Dear Colleagues,
Two PhD scholarship positions are available at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore to conduct research related to risk management and application of financial engineering concepts to PPP/BOT schemes. For this, I seek your help to disseminate the information to interested applicants. To ensure synergy in research, there are currently a few students working on other topics related to PPP/BOT initiatives and the successful applicant will have a chance to interact and share ideas in a research group.
Some general information has been summarized below, but the details are given in the attached documents for the two respective topics.
Research Topic 1 - Application of Financial Engineering to Infrastructure Project Investments:
Financial engineering plays an important role in modern risk and investment management. In the context of infrastructure investments, the application of financial engineering principles is not unprecedented and has been instrumental to the securitization of debt and equity holdings in infrastructure projects/assets. The principles however may be extended beyond such applications and coupled with other areas of risk management. For example, since each major infrastructure project originates from a different geographical regime and is associated with a different set of market and unique risks, financial evaluation and pricing of risk exposure
of infrastructure projects may be explored and structured at the "pool" level rather than a single project level. The scope of this research would include the study of securitization and risk management practices in other sectors such as real estate and explore how it could be applied to the context of large-scale infrastructure project investments worldwide.
Research Topic 2 - Political, Legal, and Regulatory Risks in Public-Private
Partnerships:
Infrastructure projects are exposed to numerous risks during the project life cycle of up to 30 years. In particular, recent international developments show the increasing exposure of infrastructure projects
to political, legal, and regulatory risks (PLRR). Project sponsors, lenders, and insurers need to assess these risks for setting aside contingency budgets, detect changes in the credit quality, valuate insurances, and design hedging strategies. Due to the large scale of PPPs, PPPs may involve many parties from local to an international lender and investor structure and multi-national project companies. Political, legal and regulatory risks (PLRR) affect the financial structure of such PPPs. Objectives of this research may include: (1) identifying and quantifying the PLRR; (2) mapping the effect of PLRR on PPP contracts; (3) determining the trigger structure for PLRR; (4) developing a tool for mitigating the PLRR; (5) assessing the
effect of PLR on the bankability and viability of PPPs.
Close collaboration with market and industry participants is expected. A strong quantitative focus with supporting qualitative methods is desired.
Research Scholarships:
The successful applicants will be sponsored under the NTU research scholarship scheme. Based on current terms and conditions, the scholarship provides a monthly allowance of Singapore Dollar 1,400~1,500 (up to 3 years) plus exemption from tuition/research fees. A further top-up to the stipend amount may possibly be given by the Centre for Infrastructure Systems of the school.
Application:
August 2007 Intake: Information, admission requirements and guidelines for online application are available at: http://www.ntu. edu.sg/GradStudi es/Research+ Programmes/ Admission/ .
Applicants can submit online application first, and then provide all relevant documents and test scores as soon as possible. Note that the deadline of application for the August 2007 intake is 28 February 2007. Preferred candidates should show professional or research experience related to PPP/BOT projects and possess good academic results in their Bachelor and Master degrees.
Contact:
Please contact the respective supervisors of the above topics as indicated in the documents attached. Interested candidates are encouraged to submit to the supervisors their CVs and a brief write-up on their intended approach to the research topics prior to online application.
Thank you and kind regards,

Netherland Schoolarship in AIT
The Netherlands Ministry for Development Cooperation' s Master's and Doctoral scholarships in Sustainable Poverty Reduction
The opportunity
Students from Asian developing nations are offered the opportunity to pursue their master's or doctoral studies in fields relating to sustainable poverty reduction at one of Asia 's leading postgraduate institutions.
The scholarships
The Netherlands Ministry for Development Cooperation and the Asian Institute of Technology have partnered to offer a program called "Human Resource Development for Asian Partner Countries" from October 2006 to December 2009. Master's and doctoral scholarships will be provided to students from seven partner countries of the Netherlands in Asia, i.e., Afghanistan , Bangladesh , Indonesia , Mongolia , Pakistan , Sri Lanka and Vietnam .
