South Korea : Scholarships for International Students : 2009

2009 Scholarships for International Students, Smart Structures Lab, Chonbuk National University, South Korea

We are building a research team of graduate students or post-doctorate for our laboratory. Our projects are related to the application of laser ultrasound technologies and fiber-optics sensors technologies to the non-destructive test and evaluation (NDT&E), and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of important engineering structures, such as wind turbine, space launch vehicle, nuclear power plant, and aircraft. All the projects are application based with supports from the industries or government and have great potential to be commercialized. If you are highly motivated, we want to invite you to join our research team.

Basic Requirements:

• Mechanical / Aeronautics / Aerospace / E&E / Mechatronics engineering background
• Good English language proficiency.

Financial Supports:

• Research assistantship will be provided. Starting pay is 900,000 Korean Won for PhD or 600,000 Korean Won for master. Salary for post-doc is between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 Korean Won.
• Annual increment of 50,000 ~ 100,000 Korean Won.
• Incentive bonus for publication.
• Tuition fee discount depending on the grade of the coursework for each semester. Previous records show that an average student could get 40% discount from the total tuition fee.

Application Semester: Fall 2009

PhD and MS Scholarships at Cheju National University

South Korea: PhD and MS Scholarships at Cheju National University

There are three PhD studentships (only students who have done masters already should apply) for Material Science, Mechanical Engineer and Electronics Engineer and also one Computer or Electronics Engineer at the School of Mechanical Engineering Cheju National University, South Korea at Advance Micro Mechatronics Lab.

Research Background
Research in the silicon industry is maturated considerably. Now inkjet technology is being utilized for developing cheaper and accurate digital devices. Semiconductor giants like Samsung and Hynix are investing huge money in to the electronic printing system. Our research group is carrying research in printed electronics which will be the preferred manufacturing process for RFIDs, flexible panel systems, displays, and sensors in future.

Research Area for PhD Studentship Material Science Engineer
Studying nano-materials, nano-physics and nano-device applications with respect to electrostatic inkjet printing. Study of the polymer based thin films, substrate property, chemical properties of ink and role of nano particles in electrostatic printing will be of main focus of research. Knowledge of laser technology for printing systems, curing method and emerging technologies in printed electronics will be of added advantage.

Research Area for PhD Studentship Mechanical Engineer
Designing of multi-nozzle inkjet system for printed electronics which will include flow regulators, pumping system and control sensors. In addition to this the students is required to perform numerous experiments for the evaluation of proposed printing method. Strong background in controls and micro-fabrication is necessary.

Research Area for PhD Studentship Electronics Engineer
Control of the multinozzle mechanism and control of the substrate with respect to the printing parameters to print different types of electronic devices through Electrostatic Inkjet Printing System. Knowledge of the programming language and machine interface is necessary.

Research Area for MS Studentship Computer Engineer
Strong knowledge of C++ and MFC programming is required. The person will be working on the integration of the systems and real-time control.

Selection Criteria
The main criteria of selection is GPA (must be above 3.0). Beside GPA research proposal, resume and good communication skill in English (TOEFL or IELTS) will be considered.

Interested candidate please forward their copy of transcript, research proposal and resume at amm@cheju.ac.kr and khalidrah@gmail.com mentioning the post in the subject.

Korea: POSCO Asia Fellowship for Master

Korea: POSCO Asia Fellowship for Master, Graduate School of International Studies in Seoul National University

The POSCO Asia Fellowship is a scholarship program designed to invite promising Asian graduate students to the Master’s Program at the Graduate School of International Studies(GSIS), Seoul National University(SNU), supporting their studies at one of the most prestigious institutions of higher learning in Korea. The fellowship, offered by the POSCO TJ Park Foundation, covers full tuitions for up to 4 semesters at GSIS-SNU and monthly living stipends for two years in Korea.

A total of 9 fellowships for this year have been awarded to students from Asia. The POSCO Asia Fellowship Foundation has continued to expand the scope of its social contributions and hopes to provide additional Asian countries with more scholarships in the future. For the Master’s program at GSIS SNU AY 2008, Asian universities are invited to recommend students to the Fellowship.

Fellowships are provided to promote mutual understanding between Asian countries and Korea, and to strengthen professional abilities of Asian elite students. Knowledge sharing projects such as the POSCO Asia Fellowship hope to benefit the different societies, economies, and cultures of the world.
