PhD fellowship in Netherland for International Students

The maximum NFP budget available for a PhD study programme is €85,000. This amount is intended as a contribution towards the costs of living and to cover visa, travel and insurance costs, as specified in the NFP Rules & Regulations. PhD students are allowed to seek alternative funding sources.

The maximum duration of a PhD fellowship is four years.  The PhD must be pursued according to a ‘sandwich’ or ‘picnic’ model, which means that at least a quarter of the PhD research will take place in the candidate’s home country.

Eligibility:

A candidate applying for an NFP fellowship for a PhD degree programme must:

•  be a mid-career professional with at least three years’ relevant work experience;
•  be a national of, and working and living in one of the developing countries on the NFP country list valid at the time of application;
•   be nominated by his or her employer, who pledges to continue paying the candidate’s salary and guarantees the candidate will be able to return to an equivalent position after the termination of the fellowship period;
•    be unconditionally admitted to a Dutch institution as a PhD student. This means that the candidate must have met all the
academic requirements set by the Dutch university or institution;
•    not already have received an NFP PhD fellowship;
•    not be employed by:   a multinational corporation (for instance Shell, Unilever etc.); a large national and/-or commercial organisation; a bilateral donor organisation (for instance USAID, DFID, Danida, Sida, FinAid, AusAid, ADC, SwissAid etc.);  a multilateral donor organisation, (for instance a UN organisation, the World Bank, the IMF, Asian Development Bank, African Development Bank, IADB, etc.); or -  an international NGO (for instance Oxfam, Plan, Care, etc.)
•   have completed and submitted an NFP PhD fellowship application with all the required documentation before the NFP
fellowship application deadline;
•  be employed in an area to which the study will make a relevant contribution;
•   have a clear-cut, functional relationship with a relevant organisation and be in a position to introduce the newly acquired skills and knowledge into that organisation;
•     be available full-time to pursue the PhD without interruption, and be physically and mentally able to take part in the entire programme;
•  endorse the objective and the aim of the NFP. The aim of the NFP cannot be reached if the fellowship holder does not return to his or her own country. Nuffic would like to urge fellowship holders to return to their home country upon finishing the course or programme to meet the NFP aim in the most effective way.

Application instructions:

Candidates first apply for admission directly to the Dutch institution of their choice. Admission requests must always be directed to the Dutch institution. Senior academic staff or a specific PhD committee decides if an candidate will be accepted. Usually, the admission decision is based on the research proposal submitted by the candidate.

The Dutch institution assesses the application and decides whether or not to admit the candidate as a PhD student. Candidates will receive a letter informing them if they have been admitted. Nuffic has no part in the academic admission process. A candidate applying for an NFP fellowship must have been unconditionally admitted to a Dutch institution for the course or programme for which the candidate applies for an NFP fellowship. This means that the candidate must have met all the academic and administrative requirements set by the Dutch institution.

Candidates are strongly advised to apply as early as possible for admission to the Dutch institution because these institutions need enough time to process all the applications for admission in time.  The academic admission process for a PhD study is an individual track. Candidates who wish to be admitted as a PhD student have to check with the Dutch institution if an academic admission deadline applies.

If you have obtained academic admission and prepared all the necessary documentation you can submit your NFP fellowship application using Scholarships Online (SOL), Nuffic’s online application tool which will be found at the official website starting 1 November 2011.  The fellowship applications for PhD research projects is 5 February or 1 October 2013 depending on the Dutch  institution.

Netherlands Fellowship Programmes

The Netherlands Fellowship Programmes (NFP) promote capacity building within organisations in 62 countries by providing training and education through fellowships for professionals. The NFP is initiated and fully funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the budget for development cooperation.

The aim of the NFP

The overall aim of the NFP is to help increase both the number and the competencies of skilled staff at a wide range of governmental and non-governmental organisations. You have to be nominated by your employer to be eligible for the fellowship. There also has to be a clear need for training within the context of your organisation.

After completing your training you return to your original workplace. This ensures the training is embedded within your organisation.

You will improve your knowledge and skills, learn about relevant global developments in your field and build an international network. The result is twofold: for your employing organisation, it represents a direct investment in staff development; for you as a professional, the training is a valuable asset in your further career.

The target group

The NFP target group consists of professionals who are nationals of and work and live in an NFP country. The chances of obtaining an NFP fellowship increase if you live and work in Sub-Saharan Africa and/or if you are a woman.

The fellowship

An NFP fellowship is intended to supplement the salary that you should continue to receive during the study period. The allowance is a contribution towards your costs of living, the costs of tuition fees, visas, travel, insurance and thesis research, as specified in the NFP Rules and Regulations for fellowship holders.

Highly competitive selection

Nuffic receives thousands of fellowship applications each year. Only a small percentage of these applications are eventually granted a fellowship.

The fellowships are awarded in a very competitive selection to highly motivated professionals with at least three years’ work experience who are in a position to introduce the newly-acquired skills and knowledge into their employing organisation.

DTU Denmark, Postgraduate Scholarship in Water and Wastewater Engineering

For almost two centuries DTU, Technical University of Denmark, has been dedicated to fulfilling the vision of H.C. Ørsted – the father of electromagnetism – who founded the university in 1829 to develop and create value using the natural sciences and the technical sciences to benefit society.  Today, DTU is ranked as one of the foremost technical universities in Europe, continues to set new records in the number of publications, and persistently increase and develop our partnerships with industry, and assignments accomplished by DTU’s public sector consultancy.

