‍‍The Franco – Thai Scholarship Program of the Embassy of France in Thailandhttps://www.francothai-science.com/franco-thai-scholarship-programDeadline: February 19, 2026In Partnership withThe Franco – Thai Scholarship Program of the Embassy of France in Thailand aims to support Thai students under aged of 35 years old who intend to study in universities or higher education institutions in France for their Master’s degree or PhD. Open to all fields of study, this program is based on a highly selective call for candidates in order to strengthen high level exchanges between France and Thailand.The Franco-Thai scholarship is granted for the period necessary to obtain the degree: one or two years for a Master’s Degree and three years for a PhD.‍In case of co-supervision, the scholarship will only be granted for the periods spent in France.‍If the curriculum requires some course works which will take place outside France, the scholarship will be suspended during that period. ‍The Franco-Thai scholarship program offers two types of scholarships:‍Full scholarship:‍The full scholarship benefits include:- A monthly allowance;- A roundtrip ticket;- Social protection;- Advantages as the French government's grant holder.‍Social Protection Scholarship/Bourse de Couverture Sociale:‍Social Protection Scholarship or “Bourse de Couverture Sociale” gives access to a specific status, enabling candidates to benefit from social protection in France and other specific advantages (exemption from visa fees, CVEC fees and tuition fees for some public higher education institutions’ program,...). The “Bourse de Couverture Sociale” can only be granted if a cost-sharing agreement insures a monthly allowance to the scholar, since it will not be provided by the Franco-Thai program for this type of scholarship.‍Cost-sharing:‍Both Master and PhD Applicants are highly encouraged to look for other sources of funding not only from his/her own local or foreign university but also from private sector. A specific attention will be given to academic applicants who have found other sources of funding for their project.Some doctoral schools ask for a higher monthly income than the monthly allowance granted by this scholarship program. Students applying to those doctoral schools have to check and coordinate with the French laboratory or doctoral school to secure additional funding.‍‍Tuition fees‍Please note that the Franco-Thai Scholarship Program does not cover tuition fees.For some Master’s taught in French at a public university and for PhD programs, being a scholar of the French Government will entail that the tuition fees will be lifted. It is the candidate’s responsibility to check the amount of the tuition fees for the program he/she is applying to.‍In order to identify grant recipients, the selection committee will consider: - The candidate’s skills and merit as borne out by his/her academic record and professional background; - The quality of the study plan. Contacts with the Master’s degree or thesis supervisors and progress of the project submitted will also be taken into account; - The strong and firm interest of the candidate in pursuing studies with regards to his/her previous studies and professional project; - The level of proficiency in foreign languages (French or English) and its adequacy with the intended curriculum; - Other sources of funding to support the project; - For PhDs applicants, the selection committee will favor PhDs under joint supervision and commitment of Thai and French supervisors will be decisive.

PhD Call for Applications SummaryAcademic Year 2025/2026 – 41st CycleDeadline: 6 June 2025Research Field: Professions and applied sciencesRead more at https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/funding/phd-2025/26-data-scienceApplicationThe Call for Applications for the 2025/2026 PhD Programs is officially open. Applicants, regardless of their nationality, age and gender are invited to submit their applications. Applicants can find all essential information in the relevant paragraphs of this guide.Further information along with possible modifications to, requirements, submission procedures, available positions and/or scholarships, will be given, before the deadline, through the pages:• https://dottorati.uniroma2.it/corsi-di-dottorato_p10297.aspx• https://dottorati.uniroma2.it/corsi-di-dottorato_p10299.aspx AboutOutlineThe availability of huge volumes of data, basically characterized by the increasingly extensive and pervasive use of digital technologies, leads the ongoing revolution in many areas of social, economic and industrial reality, posing new challenges to the scientific and technological research in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and in several other disciplines, from Physics to Economics, from Medicine to Human Sciences. In this context, the accessibility and processing of large amounts of data, both in centralized and distributed systems, their usage in the design and implementation of complex decision-making models, favors the study and development of autonomous systems in different fields (from mission-critical applications to the studies of natural and social phenomena, the prediction of economical dynamics as well as the diagnostics and planning in medicine or in industrial robotics). The PhD in Data Science is aimed, in its markedly interdisciplinary nature, to train, at the highest level, experts able to conduct research to understand and master the mathematical, statistical and computer science methodologies of data analysis and processing as well as the underlying technologies supporting applications in a wide variety of of scientific, industrial, economic, medical and social contexts. The reasons for a new PhD program in Data Science are many and significant. First of all, the offer in Central Italy of a doctoral training on these topics is still quite limited, but at the same time it is confronted with an increasing demand for experts in Data Science. This training should be understood with a characterization focused on mathematical-computer science skills, then a strong scientific-technological vocation, properly integrated on established statistical, economic, social and linguistic principles, thus able to give answers to the dynamics of this area of expertise that is very accelerated and strongly interdisciplinary and culturally heterogeneous. The School of Doctorate represents the indispensable ground for a wide range of students of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Economics, Physics, Mathematics and not only, at our University of Tor Vergata. Today such students apply and succeed (according to various data sources) at other Schools. These students are attracted by initiatives in Data Science because in them is clear and dominant the role played by the computational knowledge, the strong scientific character of the educational objectives and the diversified potential applications: from Physics to Economics up to Social Sciences. It is interesting to note that many of the courses mentioned here, for example, the Master Degree Courses in Computer Science at the Department of Business Engineering, which have a large number of students, unlike other courses are not decreasing in number of enrolled students. This phenomenon is both cause and effect of the centrality that the themes of culture and digital transformation play in the industrial and social spheres of our country.See PHD IN DATA SCIENCE | TOR VERGATA

