School of Mathematical Sciences
Applications are invited for the following scholarship leading to the degree of PhD in mathematical science.
The scholarship is supported by the Australian Research Council Linkage grant scheme and CQR Consulting.
Field of Study: Australia's critical infrastructure, e.g., water and electricity, rely more and more on computer networks. The goal of this project is to improve the security of these networks. The focus of the work will be on mathematical representations of the security system's elements, with a view to allowing network and security specification to take place at a high level, and be automatically implemented without dealing with the minutia of configuration of individual devices such as firewalls and servers. The potential impacts of the project include improvements to security in vital power stations and water plants, as well as improvements in efficiency in these same areas.
Eligibility: Applicants must be Australian Citizens or permanent residents of Australia who are acceptable as candidates for a PhD in mathematical sciences at the University of Adelaide. Due to the nature of the work, the successful candidate will require a police reference check.
Value: The scholarship will be for the period 3 years and has a stipend of $26,669 per annum, as well as generous travel and equipment funding. It is likely to be tax exempt, subject to Taxation Office approval.
Enquiries: Please email enquiries to Matthew Roughan at the School of Mathematical Sciences, and quote position number LP100200493.
To apply: Please email a summary of your application for admission to Matthew Roughan with 'Application for LP100200493' in the subject heading.

Deep Exploration Technologies CRC Supported PhD projects
School of Civil, Environmental and Mining Engineering
School of Earth & Environmental Sciences
Applications are invited for the following scholarship leading to the degree of PhD in Engineering/Science.
The scholarship is supported by. The Deep Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre (DET CRC) (https://detcrc.centric.com.au/index.php)
Field of Study: The vast majority of Australia's existing mines are located where basement is outcropping or shallow. In order to ensure the future of mining in Australia, new technologies must be developed to explore to greater depths, and under cover, in the vast, prospective areas of deep, covered basement. More successful, cheaper and safer methods of deep exploration require research and development in the drilling, in the logging and in the targeting of exploration holes. A number of PhD scholarships supported by the DET CRC are available now in the Faculty of Sciences and the Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences to investigate various aspects of technologies related to deep explorations. Key research areas include developments of new drilling technologies for deep explorations and various ground conditions, modelling of drilling process and optimisation of drilling operation.
Eligibility: Open to both domestic and international students. International applicants may also apply the Full Fee Scholarships to cover the tuition fee.
Stipend: The scholarship will be for the period 3 years and has a stipend of $22,860 per annum. It is likely to be tax exempt, subject to Taxation Office approval.
Enquiries: Email Dr Chaoshui Xu (cxu@civeng.adelaide.edu.au), School of Civil, Environmental and Mining Engineering or Dr. Steve Hill (steven.hill@adelaide.edu.au), School of Earth & Environmental Sciences.

Field of Study: The successful applicant will investigate the different representations of sea-clutter to see if it can be effectively used to improve target detection in the presence of the non-stationary sea-clutter. Application of techniques to real sea-clutter data will form an essential part of the PhD.
The project will involve the characterisation of sea-clutter, target detection and sea-clutter simulation. Possible directions include:
- investigation of different time-frequency representations, such as wavelets, of non-stationary sea-clutter data
- exploiting scarcity to enhance the detection of targets in non-stationary sea-clutter
- implementation of real target detectors using the provided real sea-clutter data
Eligibility: Applicants must be Australian Citizens who are acceptable as candidates for a Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Adelaide. Applicants may also be required to undergo security vetting if it is deemed necessary to progress the project. Applicants with a strong background in maths and/or signal processing will be favoured.
Stipend: It carries a stipend of $30,000 per annum, tax exempt. In addition, $10,000 will be made available to support travel during the course of the PhD
Tenure: The scholarship will be for three years with potential for a six month extension

Applications are invited for the following scholarship leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
The scholarship is supported by Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO).
Field of Study: The successful applicant will investigate the application of multivariate analysis techniques to the classification and cluster analysis of large datasets in order to optimise the process of identification of unknown chemical samples. These datasets are populated by experimental measurements and observations of the chemical and physical properties of unknown and reference samples using multiple analytical techniques. The aims of this project are:
- to develop a method that will produce a measure of the correlation between a newly acquired dataset and all other datasets previously captured, which may be in the order of thousands of datasets,
- to develop a method that will allow the automation of the identification of groupings of datasets which are closely correlated, and
- to identify which subset of the currently applied analytical techniques contribute the most value to the classification and clustering process.
Eligibility: Applicants must be Australian Citizens who are acceptable as candidates for a Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Adelaide. Applicants may also be required to undergo security vetting if it is deemed necessary to progress the project.
Stipend: The scholarship will be for three years and six months and has a stipend of $24,653 per annum. It is likely to be tax exempt, subject to Taxation Office approval.
