Bayer Young Environmental Envoy Program : studies in Germany

Highlights:

1. As a research-based enterprise, Bayer also places great emphasis on promoting science education for young people and has therefore been committed to promoting youth environmental programs for many years. In cooperation with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Bayer organizes and promotes a number of specific projects which aim to improve knowledge about the environment among young people and support them in their environmental commitment. One of these projects is the “Bayer Young Environmental Envoy Program”.
2. Under this program, selected students go to Germany on a weeklong study tour to experience how environmental protection is practiced by people, government and industry in one of the leading countries with regards to technology and environmental awareness.

Fellowships for Master of Science International Health Degree Programme

Highlights:

1. The European Master of Science Programme in International Health is part of tropEd, a network of 33 European and 7 non-European institutions for higher education. In existence since 1996, tropEd collaborates closely with institutions in Asia, Africa, and the Americas in providing postgraduate education and training opportunities.
2. The European Master of Science Programme in International Health is a one year, full-time study programme taught in English excepted in Mexico (in spanish). The main objective of the programme is to raise awareness of current global health concerns. Students become qualified to identify and critically analyse key factors shaping the health and well-being of populations in low- and middle-income countries and to formulate effective and appropriate responses to complex health-related issues.

Research positions in Criminology at University of Leicester

Highlights:

1. The Department of Criminology invites applications from prospective PhD students for two studentships in Criminology commencing October 2010. One studentship is full-time and includes a stipend and tuition fees at the UK/EU rate over three years. The stipend is equivalent to that provided by the research councils, currently £13,290 for 2009/10, (but will be updated for 2010/11). Overseas applicants may be considered on a 'reduced-stipend plus fee waiver' package. The second studentship is part-time and covers tuition fees (at the UK/EU rate only) over five years.
2. The Department would welcome proposals in any area of Criminology but ideally falling within one or more of staff specialist research interests. These can be found on the staff and research pages of the departmental website (see http://www.le.ac.uk/criminology/) and include: hate crime and targeted violence, gangs and youth crime, football violence, policing, crime and the media, crime film, global policing, security and terrorism, penal policy, sentencing, prison arts and education, the arts in the criminal justice system, prison architecture, retail crime and loss prevention, forensic mental health and secure mental health provision, developmental life-course criminology.

Postdoctoral position in Microstructural Evolution of Advanced Aluminium Alloys

Highlights:

1. The Australian Centre for Microscopy & Microanalysis (ACMM) is the headquarters of the Australian Microscopy and Microanalysis Research Facility (AMMRF), a major collaboration between government and universities.
2. The Centre recognises the substantial role that microscopy, imaging and microanalysis are set to play in the next decade, as biotechnology and nanoscience have increasing impact on science and society. The Centre provides leadership, innovation and ingenuity in Australian science and engineering research.
3. Located on the University's Camperdown campus, our centre hosts world-class facilities, and is renowned for its research excellence. We are also a major node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Design in Light Metals, and researchers have access to an outstanding array of nanostructural analysis equipment, both within the Centre and at our partner nodes.
4. The ACMM is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to conduct advanced microstructural characterisations of advanced Al alloys using microscopy and microanalysis techniques. You will be involved in the study of the solute partitioning during early-stage precipitation in advanced Al alloys with addition of micro-alloying elements. You will use advanced experimental techniques including Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Atom Probe Tomography for precipitate phase identification and composition analysis. Our Centre attracts high-profile scientists and research groups, so an ability to communicate and work with others will be crucial. In addition, you will need to have the ability to write quality manuscripts that are suitable for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
