PhD Scholarship in Electronic Engineering, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
Background
The Electronic Instrumentation research group at Victoria University of Wellington was recently awarded funds for the development of new Nuclear Magnetic Resonance technologies. We are now looking for a suitable PhD student to assist with this work. The research grant provides a three year NZ $27,000 per annum tax free scholarship as well as tuition fees.
The Project
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is a relatively new sensing technology that has yet to be applied to the everyday world. One of the barriers to adoption is the complexity of the method and the sophistication, size and cost of the supporting electronics. The aim of this project is to continue the development of compact high performance systems by taking advantage of new FPGA, sampling and signal processing technologies. More specifically we wish to design a high performance band-pass sampling digital NMR receiver where traditional RF techniques are replaced by new signal processing methods. The student will be required to research and design stable and low jitter frequency references for wide band analogue to digital conversion and to research, design, model and implement optimal digital receiver architectures for NMR applications. The work will be undertaken within the School of Engineering and Computer Science but with close collaboration with Professor Paul Callaghan’s NMR group in the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences and Magritek Ltd.

Pakistani business schools offering MBA for IT people
i have applied for LUMS MBA programm but i am not sure if i will be getting admission this year or not.My survey of MBA institues convinced me to choose LUMS as my first choice but now i m in a dangling situation.I have seen LSE MBA programmes but i think that is good only for economics people and i with iT background can not relate MBA in marketing and finance with my current field whereas LUMS offers whole set of IT manamagement courses.LSE has no good courses on soft skills ,personality building no mathematics and analysis courses .all courses revolve around economics or finance or maketing.so my question is what other good institutes in pakistan have IT management discipline in their MBA program.and wud i b able to pass LSE interview with no economics background.also if any one can help about the LSE entry test questions.is it exactly like GMAT or LMAT or it has some different pattern.also if any one can share his interview experience at LSE to get some idea which set of skills they expect in candidates.
Switzerland : PhD Position in Medical Image Analysis, University of Basel

http://miac. unibas.ch/ miac/index. php?id=58
PhD Student Position in Medical Image Analysis
“Soft-Tissue Segmentation”
Within the scope of the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) for Computer Aided and Image Guided Interventions (CO-ME) the Medical Image Analysis Center (MIAC) at the University of Basel is developing methods to segment facial soft tissue.
The available challenging PhD position is part of a larger multidisciplinary project in the field of cranio maxillo facial (CMF) surgery planning. The project involves both theoretical and applied research aspects, and will be performed in close collaboration with researchers of multiple Universities in Switzerland and the MR physics group at the University Hospital in Basel in particular.
The state-of-the- art methods for segmenting anatomical structures in the head for CMF surgery planning require lot of manual intervention and is a time-consuming task. The focus of this work will thus be on automising this tedious manual segmentation task as much as possible. The problem will be addressed by using a model-based segmentation approach combined with optimised MR sequences. These MR sequences are developed in close collaboration with a PhD student from the MR physics group.
This project will be supported by top clinicians in the area. The candidate must have strong communication skills, the ability to combine basic research activities with the needs of clinicians and be willing to work in a clinical environment.
Annemarie Schimmel Scholarhip for Women
The Scholarship was established in honour of Professor Annemarie Schimmel to commemorate her great contribution to culture and poetry in Pakistan and her role as a dedicated woman scholar. It offers the opportunity to do post-graduate study in the United Kingdom to a woman who is committed to make a genuine contribution to her chosen field on her return to Pakistan.
Eligibility
Schimmel scholars will be chosen for their ability and commitment without discrimination as to religion, caste or creed. Candidates must have a professional degree or they should have completed 16 years of education in a relevant discipline. They must be citizens of Pakistan and have a declared intention to return and pursue a career in Pakistan. Those having a minimum 2 year professional work experience will be given preference. There is no restriction on age, but preference will be given to candidates between the ages of 25 and 40. A genuine need for financial assistance is an essential condition of the scholarship. The candidates must supply adequate evidence that they would not be able to study abroad without financial assistance. Candidates must bear the expenses of air travel. While not a requirement, preference will be given to those candidates who have secured admission to a programme of study at a recognized institution of their choice in the United Kingdom. In the absence of sufficiently qualified candidates, the scholarship committee reserves the right to make no nomination.
The Scholarship has a reputation for absolute fairness and is extremely generous. It allows candidates to choose from the best and most prestigious institutions of higher learning in Britain. It covers the full cost of tuition and basic living expenses. The selection is based completely on merit but a major consideration is given to the need of that particular degree for Pakistan and the commitment of the scholar to return and serve here.
Selection will not be restricted to any subject. Preference will be given to traditional humanities or sciences and also to humanitarian fields, such as public health, special education and ancillary medical fields, e.g. physiotherapy and radiography. Studies in economic development, social sciences and modular courses in various disciplines will also be considered. Subjects excluded are journalism, business, management, IT, media, and gender/women’s studies. Candidates wishing to pursue higher learning in areas related to Annemarie Schimmel’s scholarship on Islam are encouraged to apply. The course of study can be purely academic or could involve practical training. Prospective candidates are strongly urged to acquire basic computer literacy and word processing skills.
The Schimmel Scholarship is awarded for one academic year (session starting Sept/Oct. 2010) for a Master’s degree at recognized institutions of higher education in the UK. Doctoral candidates are not eligible.
