Visiting Researcher Bursaries (Europe)
4 Visiting Researcher Bursaries,Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD-Europe)
To mark the fourth anniversary of its launch, AOSD-Europe, the European Network of Excellence on Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD), is offering four visiting researcher bursaries aimed at PhD students or early post-docs (within first 2 years of their PhD award date) external to the network.
Deadline: 11 Aug 2008
Bursary value: € 2000 eachVisit duration: 1 month (15 September – 15 October 2008)
To mark the fourth anniversary of its launch, AOSD-Europe, the European Network of Excellence on Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD), is offering four visiting researcher bursaries aimed at PhD students or early post-docs (within first 2 years of their PhD award date) external to the network. Each bursary is to the value of €2000 in order to cover travel and subsistence expenses (the bursary can complement an existing grant that the applicant may have). The bursaries are for researchers who are *not* currently employed or pursuing studies at one of the AOSD-Europe partner sites. Each bursary will provide the successful candidate an opportunity to be based in one of the four geographically distributed research labs of the network for a duration of 1 month. These labs are as follows:
Analysis and Design Lab
Languages Lab
Formal Methods
Applications Lab
AOSD-Europe is an academia-industry collaboration funded by the EC FP6 Programme aimed at addressing research challenges in AOSD on a large-scale: from requirements analysis and design through to implementation and validation. Research in the project is organised into four geographically distributed research labs. The Analysis and Design lab addresses research issues relating to aspect-oriented requirements engineering and architecture/design modelling. Work in the Languages lab focuses on novel aspect language features and implementation technologies. The Formal Methods lab is concerned with verification and validation challenges for AOSD techniques. The Applications lab is a medium for experimentally and empirically validating the research results in large-scale applications and middleware.
Each successful candidate will be expected to work closely with the body of researchers involved in one of the four labs. The candidate will be based at one or two locations (depending on the focus of the work) during his/her visit and will have an opportunity to work with leading researchers in AOSD. S/he will also be able to work with state-of-the-art AOSD tools offered by the AOSD-Europe Atelier: a software workbench for AOSD.
There are four bursaries available, one for each lab. However, excellence will be the sole criteria for award of the bursaries. We also encourage applications which cross lab boundaries. Two bursaries are specifically aimed at spending all or part of the period at Lancaster University, UK, the project coordinator, and hence will provide holders an opportunity to gain a global view of the network’s activities.
Prospective candidates should submit the following documentation by 16:00 GMT on 11 August to Diane Brackley d.brackley@comp.lancs.ac.uk
A cover letter highlighting why the bursary would be beneficial to the applicant at this stage in his/her career and the relationship of the proposed research with the applicant’s current research. The letter should also indicate which particular lab the applicant would like to be placed in (or if the research is considered to be of a cross-lab nature);
Curriculum Vitae including a list of relevant publications;
A proposal (1 side of A4) providing a problem statement and the potential research that will be pursued during the course of the visit;
A letter of recommendation from the applicant’s PhD supervisor.
Prospective candidates are welcome to discuss their interests informally beforehand with the project coordinator, Prof. Awais Rashid (awais@comp.lancs.ac.uk)

Each successful candidate will be expected to work closely with the body of researchers involved in one of the four labs. The candidate will be based at one or two locations (depending on the focus of the work) during his/her visit and will have an opportunity to work with leading researchers in AOSD. S/he will also be able to work with state-of-the-art AOSD tools offered by the AOSD-Europe Atelier: a software workbench for AOSD.
There are four bursaries available, one for each lab. However, excellence will be the sole criteria for award of the bursaries. We also encourage applications which cross lab boundaries. Two bursaries are specifically aimed at spending all or part of the period at Lancaster University, UK, the project coordinator, and hence will provide holders an opportunity to gain a global view of the network’s activities.
