PhD in Land and Water System Innovations at Delft University of Technology
PhD in Land and Water System Innovations at Delft University of Technology
Recently, an interdisciplinary research project was approved by the UNESCO-IHE Partnership Research Fund (UPaRF). This project will form part of the broader successor programme of SSI, in which the following institutes collaborate: UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education (Delft, The Netherlands), University of Dar Es Salaam, University of KwaZulu Natal, Delft University of Technology, the International Water Management Institute, Sokoine University of Agriculture and the Stockholm Resilience Centre.
Within the current project a PhD positions is available, linked to the themes described below. If successful, the PhD degree will be awarded by Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. PhD position available at UNESCO-IHE (SSI-2 Project)Upscaling small-scale land and water system innovations in dryland agro-ecosystems for sustainability and livelihood improvements (SSI-2) http://www.unesco-ihe.org/Research/PhD-Research/Available-PhD-Positions/PhD-position-available-at-UNESCO-IHE-SSI-2-Project)
Project description
The project focuses on the semi-arid areas of sub-Saharan Africa, where 95% of the total agricultural land is used for rainfed agriculture, water availability is scarce and highly variable, and average yields often remain below 1 ton per ha. The resilience of the farming systems is low as well, due the large (and increasing) variability of the hydro-climatic conditions and a limited capacity to adapt. As a result,crop failure is the norm. Water availability is a key entry point to improve crop productivity in these regions (Falkenmark and Rockstrom, 2004). The research and outreach programme of Smallholder systems innovations in integrated watershed management (SSI-1, 2004-2008) thus focused on the identification and application of innovative agricultural water management practices that offer opportunities to increase both food security and safeguard environmental integrity. The impact of these innovations on food production and ecosystems has been studied at field and watershed scale at sites in the Thukela river basin in South Africa and the Pangani river basin in Tanzania. There is a growing awareness that a real transformation of the countryside will only be possible if innovative soil and water technologies and land and water management practices are adopted, and locally adapted, at a large scale and in combination with increased fertilizer use (see e.g. Rijsberman, 2004; Polak, 2005; Rockstrom et al., 2007). Only then will rural areas be able to transform from their current position of marginalization and poverty to a motor of socio-economic development (Prahalad, 2004). Since the conditions under which such a transformation may occur, as well as the potential impacts at different scales, are still ill-understood, a new project will focus on the socio-economic and bio-physical conditions and impacts of upscaling these innovations. This new project (SSI-2, 2008-2012) will take note of some new drivers that influence the opportunities for agricultural innovation and rural socio-economic transformation: increasing food prices, increased access to information in the rural countryside, climate change impacts, and the limited access of farmers to energy sources in the face of an increasing global demand for biofuels (e.g., de Wit and Stankiewics,2006; Uhlenbrook, 2007). The two PhD research projects form part of the broader SSI-2 programme.
PhD Project 1: Water processes at different spatial scales
This research theme addresses the hydrological implications for up-scaling land and water system innovations. The objective is to gain better understanding of the interactions between processes linking local and larger scales. The analysis focuses on how the dominant hydrological processes may change at different spatial scales. The research builds on the understanding of the hydrological processes gained during SSI-1, with a stronger emphasis on groundwater- surface water interactions and potential implications of/for land management changes. It is hypothesised that surface-groundwater interactions are critical to the impacts of water system innovations, and that it impacts vary with scale and different physiographic characteristics. This hypothesis will be verified in the field and the results used for predictive modelling to determine impacts of up-scaled use of WSIs on water quantity and quality for downstream users under different scenarios. The surface-groundwater interactions (including wetlands) are also crucial for the hydrological variability and water resources availability at different scales and, consequently, for the provision of ecosystem services.
Research question:
What are the hydrological impacts of small scale farming activities, incl. water system innovations, across different scales? Particular attention will be paid to different types of rainwater harvesting, supplementary irrigation and full scale irrigation.
Methodology:
Understanding the hydrological impacts of small scale farming activities across different scales, requires the understanding of the hydrological processes at these scales. This research will take up the small scale hydrological understanding (project 3.1) and investigate the large scale (500-5,000-45, 000 km2) hydrological processes through the use of remote sensing data combined with field observations (incl. hydro-chemical and tracers studies). Of particular interest is the groundwater surface water interaction (incl. generation of wetlands) and the impact of this on the downstream water availability (PBWO, 2006). A process-based distributed hydrological model will be developed to investigate different scenarios of uptake and extent of the small scale farming activities.
This study will be supervised by Prof. Dr. Stefan Uhlenbrook, Dr. Jan Willem Foppen, Dr Shreedhar Maskey (UNESCO-IHE) , Dr. T.A. Kimaro (UDSM).
The following applies to the position:
- All topics will be carried out in a so-called sandwich construction with different phases at UNESCO-IHE in the Netherlands and field research in Tanzania (with regular contacts with Tanzanian and Dutch supervisors).
- PhD positions are funded with a fellowship for which NUFFIC regulations apply.
- Starting date: April 1, 2009 for 4 years.
- Qualifications: M.Sc. degree (average mark: 80% or above) in a discipline relevant to the topic, e.g. environmental engineering, socio-economics of the water sector, hydrology and water resources.
- The applicants must demonstrate a strong interest and experience in conducting interdisciplinary research.
- The applicant should be willing to co-operated with other researchers in the SSI-2 programme.
- The applicants should be willing to co-supervise MSc research projects.
- The applicants must be fluent in English.
- Preferred country of citizenship of the applicants is Tanzania.
- Age: 40 years and below.
- Work experience in relevant fields of studies is desirable.
The project it is jointly led by Dr. T.A. Kimaro (kimaro@wrep.udsm.ac.tz) and Ms. M.L. Mul (m.mul@unesco-ihe.org) of UNESCO-IHE.
Applications, including curriculum vitae, the names and contact details of three contactable referees, and a motivation letter, should be sent by email to both Dr. T.A. Kimaro and Ms. M.L. Mul before 31 January 2009.

