MEXT will request the universities named in the Placement Preference Form to accept the grantee, and place him/her there upon its approval in principal ( candidate who has received admission to a regular course for a degree will be placed directly in such course without needing to pass through a Research Student(non-degree) period).
If a candidate wants to enter either a public or a private university other than national university, the grantee’s preference specified in the Placement Preference Form may not be met due to budgetary reasons concerning school fees, etc. Moreover, any objection by a candidate to the decision will not be allowed.
In case a candidate is not able to request Admission to any universities due to bad communication circumstances, MEXT will discuss with the universities which a candidate named in the Placement Preference Form. However the candidate may not be accepted nor may he/she selected by the universities and them by MEXT if his/her research program plan is vague, unclear, or insufficient in content , or his/her desired major field presents difficulty from the perspective of research guidance in Japan. In this case, any objection by a candidate to the decision will not be allowed.

(2)　Research guidance such as lectures, experiments and practical training at universities is basically conducted in Japanese.

(3) If a grantee is judged to be insufficient in Japanese language proficiencies by the receiving university, usually he/she will be placed in a Japanese- language training institution designated by the university of placement or MEXT for the first six-month period after his/her arrival in Japan.

2014 Chemistry & Biochemistry Scholars Program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute

2014-03-19T02:59:00.002-07:00

Special Opportunities and a Scholarship, Too!

Research is at the heart of the study of chemistry and biochemistry. That's why it's surprising that most undergraduate chemistry curricula have only a small research component, mainly reserved for seniors. What is not surprising is that WPI, one of the most innovative universities in the nation, has changed the way students learn by creating the Chemistry and Biochemistry Scholars Program (CBSP). Students selected for the CBSP will receive:

special academic advising.
early research opportunities.
opportunities to attend on-campus chemistry colloquia and special meetings with the guest lecturers.
a CBSP scholarship, which will vary in amounts, but typically ranges between $12,500 and $25,000, and are renewable for four years.

WPI's Chemistry and Biochemistry Department exposes all of its students to original research. Our course and project offerings help students become acquainted with modern experimental techniques and sophisticated equipment. And now with the creation of the CBSP, students may begin working in faculty-directed research labs well before their senior year. They will be assisting researchers in their attempt to solve some very real problems facing our society, creating new molecules as potential treatments for Alzheimer's Disease, for instance, or discovering the mechanisms by which pathogens harvest essential minerals from their hosts.
The Best Speakers

We think it's important for students to have exposure to leaders in the field. That's why the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department enhances its curriculum by sponsoring many lectures on timely chemistry topics given by reputable professionals and researchers. We'll invite speakers of particular interest to Chemistry and Biochemistry Scholars and provide opportunities to meet with these speakers to discuss issues and research opportunities.

Here is just a small listing of recent colloquia held at WPI:

"Cleaning Up: Uptake of Xenobiotics as the First Step in Biodegradation"
Dr. Bert van den Berg, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Program in Molecular Medicine
"Molecules and Molecular Mimetics"
Dr. Thomas D. Clark, Research Chemist, Division of Chemistry, Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC
"A Chemist's Approach to High-Aspect Ratio Nanowires "
Prof. Byron D. Gates, Department of Chemistry, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada
"Superoxide Dismutase and ALS: How do mutations alter the folding energy surface?"
C. Robert Matthews, Professor and Chair, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, UMass Medical School
"Design, Synthesis and Properties of Low-Dimensional Antiferromagnets"
Prof. Mark M. Turnbull Chairman, Carlson School of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Clark University
Forensic Science Colloquium "Crime Scene Photography"
Det. Lt. Richard D. Lauria, Division of Standards and Training, Massachusetts State Police Headquarters
"System Structure-Function Analysis. An Approach for Linking Structure and Effects of Medicine"
Dr. Robert A. Volkmann, Pfizer Global Research and Development, Pfizer Inc

Facilities
All CBSP research is conducted on campus. We provide our students with easy access to our laboratories and state-of-the-art equipment. As a Chemistry or Biochemistry Scholar, you may find yourself using the following instrumentation in one or more of our many new or newly renovated laboratories:

Fluorescence lifetime spectrometer
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometers
Capillary Electrophoresis
High-field NMR spectrometer
High pressure liquid chromatography
DNA Thermocyclers (PCR)
UV/Visible Spectrophotometers
Gas chromatographs

Academic Scholarship

Regardless of financial circumstances, each CBSP participant will be guaranteed a CBSP scholarship, which will vary in amounts, but typically ranges between $12,500 and $25,000, and are renewable for four years. Families may well be eligible for much more aid, based on financial need. To be considered for the scholarship, simply apply as a chemistry or biochemistry major. No special application is required. To apply for need-based aid, please file the CSS Profile. See your guidance counselor or check in with Financial Aid at WPI (finaid@wpi.edu for details).