Prospective candidates should submit the following documentation by 16:00 GMT on 11 August to Diane Brackley d.brackley@comp.lancs.ac.uk
A cover letter highlighting why the bursary would be beneficial to the applicant at this stage in his/her career and the relationship of the proposed research with the applicant’s current research. The letter should also indicate which particular lab the applicant would like to be placed in (or if the research is considered to be of a cross-lab nature);
Curriculum Vitae including a list of relevant publications;
A proposal (1 side of A4) providing a problem statement and the potential research that will be pursued during the course of the visit;
A letter of recommendation from the applicant’s PhD supervisor.
Prospective candidates are welcome to discuss their interests informally beforehand with the project coordinator, Prof. Awais Rashid (awais@comp.lancs.ac.uk)

Fellowships in Washington (USA)
Fellowships at Woodrow Wilson Center, Washington (USA)
The Woodrow Wilson Inernational Center invites applications for (approximately 20-25) residential fellowships for the year 2009-10, from individuals with outstanding project proposals in a broad range of the social sciences and humanities on national and/or international issues. Topics and scholarship should relate to key public policy challenges or provide the historical and/or cultural framework to illuminate policy issues of contemporary importance.
Deadline: 01 Oct 2008
Eligibility
Citizens or permanent residents from any country (foreign nationals must be able to hold a valid passport and obtain a J1 Visa)
Men and women with outstanding capabilities and experience from a wide variety of -backgrounds (including government, the corporate world, professions, and academia)
Academic candidates holding a Ph.D. (Ph.D. must be received by the application deadline of October 1)
Academic candidates demonstrating scholarly achievement by publications beyond their doctoral dissertations
Practitioners or policymakers with an equivalent level of professional achievement
English proficiency as the Center is designed to encourage the exchange of ideas among its fellows
Ineligibility
Applicants working on a degree (even if the degree is to be awarded prior to the proposed fellowship year)
Proposals of a partisan or advocacy nature
Primary research in the natural sciences
Projects that create musical composition or dance
Projects in the visual arts
Projects that are the rewriting of doctoral dissertations
The editing of texts, papers, or documents
The preparation of textbooks, anthologies, translations, and memoirs
Selection Process
Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. External interdisciplinary panels of distinguished scholars and practitioners assess the applications. The panels’ recommendations are presented to the Center’s Fellowships Committee of the Board of Trustees, composed of public officials who serve ex officio, citizens appointed by the President of the United States, and citizens from the private sector. The Fellowships Committee of the Board of Trustees makes the final decisions on selection.
The basic criteria for selection are:
significance of the proposed research, including the importance and originality of the project;
quality of the proposal in definition, organization, clarity, and scope;
capabilities and achievements of the applicant and the likelihood that the applicant will accomplish the proposed project;
the relevance of the project to contemporary policy issues.
The Center welcomes in particular those projects that transcend narrow specialties and methodological issues of interest only within a specific academic discipline. Projects should involve fresh research—in terms of both the overall field and the author’s previous work. It is essential that projects have relevance to the world of public policy, and fellows should want, and be prepared, to interact with policymakers in Washington and with Wilson Center staff who are working on similar issues.
Themes
The Center devotes significant attention to the exploration of broad thematic areas.
Primary themes are:
governance, including such issues as the key features of the development of democratic institutions, democratic society, civil society, and citizen participation;
the U.S. role in the world and issues of partnership and leadership—military, political, and economic dimensions; and
key long-term future challenges confronting the United States and the world.
While the Center does not engage in formulating actual policy, priority will be given to proposals related to these themes and intersecting with crucial public policy issues. Within this framework, the Center also welcomes projects that provide the historical and/or cultural context for some of today’s significant public policy debates.
Fellows’ Responsibilities
The Center’s “scholars in residence” are so in both name and fact. Fellows are expected to work from their offices at the Center and to participate in appropriate meetings organized by the Center. Fellows are also expected to present their research at our informal internal Work-in-Progress seminars, and to attend the Work-in-Progress presentations given by their colleagues. In addition, fellows are encouraged to make a more formal presentation to the public such as a colloquium, seminar, workshop, or other form of meeting. The Center expects all fellows to seek ways to share their expertise with the Washington policy community. The form of such interaction could range from a deep background briefing for an executive branch agency to an informal roundtable discussion with members of Congress and their staffs.