The scholarships cover the costs of degree programs in fields relevant to sustainable development, environmental protection and the promotion of gender equity. The three focal areas are water engineering and management, rural development and sustainable use of natural resources, and urban environmental management.
Water engineering and management includes waterways and coastal engineering, irrigation engineering, water resources and water supply drainage. Expertise areas also include water transport, flood control, beach protection, erosion, water supply and wastewater collection and sewerage treatment systems, and integrated watershed development management.
Rural development and sustainable use of natural resources addresses rural development and the need to consider economic productivity versus the necessity to conserve rural areas. In AIT many programs aim to contribute to technology to stimulate rural developments including agricultural and food engineering, bioprocess technology, aquaculture and aquatic resources management, pulp and paper technology, natural resources management, as well as regional and rural development planning.
Urban environmental management addresses the sustainable development of urbanized areas as many of the partner countries are facing rapid urbanization. Thus, the concerns should address urban economy and living environment, conservation of urban natural environments and greening, prevention of environmental deterioration, impacts of urbanization, urban transportation, urban affordable sanitation and
sewage treatment. Urban environmental management focuses on the utilization of human and other resources to improve and maintain the quality of urban areas.

The Danish Folk High School Grant Scheme
Grants for courses at Danish folk high schools for young people from the new EU member states.
More than 540.500 euros were allocated in 2005 by the Danish Parliament to support young people from the 10 new EU member states to participate in courses at Danish Folk High Schools. For 2006 an amount of nearly 400.000 euros has been set aside for the programme, and we expect a similar amount to be allocated for 2007.
A folk high school, which is not compatible to the high schools found in Anglo-Saxon countries, is a non-formal adult residential school offering learning opportunities in almost any subject including history, arts, music, sports, philosophy, theatre, photography etc. The folk high schools are part of a Danish tradition of popular education. The schools individually decide the content of the courses and there are no test or exams.
The courses must have a minimum duration of 12 weeks (if the student leaves before, the grant is cancelled, and all costs are to be paid by the student). The students have to be at least 17½ years old (16½ in the three youth folk high schools), be citizens of, and have permanent residence in one of the following new EU-member states:
a.. Cyprus
b.. Czech Republic
c.. Estonia
d.. Hungary
e.. Latvia
f.. Lithuania
g.. Malta
h.. Poland
i.. Slovakia
j.. Slovenia
The Folk High School courses are supported by the Danish state. The normal tuition fee is between 750-1400 DKK per week, which includes board and lodging. Students from the new member states can get 600 DKK per week covered through the Grant Scheme, to meet the tuition fee.
Application for grants should be made by the Danish folk high schools on behalf of the student.
The next application deadline for the folk high schools is December 1, 2006 for courses from 1 of January, 2007 to 30 June, 2006. This means that students should contact the Danish Folk High School in good time before December, in order to agree about admittance.
The participants need residence permits if they stay in Denmark for more than 12 weeks. Applications should be applied for in good time before the courses begin, at the nearest Danish Embassy. The Danish embassies in the relevant countries has been notified about the scheme, as has The Danish Immigration Service.
For further information about the courses please contact the Danish Folk High Schools. Details of contact can be found at the website: www.hojskolerne. dk.

THE HMC PROJECTS IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE
OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG TEACHERS TO SPEND A YEAR IN THE U.K. AS TEACHING ASSISTANTS DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2007-2008
Applications are invited from teachers or university students training to be teachers who are nearing the end of their course to spend one year in a British Independent School as a Teaching Assistant.
Arrangements
Age limits: 23 - 30 years old.
Objectives: To provide teachers with the opportunity to experience the British educational system, a sample of British life and to gain a greater command of English. Teachers of the following subjects are most easily placed :- Maths, Sciences, Information Technology, Design and Technology, Art, Music, Physical Education and Sport, Junior Classes
and possibly also French, German , Spanish or History and Geography. Teachers of English should normally offer at least one other subject.
