Tuition fees

The tuition fee for the Master in Economics and Finance 2012-2014 is EUR 3,785 per year. This figure may be adjusted by a limited amount, following regulations of the Spanish education authorities.

Exemption from tuition and scholarships

CEMFI may grant students exemptions of the tuition fee and/or scholarships for living expenses amounting up to EUR 10,000 per year. Exemptions and scholarships are granted according to academic merit. Some of this support is funded by a set of sponsoring institutions. Applications for funding will not affect the student’s chances of being admitted in any way.

Applicants of the Master are encouraged to apply directly for external scholarships for graduate programs. These scholarships usually have very early application deadlines. Therefore, we highly recommend students to apply well in advance.

Some institutions awarding scholarships to Spanish and EU students are: Banco de España, cajAstur, Fundación la Caixa, Fundación Rafael del Pino, Generalitat de Catalunya, Gobierno Vasco, and the Spanish Ministry of Labour (Reina Sofía Scholarships).

After enrolling in the Master these students can also apply for a scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Education.

Non-EU students (including Latin American students) should consult the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affaires website for the MAEC-AECID scholarships.

Scholarships for Latin American students

In preceding years, special scholarships have been available for Latin American students of the Master. In case these scholarships are endowed, an announcement will appear in our website. Applications for these grants would then be carried out directly at the website of the granting institution, not at CEMFI’s.

Subsidized loans

The Spanish Ministry of Education subsidizes loans in a set of banking institutions, for which students of any nationality, with residence in Spain, who enrol in graduate studies may apply.

Two PhD Positions on Hybrid Knowledge Representation

2011-09-25T18:35:00.000-07:00

***** Two PhD Positions on Hybrid Knowledge Representation *****

Center for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS)
Örebro University, Sweden
==============================

========================================

----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Short
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Applications are invited for two PhD student positions in Computer
Science at Örebro University, Sweden. The positions are in the area of
hybrid knowledge representaiton and reasoning, planning and execution
monitoring in the context of the EU project RACE. The positions are
for three years. Application deadline is October 15, 2011.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About the Positions
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The main task of the students will be to perform world-class research
on hybrid knowledge representation and reasoning, and hybrid planning
and plan execution monitoring, for robotic systems. Hybrid in this
context means that the robot is capable of inferring new information
about its environment from a variety of information of different
nature. For instance, the robot will consider flexible temporal
requirements (e.g., serving food while it is warm, but not too soon
after the previous course) together with causal requirements (e.g.,
serving a meal satisfies the goal of feeding the guests) and resource
constraints (e.g., dishes from the previous course must be cleared as
space must be made for the new course). Such requirements should be
upheld both during planning and on-line execution monitoring.

The successful candidates will be employed as PhD students with Örebro
University for an expected duration of three years. They will work
within the local RACE team at Örebro University, but they will also
collaborate with the other European partners in RACE, both remotely and
through physical meetings and research visits. A limited amount of
teaching may also be part of the PhD student's duties.

More information can be found at http://aass.oru.se/CRS/positions.html

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About the RACE Project
----------------------------------------------------------------------

RACE, "Robustness by Autonomous Competence Enhancement", is a European
Union FP7 project. The overall aim of RACE is to develop an artificial
cognitive system, embodied by a service robot, able to build a
high-level understanding of the world it inhabits by storing and
exploiting appropriate memories of its experiences. Experiences will
be recorded internally at multiple levels: high-level descriptions in
terms of goals, tasks and behaviours, and sensory and actuator skills
at the lowest level. RACE will develop methods for conceptualizing
acquired experiences so as to extend the robot's planning and execution
capabilities beyond preconceived situations.

AASS's role in RACE concerns (1) the development of knowledge
representation and reasoning schemes suited for reasoning about
multiple types of experiences; and (2) the use of this acquired and
inferred knowledge for plan generation and execution. Constraint-based
techniques will be explored for both representation and reasoning and
planning/execution monitoring purposes, and in particular a meta-CSP
approach for integrating temporal, resource, causal and spatial
reasoning will be examined.

