M. Sc. Optics and Photonics-Germany
M. Sc. Optics and Photonics
KSOP Masters Education. We believe that a Ph.D.graduate school is unlikely to be successful without the background / infrastructure and the “funneling / filtering” through a corresponding associated, interdisciplinary coordinated masters program, aiming at attracting excellent students from abroad.
36 students per year can be admitted to our masters program. The best students of the masters program are supported by the KSOP Scholarship Program. Access to the KSOP masters education is granted via an application procedure.
A study plan is developed for each individual masters student (corresponding to his/her educational background) when entering the KSOP.
The M.Sc. course is divided into four stages providing the students with the necessary prerequisites (Stage I: Introduction) , to give them a solid background on the most important topics within the wide and diverse field of Optics and Photonics (Stage II: Core Subjects) and let them acquire specialized knowledge (Stage III: Specialization) to be able to competently perform a six-month research project on a current topic of research (masters thesis). In addition, an 8-weeks industrial internship is scheduled between stages 2 and 3.
Scholarship
The KSOP scholarship amounts to 800 Euro/month for international students and 400 Euro/month for German students. Part of the scholarship is a research assistantship. Within the scope of this assistantship, you will have the opportunity to work on a research project in one of the KSOP institutes.

Bradford rabble rousing over 90 day law
Sue Bradford has advised that WINZ had declined assistance to a beneficiary about to start work because he was not going to be in permanent employment, due the new 90 day law that came into force on Sunday.
I find that pretty hard to believe that WINZ would lawfully do that for that reason. Bradford asked a question in parliament today asking if those who are offered employment under the 90-day probation law are entitled to the same support from Work and Income New Zealand as those offered employment not under the 90-day probation law?
The Minister said they are offered more protection. Given that WINZ work brokers will be arranging some of this employment – and paying much of the first 90 days salary in some cases, WINZ are hardly going to scuffle assistance because the person is under a 90 day probationary period. Beneficiaries can’t get an automatic 13 week stand down if they are fired under the 90 day law, like they can if they are fired after 90 days and don’t take a personal grievance case.
Rajen Prasad asked how the Minister will guarantee that Work and Income staff members do not play judge and jury where there is some doubt about who is at fault in cases where workers are fired during the 90-day trial?
They don’t play judge and jury now. At least they are not supposed to. If there is doubt, beneficiaries have the benefit of the doubt and WINZ will only stand down if the person has been fired under normal circumstances and if they don’t appeal. If they have been fired for any (including no) reason under the 90 day law, they will be treated a little more leniently given that they cannot take a personal grievance case, thus eliminating their stand down to get on a benefit in the interim. They`ll get on a benefit sooner until the employer has been spoken to.
At least what’s what should happen. As there is no mechanism to determine whether an allegation of misconduct actually has any substance, WINZ can’t apply the 13-week stand down without some investigation..

Why we eat what we eat – The psychology of choice and AGM
Food and Health Forum
Date: Monday 16 March 2009| Venue: Royal Society of Medicine
This meeting aims to provide an overview of the latest research into the psychology of food choices. Areas covered will include the role of the hypothalamus, imaging of the brain’s response to hunger, programming of appetite and obesity, the role of physical activity in controlling food cravings, mindless eating, the influence of sound, teenage eating, phenotypes and how we motivate people to change.
At the end of the meeting delegates will have gained a broad and up-to-date overview of the mechanisms that drive people to make food choices. They will have an understanding from this research as to what future research is needed and how we can implement in practice the knowledge that is already there.

Conservatory Connections
Something besides hushed whispers and clicking heels filled the air on Nov. 21 in the Abstract Expressions Gallery at the Nelson- Atkins Museum of Art.
Music rang throughout the gallery, not from paintings brought to life and spontaneously breaking into song, but from vocalist Stephanie Laws and pianist Michael Pagan performing as part of the museum’s Conservatory Connections program.
Computational Linguistics: PhD Student, University of Potsdam, Germany
Institution/ Organization: University of Potsdam
Department: Department of Linguistics
Web Address: http://www.ling. uni-potsdam. de
Level: PhD
Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics
Description:
We invite applications for the position of a Research Assistant / PhD student to work within the Dialogue Group at the Department of Linguistics, University of Potsdam, Germany. The position is initially for one year, with the possibility of extension for an additional two years.
The successful applicant will work in the context of the project “InPro: Incrementality and Projection in Dialogue Processing’, which aims to investigate incremental processing methods for spoken dialogue systems. The main resposibility for the incoming RA / PhD student will be in the area of dialogue management. The team comprises one other PhD student and one Post-Doc.
Ideal candidates for the RA / PhD position have an excellent degree in Computational Linguistics, Linguistics, or Computer Science, and have shown ability for conducting original research. Prior work on dialogue systems and especially dialogue management would be a definite plus. Good programming skills are important, a keen interest in problem solving and research is essential. The successful candidate is encouraged to work towards a PhD degree in Computational Linguistics from the University of Potsdam.
The working language of the project is English.
We offer
- a competitive salary with all benefits (German TV-L 13 / BAT IIa payscale * 3/4, the actual salaries vary depending on age and family situation, currently between 2000 and 2600 E per month)
- a dynamic and international working environment. (Computational Linguistics is a growing part of Linguistics in Potsdam, which already is one of the larger linguistics departments in Germany; there are also established inter-disciplinary connections to e.g. computer science and psychology.)
- a nice (and affordable) living environment (Potsdam is a beautiful mid-sized city just on the outskirts of Berlin, from where, if desired, Potsdam is in easy commuting distance).
The position is open from December 1st, 2008 (or earlier), so candidates are encouraged to apply ASAP and reviewing of applications begins immediately; however, we are looking for the best candidate, so later starting dates may be negotiable as well.
To apply, please send
- a statement of research interests;
- a cv, including details of research experience;
- if applicable, (links to) sample publications; and
- addresses of at least two referees to Dr. David Schlangen ( das@ling.uni- potsdam.de ).

I Have Created A New Global Facebook Group Named
“Student As Scholar / Scholar As Student”
“Undergraduate education should adopt the “Student as Scholar” Model throughout the curriculum, where scholar is conceived in terms of an attitude, an intellectual posture, and a frame of mind derived from the best traditions of an engaged liberal arts education. With this framework, not only each research project, but also each course, is viewed as an integrated, and integrating, part of the student experience.”
