• Crisis Response in mental health care: Lived experience and philosophy of care
  Scholarship Available Professor Nicholas Procter Closing 31 March 2021 11:30 PM (ACDT)
  About this Project
  We are seeking a motivated PhD student to undertake an exciting industry funded project titled Crisis Response in mental health care: Lived experience and philosophy of care.
  
  This project aims to produce high quality research which is an original contribution to the field of crisis response in mental health care. Funded by and undertaken in collaboration with the Neami National Urgent Mental Health Care Centre in South Australia, this research will focus on clinical and peer support based services, novel service design, unique philosophy of care, and innovative governance arrangements. It will examine how these key elements of the service contribute to improving pathways of care and integration on the systems level. Coproduction of the research process, involving key partnerships with lived experience advisors and leaders and service partners, will be a strong feature of the study.
  
  The outcome of this project will be to generate new knowledge on how the contributions of peer workers is expressed in team-based crisis work in the context of a novel service design and innovative governance arrangements. The research you undertake in this project will generate at least four peer-reviewed publications.
  
  Eligibility & Financial Support
  A Scholarship worth $37,500 per annum for 3.5 years is available to domestic candidates only. An additional $2,500 per annum for 3.5 years will be available for project support.

• BAE IMCRC Data Linking Analytics
  Scholarship Available Dr Wolfgang Mayer Never closes
  About this Project
  The University of South Australia is welcoming applications for a PhD position in Artificial Intelligence/Computer Science to work on the project "Application of Narrative Visualisation and Big Data to Improve High Value Manufacturing" funded by BAE Systems and the Innovative Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre.
  
  Discrete manufacturing in Defence inherently relies on participants in the supply chain performing at a very high-quality level without full visibility of what is happening elsewhere in the chain. Human-in-the-loop decision making is fundamental in high value complex manufacture, both to correct defects and increase operational efficiency.
  
  The problem is a latency of presenting appropriate data to the critical decision makers. Data captured from disparate Industry 4.0 technologies can be transformed into a trusted data driven decision support tool, based on big data and smart visualisation techniques.
  
  Eligibility & Financial Support
  A Scholarship is available to both domestic and international applicants. Applicants must meet the selection criteria for the award of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of South Australia.
  
  All applications that meet the eligibility and selection criteria will be considered for this project. A merit selection process will be used to determine the successful candidate.
  
  Candidates born in ITAR-proscribed countries and nationals of IT AR-proscribed countries are ineligible. Please check the list of denial countries in ITAR legislation prior to applying.
  
  Scholarship Value
  A Scholarship worth $32,285 per year for 3.5 years with an option for a 6-month extension. An additional $2,500 is available for equipment upon commencement.
  
  Qualification
  Doctor of Philosophy.

  About this Project
  The University of South Australia is welcoming applications for a PhD position in Immersive Analytics and Data Storytelling to work on the project "Application of Narrative Visualisation and Big Data to Improve High Value Manufacturing" funded by BAE Systems and the Innovative Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre.
  
  You will explore and develop visualisation and data storytelling systems in immersive environments-including virtual reality, augmented reality, and tabletop displays-to elucidate insight in advanced manufacturing environments. Manufacturing in Defence inherently relies on participants in the supply chain performing at a very high-quality level without full visibility of what is happening elsewhere in the chain.

• Lie symmetry analysis in regularised nonlinear diffusion problems
  Scholarship Available Dr Bronwyn Hajek Never closes
  About this Project
  We are seeking a motivated student to undertake an ARC funded PhD position in Applied Mathematics to work on a project titled “A Novel Geometric Approach to Shocks in Reaction-Nonlinear Diffusion Models”.
  
  Reaction-nonlinear diffusion models play a vital role in the study of cell migration and population dynamics. However, the presence of aggregation, or backward diffusion, leads to the formation of shock waves - distinct, sharp interfaces between different populations of densities of cells - and the breakdown of the model.
  
  The aim of this project is to develop new geometric methods to explain the formation and temporal evolution of shock waves in regularised reaction-nonlinear diffusion models and devise innovative tools in singular perturbation theory and stability analysis that will identify key parameters in the creation of shock waves, as well as their dynamic behaviour.
  
  To be successful in this project you should have a completed Honours Degree and have a strong background in mathematics. Knowledge in one or more of the following areas would be highly regarded: differential equations, PDEs, symmetry analysis, dynamical systems, group theory.
  
  Eligibility & Financial Support
  A Scholarship is available to both domestic and international applicants. Applicants must meet the selection criteria for the award of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of South Australia. All applications that meet the eligibility and selection criteria will be considered for this project. A merit selection process will be used to determine the successful candidate.
  
  Scholarship Value
  A Scholarship worth $28,597 per annum for 3 years.
  
  Some funding is available for conference travel and for collaborative visits to the other project nodes.
  
  Qualification
  Doctor of Philosophy.
