The Nordic Africa Institute Scholarships for PhD 2011

Phd Philosophy The purpose of this scholarship is to offer a PhD candidate links to existing research in the Nordic Africa Institute and to provide access to resources in institutions, such as the NAI library with a large collection of literature on contemporary Africa (books, magazines, newspapers, government publications).

Who can apply?

Phd Philosophy candidate at the university and research centers in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) provided a doctorate in social sciences and humanities, is a qualified candidate, regardless of nationality.

PhD Research:

Phd Philosophy research must relate to current research at the Institute. Research at the Institute is organized into broad thematic clusters. http://www.callforpapersinfo.com
http://thescholarshipprogramme.com The cluster is currently Confl ict, Security and Democratic Transformation, Dynamics of Urban, Rural and Agrarian Change, Property and Resources, and Globalization, Trade and Regional Integration. The Phd Philosophy application must indicate what cluster (s) PhD candidate intends to link with during his time as a scholarship holder and PhD research in any manner related to the research cluster (s).

PhD Philosophy Position in the Field of Superconducting Quantum Circuits

PhD Philosophy Experimental and theoretical investigation of artificial superconducting two-level system has been developed as a field, rich in interesting in the context of quantum computing and cryptography. Far more interesting, like the design of artificial two-level quantum systems (also known as quantum bits) can be used to study the fundamental physics in fields ranging from quantum optics for solid-state physics in regimes not previously accessible. In this context we want to solve one of the major unresolved issues in solid-state physics: the microscopic origin of complex nature of critical High Temperature Superconductor (HTS). Despite various attempts to explain the true nature of superconductivity in these materials interesting, still remains one of the most "burn" topic in condensed matter physics. It is believed that the excitations which holds the secrets of nature. This PhD Philosophy project aims for a deeper understanding of quantum circuitries are made of high critical temperature superconductors (HTS) YBa2Cu3O7-x with potential applications ranging from quantum computing to study solid-state physics in regimes not previously accessible.http://www.callforpapersinfo.com
http://thescholarshipprogramme.com Materials will focus on specific decoherence effects come from the dielectric involved in the fabrication process and the superconductor itself. In the latter case the project will be devoted to experimental investigations of low temperature excitation spectrum of HTS by using two-level quantum system. We will use HTS Josephson junction, acting as the system, embedded in a two-level superconducting resonator. This PhD Philosophy study will provide detailed information on quasiparticle spectrum of HTS, provides access to issues that have not been resolved on the nature of superconductivity in these materials.

PhD Philosophy Scholarship in School of Built & Natural Environment

This PhD Philosophy study will conduct studies on these issues and recommend improvements to off-set the environmental impact. This study will investigate the leachate from the landfill was chosen and consider the impact on water catchment areas with consideration to ground water and surface water.
This PhD Philosophy project will use a model approach (case study of a selected landfill in water catchment areas) in studying the impact in connection with certain parameters.

PhD Philosophy Applicants must have, or expect to receive a qualification equivalent to high-grade honors English.
