[UK] The Julius Nyerere Master's Scholarship

Deadline: April 1, 2010

The University of Edinburgh will offer a Scholarship to a student from Tanzania for postgraduate Master's study in any subject offered by the University for the 2010-2011 academic session.

The Julius Nyerere Scholarship was set up in 2009 in memory of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere who led Tanganyika to independence in 1961 and became the first prime minister and later president of Tanzania. Nyerere received a scholarship in 1949 to attend the University of Edinburgh where he obtained a Masters of Arts degree in Economics and History. He was the first Tanzanian to study at a British University and only the second to gain a University degree outside Africa.

The Julius Nyerere Master's Scholarship will cover the full overseas tuition fee, living costs of £10,000, and a return flight from Tanzania to the UK. In 2010-2011 the tuition fees and living costs will be covered by the University of Edinburgh, while the return flights will be covered by the Tanzania Edinburgh Community Association.

The scholarship will be tenable for one academic year.

Completed application forms must be returned to the Scholarships and Student Finance Office no later than 1 April 2010.

UK : PhD Studentship Ethical Implications of ICT in Personal Health Monitoring, Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility (CCSR)

De Montfort University - Faculty of Technology

A full funded sponsored PhD studentship is available for in the following research area:

Ethical Implications of ICT in Personal Health Monitoring

Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility (CCSR)

CCSR undertakes research, consultancy and advice to individuals, communities, organisations and governments at local, national and international levels on the actual and potential impacts of computing and related technologies on society and its citizens. CCSR is a mature research group with its well-established Information Society Doctoral Programme (ISDP) with currently 25 research students and 23 research graduates.

CCSR holds two European FP7 grants; Ethical Issues of Emerging ICT Applications (ETICA) led by Professor B Stahl (CCSR Reader) and Personalised Health Monitoring: interdisciplinary research to analyse the relationship between ethics, law and psychosocial as well as medical sciences (PHM-Ethics) led by Professor S Rogerson (Director of CCSR).

ETICA identifies the potential ethical issues surrounding emerging ICT within a 10-15 year future window, whilst PHM-Ethics is situated at the development phase of new ICT applications to assess their ethical, legal and psychosocial consequences. There is a valued added opportunity for research, funded through this student bursary, to be undertaken between the ETICA and PHM-Ethics projects. The research will draw upon the forecasts from ETICA and the taxonomy instruments of PHM-Ethics to investigate the ethical implications and social impact of continuing to use advancing ICT in individual health monitoring scenarios.

This research will be done at a national rather than European level with empirical investigations being undertaken both at General Practices and Hospital Trusts. The outcome will be an empirically grounded ethical analysis of the impact of ICT on personal health monitoring within the UK. It will provide valuable input into future health policy and act as a platform for future grant application in the area of health informatics.

The supervisory team will comprise Dr N Ben Fairweather, Senior Research Fellow, who has undertaken published research on electronic patient records, Dr M Shaw, CCSR Research Associate who is a medical Consultant in public health and Dr N K McBride, Reader who has undertaken published research in NHS information systems. This research is multidisciplinary, focuses on one of the university’s overall research themes and has the potential to involve the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences either on this project or on spin-off future grant proposals.
