[UK] PhD Studentship in Gas Turbine Engineering - Cranfield Universty
The Gas Turbine Engineering Group is based within the Department of Power, Propulsion and Aerospace Engineering, School of Engineering, Cranfield University.
A key focus of this group is peformance research. The core of performance analysis is a model of the power system assembled from aerodynamic, thermal or electrical component characteristics within a thermodynamic framework. Currently aircraft propulsion is dominated by the gas turbine, but the modelling techniques are adaptable to other, novel power systems, both for propulsion and land based power generation. Accurate performance prediction is crucial to identifying the optimum vehicle configuration as well as the technologies and the risk mitigation strategies required to realise it. Cranfield has a proven track record in power plant performance analysis together with expertise in airframe design, aircraft systems and aircraft operation which has been built up over the last 50 years. This provides a unique capability within the UK for optimising the power system in the context of the whole vehicle and meeting the long term needs of the community.
PhD Studentships are available in the field of propulsion and strong interaction with industry in this field means that individuals are well prepared for a rewarding career after successful completion of the PhD.
SPONSORSHIP
These studentships offer stipends of
approximately £12,000 - £15,000 per year

Tips Mendapatkan Beasiswa Monbusho
Beasiswa ini dinamakan Monbusho Research Student, sebab pada dasarnya beasiswa diberikan untuk program research student (program non gelar selama 1.5 atau 2 tahun saja, tergantung Monbusho recommended by Embassy atau recommended by University). Jadi penerima beasiswa ini pada awalnya diberikan hanya untuk 1.5 th atau 2 th buat Research Student (program Non Gelar). Tetapi selama 1.5 th atau 2 th itu jika penerima beasiswa bisa masuk program S2 ataupun S3, beasiswa akan diperpanjang dan statusnya jadi beasiswa S2 atau beasiswa S3.
Untuk mendapatkan beasiswa monbusho research student ini ada 2 macam :
- Monbusho Recommended by Embassy (di Indonesia, dikenal dengan nama Monbusho G to G)
- Monbusho Recommended by University (di Indonesia, dikenal dengan nama Monbusho U to U)
untuk selanjutnya sebut aja beasiswa Monbusho G to G dan Monbusho U to U (tapi ingat istilah ini hanya ada di Indonesia).
Cara untuk mendapatkan beasiswa Monbusho Research Student :
1. Untuk mendapatkan beasiswa Monbusho G to G
untuk mendapatkan beasiswa ini, pelamar bisa menghubungi Kedutaan Besar Jepang di Jakarta. Tetapi syarat mutlak yang mesti dipenuhi adalah bahwa pelamar harus statusnya PNS (pegawai Negeri Sipil) atau karyawan BUMN. Selain tersebut tidak bisa mendaftar. Pihak kedutaan besar Jepang telah bekerja sama dengan Pemerintah Indonesia (dalam hal ini pemerintah Indonesia memohon kepada pihak Kedutaan Jepang agar pelamar hanya diperbolehkan khusus untuk PNS atau karyawan BUMN). Sebenarnya Pihak Monbusho (Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture JAPAN) tidak mensyaratkan
demikian, hanya pemerintah Indonesia saja yang menginginkannya. Jadi kita tidak menjumpai syarat-syarat demikian di berbagai negara lain seperti : China, Korea, Malaysia. Thailand, Philipina, Perancis, Kroasia, German, USA, Inggris, Mesir, Iran dll.
Persyaratan lain, sistem seleksi diatur oleh masing-masing Kedutaan Besar Jepang di negara yang bersangkutan. Beasiswa Monbusho G to G ini untuk Indonesia quotanya sekitar 50 orang, dan biasanya jatah buat PNS dari Departemen Pendidikan (dalam hal ini
dosen) sekitar 35 orang dan 15 orang dari Departemen lain atau dari BUMN. Bagi yang berhasil lulus atau berhasil mendapatkan beasiswa ini, maka penerima akan mendapatkan beasiswa research student selama jangka waktu 2 tahun (non gelar).