Edward Boyle Memorial Trust Medical Elective Bursaries 2009/2010
The Edward Boyle Memorial Trust is offering Medical Elective Bursaries for senior medical students from United Kingdom medical faculties/schools, to assist them to spend their elective period in a developing country within the Commonwealth.
# Value and tenure: Edward Boyle Bursaries have a maximum value of £500; they are offered with tenure at any time between 1 May 2009 and 31 May 2010. Their purpose is to enable medical students in Britain to gain, during their elective period, practical experience in developing Commonwealth countries (particularly those that are Least Developed or Specially Disadvantaged) and, by doing so, to help understaffed hospitals in those countries. The Bursaries are intended to cover part of the student’s travel, subsistence and local costs, and payment will be made directly to the students selected.
# History: Edward Boyle Medical Elective Bursaries are funded from an endowment left to the Association of Commonwealth Universities from the Edward Boyle Memorial Trust, founded in memory of Sir Edward Charles Gurney Boyle (1923-1981), so that United Kingdom medical scholars would benefit from elective periods in developing commonwealth countries.
# Method of Application: Applications must be submitted in the first instance to the Medical Dean of your medical school and NOT to the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU). After considering applications, each Medical Dean may recommend not more than one candidate to the ACU office. Please contact your Medical Dean / Elective Co-ordinator for an application form and not ACU.
# Closing Date: Please see the Medical Dean who will set the University internal deadline. Official closing date for receipt of applications from the Medical Dean to the ACU is 31 January 2009. The decisions of the ACU’s selection committee will be announced in April 2009. Please click here for more information on Lord Boyle and the The Edward Boyle Memorial Trust.

Felix Scholarships for Indian Students 2009 in UK
FELIX SCHOLARSHIPS 2009
UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD / UNIVERSITY OF READING /
SCHOOL OF ORIENTAL AND AFRICAN STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON
Notes for Applicants
1. Up to six Felix Scholarships will be offered at each of the three institutions above for Indian graduates taking up places in September/October 2009 for:
(i) Taught postgraduate Master’s courses (MSc, MAgrSc, MA, LLM, etc.) = 1 or 2 academic years; or
(ii) Master’s degrees by research (MPhil) = 2 academic years; or
(iii) Doctoral degrees by research (PhD/DPhil) = 3 academic years,
Please note that not all the above programmes are available at each institution.
Felix Scholarships are intended for students who would be unable, without financial assistance, to take up their place. You should ensure that you apply for the correct course, as applications for an extension of a course or other additional funding will not be considered. Candidates must not, once installed at the relevant university, apply for any scholarship that would interfere with the tenure of the Felix Scholarship.
2. Application for a Felix Scholarship can be made through only one of the three academic institutions. Applicants must already have submitted a formal application for admission through one of the institutions before applying for a Felix Scholarship.
3. Commencing the academic year 2007/08 the Felix Scholarship will permit Felix Master’s alumni who have obtained a Distinction to apply for a PhD/DPhil Felix scholarship. Exactly the same criteria and application process will apply to Felix Master’s alumni as apply to any other candidate applying for a PhD/DPhil scholarship. Only one such scholarship will be granted to each university per year. Candidates should take into account the fact that because the results of Master’s examinations are notified after the commencement of an academic year, there will be a one-year gap between finishing a Master’s course and commencing a PhD/DPhil course.
4. Candidates must apply direct to Oxford/Reading/SOAS for admission to the course they wish to study there. Detailed advice on such matters as course application forms, arrangements for fieldwork, etc., will be available on request from any of the three institutions (but about their own courses only). Applications for admission to courses should be submitted as early as possible.
5. The Felix Scholarships will cover full fees, living costs, together with a return air fare, and provide additional allowances for books, equipment, warm clothing etc. Spouses’ costs will not be met. Applicants must be Indian citizens under 30 years of age on 31 January 2009, the date by which both a completed scholarship application form must have reached Oxford/Reading/SOAS and the applicant must have been accepted for admission. Applicants must have at least a first class Bachelor’s degree from an Indian university or comparable institution. Exceptionally those with an upper second-class degree at the Bachelor’s level may be considered if they hold a first class degree at the Master’s level. Those who already hold degrees from universities outside India are not eligible to apply. Those who have already taken up a scholarship to pursue PhD studies at an Indian university are also not eligible for a Felix Scholarship.

