Beasiswa Pascasarjana Depag 2007

BEASISWA PROGRAM PASCASARJANA DIREKTORAT PENDIDIKAN MADRASAH DIREKTORAT JENDERAL PENDIDIKAN ISLAM DEPARTEMEN AGAMA TAHUN 2007

A. Pendahuluan
Tugas pokok yang diemban Direktorat Pendidikan Madrasah adalah menyelenggarakan pendidikan pada madrasah dengan hasil yang sesuai sebagaimana diharapkan masyarakat. Masyarakat menghendaki lulusan madrasah yang ingin melanjutkan pendidikan ke perguruan tinggi, bisa diterima di perguruan tinggi negeri yang baik dan bagi yang ingin bekerja bisa mendapatkan pekerjaan yang layak. Untuk itu, siswa madrasah di berikan semua mata pelajaran yang diajarkan di sekolah dan dengan menambah pelajaran Agama Islam yang lebih banyak.
Ada sejumlah madrasah yang telah mampu memenuhi harapan masyarakat dan mengungguli mutu yang dicapai sekolah. Namun, secara jujur disadari bahwa sebagian besar madrasah belum bisa memenuhi harapan masyarakat dan mutu pelajaran umum masih tertinggal dari sekolah. Banyak faktor yang menyebabkan adanya kesenjangan antara harapan masyarakat dengan hasil yang dilahirkan madrasah serta kesenjangan antara mutu madrasah dan sekolah. Salah satu penyebab utamanya adalah rendahnya kompetensi guru di bidang materi yang diajarkan kepada siswa di madrasah.

Ditjen Pendidikan Islam melalui Direktorat Pendidikan Madrasah telah bertekad untuk melakukan segala upaya agar madrasah secara bertahap mampu memenuhi harapan masyarakat dan mengurangi kesenjangan antara mutu pendidikan madrasah dengan sekolah umum. Salah satu upaya yang ingin segera dilakukan adalah dengan meningkatkan kompetensi guru di bidang substansi materi yang diajarkan. Pada tahun anggaran 2006, Direktorat Pendidikan Madrasah memberikan beasiswa penuh untuk program S-2 kepada guru dan pegawai di berbagai bidang studi yang penyelenggaraannya melalui kerja sama dengan 15 (lima belas) perguruan tinggi negeri utama di Indonesia. Sedangkan pada tahun anggaran 2007 ini, program yang sama masih dilaksanakan, bahkan mengalami berbagai peningkatan yang cukup signifikan, baik jumlah penerima beasiswa, bidang studi maupun perguruan tinggi sebagai mitra program ini.

Doctoral Research Scholarship in Political Thought 2007-2008 South Africa

One National Research Foundation (NRF) scholarship is on offer for three years doctoral research in the School of Politics, University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), Durban, South Africa. Dr Lawrence Hamilton, a political philosopher in the school, has recently been awarded the NRF President’s Award for his research achievements, which enables him to fund doctoral and postdoctoral research under his supervision. The Scholarship must be taken up from 1 July 2007. The successful candidate will receive R45,000 per annum, which is sufficient to cover university and living expenses in South Africa, and this can be supplemented by employment within the School of Politics. This scholarship is part of a project to create a Centre of Excellence in Political Philosophy at UKZN.
The doctoral research must, therefore, be on a topic within the fields of History of Political Thought, Political Philosophy or Political Theory. However, the latter in particular can be construed fairly widely to include research that makes use of empirical analysis, case studies, etc, so long as the main focus of the research is on furthering the understanding or applicability of a question within political thought. Applications are therefore also encouraged from students who have an interest in grounding their theoretical analysis in existing political contexts and problems.

