Maestría en Diseño de Información y Tráfico
Gracias a Miguel Aguilar por el 'tip': este nuevo programa de maestría (en ciencias o MSc) en Austria, sobre el tema de "Traffic & Transport Information Design", que a decir de su sitio web cubre tanto "Traffic Information" como "Public Transport Information".
Es de 5 semestres incluyendo 1 de tesis y cuesta € 17.000,- aunque por el tema es bastante lógico pensar que se pueda conseguir una beca. No sé, pienso que en México por ejemplo en el IMT (Instituto Mexicano del Transporte http://www.imt.mx/) podrían estar interesados en apoyar una maestría de este tipo?

Maestría en Diseño e Innovación en DTU, Dinamarca
Hoy estuve en la presentación de esta maestría por los colegas de DTU, Ulrik Jorgensen y Andrés Valderrama. Quedé muy impresionado debido a que la filosofía y el diseño curricular de esta maestría viene de estudios profundos e interesantes sobre la educación superior y de posgrado en ingeniería y diseño.
http://www.design-ing.dk/English/About/Master.aspx
Creo que es una buena propuesta para que la/os que tengan interés en estudiar un posgrado. Parte del perfil de egreso dice: "The Product Design study-line combines insight into engineering design and synthesis with industrial design: aesthetical user-oriented design. Graduates of this study-line are knowledgeable and efficient product developers mastering the wide range of competences required to create competitive and sustainable products.MSc graduates are qualified in product life and quality, including design for manufacturing, assembly, distribution,service, use, quality, cost, sustainability and disposal. They can use modeling methods to document, communicate and prove product properties. They thrive in in the composite organizations and knowledge networks that create new innovative products, excel at working with new partners and new technology and easily adapt to new assignments."
En palabras (más o menos) de Ulrik esta es una maestría "que produce menos desempleados que los egresados de Danmarks Designskole..." (auch!)

Maestrías SUTD-MIT
Qué buenas opciones estas maestrías entre el MIT (Cambridge, EEUU) y la nueva SUTD en Singapur:
http://www.sutd.edu.sg/cmsresource/brochure/postgraduate_brochure.pdf
De sus programas de primer grado no hablaremos mucho por la orientación de este blog, pero también parecen opciones tremendamente interesantes para la formación de diseñadores en cuatro áreas: arquitectura y sustentabilidad, ingeniería y desarrollo de productos, diseño e ingeniería de sistemas, e informática y diseño.
De las maestrías, se antoja un programa MUY completo: de 9 a 13 meses en el MIT en Ingeniería Industrial, Civil, Manfuactura o Sistemas, complementado por una segunda tesis de investigación en SUTD.
Se ofrecen ayudas que incluyen inscripciones en MIT y SUTD, seguros médicos en ambos países, gastos de manutención y pasajes aéreos. ¡Vaya oportunidad para quienes quieran aprovecharla!
Nos mantendremos alertas para ver cuándo ofrezcan programas doctorales comentarlos en este blog.

Beca para doctorado en Birmingham, Reino Unido
Birmingham Institute of Art and Design (BIAD) is part of a cross discipline centre for research into design for zero carbon. BIAD has two foci:
- One focus is on retrofit of energy saving technologies in existing building stock, modeling of energy in buildings, and the application of complexity theory.
- The other focus is on consumer behaviour change for a carbon neutral future, especially through advertising creating the right kinds of desire.
---
PhD Studentship in Retro-fit
We are offering a PhD studentship in design for zero carbon. This is linked to specific interests in building design, specifically in retro-fit of energy saving technologies, and work with gaining knowledge of a carbon negative house in Birmingham. This studentship is placed in the Birmingham School of Architecture. We welcome enquiries from a wide range of candidates from design, engineering, and architecture. Informal enquiries are welcomed in advance of a formal application.
Although all new UK buildings will need to be zero carbon by 2019, the majority of carbon emissions and environmental impact comes from existing buildings. Birmingham School of Architecture at the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design are involved in a unique research project on zero carbon retrofit of buildings. We are developing methods and tools through experimental research, including monitoring and post occupancy evaluation of a zero carbon retrofit house. The work has a potential for a significant impact on UK carbon emissions and the UK economy.
We are seeking suitably qualified and enthusiastic PhD candidates to pursue research within our Low Carbon Retrofit programme, running within our Centre for Low Carbon Research. Successful applicant will have an opportunity to join this research programme at the forefront of the current state of the art and influence its future development.
Candidates should hold a good honours degree or equivalent in a relevant discipline and be committed to studying for a PhD. Experience of sustainable building design, building performance monitoring or building simulation would be an advantage.
A successful applicant for a Research Bursary will receive a tax-free living allowance of GBP13,590 per year (paid monthly) and a fee-waiver for full-time student PhD enrolment, for three years subject to satisfactory performance being maintained.
For further information about BIAD Research please see http://www.biad.bcu.ac.uk/research/site/pages/home.php
and for further details about this studentship please see
http://www.biad.bcu.ac.uk/research/site/pages/clcr.php
The closing date for applications is close of business on 10 June 2011. Interviews will be held on 27 June.
Informal enquiries to:
Dr Lubo Jankovic - lubo.jankovic@bcu.ac.uk

