August 2010 in the following interdisciplinary areas:
- THE CHANGING FAMILY IN ASIA
- ASIAN MIGRATION
- RELIGION & GLOBALISATION IN ASIAN CONTEXTS
- CULTURAL STUDIES IN ASIA
- COLD WAR IN ASIA
- SUMATRA HERITAGE, ARCHAEOLOGY AND RECONSTRUCTION
The Asia Research Institute is pleased to offer Ph.D. research scholarships from
The PhD scholarship is to be taken up jointly with the appropriate discipline-based department. This would normally be with a department of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, but where appropriate could also be with the Faculty of Law, School of Business or School of Design & Environment at the National University of Singapore. Please note that some departments / Programmes only have one intake per year in August (Semester 1).
Interested applicants are required to submit their application by 15th November 2009, indicating clearly both which ARI interdisciplinary area they wish to join and which department they would be attached to. Application procedures and forms can be obtained from the NUS website via this URL: http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/gd-applnres.html
Applicants must use the application forms in the respective Faculty websites depending on the Faculty to which they wish to seek admission. They should send their applications directly to their respective faculties, indicating their interest to be attached to ARI. Applicants should not send a duplicate copy to ARI.
The following interdisciplinary areas or “clusters” are offering scholarships:
1) The Changing Family in Asia (Research Leader: Prof Gavin Jones)
This cluster explores the dimensions of family change in the region, their causes and their implications. These dimensions include rising ages at marriage, declining size of the nuclear family, increase in one-person households and alternative family forms, changing gender roles within families, and changes in family structures. They are studied in the context of the changing political-economic structures and changing state/family roles in provision of services and support.
2) The Migration Cluster (Research Leader: Professor Brenda Yeoh) explores the issues arising from increased levels of human mobility in the region, both within and across national borders. Mobility of high-level professional and managerial personnel, labour migration, both documented and undocumented, and human trafficking all raise theoretical and methodological questions and major policy issues, as does the role of migration in urban change.
3) The Religion and Globalisation Cluster (Research Leader: Professor Bryan Turner) explores the changing patterns of religious practice, belief and identity in recent times, particularly in Southeast Asia, China and South Asia. The title implies a particular interest in transnational and diasporic interactions, the engagement with modern technologies and values, and new global or ‘glocal’ forms of identity.
4) The Cultural Studies Cluster (Research Leader: Professor Chua Beng Huat) consciously challenges disciplinary boundaries to address new topics, issues and concerns thrown up by the rapid globalization of contemporary cultures. ARI is interested in new understandings of the everyday life cultural practices of contemporary Asia, as in adaptations of older patterns in literature, and the performing and graphic arts, in rapidly changing contemporary conditions.
5) The Southeast Asia-China Interactions Cluster (Research Leader: Professor Anthony Reid) will welcome students in two project areas: The Cold War in Asia, relating particularly to relations between the two Chinas (CCP and KMT) and the parties, movements and governments of Southeast Asia; and issues of heritage recovery and archaeology in Aceh and Sumatra more generally.
6) The Asian Cities Cluster (Research Leaders: Prof Heng Chye Kiang & Prof Chua Beng Huat) is housed in School of Design and Environment (SDE), Department of Architecture (NUS). This cluster focuses especially on cutting-edges areas of rapid change and the identity of Asia cities, notably including: the impact of rapid urbanization, adapting and conserving heritage to a changing urban environment, and urban environmental planning. It will build collaborative and interdisciplinary connections among the colleagues from the Humanities and Social Science faculties in NUS.
ARI is a university-level institute formed in July 2001 as one of the strategic initiatives of the NUS. The mission of the Institute is to produce and promote world-class research on Asia. ARI engages the social sciences and humanities broadly defined, and encourages especially multidisciplinary studies. Now home to six research clusters with a strong team of resident and visiting scholars, ARI works closely with the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, School of Business, Faculty of Law, and School of Design and Environment in NUS.

