Faculty Scholarship Listing

Scholarship:
A PhD studentship in mathematics, fluid dynamics and ultrasound or acoustics and is part of an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage project.
Background:

This PhD studentship in mathematics, fluid dynamics and ultrasound or acoustics is for an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage project.

The student will work on a major new project with two postdoctoral research fellows, and an experienced university and industry research team.

The project will investigate both fundamental and applied aspects of the ultrasonic separation phenomenon. The PhD candidate will focus on mathematical modelling of the fundamental physics, leading to a prediction of experimental results and ultimately the industrial economics of the process.

The project partners are Swinburne University of Technology, the Geoffrey Gardiner Dairy Research Foundation, and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

The PhD candidate will benefit from a research-active multidisciplinary group including experts in fluid dynamics, ultrasound, surface and colloidal biochemistry, mathematics and numerical modelling. The position will be based at the Swinburne University of Technology campus at Hawthorn

Qualifications:
Applicants should have a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, engineering, physics or a related discipline.

Scholarship:
PhD by research in Applied Mathematics and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Background:

Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) is seeking suitably qualified students to undertake post-graduate study in Applied Mathematics and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics. Research carried out by the Physical Oceanography group at Swinburne is focused on deep-water and finite-depth wave dynamics, spectral modelling of wind-generated waves, wave breaking and dissipation, air-sea interaction, wave-bottom interaction and Langmuir circulation.
.
This project is concerned with the development of a low order dynamical model of the life cycle of stadium sized rolls in the upper ocean known as Langmuir circulation and their shallow water counterparts denoted Langmuir supercells.
.
The work will involve a combination of analysis, dynamical systems theory and large scale computing. Applicants should have a strong background in the Physical and/or Mathematical Sciences.

Inquiries and applications should be directed to Prof William Phillips at wphillips@swin.edu.au.

Scholarship:
NICTA PhD Scholarships in ICT-related disciplines such as information systems, electrical engineering and computer science
Background:

Students must be studying full-time, be enrolled in a PhD or a Masters leading to PhD and the research project must be in an area that NICTA is active in. Students who are already enrolled or who have applied for a PhD candidature place are eligible to apply.

Scholarships are available for both Australian and international students. At some universities, international students who are awarded a full NICTA scholarship may also receive a university-funded fee exemption.

Scholarships are available as full, partial and top-up living stipends for up to four years of study. Full stipends are paid at the same rate as Australian Postgraduate Awards (APA) while top-ups are currently set at $7,000 per annum.
