Dear World-Class Students, and Supervisors, Canada has recently established a top-tier fellowship program, to be comparable with other prominent fellowships, such as Fulbright and Rhodes scholarships. These "Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships (CGS)" www.vanier.gc.ca are very prestigious, and very lucrative: $50K / year, for up to 3 years, to cover the cost of PhD studies in a Canadian university. They are, therefore, very competitive, awarded to only a handful of students -- in 2009, there were only 6 Computer Science awards across all of Canada!
The Department of Computing Science of the University of Alberta www.cs.ualberta.ca/ is now looking for qualified world-class students, to begin the process of applying for this impressive award, towards receiving this award starting in July 2011. (Yes, over one year away.) In particular, we are now looking for students who ... * are just finishing their 3rd year undergrad, or finishing their first year of a 2-year MSc program * have stellar grades (3.8/4.0, or better) * have already achieved accomplishments in research, and perhaps other extra-curricular results * are interested in pursuing a PhD in Computing Science at the University of Alberta We are delighted to work with qualified students in any area of Computing Science; note that our department already has strengths in many areas, including Electronic Entertainment (webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~games/) and Machine Learning (www.aicml.ca/), among other topics. Please contact us NOW if you think you qualify, or if you know someone who might qualify; we can then work together to produce an application that is likely to succeed. This is a tremendous opportunity for US to work with yet other up-and-coming world-class researchers; and for YOU to become a member of our team! -- | R Greiner Phone: (780) 492-5461 | | Professor and Graduate Chair | | Dep't of Computing Science FAX: (780)492-1071 | | Alberta Ingenuity Centre for Machine Learning | | University of Alberta Email: rgrein...@-ualberta-.-ca | | Edmonton, AB T6G2E8 CA http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~greiner/ |
