Master Degrees Progams: Master of Public Policy, NUS
The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy is a graduate school of the
National University of Singapore consistently ranked amongst the top 30
universities in the world by QS World University Rankings 2008. The School
aims to educate, train and generate ideas amongst a new generation of
globally minded policymakers and leaders from the public and private
sectors. Our students are entrepreneurs, public sector officials,
ambassadors, senators, editors, and aspiring leaders who are working on the
ground to make a difference.
The School currently attracts over 300 outstanding candidates from more than
50 countries, including China, India, USA and South East Asia and
Europe. These students come from diverse backgrounds in the public and
private sector.
The School also attracts global luminaries including former Prime Minister
of Britain, Tony Blair, President of World Bank Robert B. Zoellick, Nobel
Laureate Amartya Sen amongst others.
Under the leadership of Dean Kishore Mahbubani, a world renowned public
intellectual and former UN Ambassador from Singapore, the school has made a
mark globally.
The LKY School is the first Asian School to be admitted into the prestigious
Global Public Policy Network (GPPN) set up by Columbia University’s School
of International & Public Affairs (SIPA), the London School of Economics &
Political Science (LSE) and the Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris
(Sciences Po). The school offers its students a unique opportunity to gain a
double Masters degree with one of its GPPN partners. We also have a long
standing partnership with the Harvard Kennedy School.
*Master in Public Administration *
The MPA programme is a one-year degree for mid-career professionals with
more than five years of professional experience. The MPA is designed to
enhance the effectiveness of mid-career professionals from the public,
private and non-profit sectors in addressing complex, multidimensional
policy issues. The MPA programme places great emphasis on management and
decision-making.
*Master in Public Policy *
The MPP programme is a two-year degree for young professionals with 1-5
years of experience. Students learn the fundamental skills of public policy
analysis from the disciplines of politics, economics, and public management.
They also have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of a specific
area by electing to focus their studies on one of five specializations:
Development Studies; Economic Policy and Analysis; International Relations
and Security Studies; Social and Environmental Policy; and Public Management
and Governance. Finally to provide an element of direct practical
experience, MPP students undertake a public policy or management study (the
Policy Analysis Exercise) for a client in the public, private or non-profit
sector.
*Double Degree Opportunities at Columbia University, LSE or Sciences Po*
The MPP programme also offers the invaluable opportunity for qualifying
students to obtain a double degree from the LKY School as well as from one
of our partner institutes which include Columbia University’s School of
International and Public Affairs (SIPA), London School of Economics and
Political Science (LSE), and Institut d’Etudes Politiques de Paris
(Sciences Po). Students spend one year in Singapore and the second year in
New York, London or Paris, and quite often the school provides full-funding
for the students to study there.
*Fully funded scholarships are available to outstanding candidates.
More information, along with programme application booklets, are available
online at http://www.lkyspp. nus.edu.sg/. The deadline for the MPP and MPA
applications with scholarship is 31 January 2010 for intake in July 2010.

Doctoral Programs: 11 PhD Fellowships in SEACOT project
Surface Engineering for Antifouling -
Coordinated Advanced Training (SEACOAT)
This is a temporary web page intended to support recruitment to the network. A more detailed web-site will be running soon
Positions available:
11 Early Stage Researcher (PhD) Fellowships
6 Experienced Researcher (post-doc) Fellowships
Applications are invited for Early Stage Researcher Fellowships (leading to a PhD) and Experienced Researcher Fellowships (post-docs) funded through a Marie Curie Initial Training Network. Most positions are due to start on March 1st 2010 or soon thereafter.
The SEACOAT Network:
The main research goal of the project is to improve understanding of biointerfacial processes involved in the colonisation of surfaces by marine fouling organisms. This will inform the future development of new, environmentally-benign materials and coatings for the practical control of marine biofouling.
Our principal objective is to discover which nano- and micro-scale physico-chemical properties of surfaces influence the adhesion of fouling organisms, through the use of surface engineering technologies to fabricate coatings that vary systematically in relevant surface properties, and length scales.
We will use advanced surface analytical methods to characterise test surfaces for relevant physico-chemical surface properties and how these change after immersion. Parallel adhesion bioassays using a range of representative marine organisms will test intrinsic antifouling properties of surfaces.
Fellows’ individual projects will be integrated into one comprehensive research and training network which is strongly based on exchange and transfers between academia and industry. The network will also provide fellows with network-wide training activities (4 Advanced Training Courses, an international Workshop/symposium). All fellows are expected to collaborate with other Partners in the Consortium through secondments and visits.

PhD opportunity in Geodynamics at the Bayerisches Geoinstitut (Bayreuth, Germany)
The Bayerisches Geoinstitute offers a PhD position in the field of Geodynamics.
The focus of the research will be on the effect of continental lids on the efficiency of mantle convective stirring.
Interpreting surface geochemical data requires the understanding of the mechanisms that can preserve or erase chemical heterogeneities over geological times. The effect of continental lids is known to have a first order impact on mantle convective dynamics and heat transfer. In particular it has be shown that the presence of continents influences the convective wavelength and the time dependency of the mantle motions. However the consequences on the efficiency of convective stirring have not been quantified and studied systematically. This will be the main objective of this thesis, using 2D and 3D numerical modeling of mantle convective motions.
Applicants should hold a master degree in Physics, Geophysics or equivalent. We are seeking for candidates with a solid background in fluid dynamics and heat transfer, knowledge in numerical methods and in one or more programming language (Fortran , C …).
Decent computational facilities are available at the Bayerisches Geoinstitute (www.bgi.uni-bayreuth.de) and at the University of Bayreuth. Funds will be available for attending international conferences and workshops.
The position to be filled up as soon as possible, will be awarded for a period of three years.
To apply, please send the following documents in electronic form to : henri.samuel[at]uni-bayreuth.de
- A Curiculum Vitae
- The contact information of at least two referees
