International Postgraduate Phd Research Scholarship

The young scientists with Research International (DPI) scheme is funded by the Australian Government provides tuition-quality international postgraduate students who enroll in a research degree in Australian universities.

Applications will be assessed on academic merit and research potential. In addition to IPR, the price of the University of Sydney International Award for Graduate Studies (IPA) for the holders of intellectual property. The ICC provides a stipend / living allowance to all recipients IPRS.

The IPRS is available to students commencing in both the March and July Semesters. Students must indicate that they would like to be considered for the IPRS by completing the relevant section of the Postgraduate Research Application form (271kb pdf). To be considered for the award, applications MUST be received by the International Student Office by:

- 31 July of the previous year for Semester 1 (March) commencement
- 31 December of the previous year for Semester 2 (July) commencement

To be eligible for the IPRS, you must:

• Be an international student commencing full time enrolment in a Higher Degree by Research (HDR) at this University.
  If you commenced your HDR in the previous year, but due to the timing of your application and subsequent enrolment were unable to be considered for an IPRS, you may apply and be considered for an IPRS during the current round of IPRS application.
  Students in this situation should complete the IPRS Special Application Form (112kb pdf). This form MUST be received at the International Student Office by 31 August of the current year.
• Be a student undertaking study in a subject area identified by the University as within the areas of its current and emerging research strengths.
• Not hold a research qualification regarded to be equivalent to an Australian Research Doctorate degree, or, if undertaking a Research Master's degree, not hold a research qualification regarded to be equivalent to or higher than an Australian Research Masters degree.
• Not have held an AusAID scholarship within two years prior to commencing the IPRS.
• Not be receiving a scholarship for which course tuition is a component under any other scholarship scheme to which the Australian Government makes a substantial contribution.
• Not previously have received an IPRS, unless the previous IPRS was for a Master by Research degree that you have completed and you are now applying for a doctorate research degree.

The University awards approximately 30 IPRS awards each year. Successful candidates will be notifed in:

– late October/early November for Semester 1 (March) commencement
– April for Semester 2 (July) commencement

Note that only successful applicants will be notified.

In addition to the IPRS awards, commencing students may also be considered for the University of Sydney International Scholarship (USydIS). The USydIS is open to all research disciplines, however participation in the USydIS program each semester is at the discretion of the Dean of each Faculty. No application form for the USydIS is required and eligible applicants will be considered during the IPRS selection process in October/November for scholarships to commence in Semester 1 (March), and in early April for scholarships to commence in Semester 2 (July).

The USydIS will cover tuition fees and a living allowance similar to the IPRS.

For more detailed information about both IPRS and USydIS awards, please consult pages 11 and 12 of the Postgraduate Research Application form (271kb pdf).

Application Deadline : 31 May 2011

Doctoral Position Postgraduate Phd in the Department of Electrical energy, Systems and Automation, Ghent University, Belgium

Study Subject:Development of a multipurpose micromagnetic and micromechanical simulation platform
Employer:Ghent University
Level:PhD
Scholarship Description: A PhD position is available to join the research team that develops the multipurpose magnetic software platform “MuMax”. In a collaboration between the DyNaMat and EELAB groups at UGent, we are currently developing this high-performance simulation package that allows to simulate, on the one hand, the energy efficiency of electrical steels as used in electromagnetic devices, and, the read and write processes on e.g. hard disks on the other hand. In all applications, the complex magnetic processes can be determined by carefully combining Maxwell equations with micromechanic and micromagnetic equations. The software resulting algorithms will be implemented on the most modern and time efficient GPU hardware available (GPU: Graphical Processing Units). Due to its immense computational power compared to standard CPU computations, the software will open a complete range of new research opportunities to understand the rich physics of magnetic materials that can be exploited in various engineering applications.

In practice this PhD work will focus in the first place on the development of numerical algorithms to solve large systems of coupled equations in magnetism. Depending on the candidates’ interest, the focus can be on the efficient GPU-implementation of the developed algorithms or on the engineering applications.

We are currently looking for a new PhD student with a masters degree in either electromechanical, electrical or physical engineering or a masters degree in physics. The research topic is the development of algorithms that efficiently solve complex coupled equations in a magnetic context. An interest in programming numerical code is required.

The Faculty of Product Design has recently revised its research programme, and intends to strengthen its research and development activity. The programme, Product Design: Materiality, Processes and the Future Environment aims at developing knowledge, insight and skills in product design within its specialist areas. Research programme: http://www.hiak.no/index.php?ID=2795

The focus areas are:
• materials, concepts and environment
• methodology
• user, designer and client perspectives
• aesthetic practice and cultural diversity

Within these topics, social, commercial and emotional factors could be subject to investigation. Topics could touch on or interact with each other. Projects will produce results on the practical and methodological but also on the theoretical and pedagogical level, and artefacts, products and methods as well as pure analyses.

Specific projects should relate to:
• systems and product development promoting sustainable products
• the relation between sensory experience and concept development in the design process
• aesthetic practice as a factor in creating communication and meaning
• design as a focus area in a health professions context

The PhD Fellowship
The fellowship is financed on a 50/50% basis by Campus Kjeller (www.campuskjeller.no) and Akershus University College for a period of four years. Campus Kjeller AS is the Technology Transfer Office of Akerhus University College.

Area of responsibility and work tasks
The position comprises 25% teaching at the faculty.

The purpose of the fellowship is to complete a PhD degree. The task consists of working out a final project description in cooperation with the academic staff, attending a doctoral course and finally executing the PhD project. The contents of the project should comply with the Research Programme of the faculty, and should aim at creating a design method to facilitate the utilization of technology as a component in improving quality of life through commercial products. The research project should be coordinated with projects carried out at Campus Kjeller. These are research projects carried out in close collaboration with the research institutes at Kjeller, as well as entrepreneurial and innovation projects.
Conditions
Admission to a relevant PhD programme within 6 months is a condition for the engagement
Benefits
