Sydney Institute of Marine Science Foundation is offering 3 three-year SIMS Scholarships to post-graduate students in any discipline of marine science as additional support to students who have received an offer of, or who already hold an APA, APAI, international or equivalent scholarship at an Australian university. The work must be undertaken substantially at the Sydney Institute of Marine Science in conjunction with a host university.

The SIMS Scholarships are for twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500) each year for up to three years, beginning in 2011, paid at the beginning of each year, and may be used for research, travel or living expenses. An applicant must state clearly what the funds are requested for, and provide a supporting letter from their supervisor. Applicants should in addition provide a description (one page) of their project with their application, and a one page CV.

Students beginning their PhD program, or who have completed no more than one year of their candidature, are eligible. The Scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis, with recipients chosen by the SIMS Foundation Research Committee. Scholars will provide annual progress reports on their research to the Committee, and are expected to give one presentation per year to the public. Funding in the second and third years of the Scholarships is subject to satisfactory progress having been achieved in the previous year(s).

Applications are due at SIMS marksc@sims.org.au by Feb 21, 2011.

With support from its “Special Research Fund” (BOF), Ghent University wishes to support university research groups or research centres in developing countries in their aim to grow into excellent research centres by upgrading local academic personnel. Therefore Ghent University grants PhD scholarships to promising PhD students from developing countries who wish to carry out half of their PhD research at Ghent University and half in a university in a developing country.

No restrictions are imposed on the field of research, nevertheless preference will be given to topics that are relevant for development. Relevance for development measures the degree in which the action of development corresponds with the expectations of the beneficiaries, the needs of the country, global priorities and the policies of partners and donors.

The School of Civil Engineering at The University of Sydney offers a scholarship for a highly qualified student to undertake full-time research leading to a Ph.D. degree in Environmental Fluid Mechanics.This research project is aimed to investigate the dynamics of biomineral suspended particle matter (SPM) in turbulently-stirred waters, with a particular focus on the interaction between microparticles made of cohesive mineral and micro-organisms in nutrient-controlled conditions. The objective of this research project is to assess the effect of micro-organisms on the floc fractal properties, aggregation and breakup efficiencies, and the time evolution of the SPM floc size and settling velocity distributions in nutrient controlled conditions.

The project foresees a comprehensive experimental investigation in a newly designed facility which makes use of advanced techniques including optical recordings with micro-PIV devices. The project is also aimed at describing biomineral SPM dynamics with mathematical models that will be used in conjunction with the experimental data. The outputs and outcomes of this project have direct application to hydraulics and hydrology, water quality and management, and belong to the wider effort of our Environmental Fluids team to assess the repercussions of human activities and global water and soil changes on the ecosystem.
