Two Full-Time PhD Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarships (MQRES), Australia: Phonological and Morphological Development

/ February 16, 2011 Leave a Comment

Two full-time PhD Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarships (MQRES) are available in the Child Language Lab at Macquarie University’s Centre for Language Sciences.
The Child Language Lab at Macquarie University’s Centre for Language Sciences is keen to recruit suitably qualified PhD students to conduct research on phonological and morphological development. We are especially interested in recruiting those with strong quantitative, experimental, and phonetics background to explore issues in early speech perception and production in typical, language/hearing impaired, bilingual, and L2 populations. Methods include acoustic analysis, articulatory studies using ultrasound methods, infant speech perception studies, etc.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 7 March 2011

Biosphere Dynamics (Ecology and Evolution)
Employer: Macquarie University
Level: PhD
Scholarship Description: A full-time PhD scholarship is available in Biological Sciences in the CORE area of Ecology and Evolution at Macquarie University.

Project Name: Biosphere Dynamics
Possible research topics might include:

  • Global bioclimatology: analysis of present and modelled past and future changes in key variables influencing the distribution of terrestrial organisms
  • Fundamentals of primary production: synthesis of relevant observations and testing of alternative global models for natural ecosystem and crop productivity
  • Global water resources assessment: coupling river routing and land-surface process models for present and future applications
  • Large-scale data analysis of quantitative plant traits as a basis for a new generation of dynamic global vegetation models

Candidates should have a good undergraduate degree with first class honors or equivalent, in a relevant subject. Students with physical science backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply. Demonstrated aptitude for independent research (eg. a good Masters project), and quantitative and computational skills, are required.

Scholarship Application Deadline: 31 January 2011
