The candidate is expected to work full time (8h a day) during the four years to obtain his/her PhD. Depending on the diplomas owned by the candidate, he/she will have to follow a few courses equivalent to 60 ECTS from a Research Master in Electronic Engineering (in this case the students will obtain the title of Master in Electronics Engineering) before starting his/her research activities, which should lead to his/her thesis dissertation at the end of the fourth year. During the last two years, the candidate will be additionally funded to develop part of his research work at another European research institution for a duration of at least three months, so he/she can obtain a European PhD. certificate.
Scholarship goal
To obtain a European-compliant PhD. Degree (and eventually a Master in Electronic Engineering)
Duration:
4 years (2 year grant + two year job contract)
Funding organization:
Rovira i Virgili University, Electronics Department
Location:
Tarragona (located by the sea at the NE of Spain, 100 km SW of Barcelona)
Retribution:
907 € per month the first 2 years (grant)
1100 € per month the last 2 years (contract)
Profile of the candidate
The optimal profile for the position would be a recent graduate in electronic engineering or chemistry or physics (chemistry, chemical engineering, analytical chemistry, biochemical engineering, electronic engineering, physics, etc.) willing to obtain his/her European Ph.D. degree in four years. The candidate should be able to economically sustain him/herself with the grant with no additional funding (something easy to do in Spain with such a grant). Applicants are expected to work in the following area: Development of Microsystems for chemical analysis (pre-concentrator systems, micro and nano gas sensors). Good level of English is required and good Spanish level would be appreciated too.
Information required
Applicants are required to send to the address specified below a full Curriculum Vitae (as complete as possible), Copy of their diploma (with the The Hague apostille), copy of their passport, Academic certificate including their marks (it is important that the number of hours of each subject or the ECTS of each subject appears clearly in this document).

Students from Asian developing nations are offered the opportunity to pursue their master's or doctoral studies in fields relating to ustainable poverty reduction at one of Asia 's leading postgraduate institutions.
The scholarships
The Netherlands Ministry for Development Cooperation and the Asian Institute of Technology have partnered to offer a program called "Human Resource Development for Asian Partner Countries" from October 2006 to December 2009. Master's and doctoral scholarships will be provided to students from seven partner countries of the Netherlands in Asia, i.e., Afghanistan , Bangladesh , Indonesia , Mongolia , Pakistan , Sri Lanka and Vietnam .
The scholarships cover the costs of degree programs in fields relevant to sustainable development, environmental protection and the promotion of gender equity. The three focal areas are water engineering and management, rural development and sustainable use of natural resources, and urban environmental management.
Water engineering and management includes waterways and coastal engineering, irrigation engineering, water resources and water supply drainage. Expertise areas also include water transport, flood control, beach protection, erosion, water supply and wastewater collection and sewerage treatment systems, and integrated watershed development management.
Rural development and sustainable use of natural resources addresses rural development and the need to consider economic productivity versus the necessity to conserve rural areas. In AIT many programs aim to contribute to technology to stimulate rural developments including agricultural and food engineering, bioprocess technology, aquaculture and aquatic resources management, pulp and paper technology, natural resources management, as well as regional and rural development planning.
Urban environmental management addresses the sustainable development of
urbanized areas as many of the partner countries are facing rapid urbanization. Thus, the concerns should address urban economy and living environment, conservation of urban natural environments and greening, prevention of environmental deterioration, impacts of urbanization, urban transportation, urban affordable sanitation and sewage treatment. Urban environmental management focuses on the utilization of human and other resources to improve and maintain the quality of urban areas.
