International Entrance Leadership Award
Field of Study: Open
Value: $5,000

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.

The aims of the awards are threefold: to facilitate rapid international transfer of cancer research and clinical technology; to allow exchange knowledge and enhance skills in basic, clinical, behavioural, and epidemiological areas of cancer research; and in cancer control and prevention to allow acquisition of up-to-date clinical management, diagnostic, and therapeutic expertise.

Topics for research training are the following:

* Cancer control and prevention (including tobacco control)
* Basic, applied and clinical cancer research
* Epidemiology, cancer registration, public education and behavioural sciences

Topics for clinical training are the following:

* Surgery, radio- and chemotherapy, medical oncology, multidisciplinary cancer care
* Clinical trials
* Detection and diagnosis

The fellowships permit successful candidates to spend time at a suitable host institute abroad. They are particularly aimed at investigators and clinicians working in places where such teaching is not yet available and where the necessary facilities exist to apply and disseminate the new skills upon return.

Fellowships are open to appropriately qualified investigators, pathologists, epidemiologists, cancer registrars, behavioural scientists, tobacco control activists, laboratory technicians, clinicians, and general practicioners, generally in the early stages of their careers; and clinicians who are established in oncology practice.

Who may apply?
Cancer researchers, Clinicians, Public health professionals, other possibilities

How to apply
Fill in the application form of the fellowship you are interested in and return it accordingly.

Experts from any country, who have been invited to teach these specialised skills at institutes abroad, are also eligible to apply (reverse flow ICRETTs).

Candidates who are already physically present at the proposed host institute whilst their applications are under consideration are not eligible for a UICC fellowship.

About 120–150 awards are available per year with an average award value for one-month stipend and travel of US$3,400. The maximum length is three months. Successful candidates usually receive UICC stipend support for up to one month only, while home or host institutes are expected to cover living costs for any additional periods. UICC also contributes to the least expensive international two-way (return) air fare or other appropriate form of transport.

Travel awards do not include costs for internal travel within the home or host countries. These and extra costs for visa, passports, airport taxes, etc. are the responsibility of the fellow. No financial support is provided for dependents.

Application deadline: December 31, 2009

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)
