PhD Projects in Microphotonics at Macquarie University PhD Projects in Microphotonics: Direct writing of 2- and 3-D photonic circuits in glass, Sydney, Australia Ultrafast laser direct-writing of embedded lightwave devices in glass has emerged as a significant enabling technology creating new opportunities in microphotonics. At the Centre for Ultrahigh-bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS), Macquarie University, Australia we have projects both investigating the mechanisms leading to the internal modification of glass substrates and utilising these to write waveguides, and discrete components such as amplifiers and filters.
Integrated photonic circuitry enabled by this fabrication platform promise to overcome future bottlenecks in optical fibre networks. PhD opportunities exist to play a primary role in developing next generation optical technology whilst enjoying the benefits of a young, dynamic team on a green campus in Sydney. Attractive PhD scholarships and cotutelle arrangements are available for suitably qualified candidates.

Preparation of reports and papers to support the project will also be required. The successful applicant will be based within the Centre for Water Science at Cranfield University, which undertakes internationally leading research, education and training in technology and associated scientific, engineering and policy issues for the treatment, use and management of water.

UK: 2007 PhD Studentship in Hormone Replacement Therapy
Kategori: Beasiswa studentship (lowongan kerja magang) program doktor/s3 di inggris
PhD Studentship The use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and associated risks Postgraduate Medical School, Department of Pharmacoepidemiology
Project supervisors:
Dr CS de Vries, Professor RDT Farmer, Dr JC Stevenson
Applications are invited from suitably qualified graduates (2:1 or above) for a full-time PhD studentship to work on the efficacy and safety of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT has been used widely for the relief of menopausal symptoms and the prevention and treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis. Publication and interpretation of results from the Women`s Health Initiative (WHI) and the Million Women Study (MWS), however, has created uncertainty about the safety of HRT amongst both clinicians and patients.
The successful applicant will use data from the General Practice Research Database in an epidemiological study to describe the use of HRT, its efficacy and associated risks. There will be a particular focus on how the use of HRT affects the risk of acute myocardial infarction and breast cancer.
The successful applicant will be registered for a PhD (MPhil in the first instance) in the Postgraduate Medical School, University of Surrey. The studentship is available for three years and provides a postgraduate stipend starting from £12,500 per annum
TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT, GRE, SAT Preparation Material. Its Free!!
The post will be based in the Department of Pharmacoepidemiology at the University of Surrey`s Postgraduate Medical School (PGMS), a research-led facility for translational medical research and postgraduate teaching. The successful applicant will work under the day-to-day supervision of the Head of Department (Dr C de Vries) and in close collaboration with Professor Farmer and Dr Stevenson. Potential applicants should note that this PhD studentship is research-based and a capacity and aptitude for independent learning is essential. The work will involve epidemiological design and analysis of a relational medical database and therefore, prior experience with data manipulation in relational database management programmes such as Microsoft Access is advantageous. The successful applicant will be expected to submit research work for publication and for presentation at national and international conferences and to be available to travel within or outside the UK as necessary. In addition, the successful applicant will contribute to and participate in the Department`s in-house training program (teaching sessions, journal club).
PGMS achieved a 5*A rating in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). The Department of Pharmacoepidemiology has a well-established international reputation for its research in drug safety.

It is expected that these will take place in March/early April 2007. The final decisions as to which applicants will be offered scholarships will not be taken at the time of the interviews. These decisions will be taken later by the Human Rights Centre (in conjunction with OSI and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office). It is hoped to inform all applicants by the end of June 2007 as to whether they have been successful, or not.
Please note that successful applicants will be requested to attend a 1-month Pre-Academic Summer Programme starting at the end of June/beginning of July 2007. The exact date and location of Pre-Academic Summer Programme will be available at a later stage of the selection process.
