Postgraduate PhD scholarship in Climate Change Effects to Plant Ecosystems

Applications are invited from talented young candidates for a PhD scholarship in effects to plant ecosystems from climate change.

The PhD will be enrolled at Ecosystems programme, Biosystems Division at Risø DTU. The Ecosystems programme work on effects of climate change to ecosystems, ecosystems feedback, adaptation and mitigation as well as ecosystem modeling in relation to climate change. The project will be carried out within the highly interdisciplinary and international research environment in the division. The project will employ some of the advanced experimental facilities the division has for conducting studies of climate change effects on ecosystems and biological processes, including advanced phytotron, controlled environments, field scale experiments and laboratories. The scholarship is carried out in close collaboration with the Nordic NordForsk initiative within the project ‘Sustainable primary production in a changing climate.

The project
The PhD project is related to effects of climate change on plant production, quality and sustainability. Climate change will change plant ecosystems and affect conditions for plant growth, and in that way affect not only yield and composition of crop biomass, but also change the ecosystem demands for nutrients, pesticides and water. The project will explore how future climate change scenarios will affect plant production and fungal disease severity in selected model crops; the results will be used by collaborators for modeling the sustainability of the future crop production. Part of the PhD will be devoted to study plant adaptation and acclimation to fast abiotic and biotic stress by the use of molecular tools for gene expression profiling and physiological measurements.

The PhD project will focus on understanding of key processes in plants under abiotic and biotic stress in multifactor stress scenarios e.g. with elevated CO₂, ozone, temperature, limited water and foliar diseases. Plant population responses and feedback to climate change through genetic composition or gene expression will be explored in experiments with spontaneous and deliberate plant selection over a number of generations. The experiment will be carried out in Risø DTU’s advanced experimental facilities and include extreme events as part of the climate manipulation.

Qualifications
Candidates should have (or obtain) a master’s degree in molecular plant biology, plant physiology or plant breeding, or similar competences. A candidate with experience in molecular methods and plant population genetic analysis will be preferred.

Approval and Enrollment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrollment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide.

Salary and appointment terms
The salary and appointments terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The scholarship is for 3 years. Main supervisor is Senior Researcher Rikke Bagger Jørgensen (Risø DTU) and co-supervisors are Professor Pirjo Peltonen-Sainio (MTT, Finland), Senior Researcher Teis Mikkelsen (Risø DTU) and Associate Professor Michael Lyngkjær (KU Life).

Further information
Further information may be obtained from Senior Researcher Rikke Bagger Jørgensen, + 45 21331109, rijq@risoe.dtu.dk, or Senior Researcher Teis Mikkelsen, + 45 46774162, temi@risoe.dtu.dk.

Master of Governance and Development: VLIR-UOS Scholarships, Belgium

“Is better governance critical for the future of inclusive and sustainable development?”

“What do conflict, governance and development have in common?”


“Which potential solutions for good governance present themselves on the local and the global level?”

This programme explores insights, tools and best practices for good governance in order that graduates could apply them in their future professional contexts. Graduates shall understand and be able to analyse, from the local to the global level, the governance problems which confront developing countries today.

The governance programme offers two tracks with specific objectives and courses:

Track 1: Governance and Conflict.

Track 2: Local Governance and Poverty Reduction Contact: Greet Annaert Institute of Development Policy and Management

The future of sustainable development is critically related to the promotion of better governance at the local, national, regional and international level. At once a cause and a consequence of governance failures, violent conflict is incompatible with sustainable development. Central in this nexus between development, governance and conflict are processes of state formation, state failure and state reconstruction. Adopting a political economy perspective, the study programme analyses governance problems and possible responses with due account of specific historical pathways of countries and the interaction between the national state level, local society level dynamics and the impact of global developments.

Most of our students are engaged in development, professionally and/or as researchers. The objective of the Master’s programme is to provide them with multidisciplinary theoretical insights and practical tools that will improve their capacity to analyse governance challenges at different levels and how they relate to processes of violent conflict and development. Graduates will understand and be able to analyse, from the local to the global level, the governance problems confronting developing countries today. Theoretical insights, policy strategies and best practices as well as failures are explored in order that graduates could apply this knowledge in their future professional environments.

The Master’s programme in Governance and Development offers two tracks with specific objectives, courses and target audiences. The first track explores governance and development issues against the background of violent conflict and the challenge of post-conflict state reconstruction. The second addresses governance and development challenges from the particular perspective of local institutions and poverty reduction.

