PhD Research Scholarship in Development of New Methodologies for Quantifying Uranium Minerals at RMIT University, Australia 2012
Study Subject(s): Development of new methodologies for quantifying uranium minerals in complex uranium bearing ores
Course Level: PhD Research
Scholarship Provider: RMIT University
Scholarship can be taken at: Australia
Eligibility:
Open to both local and international students
Scholarship Open for International Students: Yes
The chemistry involved in extracting uranium from uranium bearing ores is complex due to uranium bearing ores containing a number of different uranium minerals in addition to the other numerous minerals / compounds found in these ore bodies. In order to gain a better understanding of the chemistry of uranium extraction from uranium bearing ores detailed information on the type and quantity of uranium minerals present in feed ores is required. The aforementioned information is however difficult to obtain using current techniques due to uranium minerals usually being found in ores in very low concentrations as very fine grains. In addition the current techniques that are capable of providing the aforementioned information are laborious and Read the rest of this entry »

PhD Positions in Ecosystem Science (Biodiversity, Water, Carbon, Vulnerability, Socio-Economic), The University of Melbourne, Australia
10 PhD projects: Forest ecosystem science (Biodiversity, Water, Carbon, Vulnerability, Socio-Economic)
The University of Melbourne – Department of Forest and Ecosystem Science
The University of Melbourne’s Department of Forest and Ecosystem Science in partnership with the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) have established a new $10M research program that will examine the effects of climate, management, and disturbances on forest ecosystem processes at landscape scales.
We seek expressions of interest from prospective PhD students in the following research areas:
-Forest Biodiversity: quantify relationships between future fire regimes and risks to forest biodiversity (particularly fauna), structure and function.
-Forest Water: help identify key threats to future water security from forested catchments. Read the rest of this entry »
Postgraduate Scholarship in Remote Sensing of Wind Fields and Atmospheric Pollution using Laser Radar, Australia
Two PhD scholarships by Curtin University in conjunction with the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation, and the Cooperative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment (CRCCARE) .
The scholarship has an additional operating, training and travel budget to assist students in field investigations. The successful candidates will work with a small team of researchers based in Perth, Western Australia.
Eligibility: Candidates will be expected to have:
* An Honours (H1A or H2A) degree, Masters degree (Distinction average) or equivalent in a relevant physical science, engineering discipline, and/or mathematics.
* A basic understanding of the fluid dynamics; numerical modelling; optimisation and statistical computations; and well developed skill computer programming using computation languages (such as C++, Matlab and Fortran), which are fundamentals to the successful outcomes of both project outcomes. Experience with parallel programming using visualisation libraries will be well regarded. Read the rest of this entry »
