Erasmus Mundus: European Master

2010-08-29T06:54:00.000-07:00

Erasmus Mundus: European Master in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis.

The European Master in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Policy Analysis aims at providing a high quality education in designing and assessing public policies targeted to the agricultural and food sector as well as the rural environment. This European Master responds to the increasing need to better understand and anticipate the various and often complex socio-economic and environmental effects of these policies either in a functioning market economy as in the European Union or in economies in a development or transition phase.

The European Master offers a two-year academic curriculum with integrated and advanced theoretical, methodological and empirical courses in economics and quantitative methods as well as in agricultural, food and environmental sciences, agricultural and trade policy, environmental and natural resource policy, rural development policy and agribusiness management and market analysis. To connect theory and methodology to practice, a problem solving project is developed and presented as a master thesis at the end of the two-year curriculum.

The European Master is jointly organised by five leading European educational and research institutions: the Corvinius University of Budapest (CUB) in Hungary, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Sweden, the Rheinische-Friedrich-Wilhelms Universität Bonn (UBonn) in Germany, the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) in Belgium and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Spain. These five partner universities are recognised worldwide for the quality of their educational programme and scientific achievements in agricultural, environmental and economic sciences.

The required 120 ECTS credit points are structured into three blocks: a minimum of two semesters of studies (55 ECTS) at a first partner university, as well as two semesters of studies (60 ECTS) at a second partner university, and two joint summer schools (5 ECTS) at partner universities. The language of instruction and examination is English for most of the courses in three partner universities while it is either French at UCL or Spanish at UPC for most of the courses. The Master degree is awarded as a double degree from the two home and host universities.

Recipients of this European Master are qualified to understand the fundamentals of public policies oriented to the agricultural and food sector, rural areas and natural resources, develop and use quantitative methods to perform rigorous socio-economic and environmental assessment of these public policies, and provide sound and relevant policy recommendations for a more sustainable development of this sector and rural areas.

They are qualified to take responsibilities in international, national and regional agencies, non-governmental organisations, consultancy firms, professional organisations and private companies.

Main area: Social sciences (including economics), cultural sciences
Second area: Agricultural and forestry sciences
Third area: Geography, earth and environmental studies

Duration in months: 24 months
Starting month of the Masters Course: September
Applications for admission Erasmus Mundus (EM) scholarships for the 2011-12 academic year from September 1, 2010 to January 10, 2011.

TOEFL® Test – Tips To Take You To The Top!

2010-03-29T04:25:00.000-07:00

The TOEFL® test is the most widely accepted English-language test in the world (more than 7,300 institutions in 130 countries including the U.K., U.S. and Canada). No matter where you want to study, the TOEFL test can help get you there. The test is divided into four sections – Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.

Here are some pointers and resources to help you get on your way to score well for the test.

1.Find something interesting to read and listen to, then practice speaking and writing about it.
Listen to Podcasts, recorded lectures – check the website of your favorite University. Go to news websites and read up on your favorite subjects on popular. Tell a friend or family member about what you learned.

2.Work with a speaking partner, preferably with a native speaker of English or try an online video chat! The more opportunity you have to speak the language, the more familiar you will become.

3.Take on the role of a great journalist: Take good notes and use them to make summaries.

4.Make vocabulary flash cards and pretend you are a contestant on a vocabulary quiz show. Carry the flash cards with you often. They are a great way to make a bus ride go by quickly.

5.Visit TOEFL-TV on YouTube for great resources and tips from English language instructors and students that have taken the TOEFL test.

6. Reading Tips
Practice summarizing and paraphrasing texts. Use charts and outlines to organize the ideas in a text. Practice speed reading techniques. Practice reading (and answering questions) on a computer screen. Expand your vocabulary with daily-use vocabulary cards.

7. Listening Tips
* Listen for basic information – did you comprehend the main idea, major points and important details?
* Listen for “pragmatic” understanding – Can you recognize a speaker’s attitude? What is the purpose of the speech? What is their role? Are they an authority or are they a passive part of the conversation?
* Listen for connecting and synthesizing – Can you understand the relationship between ideas? Compare and contrast. Determine the cause and effect.

