Neurolinguistics: PhD Student, McGill University, Canada
Institution/Organization: McGill University
Department: School of Communication Sciences & Disorders
Level: PhD
Duties: Research
Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; Neurolinguistics; Pragmatics
Emotional communication
Description:
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship available in the Neuropragmatics and Emotion Lab (www.mcgill.ca/pell_lab) at McGill University beginning September, 2007.
The appropriate student will share general research interests with members of the lab which touch on the communication of emotion or attitudes in the human voice and/or through spoken language. The recipient will be expected to apply and register for a PhD in the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders at McGill University (Montréal, Canada) and will be supervised by Dr. Marc Pell.
Applicants must possess a first-class honours degree (minimum Bachelor-level equivalent) in Linguistics, Psychology, Communication Disorders, or a related discipline, preferrably with courses in psycho/neuro-linguistics. The specific research focus should be developed by the student but will probably centre on defining acoustic, perceptual, and/or neuro-cognitive components for understanding or expressing emotive qualities in speech during natural communication; disorders of emotive communication following acquired brain damage; or the influences of emotion and affect on normal and/or disordered language processing.
Funding is for a maximum of three years and will consist of an annual stipend of CAD $20,000 plus support for presenting work at research meetings.
As a first step, please register your interest to compete for the studentship by sending your CV and a detailed cover letter describing your research interests and academic goals to:
Dr. Marc Pell
McGill University, SCSD
1266, ave. des Pins Ouest

Asian Development Bank - Japan Scholarship Program
Asian Development Bank (ADB) - Japan Scholarship Program (JSP) was established in April 1988 with financing from the Government of Japan.
It aims to provide an opportunity for well-qualified citizens of ADB's developing member countries to pursue postgraduate studies in economics, management, science and technology, and other development-related fields at participating academic institutions in the Asian and Pacific Region.
Upon completion of their study programs, scholars are expected to contribute to the economic and social development of their home countries.
The ADB-JSP enrolls about 300 students annually in 20 academic institutions located in 10 countries within the Region.
The ADB-JSP provides full scholarships for one to two years.

The Robert S. McNamara Fellowships Program was established in 1982 by a resolution of the Executive Directors to "award fellowships for full-time study or research at the postgraduate level in fields related to economic development, to be carried out at a recognized institution in a Bank member country other than the applicant's home country". In December 1993, through a resolution by the Executive Directors whereby the Program was restructured, fellows were allowed to conduct their research in their home country. The award amount was fixed at US$7,500 to cover research costs through the twelve months fellowship period.
Funding for the Program was provided by US$1 million contribution from the World Bank and US$1.8 million from the governments of Bangladesh, China, India, Kuwait, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, and Yugoslavia. The interest from the endowment funds, almost US$200,000 a year, was used to sponsor about 16 scholars a year (US$142,000) and a workshop for the fellows in Washington, D.C. (US$50,000).
Since the inception of the Program in 1982, 230 fellowships have been granted to fellows from a pool of about 9,000 applicants representing all regions of the World Bank. The fellows have conducted research on a wide variety of topics in development related fields. The Program has achieved wide recognition, especially in developing countries, and has also become well known inside the World Bank, especially with recent efforts to link its research topics to the World Development Report (WDR).
The Program has supported a broad mix of fellows, ranging from promising young men and women on the threshold of their careers to some of the most distinguished thinkers in the field of development. The Program's alumni include a number of eminent academics, policymakers, and leaders of civil society. The Program's Tracer Studies reveal a strong application of McNamara research in subsequent research initiative of the alumni.
Nearly 170 research institutions from over 70 different countries have collaborated with the Fellowships Program. The Program has disseminated the research information through publications
While the Program provides support and encouragement to promising fellows, it has not been able to attract applicants with the highest potential who seem to be more interested in research associated with earning a degree.
Restructuring the Program into a Degree Program
A pragmatic approach to contribute to human resource development in developing countries, and contain administrative costs, would be to restructure the Robert S. McNamara Fellowships Program into a degree program. Because a full degree program is valued much more highly in developing countries, it will attract highly qualified candidates. This would require establishing a partnership program with one or more universities to offer a masters degree in public policy or development economics. A host institution would be required to jointly sponsor up to fifteen Robert S. McNamara fellows a year, funded by approximately US$200,000 from the Robert S. McNamara Fellowships Program and a matching grant from the selected institution.
The Program has been restructurated into a master's degree in public policy at Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University.
