The joint International Master in Rural Development (IMRD), part of the European Erasmus Mundus program, offers the opportunity to study the European vision on rural development in its diversity of approaches and applications, on a scholarship provided by the European Union (as of 2010-2011 also for European students). The objective is to train specialists in integrated rural development, focussed on socio-economic and institutional aspects, not only from the European Union but also from developed, developing and transition countries outside the European Union through a 2 year master program (120 ECTS) jointly organised by seven European leading institutes in agricultural economics and rural development. The Master program is offered by Ghent University (Belgium), Agrocampus Ouest (France), Humboldt University of Berlin (Germany), the University of Cordoba (Spain), in collaboration with Wageningen University (The Netherlands), the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra (Slovakia) and the University of Pisa (Italy). As of 2010-2011 these will be joined by universities in China, Ecuador, India and South Africa. The methodology consists of a combination of basic and specialised training in technical, economic and social sciences, a case study of one month, an individual master thesis and a high extent of student and scholar mobility.

Content of the function - The research project will focus on post-conflict governance in Nepal. More specifically the project aims to produce new insights into the complex interplay between fragile state institutions and alternative, informal (governance) networks, and examine its impact on democratic initiatives of state reconstruction in Nepal; - The assignment will build on the tradition of the research group, namely an emphasis on fieldwork and case expertise; - The project duration and pay scale will depend upon the qualifications and seniority of the researcher. The available funds are calculated on the basis of the two-year salary of a starting doctoral student. - This project is explicitly intended as the starting point for a doctoral dissertation. Profile - Holder of a Master degree in the Social Sciences or Humanities; - Interest in and knowledge of governance processes at the local level from an ethnographic perspective; - Field and research experience in Nepal or (South) Asia is recommended; - Languages: English; knowledge of local languages is recommended. Apply Source: www.ugent.be/en/news/vacancies/scientific/bs Call for candidates (m/f) for fulltime PhD positions at the Expertise Centre for Digital Media (EDM), ICT research institute of Hasselt University in Belgium, in the context of the BOF research project "Simultaneous Interaction Spaces": 2 PhD Scholarships (2x2 years) ‘Computer Science - Intelligent Environments’ (mandate 090/32/089 and 090/32/090) Envisioned research The applicants will be focusing on (connected) smart environments in which context-aware interactive visualizations on arbitrary surfaces for multiple simultaneous users are realized. This implies investigating the required supporting infrastructure (hard- and software) for the creation of such environments, protocols for communication, software to support users and applications, tools for end-users and developers to interact, and finally appropriate and novel ways of interaction. The goal is to develop the next-generation everywhere display for distributed collaborative environments where large data sets are typically required to accomplish the envisioned end-user goals. Profile and diploma Enthusiastic applicants with excellent study results are invited to apply. Successful applicants have a keen interest in the aforementioned research and can work both independently as well as in team. Candidates should hold a master degree in computer science, a civil engineer degree in computer science or equivalent. Students, who will complete these studies during the summer, are also strongly invited to apply. Job offer We offer a challenging research position in EDM, one of the larger research institutes at UHasselt and a dynamic work environment to about 70 researchers. EDM is currently investing in a growing ubicomp research domain, including a state-of-the-art research infrastructure. Hasselt University offers a full PhD-scholarship for 2x2 years.

Application by e-mail will only be taken into consideration when sent to the following address: jobs@uhasselt.be The mission of the Leuven International Doctoral School Biomedical Sciences is to train young biomedical researchers to explore the fundamentals of living systems at all levels - from gene to cell to body and mind - and to leverage that knowledge to improve human health. For 2010 we can offer up to 18 fully-funded PhD positions in the following doctoral school programs: - Cancer (4 fellowships) - Cell Signaling and Therapeutics (6 fellowships) - Cognitive and Molecular Neuroscience (1 fellowship) - Drug Design and Development: from Target to Market (1 fellowship) - Emerging Concepts in Cardiovascular Medicine (1 fellowship) - Exercise and Physical Activity in Health and Disease (2 fellowships) - Molecular and Stem Cell Medicine (3 fellowships) Successful applicants will perform doctoral research under the supervision of a promoter who is affiliated to one of the doctoral school programs. In addition, the doctoral training includes thematic education and encourages PhD students to develop transferable skills. PhD students are expected to finalize the doctoral training and research within a period of four years. Applications are invited from enthusiastic (under)graduates in any relevant biomedical area with an excellent study track record.
