United Nations University Scholarships 2010
Every year UNU-IAS and UNU-ISP offer PhD and Postdoctoral Fellowships to provide young scholars and policy-makers, especially from the developing world, with a multi-disciplinarily context within which to pursue advanced research and training that is of professional interest to the successful applicant and of direct relevance to the research agenda of their selected UNU-IAS or UNU-ISP programme. Application Deadline: 28 February 2010
The fellowship programme provides the successful applicant with a unique opportunity to:
* develop and advance their research under the supervision of a UNU-IAS or UNU-ISP faculty member and contribute to the overall research agenda of the Institute,
* widen their research interests and professional networks by working in the international and multi-disciplinary context of the UNU-IAS and UNU-ISP, and with its wider network of Japanese universities and research institutes, as well as international collaborators,
* become exposed to the workings of the international and multilateral policy process and the broader UN system, and
* link with other UNU-IAS and UNU-ISP PhD and Postdoctoral Fellows.
The Fellows are resident at UNU-IAS in Yokohama, UNU-IAS OUIK in Kanazawa, or UNU-ISP in Tokyo, Japan for the full term of the fellowship. This gives the PhD and Postdoctoral Fellows the opportunity to gain from the broader research programme of lectures, seminars, workshops and conferences arranged by UNU-IAS and UNU-ISP. UNU’s close institutional links with Japanese affiliated professors and researchers from key universities and think tanks in Japan and around the world also allows Fellows to link into the broader Japanese academic and research community. Since the start of the fellowship programme at UNU-IAS in 1996, more than 180 young scholars, 70% of which from the developing world, have benefited from collaboration with UNU-IAS/UNU-ISP and Japanese scholars in this way. Applications will be invited for the following three fellowship types:

I am kindly asking if i can get a scholarship
Am a Rwandan who is a Diploma holder in Library and Information Science. I would wish to join a University that offers Information Science so that I can complete my Degree and even go for Masters. This due to the fact that Records Management is an Issue in Rwanda and am certain that I can be an asset in this field. Please is there any help in this field? Any support still in this field? The only University I have just contacted is the University of South africa and am still waiting for their response.
Best Regards
Eugene.
Dear Sir/Madam;
I am Nandar Nwe Oo; I was born on 19.08.1978 in Ayeyarwaddy Division, Myanmar. I was borned with seven months old and I have only 3lbs weight. I am a physically handicapped person especially C.P. I have suffered from right sided hemipareris due to neonatal jaundice. My father is Director of Aung Shwe Pwint company .He was B.Ecom Degree holder at University of Yangon . My mother was a B.Sc degree holder majoring in Physics. I have one younger brother and he got B.E ( civil) and He is an Assistance Director in Department of Central Training School. My younger brother is married but I am single.
Education
My high school student life was in Ayeyarwaddy and Yangon Divisions in Myanmar. I passed the matriculation examination at Yangon in 1996 with two distinctions. I continued my education at Dagon University from 1999 to 2004 and at Yangon University from 2004 to 2006. I completed my B.Sc ( Hons:) majoring in Mathematics in 2004. I continued my education at the same University and I got my M.Sc ( Engineering Mathematics ) degree in 2006.
Experience
Actually I am ambitious to get Ph.D degree at Yangon University. But it is inconvenient for me as it is only possible for University teachers. On the other side, it is very difficult to be a tutor or demonstrator at University especially for person with disabilities like me. Therefore I am working at family company as a supervisor and executive member of NGO at Myanmar Physically Handicapped Association. This is meant for getting some family income and waiting for opportunity to continue my education. My present work is based on construction and community based rehabilitation and development of disable people in our country. You may see our association’s activities on our website:
http://www.myanmarphysicallyhandicappedassociation,org .
Awards
I have never been applying for oversea training or awards as it is very inconvenient for private civilian like me. On the other side I was ignorant to seek some opportunities through internet websites. On the other side I was ignorant to seek some opportunities through internet websites to get some sponsorship from appropriate group or association. Now I find out this Scholarship Program and this is the first time to apply foreign scholarship award.
Topic of research
Statistics:
I set up my mathematical models of processes and systems that are affected by “chance”. In
Mathematical Statistics, I find out these models against the reality, to determine whether they are
faithful and accurate enough for practical purpose. Finally, this purpose is making conclusions about properties of the population. according to those conclusions, we can use those data as based for making predictions, decisions and actions, for instance, in whether forecast or market analysis or traffic planning, in developing economical plans, in buying raw materials or machines or equipment, in methods of advertising and selling products, in taking action against dangerous discuses, and so on. So I did my first approach in their teams and then I continued samples
and their means. Secondly I tried to approach Statistical Methods with points and interval
estimation of parameters and continue with hypothesis testing and application, goodness to fit (test
for distribution functions), and some nonparametric tests. The last one or my recently works are deals with pairs of measurements and regression analysis, but I have not done well yet.
Lattices and Boolean Algebras
I also set up my mathematical models of processes and systems that are affected by making
inroads into diverse mathematical disciplines and has already made its presence felt in the fields of
Topology, Analysis, Algebra, Geometry, Probability and Logic. I engaged in research is finding it a
useful tool in my respective fields. And I believe that Boolean algebra is a mathematical foundation
of switching algebra and its application to computer is no secret. At the period of my Master Degree, I studied Set Theory and Number Theory at first, next the ordered sets and lattices, and then we discussed modular and distributive lattices (which have played a significant role in the development of this fields). Finally, I deal with the results pertaining to Boolean algebras and applications especially to switching algebras with an eye on simplification and design of circuits. This is thee last one or my recently works and I have not done well yet.
Applied Mathematics
Applied Mathematics Group – the main interests of the group are fluid mechanics, mathematical
chemistry and reaction-diffusion systems and mathematical biology. In fluid mechanics, we study
freesurfaceflows, bubble dynamics, biological fluid mechanics, moving contact lines and
hydrodynamic stability. In the related areas of Mathematical Chemistry and reaction diffusion systems there is research into cement hydration, micelle formation, solid oxide fuel cells, chemical waves and clock reactions. Theoretical & Computational Optimization Group – the main focus of
the research activity of the group is on mathematical theory and methods applicable to managerial
decision-making, particularly non-linear, discrete, and multi-criteria optimization. Research is
typically a mixture of theoretical investigation and practical application or industrial collaboration.
Statistics Group – The main interests of this group are multivariate nonparametric statistics, nonparametric smoothing and wavelet based methods, time series analysis, mutual information,
statistical computing, applications in bioinformatics and neuroscience. The group also has
strong inter-disciplinary research links with other internationally acclaimed research groups.
Pure Mathematics
The Pure Mathematics group contributes to research in various parts of algebra, model theory,
combinatorics, set theory and analysis. Birmingham is recognized, nationally and internationally, as
one of the leading centers in the European Union for research in group theory, including pro-finite
groups, groups acting on trees, construction and generation of sporadic simple groups, and
representations of groups.
So I want to not only attend this M.Sc. (Taught) Mathematical Finance Class also get a scholarship award to get my serious ambition.
Please give me some advice for that if you can and which qualifications I have needed to get the scholarship award and attended this training.
Please contact me freely if you have any question.
I am looking forward to hear the good news from you.
Yours sincerely:
Nandar Nwe Oo