Stipend
The Center tries to ensure that the stipend provided under the fellowship, together with the fellow’s other sources of funding (e.g., grants secured by the applicant and sabbatical allowances), approximate a fellow’s regular salary. Stipends provided in recent years have ranged from $26,000 to $85,000 (the maximum possible). Stipends include round trip travel for fellows. If spouses and/or dependent children will reside with the fellow for the entire fellowship period, money for their travel will also be included in the stipend. In addition to stipends, the Center provides 75 percent of health insurance premiums for fellows who elect Center coverage and for their accompanying family members.
Length of Appointment
Fellows are expected to be in residence for the entire U.S. academic year (early September through May, i.e., nine months), although a few fellowships are occasionally awarded for shorter periods with a minimum of four months. The Center does not award fellowships for the summer months (June, July, August). Fellowships cannot be deferred, and extensions into the summer months have not been possible in recent years.
Deadline for Applications
The Center holds one round of competitive selection per year. Fellowship applications must be postmarked or submitted online by October 1, 2008. Applicants are notified of the results of the selection process by March of the following year.
Application Instructions and Further information
Applications forms, instructions and further information is available on Wilson Centre website:http://www.wilsoncenter.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=fellowships.welcome

DAAD Scholarships for Pakistani students (Germany)
DAAD Scholarships for Pakistani students (Germany)
The scholarships are offered by the DAAD are awarded to university graduates from all academic disciplines to study in Germany. There are Scholaships for Research Grants, Sandwich Programmes and Revisit Grants (named Scheme A in the description below) and Scholarships for a Postgraduate Course with Relevance to Developing Countries (named Scheme B in the description below).
Deadline (Scheme A): 15 Sep 2008Deadline (Scheme B): 31 Aug 2008
(Scheme A)Research Grants for Doctoral Candidates and Young Academics and Scientists
Objective
Research grants provide young foreign academics and scientists (including Pakistanis) with an opportunity to carry out a research project or a course of continuing education and training at a German state (public) or state-recognised higher education institution or non-university research institute. Research grants can be used to carry out:
research projects at a German higher education institution for the purpose of gaining a doctorate in the home country (this includes the doctoral programmes offered for developing and transformation countries under the "DAAD Sandwich Model" - see Information Leaflet, which is also available on the Internet www.daad.de/extrainfo);
research projects at a German university for the purpose of gaining a doctorate in Germany; for projects of these kinds, we would particularly refer to the structured doctoral study programmes, such as Research Training Groups or Doctoral Research Groups, International Postgraduate Programmes, Graduate Schools, Max Planck Research Schools, etc. Please go to the following website for further information: www.daad.de/ipp;
research projects or continuing education and training, but without aiming for a formal degree/qualification.
Duration
The length of the grant is set by the grant committee at the selection session. Depending on the project in question and on the applicant's work schedule, grants can be paid generally for between one and ten months, in the case of full doctoral programmes in Germany for up to three years, and in exceptions for up to a maximum of four years.
Support can only be provided for the completion of a full doctoral programme in Germany when special support policy reasons exist. Such reasons include, for example, the lack of comparable research or academic supervision opportunities in the home country or when the doctoral topic requires several years of research in Germany.
Support for full doctoral programmes in Germany is based on a programme length of three years; if foreign graduates first have to qualify for admission to a doctoral programme, then grants can be awarded for a period of four years. Even when support has been awarded for a full doctoral programme, that award will initially be limited to a maximum of one year. Extensions then depend on whether or not the evaluation finds the previous award period to have been successfully completed.
Value
Depending on the award holder's academic level, the DAAD will pay a monthly award of 750 euros (graduates holding a first degree) or 1,000 euros (doctoral candidates). As a rule, the scholarship additionally includes certain payments towards health insurance cover in Germany. Furthermore, the DAAD generally will pay an appropriate flat-rate travel allowance, unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source.
