Graduate Scholarship for Foreign Excellent Students Program
JUL 01, 2008

In order to provide foreign students with more equal opportunities, the applying method for the 『Graduate Scholarship for Foreign Excellent Students Program』 will be the same as the application process for foreign students and it will be available online at http://admission.snu.ac.kr.

This change will take place starting from the first semester in 2009. While the Office of International Affairs will deal with the overall program, the office in charge of registration will be the office of admissions.

For those who are interested in the 『Graduate Scholarship for Foreign Excellent Students Program』 apply online by 18:00(Thursday) July 31st 2008 and send the original documents to the office of admissions by 18:00(Friday) August 1st 2008.

We plan to place a notice about the eligible countries and universities, the number of students per major and information on financial support online by early July 2008.

Global Change in the Marine Realm

Funded by the Excellence Initiative of the German federal and state
governments this Graduate School aims at educating young scientists
in the field of marine sciences. Within a global-change framework
these encompass the natural sciences as well as the humanities.
Besides becoming experts in their special field the PhD students will
get a solid background across many disciplines of marine sciences.

Structured into four Research Areas

- Ocean and Climate
- Coastal Zone Processes
- Marine Ecology and Biogeochemistry
- Challenges to Society

the Graduate School covers a variety of disciplines. It offers a well-
structured curriculum with a broad research training programme and
the possibility to compete for internal funds.

Operating in close co-operation with the Max Planck Institute for
Marine Microbiology and the Center for Tropical Marine Ecology in

PhD scholarships
Nanophotonics for Terabit Communications (NATEC)
A new research centre focusing on nanophotonics for terabit communications is being established at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The centre is based on donations from a private foundation, VILLUM KANN RASNMUSSEN FONDEN. The NATEC
centre will, in particular, perform research on light-matter
interaction in semiconductor quantum dots and photonic crystal
structures and explore the use of such nanostructured materials for
realizing photonic chips operating in the terabit regime. The centre is
a strongly focused effort involving nanofabrication, experimental
characterisation based on nanoscopy and ultrafast lasers, fundamental
theory including topology optimization, and systems experiments and
will provide ample opportunities for cross-fertilization between these
areas.

The NATEC Centre is headed by Professor Jesper Mørk (jm[ at
]com.dtu.dk) from Department of Photonics Engineering, DTU, and
involves the collaboration with 4 other institutes at DTU: Department
of Micro-and Nanotechnology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Center for Electron Nanoscopy and Danchip.
At the moment we have openings within the following areas of research:
* Growth and characterisation of semiconductor quantum dots and
fabrication of photonic crystal based devices (Kresten Yvind; ky[ at
]com.dtu.dk).
* Characterisation of pulse propagation in photonic crystal
structures and ultrafast dynamics in quantum dots (Mike van der Poel;
mvp[ at ]com.dtu.dk).
* Theory and modelling of light-matter interaction in photonic
crystal structures with quantum dots (Niels Asger Mortensen; nam[ at
]mic.dtu.dk).
* Topology optimization of nanophotonic structures incorporating
effects of nonlinearities and fabrication uncertainties (Ole Sigmund;
sigmund [ at ]mek.dtu.dk).
* Experimental and theoretical investigations of terabit systems
emphasizing noise limitations and information capacity (Palle Jeppesen;
pj[ at ]com.dtu.dk).
We are looking for candidates with a strong track record and with a
good experimental, theoretical and/or computational background in
photonics, electromagnetics or materials engineering and physics. The
annual salary of PhD students starts at approximately 277,000 DKK
(36,900 EUR) + pension.
For further information please contact Jesper Mørk or the persons
mentioned above, or see the full job announcement at the homepage of
DTU. Please send your application as a single pdf file, including CV,
list of publications, certificates of exams and grades, as well as a list of references to:
