Summer Doctoral Programme (SDP) 2010
We are delighted to announce that the eighth Oxford Internet Institute (OII) Summer Doctoral Programme (SDP) will be held in Oxford from 5-16 July 2010.
Academic programme
The aim of the programme is to bring together advanced doctoral students engaged in dissertation research relating to the Internet and other ICTs. By sharing their work and learning from leading academics in the field, students can enhance the quality and significance of their thesis research and create a peer network of excellent young researchers.
The 2010 Summer Doctoral Programme will draw substantially upon the OII's research strengths and will involve participation from many of our faculty, together with colleagues from other partner institutions. It will emphasise methodological innovation and good practice in research design, and will expose students to the benefits of discussing their research in a multi-disciplinary teaching environment.
The well-established format of the SDP course structure will be continued with daily research seminars and discussions led by an international group of leading researchers. All students will be asked to present their research to their peers in informal seminars. Theprogramme will facilitate deep discussion of both substantive and methodological research issues, and help students frame their research questions and direct their research. It will also seek to generate dialogue and debate between students from different disciplinary backgrounds on issues relating to the OII's broad research themes with a view to identifying topics for future collaborative research.
Research areas
We welcome applications from advanced doctoral students in any discipline whose work in the field of Internet research engages with the OII's research priorities of Everyday life, Governance and democracy, Science and Learning and Shaping theInternet. Reflecting the disciplinary base of the OII, most of the seminars will draw on Internet-related research in the social sciences, but some may also cover aspects of the department's projects in the humanities and computer science.
Tutors
Tutors will be listed here as they are confirmed over the next few weeks.
Fees and scholarships
The course cost of £1550 covers accommodation at Lady Margaret Hall from 4-16 July inclusive, and all course tuition fees. Travel to and from Oxford is not included in this fee. Lunch will be provided on week days at the OII, and several dinners and social events are also included.
We are currently looking for additional funding to provide support for student scholarships. Further information will be made available as such support is confirmed. Please note that students do not need to make a request for a scholarship at the application stage as this will be dealt with once the selection process has been completed.
How to apply
Up to 27 places are available and will be awarded on a competitive basis. Preference will be given to students at an advanced stage of their doctorate who have embarked on writing their thesis. All teaching will be in English, so all applicants should be able to demonstrate their competence in this language.
All student applications must be supported by one or more of the students' current doctoral programme advisors or dissertation supervisors. References will be requested for all students who are offered a place on the programme. Similarly, students should be able to clearly explain how their doctoral studies will benefit from the programme.

Art & Design School Scholarships
There’s good news! Hundreds and hundreds of art and design scholarships are available, and you’re probably eligible for more than a few of them. Now, the bad news. None of them are going to jump up and grab you. So, where can you find these scholarships? More importantly, how can you win them?
Part 1: Where to Look for Art Scholarships
Here’s a sample of groups and organizations that often offer art and design scholarships:
- School, College and University Art Departments
- Community and Civic Groups
- Professional Organizations
- Your Employer, Local Businesses and National Chains
- Charitable Foundations
- Arts Festivals and Competitions
- Art Schools -- This may seem obvious, but students often overlook scholarships offered by the very schools to which they're applying. Learn more about scholarships at these schools:
The Art Instiute Online
Westwood College (for high school seniors)
Pratt Institute
and many others. Check with the school for more information.
Identify as many of these possibilities as you can. Look locally, too. Scholarship directories like FastWeb.com also offer hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships.
Once you’ve found all the available awards, get organized. Start a table, chart or spreadsheet with columns like "Sponsor," "Scholarship Name," "Contact Name," "Amount," "Requirements," and (very importantly) "Deadline."
Of course, you only want to put your valuable time into applying for the scholarships which best suit your ambitions… or the ones you can make out to fit your ambitions. For now, though, put down everything you come across that’s even close, and once you’ve finished your list, take a good, hard look at which options are most worth your efforts.
Part 2: Winning Art Scholarships
Give Yourself Time
When you give yourself plenty of time, you can "position" yourself much better to qualify.
In other words, if there are requirements that you may not have met or excelled in, now you have a year to do it and really impress the judges! Take a hard look at what past winners did to win, and learn from what they did right. Maybe even track them down to see what they did and how they did it.
If you start late, then it’s less likely that you’ll have done exactly what the judges are looking for, and you may have to stretch things to make it appear that you did. That isn’t the best position to be in.
If possible (and it’s not always possible), do what you can to talk to some of the people granting the scholarships and find out specifically what they’re looking for. Often, organizations will have summaries of winning applications for you to review – definitely inquire about that!
There may be more to the application than you’ll find in the instructions.
Apply EARLY!
Most people turn their stuff in at the last minute, so don’t you dare be in with that crowd! When the application deadline approaches, you must get your stuff in early to stand out from the crowd.
First impressions last! If your application is strong, and you get it in the hands of the judges early, then there’s a much better chance that they will remember you. You need to show that you’re different from the rest, more deserving than the rest. An important way to do that it to get it done before the rest – one to two weeks in advance should be plenty.
Start early, think ahead. Your chances will be much better.
Reality Checks
Reality Check #1: Be wary of folks on the web, in the mail or on the phone who tell say you must pay them in order to get a scholarship. The offers may sound enticing, but it also may be a marketing trick.
Reality Check #2: You won’t find too many Art Scholarships that will provide a free ride the entire way through the college experience. Yes, there are some. But the competition is fierce, with thousands of students applying, and you’d better not bet your house that you’ll get one — no matter how good you are.
The most abundant scholarships are in the $250 to $2,000 range. Before you scoff, remember that every little bit helps, and even the smallest scholarship will buy some pretty expensive books for a semester or two.
Good luck!