Most vacancies are for secondary teachers ( pupils aged 11 - 18 ) but some vacancies do exist also for teaching younger pupils ( aged 7 - 13 )
Essential Qualities:
a.. a good knowledge of English - you must be able to communicate easily but total fluency is not essential if you are willing to learn quickly.
b.. friendly and outgoing
c.. adaptable in unfamiliar situations
d.. able to integrate easily
e.. confident and independent
f.. hardworking, willing and highly motivated
g.. competent in subject area
h.. able to work in a team
i.. readiness to supervise sports and other extra-curicular activities
j.. a commitment to share the experience on returning to your country at the end of the year
Accommodation: this is generally provided by the host school, usually in boarding houses where the Teaching Assistant will act as a resident tutor for boarding children.
Food: will normally be provided during term time. i.e. eating with other resident tutors and school boarders.
Dependants: The allowance and accommodation is not enough for dependants. Applicants must be prepared to go alone, although short visits from dependants during the holidays have been successful in past years.
Finance:
Teachers will be paid not less than £150 per week throughout the year. From this the school may deduct approx. £20 per week for meals taken in school and also approx. £25 per week in respect of accommodation.
Teachers will also have to pay a National Insurance contribution of approx. £7 per week. This gives entitlement to treatment under the National Health Service for all Medical needs except Dental treatment which is not covered.
Travel and Visa Expenses: selected candidates cover their own travel expenses to and from the UK and the costs of obtaining a visa ( if required depending on country ).
Teachers whose applications are successful and who take up places at British schools will be asked to contribute £350 during the year to cover a part of the costs incurred directly for their benefit. Unfortunately this is the only way we can finance the programme. This amounts only to about £7 per week. We require a deposit equivalent to L75 when they accept places and then we accept the rest of payment in two parts, the first £100 being due on 1st December, 2007 and the second £175 on 1st March 2008. Thus it is not necessary for money to be sent in advance from your country and teachers can wait until they have been paid by their schools.
In consequence of these various expenses you should have at least £90 per week available for your own use ( perhaps more ) even after all the costs of accommodation and food have been met. This is sufficient to enable you to
join friends when they go out, to go to the theatre or a football match, to buy some clothes in the Sales or to travel to intersting places around the country. We aim to ensure that you have enough money so that you can make the best use of your time in Britain though you will of course find many things expensive.
Interviews will be arranged by the OSF Prague. These will probably take place during the period mid - February to mid-March 2007. Applicants will normally be informed if they have been successful during the period end-April to end May.
For successful candidates departure for UK is at the beginning of September 2007 for Orientation where other Teaching Assistants from Central and Eastern Europe will be present also.
Applications should include a full cv., a covering letter indicating the reasons for applying and any special interests you wish to pursue in the UK. Applicants should also send letters of recommendation from two referees. Degree certificates etc. should not be included.

USA: Michigan Grotius Fellowships
Michigan Grotius Fellowships for LL.M. or S.J.D. Programs at University of Michigan Law School
Applicants to the graduate programs (LL.M. or S.J.D.) at the University of Michigan Law School are welcome to apply for Michigan Grotius Fellowships to assist in financing their graduate studies.
Named after Hugo Grotius, the seventeenth century Dutch jurist generally regarded as the father of modern international law, the fellowships acknowledge superior academic and professional achievement in all areas of law and recognize the promise of a distinguished legal career following graduate study.
In making its selections, the Fellowship Committee evaluates an applicant's commitment to academic excellence, seriousness and depth of purpose, and promise of professional success, and takes a particular interest in an applicant's pursuit of a career in academia or public service. In a typical year, between 30 and 40 percent of the graduate students attending the University of Michigan Law School have been selected as Grotius Fellows.
Grotius Fellows are free to pursue their chosen program of graduate legal study, and are not subject to any additional academic requirements. Past recipients of Michigan Grotius Fellowships have become leaders of the legal profession in their respective home countries and in the international community, serving on the highest courts of their countries, on international courts, and in prominent positions in governments,
international organizations, and academic institutions around the world.
