AutoCRC Scholarships for Postgraduate Research 2009 Australia
July 9, 2008Call for Research Proposals AutoCRC Scholarships for Postgraduate Research 2009
In order to achieve our educational and research objectives, AutoCRC is offering research scholarships for studies towards a PhD or Masters degree by research. The following areas are significant to the future of the Australian automotive industry and are areas of research focus for this program:
Fuels and Emissions
• If Australia is to move to temporary use of its own natural resources – CNG, LPG, coal then technical problems to be solved include:
o Storage and leakage
o Vehicle range
o Engine efficiency
o Minimising emission of GHGs and other pollutants
Safety and Intelligent Vehicle Systems
•Integration of the control system and communications functions of a vehicle into a single, upgradeable, portable, device that interacts in an “intelligent” way with the environment.
•New crash avoidance systems
Materials and Sustainable Manufacturing
•Effectiveness of alternative models for managing manufacturing emissions and waste
•Behaviours of non-ferrous metals
•Virtual manufacturing – automating design for assembly
•Virtual manufacturing – supply chain analysis Electric Vehicles and Powertrains
•Battery technology
•In-wheel motor technology
•Brushless DC motors
•Modular low-cost conversion systems for existing fleet
•Advanced feedback controls
Social/Policy issues
•What will the personal mobility needs of Australians be like by 2015? What are the business opportunities that arise from this?
•What are the social or technological factors that can change behaviours in relation to transport use – increasing efficiencies (traffic management, car pooling) and decreasing energy consumption?
• What is the most appropriate mix of transport fuels for use in Australia and what the specific barriers that prevent Australia from using optimal transport fuels?
AutoCRC will accept quality research proposals outside of the above topics but related to the broad research themes.
AutoCRC will allocate funding upon the basis of submission of high quality research proposals that have the potential of making a positive impact on the Australian automotive industry.
Scholarships are offered on the basis that the student and the University agree to the conditions set out at http://www.autocrc.com/edutrain-postgraduate.htm and that international students must receive a fee waiver or university scholarship worth $10,000pa or more.
Please note that AutoCRC is unable to award scholarships to students who hold an APA(I) award, or students involved in research funded by the ARC.
Scholarships
Scholarships consist of: $28000pa scholarship + $5000pa project support
Universities will be responsible for recruiting students.
AutoCRC requires that students have a minimum of Honours 2a or equivalent.
AutoCRC will facilitate an association between students and its industry participants where appropriate. It will also encourage the formation of student “clusters” between and within universities where there may be synergies between projects.