The RACE consortium consists of six European partners: the University
of Hamburg (Germany), the University of Leeds (UK), Örebro University
(Sweden), the University of Osnabrück (Germany), the University of
Aveiro (Portugal), and the technology transfer institution HITeC
e.V. (Germany).

Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship Program for International Students

2011-08-24T21:29:00.000-07:00

The Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship (Vanier CGS) was created to attract and retain world-class doctoral students and to establish Canada as a global centre of excellence in research and higher learning. It is worth $50,000 per year for three years and is available to both Canadian and international PhD students studying at Canadian universities.

In an effort to support students in broadening their research horizons and seeking new challenges, the Vanier CGS program strongly encourages candidates to pursue their studies beyond the university that granted their undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Eligibility for Nomination

To be considered for a Vanier CGS, you must:

be nominated by only one Canadian university, which must have received a Vanier CGS allocation;
be seeking financial support to pursue your first doctoral degree (or combined MA/PhD or MD/PhD);

Nomination process

Students apply, or are invited to apply, for the Vanier CGS funding program through the Canadian institution where they will pursue their studies (they need not have been offered admission at the time of application).
Candidates must complete the Vanier CGS application form, including all official transcripts, and submit it to their department.
Departments review the applications and nominate one student for Vanier awards in NSERC, SSHRC or CIHR, as appropriate.

The university is permitted to send forward a limited number of applications to each agency as follows:

NSERC = 7
SSHRC = 2
CIHR = 1

Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships (Vanier CGS) must be held at the nominating university.

Nominees will be evaluated and selected based on the three main criteria: academic excellence, research potential, and leadership. In submitting your nominations, please pay close attention to the requirement for evidence of leadership skills or potential.

Application Procedure

For further details and application procedure please visit the Vanier Canada webpage.

PhD Anthropology and Epistemology Scholarships at University of Bergamo, Italy

2011-07-31T20:37:00.000-07:00

Ph.D. School in Anthropology and Epistemology of Complexity

The research activity of the Ph.D. Programme in Anthropology and Epistemology of Complexity as well as of the Centre for Research on the Anthropology and Epistemology of Complexity addresses a number of major research foci: human identity as part of a wider reflection on Nature; planetary history in a ecological perspective;ù the understanding of history and of the main changes in scientific and philosophical thinking; the analysis of globalization processes; the study of Europe; the exploration of urban and metropolitan spaces; the interest in information technologies; the reflection on the new frontiers of the sacred, violence and war.

Main research lines draw a plurality of transdisciplinary intersections showing that knowledge complexity is first of all the acknowledgment of Nature complexity, which cannot be reduced to any pre-ordinate paradigm.

Modern occidental thinking is essentially based on principles of reduction, abstraction and division re-proposing the military principle of divide et impera (divide and rule). It separated and still separates Nature processes from knowledge ones by favouring the study of minimal unites and system parts without allowing us to approach the hard understanding of solidarities, intersections and mutual implications from which such minimal unities derive as non-elementary complex elements. Disciplinary divisions and the overspecialization of academic disciplines that are still dominating our western culture show the fragmentation of our way of thinking and its consequent forms of dominance of man over man, of man over woman, as well as of man over other species and over Nature. Modern scientific tradition has bequeathed to us a schematic and reductionist way of thinking unable to conceive the complexity of Nature and human beings in its multiple dimensions at different levels.

The scientific revolutions of the XX Century - the revolution of relativity and quantum as well as of chaos and information - have shown a new possible perspective of study within contemporary sciences and the opportunity to overcome the division between human and natural sciences moving towards what is called a "New Alliance".

