AtoSiM Master of Science Scholarships, France

The 2010-2011 application is now open.

Please send your applications before December 30th 2009.

AtoSim is a one year Physics or Chemistry Masters degree focused on computer modelling of physical, chemical and biomolecular systems.
AtoSim is operated jointly by:

University of Amsterdam, THE NETHERLANDS
Ecole normale supérieure in Lyon, FRANCE
University la Sapienza in Rome, ITALY.
Students choose two of the three organization for their courses and a research project respectively and obtain a double diploma.

This one-year degree provides a high-level qualification in the rapidly expanding field of computer modeling in physical, chemical and bio-molecular sciences. This highly integrated Course covers a full range of techniques: from quantum mechanical atomistic descriptions to coarse-grained mesoscopic models. Particular fields of application include condensed matter and statistical physics, chemistry, physical chemistry, materials science and theoretical bio-molecular science.

The study program is divided into three parts. During the first semester, the students are enrolled in a specialized curriculum in one of the three partner institutions. The Course includes selected modules in physics, chemistry and computer science. Next, they participate in a compulsory “winter school” for a fortnight, organized by the University of Amsterdam. In the second semester they will carry out a research project in a second partner institution. The research project and the first semester courses involve mobility between two different institutions.

Students obtain a double degree from the two institutions in which they are enrolled. Admission into the master degree is decided on the basis of academic excellence by a selection committee composed of representatives from each partner institution. Applicants should have at least four years of prior studies majoring in physics, chemistry, engineering, applied mathematics or bio-informatics. Proof of English proficiency is also required.
