PhD Scholarship "Hydrologic Connectivity in Forests" |
Closing Date: |
N/A |
An APAI is available for a PhD candidate to undertake research as part of an Australian Research Council funded Linkage Project on " Developing a decision support system for the management of road runoff for water quality protection". Partners organisations are Forests NSW; Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW); Parks, Conservation and Lands Branch of the Department of Territory and Muncipal Services (ACT); Department of Sustainability and Environment (Victoria); Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority and Eurobodalla Shire Council. While the ARC project will be administered by UNSW, the PhD student will be based at University Melbourne under supervision of Dr Patrick Lane and Dr Gary Sheridan. The study will be concerned with the processes of runoff and sediment generation and delivery in forest environments. The project involves quantification of runoff generation and interception by roads and its effect on sediment delivery to streams, particularly after forest disturbance by fire and/or logging. The study will include field monitoring and experiments, as well as the development of modelling tools for mitigation of water quality impacts. Requirements : Applicants should hold a BSc (Hons: 1 or 2A) or Masters Degree in hydrology, physical geography, or related disciple. Good research and communication skills. Applicants must be a citizen or permanent resident of Australia . Eligibility for full NSW driver's license is desirable. Remuneration : APAI Stipend $25,118pa (tax-free) for 3 yrs. The research grant will also cover research costs and includes access to a research assistant to assist with lab/fieldwork. Closing Date for Applicants: There is currently no closing date for this scholarship. Commencement Date: February 1, 2008 Further information can be obtained from: |

The Bragg Institute, ANSTO and UNSW@ADFA Joint Appointment Postgraduate Research Scholarship Condensed Matter Science - Magnetism |
Closing Date: |
Open until a suitable candidate is found |
Applications are invited for the above scholarship for research studies into the structural and magnetic properties of advanced magnetic materials. The position, which is funded jointly by UNSW@ADFA, The University of New South Wales, and The Bragg Institute, ANSTO, is available immediately . The research includes experimental and theoretical aspects in modern condensed matter science. In addition to exploiting the neutron facilities at reactor OPAL, ANSTO, the research will involve x-ray diffraction; Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetization measurements at the modern laboratories of the Schools of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences, UNSW@ADFA, Canberra and The Bragg Institute, ANSTO, Sydney.

UNSW@ADFA RT Scholarship "Micro-end mill machining manufacture of microo-devices for the study of fluid flow in micro-channels" |
Closing Date: |
30 June 2008 |
Applications are invited from prospective research students for a UNSW@ADFA Research Training PhD scholarship to conduct research on the micro-end milling machining manufacture of micro-devices. Applicants should possess a good Honours degree in Aerospace/Chemical/Mechanical Engineering or Natural Sciences. The research project aims to provide an understanding of the mechanics of the micro-end milling process, and develop a novel way of manufacturing micro-devices that is applicable to most base materials. Although the use of end-mills for micromachining has been discussed by researchers, there is a dearth of information on the mechanism of the micro-end milling process and this project's outcomes will fill that gap. The process can be easily adapted by the manufacturing industry in Australia . As end-milling is one of the most versatile machining process available for small and large runs of products, the successful development of micro-end milling will enable micro-devices to be manufactured rapidly and easily, in single and volume runs. The micro-end milling process can be used on any material, including ceramics and hard materials, with the potential to manufacture micro-devices for harsh environments, including high temperatures, pressures, and impacts; some of which are typical of defence applications. The PhD project will entail the study of the roughness of surfaces milled under different parameters and materials, and the development of a mechanistic model for predicting the forces during milling. It is expected that the study will lead to the trial manufacture of a number of micro-device prototypes. The successful applicant will be awarded a UNSW@ADFA RT scholarship with an annual tax-free stipend of $21,207. This scholarship is for a period of 3 years and is subject to satisfactory progress reviews. Applicants would be expected to be available to commence their studies by 31 August 2008 at the latest but preferably earlier. For further information, please contact:- |
