AUSTRALIA; PhD Scholarship in Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges
PhD scholarship in structural health monitoring of bridges (up to $50K
tax free)
As one of Australia’s leading universities, Queensland University of
Technology (QUT) has a solid record of success in solving problems for
industry and the community, and developing new products and processes.
Applications are invited from appropriately qualified individuals for
a PhD scholarship being offered in QUT’s Faculty of Built Environment
and Engineering (Brisbane) to work on the following project:
Structural Health Monitoring of Bridges using Vibration Characteristics
Many bridges in Australia are old and are now subjected to heavier and
faster moving loads, than originally envisaged and in addition suffer
structural deterioration with age. These factors can cause localised
distress, which if not attended to can cause bridge failure with
adverse consequences.
To address this, the Commonwealth Government – through the Australian
Research Council, supported by Queensland Main Roads Department and
Brisbane City Council – recently funded a research project to develop
an innovative structural health monitoring system to monitor and
predict distress in our bridges.
This project will develop and use modern sensor (wired and wireless)
technology and dynamic computer simulation techniques to achieve the aims.
We are looking for a Honours graduate in Civil/Structural/Mechanical/
Electrical Engineering with interests in experimental work and finite
element modelling.
He/she can expect up to $40,000 pa tax free depending on
qualifications and experience. This amount includes approximately
$4,000 worth of tutoring. A top-up of $10,000 from CR-CIEAM is possible.
Application closing date
Applications will be considered until a suitable candidate is chosen.
