GOVERNMENT OF IRELAND SCHOLARSHIPS IN SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
Description of Scheme & Guidelines for Applicants, 2011
The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET) ‘EMBARK’ Initiative and the Enterprise Partnership Scheme (EPS) offer opportunities for suitably qualified individuals to pursue a postgraduate degree by research. The Scheme supports basic research in the broad areas of Science, Engineering and Technology.

The online application system opens on Wednesday 12th January 2011 for individuals hoping to begin postgraduate research in the Republic of Ireland in 2011. Individuals awarded under the scheme must maintain their principal residence in the Republic of Ireland during the term of the Scholarship. Scholarships must be held at a recognised Higher Education Institution within the Republic of Ireland. Individuals wishing to carry out postgraduate research by registering in Higher Education Institutions outside the Republic of Ireland are not eligible to apply for funding.

Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme 2008

The Embark Initiative`s Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme is designed for either Masters or Doctorate level researchers in the sciences, engineering or technology.

The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering & Technology invites applications for funding from intending postgraduate researchers under the Embark Initiative Postgraduate Research Scholarship Scheme (2008).

The 2008 programme will fund approximately 80 new entrant Masters or Doctorate level researchers in the sciences, engineering and technology.

Project Title
Differential Equations with Hyperelliptic Integral Curves

Description
Methods from twistor theory, differential geometry, algebraic geometry and from the theory of integrable systems have opened up a global view of nonlinear ordinary differential equations in complex variables. The aim of this project is to identify the differential equations in low order and small numbers of variables whose solutions have particularly elegant algebraic geometry, especially those whose solutions are hyperelliptic curves, with a view toward integrable systems and physics.

Salary, fees, PRSI and pension will total over Euro 24000 per year, and Euro 2000 to support travel. Funding from SFI grant MATF634.