The challenge of complexity is to reunify what the modern thinking has contributed to divide, by showing the crucial importance of the inextricable networks of reciprocal connections among processes that have been arbitrarily separated and isolated by the modern scientific tradition. Complex thinking attempts to favour a kind of knowledge able to critically reflect upon itself, to understand its own limits and to be open to and respectful of ethnic and cultural alterities, by definitively overcoming a kind of scientific knowledge that considered itself to be absolute in order to state western superiority and legitimize its dominance as well. The understanding of complexity involves indeed a new ethic perspective that is based on novel forms of planetary and cosmic solidarity moving away from modern cultural religious, ethnic as well as gender and species differences.

The Ph.D. Programme in Anthropology and Epistemology of Complexity was launched in 2002 at the University of Bergamo within the University system planning for the three-year period 2001-2003 (D.M. 8.5.2001, art.12 – Corsi di dottorato e attività di ricerca avanzata).

Prof. Mauro Ceruti directed the Ph.D. Programme from 2002 to 2008

Sinopsis Riset

===========

Accurate information on myocardial motion is very important in diagnosing cardiac abnormalities since physician can early detect the cardiac abnormalities by observing its motion. Current research on cardiac motion mainly focused on the improvement of motion accuracy and only few publications reported on the quantification and interpreation of the motion. Researchers previously attempted to extract some motion properties to differentiate between normal and abnormal cardiac. However, they did not provide a complete segmental profile of cardiac motion for temporal observation. The complexity of cardiac motion and the present of speckle noise on ultrasound images also challenge researchers to perform more accurate abnormality detection. The objective of this research is to investigate robust properties of myocardial motion that can be used to assist cardiologist in diagnosing cardiac abnormality. Some steps of image processing techniques, namely motion-based image enhancement, motion estimation using enhanced optical flow, extraction of robust motion features, generation of segmental myocardial profile and accurate classification task, will be applied in this research. To validate the proposed techniques, the classification results are then compared to the manual diagnosis previously done by three or more cardiologists. At the end, this research is expected to provide new findings of myocardial motion profiles that can be easily used by physician to accurately indentify the cardiac motion abnormalities. Additionally, this research also involves postgraduate students and will produce a number of research articles for publications in renowned journals.

PHD Position in Evolvable Software Architecture at TU Delft

2011-07-06T00:18:00.000-07:00

The Software Engineering Research Group is looking for a full-time PhD student in the COMMIT project Allegio.

Topic: Evolvable Software Architectures

Keywords: Software architecture, software evolution, sydstem complexity, interface evolution, change-impact analysis, embedded systems

Industrial practice shows that it is extremely difficult to keep improving devices by adapting and extending the embedded software. Small changes often lead to unexpected consequences, due to unknown interactions and dependencies between parts of the system. Allegio aims at defining an integrating a set of methods and techniques to support a systematic “Right by Design” component-based software design approach for complex embedded systems. This ensures that incremental changes become predictable and meet the required system qualities such as performance and safety.

The contribution of SERG/TU-Delft is on investigating means to enable "Evolvable Software Architectures" for embedded systems in the healthcare domain. This research comprises (but is not limited to):

Evolution of large, complex embedded systems
Interface complexity and quality anlysis
Change impact analysis and prediction
Executable architectural models

The research will mainly be carried out at SERG/TU Delft in close collaboration with Philips Healthcare (iXR R&D) and the Embedded Systems Institute (ESI). The research will follow an industry-as-laboratory style: actual research problems are drawn from industry and solutions are evaluated in the industrial context, here Philips Healthcare.

These positions are full-time paid research positions, 4 years fixed term (with 1 year probationary period), according to the collective labor agreement of the Dutch universities (which can be downloaded from www.vsnu.nl). TU Delft offers an attractive benefits package, including a flexible work week, free high-speed Internet access from home, and the option of assembling a customized compensation and benefits package (the 'IKA'). TU Delft is an equal opportunity employer.

Requirements for candidates

Master’s degree in computer science or informatics
Excellent knowledge in software engineering and programming
Good communicator, strong social skills, team player
Independent working style
An excellent command of the English language is an absolute must
Not afraid to learn

Knowledge in software architecture, software evolution, reverse engineering and software analysis is a plus.

