INTERNATIONAL PHD PROGRAM FELLOWSHIPS BSC_LA CAIXA_SEVERO OCHOA (Call 2015)
Since 1982, the "la Caixa" Foundation has offered several fellowship
programmes aimed at allowing students to undertake postgraduate studies
in Spain and abroad. Over the years, thousands of students have advanced
their training thanks to "la Caixa" Foundation fellowship. In 2008, the
"la Caixa" Foundation launched a new programme addressed to national and
international students. As part of this programme, each year fellowships
are awarded to students who wish to complete work toward their doctoral
degrees.
Under a collaborative Framework Agreement, the Ministry of Economy and
Competitiveness and the "la Caixa" Foundation continue the fellowship
programme with a 3rd call. This programme aims to help the recruitment
of talented students from across the world by doing their doctoral
thesis work in one of the accredited "Severo Ochoa" centers of
excellence. The objective of this joint activity is to boost the
research capacity of the best research institutions in Spain. For this
year, the "la Caixa" Foundation has selected the Barcelona
Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) to offer 2 grants more for the academic
year 2015-2016 addressed to PhD students. This grant is renewable up to
four years.
BSC-CNS is looking for young scientists from the national and
international community who wish to do their PhD in a stimulating
environment, rich in technological resources and campus life. We
encourage applications from highly motivated engineers and computer
scientists with outstanding qualifications. Successful candidates will
join research groups with top-level scientists and will carry out their
research in cutting-edge areas of Computer Sciences, Life Sciences,
Earth Sciences and Computer Applications in Sciences and Engineering.
Requirements and selection criteria:
The programme is addressed to students (european and international) who
have completed one of the following options by September 2015:
a) studies that lead to an official Spanish (or from another country of
European higher Education Area) university degree in Computer Sciences,
Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Sciences or related areas and
that have 300 credits (ECTS) of an official university degree, of which
at least 60 must correspond to master level.
b) degree in a non-Spanish university not adapted to the European Higher
Education Area with access to doctoral studies in Computer Sciences,
Biology, Biochemistry, Physics, Environmental Sciences or related areas.
Applicants should not be PhD students at BSC-CNS. Candidates are
selected exclusively on merit, on the basis of their curricula. The
academic grades and curricula of applicants are evaluated, as well as
recommendation and motivation letters. No selection criteria for
positive or negative discrimination are applied.
Skills Specifications:
. Ability to take initiative, prioritize and work under set deadlines
and pressure
. Ability to work independently and as part of a team
. Excellent written and verbal communication skills
. High level of English
. Skills in programming
Interested candidates, please submit:
. Curriculum vitae specifying education and experience
. A motivation letter
. A scanned copy of the student's certified Academic Record.
. Two recommendation letters from university lecturers or scientists
with who the applicant has studied or worked.
Please submit applications on the link below:

2015 IARC Summer School
Arctic in a warming climate: Connection to vegetation, permafrost and hydrology
Length: 26 May?9 June 2015 (14 days)
Location: Fairbanks and road-accessible sub-Arctic and Arctic regions
For: Students and early-career scientists in hydrology, permafrost, vegetation science, and/or ecosystem studies
Coordinator: IARC
Funding: National Science Foundation, UAF Institute of Arctic Biology, Alaska Climate Science Center
Application deadline: 16 February 2015
About the summer school
Course will provide an overview of the controls of ecosystem variability in northern Alaska, from Alaska's Interior to the Arctic, and an illustration of the interplay between data collection and modeling. Students will experience first-hand the landscapes and research along one of the most remote and scenic highways in North America. Major themes will include permafrost and ecosystem variation along the Arctic climate gradient, hydrologic processes, and engineering solutions.
Climate combines with topography and disturbance to produce a wide variety of ecosystems in this area, from boreal forest to coastal tundra. The ecosystems are changing and these changes can, in turn, affect climate through feedbacks involving changes in albedo, permafrost, hydrology, gas exchanges with the atmosphere, and other processes.
Activities
Lectures that describe the current state of knowledge, disciplinary linkages, and research gaps in the fields of:
Permafrost
Vegetation science
Hydrologic science
Related fields (engineering, biology, ecosystem modeling, disturbance, climate modeling, social sciences)
Fieldwork
Mini?projects to be done in collaboration with summer school instructors. Interdisciplinary projects will explore topics in hydrology, permafrost and vegetation science. Student-conducted research will present their findings at the final meeting.
Apply for the 2015 Summer School
IARC will issue partial travel grants for travel to/from Fairbanks, with amounts determined through an application process. Your application package should include your:
CV
Letter of interest, including estimates for your travel expenses to/from Fairbanks
Letter of support from your supervisor
