Scholastic Distinction (Entrance Citations) for International Students
Field of Study: Open
Value: Variable from $15,000 to $20,000 – Payable over four years
Quantity available: Variable (Entrance or Transfer)

Conditions:
Awarded annually to students on study permit who are entering an undergraduate degree program at the University of Alberta from high school on the basis of superior academic achievement (minimum award average of ~95% or equivalent) in Grades 10, 11, and 12. Receipt of funding for the second, third, and fourth years is contingent upon achieving a minimum GPA of 3.5 on a full normal course load at the University of Alberta each year.

Scholastic Distinction (Transfer Citations) for International Students
Field of Study: Open
Value: Variable from $15,000 to $20,000 – Payable over four years
Quantity available: Variable (Entrance or Transfer)

Conditions:
Awarded annually to postsecondary students transferring into an undergraduate degree program at the University of Alberta based on superior academic achievement (minimum award average of 95% or equivalent) in Grades 10, 11, and 12 and on coursework completed at the postsecondary level. Receipt of funding for the second, third, and fourth years is contingent upon achieving a minimum GPA of 3.5 on a full normal course load at the University of Alberta each year.

Application procedure:
The competition will open in January 2011 and the deadline to apply is March 4, 2011. Postsecondary students do not need to be nominated for this award.

International Entrance Leadership Award
Field of Study: Open
Value: $5,000
Quantity available: Variable
Conditions:
Awarded to student(s) with superior academic achievement entering their first year of an undergraduate degree program and who are studying on a Study Permit. Selection based on leadership qualities as demonstrated by involvement in extracurricular and community activities and academic standing.

Applications are invited for up to two fully funded PhD positions at the newly established Distributed Parameter Systems Chemical Research Laboratory (DPSCRL) in the Department of Chemical & Materials Engineering Depatment, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.

The successful candidates will be enrolled in the PhD Program in Department of Chemical & Materials Engineering at UofA, supervised by Dr. Dubljevic Stevan. Contingent upon satisfactory performance in both research and teaching duties, a total financial support of approximately CDN$ 24-26,000 per annum for a maximum of 4 years (with possible half/one year extension), will be provided to the successful candidate.

A suitable background is Master of Science in Chemical engineering, Process Control, Chemical Engineering with Physics, Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Physics; specically with interest in control, applied mathematics and transport phenomena.

The research project aims at development of distributed process control algorithms which can successfully serve in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical and nanotechnology based industries. In particular, the model predictive control of the distributed parameter systems (tubular reactors, packed-bed reactors, fluid flow systems) is going to be explored from the theoretical and practical controller realizations applicable in the real world applications. In addition, relevant research topics also include the recent advances in development of highly important medical devices such as de brillators and an analysis of transport phenomena in blood fluid flow, multiscale modeling and computation of relevant semiconductor processing conditions for the optimization and control purposes.

Application procedure:
The application shall be written in English and should includethe following items:

• An application of a maximum of one/two A4 pages containing your specic qualications for the position, with explanation of your specic interests in projects
• Copies of education certicates, including grade reports and other documents
• Curriculum Vitae
• Letters of recommendation and name of reference persons (optional)

The application shall be sent electronically as pdf or zipped documents to e-mail:
