The School of Historical Studies at Newcastle University is pleased to advertise between 2 and 4 Masters Studentship Awards for postgraduate study in Newcastle's Wellcome Trust recognised MA programme in the History of Medicine during the academic year 2008-9. The closing date for applications is 14 April 2008.

The stipends for these awards will be set as follows: EITHER c. £5,000 (including home/EU-fees) for full-time home/EU students; OR £10,000 (including international fees) for non-EU students of outstanding merit. Part time studentships will be awarded to meritorious applicants at c. half the above rate per annum. The studentships are funded by the Northern Centre for the History of Medicine and will be available as of September 2008. The Centre is a partnership between the Universities of Newcastle and Durham, and is supported by the Wellcome Trust.

Study consists mainly of seminars, tutorials and independent learning. The programme provides the necessary research training that will either link into further PhD and postgraduate academic study, or act as a stand alone MA. Candidates who have successfully completed the programme will be eligible to take part in the annual Wellcome Trust PhD studentship competition. The MA also provides the key skills and training for a wide range of careers both within and outside of Higher Education.

Fisher Scholarships: MSc in Mathematical Finance
Department of Economics and School of Mathematics

The University of Birmingham's MSc in Mathematical Finance teaches technically trained graduates - including in Mathematics, Science and Engineering – to apply their quantitative skills to financial analysis. Successful completion of the MSc will qualify students to work in quantitative analysis in City of London

Recent advances in theoretical finance and computing power have moved quantitative analysis from the margins of the financial world to its core. Rigorous quantitative analysis is now involved in everything from the design and pricing of individual assets to the optimisation of whole portfolios. Birmingham’s MSc in Mathematical Finance gives highly motivated, high performing students an opportunity to work in this area. It is taught by two top ranked institutions - its School of Mathematics and its Department of Economics. Students take core courses in financial econometrics, mathematical finance and computational methods. Optional modules allow them to hone further their technical skills (e.g. further mathematical finance) or to broaden their economic understanding (e.g. macroeconomics).

The MSc accepts students on the basis of quality rather than quantity. In 2007-08, only one in six applicants were offered places. Thanks to a generous private gift from Andrew Fisher (Birmingham economics 1982; CEO Towry Law), six Fisher Scholarships covering full tuition fees are available. Applicants with first class degrees are automatically considered for Fisher Scholarships as well as internal scholarships offered by the Economics Department, covering from a quarter to full tuition fees. In both cases, scholarships are awarded to the most able applicants, regardless of nationality. Home, EU and overseas students all pay the same fees. This fee structure ensures that the most qualified applicants are accepted, regardless of nationality.

Prospective students are encouraged to apply online via the MSc's website. Those outside the OECD are encouraged to post any additional material that would help us evaluate their application, including results of standardised assessments such as the GRE and CVs. Non-native speakers of English must attain an IELTS score of 6.5, with no less than 6 in any band. financial institutions, such as banks and hedge funds, or for postgraduate research in mathematical finance.

More information on funding opportunities is provided by the Student Funding Office. The International Office maintains a list of scholarships to which international students may apply.

Applications are accepted on a continuous basis for study to begin in late September.

(law/economics/social sciences/medicine/ethics)

We invite applications to write a PhD as part of a multi-disciplinary
research project focusing on the role of litigation in the shaping of
health policies in low and middle-income countries. Health right
litigation has over the past two decades been on the increase in Latin
America, Asia and Africa. Do such litigation strategies hold a
potential for advancing the human right to health, or do they
reinforce inequalities by primarily benefitting the more resourceful?
The project investigates under what conditions litigants succeed with
health rights claims as well as the effects of such litigation: on
legal developments, on health policies and budgets, and on health
services on the ground (see project outline at
http://www.cmi.no/research/project/?1128=right-to-health-through-litigation).

Legal Studies, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa; Ain o
Salish Kendra (ASK), Bangladesh, and individual researchers in a
number of countries.

Qualifications
The international research team is composed of researchers with a
background in political science; law; economics; anthropology;
medicine and ethics, and applications are invited from all of these
fields. Applicants should have an MA or equivalent university degree.
Academic or practical experience from relevant fields is an advantage
but not a condition.

English is the working language of the project. Candidate must have
sufficient command of the English language to participate in
discussions and write the PhD in English.

To enable synergies with the rest of the research group it is a
condition that the PhD candidate is located in Bergen during the grant
period (except during field work, courses, exchanges etc). The grant
period is 4 years, including one year of work for the CMI as the host
institution. It is a condition that the candidate applies and is
admitted to a relevant doctoral programme within the first six months
of the project period. The salary level for PhD candidates is Ltr.
43-48 (NOK 325 600 - 355 000).

Application requirements
The application should state your motivation for applying for a PhD
within this project and describe aspects of your background and
experience that would be of value for the project, and should include:
• A short (1-3 pages) project proposal describing what you would like
to focus on for the PhD and how you see this within the framework the
broader project.
• A Curriculum Vitae.
• A sample of your writing (optional). This may be English, Norwegian
or Spanish, but if written material is not submitted in English,
language skills must be documented.
• Two referees that can be contacted (with contact details).

Deadline for applications is 15 May 2008.

Applications should preferably be sent electronically to Merete.leby@cmi.no.
Alternatively to postal address: CMI, P.O.Box 6033, N-5892 Bergen,