Dr Hamilton’s research interests and publications include a book (The Political Philosophy of Needs [Cambridge University Press, 2003 (2007)]) and a number of articles and ongoing research on the state, coercion, popular sovereignty, rights, needs, interests, citizenship, markets, imperialism, civil society, judgment in politics, the French Revolution and representative democracy, the political thought of Hobbes, Rousseau, Sieyès, Hegel, Proudhon and Marx, African political thought, and land reform, public debt and constitutionalism in South Africa. However, applicants should not feel they have to restrict their research to these or cognate areas. Dr Hamilton can supervise research on most topics within the History of Political Thought, Political Philosophy and Political Theory, and the final choice of candidate will not be influenced by their choice of research topic.

Candidates should email their curriculum vitae (CV) and a one-page summary of their proposed doctoral research to Dr Hamilton (hamilton1@ukzn.ac.za) by 14 June 2007. They should also ask three referees to send assessments of their work and suitability for doctoral study by the same deadline. They can also post their applications to: Dr Lawrence Hamilton, School of Politics, Howard College Campus, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 4041, South Africa, making sure they arrive by the deadline. The successful candidate will be informed by the 20 June 2007 at the latest.

MSc Fellowship: Design and implementation of a web-based microarray analysis system

MSc Fellowship: Teagasc, Animal Production Research Centre, Athenry, co. Galway
Design and implementation of a web-based microarray analysis system

Project Background
Microarrays are now widely used for gene expression profiling in many animal science-based experiments. Raw data emanating from microarray experiments, however, are very noisy and there are many sources of variation and bias. The raw data needs to be quality assessed and interactively “pre-processed” to minimise or remove this variation before statistical analysis in order to achieve any meaningful result. This requires a combination of visualisation and statistical tools which vary depending on what microarray platform or experimental design is used.
A number of stand alone tools based on the statistical software R and Bio-conductor routines are readily available for these types of analyses. However, the analysis pipeline is not always clear to the user, and the desired tools are not always available from the one source, without resorting to a command line interface, unfamiliar to most users. A user friendly interface is required to facilitate the pre-processing and analysis of microarray experiments in Teagasc addressing the most common microarray platforms and following a logical progression through an analysis pipeline that is extensible and capable of addressing current as well as future needs.

Objective
To set up a bio-informatics web server running Linux with core bio-informatics software. To design and implement a web based microarray analysis system with core and extensible functionality based on R and bio-conductor capable of addressing the current and future microarray pre-processing and analysis requirements of Teagasc research programmes.

Position
A post-graduate position is available to work on all aspects of the research project outlined above.

Requirements
Applicants should have a good primary degree (1 or 2.1) with a significant component in computing. Good quantitative data skills are essential and some knowledge of biology and bioinformatics would be a distinct advantage. It is expected that the successful candidate will register with the Mathematics Department, NUIG for a Masters degree.

Funding
The position is funded by a Teagasc Walsh Fellowship of €21,000/pa to cover postgraduate stipend and tuition fees.

Location and supervision
The student will be located, for approximately 50% of the time at the Teagasc, Animal Production Research Centre, Athenry, Co. Galway, and for the remainder at the Department of Mathematics, NUIG.

The University supervisors will be Prof John Hinde Mathematics Department and Dr Aaron Golden Information Technology and NCBES Bioinformatics Research Group, NUIG; and the Teagasc supervisor will be Dr Dermot Morris, Teagasc, Athenry.

Starting date
The project will start at the beginning of September 2007. Students will be required to register for a Masters degree at NUIG (to be completed by end of August 2009).

Application procedure
Applicants should submit curriculum vitae, detailing their qualifications and experience, together with a covering letter stating why they wish to pursue this project, by Friday, 1 June 2007. Applications should be sent by post or email to:

Beasiswa S3 Jerman 2007-2008: Molecular Cell Biology

Germany International PhD Program Molecular Cell Biology - Max-Delbrück Centre

The International PhD Programme “Molecular Cell Biology” has been established in 2003, and is a joint activity of the Max-Delbrück Centre (MDC) for Molecular Medicine and the Humboldt University (HU) Berlin. Every year 10-12 students from around the world are being selected on a competitive basis to join the Programme.

