Microsoft PhD Internship 2009

[The Punisher]

Υποτροφίες για διδακτορικά εως 100κ ευρώ ανά φοιτητή, από το Microsoft Research. Στο παρελθόν έχουν υπάρξει και έλληνες υπότροφοι, οπότε αξίζει την προσπάθεια.. Δείτε παρακάτω πληροφορίες (και ακόμα περισσότερες στα σχετικά Links)

http://research.microsoft.com/ero/icd/phd/

Deadline: 10 September 2008

As previous years, applications must be made by PhD supervisors not by students. Supervisors will be informed of the decision in November 2008 and will then have up to a year to find the best student possible for the proposed project. Students will typically start their PhD in October 2009.

The page also contains a link to a number of open PhD positions sponsored by Microsoft Research at a number of Universities

Επειδή το είχα κοιτάξει παλαιότερα αυτό το site ήθελα να ρωτήσω : πρέπει να μας έχουν δεχθεί πχ στο διδακτορικό της ασοεέ και απλά αν το proposal μας θεωρηθεί άξιο της υποτροφίας απλά θα μας χρηματοδοτήσουν ή πρέπει να φύγουμε και να πάμε στο εξωτερικό για το phd;
Θα με ενδιάφερε πολύ να μάθω.Ευχαριστώ πολύ

Δεν πρέπει να έχεις ξεκινήσει το διδακτορικό, πρώτα καταθέτεις την αίτηση με όλα τα απαιτούμενα δικαιλογητικά.
Το διδακτορικό μπορείς να το κάνεις και στην Ελλάδα.
Την αίτηση πρέπει να την καταθέσει ο supervisor του μελλοντικού διδακτορικού σου.

Application Process

Applications will be accepted in English and in electronic form only through the online application system at http://microsoft.redwhale.com/. After you create an application in the online application system, you can modify it at any time before the application deadline.

Applications will only be accepted through a student’s institution, such as from the PhD supervisor or a departmental secretary. We will not accept applications from students directly.

Applications should contain the following:

* An online Web form that includes contact details of supervisor(s) and possible reviewers. Ideally, one of the suggested reviewers should be from Microsoft Research. If no suitable Microsoft researcher can be identified, it may mean that the proposed research project is too far from our areas of interest.
* A project proposal of maximum four (4) A4 pages in 10-point font, including references. Accepted formats: plain text or Microsoft Word only.

The research project proposal should address the following points:

* Evidence that the research supervisor would be suitable to supervise of a PhD student for the proposed research project; this may include a short list of recent and relevant publications of the supervisor.
* Evidence that the department or laboratory offers a suitable environment for research in the proposed area.
* Basis for the research (motivations and brief state-of-the-art, including key references).
* Hypothesis under investigation and main aims.
* Research strategy with significant milestones if identified.
* Methods of research (for example, main techniques, experiments, and trials).
* Details of any collaboration with other departments/research bodies.
* Expected outcomes (for example, software tools).

Applications must be received no later than Wednesday, 10 September 2008 midnight (GMT). Applications must be complete and received by the deadline to be considered. Proposals received after this deadline will not be considered.

The student, who can be of any nationality, should not have started his or her PhD before October 2008.