Admission

Applicants indicating chemistry or biochemistry as their intended area of study will automatically be considered for the program. Selection by the Scholarship Committee will be based upon the applicant's academic performance in high school, standardized test scores, leadership, extracurricular involvement and community service. In addition to the scholars program, each CBSP Scholar receives an academic merit scholarship. Scholarship amounts will vary, but typically range between $12,500 and $25,000, and are renewable for four years.

2014 SREB-AGEP Doctoral Scholars Program

2014-03-19T02:46:00.002-07:00

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Education and Human Resources provides support for the Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate Program (AGEP). AGEP is committed to the national goal of increasing the numbers of African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders who are underrepresented minority scholars, including those with disabilities entering and completing graduate education and postdoctoral training to levels representative of the available pool of these groups.

Increased participation of underrepresented minority scholars in advanced STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education and training is critical for supporting the development of a diverse professional STEM workforce — especially a diverse STEM faculty who can serve as the intellectual, professional, personal and organizational role models who shape the expectations of future scientists and engineers.

To achieve this long-term commitment, the AGEP program supports the development, implementation, study and dissemination of innovative models and standards of graduate education and postdoctoral training that are designed to improve minority participation, preparation and success.

AGEP projects focus on underrepresented U.S. citizens in STEM graduate education and/or postdoctoral training — and on their preparation for academic STEM careers at all types of institutions of higher education. AGEP’s interests include any or all STEM fields supported by the NSF, including the social, behavioral and economic sciences, as well as multi-, cross- or inter-disciplinary STEM fields.

AGEP encourages community colleges, primarily undergraduate institutions, minority-serving institutions (such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions, and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities), women’s colleges, and institutions primarily serving persons with disabilities to participate in all three types of AGEP projects.

The AGEP program does not make awards to individual students or postdocs to undertake their education or research activities.

AGEP supports the following types of projects:

AGEP-Transformation - Strategic alliances of institutions and organizations to develop, implement and study innovative evidence-based models and standards for STEM graduate education, postdoctoral training, and academic STEM career preparation that eliminate or mitigate negative factors and promote positive practices for scholars from underrepresented minority groups

AGEP-Knowledge Adoption and Translation (AGEP-KAT) - Projects to expand the adoption (or adaptation) of research findings and evidence-based strategies and practices related to the participation and success of these scholars in STEM graduate education, postdoctoral training, and academic STEM careers at all types of institutions of higher education

AGEP-Broadening Participation Research in STEM Education (AGEP-BPR) – Investigator-initiated empirical research projects that seek to create and study new theory-driven models and innovations related to the participation and success of underrepresented minority scholars in STEM graduate education, postdoctoral training, and academic STEM careers at all types of institutions of higher education

SREBs Involvement with AGEP
The SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program implements a grant from the NSF Directorate for Education and Human Resources that provides funds to support the attendance of NSF’s underrepresented minority students at the annual Compact for Faculty Diversity Institute on Teaching and Mentoring.

The Institute is the largest gathering of minority Ph.D. scholars who seek careers in academia. The four-day conference works to reduce the minority faculty shortage by providing the students with the information, skill acquisition, encouragement and support to pursue doctoral degrees and become college professors. It focuses on increasing the percentage of minority scholars who earn doctorates and helps to diverse the pool of qualified candidates for faculty positions at colleges and universities. Through workshops, mentoring and more, it enables doctoral candidates to share insights and survival tips for success in graduate work, build community among themselves and faculty representatives, and enrich their research and teaching strategies.

Through the grant, the NSF and the SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program initiative achieves two broad goals for AGEP scholars: 1) It increases the likelihood of completing a Ph.D. in science, technology, engineering or mathematics; and 2) It encourages and prepares scholars for a careers as successful college faculty members.

By joining forces with SREB, AGEP institutions encourage their minority graduate students nationwide to earn doctoral degrees and join the professoriate.

SREB consults with NSF’s Human Resources Development officials to identify the institutions that will identify and nominate scholars to attend the Institute. Students cannot nominate themselves for attendance to the Institute. The NSF grant covers the major costs to attend the event, including registration fees, travel, hotel, conference meals and conference materials. All arrangements are facilitated by SREB, and no funds are distributed directly to students. source

PhD research at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore 2013

2013-10-18T21:05:00.001-07:00

Nanyang Technological University, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering is offering PhD Position in Graphical Models. Applicants must have Bsc degree in applied statistics, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, or computer engineering. Position is available for Singaporean applicants and it covers salary and tuition.

