Television Studies)<http://thescholarin donesia.com/ detail/?oid= &fid=&iid= 202>

Applications are invited from highly qualified students across all areas in
American & Canadian Studies and Film & Television Studies, including
literature, history, politics, cultural and performance studies and new
media studies.

Students are expected to apply through the University of Nottingham for
funding from the AHRC (home and EU students) or ORS (*overseas students*).
Fees paid at home/EU rate. Maintenance grant in line with national levels
set by the AHRC, which for 2007/08 are: MA £8,800 and PhD £12,600.

Students are invited to a School Postgraduate Advisory Day on 22 January 2008 or may schedule separate appointments to meet academic staff.

Deadline 29 February 2008
PhD Studentships in Systems
Biology<http://thescholarin donesia.com/ detail/?oid= &fid=&iid= 208>

*Four PhD studentships* are available to mathematically trained students as
part of a major programme in systems biology at the University of
Nottingham
. Each provides the opportunity to work on a multidisciplinary
project developing mathematical models for an important area of biology,
namely:

1. Modelling the effect of maternal diet on the development of
diseases (such as diabetes and obesity) in adult life. Informal enquiries
may be addressed to Professor H Byrne.
2. Predictive modelling of the earliest events in vertebrate embryo
development. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Professor J King.
3. Integrative modelling of angiogenesis and progesterone production
in the ovary. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr M Owen.
4. From model to crop: modelling root development in cereals. Informal
enquiries may be addressed to Professor J King<John.King@Nottingha m.ac.uk>
.

Deadline Friday 29 February 2008

Postgraduate Teaching
Fellowships<http://thescholarin donesia.com/ detail/?oid= &fid=&iid= 204>

The University of Nottingham is one of the UK's leading research
universities and the School of English Studies, awarded a 5A in the 2001
RAE, is one of its top-rated research units. The School is notable for the
range of its postgraduate opportunities and is organised into four broad and
interconnected research groupings: Modern English Literature, Modern English
Language, Medieval Studies and Drama and Performance. All staff are
research-active and involved in advanced teaching and supervision, with many
of them internationally- renowned authorities in their fields.

*The Postgraduate Teaching Fellowships* cover the cost of postgraduate HEU
tuition fees for up to three years, and will in addition pay an annual
maintenance grant of at least £12,600. Whilst all potential students are
eligible to apply for these awards, tuition fees will only be paid at HEU
rates. All subject to satisfactory progress.

Deadline Friday 04 April 200

PhD Studentship in Gas Phase Chemical
Physics<http://thescholarin donesia.com/ detail/?oid= &fid=&iid= 203>

An EPSRC funded PhD studentship associated with a collaborative project
between Professor Katharine Reid and Dr Tim Wright is available at the
University of Nottingham. The project is entitled "Probing intramolecular
dynamical processes in electronically excited states of small aromatic
molecules using picosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging and ZEKE" and
its aim is to use the complementary combination of picosecond time-resolved
velocity-map photoelectron imaging and ZEKE, together with Franck-Condon
calculations, to identify the dark states responsible for excited state
intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) in vibrationally
selected excited state molecules.

Students must have a 2:1 or 1st class MSci or MChem degree in chemistry,
physics or chemical physics. This studentship is available from 1 October
2008 for a period of 3½ years. Due to funding restrictions, full funding is
only available for UK/EU students; international students will require
additional funding.

Deadline Thursday 31 July 2008
