1.12.08 |

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh

King Fahd university of petroleum and minerals (KFUPM) di saudi arabia saat ini sedang membuka pintu seluas-luasnya bagi mahasiswa muslim yang qualified untuk bergabung dengan KFUPM. KFUPM pada dasarnya adalah universitas yang fokus dibidang science&technology saja. Silahkan melihat profil jurusan-jurusan di www.kfupm.edu.sa. atau kontak saya via japri di faridfad@kfupm.edu.sa.

Mungkin bagi rekan-rekan muslim banyak yang meragukan kualitas universitas di timteng. Untuk memberi gambaran saat ini KFUPM duduk di posisi 320an daftar terbaru THE-QS yang dikeluarkan oleh Times higher education. (silahkan melihat di link berikut: http://www.topuniversities.com/worlduniversityrankings/results/2008/overall_rankings/fullrankings/ ) dan merupakan universitas terbaik di kawasan timteng. Dengan dukungan hampir 40% staf pengajar asing dan finansial yang tak terbatas, KFUPM saat ini mengembangkan banyak research center, yang tentunya menyedot banyak mahasiswa asing baik yang PhD dan Master. Melanjutkan pendidikan di saudi menawarkan banyak manfaat yang tidak mungkin didapatkan dengan mudah kecuali dinegara saudi sendiri seperti kemudahan beribadah dan haji/umroh. Mudah-mudahan ini menjadi pendorong bagi mahasiswa muslim indonesia untuk lebih banyak lagi bergabung lagi dengan mahasiswa manca negara lainnya di KFUPM.

Sebagai informasi saja yang sifatnya tidak resmi : seluruh aplikasi akan diterima dan diproses oleh deanship of graduate studies, jika applicant dinyatakan diterima berdasarkan transkrip yang mereka kirim maka mereka akan diminta untuk menyertakan int'l TOEFL dan GRE. Informasi lebih lanjut silahkan hubungi saya di faridfad@kfupm.edu.sa

Ph.D Positions in Marketing
Tilburg, 5000 LE, (Noord-Brabant), 38 hours per week Tilburg University



Job description
Tilburg University’s Ph.D. programme is among the most selective in Europe. It offers a full-fledged graduate programme, comparable to top schools in the U.S. Coursework and dissertation sum up to a four-year curriculum, divided into the 1-year M.Phil. programme (mostly coursework) and the 3-year Ph.D. programme (mostly dissertation work).

Coursework
Before embarking on their Ph.D., our students first enter a 1-year M.Phil (graduate) programme that prepares them for doing research in marketing. The MPhil programme offers one of the most complete sets of fundamental and advanced courses anywhere in Europe in preparation for a Ph.D., and is taught by professors who are top-notch researchers. Candidates who already possess an M.Phil. degree can apply for direct admission to the dissertation phase.

Requirements
University Graduate
All applicants must have a doctoral degree or be close to completion.

Dissertation
Students who have successfully completed the M.Phil. programme can transfer from M.Phil. to Ph.D. status. The dissertation phase takes three years and covers a specific research domain in quantitative marketing, consumer behaviour, or marketing strategy. While PhD students work in close collaboration with their thesis advisors, they also have plenty of opportunity to interact with the other faculty members.

Organization
Tilburg University
Tilburg University (the Netherlands) is a modern, specialized university. It is well known for its high standards in education and scientific research as well as its good support facilities. The Tilburg University campus offers both tranquillity and connectivity as it is situated in a wooded park, yet only five minutes away from the city centre, main highways, and railways. Located in Tilburg, a mid-sized city of 200,000 inhabitants in the south of the Netherlands, and in close proximity to cities like Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, and London, Tilburg University is situated in the very heart of Europe

The Marketing department is part of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. The Faculty enjoys high rankings for its excellence in education and research. In Europe, it is the current number one research institute in economics and the number three in business. Members of the Marketing department are represented in the boards of all major marketing journals and have a strong publication record (please consult the personal web pages of our staff members on http://www.tilburguniversity.nl/marketing). We are committed to nurture this position further in the future by combining the strengths of three key research areas in marketing: quantitative marketing, consumer behavior, and marketing strategy. A warm collaborative atmosphere, strong team spirit, focus on cross-border research, and a shared ambition to excel are among the key drivers of the Marketing team.

Conditions of employment
Estimated maximum salary per month: eur 3000 - 3500
Employment basis: Temporary for specified period
Duration of the contract: 1 and 3 years
Maximum hours per week: 38

Additional conditions of employment:
The tuition fee for the 1-year M.Phil. programme is €1,597 for European Economic Area (EEA) citizens and €10,272 for non-EEA citizens. Due to generals subsidies, excellent students from non-EEA countries will receive substantial tuition fee waivers of up to €7,812 so that only the legal minimum fee of €2,460 has to be paid. During their M.Phil year, students are responsible for their own sources of income. However, for international students, several scholarships are available of €800 (full) or €400 (partial) net per month on the basis of educational merit. For Dutch students, a number of student assistantships are available. All candidates admitted to the Ph.D. programme will receive a starting salary of approximately €2,400 gross per month.