8. Speaking Tips
* Read aloud a short article from a newspaper, campus newspaper, magazine, textbook, or the Internet. Write down 2 – 3 questions about the article.
* With a speaking partner – Answer the questions. Outline the main points of the article. Give a one-minute oral summary of the article. Express your opinion about it. If there is a problem discussed, give the solution.
* Speaking Tips – Pronunciation
* Speak in s-l-o-w motion. You could imitate American or British intonation and rhythm patterns. You could also work on problematic sounds, such as:
* Find an accent reduction coach
* Your pronunciation doesn’t have to be perfect, but native speakers should be able to understand you.
*Listen for connecting and synthesizing – Can you understand the relationship between ideas? Compare and contrast. Determine the cause and effect.

9. Writing Tips
Find a writing buddy who can give you feedback. Read an article and find listening material on the same topic. Write a summary of each. Explain the ways they are similar and the ways they are different.

10. Combine all your skills!
Find listening and reading materials on the same topic from the library or Internet (e.g., news websites such as ndtv.com). Take notes or create outlines on each. Give a one-minute oral summary of each.

Explain how the two relate in a short written response (150 – 225 words). Take notes or create outlines on each. Give a one-minute speech about the same.

Postdoctoral Position in Ocean Modelling – Climate Change Downscaling

2009-08-02T22:54:00.000-07:00

Postdoctoral Position in Ocean Modelling – Climate Change Downscaling- Application Deadline: 15 August, 2009

Appointment will be for a 12-month duration and may start October 1st, 2009 or later. Annual income will be 24,000 Euros.

We invite applications from talented and motivated candidates interested in pursuing their research in coastal oceanography and meteorology, with focus in downscaling global climate change scenarios in relation with regional environmental and ecosystems evolutions. The successful applicants will participate in a new project funded by the European Community.

The European FP7 MEECE (Marine Ecosystem Evolution in a Changing Environment) project will address global change, the result of natural and anthropogenically induced climate change impacts upon the structure and function of marine ecosystems via a number of abiotic and biotic drivers. The specific goals of MEECE are :

• To improve the knowledge base on marine ecosystems and their response to climate and anthropogenic driving forces ;
• To develop innovative predictive management tools and strategies to resolve the dynamic interactions of the global change driver, i.e. changes in ocean circulation, climate, ocean acidification, pollution, overfishing and alien invasive species on the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems.

To achieve these goals, MEECE will employ a combination of data synthesis, numerical simulations and targeted experimentation. An increase in the knowledge base and predictive capacities regarding the influence of the drivers is central to the successful fulfillment of the goals of the European Marine Stategy. The offered post-doctoral position is part of this MEECE project led by Dr Icarus Allen at Plymouth Marine Laboratory, United Kingdom, which will extend from late 2008 till late 2012. Within the “Ecosystem response to climate scale drivers” Work Package, the candidate will have to perform a dynamical downscaling of the regional climate in the ocean domain that includes the Benguela upwelling area. The common methodology in dynamical regional climate downscaling employs a continuous integration of a limited-area model. The study will particularly focus on the regional impact of climate change on the oceanic component of the system. Nonetheless, due to the common low resolution used in climate scenarios runs and the highly dependency of the coastal upwelling dynamics to synoptic-scale atmospheric forcings, we will implement the downscaling technique to both, the atmosphere and ocean components of the climate system.

We will start with the realization of forced atmospheric and oceanic simulations. Coupled air-sea downscaling experiments could be implemented as final operational step of the work in collaboration. In this study we will use the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to dynamically downscale the atmosphere. The ROMS ocean physical model will be used to simulate the hydrodynamics and thermal structure. The SAfE (South AFrican Experiment) configuration (1/4°) in which is embedded a refined zoom (1/12°) of the Benguela upwelling system will be run in scenarios (Penven et al. 2006, Rouault et al. 2009). The post-doctoral work will be intended to develop the best « downscaling » techniques to regionalize the climate change signal simulated by the IPCC AR4 climate models. Preliminary tests have been already performed and the following on approaches will be discussed with the successful candidate.

Here are some questions to be addressed :
• What are the consequences of the climate changes on the physical behaviour of the regional atmosphere ?
• What is the impact on the open-ocean and local upwelling system ?
• What is the sensitivity to climate change for the different components of the system and their sensitivity to the applied downscaling method ?

