Scholarship for IT Technology at Information and Communications University, Korea
Since the IT industry has become a key asset for the competitiveness of a nation, developing human resources is of great importance for a nation. The Republic of Korea, as one of the leading countries in the IT industry, seeks to play a more active role to meet this demand of the time.
One of the efforts to meet this challenge is IT Technology Program(ITTP) newly offered at the Information and Communications University(ICU) with an aim to build global network of IT leaders around the world.
ITTP, sponsored by the Korean government, offers a customized master’s and doctoral degree program for government officials, employees of public institutions or senior-level researchers at national research centers working in the IT fields of foreign countries. All the students will receive scholarships, up to 2 years for master degree students and up to 3 years for doctoral degree students.
This program focuses on transferring advanced technologies and business strategies of Korea to the next generation global IT leaders. After the education at ICU, a distinguished IT university, the ITTP students will acquire not only all the accumulated know-hows of the IT industry of Korea but also the creative abilities to apply learned knowledges and skills to their own countries. The graduates of the program will receive updates of current developments in the IT fields of Korea through annual or biannual newsletters, and remain networked through regularly scheduled seminars.

Studentships at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
Applications are invited for a number of Ph. D. and M.Sc. studentship in the School of Engineering at Trinity College Dublin. These research positions are for up to 3 years, commencing 1 st October 2007. Funding is provided from a number of Science Foundation Ireland Research Frontiers Programmes. The research topics range from thermal management of electronics to fluid mechanics of industrial heat exchangers. Postgraduate researchers are sought to work on the following projects:
- Synthetic Air Jet Cooling
- Investigation for Flow-induced Vibration in Tube Arrays
- The Mechanisms of Heat Transfer during Nucleate Pool Boiling
Contact: Prof. Darina B. Murray ( dmurray@tcd.ie )
1 x M.Sc. position (2 years), 1 x Ph.D. position (3 years)
The use of synthetic air jets is an emerging technology for effective electronics cooling applications. To enhance the cooling performance of synthetic air jets, it is proposed that a better understanding of the temporal nature of the flow velocity and heat flux is required. The planned experimental research will measure the heat transfer at various locations along the impingement surface and correlate this with measurements of the local flow velocity and temperature. Of particular interest are the thermal gradients in the jet flow due to vortices and the influence that "energy separation" has on the local and area averaged heat transfer.
Investigation for Flow-induced Vibration in Tube Arrays
Contact: Dr. Craig Meskell ( cmeskell@tcd.ie )
2 x Ph.D. positions (3 year)
Large scale industrial heat exchangers, typical of electricity generating plants or process plants, consist of a large array of tubes subject to cross flow which are prone to a particular type of flow-induced vibration referred to as fluidelastic instability (this phenomenon is distinctly different from vortex shedding, acoustic resonance or turbulent buffeting). In fluidelastic instability (FEI), the vibration occurs at the natural frequency of the structure which is usually <10hz.>
The basic issue is that the available data for fluidelastic critical velocity cannot be well described by a single correlation, nor is there a sound theoretical explanation of the phenomenon. This fundamental research project will investigate this problem with two closely related programmes of study: one experimental and the other numerical (CFD).
The Mechanisms of Heat Transfer during Nucleate Pool BoilingContact: Dr. Anthony Robinson ( arobins@tcd.ie )
1 x M.Sc. position (2 years), 1 x Ph.D. position (3 years)
A fundamental investigation of bubble growth during nucleate pool boiling will be performed. The growth of a single isolated bubble on a heated surface will be modelled and solved using CFD. The physical model will incorporate important aspects of boiling, such as thermocapillary convection, that have previously been ignored. The efficacy and accuracy of the physical model and solution technique will be assured by validation with new bubble growth measurements with spatially and temporally resolved surface measurements in the vicinity of the bubbles. The intricate coupling between the bubble growth and the mechanisms responsible for heat removal during boiling will be elucidated for different boiling conditions including terrestrial and microgravity environments.
The studentships include a maintenance grant of between €16,000 and €18,000 per annum, plus EU College fees and an allowance for consumables and travel. Applicants should have a good honors primary degree (preferably first class honors) in Mechanical Engineering or other relevant degree.
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply by submitting:
• A Curriculum Vitae
• A Statement of your Research Interests, explaining why you want to do a Ph.D. and what you expect to gain from it (maximum two pages)
• Two Referees (at least one of whom should be an academic)

Study in Sweden - Master Programme for Key Personnel in Developing Countries
The purpose of these scholarships is to help grow special competencies in targeted countries. Eligibility is thus restricted to candidates from specific countries seeking admittance to approved programmes at Swedish universities. Because Sida has identified different developmental needs in different countries, your citizenship determines which programmes are available for scholarship support.
These scholarships are financed by Sida and administered by the Swedish Institute, a public agency promoting cultural and educational exchange between Sweden and the world.
GENERAL CRITERIA
Priority
In the scholarship selection process, your application is given priority if you can secure a leave of absence from your job which allows you to return upon completion of your studies. If not enough applicants meet this criterion, your application will be considered if you have at least five years of relevant work experience.
Citizenship, study level and study areas
Eligible countries are listed by programme. Below each approved master’s programme you’ll find a list of countries whose citizens are eligible for scholarship support under that programme.
Study period
The master’s level programmes are between one and two academic years in duration. They usually start at the end of August or early September.
Language
You need to have a good knowledge of English. All approved master’s level programmes are taught in English.
Scholarship benefits
Currently, a scholarship pays SEK 8,000 per month, plus travel costs to and from Sweden. These scholarships are designed to cover living expenses for one person only. Tuition for the eligible programmes is free.
Scholarship holders are insured by the Swedish Institute against illness and accidents in Sweden during the scholarship period.
HOW TO APPLY
Application
You can apply for this scholarship when you apply for admission to one of the approved master's programmes at a Swedish university.
There is no application form for this scholarship. Do not send any master's scholarship requests or applications to the Swedish Institute. Instead, you apply directly to the university for the master’s programme and at the same time inform them that you would like to be considered for this scholarship.
Some universities let you indicate this on their admission application forms. In other cases, you will need to attach a letter to your admission application spelling out your request for this scholarship explicitly.
Important
You also need to attach a letter from your employer confirming that you are able to take a leave of absence for the duration of your studies, and that you will be able to return to your position when you have finished studying. If you cannot provide such a letter, please provide proof of employment of at least five years in a relevant field.
Send your completed application for admission to the programme – including a request for this scholarship and the letter regarding your employment situation – to the university you would like to study at. They will process your scholarship request.
The application deadline for this scholarship is thus the same as the application deadline for the master's programme you'd like to apply to.
How is my scholarship application processed?
The university you have applied to first chooses whom to admit to their master's programme. From this group of successful applicants, it then considers those who have requested a scholarship. It makes a shortlist of recommended candidates and sends this to the Swedish Institute.
The Swedish Institute collects these recommendations from all Swedish universities, and then makes the final selection of scholarship recipients.
If you have been selected for a scholarship for a programme that begins with the fall semester, you will be informed by the Swedish Institute in May or early June.more detail at: http://www.sweden.se/templates/cs/Article____10273.aspx