Application Documents

When applying, make sure to include the following documents (pdf) in English:

A motivational letter specifically referring to the open positions (maximum 3 pages)
A detailed resume (with publications, if you have any)
Copies of marks and degrees/certificates
A list of 3 references that we can contact
Your MSc thesis in English (or alternative if your MSc thesis is not in English, a 5-page summary of your MSc thesis in English).

Applications not containing all requested documents will not be considered.

PhD fellowship in Chemical Ecology at International Max Planck Research School

2011-05-26T20:46:00.000-07:00

Overview
Project 7: How do wood-feeding insects digest their diet? Supervisors: Prof. Jonathan Gershenzon, Dr. Axel Schmidt, Dr. Martin Kaltenpoth, MPI-CE

Wood-feeding insects are sometimes known to use microbial symbionts present in their guts to help in digestion and nutrient mobilization. However, nothing is known about how such insects cope with wood and resin. The large pine weevil, Hylobius abietis, is a serious pest on the bark of young conifer trees in northern Europe that must deal with both wood fiber and terpene-containing resin as major parts of its diet. This project will explore the metabolic fate of resin terpenes in these insects and the role of gut bacteria in processing terpenes and wood at the molecular, protein and metabolite levels. The project combines entomological, microbiological, chemical and molecular biology methods to better understand the lifestyle of one fascinating, long-lived species of insect. Collaboration between Research Group on Insect Symbiosis (Dr. Martin Kaltenpoth) and Department of Biochemistry (Dr. Axel Schmidt).

The project will be part of the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) “The Exploration of Ecological Interactions with Molecular and Chemical Techniques” in Jena, Germany. Students holding a Master`s degree (or equivalent) in molecular biology, ecology, entomology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry and neuroethology, with a proven record of success in one of the disciplines and interest in examining ecological interactions, are eligible to conduct a doctoral project within the IMPRS.

The Research School is a joint initiative of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology, and the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research. The main focus is on the interaction between plants and animals, and their environment, as well as the evolutionary and behavioral consequences of these interactions.

Application deadline is June 26, 2011

PhD fellowship in Legume chemistry and the specificity of pea aphid host races, Chemical Ecology at IMPRS

2011-05-26T20:39:00.000-07:00

Overview

Project 6: Legume chemistry and the specificity of pea aphid host races
Supervisors: Prof. Jonathan Gershenzon, Dr. Grit Kunert

The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), is actually a complex of distinct races that each live on a different group of legume species. Some live on several species, while others live on a single species or just a few. This ecological specialization can be considered as one of the first steps towards sympatric speciation since the host fidelity of races leads to assortative mating which reduces gene flow between host-races. The aim of this project is to identify plant chemical compounds that are responsible for the pattern of host plant usage by pea aphid races and test their involvement in ecological and evolutionary processes. We are seeking: a highly motivated Ph.D. candidate with some background in analytical chemistry, biochemistry or chemical ecology. The candidate should be strongly interested in interdisciplinary research questions. (Project leader: Grit Kunert).

The project will be part of the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) “The Exploration of Ecological Interactions with Molecular and Chemical Techniques” in Jena, Germany. Students holding a Master`s degree (or equivalent) in molecular biology, ecology, entomology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry and neuroethology, with a proven record of success in one of the disciplines and interest in examining ecological interactions, are eligible to conduct a doctoral project within the IMPRS.

PhD Studentships - Early Language Acquisiton : Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PT

2011-05-16T06:31:00.000-07:00

Max Planck Child Study Centre - University of Manchester: job description

The Max Planck Child Study Centre (MPCSS) invites applications for two fully-funded PhD studentships commencing in September 2011. The studentships provide three-year funding covering a tax-free stipend equating to approximately 16,000 Euros per annum plus generous support for travel and equipment. UK/EU tuition fees will also be covered.

The MPCSS, based in the School of Psychological Sciences, is part of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. Research is focused upon children’s early language acquisition, carried out through both experimental studies and analysis of naturalistic data.

