[Australia] 4 PhD Scholarships at Macquarie University

SCMP MQRES CRSI Recognition PhD
There are numerous domains in which the theory of recognition (especially the work of Axel Honneth) might be applied to better understand the experience of minority communities in Australia.

These might include, for example, the experience of Muslim populations in Australian cities, or the contemporary working and life conditions among migrant workers. The Centre for Research on Social Inclusion seeks expressions of interests from students wishing to explore the applicability of recognition theory in relation to migrant communities in Australia through a case study to be developed in discussion with the supervisory team and the student.

Closing Date: 30 March 2008

ICS MQRES Lab-on-a-chip Microbiology PhD
A full-time PhD Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarships (MQRES) is currently available in the Division of Information and Communication Sciences for a project in experimental lab-on-a-chip devices in the department of physics.

The successful candidate will undertake PhD research on design and fabrication of novel microfluidic devices for microbiology. The field of microfluidics concerns itself with a wide variety of interdisciplinary topics including fundamental questions in biology chemistry and physics. This project will involve the design and fabrication of microfluidic devices for concentrating and separating microbes, allowing for faster and earlier detection of dangerous organisms in fluids ranging from drinking water to blood. Fabrication will be done using an in-house semiconductor fabrication facility, and characterization will be done using state of the art facilities in the biology department. The skills gained in this PhD project will be valuable in the growing field of biotechnology.

Closing Date: 30 May 2008
