Overview Many areas of research and commerce are becoming increasingly dependent on the use of data and computational resources that are distributed over the internet. This programme aims to provide students with an understanding of the techniques used to provide these distributed computational capabilities and to prepare them for a career applying them in either academia or the commercial IT sector. Edinburgh is one the major centres of research into the application of distributed computing technologies to support science. This domain is often called e-Science, and Edinburgh is the home of the UK National e-Science Centre (NeSC), run in collaboration with the University of Glasgow. The University of Edinburgh has built upon that the expertise to develop a unique MSc programme in Distributed Scientific Computing, which may be taken full-time in one year or part-time in two or three years. The core courses in the MSc are taught by staff from NeSC, the School of Physics and Astronomy and the School of Informatics who are at the forefront of research and training in the field, while students can choose from a wide range of options, to create a syllabus tailored to their individual interests and career goals. The programme comprises lectures, practical exercises, tutorials and individual study, and will be assessed by a combination of exams and coursework, with the coursework including individual and group assignments Careers Prospects The MSc prepares students from a range of backgrounds for a number of different careers: 1.Science graduates will develop expertise which will help them succeed in doctoral research in a field related to their first degree or in the development of e-Science technologies or techniques or, equally, they may embark on a career developing software to support scientific research, in either academia or the commercial sector. 2.Computer science graduates can undertake doctoral research in a range of areas within computer science and e-Science or can move into software development, either in support of scientific research or within those parts of the commercial IT sector that use distributed computing technologies. 3.Those coming from a commercial IT job will develop expertise in distributed computing which may open up new opportunities for them within the commercial IT sector or see them move into scientific software development. Students from the first few MSc classes have followed almost all these paths. Entry Requirements Applications are encouraged from graduates of all areas of science, engineering and computer science, and from those currently working in a relevant field. Entrance requirements are a good honours degree or equivalent work experience, and proven competence in computer programming. Further information Further information about the programme can be found online at www.nesc.ac.uk/msc.

Overview These awards reflect the fact that the boundaries between international development policy and domestic policy increasingly parallel similar problems in developing countries so that both Canada and the less developed countries benefit from research on these issues. The complexities of national economic and social development in Canada are increasingly evident, and are often related to international issues. Similarly Canadian trade, investment, immigration and other policies often affect development in less developed countries. These awards will support research that illustrates these interrelationships. In principle, IDRC supports research on all parts of the developing regions of the world. At this time, Fellowships and Awards is not supporting awards which involve research in Burma, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Eastern Europe or Central Asia. Special Feature of this Award Successful candidates will propose comparative research requiring data from both Canada and a developing country to better understand the common, interrelated problem/issue, identified by the applicant. Selection will favor proposals that demonstrate: – the relevance of the research topic for Canada and for the developing country or countries being studied; and – the close linkage between the international and national component of the topic. Successful proposals will also identify the potential for Canada and the developing country to learn from one another in dealing with the shared problem or issue. Two Types of Canadian Window on International Development Awards 1) IDRC offers one award for doctoral research that explores the relationship between Canadian aid, trade, immigration, diplomatic policy, etc, and international development and the alleviation of global poverty. 2) A second award will be granted for doctoral or master’s research into a problem that is common to First Nations or Inuit communities in Canada and a developing region of the world. Eligibility Applicants must: – Hold Canadian citizenship or permanent residency status in Canada, or hold a citizenship of a developing country; – Be registered at a Canadian university; – Be conducting the proposed research for a doctoral or Master’s dissertation; – Must have completed course work and passed comprehensive examinations by the time of the award tenure. Please note: Master’s level students are only eligible to apply for the award pertaining to research into the First Nations or Inuit communities and a developing country. Duration Award tenure corresponds to a period of field research, which will be no less than 3 months and, in general, no more than 12 months. Value A maximum of $20,000 per year will be awarded, to cover justifiable field research expenses. Candidates must propose a budget that covers the costs of fieldwork in Canada and/or other developing countries. Please note that living expenses incurred at the researcher’s home base will not be supported. Number of Awards 2 to 3 per year, depending on the final budget of the proposals. Deadlines April 1, 2010 (awards will be announced in September 2010). Applications Candidates must secure a short statement (no longer than 1 page, single-spaced, using a 12 pitch font) from their thesis supervisor which: 1) explains how he or she sees the proposed research conforming with the overall objective of this award to better understand an aspect of Canada’s development in the light of comparative research on social, economic, political, cultural etc. issues in a developing region of the world; 2) explains how the candidate’s proposal fits within the research interests of the department in which the student is registered. Applications will be evaluated according to criteria, such as relevance to sustainable and equitable development and to IDRC priorities, quality of the research proposal and suitability of the candidate. Re-applicants, whose research proposal was reviewed and was unsuccessful, must explain, in a covering letter, what changes have been made since the last application and specify where to find the changes in the proposal. Please note that Centre policy stipulates that an individual cannot apply more than twice, if unsuccessful, for the same IDRC award. However, this policy does not apply for Internship Awards. If there are ethical questions connected with the research, the applicant may, at IDRC’s discretion, be required to submit the appropriate approval for the Ethic’s Committee of the University. How to apply Please submit all documents listed in the List of Supporting Documents to be Submitted . Complete applications must be received at the Centre by the deadline.
