2018 - MSC/MBA International Student Scholarship at Curtin University in Australia

The MSC/MBA International Student Scholarship has been developed by Curtin Graduate School of Business to encourage and support international students who have chosen to study the Master of Science (Mineral and Energy Economics) / Master of Business Administration as full-time onshore international students at Curtin Graduate School of Business (CGSB).

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Scholarship at Curtin University in Australia in 2017

A PhD stipend through Curtin University under Dr Matthew Albrecht is available for a student interested in conducting research on animal models of psychiatric disorders. Specifically, the project involves behavioural and electrophysiological assessment of developmental models of schizophrenia. The interaction of the model with other developmental, behavioural, pharmacological or therapeutic interventions will also be investigated. While the project's inception is schizophrenia focussed, the model has relevance for a range of psychiatric disorders including autism, ageing disorders, and mood disorders. A range of opportunities exist for the successful applicant, including possible travel to the US to work with collaborators there.

2018 - MBA International Student Scholarship at Curtin University in Australia

The MBA (Advanced) International Student Scholarship has been developed by Curtin Graduate School of Business to encourage and support international students who have chosen to study the two year Master of Business Administration (Advanced) as full-time onshore international students at the Curtin Graduate School of Business (CGSB).

PhD Scholarship in energy storage materials for concentrating solar thermal power in Australia in 2017

This Research-only PhD is directed towards developing high temperature materials that store thermochemical energy for large-scale solar thermal plants so they can operate 24/7. Metal hydrides can store up to 20 times more thermal energy than current generation molten salt technology. New materials will be synthesised by mechanochemical, gas-solid, and wet-chemical methods. The thermochemical properties of these materials (i.e. enthalpy and entropy) will be determined and they will be tested in new prototype test facilities for gas-solid reactions during thermal cycling, simulating a full-scale solar facility. The technology will be directed towards up-scaling to realise multi-kg test beds. The PhD will be conducted within the Fuels and Energy Technology Institute (FETI) at Curtin University, which is equipped with an array of world-class research equipment and facilities. You will specialise in materials chemistry, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and other characterisation techniques. A 6-month visit to an overseas laboratory will be strongly encouraged during the PhD.

PhD Scholarship in solid-state ion conductors for next-generation batteries

This Research-only PhD is directed towards designing, synthesising, and characterising new ionic conductors to be used as solid-state electrolytes in next-generation batteries. New boron-based inorganic compounds will be synthesised by wet-chemical approaches under inert gas conditions (Schlenk techniques). i.e. MgB₁₀H₁₀ and ZnB₁₂H₁₂. The materials will be characterised to determine their crystal structure, material properties, and ion conductivity. The PhD will be conducted within the Fuels and Energy Technology Institute (FETI) at Curtin University, which is equipped with an array of world-class research equipment and facilities. You will specialise in materials chemistry, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and other characterisation techniques. A 6-month visit to an overseas laboratory will be strongly encouraged during the PhD.

PhD in Health Sciences at Curtin University in Australia in 2017

Two PhD scholarships in the area of improving psychosocial support for cancer patients are currently available for health professionals (nurses and radiation therapists are encouraged to apply). 

For the majority of the scholarship it will be preferable for the candidate to reside in Perth, WA.

National University of Singapore Graduate School for Integrative Sciences and Engineering

The NGS Scholarship is awarded to talented students with an aptitude for innovative, high calibre PhD research.

University of British Columbia Four Year Doctoral Fellowship (4YF) in Canada in 2017

The Four Year Doctoral Fellowship (4YF) program will ensure UBC's best PhD, DMA, and MDPhD students are provided with financial support of at least $18,200 per year plus tuition for up to four years of their Doctoral studies. This program allows UBC to continue to attract and support outstanding domestic and international Doctoral students, and provide those students with stable, base-level funding for their Doctoral studies and research.

Biozentrum Basel International PhD Fellowship Program in Switzerland, 2017

The Biozentrum encourages talented, ambitious and highly motivated young scientists to apply to the Biozentrum Basel International PhD Program. This program offers prestigious PhD fellowships that are awarded on a competitive basis, provide direct entry into the Biozentrum PhD program and offer the fellows  a unique rotation-based selection of a research group of their own choice and a number of other incentives.

2017 Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships

Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarships are offered for citizens of developing Commonwealth countries. These scholarships are funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID), with the aim of contributing to the UK’s international development aims and wider overseas interests, supporting excellence in UK higher education, and sustaining the principles of the Commonwealth.

UNESCO/ISEDC Co-Sponsored Fellowships Programme - 2017

The aim of this fellowships programme is to enhance the capacity-building and human resources development in the area of sustainable and renewable energy sources in developing countries and countries in transition. The training activities in the framework of these fellowships are tenable in specialized institutions in the Russian Federation. The medium of instruction will be English. UNESCO will solicit applications from the developing countries and countries in transition.

In line with the strategy and objectives of the approved UNESCO Programme and Budget for the Fellowships Programme Section, the UNESCO Category II International Center for Sustainable Energy Development (ISEDC) in Moscow (Russian Federation) is offering twenty (20) fellowships of four weeks (4)  duration each in 2017.
