International Scholarships Beasiswa 2009, 2010 (Doctoral, Master, Bachelor, Postdoctoral)

Beasiswa Scholarships : Scholarship / Financial aid: USD 25,000 to 50,000 per year offered

Date: one year

Deadline: November 30th 2009

Open to: women from developing and emerging economies

Announcement follows


Candidates have from October 5th to November 30th 2009 to apply for the Schlumberger Foundation 2010 Faculty for the Future fellowships.

Application schedule for new and renewal 2010 awards

Applications open on October 5, 2009 and close on November 30, 2009.
Awards will be announced on February 28, 2010.


Faculty for the Future fellowships are awarded to women from developing and emerging economies who are preparing for PhD or postdoctoral study in the physical sciences, engineering and related disciplines* to pursue advanced graduate study at top universities in their disciplines abroad.

Launched by the Schlumberger Foundation in 2004, Faculty for the Future has grown to become a community of 110 women from 35 countries.

The long-term goal of the Faculty for the Future program is to generate conditions that result in more women pursuing scientific disciplines. Grant recipients are therefore selected as much for their leadership capabilities as their scientific talents and they are expected to return to their home countries to continue their academic careers and inspire other young women.

Faculty for the Future grants are in the range of USD 25,000 to 50,000 per year, and may be renewed through to completion of studies subject to performance, self-evaluation, and recommendations from supervisors. The amount of the grant depends on the actual costs of study and living in the chosen location.

Eligibility
Applicants must meet the following criteria:
- be a citizen of a developing or emerging country
- be preparing for PhD or post-doctoral study in the physical sciences or related disciplines
- have a proven track record of teaching experience
- can demonstrate active participation in faculty life and outreach work to encourage young women into the sciences
- hold an excellent academic record

The online application form will be available as of October 5th, 2009. Sample versions of new forms are now available for consultation at the link below so candidates can start preparing their application content.

Beasiswa Scholarships : 4 year PhD scholarship

Flexible bioinformatics pipelines for the integration of genotype-to-phenotype experiments
Where: Genetics department & Groningen Bioinformatics Center, University Medical Center Groningen, Netherlands
Apply: To m.a.swertz@rug.nl before November 6st, 2009
Start: Before December 31st, 2009

Summary:
Most (disease) phenotypes have a complex inheritance. Integrated analyses of (i) high-throughput sequencing, genotype, transcript, protein, metabolic and phenotypic/clinical profiling data, (ii) use of model organisms such as mouse and worm, and (iii) integration of background information from literature and public

database show much potential to unravel these genome-to-phenotype trajectories.

This exciting project will (i) define minimal parameters, models, algorithms and tools for the efficient generation of (ii) flexible “cyber infrastructures” to pipeline far greater volumes of experimental, functional and network data on human and mouse than can be achieved using manual analysis (iii) to pinpoint genes and molecular networks underlying complex phenotypes at significantly increased accuracy and reduced effort. You will build on novel "model-driven strategies" to generate the necessary software efficiently (Swertz, Nature Reviews Genetics, 2007), minimal models and ontologies for integrated representation of all these types of data (e.g. http://www.xgap.org, http://www.ebi.ac.uk/EFO), and a suite of open source software for the integration of data and tools (e.g. http://www.molgenis.org).

The ideal candidate has an MSc in bioinformatics, computer science, molecular biology, computational biology, artificial intelligence or a related field, proven interest in biology and bioinformatics, a strong programming background and excellent English communication skills. This bursary grant is guaranteed for 4 years at approximate € 1500 euro/month with an evaluation after one year.
