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.

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.

UK: Birkdale Trust PhD Studentship in Psychology

The growth of sexual understanding in deaf children.
The School of Psychological Sciences are inviting applications for a distinguished three-year Birkdale Trust funded PhD studentship available from April 2007. The project will provide an annual stipend of 14,000GBP plus full UK/EU tuition fees and a grant for consumables.

The majority of deaf children are placed within the mainstream of education. The perceptual affects of deafness present challenges that make this group of learners more vulnerable to misunderstanding or missing information in class. It is also recognised that the current system of Personal and Social Health Education (PSHE) is patchy, and in many schools delivered by under-trained, poorly prepared teachers. This can have a serious impact on the decisions children and young people make in their lives, such as becoming sexually active before they are ready as well as failing to understand the risk of unintended pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (Martinez, 2006). This project will investigate the knowledge and understanding of deaf children regarding their sexual health. The project aims to bridge the gap between standard PSHE information available in mainstream schools and the specific needs of deaf learners in this area.

The successful candidate will have access to the vibrant postgraduate community within the Audiology and Deafness Research Group. Applications are encouraged from highly motivated candidates holding (or expecting to obtain) a 1st or upper 2nd class degree in psychology, social care, child development or other relevant subject area. Given the nature of the PhD it is expected that any candidate would hold excellent personal communication skills.

For further information about the research project please email Ms Wendy McCracken at: wendy.mccracken@manchester.ac.uk

Applications should be made in the form of a letter of application, CV and two completed references submitted to:

David Parry
Graduate Secretary
