MA of Lancaster University and the Polish Academy of Sciences

The Centre for Social Studies offers postgraduate studies in sociology leading to the British Master of Arts (MA) diploma awarded by Lancaster University highly regarded in both Europe and the USA and the postgraduate diploma of the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFiS PAN).
The Centre also offers its programme in a form allowing students to combine study with continued employment. In both cases programme is offered in a choice of three tracks:

1. MA in Society and Politics
2. MA in Economy and Society
3. MA in Culture and Society

In addition, our collaboration with the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology of the Polish Academy of Sciences and its Graduate School for Social Research allows the Centre’s students to continue their studies to obtain the doctoral degree of IFiS PAN.
The language of teaching is English. The programme benefits from cooperation with IFiS PAN, the leading institution for social science in Poland, and with leading international specialists from outside the Centre for Social Studies. At the same time the Sociology Department of Lancaster University is rated by the Research Assessment exercise (the British Government’s system of evaluation of academic institutions) as belonging to the small group of departments with the highest rating.
Our students are recruited from some 20 countries all over the world (mainly from Central & Eastern Europe). Our alumni continue their academic careers both at American Universities such as UC Berkeley, Columbia, Harvard, Stanford, the New School for Social Research and at British Universities such as Cambridge, Oxford, Lancaster, the London School of Economics as well as in their home countries. They also work for research agencies, the media, public administration and governmental bodies. Our programme, then, offers elite postgraduate education leading to a British MA degree. The fees for a complete full-time12 month intensive programme is PLN 10000 (approx. EUR 2300) or 900 PLN (approx EUR 210) monthly.
The cost of a 18 months’ study for the same programme in less intensive form allowing study to be combined with continuing work is PLN 12000 (approx. EUR 2750) payable in 18 monthly instalments of PLN 730 (approx EUR 170). These costs in both cases are significantly lower than would be incurred if the MA programme were followed in the UK itself.
The Centre invites applicants who have a university first degree comparable to a BA or MA degree or who will receive a degree before the 1st of October 2004 when the programme starts.
Application deadline: 10th October 2004 (or 31st March 2004 for financial aid).
Please visit the Centre’s website for more information: www.css.edu.pl or call us: (+48 22) 828 80 09, (+48 22) 657 28 19. Applicants may fill out an on-line application form and send it by e-mail to css@css.edu.pl or

Re: Bursa per shqiptaret

Postgraduate Research Programme: Capital Markets and Finance in the Enlarged Europe

During the past two decades the Central and Eastern Europe was a place of
deep political change. A change from a centrally planned economy to a free
market economy resulted in almost the complete rearrangement of local
capital markets. The main goal of the Postgraduate Research Programme is
the analysis of these new financial markets, especially with respect to the
EU enlargement expected in the near future.

The Postgraduate Research Programme started its teaching and research
activities on October 1st, 1999. It is financed by Stiftungsfonds Deutsche
Bank im Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft.

Every year there are 5 doctoral scholarships and 1 post-doctoral scholarship available. The selection procedure for the academic year
2003/2004 has already been completed. Applications for the next academic
year 2004/2005 should be submitted by May 1st, 2004.

Advertisement for a Research Fellow:
Quantifying Fidelity for Virtual Environment Simulations employing Schema Assumptions
Department Of Informatics, University of Sussex, UK

Fixed term for 23 months – appointment available immediately.
The Department of Informatics, University of Sussex, UK wishes to invite applications for the full-time post of Research fellow working on a
project entitled “Quantifying Fidelity for Virtual Environment Simulations employing Schema Assumptions”. This is a joint, 2-year collaboration between the Department of Informatics University of Sussex (Dr Katerina Mania), the Department of Experimental Psychology University of Bristol (Prof. Tom Troscianko), collaborating with Hewlett Packard Laboratories
Bristol (Dr Rycharde Hawkes). This post is based at the University of Sussex in Brighton, in close collaboration with the University of Bristol
and communication with Hewlett Packard Laboratories in Bristol.
The objectives of the project are:
Conducting experimental studies that will test specific hypothesis related to schema activation (memory research) in computer graphics worlds of
varied rendering photorealism. Schemata are knowledge structures based on past experience. When participants are exposed to a large amount of information in a scene, cognitive psychologists have suggested that schemata are used to guide the search for information in memory. For example, if a quick visual scan of a room indicates that there is a clock on the wall, hands may be assigned to it at a memory test, even though this particular clock does not have hands. The results obtained in these experiments will be used to target graphics resources in a
demonstrably efficient manner – an object-based rendering engine or a simulation of an engine is going to be implemented which will incorporate more rendering detail according to the degree of association of an object with the schema
in context.