Admission requirements

The following candidates are eligible to apply for the Master’s programmes:

• Applicants from the South must hold a university degree (Bachelor or Master) of at least four years of study in Social Sciences (Economics, Political Science, Sociology, International Relations, or related disciplines). Applicants from the South who hold a Bachelor’s degree of only three years of study must demonstrate very strong and relevant professional experience and/or have successfully completed additional training. Applicants from the North must hold a Master’s degree in Social Sciences Only applicants with excellent academic records will be accepted.

• Our ideal participant has at least two years of professional experience in a sector relevant to the programme. Applicants from the North should have relevant field experience in the South.

• Applicants must be proficient in English. Those who have received a university education in English must provide an official certificate confirming this. Other applicants must submit one of the following test results:

o TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): minimum score of 550 for paper-based test or 79 for Internet-based test. Information about this test is available at www.toefl.org.

o IELTS (International English Language Testing System): minimum score of 6.0. Information about this test is available at www.ielts.org.

Forest Home's Scholarship Guidelines

Austin, left, and Tyler Burdick, homeschooled and headed to the University of Virginia.

Sitting in the boys’ living room with their mother and hearing about the scholarships and honors Austin and Tyler Burdick will be taking with them to the University of Virginia in the fall, a less intrepid reporter might wonder just where these Flint Hill kids went to high school.

The answer to such a dumb question, of course, would be: right here.

“This room probably more than others,” says Tyler, who, though identical to his 18-year-old brother, is wearing a slightly different jersey bearing the insignia of the University — where both boys also have earned scholarships to play polo. “But really the whole house has been our classroom — and the whole farm.”

Yes, intrepid one, the Burdicks were in fact home-schooled since the beginning of their school days by parents Todd and Jane Burdick on the Crest Hill Road farm where the family raises sheep and horses, and where Todd Burdick bases his equine veterinary practice.

Theirs is a success story — between them, the two won nearly a dozen scholarships — not always told by those who choose the harder road that homeschooling presents.

“I’m sure there were certain aspects of things we may have missed [not attending a school],” Tyler says, smiling as he politely answers another intrepid question. “But I feel I’ve learned a lot more here than I could have otherwise.”

Austin puts his finger on it. “We were able to accomplish much more here because we had the freedom to study what we wanted — and that does take discipline.”

Mother Jane is smiling and nodding.

The Burdicks graduate summa cum laude this month from a novel Catholic-Igniatian-Classical/Great Books program administered by Kolbe Academy in Napa, Calif. — but carried out by their parents, with help from local artists and additional coursework at Lord Fairfax Community College’s Middletown campus.

Virginia was the boys’ first choice, but they were also accepted at Cornell and Texas A&M. Austin will probably major in chemistry, Tyler in biology, but they both have interests in a business curriculum. Both are minoring in art.
Among other awards, the two each won $1,000 National Society of High School Scholars National Scholar Awards, selected from among 12,000 applicants for excellence in academics, leadership and community service. Claes Nobel, senior member of the family that established the Nobel prizes and founder of. the Scholar Awards, said: “I am deeply honored to recognize Austin and Tyler as two of our most outstanding students.”

Tyler’s awards include a $1,000 Most Valuable Student contest award from the Virginia Elks Association; a $1,000 Mary NcNeil Willis Scholarship from the Culpeper Regional Hospital Auxiliary; $2,000 as a national regional finalist in the Young Epidemiology Scholars Competition, sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the College Board.

Austin garnered a $1,000 Best Buy @15 Scholarship for academic achievement and community service; a Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District scholarship; a Windmore Foundation for the Arts $1,000 Dorothy Skelton Art Scholarship to continue his education in the visual arts; a $1,000 Lee-Jackson Scholarship from the Lee-Jackson Educational Foundation for his essay, “Reverence and Resolve: The Forces Guiding Thomas Jackson,” and the Jeff MacNelly Art Award commemorating the former Rappahannock resident and three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist, from the Headwaters Foundation.

Ask the boys if they’d consider pursuing the same path in the future for their own kids, and Tyler says, intrepidly:
“Our parents have been super-supportive of us, but it’s been a huge commitment for them. I’m . . . not sure I could do what they’ve done.”

Jane Burdick says the boys’ dad directed the boys’ schooling through seventh-grade, while she worked full time at Fauquier Hospital; after that, she took over.

“We are so grateful to these organizations for the opportunities they’re giving the boys to fund their education,” she says. “And for families that may be contemplating homeschooling, especially high school homeschooling, this shows that — it can be done! Your kids can be selected to attend their school of choice, they can qualify for scholarships — athletic as well as academic. You can do it!”