Dalam masa research student tersebut di universitas jepang yang dipilihnya, mereka sekolah bahasa jepang, dan persiapan untuk ujian masuk S2 bagi yang ingin melanjutkan program S2 dan ujian masuk S3 bagi yang ingin melanjutkan program S3. Ujian masuk universitas diatur oleh masing-masing universitas yang dipilih. Ada universitas jepang yang tiap setengah tahun ngadakan ujian masuk, ada juga setiap tahun sekali ujian masuknya. Jika dalam tahun pertama atau pertengahan tahun pertama saudara lulus ujian masuk S2 atau S3 maka status beasiswa research student yang masa waktunya masih lebih akan otomatis di cancel (dihentikan) dan saudara di daftar sebagai penerima beasiswa S2 (dua tahun lagi, buat yang akan masuk S2) dan S3 (tiga tahun lagi, buat yang akan masuk S3). Tetapi jika dalam masa research student tsb saudara gagal masuk ujian pertama,
maka saudara bisa mengikuti ujian masuk ke dua dan ketiga sampai masa research habis. Jika sampai masa research student habis dan saudara belum bisa masuk ujian, maka saudara di pulangkan. Untuk yang masuk S2, setelah saudara menyelesaikan program Master, dan jika saudara berkeinginan untuk melanjutkan program S3 maka
saudara bisa memperpanjang beasiswa itu untuk masuk program S3 (dan beasiswa akan diperpanjang lagi 3 tahun ke depan).
Informasi mengenai syarat-syarat beasiswa ini (silahkan klik disini).
2. Untuk mendapatkan beasiswa Monbusho U to U
Bagi yang bukan PNS atau karyawan BUMN, yang sudah jelas-jelas nggak bisa ikut Monbusho G to G, jangan kuatir ada cara lain untuk mendapatkan beasiswa Monbusho yaitu beasiswa Monbusho U to U (tapi ini istilah di Indonesia saja) untuk istilah di Jepangnya, Monbusho Recommended by University (artinya universitas Jepang merekomendasikan calon ke Monbusho). Sebenarnya rekomendation diberikan oleh Professor Jepang yang diteruskan ke Universitasnya dan Universitas merekomendasikan ke Monbusho.
Lalu bagaimana cara untuk mendapatkannya ?
Kontak salah satu Professor Jepang yang sesuai bidang anda, dan mulailah kenalan-kenalan baik lewat e-mail, surat pos, Facsimile, maupun telepon. Pertama katakan bahwa saudara tertarik/interest dengan research topik di lab. Profesor tersebut, dan katakan juga bahwa saudara pengen sekali gabung dengan lab. tsb untuk melanjutkan study master atau doktor. Dalam surat perkenalan pertama itu sedapat mungkin saudara menyertakan CV, ringkasan riset yang pernah saudara kerjakan dan rencana riset/tema riset yang ingin saudara lakukan. Setelah menjalin beberapa kali kontak dengan Professor (artinya kalau Professor sudah OK untuk menerima saudara) maka tanyakan ada kemungkinan dia mencalonkan (merekomendasikan ) orang asing untuk mendapatkan beasiswa Monbusho nggak. Saat saudara tanya tentang beasiswa Monbusho ke Professor tersebut, biasanya saudara di anjurkan untuk mengikuti Monbusho yang lewat Embassy di negara masing-masing, setelah saudara berhasil, saudara bisa ngontak Professor tersebut lagi untuk membimbing saudara. Memang jawaban seperti diatas sering sekali diucapkan oleh Professor Jepang.
Ada kemungkinan bahwa Professor sibuk dan nggak mau ngurus (sebab untuk apply monbusho recommended by university, Professor lah yang sibuk sekali mulai dari ngambil application ke Foreign Student Office di Universitasnya, terus Professor mengirimkan application itu ke calon mahasiswa, dan setelah diisi oleh calon mahasiswa, terus Professor memberikan application itu ke Foreign Student Office lagi setelah dia ngasih rekomendasi). Kemungkinan lainnya adalah bahwa Professor itu tidak tahu bagaimana cara apply Monbusho recommended by University, mereka hanya tahu cuman dari Embassy saja. Dalam hal ini Saudara harus dengan hati-hati menjelaskan bahwa Professor punya hak untuk merekomendasikan mahasiswa asing untuk mendapatkan beasiswa Monbusho dan bisa ditanyakan ke Foreign Student Office Universitasnya.
Dalam mengontak Professor Jepang usahakan Professor yang ada di universitas negeri. Universitas negeri dapat jatah beasiswa Monbusho besar sekali. Universitas-universitas negeri yang terkenal misalnya :
The University of Tokyo http://www.u-tokyo.ac.jp/
Tokyo Institute of Technology http://www.titech.ac.jp/
Kyoto University http://www.kyoto-u.ac.jp/
Tsukuba University http://www.tsukuba.ac.jp/
Osaka University http://www.osaka-u.ac.jp/
Nagoya University http://www.nagoya-u.ac.jp/
Tidak jarang juga Professor negeri yang tidak tahu tentang beasiswa Monbusho recommended by University.
