Scholarship Description: The Institute of Physiology and Pathophysiology of Heidelberg University, Division of Cardiovascular Physiology (Prof. Dr. Markus Hecker) offers a PhD position to work on zyxin control of stretch-induced arterial remodeling. The focal adhesion molecule zyxin specifically translocates to the nucleus of vascular cells in response to stretch or hypertension. In the nucleus, the protein orchestrates expression of a majority of stretch-/pressure-induced genes, among which mRNAs encoding for matrix proteins and ECM modifying enzymes are prominent. Aged zyxin-deficient mice show a reorientation of the arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in response to hypertension, associated with a more pronounced pressure-induced passive distension and a failure to up-regulate blood pressure. It appears that adult zyxin-deficient mice develop a severe deficit in arterial contractility due to a marked alteration in matrix composition and that the stretch-sensitive transcription factor zyxin has a major impact on the control of vascular SMC phenotype. The project will investigate the role of zyxin-controlled ECM proteins and matrix-modifying enzymes in pressure-induced vascular remodeling both in vitro and in vivo.

Candidates are selected on the basis of a strong academic background, professional qualifications and leadership potential. Application should be submitted till September 30, 2013.

Eligibility: The objective of the IRF Fellowship Program is to assist nations in their road improvement efforts by arranging for advanced education of their most promising professionals from either the private or public sector. Upon receipt of a nomination the IRF reviews both the nominee’s professional record and his undergraduate academic record. The universities, however, tend to place greater weight on the previous academic record when reviewing an application for admission. Accordingly, to be admitted to an accredited university, it is essential that the nominee’s undergraduate academic record be satisfactory. “Satisfactory” is the equivalent of an overall grade point average of “3.0? on a scale of 1 ? 4 (highest) for admission to a master’s degree program, and only slightly less for admission to a non?degree program. Particular attention should be paid to this requirement as admission to graduate schools is highly competitive, and an unsatisfactory academic record could cause the nominee’s case to be rejected by the International Road Federation and/or the universities.
-For admission of students from countries in which English is not the primary language, universities in the United States also require certification of the English language qualification of the applicant through the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) examination. A minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper?based) or 213 (computer?based) is currently required at most universities in the United States.

Scholarship Open for International Students: International students can apply for this fellowship.

Number of award(s):  Not Known

Duration of award(s): The Program provides a one-time grant. The grant is typically paid to the student in two equal payments at the beginning of each of the first two semesters. Alternatively, at the option of the sponsor, the International Road Federation can directly pay university billings for tuition and fees within the limits of the grant.

What does it cover? The International Road Federation Fellowship Program provides a financial grant that is applied toward the costs of graduate study at an accredited university in a highway?related field. All other funds, including the cost of round?trip international air travel, must be arranged for by the student’s sponsor. Cost of living and tuition vary widely among universities. Living expenses at universities in the United States currently are estimated at a minimum of US$1,000 per month. The student should have at least a portion of his or her maintenance funds with him or her on arrival to cover initial housing and food expenses.

Selection criteria: Candidates are selected on the basis of a strong academic background, professional qualifications and leadership potential. Candidates must provide evidence of intent to return to their home countries upon completion of the program.

Notification:  Not Known

How to Apply: To apply for the IRF Fellowship Educational Grant you will need to complete the online application form as well as mail hard copies of the documents.

Scholarship Application Deadline: The application deadline is September 30, 2013.
