
* Maintain an excellent academic record (e.g. a First Class Honours degree).

How to apply

Please complete the online application and submit all requested documents by 1st February 2010. All application documents must be in English.

All applications will be acknowledged by email. Finalists will be notified in April 2010. Scholarship recipients will be selected from the finalists.

* Degrees held, universities attended, and expected graduation date
* Up-to-date copy of your CV
* Answers to the following short essay questions (suggested word count is 400-600 words per question):
1. Describe a significant technical project you have worked on. If you have worked on a major independent research project (such as research for a Master’s or PhD programme), please describe that work here. Give an overview of the problem and your approaches to the key technical challenges. If this was a group effort, be sure to specify your individual role and contributions.
2. Give one or two examples of your leadership abilities. Explain how you were influential and what you were trying to achieve. These need not be demonstrated through formal or traditional leadership roles. Feel free to think broadly and examine the many ways you impact members of your technical community.

Ph.D Scholarship in Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Netherland

A PhD student position in the area of quantum optics and solid-state physics is available at the Photonics and Semiconductor Nanophysics group at the Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands).

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanostructures with a three-dimensional confinement potential, resulting in a quantized energy structure and atom-like radiative emission properties. Single QDs in optical nanocavities provide an ideal framework to investigate cavity quantum electrodynamic (QED) effects in a solid-state environment, with important potential applications to quantum information processing.

This project, funded by the Dutch Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM), aims at investigating the dynamic control of cavity QED effects by the application of ultrafast electric fields. By applying a time-dependent electric field on QDs in photonic crystal nanocavities, we will dynamically tune the exciton energy and therefore control the coupling with the cavity mode in a timescale faster than the spontaneous emission time. We aim at demonstrating the control of the photon waveform, and the generation of entangled light-matter states, by the control of the weak- and strong-coupling regime, respectively.

Requirements

University Graduate

We welcome applications from candidates with a Master degree and an excellent academic record in physics (condensed matter or optical physics). Candidates must prove a strong attitude towards experimental physics. Candidates with engineering or material science background will not be considered.