PhD Scholarships in Management - Greece and UK
What is the Anglo-Hellenic Doctoral Community?
The Anglo-Hellenic doctoral community presents a unique opportunity to
bring together a range of expertise from Scotland and Greece in order to
support the development of talented doctoral students who wish to engage
in empirical research in Greece. Such a community offers opportunities,
that otherwise may not be available, to study at a leading UK
University. Students will spend up to 60% of their academic year in
Athens, gaining experience in a range of research activities. The Athens
Institute for Education and Research (ATINER) (www.atiner.gr) seeks to
support this endeavour with academic expertise and supervision offered
by its director Dr Gregory T. Papanikos, and also financially by
providing a scholarship fund to help support exceptional doctoral
candidates. Strathclyde University Business School (SBS)
(www.strath.ac.uk/business) will provide academic supervision, high
quality facilities, post-graduate research training, and academic
standards and validation, and Professor Sharon Bolton will offer
supervisory expertise and academic management of the community.
The creation of an Anglo-Hellenic Doctoral Community has six central
objectives and related outcomes:
• To offer opportunities to exceptional students who wish to study at a
leading UK university whilst engaging in empirical research in Greece.
• To create a community of early-career scholars that is supported by
two research-based institutions – ATINER in Greece and SBS in UK – thus
providing a strong network of mechanisms that provide support for
quality research and successful completion of doctoral theses
• To produce innovative research that will be of importance to the
academic, policy and business communities in Greece, UK, Europe and beyond.
• To establish lifelong networks of collaboration between the UK and Greece
• To create flows of knowledge exchange
• To build the next generation of leading academics, policy makers and
business leaders with a pan-European outlook
Studying for a PhD at Strathclyde University Business School
PhD students will be expected to pursue structured, supervised research
into one of the many business-related fields in which Strathclyde
Management School has expertise. Particularly, members of the
Anglo-Hellenic Doctoral Community will focus on producing innovative
research that will be of importance to the academic, policy and business
communities in Greece, UK, Europe and beyond.
The minimum research period for a full-time PhD is 3 years. At the end
of this period, candidates will be expected to write an extended thesis,
demonstrating evidence of their capacity to pursue scholarly research
that is reflective and offers critical insight into an under-researched
area. The results of their research should make an original contribution
to knowledge and be of a standard appropriate for dissemination and
publication to a wide audience.
Where will the Anglo-Hellenic Doctoral Community reside?
The Anglo-Hellenic Doctoral Community will be based in the Department of
Management, Strathclyde University Business School (SBS). Students will
register at SBS, be involved with induction activities and attend
Research Training. They will attend the Department of Management’s
annual ‘doctoral day’ in October and be expected to present their
research as part of the departmental seminar series in year two and
three of their studies. As networking and knowledge exchange activities
will be at the heart of the Anglo-Hellenic Doctoral Community’s
activities, students will also be expected to submit papers to
international academic conferences in years two and three, and also to
present and attend the ATINER conferences that take place every summer
in Athens as a means of regularly networking with academics from all
over the world. Special seminars and workshops will also be held at
ATINER covering methodological issues, and the European business and
economic environment. Depending on supervisory arrangements, members of
the cohort may spend up to 60% of their academic year in Athens,
studying under the supervision of Dr Gregory T. Papanikos. For those
students who receive scholarships, summers in Athens will be spent
conducting research assistance work for ATINER (supporting projects and
the conference season).
Fees and Administration
Candidates offered a place to study as part of the Anglo-Hellenic
Doctoral Community will be registered at Strathclyde University as
full-time Doctoral candidates from October 2009. Current Fees: 3,450 GB
Pounds per year which includes registration, attendance at research
training classes, supervision, full use of Strathclyde University’s
postgraduate student facilities and support services, and administration
of the cohort by Professor Sharon Bolton, Department of Management.
It is expected members of the Anglo-Hellenic Doctoral Community will
submit their completed theses following three years of study. The theses
will be examined according to Strathclyde procedures and standards. Each
member of the Anglo-Hellenic Doctoral Community will be assessed
annually by an independent panel of experts drawn from Strathclyde
University, appointed by the department of Management, SBS, as per the
Strathclyde system. Students who do not make satisfactory progress will
be advised either to aim to complete the degree of MPhil or to cease
study entirely. The decision of the panel will be final.
Members of the Anglo-Hellenic Doctoral Community will receive academic
supervision from either Dr Gregory T. Papanikos or Professor Sharon
Bolton, with co-supervisors based at Strathclyde appointed according to
student proposals and supervisory availability. Professor Sharon Bolton
will also act as overall leader of the cohort and the main point of
contact for all matters relating to student admission, registration,
progress and monitoring of periods spent in Athens.

ATINER intends to offer a total scholarship fund of 90,000 euros over a
period of three years. Scholarships will be awarded to exceptional
applicants to support their period of study. Scholarships may take the
form of support scholarships or fees only. Candidates will be awarded

Group: Laboratory for Biomaterials and Bioengineering (LBB), Québec City, CANADA Director: Prof. Diego Mantovani Project The LBB is offering a 3 years PhD position for the development of highly-adherent and strongly-
cohesive fluorocarbon nano-coatings for intravascular stents, and bio-mimicking coatings for cardio vascular implants. The proposed PhD project focuses on the surface treatments of metallic biomaterials with different plasma technologies (polymerization, functionnalisation, implantation,
etching), complementary nanotechnology tools (AFM for imaging, in situ corrosion and mechanical properties), surface characterization techniques (XPS, ToF-SIMS, NEXAFS, X-PEEM), and others.
The PhD student will be involved in an international multidisciplinary project and it is foreseen that
the student will be sent out for research stays to deepen the cooperation with our worldwide partners (France, Belgium, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, Mexico, Italy, Germany) and be involved about new methods/ideas and implementation issues at the cutting edge of the science. A co-tutelle de thèse with
French partners might be envisaged depending the ability, personality, and motivation of the candidate. Research at LBB is highly project-oriented, and students with different but complementary backgrounds are often working together on a common project, each exploring a specific facet.
Skills A master degree in chemistry, physics, materials or engineering is highly recommended. Prior experience in vacuum, surface modification by plasma or plasma chemistry is considered as an added value, but not essential. Working languages are French and English, the candidate should rapidly
become fluent in at least one of the language mentioned above. Work environment LBB is a project-oriented, efficiency-concerne d, and truly cosmopolitan academic research Laboratory, with students and researchers with different but complementary backgrounds coming from
