Overview
Scholarships in Nanyang Technology University. Training internhsip, Graduate mastern and PhD, Postdoctoral. Available area for biological/biomedical/signal processing / mathematical modelling.
Work Description: Electrical engineering and biology students is encouraged to apply this position.
Topics area:
diagnosis of brain disorders, from EEG and other brain signals (Alzheimer`s disease and epilepsy);
graphical models and nonparametric statistical models for analyzing electrophysiological data (e.g., spike sorting and decoding);
principled statistical models for merging different brain imaging modalities (EEG/MEG/fMRI/DTI/single-unit recordings/etc.).
neural implants for seizure suppression (from control/game theoretic analysis to hardware design);
modeling of epileptic seizures (from abstract network models to detailed biophysical models);
This research is collaborated with RIKEN Brain Science Institute, MIT, MGH, Harvard University.
Besides the above positions, we are also recruiting students and postdocs for projects within the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology (SMART), to be supervised by myself and MIT faculty.
In those projects we apply mathematical engineering to problems in bioengineering and biochemistry, for example:
Bayesian modeling of parasitic life cycle
large-scale graphical models for functional genomics
stochastic modeling and control engineering in the context of tissue generation.

Fondazione Edmund Mach - Istituto Agrario di San Michele all'Adige, Italy invites applications for 3-years research fellowships to support brilliant and highly motivated students to get the PhD title in the fields covered by the Centre.
There is a general empowerment of the student choice when applying to our PhD research projects. Candidates can postulate for one to three specific projects.
Selected candidates are awarded a 3-years fellowship. The scholarship can be additionally extended for up to 1 year, pending the approval of the FEM PhD Fellowships Committee.
Please note that the CRI issues a specific certificate of attendance, but candidates are asked to register at the doctoral school of the University partner of the project or of another University, in order to get the conferral of the PhD degree. The selected candidate has 1 year time from the start of the contract to register at the University doctoral school. If the candidate fails to register within the first year, the scholarship will be interrupted.
Admissions Requirements
Candidates should hold a Master's degree or equivalent in fields relevant to the research projects (e.g. biology, chemistry, ecology, mathematics, environmental science.
