Opportunity for African Environmental Leaders to Examine Land-Use History, Science, and Policy 2009 Watson International Scholars of the Environment 1 September - 18 December 2009 The Watson International Scholars of the Environment program brings mid-career environmental leaders from universities, governments, and nongovernmental organizations throughout Africa to Brown University for advanced training in land-change history, sciences, and policies, providing them with the context to enhance the sustainable development capacity in their countries. The opportunity offers an intensive program in sustainable land-use studies to provide mastery of critical concepts, relevant tools, and transferable processes necessary for managing land and ecosystems. Supported by a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation and endorsed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the program offers scholars time away from their daily responsibilities to learn new skills with a community of scholars app

ZLOG National Center of Excellence Scholarship in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Zaragoza Logistics Center 2009 The Spanish Ministry of Education and Sciences named Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC) as the National Center of Excellence for research in the area of logistics and supply chain management in the year 2006. This recognition puts ZLC in the leading role to define and coordinate the research, development and innovation initiatives across Spain. In accordance with its objectives, the Foundation through this scholarship aims to grant an opportunity to take part in the ZLOG Program to one highly-qualified Spanish candidate whose only barrier against success is of a financial nature. Coverage The scholarship provides full tuition for the MIT-Zaragoza Master of Engineering in Logistics & Supply Chain Management (ZLOG) program, which amounts to €21,500 to a Spanish student of the academic year 2009-2010. The scholarship will not include other costs such as living or trav

Bioinformatics of next generation sequencing approaches: using 454 and Solexa data to look at insect genomes and transcriptomes, the University of Exeter, UK Three-year studentship: tuition fees (UK/EU rate) and annual stipend at current research council rate This PhD will provide training in state of the art bioinformatics both at the genomic and transcriptomic level. It takes advantage of a) the large amount of non-model insect 454 sequence data generated by our laboratory, b) our participation in the Heliconius genome project (3 species being sequenced at Baylor College of Medicine), c) our ongoing collaboration with the Sanger Center with BAC mapping and DNA sequencing and, most importantly, d) our initiation of collaborations with ecology and evolution groups in Cornwall. The project aims to fill the ‘gap’ generated by the purchase of the Illumina sequencer at Streatham and the analysis of the ‘pump priming’ projects from non-molecular biologists at both Tremough and Streatham Cam

12 PhD Fellowships at Jena School for Microbial Communication The Jena School for Microbial Communication (JSMC) is funded by the German Excellence Initiative.
