___________________________________________ SUT-PhD SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR ASEAN
BACKGROUND
The coming year of 2015 marks a very important milestone for all ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries in that we shall be integrated to become one single community. The ASEAN Community consists of three pillars: ASEAN Economic Community, ASEAN Political and Security Pillar and ASEAN Socio- Cultural Pillar. Higher education has an important role in supporting the establishment of ASEAN Community and preparing ASEAN people and countries for the regional integration. Knowledge of science, technology and innovation is one of key factors in sustaining economic growth, enhancing community's well-being and promoting integration in ASEAN. To push forward to build a strong science and technology base for ASEAN as a single integrated economy, and to ensure ASEAN to remain globally competitive, ASEAN member countries have to move up the technology ladder and focus on enhancing their capability for technological innovation in many areas.
Since its establishment, Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) has constantly proved itself to stand in the forefront of higher education institutions in the country and the Asia-Pacific region. With its careful development and fast and steady progress, it has produced numerous outstanding achievements, well recognized by the public both nationally and internationally. Highlights of those concrete achievements include its well-earned status as one among the nine National Research Universities selected by the Royal Thai Government for the year 2010 and its rank in the highest level among research and teaching universities in Thailand conducted by The Office of National Education Standards a Quality Assessment in 2009, which sends SUT to No.1 in the Public University group, and No.2 in All University category. Moreover, SUT's School of Physics was ranked No. 1 and School of Chemistry "excellence" in 2008, School of Food Technology "excellence" in 2009 and in 2007 it was ranked in the Outstanding Group among science and technology universities, both by Thailand Research Fund. The 2006 ranking by the Office of the Higher Education Commission also ranked SUT in the `Outstanding Research" and "Excellent Teaching and Learning" groups due to its remarkable potentials in research and teaching and learning.

To respond to the establishment of ASEAN Community and celebrate the auspicious occasion of His Majesty the King's 84th birthday anniversary, SUT is delighted to announce the launch of the SUT-PhD Scholarship Program for ASEAN to promote student mobility and PhD degree program development in the region. The future employment in ASEAN will require the graduates to have additional skills apart from their professional skills, such as English and other languages used in ASEAN and the inter-cultural skills. The SUT-PhD Scholarship Program for ASEAN would be one of the solid steps toward greater academic collaboration in ASEAN Community. Nine scholarships will be granted to students or faculty members of higher education institutions in ASEAN countries to further their doctoral degrees study at SUT in the fields of Sciences, Engineering, Agricultural Technology and Social Technology offered by SUT.

Opportunities exist for two or more PhD students to contribute to a set of exciting new projects focused on understanding how water, energy and carbon are interconnected in cities - for example in household or industrial water use, or in the water cycle. We are seeking PhD candidates to join a unique multi-disciplinary team at the School of Chemical Engineering at UQ. The School has a long history of research and teaching excellence internationally. It is rapidly becoming one of the major centres of research in the domain of the water-energy-carbon nexus.
The role
The PhD scholars will develop skills in modeling, analysis, data management, scenario and policy formulation and least cost carbon-abatement strategy development. The research will connect with and support a number of new projects at UQ including:
- An ARC Linkage project to quantify the presently unknown water-energy-carbon connections in individual households, as well as clusters of households within cities. The project will lead to detailed knowledge of the influence of technologies, behaviours, and urban water policy, on water use and related energy use, carbon emissions and costs. The results will inform efficient design, monitoring and management of buildings and cities. The work is supported by the Melbourne Water Sector (Smart Water Fund) and has strong linkages with the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology), ETH Zurich (Bits to Energy Laboratory) and other partners.
- A project addressing water cycle in South East Queensland to help underpin improved long-term cost-efficiency and hedge against escalating energy costs. The project will (a) quantify the carbon impact (risk) in the water supply chain (b) develop and input to decision support tools for asset optimisation (c) identify least cost options (d) engage with stakeholders throughout the project.
- Other projects including construction of an on-line virtual laboratory for Industrial Ecology using a multi-stakeholder input-output model (involving 6 other national research partners).
There are opportunities to work on large water and energy data sets, and with existing and developing models. The work is relevant engineering, physics, environmental management and social science.
Collectively the water-energy-carbon research group work will enable formation of a broader set of policy outcomes of national relevance to addressing the national goal of 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, while also minimizing water use and overall urban metabolism. It will have wide potential implications for water and energy utility governance.

PhD Scholarship Phylogeography, Extinctions and Global Climate Change Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship at the Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate, Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. The PhD candidate will be enrolled for a 3 year period starting between January 1 and March 1, 2013.
Research area and project description: This PhD project is part of a new Sapere Aude grant entitled "Species Extinctions Under Climate Change: Re-evaluating Extinction Risk" (EXTINCTIONs). EXTINCTIONs aims at assessing past and current population dynamics and extinction processes and how can this knowledge about the past help to better predict the future impacts of global change in biological diversity.
A significant aspect of the EXTINCTIONs will involve relating Species Distribution Models, SDMs, and paleoclimate simulations to population genetic/phylogeographic data to investigate the relationship between population size and geographic range size under climate change over evolutionary time-scales. The PhD student will contribute to this broader objective by investigating the spatial and temporal dynamics of genetic diversity and population structure for numerous species during the Late Quaternary. The goal of this PhD project will be to integrate phylogeographic inference with methods and theory from other ecological and evolutionary sub-disciplines (including macroecology) to understand population dynamics under historical climate change. Technically, the project will include conducting statistical phylogeographic and population genetic analyses, species distribution modeling, and GIS manipulation of species distribution and climatic data. To achieve this aim the Phd student will help, in collaboration with a bioinformatician, to compile a database of phylogeographic and population genetic data spanning different biomes and taxonomic groups from public databases such as GENBANK, NCBI and EMBL.
