Computational modeling of auxin dynamics during lateral root initiation

The department plant systems biology of the VIB has an opening for an ambitious and energetic research assistant in the new research group Plant Systems Modeling, that focuses on computational modeling of plant developmental biology. Systems biology is a relatively new approach in biology, that shifts focus from individual molecules, genes and cells to their dynamic interplay: how do molecules, genes and cells form a working mechanism, behaving in a predictable way? A crucial pilar in this approach at the interface of biology, physics and computer science, is computational modeling. Modeling the biological system in a computer simulation gives us insights into developmental

Mathematics and Statisitics PhD Studentships
at the University of Kent for September 2007

Applications are invited for two PhD Studentships for the academic year
2007/08. These Studentships cover tuition fees at the Home/EU rate and a
stipend at the basic Research Council rate, which is currently 12,600
pounds per annum. The studentships are for three years, subject to satisfactory academic progress. Recipients of these studentships may be required to do some teaching as part of the terms of the studentship.

The studentships are open to candidates applying to the PhD programme in Statistics, Applied Mathematics or Pure Mathematics. Applicants must have a good Honours degree (either first or upper second class) or a Masters degree, in a relevant subject. Please indicate in your PhD application that you wish to be considered for available studentships.

FELab, the Financial Engineering Laboratory of the Centre for Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT) at University of Twente, is a joint initiative of researchers in the field of Financial Engineering within the Department of Applied Mathematics at the School of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science and the Department of Finance and Accounting at the School of Business, Public Administration and Technology. Faculty and Ph.D. students in Financial Engineering from both departments participate in the laboratory.

FELab is very happy to announce that Saen Options Holding and Euronext-Liffe have decided to make available two scholarships for our Master programme in Financial Engineering. The scholarships will be awarded to two exceptional candidates for the programme. Interested candidates should send their letter to the FELab secretariat

International MBA Scholarships

The Nyenrode International MBA program (IMBA) has been committed to preparing students for the future for 25 years, and many companies support our dedication. We are pleased to announce that additional contributions have enabled us to provide increased financial support to smart, driven, and committed students through our scholarship opportunities.

As of May 1, 2007, extra merit-based funding has been made available to candidates accepted to the 2007/2008 program starting in October 2007, as outlined below. In addition to financial support, the winners will be assigned an experienced manager as a personal coach for the duration of their MBA studies.

The Savannah College of Art and Design has a special scholarship opportunity for educators. Educators who are employed full-time at the time of application and who teach at the kindergarten through college level at a public or private institution recognized by the applicant's state department of education may be eligible to receive a scholarship/fellowship for half the amount of SCAD's tuition.

To be eligible, an educator must apply and be accepted to SCAD and provide proof of employment and good standing from his or her school administrator or human resources department. The scholarship/fellowship is renewable, provided that the recipient remains a full-time, degree-seeking student in the chosen program and maintains a 3.0 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale. SCAD e-Learning students who cannot enroll full-time due to course limitations, may have the fellowship prorated for the highest number of classes in which the student is enrolled. Recipients are expected to assume a positive student leadership role by excelling in classes, by contributing to a sense of community and unity within the college, and by interacting with other students and employees of the college in a courteous, cooperative manner. The award amounts are disbursed equally to each quarter's expenses.