Financial aid recipients are selected only after admissions decisions have been made, among all admitted students who have requested assistance. Michigan Grotius Fellowships are awarded based on a combination of the student's financial need and his or her academic and professional background. Students wishing to apply for a Michigan Grotius Fellowship must complete questions 42 and 43 of the application form.
Due to the many outstanding applications we receive, the demand for FINANCIAL AID always exceeds available funds. Applicants are therefore strongly encouraged to also seek funding elsewhere, from a variety of public and private sources, and to contact their home governments and employers, as well as the U.S. Embassy or Consulate to seek advice and sponsorship for study abroad. Employment during the academic year is strongly discouraged.
Students admitted to our program are often successful in securing outside funding. Recent students have received financial support from their employers (law firms, companies, government agencies, and universities) , from a range of government and private scholarships such as Fulbright, Muskie, Amideast, DAAD, BAEF, SOROS, and Rotary, as well as from loan programs in their home countries. The American Association of University Women (AAUW) offers fellowships for non-U.S. citizens or permanent residents -- please refer to their Web site at www.aauw.org for specific
criteria and detailed information. Like most funding sources, the AAUW requires early application. A special educational loan program for non-permanent U.S. residents or citizens is offered by the Global Student Loan Corporation (www.globalslc. com).
PEP, LAWEXCEL, and PLATO are U.S.-sponsored loan programs available to international students who can provide a U.S. citizen or permanent resident as a cosigner. The following U.S.-sponsored loan programs are available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents: Stafford Loans, Law Access Loans, Law Student Loans, and MI-Loans. Students eligible for U.S.-sponsored loan programs should contact the Law School Office of Financial Aid, lawfinaid@umich. edu or 734.764.5289, for more information.
Please note that University regulations do not permit tuition to be waived.

PhD Studentship in Hormone Replacement Therapy - University of Surrey
PhD Studentship The use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and associated risks
Postgraduate Medical School, Department of Pharmacoepidemiolog y
*Project supervisors: Dr CS de Vries, Professor RDT Farmer, Dr JC Stevenson*
Applications are invited from suitably qualified graduates (2:1 or above) for a full-time PhD studentship to work on the efficacy and safety of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT has been used widely for the relief of menopausal symptoms and the prevention and treatment of post-menopausal osteoporosis. Publication and interpretation of results from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) and the Million Women Study (MWS), however, has created uncertainty about the safety of HRT amongst both clinicians and patients. The successful applicant will use data from the General Practice Research Database in an epidemiological study to describe the use of HRT, its efficacy and associated risks. There will be a particular focus on how
the use of HRT affects the risk of acute myocardial infarction and breast cancer.
The successful applicant will be registered for a PhD (MPhil in the first instance) in the Postgraduate Medical School, University of Surrey. The studentship is available for three years and provides a postgraduate stipend starting from £12,500 per annum.
The post will be based in the Department of Pharmacoepidemiolog y at the University of Surrey's Postgraduate Medical School (PGMS), a research-led facility for translational medical research and postgraduate teaching. The successful applicant will work under the day-to-day supervision of the Head of Department (Dr C de Vries) and in close collaboration with Professor Farmer and Dr Stevenson. Potential applicants should note that this PhD studentship is research-based and a capacity and aptitude for independent learning is essential. The work will involve epidemiological design and analysis of a relational medical database and therefore, prior experience with data manipulation in relational database management programmes such as Microsoft Access is advantageous. The successful applicant will be expected
to submit research work for publication and for presentation at national and international conferences and to be available to travel within or outside the UK as necessary. In addition, the successful applicant will contribute to and participate in the Department's in-house training program (teaching sessions, journal club).
PGMS achieved a 5*A rating in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). The Department of Pharmacoepidemiolog y has a well-established international reputation for its research in drug safety.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr C de Vries:
c.de-vries@surrey. ac.uk, +44 1483 688594
