Geopolymer Concrete Launch Pads PhD Stipend
University of Southern Queensland
UniSQ is offering two stipend (living allowance) scholarships for international/domestic students studying, or commencing the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in 2022/2023. It is part of the iLAuNCH project – Geopolymer Concrete Launch Pads. The students will work with Rock Trade Industries (RTI).
Focus: This project takes advantage of the high temperature resistance and low carbon emission of geopolymer concrete as protective pad for launch site.
Background: Geopolymer concrete is a more environmentally friendly concrete to traditional Portland cement. It relies on minimally processed natural materials or industrial by-products to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of cement production, while also being highly resistant to many common concrete durability issues.
Value
- Stipend of AUD $32,000 per annum.
- Maximum period of tenure of an award is three years. Periods of study already undertaken towards the degree will be deducted from the period of tenure.
Eligibility
To be eligible applicants must:
- have completed a Bachelor Degree with First Class Honours, or equivalent level;
- have applied, or currently enrolled in the PhD at UniSQ;
- not be receiving equivalent support providing a benefit greater than 75% of the student’s stipend rate;
- commence or continue the PhD in Semester 3, 2022 or Semester 1, 2023.
Selection criteria
Applicants will be assessed on:
- alignment with the University’s research priority areas;
- academic merit, previous research outputs and research experience of the applicant;
- research track record of the proposed supervisory team;
- quality of the research proposal.