Surat perkenalan pertama ke Professor Jepang kadang-kadang tidak di jawab. Banyak kemungkinannya, antara lain Professor tersebut tidak bagus Englishnya sehingga untuk membalas dalam bahasa Inggris dia butuh waktu lama, padahal dia sibuk sekali.
Kemungkinan lain di lab. Professor tersebut udah penuh, artinya tidak bisa menampung lagi mahasiswa baru. Tapi jangan kuatir masih ada ribuan Professor-professor yang tersebar di seluruh Universitas di Jepang, silahkan saudara mencoba untuk kontak ke
Professor lainnya.
Cara yang terbagus adalah jika kenalan dengan Professor Jepang dilakukan pada saat ketemu di Conference, Scientific meeting, Kunjungan-kunjungan lab, atau pas ada kerja sama sehingga Professor Jepang datang ke Indonesia. Kalau ada kesempatan seperti
itu, bisa saudara manfaatkan sebaik-baiknya.
Jika semuanya udah OK, dalam arti Professor sanggup menguruskan beasiswa Monbusho, maka Professor lah yang sibuk. Mulai dari ngambil application di Foreign Student Office di Universitasnya, terus ngirim application itu ke saudara (setelah saudara isi lengkap, saudara diharapkan ngembalikan ke Professor lagi), terus Professor ngembalikan lagi application yang sudah saudara isi lengkap ke Foreign Student Office dengan Professor tsb menyertakan rekomendasi bahwa saudara diterima di lab-nya.
Akhirnya Foreign Student Office merekomendasikan candidate ke Monbusho. Setelah diproses oleh Monbusho hasil pengumumannya di beritahukan ke Universitas, dan Universitas memberitahu ke Professor bahwa calon yang direkomendasikan oleh Professor tsb berhasil. Barusan setelah itu Professor memberi tahu saudara. Segala urusan mengenai kedatangan dan penjemputan saudara di urus oleh Professor.
Setelah dapat pemberitahuan bahwa saudara dinyatakan sukses sebagai penerima beasiswa Monbusho, saudara akan mendapatkan sertifikat pernyataan bahwa saudara berhak menerima beasiswa Monbusho untuk research student selama 1.5 tahun. Setelah
mendapatkan beasiswa research student, maka proses berikutnya sama persis dengan beasiswa Monbusho G to G. Hanya waktu research student beasiswa monbusho U to U cuman 1.5 tahun.
Dalam masa research student tersebut saudara harus belajar bahasa jepang, dan persiapan untuk ujian masuk S2 bagi yang ingin melanjutkan program S2 dan ujian masuk S3 bagi yang ingin melanjutkan program S3. Ujian masuk universitas diatur oleh masing-
masing universitas yang dipilih. Ada universitas jepang yang tiap setengah tahun ngadakan ujian masuk, ada juga setiap tahun sekali ujian masuknya. Jika dalam tahun pertama atau pertengahan tahun pertama saudara lulus ujian masuk S2 atau S3 maka status beasiswa research student yang masa waktunya masih lebih akan otomatis di
cancel (dihentikan) dan saudara di daftar sebagai penerima beasiswa S2 (dua tahun lagi, buat yang akan masuk S2) dan S3 (tiga tahun lagi, buat yang akan masuk S3). Tetapi jika dalam masa research student tsb saudara gagal masuk ujian pertama, maka
saudara bisa mengikuti ujian masuk ke dua dan ketiga sampai masa research habis. Jika sampai masa research student habis dan saudara belum bisa masuk ujian, maka saudara di pulangkan. Untuk yang masuk S2, setelah saudara menyelesaikan program Master, dan
jika saudara berkeinginan untuk melanjutkan program S3 maka saudara bisa memperpanjang beasiswa itu untuk masuk program S3 (dan beasiswa akan diperpanjang lagi 3 tahun ke depan).
Nah kesempatan ini, yang bisa di dapat oleh setiap orang tanpa kecuali (tidak harus PNS ataupun karyawan BUMN). Disamping tidak ada quota kita bisa meminta rekomendasi dari berbagai pilihan banyak Professor-Professor Jepang yang tersebar di seluruh universitas Jepang. Dan prosedur beasiswa ini tidak ada hubungannya dengan Kedutaan Jepang di Indonesia. Hanya saja jika saudara diterima beasiswa ini pihak kedutaan jepang mengharapkan saudara untuk melapor bahwa saudara di terima beasiswa monbusho.
