Research Fellow at College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences

Overview
This post will be based at the University of Exeter`s Cornwall Campus. The University of Exeter is a Founding Partner in the Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC), a multi-million pound initiative aimed at expanding Higher Education opportunities in Cornwall. The new £100 million campus near Falmouth, shared with University College Falmouth opened in September 2004.

The University wishes to make an appointment at Associate Research Fellow level, in marine renewable energy at its Cornwall Campus. The successful applicant will join a strong research group in marine renewables with extensive physical and computational facilities and excellent support staff. The group works across the University and is part of the Peninsula Research Institute for Marine Renewable Energy (PRIMaRE, www.primare.org). There are close links with the Wave Hub project, a ground breaking initiative to deploy small wave arrays off the North Cornwall coast and device developers which are at the forefront of wave energy commercialisation. The new appointment would be expected to support the marine operation (mooring, installation, deployment & recovery) research for wave energy converters, which consequently leads to the commercial development of such devices at the Wave Hub site.

Erasmus Mundus EURASIA2 Scholarship

Overview
The main objective of the project EURASIA 2 is to contribute to the promotion of the European system of higher education world-wide (Bologna Declaration) and to strengthen the existing network of co-operation among universities in Asia and Europe by expanding their experience in student and staff exchanges to the associate institutions, and thus disseminate good practice with regard to organisation of mobility and Bologna implementation (ECTS, DS) in all participating countries.

The specific objectives are the improvement of education and research capabilities of EU and Asian countries in subjects relevant to sustainable environmental and natural resource management (i.e. applied life sciences in the broadest sense of the term) to meet present and future societal challenges by contributing to education for sustainable development, to promote cooperation and solidarity among scientists and scholars in the EU and Asian partner countries; in the area of human resources to contribute to the enhancement of academic and professional staff expertise; to produce and transmit scientific and scholarly knowledge and information on curricula development, on the use of ECTS and DS etc. in the participating countries.
