PhD Scholarships Research Fellow in ‘Social Media and the City, Norway

PhD International Scholarships Research Fellow in Social media offer tools for city inhabitants to question, debate and shape the spaces and places in which they live

Study Subject: Social media/digital landscapes
Employer: The Oslo School of Architecture and Design
Scholarships Level: PhD

Scholarships Description: The PhD position is based at the Institute of Urbanism and Landscape and requires attendance there through the three years, including participation in the research education programme. Close supervision will also be a part of the wider study process. This position is within a wider research project that has practice-based research as its mode of inquiry. It requires participation and contribution to shared inquiry in the related research project as well as demanding doctoral level individual research. The position is connected to the OVERLAY part of the project.An article-based doctoral thesis format is preferred. The advertised position is one of two that are connected to the research project YOUrban. Close research collaboration will also be supported, with potential joint supervision between the Institute of Urbanism and the Institute of Design at AHO.


The YOUrban project, funded by the Research Council of Norway, has the design and perfomativity of social media in urban environments as its core concerns. Social media offer tools for city inhabitants to question, debate and shape the spaces and places in which they live. YOUrban investigates tools and means to creating engagement and a sense of ownership, communication and responsibility towards one’s physical, social and cultural world. Design and social media as communication are outputs. The project takes the city of Oslo as its context.

Scholarships Doctoral Fellowships at the Agricultural Engineering research group, Belgium

Ph.D. Scholarships Doctoral in hydrology

Scholarships The application of indicators to enhance functional connectivity subgrid
hydrograph estimation of surface fluxes in distributed hydrological modeling ¢ â, ¬ Â
Agricultural Engineering Institute research group on Earth and Life is
offers doctoral fellowships for a maximum period of 4 years working on development
modeling runoff subgrid distributed hydrological model.


The summary of the research project
modeling sub-grid hydrology in the flow based surface physics,
spatially distributed model is currently based on the use of effective parameters
that can not properly capture the surface runoff sub-grid connectivity. A
connectivity function promises à ¢ â, ¬ â € œ relative contribution of the surface function (RSC)
(Antoine et al, 2009.) – Recently developed and tested on a scale of 1 mA, Â ²
which increases the production of runoff modeling subgrid. This project aims to
further integration of the sub-grid connectivity in a distributed space
hydrological models and to test the scale dependence of RSC functions and businesses
rate of change of contrast from the initial state. This will involve
combination of field / laboratory and numerical experiments.

The Institution
Scholarships The candidate will be hosted in the Agricultural Engineering research group of the
Earth an Life Institute (ELI) of the Université catholique de Louvain in
Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. The Environmental sciences section of ELI offers a
dynamic, multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary research environment dealing with
various topics related to agriculture and the environment. The research activities
of the Agricultural Engineering research group focus on water resources, soil-plant
interactions and soil conservation. Additional information concerning the
Environmental sciences section of the Earth and Life institute can be found at
http://www.uclouvain.be/ , and regarding UCL at http://www.uclouvain.be/ . Collaboration with research groups in The Netherlands and France is expected.

Scholarships Applications
The successful candidate should be a national from a European country and hold a
M.Sc. degree in hydrology, earth or environmental sciences (or related disciplines).
Experience with modelling and a good mathematical background will be an advantage.
The candidate will be attributed a renewable fellowship (€2,300 – 2,570 per month
depending on prior degree) for an initial duration of 15 months. In addition,
he/she will benefit from social security coverage.

USA College Scholarships The Sustainability Science Program at Harvard University

College Scholarships The Sustainability Science Program at Harvard University’s Center for International Development invites applications for resident fellowships in sustainability science for the University’s academic year beginning in September 2011.

Job Description:The fellowship competition is open to advanced doctoral and post-doctoral students, and to mid-career professionals engaged in research or practice to facilitate the design, implementation, and evaluation of effective interventions that promote sustainable development.
Applicants should describe how their work would contribute to “sustainability science,” the emerging field of use-inspired research seeking understanding of the interactions between human and environmental systems as well as the application of such knowledge to sustainability challenges relating to advancing development of agriculture, habitation, energy and materials, health and water while conserving the earth’s life support systems.


Citizens of Italy or developing countries are especially encouraged to apply.
This year some preference will be given to applicants whose work addresses challenges of innovation for sustainable development, with special attention to innovation in the energy, health and agricultural sectors. In addition to general funds available to support this fellowship offering, special funding for the Giorgio Ruffolo Fellowships in Sustainability Science is available to support citizens of Italy or developing countries who are therefore especially encouraged to apply.

The Sustainability Science Program is directed by Professors William Clark and Michael Kremer, and Nancy Dickson. For more information on the fellowships application process see www.cid.harvard.edu/sustsci

USA International Scholarships Applications are due on 1 December 2010.
