 <description>&lt;p&gt;
SERC launched the &lt;a href=&quot;www.a-star.edu.sg/astar_investigators&quot;&gt;A*STAR Investigatorships&lt;/a&gt; last year. This prestigious award for top young research talent, tenable at their research institutes, aims to nurture young talent and build R&amp;amp;D capabilities in Singapore.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
This year, the award is open for applications in the following areas:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
	Cognitive Systems, including robotics&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
	Meta-materials&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
	Terahertz&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
	Clean energy technologies (including fuel cells, organic PVs, bioenergy)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
	Services Science (focusing on computational approaches and computer systems to improve service efficiency and catalyse service innovation &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As in last year&amp;#39;s call, interested applicants should have recently obtained their PhD (at most not more than 48 months, but preferrably within 24 months). &amp;nbsp; The appointment will be for a duration of 3 years renewable for a further 3 years, with each A*STAR Investigator&amp;#39;s laboratory &amp;nbsp;funded up to US$500K p.a.  The flyer on this year&amp;#39;s award is attached. &amp;nbsp;Applications close on 31 May 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