Our studentships are not tied to pre-defined projects, however the topic of the PhD must be within the field of first language development using naturalistic and/or experimental data. Our focus is on children learning either English or German although we have ongoing studies of Polish, French, Russian and Finnish. We are increasingly conducting comparative studies in different languages. We are also interested in how children learn to use pragmatically appropriate language (for example, using appropriate referring expressions) and in the relation between social cognition and language development.

Our research concerning naturalistic studies involves tracking the sources of children’s developing constructions, including transitives, questions and complex sentences as well as conducting quantitative analyses of the children’s input.

Experimental studies focus on a number of aspects of language acquisition, such as the development of general syntactic categories (such as noun and verb), constructions (such as transitives and questions) and the development of inflectional morphology. We also look at how children learn the pragmatics of language (comprehension and production of referring expressions, answering questions appropriately and registering given/new relations in an utterance).

Previous examples of PhD research conducted within the Centre include:

• How children learn to identify referents for their listeners
• Cross-linguistic comparisons of early language development
• The pragmatics and syntax of argument omission
• English pronouns and how they help children understand constructions
• Explaining children’s errors (e.g. Me do it instead of I do it, I want go there instead of I want to go there)

Our aim is to further develop constructivist approaches to language development to the point that our understanding of typically developing children’s development in English and other languages allows us to inform the many relevant applied areas such as multilingualism and bilingualism in early development, language delay and speech therapy.

There is the possibility for students to spend short periods of time in Leipzig, designing and, if appropriate, running their studies.

Typical next destinations for PhD graduates of the Centre are University lectureships and postdoctoral research fellowships, followed, in some cases, by training programmes in Clinical or Educational Psychology.

Applicants should have, or expect to obtain, a minimum 2:1 degree (or equivalent) in psychology, linguistics or an associated discipline. A Masters degree in a similar area would be an advantage.

Interested individuals are encouraged to contact Professor Elena Lieven with a brief summary of their academic/professional background and any research proposal they would be keen to conduct within the Centre: lieven@eva.mpg.de.

Applicants are encouraged to express interest as early as possible as studentships will be allocated on an ongoing basis.

EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network EUVIRNA: job description

EUVIRNA is a European Marie Curie Initial Training Network on (+)RNA Virus Replication and Antiviral Drug Development.

EUVIRNA seeks an Early Stage Researcher for the project ‘Mode of action of novel dengue virus inhibitors’. The successful candidate is planned to obtain a PhD with this project.

Full description of the project, eligibility criteria and application procedure can be found at http://www.euvirna.eu.

Please note:
ONLY COMPLETE APPLICATIONS ACCORDING TO THE APPLICATIONS PROCEDUREARE CONSIDERED.

Project Description

Tibotec-Virco is currently screening for small molecule inhibitors of Dengue virus replication. Experiments will reveal whether a particular compound interacts with the initial phase of infection (binding, fusion, entry), intracellular replication, virus maturation or release. Genotyping and phenotyping of drug-resistant variants allows identification of viral protein targets. The interaction between inhibitor and target will be studied by expressing wt and mutant target proteins and determining the crystal structure of the inhibitor/target complex. This will allow rational design of second generation analogues with increased inhibitory effect.

Requirements

The candidate should possess a MSc degree in virology, cell biology, immunology or related discipline. Good knowledge and experience of assay development and molecular biology is an advantage. Prior experience with transcriptome/proteome analyses is an asset. The ideal candidate would have a background in infectious diseases, preferably related to Dengue virus or other related RNA viruses.
Proactive participation and contribution to the scientific community will be expected through presentations and critical thinking at internal scientific forums, requiring excellent English presentation and writing skills. The successful candidate will actively contribute to publications, presentations at external meetings and patent applications. In addition, strong communication skills and the capability to work will in a team are important.
Candidates must fulfil the eligibility criteria for Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (FP7).
Candidates should submit the complete application package.
Suitable candidates will be invited for an interview by the supervisor of the project.
