Salut! Chris Csikszentmihalyi, fost mare boss la MIT media lab, actual researcher la Polo Científico e Tecnológico da Madeira, are un call for applications pentru doctorate, unul în "Digital Media", altul în "Networked Interactive Cyber Physical Systems". Dau mai jos copy/paste la anunț.
L-am cunoscut pe Chris la o conferință de jurnalism și mi se pare un om super fain. Aș aprecia un ping dacă depuneți o aplicație, pentru curiozitatea mea personală :) -- Alex > Call for applications: PhD in Digital Media and PhD in Networked Interactive > Cyber Physical Systems at M-ITI > > M-ITI (http://www.m-iti.org/) is a unique human-computer interaction (HCI) > research institute, rated as “Excellent” by the national science foundation > (FCT). M-ITI offers students high quality doctoral advisors, partnerships > with renowned universities such as University of Texas at Austin and Carnegie > Mellon University, dual-track degrees, modern facilities, and > state-of-the-art equipment to support their research. At M-ITI, students and > researchers have the opportunity to integrate teams working on challenging > and dynamic projects. > > M-ITI PhD students typically take their first year coursework on the mainland > (Lisbon or Porto), then return to Madeira to conduct their research and write > their dissertation. M-ITI currently offers two PhD programs, Digital Media > and Networked Interactive Cyber Physical Systems. > > Applications are being accepted for new students for the 2016-2017 school > year, check: > > http://app.m-iti.org/ > > Telephone: +351 291 721 006 > > Email: [email protected] > > > > 1. PhD in Digital Media (PDMD) > > The PDMD – Doctoral Program in Digital Media was created through the > partnership between the FCT/UNL (Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da > Universidade Nova de Lisboa), the FEUP (Faculdade de Engenharia da > Universidade do Porto) and UT Austin (University of Texas in Austin, United > States). > > It is a 4-year PhD program, which is aimed at students with a Masters degree > (2nd cycle Bologna or pre-Bologna) in the areas of information / > communication sciences, multimedia, interactive design, and all scientific > and technological areas that feed into digital media. Digital media is an > area that is rapidly growing and has gained increasing importance in our > daily lives. > > The Digital Media PhD program aims to train researchers, academics and > leaders in innovative processes. This training will enable the > conceptualization and development of digital products and services, having > taken into account target audiences, contexts and goals relevant to several > distribution channels. > > Applications for the Digital Media PhD program are now being accepted for the > 2016/2017 academic year. Application deadlines: > > University of Porto: August 8, 2016 > > New University of Lisbon: August 25, 2016 > > Learn more here (http://app.m-iti.org/). > > > 2. PhD in Networked Interactive Cyber Physical Systems (NETSyS) > > The PhD in Networked Interactive Cyber Physical Systems was created through > the partnership between IST/UL ( Instituto Superior Técnico da Universidade > de Lisboa) and Carnegie Mellon University. > > This program is aimed at students with a Masters degree (2nd cycle Bologna or > pre-Bologna) in engineering (electronic, computers, mechanical, aerospace and > IT), computer science, and applied mathematics and it offers a high level of > expertise and skills in cyber physical interactive systems. This PhD will > provide students with the conceptual, scientific and technological tools to > deal with the most challenging problems that happen in some of the most > relevant real-life situations in the world. The fast progress that has been > made in the field of systems engineering are allowing for the development and > deployment of large-scale operating systems that interact with humans and > physical systems, which are at the center of a vast number of applications in > real world contexts and have significant scientific, economic and social > impact. > > To meet the real and ever-changing challenges in our society, a new > generation of researchers is needed. These researchers should be capable of > dealing with theoretical and practical situations created by the intersection > of information processing, controls and robotics, systems optimization, > networks data and human-computer interaction. The PhD in networked > interactive cyber physical systems aims to train researchers, professors and > professionals to deal with innovative processes and situations. It also has > within its objectives to enable students to analyze complex situations and to > propose new solutions, as well as give them the ability to manage > multidisciplinary teams. > > The applications will open (probably in June 2016) for a period of roughly > two weeks. Interested applicants should contact us > (mailto:[email protected]) as soon as possible to help describe the process > and guide their application. > > Learn more here (http://app.m-iti.org/). > > > > About M-ITI > > > M-ITI is at core an HCI research center with a strong footing in Computer > Science, but with faculty ranging from Electrical Engineering, to Psychology, > to Art and Design. At M-ITI, students and researchers have the opportunity to > integrate teams working on challenging and dynamic projects.