PhD studentships in design for sustainable desires
There may be up to two further PhD studentships which are just announced EITHER in retro-fit (as above) OR in creating desires (below).
Sustainable design is often seen only as a technological fix, but whatever the technologies involved, designers create desires both through the creation of products and services and through their branding and promotion. Our interests centre around ways in which present consumer behaviours may be turned toward more sustainable futures. This is an area of great cultural complexity, and may include designers from any relevant design subject specialism (such as visual communications, advertising, animation, industrial design, furniture, fashion, interiors, retail design, and landscape/architecture) but also from any other discipline that can contribute to understanding behaviour change in the context of design at all levels from design practice to international policy making.
Informal enquiries are welcomed.

Doctorado en Diseño en Northumbria, Reino Unido
Excelente oportunidad, ojalá que nuestros lectores la consideren:
Northumbria University School of Design invites applications for PhD studies focused on its eight areas of research interest. Selected applicants will be nominated for competitive university studentships to fund three years of PhD study. Interested applicants should contact the relevant research grouping lead (see details below) as soon as possible, complete an application form, and submit before the deadline of May 13th, 2011. The School has significant research activities and outputs across eight research themes, organised into three groupings that combine to express the fundamentals of design research (i.e., that we make changes by making sense through making connections). The research themes for Making Connections are: Making and Design Issues. This grouping focuses on what design should do. Its two themes focus on the fundamentals of designing through making and designing through reflecting on design practice at all scales. Applicants are sought with an interest in design craftsmanship, new luxury, the roles of touch or storytelling in design, design activism, the future roles of design, and fundamental aspects of design processes. The research themes for Making Sense are: Experimental Media, Future Materials for Living and Insights. This grouping focuses on what design could do. Its three themes focus on the potential for new design content and process within design's core tributary disciplines of creative arts, science and technology, and the human sciences and humanities. Applicants are sought with an interest in: the creative potential of communicative media (static, dynamic and interactive); the use of new printable, paintable and programmable materials capable of being made intelligent through design; and the untapped potential for design within knowledge, insights and practices from the human sciences and humanities. The research themes for Make Changes are: Design Value Innovation, Social Innovation and Design for Social Equity. This grouping focuses on what design can do. Its three themes focus on demonstrating the value of design through innovation with commercial, community and global collaborators. Applicants are sought with an interest in: commercial innovation, design management for business, service design, public sector innovation, third sector innovation, responsible design practice, sustainable design, design against crime, creative entrepreneurship or workers rights for developing countries, and co-design with disadvantaged groups.

¿Cómo dictaminar un artículo de revista?
En lo que va del año me han pedido dictaminar 4 artículos de "journals" de buen nombre. En los 4 casos mi recomendación ha sido rechazar el artículo. Me pregunto si es tan alto el índice o si simplemente me han tocado más artículos de mala calidad. En cualquier caso esta es una guía para la evaluación:
Como un botica, hay de todo, y no todos los artículos rechazados "cojean del mismo pie", la lista anterior puede ser útil a manera de checklist antes de enviar un artículo a evaluación...
- Is the paper well-grounded in the contemporary literature on the topic?
- Does it make clear the contribution it aims to make to that literature? And succeed in making that contribution?
- Does it present a coherent argument for its position, and are positions, propositions or hypotheses persuasively developed? Do conclusions follow persuasively from the argument?
- Is written expression clear, concise and accessible to students and academics with an interest in this field?
- Please highlight poor grammar or spelling. 'American' or 'English' spellings are acceptable, providing they are used consistently. It is not the reviewer's role to correct but helpful to identify errors.
- Are heading levels appropriate and concise?
- Has ethical clearance been shown for research papers? Are ethical processes followed included in the body of the article?
- Are references accurate and timely, and consistent throughout? Do in-text citations appear in References, and vice-versa as appropriate?