The Programme provides exceptional research opportunities and in-depth interdisciplinary training in Molecular Cell Biology, with strong emphasis on the fundamental molecular biology and molecular cell biology as a foundation of modern medicine. It is aimed at university graduates (with Diploma or Masters degree), who wish to obtain a PhD in the fields of Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Molecular Genetics, Molecular Cardiovascular Research, Developmental Biology and Neurobiology.

There are 41 Research Groups you could select from and it is up to you to choose that "big" question you wish to find an answer for during your PhD research. And because we have critical mass of the scientific expertise at the MDC and Berlin-Buch Campus, you would never be far away from a world expert, be it in cancer signalling pathways or genomics, systems biology or macromolecular structure, gene therapy or neuronal stem cells.


Language
The working language of the Programme is English.

Starting Date
Students should be able to start in September/October 2007

Funding
Successful PhD candidates are awarded a 3-year Scholarship from the MDC or HU, with a possibility of extension decided on a case-by-case basis. The salary level for the graduate students employed as research assistants is in accordance with the standard tariff for public service sector and is about 1400 EUR gross, which translates to between 900 - 1100 EUR net. MDC also provides travel grants to its PhD students, encouraging them to attend international scientific meetings to present their findings.

PhD Degree
As a rule, our PhD students are enrolled at the Humboldt University of Berlin or the Free University of Berlin to obtain their degree - Doctor rerum naturalium (Dr. rer. nat.), translated as Doctor of Natural Sciences. This is a German equivalent of the PhD degree and is internationally recognised and accepted as such. Students could also opt for a university of their home country to get their PhD degree from.

Wider PhD students community at the MDC
The MDC`s PhD student community is not limited to the International PhD Programme only, - there are about 150 of graduates working on their PhDs at any point in time (do check our students` web site). Every year our PhD students organise a PhD Retreat (please, see the photo from the last one), where they present their results, meet distinguished invited speakers of their own choice, exchange ideas and socialise. But you do not have to wait for a year to get out of the lab, - in their free time our graduates also organise regular outings, or, as it is called here `Stammtisch`.

INGGRIS: Beasiswa S3 Physical Activity, Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Neural Health in Humans

UK PhD Studentships Physical Activity, Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Neural Health in Humans at Oxford Brookes University

Epidemiological evidence indicates that regular physical activity is neuroprotective, with physically active older persons demonstrating improved cognitive function and reduced risk of dementia. The biological mechanisms responsible for this relationship between exercise and brain health are not well understood, but one molecule in particular is implicated in this process, Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). BDNF is vital for synaptic plasticity in adult mammals and is produced by varied peripheral tissues as well as the brain and crosses the blood-brain barrier.

Research with animal models demonstrates that levels of BDNF fall with inactivity and age, while voluntary physical activity significantly increases levels within the central nervous system (CNS) and that this increase correlates with both the amount of exercise and improved performance on cognitive tasks. In humans, CNS BDNF levels are reduced in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and decreased levels are found in the blood in AD, schizophrenia, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Aims
To determine the relationship between levels of blood BDNF (plasma and serum), physical activity and neural/cognitive function in humans. Finding an optimum dose-response relationship between exercise intensity/frequency and blood BDNF levels could be of major importance for determining the use of exercise prescription in prevention and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Objectives:

To examine levels of plasma and serum BDNF between sedentary and active individuals of similar ages to determine any relationship between physical activity level and blood BDNF.
To determine if there is any correlation in healthy humans between plasma and serum BDNF, measurable neural control of physiological function (Heart Rate Variability) and cognitive function.
To investigate if regular exercise in healthy humans increases levels of plasma and serum BDNF and if so, to investigate which form of exercise is most effective at increasing blood BDNF to gain insight into the dose-response relationship between BDNF and exercise.
Methodologies
The research student would have the opportunity to learn and use immunoassay techniques to determine blood levels of BDNF, acquire skills in the physiological testing of human subjects to determine the effect of exercise on neural function, and assist with neuropsychological testing of study participants if desired.

An opportunity to develop teaching skills in higher education may be included in the training available with this studentship.