Award holders completing a stay of more than six months receive a study and research allowance plus, where appropriate, a rent subsidy and family allowance. Funding for attendance of a language course is decided on a case-by-case basis (cf. Requirements).
When award holders take doctoral programmes run under the "DAAD Sandwich Model", then the award may include the travel expenses of an academic supervisor - as long as this was already applied for in the first application.
Requirements
Applications for DAAD research grants are open to excellently-qualified university graduates who hold a Diplom or Master's degree at the time they commence the grant-supported research and, in exceptional cases, graduates holding a Bachelor's degree or already holding a doctorate/PhD (post-docs).
It is required that doctoral candidates wishing to take a doctorate/PhD in their home country will already have been admitted to an appropriate course at their home university.
The application papers must generally include written confirmation of academic supervision by a professor in Germany and expressly refer to the applicant's project, thereby confirming that the host institute will provide a workplace. If the applicant is planning to complete a doctorate at the German host university, the letter of confirmation must come from the academic supervisor (Doktorvater/Doktormutter) for the applicant's doctoral programme/thesis.
Applicants who intend to gain their doctorate within the scope of a structured doctoral study programme are required to present a letter of admission from their study programme or at least proof that they are being considered for admission.
Besides previous study achievements, the most important selection criterion is a convincing and well-planned research or continuing education and training project to be completed during the stay in Germany and which has been coordinated and agreed with an academic supervisor at the chosen German host institute.
German language skills are generally required, although the required level also depends on the applicant's project and topic, as well as on the available opportunities for learning German in the applicant's home country. In the natural sciences and in engineering disciplines, in particular, and when English is spoken at the host institute, proof of good English language skills may also be accepted. The DAAD decides on a case-by-case basis whether the applicant can attend a German language course before beginning the research grant (free of charge for the award holder). This option is only available for research grants lasting more than six months. The country-specific information on the DAAD homepage will tell you which language skills are required from applicants from your home country.
At the time of application, generally no more than six years should have passed since the graduate gained the last degree; in the case of doctoral students, no more than three years should have passed since starting the doctoral process; and in the case of postdocs, no more than four years should have passed since gaining the doctorate. Depending on the country of origin of applicants, for example, special conditions prevailing in the home country education system, etc., exceptions are possible. The country-specific information on the DAAD homepage will provide you with more detailed information.
Applicants, who have been resident in Germany for longer than one year at the time of application, cannot be considered.
Special note for medical students: The special leaflet "Additional information on DAAD-research-grants for applicants from medical fields" provides information on specific requirements (also available on the Internet www.daad.de/extrainfo).
Application Form and Deadline:
Relevant Application Forms can be downloaded here.
Two complete set of documents should be sent to the German Embassy in Pakistan before the deadline.
The application deadline for these scholarships (Research Grants, Sandwich Programmes and Revisit Grants) is the 15th September 2008.

(Scheme B)Postgraduate Degree Courses with Relevance to Developing Countries
Objective
"Postgraduate degree courses with relevance to developing countries" aim to qualify experts and executives from developing countries in fields such as trade, business and administration. These postgraduate degree courses offer career-based and practice-oriented initial and continuing training. Their content focuses on key development policy questions and they stand out by delivering practice-relevant know-how.Detailed information and a list of the courses and programmes can be found in the collection of "International Degree Programmes" available on the DAAD homepage http://www.daad.de/deutschland/studium/idp/04709.en.html
Duration
Those degree courses which end with a Master's degree generally last between 12 and 24 months. The three degree courses leading to a doctorate generally last 36 months.
In most cases, studies begin in October, while the preparatory German language courses start in April or August. Differing arrangements are specified in the description of the individual degree courses and programmes.
Value
A monthly scholarship instalment is paid. Its level is based on the scholarship holder's level of qualification (as a rule € 715 or € 975).
