Graduate Internship Programme in Public Health funded by World Health Organization (WHO), Switzerland 2012



Study Subject(s): Public Health
Course Level: Graduate
Scholarship Provider: WHO
Scholarship can be taken at: Switzerland



You are enrolled in a degree programme in a graduate school (second university degree or higher) both at the time of application and during the internship. You have completed at least three years of full-time studies at a university or equivalent institution towards the completion of a degree. You are at least 20 years old. You possess a first degree in a public health, medical or social field related to the technical work of WHO or a degree in a management-related or administrative field. You are fluent in the working language of the office of assignment.



The World Health Organization (WHO) as the leader in global public health issues is committed to building future leaders in public health. WHO’s Internship Programme offers a wide range of opportunities for students to gain insight in the technical and administrative programmes of WHO. The duration of WHO internships is between six weeks to three months. Exceptionally, internships may be extended up to a maximum of 24 weeks depending on your degree requirements. Unfortunately, WHO internships are not paid and all costs of travel and accommodation are the responsibility of the intern or the sponsoring institution.

ETH Zurich at Research group of Jonathan Levine offers Postdoctoral Position in the field of Ecology in Switzerland

Study Subject(s): Ecology
Course Level: Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: Jonathan Levine at ETH Zurich
Scholarship can be taken at: Switzerland

Eligibility:

Work-related interactions will be in English.
-The research focus is flexible and those with plant, non-plant, or theoretical backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Research in the Levine group focuses on two general problems: (1) the maintenance of species diversity in communities and (2) the determinants of the success and impacts of biological invasions. Current coexistence projects explore how individual variation influences the outcome of competitive interactions, the effect of fluctuating climate on plant coexistence, and the role of plant pathogens in shaping community composition. Current invasions projects explore the role of landscape patchiness in influencing the spread of exotic species, how invasions alter the connectivity among native populations, and the importance of phenology for the outcome of plant invasions. All projects combine empirical approaches with mathematical theory to achieve their aims.

Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne offers Doctorate Position in the field of antennas and/or microwave in Switzerland

Study Subject(s): Adaptive MicroNano Wave Systems
Course Level: PhD
Scholarship Provider: European Space Agency (ESA) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)
Scholarship can be taken at: Switzerland

Eligibility:

-The position is open to outstanding candidates with a background in antennas and/or microwave (knowledge in microfabrication is also welcomed but secondary).
-European citizenship (not necessarily from an ESA member state) or from an ESA associated country (e.g. Canada) is required by the funding program.
-The successful candidate will benefit from excellent infrastructure and a dynamic working environment.

This project, funded by European Space Agency (ESA) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), concerns the design of dynamically reconfigurable millimeter wave devices and antennas, which is becoming a prime need in space-related applications. In this context, we propose to conduct a PhD thesis related to the analysis, design, and implementation of mechanically-reconfigurable millimeter wave devices using microfabricated actuators. This PhD thesis work will comprise both theoretical microwave/antennas and more practical issues related to the implementation and measurement of the designed devices.