READMORE...Minority Scholarships | Finding Minority Scholarships You Need
A Minority scholarship is targeted to minority communities at many higher education institutions. If college is in your future, yet the ability to pay for it seems out of reach, one of the best options is to get a scholarship. However, applying for and receiving scholarships is not always as cut and dried as you may wish.
Have you ever explored the possibility of minority scholarships, or do you think you won’t be able to qualify because you make too much money or figure that enough applications have been turned in and your chances are slim?
Here are some tips you can use to help you land a winning scholarship and get the education you desire.
First, start looking for scholarships as soon as possible. Some programs require you to apply even before you are a senior, and many require you to apply early in your senior year. Even if it is too early to apply, knowing the application deadline ahead of time will ensure that you do not miss it. Visit local colleges and ask them about their minority scholarships. Pick up any applications or materials and talk to the staff about some tips and tricks to applying for each particular scholarship. You can also look online for remote colleges and opportunities for scholarships. While these may seem harder to get, you probably have just as much a chance to win them than you do a scholarship from a local college.
Apply For and Get Your Minority Scholarship For College
There is a lot of competition out there for minority scholarships, but getting that application in is half the battle. So, where should you start?
Applying for a minority scholarship should be based on what your potential college hopeful might be going into, since there are available scholarships for almost every college and curriculum and its best to gear your requests towards those schools. Sometimes you’ll find people embarrassed about asking for scholarships, but this is one time your pride will cut you off from the potential of an education for your child. If your college-bound son or daughter has an interest in a subject that isn’t mainstream, you might feel that a minority scholarship probably doesn’t exist, but you would be mistaken. Grants and scholarships are given by colleges due to alumni contributions and federal money. If you don’t apply, you’ll never find out if one is available.
Remember, the key is that you need to apply for each and every minority scholarship where you meet the requirements. Most can be done online so there is not even the cost of a postage stamp involved with it, just the very simple requirement that you APPLY. Stop wishing and start applying today!

World Bank Master Scholarship in Economics/Policy Management, Japan
University of Tsukuba offers Policy Management master program.This Program has been operating from April 1995 and it is the oldest Partner Program in Japan of the Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program, a large scholarship program funded by the Government of Japan and managed by the World Bank Institute in Washington. In addition to that sponsorship, which ensures the award of ten scholarships to successful applicants to this Program, the University of Tsukuba hold similar arrangements with the Inter-American Development Bank.Applicants admitted to the Program in Economic and Public Policy Management are eligible for scholarships provided by the Joint Japan/World Bank Graduate Scholarship Program (JJ/WBGSP) of the World Bank and the Japan-IDB Scholarship Program of the Inter-American Development Bank provided that they meet the specific requirements of each program as described below.
Fifteen scholarships are provided by the JJ/WBGSP for this purpose. To be eligible, a candidate must be a national of a World Bank member country that is currently eligible to borrow from the Bank. In addition, Executive Directors, their alternates, and staff of the World Bank Group,including consultants, as well as their close relatives, are excluded from consideration.
Candidates should also be aware that, according to the general selection criteria of the World Bank,“while applicants from allWorld Bank member countries may apply for a JJ/WBGSP scholarships, the program gives priority to World Bank member countries currently eligible to borrow,especially low and middle-income countries.The program also gives priority to: women; applicants with few other resources and from lower social and economic classes;applicants who have not had previous opportunities for graduate study outside their home country; and applicants who do not already hold a graduate degree from an industrialized country� (for further information, see http://www.worldbank.org/wbi).
In addition to these fifteen scholarships, the Japan-IDB Scholarship Program of the Inter-American Development Bank offers no less than two scholarships to applicants from countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Applicants from this region will be advised on their options at the proper time (see more at ttp://www.iadb.org/int/eng/japan_scholarship.htm).
The scholarships benefits cover:
- economy class travel between the home country and Tsukuba, plus a travel allowance of US$ 500 for each one-way trip
- tuition and other Program fees
- a monthly stipend for subsistence needs roughly equivalent to that given by the scholarships program of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (currently 170,000 yen monthly)
- medical insurance costs
These benefits cover only the scholarship recipient and are not extendable to family members. Other costs not covered by the scholarship:
- additional travel during the course of the Program

As in the case of the World Bank, Executive Directors, staff and their close relatives are excluded from consideration.
READMORE...Ph.D. position in solar cell, thin film technology
Institute of Physics / Thin film group / Lab. Prof. Adrian, University of Mainz
Mainz, Germany
The Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz is one of Germany’s largest Universities with more than 30000 students. Mainz is located in the Rhein-Main-area close to Frankfurt airport.
The Physics department has branches in nuclear physics, atomic physics, and solid state physics. Close cooperations to Max-Planck Institues on the campus exist and enhance research possibilities
Description:
Solar cells are now a standard high tech product. However, current thin film solar cells use rare and expensive materials like indium. With decreasing manufacturing costs of the modules material prices will become more important. In our project we look for alternative materials for solar cells which will be relevant in future generation solar cells.
Within a joint cooperative project of several Universities and research institutes we will prepare at the University of Mainz new thin film materials and characterize the inner interfaces of solar cell structures by high energy photoemission using our synchrotron measurement facilities. The material we grow will serve as absorber material in p-i-n type solar cells.
The candidate should have a good knowledge on solid state physics and/or thin film technology. Social competence is needed for integration in a research team as well as for a llimited amount of teaching obligations at the University. Fluency in English is a must, knowledge of German will be helpful.
Start of the project will be in October 2009
To apply: Please send your cv. to jakob@uni-mainz.de
Expires: November 06, 2009