Graphical models, referred to in various guises as “Markov random fields,” “Bayesian networks,” or “factor graphs,” provides a statistical framework to encapsulate our knowledge of a system and to extract information from incomplete data. With carefully chosen assumptions (e.g., conditional independence of selected random variables), graphical models can be used to derive highly efficient techniques for data analysis; the main idea is to exploit the (existing or imposed) structure in the statistical model. However, graphical models are at present mostly limited to Gaussian or discrete random variables, while many real-life statistical problems involve non-Gaussian random variables. For example, this is the case of all positive quantities (amplitude, energy, magnitude), which are commonplace in physics and earth sciences. Moreover, extreme events such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods, which are of special interest in natural hazards and risk analysis, cannot be described accurately by means of Gaussian distributions.

Consequently, there is a tremendous need for new types of graphical models for dealing with non-Gaussian data. Such graphical models would enable us to solve large-scale real-life inference problems efficiently, while relaxing many simplifying assumptions about the data, and allowing us to better quantify uncertainties and trade-offs in model parameters. To move toward this goal, we will integrate copula theory in the framework of graphical models. Statistical copulas enable us to tie any kind of marginal distributions (Gaussian, non-Gaussian and even non-parametric) together to form a joint distribution.

Through the language of graphical models, we will impose structure on the resulting non-Gaussian joint distributions, so that they can describe the relationship between thousands or even millions of non-Gaussian random variables in an accurate and compact manner. By exploiting the structure in those high-dimensional statistical models, we will derive highly efficient algorithms for i) learning the model parameters; ii) imputing missing data; iii) extrapolation; iv) conditional simulation; v) forecasting; vi) other important statistical tasks. We will derive statistical performance guarantees for those learning and inference algorithms. We will then apply the proposed models to several important problems in earth sciences. We will consider copula graphical models for both “nominal” (non-extremal) data and for extreme events.

Fellowships/Grants to Study in Scandinavia

2013-10-01T11:26:00.003-07:00

2013/14 Fellowships/Grants for US Applicants in Scandinavian Countries

The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) offers fellowships (up to $23,000) and grants (up to $5,000) to individuals to pursue research, study or creative arts projects in one or more Scandinavian country for up to one year. The number of awards varies each year according to total funds available. Awards are made in all fields.

Eligibility
Applicants must have a well-defined research, study or creative arts project that makes a stay in Scandinavia essential.
Applicants must be United States citizens or permanent residents.
Applicants must have completed their undergraduate education by the start of their project in Scandinavia.
Team projects are eligible, but each member must apply as an individual, submitting a separate, fully-documented application.
First priority will be given to applicants who have not previously received an ASF award. Only in exceptional cases will a third award be considered.

Language Requirements
The ASF considers it desirable that all candidates have at least some ability in the language of the host country, even if it is not essential for the execution of the research plan.

For projects that require a command of one or more Scandinavian (or other) languages, candidates should defer application until they have the necessary proficiency.

Terms of Award
Projects should not begin before April 15th, following the decision announcement date.

Grants are considered especially suitable for post-graduate scholars, professionals, and candidates in the arts to carry out research or study visits of one to three months duration.

Fellowships are intended to support a year-long stay. Priority is given to candidates at the graduate level for dissertation-related study or research.

The awards support project-related costs, including maintenance, trans- Atlantic round-trip travel, in-country travel, tuition and fees (where applicable) and materials expenditures (e.g., books, photocopying, art supplies).

ASF awards may require supplementation from other sources, but they should not duplicate the benefits of additional awards (and vice versa). Candidates must notify the ASF if they have received other award offers. The ASF will not provide funds if, in its judgment, a proposal can be carried out without its assistance.

Guidelines
Applicants are urged to arrange their academic or professional affiliations as far in advance as possible. Applicants must secure these placements or affiliations on their own; the ASF cannot assist in establishing contacts.

The ASF requires confirmation of invitation or affiliation from the institution or individuals detailed in the proposal.

Since July and August are traditionally holiday months in Scandinavia, many people may not be available for consultation. Applicants are cautioned to plan their projects accordingly.

Applicants are expected to devote full time to their proposed study or research, and must justify the length of time needed to complete their project.

Awards are based on the application submitted; subsequent changes in the proposal are discouraged and may not be considered.

Limitations
The ASF does not fund the following:
Travel for attendance at professional meetings, conferences, seminars or conventions
Performances or exhibitions
Equipment purchases, including personal computers, bikes, cell phones and software
Research assistants
Institutional overhead costs
Tuition fees from U.S. home institution
Foregone salary
Supplementation of substantial sabbatical support
Support for dependents
Repayment of loans or other personal obligations
Acquisition of language skills
Study in programs especially designed for English-speaking students, or at English-language institutions
Beginning studies in any subject
Retroactive program support
Publication costs