Requirements
Application is open to experts and executives from developing countries who hold a university degree and have gained at least two years of career experience in a position in industry, business or administration which is relevant to the respective chosen postgraduate degree course.
Age limit: 36 at the time of application (some postgraduate degree courses set an age limit of 32)
Language skills: Where postgraduate degree courses are instructed in English, applicants are required to have passed a TOEFL Test (minimum of 550 points) or an IELTS Test (Band 6). Where courses are taught in German, students will ideally have Grundstufe 3 (Beginners' Level 3) language skills. Participants in English-instructed postgraduate degree courses have an opportunity to attend a two-month intensive language course before their full studies commence. Scholarship holders taking German-instructed degree courses have an opportunity to attend a six-month intensive language course before their full studies begin. Important exception: The degree course in "International Marketing" offered at the FH Reutlingen University of Applied Sciences requires students to have excellent German language skills (DSH, TestDaF). No preparatory language course is offered.
The specific admissions requirements for individual degree courses can be found in the course descriptions which the German diplomatic missions and the DAAD regional offices abroad have available for consultation.
Application Form and Deadline:
Relevant Application Forms can be downloaded from http://www.daad.de/deutschland/download/03118.en.html

Applications for DAAD research grants are open to excellently-qualified university graduates who hold a Diplom or Master's degree at the time they commence the grant-supported research and, in exceptional cases, graduates holding a Bachelor's degree or already holding a doctorate/PhD (post-docs).
It is required that doctoral candidates wishing to take a doctorate/PhD in their home country will already have been admitted to an appropriate course at their home university.
The application papers must generally include written confirmation of academic supervision by a professor in Germany and expressly refer to the applicant's project, thereby confirming that the host institute will provide a workplace. If the applicant is planning to complete a doctorate at the German host university, the letter of confirmation must come from the academic supervisor (Doktorvater/Doktormutter) for the applicant's doctoral programme/thesis.
Applicants who intend to gain their doctorate within the scope of a structured doctoral study programme are required to present a letter of admission from their study programme or at least proof that they are being considered for admission.
Besides previous study achievements, the most important selection criterion is a convincing and well-planned research or continuing education and training project to be completed during the stay in Germany and which has been coordinated and agreed with an academic supervisor at the chosen German host institute.
German language skills are generally required, although the required level also depends on the applicant's project and topic, as well as on the available opportunities for learning German in the applicant's home country. In the natural sciences and in engineering disciplines, in particular, and when English is spoken at the host institute, proof of good English language skills may also be accepted. The DAAD decides on a case-by-case basis whether the applicant can attend a German language course before beginning the research grant (free of charge for the award holder). This option is only available for research grants lasting more than six months. The country-specific information on the DAAD homepage will tell you which language skills are required from applicants from your home country.
At the time of application, generally no more than six years should have passed since the graduate gained the last degree; in the case of doctoral students, no more than three years should have passed since starting the doctoral process; and in the case of postdocs, no more than four years should have passed since gaining the doctorate. Depending on the country of origin of applicants, for example, special conditions prevailing in the home country education system, etc., exceptions are possible. The country-specific information on the DAAD homepage will provide you with more detailed information.
Applicants, who have been resident in Germany for longer than one year at the time of application, cannot be considered.
Special note for medical students: The special leaflet "Additional information on DAAD-research-grants for applicants from medical fields" provides information on specific requirements (also available on the Internet www.daad.de/extrainfo).

(Scheme B)Postgraduate Degree Courses with Relevance to Developing Countries
Objective
"Postgraduate degree courses with relevance to developing countries" aim to qualify experts and executives from developing countries in fields such as trade, business and administration. These postgraduate degree courses offer career-based and practice-oriented initial and continuing training. Their content focuses on key development policy questions and they stand out by delivering practice-relevant know-how.Detailed information and a list of the courses and programmes can be found in the collection of "International Degree Programmes" available on the DAAD homepage http://www.daad.de/deutschland/studium/idp/04709.en.html
Duration
Those degree courses which end with a Master's degree generally last between 12 and 24 months. The three degree courses leading to a doctorate generally last 36 months.