This rendering system is going to be validated psychophysically, in comparison to a fully-fledged rendering solution. The major deliverable on this work is a technique which assesses functional realism in an entirely novel way, and can lead to an efficient use of graphics resources by rendering only those objects to a high level which require detailed inspection, and vice versa.

The Department of Informatics is a multidisciplinary, dynamic, and creative department within the School of Science and Technology in the University of Sussex, UK. The Department of Informatics was recently formed from a subset based on the former School of Engineering and IT together with a subset of the former School of Cognitive and Computing
Sciences (COGS). Both Schools were awarded a grade 5 in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise, confirming their world-class reputation in
research.
The researcher of this post will be a member of the Centre for VLSI and Computer Graphics, a designated EU Marie Curie training centre. The
group currently consists of five academic staff and at least 12 research staff and doctoral students. You should have a PhD in a relevant subject area ranging from computer graphics, virtual environments, human computer interaction, human factors or have equivalent experience.

£18,893 – £28,279 p/a

Starting salary will be no higher than £21,852

Closing date for receipt of applications is 4th June 2004.

Interviews are due to take place on the 21st June 2004.

THE CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY

www.ceu.hu


NATIONALISM STUDIES PROGRAM
announces a

Call for applications for MA, PhD and DSP studies at the Central
European University in Budapest.

The deadline for application is January 6, 2005.

For information on the program and the offered grants and financial
aid please visit our homepage ( http://www.ceu.hu/nation).

With questions regarding the program or the admission process please
turn to Szabolcs Pogonyi, the program coordinator (pogonyi@ceu.hu)

________________________________________________________________

The Nationalism Studies Program was established at Central European
University by the late Ernst Gellner with the goal of promoting the
study of nationalism in the post-communist countries of Central and
Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. The aim of the program
is to engage students in an empirical and theoretical study of
issues of nationalism, self-determination, problems of
state-formation, ethnic conflict, minority protection and the
related theme of globalization. Drawing upon the uniquely
supranational milieu of Central European University, it encourages
a critical and non-sectarian study of nationalism.

Students are encouraged to engage in an interdisciplinary study of
nationalism, a subject that is inherently and fundamentally
interdisciplinary. For this reason, the international teaching
staff has been assembled to represent a wide range of disciplinary
expertise relevant to the study of nationalism including history,
social theory, economics, legal studies, sociology, anthropology,
international relations and political science. The program offers a
wide selection of courses that provide a complex theoretical
grounding in problems associated with nationhood and nationalism
combined with advanced training in the methodology of applied
social science. Additional courses focus on placing problems of
nationalism in the context of economic and political transition as
well as constitution building in post-1989 Central and Eastern
Europe with a comparative outlook on regime transitions outside the
region.
The Master of Arts degree in Nationalism Studies is registered by
the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York
(US) for and on behalf of the New York State Education Department.
The faculty of the Nationalism Studies Program includes Mária M.
Kovács, András Kovács, Michael Miller, Will Kymlicka, Shlomo
Avineri, Rogers Brubaker, Yael Tamir, Donald Horowitz, Michael
Stewart, Erica Benner, Walter Kemp, Selim Deringil, Rainer Bauböck,
Marsha Rozenblit, Tibor Várady, Victor Karády, Florian Bieber,
Zoltan Milkósi, Júlia Szalai and Panayote Dimitras.
