SICSA prize studentships competition for the best and brightest in informatics & computing 25/02/2010
An annual studentship competition for the best and brightest in informatics and computing SICSA offers up to 20 prize studentships per year to the very best students from anywhere in the world. Our aim is to attract the research leaders of the future, whatever their nationality or place of residence, to come and work with us in Scotland. Each SICSA student will spend 3 to 4 years as part of a programme coordinated across the partners. These students will catalyze new collaborations across the research community, and lead the next generation of excellent computing researchers. In 2010, we will be offering up to 20 SICSA prize studentships, across Scotland. We are looking for outstanding applicants in any area of computer science and informatics. We are particularly interested in applications from students who want to work in one of the SICSA research themes. SICSA prize studentships are funded jointly by the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) and the university where the studentship is held. They are worth around £18,000 per year for 3.5 years. This includes support for living expenses of around £13,000, research expenses and postgraduate fees at the level charged to students who are UK/EU residents. Additional support may be available to students who are not UK/EU residents and who would normally be required to pay the full postgraduate fee. The level of this support, however, depends on individual universities and cannot be guaranteed. SICSA is committed to Scottish research collaboration, including excellent researchers in smaller groups as well as those in larger units. Studentships are therefore available at all Scottish Universities that are members of SICSA. To reinforce the collaborative nature of SICSA, each studentship will involve cross-site supervision. Formally, however, each student would be registered in the traditional manner, at a single degree-awarding institution. Studentship conditions It is a condition of the award of a studentship that SICSA-funded students must take a number of graduate training courses, attend at least one SICSA summer school and agree to participate in Scottish Graduate Academy activities. To be considered in March 2010, applications must be received by the deadline of 28th February 2010. Remember, you have to fill in both a university application form and a SICSA prize studentship application form.

This perspective may employ different empirical methods, such as experiments and surveys, and may build upon different levels of analysis, such as the individual (i.e. bounded rationality of individual decision takers) and the group (i.e. studies that explore the impact of social variables such as trust, dependency and learning on supply chain performance). Tasks As part of the research group of the Supply Chain Management Laboratory (scmLAB), the candidate should conduct empirical research to develop and test theories related to (inter)organizational learning in supply chain relationships which could be published in top international scientific journals. Related research lines of the research group can be consulted on the website www.zlc.edu.es/lab/scmlab. Eligibility Exceptional applicants from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. All applicants must, at a minimum, fulfill all of the admissions requirements for the PhD in Logistics and Supply Chain management of Zaragoza Logistics Center in order to be considered. While applicants are expected to have an aptitude for analytical thinking, a previous degree in engineering is not required. Furthermore, candidates should have excellent research and writing skills, and be fluent in English. Spanish is not a requirement. Knowledge on experimental design is highly desirable.

Furthermore there is funding for training activities and for travel related to the research project. The fellow will be enrolled in the PhD in Logistics and Supply Chain Management Program of Zaragoza Logistics Center. PhD students for the first two years typically complete courses in the MIT-Zaragoza master’s degree program (ZLOG) before continuing with advanced courses and dissertation work.
