Scholarship Open for International Students: No


Scholarship Description: Senior researcher for the coordination of a major research project on implantable glucose sensors. UGent is hiring a senior researcher to be coordinator of a major ongoing research project on continuous glucose monitoring on the basis of silicon photonics. This research is part of a Flemish IWT supported project SBO-Glucosens. GlucoSens aims at the development of enabling technologies for continuous glucose monitoring using implantable single-chip optical sensors. The lifetime of commercially available, implantable electro-chemical glucose sensors is limited to a few days mainly due to bio-fouling and fibrous encapsulation. An optical approach can solve this issue. Within Glucosens, we develop the technology to use a silicon photonics chip packaged in a biocompatible material, an optical approach which might enable the extended lifetime.

Graduate Fellowships from Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology (SMART), Singapore

Study Subject(s):Future Urban Mobility Systems
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART)
Scholarship can be taken at: Singapore

Eligibility:
Student must have graduated with an undergraduate degree at the level of a first class or second uppers (equivalent).

Scholarship Open for International Students: Yes

Scholarship Description: The goal of the FM IRG is to develop, in and beyond Singapore, new paradigms for the planning, design and operation of future urban mobility systems. Innovative urban mobility systems, aimed at both passengers and freight, will materially enhance sustainability and societal well-being on a global scale.

This is a particularly opportune time to address this topic due to a confluence of relevant developments: major advances in computing, communications, and sensing technologies; the great progress that has been made in recent years in our ability to model, evaluate and optimize urban mobility systems; the growing importance of environmental sustainability issues; the aging of physical infrastructure in developed countries and the need for massive new infrastructure in less developed ones; and the vast economic stimulus that can be provided by the modernization and renewal of urban mobility systems worldwide.

The FM IRG will:

-harness and enhance promising networked computing and control (NCC) technology-enabled innovations that may contribute to improved future urban mobility;
-develop decision models that can be applied to support various novel mobility concepts, such as the pervasive use of real-time information, mobility-on-demand services and green logistics;
-investigate the potential and impacts of these innovations and decision models;
-and assess their implications for urban development and urban planning organizations and institutions.

The concrete project is the following: Real-time Path Tracking/Predictions and On-Demand Route Guidance Under Uncertainty Develop algorithms that use real-time data to:

(i) track and predict paths in dynamic transportation networks
(ii) provide on-demand route guidance under uncertainty.

How to Apply: Please send detailed curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, three references, and relevant publications (if applicable) electronically to: Prof. Justin Dauwels(recruitment-at-dauwels.com)

PhD Studentship in the field of computer science and Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden

Study Subject(s):Functional Programming
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: Chalmers University
Scholarship can be taken at: Sweden

Eligibility:-We are looking for a creative person with an excellent Bachelors or Masters degree, and a keen interest in functional programming.
-You should have carried out significant projects in a functional language, perhaps as a Bachelors or Masters thesis.
-We would like to see some concrete evidence of your activities in functional programming.
-For that, you could send us a published paper of your work, which constitutes a considerable merit, an extended abstract, a technical report, or a copy of your bachelors or masters thesis.

Scholarship Open for International Students: No

Scholarship Description: Functional programming is enjoying an unprecedented surge of interest, with languages such as Erlang, Scala and Haskell seeing high-profile applications in companies large and small. A major reason is the much improved productivity that software developers can enjoy, by adopting functional programming. With intense competition from emerging economies, productivity improvements are vital if the West is to retain its software industry. We have secured a large, five-year strategic research grant to bring these benefits to two new areas: signal processing and low-level control in the system layer of products such as radio base stations for mobile broadband, and real-time automotive software built around the AUTOSAR standard. Our approach is to combine domain-specific languages embedded in Haskell or Erlang with rapid verification based on property-based testing (QuickCheck) and automated proof tools. Our work is carried out in close cooperation with industry, and has the potential to make a real impact in key industrial sectors.
