We have 2 scholarschips for Master's students. Each scholarship is 1000 PLN per month for 12 months. Depending on the results and the available funds, a student participating in the team may be also reimbursed a trip to an international conference on wireless sensor networks or to Maarten's group in Amsterdam.
To apply, please, submit the following documents to Konrad Iwanicki. The documents can be written in Polish or English.
- a short resume (up to 2 A4 pages), which should emphasize your scientific and professional background, interests, achievements, and English language fluency;
- a short motivation letter (up to 1 A4 page, 12pt font), which should explain the reason for the scholarship application (you must clearly sign and scan the letter);
- a list of all graduate courses you intend to follow or have been following during Master's studies (more is not necessarily better);
- a declaration in which you specify the total
minimal number of hours that you are willing to dedicate
solely to conducting research activities for the
project (again, you must clearly sign and scan
the declaration); the following limits apply:
- the average number of hours declared per week must not exceed hmax = 40,
- it is desirable for the average number of hours declared per week to be at least hmin = 16,
- the maximal number of weeks declared per year must not exceed ymax = 47;
- a certified list of grades you obtained during your studies (only if you study outside the University of Warsaw).
The documents should be submitted as PDF files in an e-mail with the following subject: “rhoRoute: Student scholarship application”.
The deadline for the applications is: Sunday, June 24, 2012, 23:59 CEST.
For more information about the application and selection procedures, refer to the rules and regulations. A template of an agreement a prospective scholarship recipient signs with the Foundation for Polish Science can be obtained here.
It is also possible to participate in the project without a scholarship. However, you should apply using the regular procedures above.
If you want to learn more before applying, please, attend the presentation we give at the Distributed Systems Master's Seminar on Thursday, May 31, 2012 at 12:15 in room 4070.