In most cases, studies begin in October, while the preparatory German language courses start in April or August. Differing arrangements are specified in the description of the individual degree courses and programmes.
Value
A monthly scholarship instalment is paid. Its level is based on the scholarship holder's level of qualification (as a rule € 715 or € 975).

PhD Studentship in Crisis Management in Project Management UK
PhD Studentship in Crisis Management in Project and Programme Management - Cranfield University UK
Cranfield School of Management - one of Europe’s top management schools - is offering this PhD studentship within its International Centre for Programme Management, a world-leading hub for research into this important emerging discipline. The studentship is tenable for four years from October 2008.
The repeated failure of major projects and programmes in the public and private sectors has been linked with the inability of project and programme managers to manage crisis situations effectively. One certainty in a world increasingly saturated with complexity and uncertainty is that the future will be punctuated by sudden, unexpected, and potent events that will require a rapid response. The variety of crisis that can arise in projects and programmes is enourmous.However, there are very few detailed accounts of crisis management. This PhD study will explore the phenomenon of crisis in projects and programmes - its nature, its causes and its resulting managerial behaviour. We envisage that the findings of the study will have significant theoretical and practical implications.
Applications are invited from exceptionally qualified candidates for this fully funded full-time studentship under the supervision of Dr Elmar Kutsch. Applicants should have a good first degree in a relevant discipline. Experience of working on projects is desirable, although not essential. An MBA or relevant specialist masters degree would be an advantage.
The studentship includes full payment of fees at the UK or overseas rate and stipend of £12,940 per annum.

European Master’s in Transnational Trade Law Finance - University of Deusto Spain
EMTTLF - European Master’s in Transnational Trade Law FinanceDuration: 2 years
Course description:
The course in Transnational Law and Finance contains 120 ECTS creditsthat the students willfollow in two academic years and in three of the four participating institutions.
The Programme offers one year of core courses, which provide the fundamental competencies at an advanced level, needed to be able to confront trans-national trade cases. The itinerary is built in a complementary manner starting with the university of Deusto that will focus on the European set up, and moving forward to a more comparative and worldwide approach in the case of Tilburg. 1st Component. (Deusto) In relation to methodology this semester sets the bases of problem solving and analytical thinking at an advanced level counting on the cooperation and relevant case studies offered by representatives of International Organizations dealing with experience in the field of international transactions. In relation to the contents developed, the Master begins offering aview of the main achievements of those Organizations as well as an analysis of the main European Union Instruments in Private International Law relevant for Trans-national Trade. 2nd component. (Tilburg) During this period, the students move from the European level to the International context. The international and comparative focus prepares them for working in international and emerging markets. Also they begin having an option that prepares them to choose the specialization in the coming year.
For the second year three specialization areas offered: Law and Finances in the Institute of Law and Finance in Frankfurt University and European Business Law and Industrial and Intellectual Property in the Robert Schumann Strasbourg University.
The Programme presents therefore two important elements: The core courses that must be followed by all the students. This part of the Master offers every European or non-European student the necessary tools for the analysis of Trans-national trade operations.
The specialization in which the students can choose and the professional or research path.The course also offers linguistic and thematic preparatory courses. 3rd Component: Specializations. The third component gives the students the possibility of deepening their knowledge in three different fields of study, European Business Law; Finance, and Industrial and Intellectual Property.
The students, that will be able to choose between the professional and research path, will be divided in three groups that will follow 60 ECTS either in Frankfurt or in Strasburg. 4th Component: Research/internship
The forth semester includes the forth component of the Programme: Research/internshipAccording to prior experience and future professional paths, master students will be able to choose the balance between two elements.
The research component aims at professionals able to:
·Elaborate innovative solutions to the problems.
Approach reality with creative thinking
Analyse data and asses results