12. Felix Scholarship students are expected to complete their course of study within the time frame set by the individual universities. Additional funding for an extension to enable a student to complete their course of study is generally not granted unless under exceptional circumstances.
13. It is anticipated that students who undertake extended fieldwork trips during their course of study should generally be able to accumulate enough savings from the maintenance allowances paid during fieldwork by proper financial management to personally fund any extension required in order to complete their course.
14. It is a condition of the Felix Scholarship that candidates, when accepting a scholarship, undertake to return to their country of origin on completion of their course of study so as to make a contribution to that country. Each candidate will be expected to sign a letter of undertaking to this effect.

PhD Scholarship, Computer Science, Australia
PhD scholarship
Description : One PhD scholarship is available in the area of database optimization for flash memory. Flash memory is a superior database storage medium than the hard disk drive(HDD). Flash memory can access data up to 100 times faster than HDD and currently can store more than 640GB of data. This means in the future flash memory is likely to replace HDDs for large database servers that require high performance. In addition flash memory is particularly suitable for small portable devices since it is small, shock resistant and uses little energy. This project aims to create and evaluate algorithms that take full advantage of the desirable characteristics of flash memory while overcoming its significant hardware constraints. Applicant must have strong programming capabilities. Scholarship Amount: $26, 669 per year (2009 APAI rate) for 3 years. The scholarship is funded under the ARC discovery project scheme (project number DP0985451).

2009 Berlin-Scholarships by the Foundation “Remembrance, Responsibility and Future”
Berlin-Scholarships by the Foundation “Remembrance, Responsibility and Future”
Announcement 2009/10
For the academic year 2009/2010 Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin once again announces 30 “Berlin Scholarships” with the support of the Foundation “Remembrance, Responsibility and Future”.
The Program
The international program “Berlin Scholarships” allows students to study for one year at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin or at one of its partner institutions: Freie Universität Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, Universität der Künste Berlin, and Fachhochschule für Wirtschaft Berlin. Along with their studies in Berlin the scholarship holders will work in groups together on a project with the topic “Excluded and Persecuted: Finding Responses to the Experiences in 20th Century Europe”.
Scholarship holders will have the opportunity to carry out their study proposals by attending courses at one of the five partner institutions in Berlin. International applicants’ study proposals should be developed according to their home university’s academic requirements. Students born or raised in Germany will simply continue their regular studies in Berlin.
The program begins on September 1, 2009 and ends on July 31, 2010.
Application deadline: January 31, 2009 (receipt stamp at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin).
Annual Topic
Excluded and Persecuted: Responses to the Experiences in 20th Century Europe
The 20th century was marked by periods of violence and injustice caused by the exclusion and persecution of various political, religious, and ethnical groups. While applicable to dictatorships in other European countries, this is particularly true for the period of National Socialism in Germany during which the domestic process of exclusion and persecution was universalized with the beginning of World War II in 1939.
The project is centered around the question of how we are to deal with this kind of historical injustice today. To what extent do current legislation, educational systems, national or international conventions and acts of public remembering reflect these experiences of tyranny? How relevant are the experiences of the past to anti-discriminatory organization? How do artists reflect historical injustice and what are the conclusions they draw from their work? And which questions still remain unanswered?
The goal of the project is to critically look at historical research, political debates, art and literature to see how much has been learned from the past.
Application Requirements
The program is directed at students from all fields of study, who have a special interest in the history of National Socialism. We strongly encourage descendants of victims of forced labor and other victims of the National Socialist regime to apply. Additionally, applicants should have an excellent student record, a good command of German, and should be involved in societal engagements.
All international students, particularly from Eastern European countries, the CIS states, Israel and the United States may apply. For the first time, the program will also be open to students born or raised in Germany, who are already enrolled at one of the five Berlin partner institutions.
Along with their applications, applications are asked to submit first ideas and suggestions for the project work emphasizing their interest in the annual topic. Projects will be worked on together in small groups. Based on common interests and students’ initial ideas, project groups will be defined at the beginning of the semester within the framework of the project seminar.
The Scholarship
The scholarship covers a one-year study enrollment, a monthly stipend of 700 Euros for the duration of 11 months, and an accompanying program of social and cultural activities throughout the year.
International students in addition receive a subsidy towards travel expenses. Also an intensive German language course introducing German culture and society will be held prior to the beginning of the winter semester.
Application for the academic year 2009/2010:
Foundation “Remembrance, Responsibility and Future”
The Foundation “Remembrance, Responsibility and Future” is an expression of the responsibility of the state, industry and society to continue to confront National Socialist injustice and to work for understanding between peoples. The Foundation supports international projects in the following areas: A critical examination of history, Working for democracy and human rights and Humanitarian commitment to the victims of National Socialism. The Foundation was established in 2000 to make payments to former forced labourers. The payments were completed in 2007. The Foundation’s capital of EUR 5.2 billion was provided by the German government and German industry.
