Hello, CIHR has received extra funding and as a result they are asking universities to submit additional CIHR CGSM applications. Please see the following email from CIHR for details. I am asking for your assistance in contacting students who are CIHR eligible and encouraging them to complete an application. I've attached the information that was distributed previously for the CIHR CGSM competition, as the same guidelines apply. The application instructions can be found on the CIHR website www.cihr.ca *Please submit complete applications to my attention at 500 University Centre by March 6, 2009.* Due to the very short turnaround time required to meet the CIHR deadline, we will not be following up on missing documents. Incomplete applications will automatically be deemed ineligible. Applicants who applied in December 2008 are not required to reapply as their previously submitted applications will be considered for this submission as well. Thank you for your assistance. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Marcia -------- Original Message -------- Subject: CIHR Canada Graduate Scholarship Master's competition/Concours de bourses d'études supérieures de Cananda bourses à la maîtrise des IRSC Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 10:51:46 -0500 From: Joanne Delage <Joanne.Delage(a)cihr-irsc.gc.ca> To: Canada Graduate Scholarships - Master's Awards (CGSMA) <CanadaGraduateScholarships.MasterAwardsCGSMA(a)cihr-irsc.gc.ca> Le texte français suit l'anglais Important message As announced in the Federal Budget 2009, the Canada Graduate Scholarship (CGS) program received a budget increase starting in 2009-10.

We will accept additional nominations up to the original quota amount that was issued in September, thereby doubling the total amount of nominations from your institution for this competition. We will also accept a second, B-list, of nominations that exceeds this doubling of your quota if your institution feels such additional nominations could be competitive. The latter will only be included in this 2009 Master's competition if there are insufficient nominations from other institutions to address the increased funding availability. If you require additional information on the selection process, please refer to the quotas package that was sent in September. Full applications will be accepted until March 16, 2009.

Cette augmentation s’inscrit dans Le Plan d’action économique du Canada en vue de poursuivre le développement d’une main-d’œuvre hautement qualifiée. En raison de cette augmentation, les Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC) demandent des candidatures supplémentaires pour le concours de BESC – Bourses à la maîtrise du mois de février 2009. Nous accepterons les demandes détaillées que vous jugez méritoires et qui auront été évaluées par votre établissement aux fins de mise en candidature.

The aim of CeSOS is to develop fundamental knowledge for the design and operation of future ships, offshore structures, floating bridges and airports, facilities for aquaculture and production of renewable energy from the oceans by integrating theoretical and experimental research in marine hydrodynamics, structural mechanics and automatic control. The annual budget is about USD 5 million. About eighty researchers are affiliated with the Centre and the annual research effort is about 50 researcher years. CeSOS would like to invite applications for: * CoE1/09: *Postdoctoral Fellowship in Unmanned Aerial Systems *(duration of 1-2 years) We are looking for a young and ambitious researcher with a PhD degree in aerospace and control, and a strong background or interest in unmanned aerial systems. The candidate is expected to be interested in both fundamental and applied research, and in working on the boundary of several research domains. Specifically, the work will involve research on guidance and control systems for both single and multiple unmanned aerial vehicles. The candidate should be prepared to work with PhD students, give seminars at the PhD level, and to work with other researchers in a multi-disciplinary research group. * CoE2/09: *Postdoctoral Fellowship in Guided Cooperative Control of Unmanned Vehicles *(duration of 1-2 years) We are looking for a young and ambitious researcher with a PhD degree in electrical, mechanical, marine or aerospace engineering and control, and a strong background or interest in unmanned vehicles. The candidate is expected to be interested in both fundamental and applied research, and in working on the boundary of several research domains.

Specifically, the work will involve research on change detection and fault-tolerant design of control systems in one out of two areas, dependent on the successful applicant´s background and interest. One area is parametric roll resonance where the purpose is to detect and control the phenomenon before it develops to critical levels. The other is fault-tolerant estimation and control to optimize ship propulsion in waves when a diesel engine is used as prime mover. The candidate should be prepared to work with PhD students, give seminars at the PhD level, and to work with other researchers in a multi-disciplinary research group. For all positions, the candidate must have a strong background in dynamics and control, including both linear and nonlinear control theory. Experience with Matlab and Simulink is also essential.

Full details on the Foundation can be found www.tac-foundation.ca <http://www.tac-foundation.ca> or by contacting the Foundation at foundation(a)tac-atc.ca <mailto:foundation@tac-atc.ca>. Foundation scholarships are intended to provide education assistance in technical areas or disciplines which will contribute to safe, secure, efficient, effective and environmentally and financially sustainable transportation services in support of Canada's social and economic goals. In Canada as a whole, the Foundation's primary focus for educational support (scholarships) is on roadways and their strategic linkages and inter-relationships with other components of the transportation system. In urban areas, the primary focus is on the movement of people, goods and services and its relationship with land use patterns and other transportation modes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *EQUIPP: Enhancing Qualitative Understanding of Illness Process and Prevention * *A CIHR STIHR Program* - click for more info <http://www.uofaweb.ualberta.ca/iiqm/equipp.cfm> EQUIPP is a one-year certificate training program in qualitative methodologies for graduate and post doctoral students and researchers from all disciplines, interested in health research. The program is offered through the University of Alberta under the auspices of the Faculty of Nursing. This program is a Strategic Training Initiative in Health Research (STIHR) currently funded by the Institute of Gender and Health, Canadian Institutes of Health Research (IGH, CIHR). The trans-disciplinary program combines formal classes, interactive seminars, and hands-on research experience to provide the best possible learning experience. Focusing on research methods, rather than any one health care discipline, graduates will return to the workforce prepared to conduct research in any area. Limited fellowship funding is available based on CIHR guidelines. The overall objective of the EQUIPP training program is to prepare new investigators, postdoctoral, doctoral and masters trainees to be leaders in Canada and globally with the highest level of skill in qualitative and mixed method transdisciplinary health research. This objective will be accomplished by 1) enhancing our already developed superior training and mentoring environment; 2) supporting collaboration between trainees and mentors, including those leading transdisciplinary research teams; and 3) providing meaningful training in the ethical conduct of qualitative and mixed method research, facilitating translation of qualitative knowledge, and enhancing professional skills development. The EQUIPP training program is currently in its final year of funding, ending April 2009. The Committee has applied to CIHR for a renewal of funding which, if successful, will enable the program to offer qualitative training for a further six years, starting May 2009. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Community Health and Humanities, Faculty of Medicine, Memorial University of Newfoundland Applications for a tenure track position in *Environmental/Occupational Health* The appointment will be at the Assistant Professor level and salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