Application Deadline: 1 Nov 2024 - 20:00 (Europe/Paris)Organisation/Company: Université de StrasbourgDepartment: Centre Européen de Sciences Quantiques - Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires (ISIS)Research Field: Physics » Quantum mechanicsResearcher Profile: First Stage Researcher (R1)Positions: PhD PositionsOffer DescriptionThe development of new quantum technologies heavily relies on benchmarks against numerical simulations. However, accurately simulating quantum systems made of many constituents is exponentially complex, especially for the dynamical processes essential to many computations in fundamental physics, in quantum chemistry or in material science. Existing methods typically face the “exponential wall of complexity” which drastically limits our ability to describe complex quantum states of matter. There is an urgent need for methods that provide precise, reliable predictions for large quantum systems and pave the way for future breakthroughs. To tackle this very ambitious problem, we propose to restrict to a specific family of quantum many-body systems that undergo ‘nearly integrable’ dynamics, meaning that their dynamics on experimental time scales is non-chaotic and is governed by a proximate integrable model. Recent theory progress suggests that this family of systems is particularly promising for the development of new computational methods. This problem will be attacked through the prism of concrete toy models in one spatial dimension (spin chains), where the goal is to (i) identify quantifiers based on entanglement and quantum information concepts that are sensitive to the type of dynamics (integrable vs. chaotic) and allow to distinguish between them and (ii) develop new geometries of Tensor Network variational wavefunctions that can accurately approximate the time evolution of the many-body wavefunction and circumvent the exponential wall of complexity.The PhD position is for 3 years, and the PhD candidate will be supervised by Jerome Dubail at the Centre Europeen de Sciences Quantiques in Strasbourg, France.Where to apply: E-mail: j.dubail@unistra.frRequirementsResearch Field: Physics » Quantum mechanicsEducation Level: Master Degree or equivalentLink: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/271235Website: https://www.cesq.eu/

Deadline: 15 July 2024AboutOutlineThe Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg (HWK) in Delmenhorst is an Institute for Advanced Study in the Northwest of Germany. Its Fellowship program offers outstanding researchers the opportunity to focus on research without the distraction of everyday routines in academia, to interact with colleagues from other disciplines, and to benefit from a diverse and vibrant Fellowship community. The HWK awards Fellowships to highly qualified researchers of all career levels from postdoctoral to senior researchers. With these Fellowships, the HWK supports interdisciplinary and international collaboration both, between its Fellows and research institutions in Germany’s Northwest region, and within the community of Fellows residing on the HWK campus.What is fundedThe HWK awards Fellowships to highly qualified researchers of all career levels from postdoctoral to senior researchers. Regular Fellowships are available for researchers whose PhD (or comparable degree) has been awarded more than five years ago and who have already gained substantial professional experience in academia and research.Junior Fellowships are available for early career researchers whose PhD has been awarded less than five years ago and who have gained first professional experience in academia and research. Both, a continuation of previous research activities, or starting a new strand of research by using the expertise in the Northwestern region, are welcome, this includes crossing disciplinary boundaries.DurationFellowship duration ranges from 3 to 10 months. Residence at the HWK is obligatory. Financial conditions are to be negotiated on an individual basis after successful application. Depending on the Fellowship project, Regular Fellowships and Junior Fellowships can be awarded for a minimum of three and a maximum of ten months. Regular Fellowships may be split into no more than two periods of residence, provided that accommodation is available at the HWK. Junior Fellowships cannot be split. EligibilityExcellent researchers with a PhD from all disciplines and from all parts of the world (except northwestern Germany) are welcome to apply. We also accept applications involving experimental and lab research; in these cases confirmation of access to research infrastructure at a nearby institution is required.Fellows are selected based on the following criteria:the candidate’s academic qualification,the quality and the innovative character of the candidate’s proposed research project,the candidate’s willingness to contribute to and to profit from a highly interdisciplinary Fellowship community,the fit of the proposed project with the spectrum of disciplines and research interests at the HWK.Collaborations with colleagues at the regional universities and research institutes are appreciated but in general, they are not a necessary condition for a Fellowship. They are necessary, however, when the applicant plans to conduct an experimental project and thus needs a research infrastructure for their project. In that case, a regional collaboration partner will have to confirm that they will provide the necessary infrastructure to work on the Fellowship project.Researchers based at institutions in the Northwestern region of Germany cannot apply for Regular or Junior Fellowships. They are encouraged, however, to motivate national or international colleagues to apply for Fellowships.More Information: https://hanse-ias.de/en/fellowships/application?mtm_campaign=Annual%20Call%2020…