A recent PhD in meteorology, atmospheric sciences, physical oceanography or a related field is required. The applicant should have a strong background in geophysical fluid dynamics and numerical modelling.

Letters of application, a C.V., a short statement of research interests and the name of two referees should be sent by 15 August, 2009 to sabrina.speich@univ-brest.fr (S. Speich, Laboratoire de Physique des Oceans (LPO), UMR6523 CNRS/IFREMER/IRD/UBO, http://www.ifremer.fr/lpo/speich, Université de Bretagne Occidentale -UFR Sciences, 6, av Le Gorgeu C.S. 93837, 29238 Brest Cedex 3 France).

Teaching Assistantship in Environmental and Plant Biology, Ohio University, USA

2009-07-04T07:07:00.000-07:00

A teaching assistantship is available in the Department of Environmental and Plant Biology, Ohio University, to study the genetic control of reproductive morphological diversity in Papaveraceae. The project investigates links between inflorescence architecture and flower symmetry in the morphologically diverse Papaveraceae. Poppies
and fumitories represent a new model lineage at the base of the eudicots. We have identified homologs of FLORICAULA, FRUITFULL, TERMINAL FLOWER1, and CYCLOIDEA genes in order to study their role in inflorescence determinacy, effloration sequence, and flower symmetry in a set of key species.

The project involves (i) cloning and phylogenetic characterization of additional genes from a broader sampling of species, (ii) a comparative morphological study of inflorescence and flower development, (iii) the characterization of gene expression patterns using RT-PCR and in situ hybridization, and (iv) phenotypic analyses of effects of modulated expression using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. As part of this
effort, VIGS will be adapted to fumitory species.

Candidates for this position should have a strong interest in plant development and evolution, and demonstrable experience in some of the methods mentioned. The ability to work independently and self- motivated is essential. The student will join a lab with vibrant research spanning from the organismal to the molecular level.

Please send a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, GRE scores, a statement of research experience that also explains what specifically attracts you to this particular project, and the names and contact information of at least two scientists available for reference. Please send your application and informal inquiries to Dr. Stefan Gleissberg (gleissbe-at-ohio.edu). Review of applications will start July 31, 2009, and continue until the position is filled. Possible start dates are September 2009 or January 2010.

Marie Curie International Fellowships

2009-03-26T23:03:00.000-07:00

The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Research has published three calls for proposals under the ‘People’ programme of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). Intended to provide support for training and career development of researchers, the calls include:

* Intra-European Fellowships (IEF)
* International Outgoing Fellowships (IOF)
* International Incoming Fellowships (IIF)
The Intra-European Fellowship scheme targets experienced researchers seeking to enhance their individual competence and acquire new skills at an interdisciplinary level. Under certain conditions, European nationals established in Australia are eligible to conduct the project in a host European institution.

International Outgoing Fellowships aim to reinforce the international dimension of European researchers by giving them the opportunity to work in a high-level research organisation in a third country. The Marie Curie IOF provides financial support to a European fellow completing a research and training project for 1 or 2 years (typically 18 months) in an Australian institution then returning to the European host institution for 12 months. The fellowship covers a stipend for the duration of the project, overheads for the project administration, travel and limited funding for other research activities.

The International Incoming Fellowship scheme is addressed at top-class researchers active in third countries, who would like to work on research projects and share their knowledge with colleagues in Europe. Ultimately, the goal is to develop mutually beneficial research cooperation between Europe and third countries. The Marie Curie IIF provides financial support to an Australian fellow taking a research and training project to an host institution in Europe for 1 to 2 years. The fellowship covers a stipend for the duration of the project, overheads for the project administration, travel and limited funding for other research activities.

Important to consider:
• All disciplines of research are covered by the scheme.
• Success rates for MCIOF was of 25% during last round, and for MCIIF was 21% during the 2008 round (26% for fellows going to Australia) but varies across disciplinary panel.
• The schemes are open to researchers at all career stages. The candidate needs to justify of 4 years of research experience or a doctorate degree at the time of submission.
• The new Marie Curie website is a good source of information about the scheme: cordis.europa.eu/fp7/mariecurieactions.
