pleased to announce a new $3 million research program on a New Science
of Virtues. This is a multidisciplinary research initiative that seeks
contributions from individuals and from teams of investigators working
within the humanities and the sciences. We support highly original,
scholarly projects that demonstrate promise of a distinctive
contribution to virtue research and have the potential to begin a new
field of interdisciplinary study.

Eligibility: The selection criteria by which the Council will evaluate
proposals and select the winners would focus on the ability of the
proposal to generate ground-breaking results in the study of virtues.
To ascertain the likely success of the researcher, they will also be
expected to consider the scholar's record of achievement, training
history, and the promise of long-term impact.

Amount Awarded: two-year research grants will be awarded ranging from
$50,000 to $300,000.

Indirect Cost Recovery: This scheme is subject to University of Sydney
indirect costs of up to 20%.

Beasiswa Riset: The Human Frontier Science Program- Research Grants

The Human Frontier Science Program- Research Grants


Introduction: The Human Frontier Science Program supports
international collaborations in basic life science research with
emphasis placed on novel, innovative and interdisciplinary approaches
to fundamental investigations. Applications are invited for grants to
support new approaches to understanding complex mechanisms of living
organisms. Preliminary results are not required but applicants are
expected to develop new lines of research distinct from their ongoing
research.

There are two types of grants: New Investigators' Grants are for teams
of scientists who are all within five years of establishing an
independent laboratory and within ten years of obtaining their PhDs.
Program Grants are for teams of scientists at all stages of their
careers, however the participation of younger scientists is especially
encouraged.

Eligibility: The principal applicant must be located in one of the
member countries (includes Australia) but co-investigators can be
located in any country.

Amount Awarded: Grants provide 3 years support for 2 – 4 member teams.
Awards are dependent on team size but can be up to US$450K per annum.

Info Beasiswa S3 2009 : PhD Position in Applied Mathematics at ETH Zurich, Switzerland

website link:
http://www.sam.math.ethz.ch/news/jobs

PhD positions
on sparse tensor approximation methods for high-dimensional transport
problems

The Seminar for Applied Mathematics of ETH Zuerich
(http://www.sam.math.ethz.ch/)offers a full PhD position in the
framework of a project on "Sparse Tensor Approximation Methods for
High-Dimensional Transport Problems".

Sparse tensor product approximations also known as sparse grids have
emerged as a powerful tool for the numerical treatment of
high-dimensional problems in areas as diverse as quantitative finance,
deterministic methods for stochastic PDEs, and data mining. The area
is still rapidly evolving and offers fascinating research
opportunities. Researchers at the Seminar for Applied Mathematics of
ETH Zuerich are among the leaders in the field.

In this project sparse tensor product approximation is to be explored
as a novel approach to kinetic equations, see
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jcp.2008. 02.025 . The PhD project will
have a focus on efficient algorithms and data structures, which is
an exciting challenge in its own right. The PhD work will be jointly
supervised by Prof. C. Schwab and Prof. R. Hiptmair.

The positions is temporary and limited to 3-4 years after a three
month period of probation. The holder will be regular ETH research
staff and receive a gross salary of roughly 66,000 Swiss Francs (about
EUR 41.000, USD 55.000). The positions will involve teaching of
tutorial lectures, supervision of undergraduate students, and grading
of examinations equivalent to a total workload of about 10h/week.

Candidates must have a master or diploma degree in mathematics, a
(computational) engineering discipline, or in (computational) science.
Their education record should indicate strong interest and exceptional
skills in computer simulation as well as familiarity with important
numerical methods for the approximate solution partial differential
equations (finite elements, finite volumes, etc.). Experience with
object oriented programming in C++ is essential.

Knowledge of German is not required, but the candidates must possess
good communication skills and should be fluent in English, both oral
and in writing.

Applications should be sent electronically (as PDF files) to Ms.
Ballarin (ballarin@sam. math.ethz. ch). They must include
* a curriculum vita complete with date of birth and family status
* a complete record of academic education including grades and all
achievements.
* abstracts of theses (master etc.) and descriptions of projects done
before graduation. (include theses, reports and papers, if possible)
* Complete addresses (including e-mail) of two established academic
researchers who can give an assessment of the candidate's skills.

Deadline: March 31, 2009 (position may be filled on a first come first
served basis)