Beasiswa Monbusho recommended by university di TOKYO INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (TIT) Ini adalah sebagai contoh cara apply beasiswa Monbusho U to U di TIT.
Formulir beasiswa monbusho U to U ini bisa di dapat di Foreign Student Office TIT sekitar bulan Desember, tetapi yang berhak mengambil hanya Professor TIT saja, mahasiswa tidak diperbolehkan. Formulir harus diserahkan ke Foreign Student Office TIT paling
lambat 31 Maret, setelah formulir diisi lengkap oleh applicant dan sudah di kasih rekomendasi oleh Professor TIT. Penyerahan formulir ke Foreign Student Office hanya bisa dilakukan oleh Professor TIT.
Aplicant tidak diperbolehkan menyerahkan application langsung.
Pihak Foreign Student Office TIT akan merekomendasikan calon ke Monbusho sekitar pertengahan April. Monbusho akan menyeleksi dan menginformasikan ke Pihak Foreign Student Office TIT pada pertangahan Agustus. Awal Oktober calon mahasiswa diharapkan
kedatangannya ke Jepang. Semua urusan eligibility untuk pengurusan VISA, tiket pesawat ke Jepang diurus semua oleh Foreign Student Office TIT.
Untuk universitas lain seperti The University of Tokyo, Kyoto University dll, deadline penyerahan application, pengumuman serta tata caranya berbeda dengan TIT. Setiap universitas punya aturan yang berbeda-beda.
Perbedaan Beasiswa Monbusho G to G dengan Monbusho U to U
1. Saat pengajuan (saat apply)
Untuk Monbusho G to G, pengajuannya di Kedutaan Jepang (Jakarta), proses seleksi di atur oleh pihak kedutaan Jepang. Syarat utamanya adalah harus PNS atau karyawan BUMN
Untuk Monbusho U to U, pengajuannya ke Professor Jepang dan diteruskan ke Universitas Jepang. Tidak ada persyaratan khusus untuk mendapatkan beasiswa ini (tidak harus PNS atau karywana BUMN).
2. Seleksi
Untuk Monbusho G to G, seleksi diadakan oleh kedutaan Jepang. seleksi tahap pertama penyeleksian dari dokumen-dokumen yang diserahkan pada saat aply, seleksi berikutnya adalah wawancara. Untuk Monbusho U to U, tidak ada sistem seleksi, jika Professor
sudah OK (dalam arti ngasih rekomendasi), maka universitas akan melanjutkan untuk merekomendasikan ke Monbusho. Tetapi jika di universitas tsb terlalu banyak permintaan dari Professor (jumlah Professor yang apply banyak) maka universitas mengadakan seleksi, biasanya seleksi di dasarkan pada kesenioritasan Professor. Untuk itu, usahakan nyari Professor yang senior, yang sudah Full Professor bukan yang Associate Professor. Hal ini untuk menjaga kemungkinan adanya kejadian diatas.

[Qatar] Fellowship: The Hamad Bin Khalifa Symposium on Islamic Art at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Arts, Qatar
Fellowships Available to ATTEND Islamic Art Symposium at VCU, Qatar
The Hamad Bin Khalifa Symposium on Islamic Art strives to foster the development of an international community of researchers and scholars in Islamic art and cultures. The fellowship provides financial support for conference attendance and recognition of scholars from diverse geographic and cultural areas, including those from the less developed and less well-funded countries.
Many scholars, who more characteristically conduct research for years with minimal support, are having a hard time believing that these generous fellowships are merely to attend the symposium, and not to present papers, as is usual with travel fellowships.
Thirteen speakers from around the world from a variety of disciplines will explore the theme of water in the Islamic lands from southern Europe to South Asia from the 7th century to the present. Topics range from the supply and distribution of water to its role in religion and popular culture.
Attendance at the Rivers of Paradise: Water in Islamic Art and Culture Symposium in Doha, Qatar is an opportunity for advanced students and other scholars from around the world to meet and interact with one another. The fellowship will also allow students and scholars to visit Doha, one of the fastest-growing Islamic Art centers in the Middle East.
Sheila S. Blair and Jonathan M. Bloom, shared holders of the Hamad bin Khalifa Endowed Chair of Islamic Art at VCU and the Norma Jean Calderwood University Chair of Islamic and Asian Art at Boston College, and curators of the acclaimed current exhibition of Islamic art Cosmophilia, are convening the conference.
Online fellowship applications are due June 1, 2007. Complimentary symposium registration will be available July 2007. For more information contact
