PhD Scholarship University of Southern Denmark
A PhD scholarship is available at The Department of Maritime Research and Innovation (DMRI) of the University of Southern Denmark and Marstal School of Navigation (MARNAV). The scholarship is financed by the Danish Maritime Trust Fund, and aims to attract ambitious and skilled applicants with a global mindset and an interest in doing business oriented research.
Founded in 2005, DMRI is a relatively new department at the University of Southern Denmark’s Esbjerg campus. DMRI’s research program encompasses the following areas: a) global shipping markets and framework conditions, b) development of efficient maritime organisations through leadership and innovation, c) development dynamics in the Danish maritime cluster, d) designing efficient maritime transport systems and ports for short sea shipping. In contrast, MARNAV has a much longer history; there has been a school of navigation in Marstal, Denmark since 1860. MARNAV currently trains navigators for the Danish commercial shipping fleet. In recent years, the crews aboard commercial ships controlled by Danish interests have become international; ratings and officers are recruited from countries such as the Philippines, India, China, Viet Nam, the Baltic States, Poland, Russia and the Ukraine. Moreover, an EU Court has ruled that ship officers from all EU countries have the right to apply for employment on ships registered in the ship registers of all EU countries. On this basis, DMRI and MARNAV perceive a need to contribute with research, dissemination and development of teaching materials on the crew resource management-issues related to international crews. This research project will become a part of the above-mentioned research area b).
On this basis, we invite applications for the three-year PhD scholarship from persons with a relevant Master degree in the social sciences, business, the humanities, business psychology or pedagogy. Although the employed student will be inscribed at MDRI in Esbjerg a part of his/her working time will be spent at MARNAV in Mars¬tal. He or she must live in Denmark during the duration of the scholarship, except during the foreign research stay, as explained below.
Its main purpose is to improve the workplace environment on commercial ships owned by Danish interests through research in for instance:
• The expectations that Danish officers have concerning foreign officers and ratings’ behaviour on board ship
• The effects of frequent changes in crew composition on ship management and what shipowners can do to accommodate for potential adverse effects
• The expectations concerning management on board ship and officer behaviour in general that crew members from the Philippines, India, China, Viet Nam and Eastern Europe have
• To what extent diversity in expectations plays a role in relation to effectiveness, safety and the quality of life on board ship
• To what extent teaching in cross-national cooperation and in dealing with the problems that cul¬tural differences may cause is part of the above-mentioned countries’ maritime education programs
• If such teaching is in place, its quality and suitability should be assessed
• How to organise teaching and other learning activities concerning these aspects in Danish maritime education programs toward the goal of maintaining or improving effectiveness, safety and quality of life on board ship
• The influence that shipowners’ crewing policies or possible changes in these have on ship management
As part of the PhD program, an individual PhD education program composed of PhD-level courses, seminars, active participation at conferences and workshops must be completed. PhD-level course acti¬vities must add up to 30 ECTS points. The successful applicant will be expected to acquire experience of teaching and other types of presentation at MARNAV and other relevant maritime insti¬tutions. As a part of his/her PhD students, the successful applicant is also expected to have a guest re¬search stay at a relevant maritime research department outside of Denmark. Beyond this, the success¬ful applicant must be willing to make several research voyages on board commercial ships.
The scholarship is financed by the Danish Maritime Trus Fund. Therefore, it is expected that results from the research project are of a nature that they can be used to develop teaching materials as well as recommendations for maritime schools around the world and the shipping industry in Denmark. The translation of research into didactical materials and recommendations is however not expected to be a part of the Ph.D. programme itself.

Dear sir
I am neda mohamadi,I’m interested in Biology as a whole but mainly focused on plant physiology, phytochemistry , and plant biotechnology. Following my MSc. Graduation in plant physiology (Feb 2006), I tried so hard to find a group or lab (in Tehran, Iran) interested in plant biotechnology, but more I tried,less I found. Finally, I accepted to become a research assistant in Tehran university and devoted my off hours to my favorite field of phytochemistry. I learned HPLC,electrophoresis ,PCR and read related books and research papers, and made a research group with my friend (Peyman Rajaie). After more than one year of learning and practicing together,we started our research practically. Since then, we have submitted two papers(Analysis of the carotenoid phgments stigmas of different Corcus species by HPLC, Phytochemistery study of some species of Jurinae).
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or requests for further documentation.
Thank you very much for your concideration.
Yours sincerely,
Neda Mohamadi.
Dear sir
My name is naima mohammadi. I am holding a research in M.A Degree in sociology from Al- Zahra University (Tehran,Iran). I am writing to you so that I might be considered for the open PhD position in your group that is advertised on the net.
The M.A research which I completed was jointly administered by the Department of family research institute. As a result, I acquired broad foundations about women situation in polygamous Families in Zahedan. I Published 2 papers in quarterly journal of science (Tehran, Iran). This Thesis was selected as the best researches on family in the first national family research festival in 14 May, 2008. It was useful experiences in cultural anthropology and ethnography fields, too.
I had done a research about social situation of women who are headed in family after the earthquake in Bam, before (B.A). I was there about 2 years. Finally, I presented its result in an international multi-conference in December 2006(Tehran, Iran). I published another article on earthquake stricken and welfare in national seminar in 2005. I published an article in scientific and research quarterly journal of social sciences, too (Tehran, Iran).
Following my M.A. graduation (oct 2008), I tried so hard to find an active researcher’s group (Tehran,Iran), but more I tried, less I found. Finally, I accepted in UNESCO chair for Human rights, peace and Democracy of shahid Beheshti University (Tehran, Iran). I did some researches about “contemporary challenges in the protection of Minorities and venerable Groups” I had common academic activities with Prof. Joshua Castellino in UNITED NATIONS. I sent a report of my experiences about social position of Iranian women in Bam and zahedan for Krantijyoti Savitribai Phule women’s studies center (Puna, India). These projects helped me to expand my knowledge and experience in Workshops, Seminars, and Conferences.
During my employment, I devoted my off hours to my favorite fields such as women studies (gender identities), new social movements, human rights and family institution as one of the most important social structures.
Enclosed please find a copy of my curriculum vitae and names and e-mails of three references. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or requests for further documentation. I may be reached at the address listed in the letterhead, above.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