The department of Environmental Engineering (DTU Environment) is a DTU-institution at the highest international level. We are working to develop new environmentally friendly and sustainable technologies and disseminate this knowledge to society and new generations of engineers. There are about 180 employees at DTU Environment, of which more than 60 are doctoral students. We have employees with 25 different nationalities. The academic breadth and the multidisciplinary approach to solving complex environmental problems are reflected in the scientific staffing profile. DTU Environment employs engineers, chemists, biologists, geologists and physicists who work with a broad group of Danish and international partners, for example Public authorities, consultants, manufacturers, and the world's leading universities and research groups within our area.

The Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a position as PhD student on the topic:

”Innovative bacteria-algal system for wastewater resource recovery”.

The fellowship is funded as part of the strategic research collaboration the E4WATER (EU-FP7) project.

Job description
Green micro-algae have been identified as a potential solution to the challenge of depletion of fossil –based fuel and global warming, mostly, as a result of the high growth rate and high CO2-fixation capacity. Furthering the objective of decoupling food production from crops-based biofuel using algae biomass is of high scientific interest, presently. The main objectives of micro-algae cultivation using wastewater resources can be defined as (i) direct use for energy production via anaerobic digestion/biogas production; (ii) high-value chemical production (oils-biodiesel); (iii) the use of green micro-algae suspension as natural fertiliser in agricultural production (the indirect use for biofuel production). A cost-effective, bacteria-based wastewater treatment process that can provide balanced nutrient and optimum pH conditions for the cultivation of mixed green micro-algae population cultivation does not yet exist.

The research will focus on (i) laboratory-scale (batch and sequenced batch photo-bioreactors) experimental assessment of biochemical, physical and physicochemical processes in combination with an upstream bacteria-based system (ongoing PhD project), (ii) microbial analysis, (iii) assessment of different reuse options for harvested algal biomass, (iv) process modelling and global sensitivity analysis. Additionally, the fellow will also have the opportunity to be involved in a parallel project, focusing on the up-scaling of the technology developed. The project is embedded in the micro-algae research initiative of DTU Environment, currently employing 2 post-doctors and 3 PhD students.

Qualifications
At the date of appointment, candidates must have obtained a Master's (M.Sc.) degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the Master's degree in engineering. A high motivation for research and solid written and oral communication skills in English are prerequisites of any successful application.

The successful candidate has training and interest in the following areas: environmental biotechnology and process modelling. The candidate will have an M.Sc degree in Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering or related discipline, evidence of research experience, and significant exposure to one or more of the following areas: laboratory experimental work, biokinetic process analysis, mathematical modeling, water chemistry and wastewater treatment processes.

PhD fellowship in Large Animal Sciences - University of Copenhagen, Denmark

An investigation into the pharmacological stability, the clinical efficacy, and the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory potency of local anesthetics used in equine orthopedic work-upThe Department of Large Animal Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Univeristy of Copenhagen is offering a PhD fellowship commencing on September 1st, 2013 or soon thereafter. The application deadline is June 16th, 2013. Title: An investigation into the pharmacological stability, the clinical efficacy, and the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory potency of local anesthetics used in equine orthopedic work-up. Project description: Lameness work-up constitutes a significant amount of clinical activities of equine veterinarians. Local analgesia as a diagnostic aid is widely used. Practice observations reveal that local anesthetics used in equine practice are not stored in conditions as recommended by the manufacturers. In fact, many clinicians will rely on products that may have been open for an undefined period of time and which have been exposed to sunlight, heat or cold. Yet the stability of local anesthetics under these conditions has not been investigated. Latrogenic septic arthritis is a well-known severe complication of intrasynovial analgesia with catastrophic outcome. Therefore, correct preparation of the injection site is mandatory to decrease infection risk. Many practitioners will add antimicrobial drugs when performing intrasynovial analgesia with the hope to reduce the risk of inducing iatrogenic septic arthritis. In the light of increasing antimicrobial resistance, the development of strategies for prudent use of antimicrobials is mandatory. The antiomicrobial potency of local anesthetics has been suggested but not investigated in common equine pathogens. The aims of the project are to investigate the storage stability and the efficacy of local anesthetics used for lameness diagnosis in equids. Further the inflammatory / anti-inflammatory response and the anti-microbial potency of the drugs will be investigated. A more exhaustive description of the project can be sent on request.

Since its creation, Fondazione Edmund Mach has supported the flagship project aiming to create a community of PhD students in San Michele. In 2008 the Board of Directors has approved a document defining the guidelines for granting scholarships in order to obtain a Doctoral title. Later that year the first scholarships has been awarded and since 2010 has been created two major programmes (GMPF and IPP) and various other positions have been generated by external funded projects (namely EULAKES, EDEN NEXT, ACE SAP, EUROWESTNILE, etc.). Meanwhile the Research and Innovation Centre is hosting students from national and international institutions that are developing, in collaboration with our scientists, their PhD thesis.

Nowadays many of the research groups and technology platforms count within their staff PhD students.
